Sam speaks with Zohran Mamdani, State Assemblyman for New York’s 36th District & candidate for Mayor, to discuss his candidacy.

https://x.com/ZohranKMamdani

Zohran Mamdani then joins, diving right into his history in progressive organizing spaces after joining the DSA in 2017, working on a city council campaign, as a housing counselor, and helping the NY Taxi Workers’ Alliance fight for reparations over the city’s Medallion bait-and-switch. Next, Mamdani walks through his campaign’s central policies, including launching a rent freeze on day 1 of his administration, pushing for a free bus program, and revolutionizing the city’s childcare policies, before he and Sam briefly shift to the overwhelming success of the city’s recently launched congestion pricing. Wrapping up, Zohran makes a final pitch to voters and unpacks what we can do to help his campaign. All that and more.

It's another Best of 2025 episode on the Majority Report.

On Today's program:

Original air date: February 11, 2025

Gil Duran, journalist based in California, proprietor of the website The Nerd Reich, co-writer of the FrameLab newsletter, joins to discuss his recent piece in The Nerd Reich entitled “‘Reboot’ Revealed: Elon Musk’s CEO-Dictator Playbook.”

https://x.com/gilduran76

https://www.thenerdreich.com/

https://www.theframelab.org/

https://www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-e...

Gil Duran then joins, diving right into the concept of the Network State – an idea advanced by Big Tech’s thought leader Curtis Yarvin and his billionaire buddies (Thiel, Andreessen, Musk, etc) that Tech CEOs should take advantage of the collapse of Nation States and democracy in favor of establishing corporate, CEO-run dictatorship, either by gutting and replacing existing governments or purchasing sovereign territories – as Duran unpacks his first introduction to this ideology with Silicon Valley’s attempt to hijack San Francisco’s political institutions, before parsing a little deeper through the recent, much more public discussions of this theory advanced by the likes of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Curtis Yarvin. After expanding on how we are already seeing the blueprint for a Network State in action, with Trump serving as a figurehead to a Tech CEO’s gutting of our administrative and democratic institutions in favor of sycophants and centralized power, Duran looks to how this came to be the active ideology of the GOP so quickly, unpacking how the collapse of the Biden campaign and naming of JD Vance as Trump’s VP opened up an opportunity for the Big Tech to step in, starting with Elon’s massive public $300m investment and culminating in Yarvin’s Reboot conference in San Francisco last September, exploring the obvious parallels between Big Tech’s dictator obsession and the GOP’s white nationalism and parsing through their unified scapegoating of “woke” and “DEI” in the leadup to the election to the point of completely dominating both mainstream and social media (bolstered by the financial leverage and ownership Big Tech has over those institutions). Next, Gil, Sam, and Emma unpack the major challenges facing the Trump-Musk regime, as Trump is on his last legs with no other favorable alternative in sight while any failure to maintain control over both political and media institutions potentially meaning a complete upending of their “progress,” not to mention the obvious lack of preparedness (or ability) for this institution to deal with any real public or institutional opposition – the latter of which seems to be particularly hopeless among Democratic leadership – wrapping up by emphasizing the genuine insecurity this regime faces in the face of public scrutiny and touching on the potential danger of Big Tech’s goal of replacing the US Dollar with Bitcoin.

It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report

On today's program:

Today is the deadline for the release of the Epstein files, and the DOJ is scrambling to delay and redact as much as possible.

Heather “Digby” Parton joins Sam and Emma to wrap up the week’s news. The three dig into the Epstein files, Trump’s impromptu speech on Wednesday, the results of the DNC’s self-audit, and more.

James Talarico makes his stance on the genocide in Palestine clear at a campaign event in Houston, separating himself from Jasmine Crockett.

Donald Trump falsely claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center as the Trump-Kennedy Center was unanimous, when in reality microphones were muted to silence dissent over the name change.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz hold a press conference announcing their attack on gender-affirming care, delivering a disturbing display of blatant misinformation.

Joe Rogan claims that “everyone” anecdotally knows someone who was injured—or even killed—by the vaccine.

Jim Breuer attempts to excuse his antisemitism with the tired defense: “Don’t listen to me, I’m just a jagoff comedian.”

All that and more.
