Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Brad Onishi, writer, co-host of the Straight White American Jesus podcast, and founder of Axis Mundi Media, to discuss his recent book Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism – And What Comes Next. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Biden's tight grasp on his candidacy, major defeats for the right wing in the UK and France, Iran's presidential election, the Lancet report on Gaza's 180k+ death toll, ceasefire negotiations, Project 2025, anti-administrative attacks on trans care, Boeing's plea deal, and the passing of Jane McAlevey, before diving a little deeper into the ongoing conversation about the future of Biden's candidacy. Brad Onishi then joins, diving right into the pivotal moment of the 1960s-70s social and electoral movements – from Civil Rights to the ERA – that brought the aggrievement of the “religious right” in the US back to the fore, and saw the return of a true Christian Nationalist movement in US politics. Stepping back, Onishi looks at his roots in the birthplace of this US Conservative Christian movement – Orange County, California – and the major role this county played in offering an escape for southern and midwestern “implants” from “urban diversity” (Black people), as myriad conservative-driven industries boomed in post-WWII SoCal. Expanding on this era's particular distillation of Christian Nationalism, Brad walks Sam and Emma through the proliferation of America-first rhetoric in the burgeoning Mega Church and Evangelical communities, with hyper-Americanism and theocratic rule fusing in a cogenerative movement to reclaim the country from “fake” Americans that could not be trusted with socio-political power, a perspective deeply ingrained in the modern day conservative movement. After expanding on the contemporary manifestation of this movement's proliferation (Donald Trump, Jan 6th, the overturn of Roe v. Wade, etc), Onishi wraps up by expanding on his connection to this movement, what we can learn from much of his community's escape-from-evangelism, how to organize the left against this threat, and the role traditional catholicism plays as a guiding force for this movement. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Sam watch NC Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson speak in front of the cross about the innate American desire to kill some folks, parse through the unsurprising yet wildly devastating Lancet report on the drastic undercount of deaths in Gaza, and unpack Hamas' acquiescence to a temporary ceasefire. They also expand on the conversation about Biden's future, including CNN's recent report on Biden's underperforming polling, and where it leaves other electoral races, before watching Dave Rubin build up his expectations for the conservative contagion's performance in Europe before it all comes crashing down in front of him, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. But first they speak with Ian Millhiser, senior correspondent at Vox, to discuss the end of the Supreme Court term, including the blockbuster decision regarding presidential immunity. Sam and Emma begin with updates on Biden and Trump's differing reactions to the recent Supreme Court decision, Biden's campaign for president, AOC's articles of impeachment for the Supreme Court, Biden's environmental, workplace, and student debt policies, Israel's continuing violence, the disbarring of Rudy Giuliani, and Hurricane Beryl, before highlighting the interesting change of perspective that Justices Roberts, Alito, and Kavanaugh all seemed to have undergone on that whole “holding Presidents to account” thing. Ian Millhiser then joins, diving right into the complicated task of reconciling the Supreme Court issuing to landmark – and wildly contradictory – decisions the last week, including the overturning of the Chevron Deference Doctrine – which drastically shackles the federal government – and the granting of presidential immunity for “official” acts – which (obviously) fully unleashes the president's power to rule. Expanding on this, Millhiser, Emma, and Sam unpack the common thread of the self-empowerment of the judiciary, with the former decision essentially putting administrative choices in the hands of the Court and the latter presenting a central distinction (whether the act is “official” or not) that can only be decided by the Court. After tackling how the “immunity” decision changes the perspective on both former (e.g. Watergate) and ongoing attempts to hold presidents to account, and what these decisions tell us about the Courts fascist tendencies and general incompetence, Ian gives his take on how the Chevron decision might come back to bite the conservative Court in the ass, and wraps up with a brief assessment of the Supreme Court's decision in Moody v. NetChoice. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack some major stories developing behind the scenes of the Democratic machine as Carl Bernstein and Nancy Pelosi make telling comments about Joe Biden's future as the Democratic presidential candidate. They also parse through Biden's lackluster response to the Supreme Court's Immunity decision, new polling (including internal Democratic Party numbers) on Biden's failing candidacy, how Kamala Harris might perform as his replacement, and what that VP conversation could entail. Jimmy Dore and Candace Owens ponder why we care about Jewish trauma, plus, your IMs!

Then, comedian Brandie Posey is back to talk Trump getting out of paying his full bond and Israel freaking out over the most minor ceasefire resolution. Also, Congress just defunded UNRWA thanks to passing a $1.2 trillion budget and only 22 democratic hold outs. GOOD TIMES.

Biden has been nibbling away at corporate greed ever so gingerly, but we rarely hear about it. That's why David Dayen of The American Prospect joins to wonk-splain how things are going with Bidenomics and what is at stake fiscally in November. But before that, Wajahat Ali joins Francesca to talk about the suspiciously timely TikTok ban the house just voted on, and why even a classic Nancy Pelosi-ism can't save the real aim of it. Then, who is the RFK Jr. voter? A rich suburban lady in an alpaca shawl. And finally, Trump-mates! The battle is on to be an American dictator's righthand punching bag.

For every Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, there's a Pramila Jayapal and a Ro Khanna. And how is Hindu nationalism abroad impacting the diaspora at home? Francesca and Jeet dig in. Plus, the Biden administration is embracing ceasefire in Gaza? Or are they rebranding their "humanitarian pause" BS? Comedian Emily Van Dyke joins to make sense of Vice President Kamala Harris' most recent speech. Finally in an edition of "You Love to See It" activists worldwide are divesting from occupation, protesting the IDF and calling Joe Manchin a sick f*ck. Amazing stuff, guys.

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Luke Goldstein, writing fellow at The American Prospect, to discuss his reporting on the special election being held today in New York's 3rd Congressional District. First, Sam and Emma run through updates into the Senate's military aid deal, the House GOP's Mayorkas Impeachment 2.0, flight attendant labor action, Joe Biden's limp warnings to Israel, inflation, and Kari Lake's Senate candidacy, before diving into the response to the Senate's Foreign Aid bill for Ukraine and Israel. Luke Goldstein then joins, diving right into his assessments of NY-3's special election candidates, walking through Democrat Tom Suozzi's relationship to Israel-aligned PACs, as well as his relationship to the NY Democratic establishment, and the GOP's Mazi Pilip's role as an ex-IDF member with a shady financial past, before focusing in the primary fighting grounds of support for Israel and general conservatism. Stepping back, Goldstein walks through Suozzi's connections to Jay Jacobs, Chair of the NYS Democratic Committee and head of the NY Dems' right-wing shift that lost the Democrats the House in 2022, before looking at both Suozzi and Pilip's desire to separate themselves from their national party leadership, and wrapping up with an assessment of their chances. Sam and Emma also dive into the King of Jordan's recent appearance alongside Biden, Biden's insistence on looking weak to everyone, whether it be over immigration or Israel, and conclude the free half by looking at the continuing action in Israel to block aid to Gaza. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Jon Stewart catching flack from the libs over stating Biden's age, watch Tucker get repeatedly cucked by Putin, and chat with Lefty Paul Ryan about talking to your lib friends. Femme Shapiro bravely uses her Daily Wire platform to uplift child labor, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with independent journalist Erin Reed, author of the Erin In The Morning newsletter on SubStack, to discuss the state of anti-trans legislation moving its way around the country in 2024. Then, they speak with Margie Mason & Robin McDowell, investigative reporters for the Associated Press, to discuss their recent reporting on prison labor in the United States. And in the Fun Half, Tim Heidecker makes a special appearance! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the House GOP blowing their majority, Donald Trump's legal woes, the Nevada election, UAW expansion, Ronna McDaniel, and the IRS, also watching MTG reflect on the recent failures of her and her cohorts. Erin Reed then joins, diving right into the busy 2024 in state-level anti-trans legislation in the US, first parsing through the media's insistence on emphasizing bigoted and misinformed perspectives – as seen in the New York Times's recent piece by Pamela Paul – and how the arguments seen in those texts are perfectly reflected in the statehouse hearings in red states. Expanding on this, Reed walks through the major legislative developments in the anti-trans fascism of the US, including Indiana's school-snitch forms, the plethora of legislation coming out of Missouri and Iowa, and Florida's Real ID bill, before wrapping up by looking at the major donors behind the GOP's tactic of all-out transphobia. Margie Mason and Robin McDowell then walk Sam and Emma through their research into the thriving industry of Prison labor in the US, with a particular focus on the agricultural industry and how it presents a clear thread on the US' evolution from a Slavery economy to the Prison-Industrial Complex. They then look to the Louisiana Angola Prison as a perfect representation of this, literally evolving from a plantation to a prison over Reconstruction, helping them to tackle the role of the 13th Amendment in pushing this development, before parsing through the major labor rights issues involved in prison labor, and how states do (and don't) regulate it. Wrapping up, Mason and McDowell explore the reactions from major industries and corporations that benefit from prison labor to the growing transparency around the issue, and what changes to look for moving forward. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma are joined by Tim Heidecker as he and Sam put aside their differences in appreciation of the true journalism that the US so lacks today. Expanding on this, they parse through Tim's in-depth report on Tim Pool's too-easily digestible content, explore some industry musings on what could be going on behind the scenes at the Compound™, and ponder the likelihood of an FBI infiltration into the TimCast team. Sam and Emma also parse through the unsurprising reports coming out about the dearth of proof in Israel's claims about UNRWA involvement on October 7th, and have an expansive conversation on Democrats' (and the media's) insistence on fully embracing Donald Trump's framing on the immigration debate. Tucker Carlson and Brett Weinstein ponder gender ideology, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the US public's opposition to Israel's genocide in Gaza, Medicare drug price negotiations, the Child Tax Credit, a US immigration deal, GOP fundraising, Eric Adams' fundraisers, and the NTA strike, before diving into the absurd coverage of Cori Bush's ongoing ethics investigation. Jeet Heer then joins, diving right into the complete failure of the US' supposed attempt to prevent Israel's genocide in Gaza from becoming a regional conflict, first discussing Jake Sullivan's pre-October 7th claims touting the Biden Administration's peace in the region, before touching on Biden's supposed “behind the scenes” talks with Israel, and the role they play in keeping his Democratic colleagues at bay. Next, they look at Biden's ongoing attempt to normalize Israel-Saudi Arabia relations, despite that being a primary factor in Hamas' 10/7 attacks, whether his refusal to return to the Iran Nuclear Deal plays into his belief in Trump's Abraham Accords, and how the hell this conflict can be seen as any sort of a win for his reelection campaign. Wrapping up, Heer dives into his premonitory coverage of the right-wing's obsession with Taylor Swift. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch House GOP's members explain why they're voting for the Mayorkas impeachment, a Texas convoy member explains how Jews are paying Hezbollah to invade the US even though they're going to attack Synagogues, and Matt from Alberta discusses the chaos of Alberta's politics under the conservative premiership of Danielle Smith. Eddie from Fort Worth dives into the story of Stetson Kennedy, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro explain why becoming uber-wealthy is pious, actually, and Marjorie Taylor Greene tries to censure Ilhan Omar because of – get this – racism, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Donald Trump's widening lead heading into the New Hampshire primaries, the Supreme Court's decision on the Supremacy clause and Texas' border policy, Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, the US and UK's continuing strikes against Yemen, the US' growing labor consciousness, Senate policy, and developments in the US tax game, before watching Nikki Haley hold those darn Media Trumpers accountable on Fox and Friends. Next, they parse through Shawn Fain's recent statements calling for preparations for a General Strike in 2028 (with an apt callback to the Reagan era), and explore the Democrats' minimal gains from their ongoing capitulation to the GOP's radical immigration policy. Next, they get into updates out of Gaza, including Israel's complete decimation of Gaza's infrastructure and cultural institutions, their flailing military campaign, and why the American people are so “obsessed” with this issue, also touching on Netanyahu's ongoing battle with the families of Israeli hostages. Wrapping up, Sam and Emma tackle Biden and the UK's ongoing battle with the Yemeni Houthis, the absurd and destructive futility of the tactic, and tackle Israel's recent meeting with the EU over their plans for a prison island for Palestinians. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Joe Rogan kindly platform an up-and-coming content creator (it's just him falling for fake news again), John from San Antonio calls in to discuss Greg Abbott's rejection of the Supreme Court's recent decision on Texas' border wall and walks through some previews of state-level Democratic primaries. They also reflect on Nancy Mace's endorsement of Donald Trump, and Dave Rubin defends people's right to spread blatant lies about him as long as it's fascist, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Ian Millhiser, senior correspondent at Vox, to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court term. Then, they're joined by litigator Mark Bankston who has a special announcement! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on our 45-day reprieve from a government shutdown, the ongoing chaos among the House GOP despite that, Gov. Newsome's disappointing unilateral action, Donald Trump's fraud case, and labor action nationwide, before parsing through commentary on the House GOP's absurd power struggle. Ian Millhiser then joins, diving right into this Supreme Court term's primary challenges to the administrative state – namely Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo – exploring the lasting governance of the Chevron Doctrine's deference to government agencies, and the sudden emergence of the anti-democratic “Major Questions Doctrine” that the Court has been using to undermine any “major” decisions by government agencies (including student debt reform). After parsing through the evolution of these two doctrines (and the jurisprudence backing them up) and how Loper might see SCOTUS move onto the “Micromanaging Questions Doctrine,” Millhiser walks Sam and Emma through the radicalization of the US' 5th Circuit over the Donald Trump administration, exploring how the GOP was able to blockade Obama's appointments and confirm Trump's en-masse. Wrapping up, Ian, Sam, and Emma tackle the far-right decisions coming out of the 5th Circuit, and what (if anything) the Supreme Court will do to keep their underlings in line. After Sam and Emma quickly parse through Jamaal Bowman's ongoing Congressional debacle, they're joined by Mark Bankston to discuss his representation of Ben Brody in a defamation case against Elon Musk, parsing through the issue at hand, what libel cases entail, and the vast damages that can come from the abuse of one's public station. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma tackle the madness surrounding the still-impending government shutdown, dive a little deeper into the unsurprisingly racist coverage of Jamaal Bowman… pulling a fire alarm, and assess Biden's recent statement on the Civil Rights Act. Next, they dive deep into Gavin Newsom's astounding decision to name Laphonza Butler – a fundraiser who's never held public office – to Dianne Feinstein's Senate Seat over the over-deserving Barbara Lee, before Owen from LA helps parse through Butler's past, Dan from CA provides some good ol' unproductive libertarian debate, and Hannah from San Diego dives into the absurdity of the rental market as a military-civilian.

It's Casual Friday! Sam is joined by Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. Then, he is joined by MR alum extraordinaire Jamie Peck to discuss what exciting things she has coming up. And THEN, he's joined by Matthew Film Guy! First, Sam runs through updates on Donald Trump's Georgia case and the GOP's case against Fani Willis, Mitch McConnell's return to the Senate, national union action, the end of another COVID support program, and the Texas Supreme Court upholding a ban on trans-affirming care for minors, before watching UAW President Shawn Fain rail against the “policy failure” that is the existence of billionaires. Heather Parton then joins as she and Sam work through the Georgia GOP's ongoing attempt to impeach Fulton County DA Fani Willis, Governor Brian Kemp's rejection of that, and why that might not help back the radicals down. Expanding on the far-right's role in the legislature, they then tackle Kevin McCarthy's ongoing debacle as he attempts to give his colleagues a baseless impeachment against Biden in exchange for NOT shutting down the entire government, and why they still want both, before quickly running through the NLRB's massive decision in a case against Cemex. They wrap up by more broadly assessing the state of Joe Biden and his administration heading into the 2024 election. Jamie Peck then dives into the upcoming debut of her variety show “The Woke Mob” with Jake Flores, this Saturday in New York, before parsing through the ongoing organizing and protest against Atlanta's Cop City, what Cop City is, and why – despite massive public disapproval for the project and over 100k signatures for a referendum – the Atlanta City Council is taking every chance to undermine attempts to stop the project. Matthew Film guy helps wrap up the program as he and Sam discuss the recent gift-giving debacle involving Ronald Raygun, the ongoing WGA-SAG strike, and gives his recommendations of the book-turned-movie Dogs of War and Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Wild Pear Tree. And in the Fun Half: Sam covers Tucker's flailing pivot to ‘X' and strong relationship with Hungary, Ed from Seattle discusses yesterday's interview's portion on Hannah Arendt, and Jack from Cleveland platforms Rudy Giuliani's legal fund. Michael in Miami expands the conversation on Rudy's troubles, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's an ALL CALLS edition of Casual Friday! Call in at 646-257-3920 if you want to chat with the MR Crew! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Donald Trump's Not-Guilty plea, his other legal challenges, the continuing Fed assault on labor, Justice Kagan's response to Alito, the Biden Crime Family, more scientific support for gender-affirming care, and Wisconsin's new era of politics, before diving into Jeff Merkley's discussion of a Biden primary challenger, and where the progressive fight lies heading into 2024. Next, they expand on the massive indictment on Donald Trump that occurred this week, a first step in holding any US President accountable for their actions, watching Trump's attorney John Lauro talk with Laura Ingraham as a foreshadowing of his future legal defense, alongside his “other” defenses (delaying and racism). Next, they parse through Jack Smith's killer indictment, and how the work tactfully prepares for the various legal avenues Trump's defense might take, before wrapping up the free half by basking in the glory of Rudy Giuliani's hellish last few weeks of leaks. And in the Fun Half: Nick from Pennsylvania dives into Tesla's various product failures, John from Oregon tests the waters on that whole “alien” thing, and Jessica from Ohio clarifies that the Kink community does NOT claim Rudy Giuliani. Jasmine from Texas gives an update on SB-193, and Josh from Chicago discusses the Saudi invasion of professional sports. They also chat with Hank from Austin, and Brandon from Cincinnati on organizing under Amazon, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam hosts Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Donald Trump keeping his criminal charge numbers up, Mitch McConnell's future in the Senate, ramping heat waves across the US, environmental and fuel efficiency standards, and Elon's continuing fraud, also watching Ron DeSantis attempt to defend his white supremacist curriculum. Digby then joins as she helps parse through Trump's attempt to repurpose the “Crooked” and “crime family” monikers from Hillary to Biden, and touch on Ron DeSantis' floundering campaign and why his attempt to out-flank Trump on the right was ridiculous. Digby, Sam, and Emma then attempt to assess what the hell his message is going into 2024, and what the greater GOP message is (and is it anti-Social Security?), before wrapping up with coverage of the ongoing strife between McCarthy and… the rest of the House. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Jack Smith's Hall of Fame pace with his Trump charges, explore the spiraling campaign of RFK, and tackle why the UFO story isn't actually worth the coverage right now. Sandy from Ontario reflects on the recent terror attack at the University of Waterloo, Moody from Minneapolis dives into a recent public school data breach, and Vivek Ramaswamy shows off his hot bars. The MR team also watches Steve Deace's recent meltdown, and a heartwarming story of organizing against fascists, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma host Daniel Bessner & Derek Davison, co-hosts of the American Prestige podcast, to discuss last week's NATO summit in Lithuania. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on labor action across the US, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, AIPAC Dems' attacks on Jayapal, and Ron DeSantis, before watching AOC help pump up a crowd of UPS Teamsters in the lead-up to a potential strike. Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison then run through a brief history of NATO since the fall of the USSR, exploring how the US dealt with the disappearance of its only hegemonic challenger – choosing to push a mass expansion of the anti-Soviet (and pro-US) NATO alliance, and ramping up their levels of military action across the globe as the project for a New American Century began. Bessner and Davison then look to the 2004 NATO expansion alongside NATO action in Afghanistan as a continuation of US tactics of hegemonic expansion during the Cold War, particularly the country's shift towards a capitalist-focused foreign policy that maintains the dominance of the US Dollar. After looking at the US and NATO's stance towards Ukraine, and how the decision to tempt them with acceptance completely bit the organization in the ass, they wrap up by assessing the US' slow pivot to the Pacific, and looking at what role the US can (and should) play in promoting peace in Ukraine. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Ron Pearlman's killer response to Bob Iger's comments about using the strike to force actors into homelessness, before tackling the incredibly spineless and corrupt response by Democrats to Rep. Jayapal's statements on Israel's apartheid state. Jim Jordan defends the little man (Elon Musk) against constant attacks (emails) from the oppressor (Lina Khan), Jody from MA dives into the problems with assisted living, and Miles from Minneapolis dives into his experiences with the Teamsters' Sean O'Brien. Sam and Emma also address RFK's odd anti-Semitic and sinophobic COVID claims, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's a JAM PACKED Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Alex Pareene, Contributing Editor at the New Republic and host of the Politics of Everything podcast, to round up the week in news. Then, they're joined by actor and SAG-AFTRA member Andrew Leeds to discuss the most recent vote by the union to authorize a strike. And THEN, they're joined by comedian Andy Kindler, host of the Thought Spiral podcast! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Republicans' absurd budget proposal, the Democrats successfully killing it, and SAG-AFTRA going on strike, as well as the disgusting corporate proposals that got the film and TV industry to this point. Alex Pareene then joins as he dives into the continuing story of inflation, and what could have been if the establishment wasn't so keen on ignoring its roots in price gouging. Next, he, Emma, and Sam look to the Republicans' grotesque $900bln defense bill as perfectly exemplary of the GOP's complete capitulation to anti-woke politics despite its stunning lack of popularity – something that's also seen in the falling popularity of the once-prophesied DeSantis campaign, before wrapping up the interview with an assessment of New York state politics post-Cuomo and what a strong NY Democratic party could mean on the national level. Andrew Leeds then walks through the central issues facing SAG-AFTRA, discussing the massive role residuals play in actors' income, and in qualifying for healthcare and other union benefits, only for the streaming revolution to nearly take these payments off the shelves entirely. After expanding on the attempted gigification of the acting industry, Andrew wraps up by discussing the incredible spirit of solidarity in the union (and their sister orgs), and what those on the outside can do to help. Andy Kindler concludes the first half as he assesses the incredible grifting done by Jimmy Door, and tackles why the hell some famous people get so obsessed with being wrong they dive headfirst into bigotry.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer at Slate, to discuss the bombshell rulings that came down at the end of the Supreme Court's most recent term. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and outside support, the future of a government shutdown, the Supreme Court ethics bill, climate change, labor action, and more theocratic fascism from the right, before diving into the anniversary of the Tusla White Supremacist massacre of a massive Black community, and the Oklahoman Right's ongoing effort to revise history. Mark Joseph Stern then joins as he tackles the rollout of the Supreme Court's most recent session, beginning with moderate cases in June before rapidly dropping vitriolic right-wing decisions right before the July 4th break, effectively helping to bury the disastrous role the Court is continuing to play in US politics. Next, he, Sam, and Emma parse through the individual roles the liberal justices on the Court have assumed, before Stern walks through SCOTUS' recent rejection of Student Debt Cancellation via the HEROES Act, why the Court relied on the Major Questions Doctrine, and whether the Biden Administration's pivot to the Higher Education Act could be successful. After a discussion on 303 Creative v. Elenis, the absurd lack of standing in the case, and how it largely undermines Lawrence v. Texas (Sodomy Law), Emma, Sam, and Mark wrap up the interview by assessing the affirmative action decision, and Clarence Thomas' ultimate decision to limit active diversity to the military. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive into the Biden Administration's advancement of war crimes in Ukraine, sending cluster bombs in the face of decades of research to their devastating civilian impact, UPS Teamsters begin assembling the ranks for an upcoming strike, and Donald Trump gets very confused about who absolutely should be in jail and who absolutely shouldn't. Keith from Ashville dives into recent experiences with transphobic in public (and how to deal with them) and Jonuh from Richmond brings up debate tactics online vs. irl. Cody from Denver shares his experiences with the devastating real-world impact of transphobia on individuals and their communities, and inspires a discussion of the absolute need to be a militant advocate for marginalized communities, particularly in the face of escalating political persecution and bad faith attempts to justify them.

It's Casual Friday! And Sam's BACK from vacation! He and Emma talk to David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through this week's headlines, including the impact of the Fed's continuing impact on workers, US funding for Ukraine, three straight days of global heat records, Lula's impact on Amazon deforestation, and labor action, before Sam parses through his recent trip to Monticello. David Dayen then joins as he starts by peppering Sam with questions about his work with RFK as well as Kennedy's political evolution over the last two decades, before the conversation shifts to Dayen's recent article on the economic theory of government spending “crowding out” private business. David parses through what this economic theory entails, how it has become baked into any US policy, with any public spending requiring equivalent support for private businesses, and why the incredible success of the IRA and CHIPS act should absolutely be challenging this and the role direct public investment can play in the economy. Continuing, David, Sam, and Emma tackle the material impact a change in our economic philosophy could have, and what a return to big government could mean. After a quick discussion on the continuing inflation misinformation, they wrap up the interview by assessing the Biden administration's pivot to the Higher Education Act for Student loan forgiveness. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Fox and Friends try to shift recent job growth to be demonstrative of… the failure of Biden's government, Ron DeSantis gets hit with “Why don't people like you?” by a Fox host, and Ben Shapiro, notorious theocrat, tries to make out queer identity to be a “belief system” thus not a protected identity. NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson does apologia for the Moms for Liberty, and Greg Gutfeld talks violent crime, like detergent theft, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Lauren Kirchner, investigative reporter at Consumer Reports, to discuss her recent reporting on the chemicals known as PFAS. Then, Sam's joined by Alex Sammon, politics writer at Slate, to discuss his recent piece entitled "Want to Stare Into the Republican Soul in 2023?". Sam kicks off the show and reacts to yet another bombshell piece of reporting from ProPublica on Samuel Alito's previously undisclosed fishing trip to Alaska with hedge fund billionaire Peter Singer. The only difference is, this one came with a prebuttal Op-Ed from Justice Alito himself in the form of a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed. Then, Lauren joins the show to discuss the multi-district lawsuit involving PFAS, the "forever chemicals" that are used for non-stick purposes like Teflon and ScotchGard, and how the lawsuit is geared towards firefighting foam that has PFAS as its main ingredients, and that it's ultimately seeped into soil and drinking water. They then go into the origin of the phrase "forever chemicals", as well as one of the more notable litigation efforts against the usage of PFAS, as was the case in Ohio involving Dupont and the Teflon manufacturer 3M that was ultimately adapted into the film "Dirty Waters." Sam asks about EPA rule-making when it comes to PFAS, what the history of that has been, and what is being done now by Biden's EPA to limit the usage of PFAS. After diving into some more of the particulars of the current multi-district lawsuit, they finally dive into the history of the development of PFAS in the 1970's, and how 3M got involved with mainstreaming it, before 3M ultimately had to reveal to the EPA that a large majority of the population has PFAS within their bloodstream due to air and consumption exposure (even newborn babies are born with PFAS in their bloodstream!). Then, Alex joins the show to discuss his recent visit to a huge car dealer conference in Texas, the insane profit margins that car dealers have experienced especially since COVID started, and how they are underrated in how singular their political influence is in electoral politics, especially in Republican politics. Alex and Sam then discuss the unique campaign finance gambits that Ron DeSantis is engaging in with his presidential campaign and his "Never Back Down" Super PAC, and whether it's really "legal" or not. And in the Fun Half, Sam and the MR Crew take a look into the House Judiciary Committee hearing regarding Special Counsel John Durham and his investigation that yielded no convictions, part 2 of Trump's Fox interview with Bret Baier (a new sound drop emerges from these clips), Chris Christie shocks CNBC with how unlikable he is, and Sam's former Red Sox legend turned psychopath Curt Schilling really shows how far things have come since the 2004 miracle team by telling Jesse Watters (metaphorically!) that Republicans should take up arms against the left.

It's a special All Calls Casual Friday! Call into the show at 646-257-3920! Sam and Emma also talk to Astra Taylor, co-founder of the Debt Collective, about what's next in the fight to maintain student debt forgiveness as the Supreme Court gears up to rule on President's Biden's plan. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Supreme Court's recent decision impacting native sovereignty, peace in Ukraine, Iowa's abortion ban, labor action, and climate change, also diving into Boris Johnson's exit from Parliament and the MASSIVE updates on the Biden crime family (turns out there's still not much). Nathan from Kansas City dives into the bigger picture of pistol brace legislation, Kaley from Boston discusses the relationship between queer acceptance and legislation, and Mike from Troy takes on the absurd lack of comprehension Matt Walsh and Jordan Peterson have on the topic of trans medical issues. Sam and Emma also listen to JP's Antifanalysis, Eric from Pittsburgh brings up criterion censorship, and Dave from Charlottesville explores the dem-ification of NC and the impact it has on local corruption. Astra Taylor then walks through the state of Biden's student debt relief, why his admin insisted on using the HEROES Act, and why other avenues remain open to him. They also assess the impending Supreme Court cases on the issue, and explore what Biden actually would be open to. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma talk with Anonymous about the world of political consulting, Jake from Rhode Island discusses the impact of a local school board takeover, and Steven from Mississippi explores the relationship between fundamentalist religion and the rejection of non-religiously-affiliated welfare. DJ Cold Case clears up some of yesterday's Discord drama, Michael Knowles is offended by a flag, and Billy from Sacramento dives into her experiences transitioning, and the lack of understanding around hormone therapy, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Alex Pareene, Contributing Editor at the New Republic and proprietor of the AP newsletter on Substack, to round up the week in news. Then they are joined by comedian and writer Adam Conover to give an update on the WGA writers strike. First, Sam runs through updates on the debt ceiling, labor updates across the US, Biden's student loan forgiveness, Georgia's Trump investigation, and Ron DeSantis' continuing embarrassments, also touching on the Right's most recent super secret documents that will definitely nail the Biden family this time! Alex Pareene then dives right into assessing how much this debt ceiling could've been avoided if Democrats weren't obsessed with publicity and crisis politics and had just passed it in December, walking through the myriad legislative shortcomings from Biden and Democratic leadership since the first separation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill from Build Back Better. Alex and Sam wrap up by tackling the GOP primary, and whether every single Republican hopeful might just be praying for a Trump conviction. Adam Conover then talks Sam through updates on the writers' strike as it reaches its fifth week, tackling the scope of the issues – from the gigification of the job to the labor threat of AI – and exploring why the Film and TV CEOs are so intent on breaking age-old norms of how to make good products just to save a few bucks. Wrapping up, Adam walks through the Guild's proposals and the value of both intra-union and inter-union solidarity. And in the Fun Half: Sam and the MR Crew discuss Trump's claims that going-anti-woke makes you go broke, admire Donald's fine tiptoeing of the vaccine-denial line, and explore Chick-Fil-A's decision to go woke! Markwayne Mullin boldly asks “Why not just replace actual education with religion,” and Redford in Dallas parses through an upcoming real estate crisis, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect to round up the week in news. Then, they're joined by David Feldman of The David Feldman Show! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the debt ceiling debacle, Trump's masterful classified document gambit, Gov. Waltz stopping Minnesota's legislative roll dead, and the corruption of Ken Paxton, before parsing through the Supreme Court's dismantling of the EPA's clean water act and the future it warns for the Chevron Doctrine. David Dayen then joins as he, Sam, and Emma walk through the ongoing non-negotiations that are also totally not about the debt ceiling, from why Democratic leadership is continuing to speak one way and act another, to the potential roles of a continuing resolution or sequester tactic. They also dive into the lawsuit against Biden and Yellen filed by a Boston Federal Employees' Union, and why Biden will ultimately have to break a law (whether constitutional or congressional is up to him), before watching AOC's response to Democrats legitimizing McCarthy's tactics, and assessing the “red lines” of either party in this negotiation. David Feldman trades barbs with Sam and Emma before Sam realizes they're just speaking to a computer. And in the Fun Half: MR Emeritus (MR-itus?) Brendan Finn calls in to reflect on his time with MR and offer up Sam 72 boys to mentally train, the MR crew assesses DeSantis' presidential tact now that he's actually announced and Trump's response to said announcement. They also touch on why the media refuses to cover Biden's horrifying immigration policy, and touch on progressive arguments on the future of debt forgiveness, plus, your calls and IMs!
