It's a jam-packed show for today's Emmajority Report, starting with some alarming news about the Trump administration cutting funding for vital research on women's health. After that, Emma talks to Jacob Silverman about Donald Trump's crypto shenanigan sand how the Trump camp is financially benefitting from manipulating the markets.

Check out Jacob's latest piece for the Financial Times "Welcome to slop world: how the hostile internet is driving us crazy" https://www.ft.com/content/5d06bbb4-0034-493b-8b0d-5c0ab74bedef 

After that, Emma speaks with Abdel El Sayed, who has just launched his campaign for a Senate seat in Michigan and has the backing of Bernie Sanders. He talks about his experiences as a public health official and how they informed his political outlook and why he's putting health care and particularly Medicare for All at the heart of his platform. He also thinks the Democrats need to do better when it comes to keeping groups like AIPAC out of their campaigns.

In the Fun Half, Emma will be joined by the usual Thursday crew, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton. They check in on LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein-Soto and why she's being credibly accused of bias against the pro-Palestinian protesters she's prosecuting. The gang also takes in Fox News' response to the Irish band Kneecap's anti-Israel protests at Coachella.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

Elon Musk's star is in retrograde following Tesla's abysmal earnings report. This as Trump continues to take a sledge hammer to the IRS and other federal agencies. We have Merici Vinton on the show today, who is a former staffer at the U.S. Digital Service Department, which became absorbed by DOGE when Donald Trump took office. She's also a former adviser at the IRS.

Check out her recent piece in the Federation of American Science: https://fas.org/publication/end-of-irs-direct-file/

In the Fun Half, Sam revels in podcaster Jennifer Welsh shouting at Rahm Emmanuel for throwing trans people under the bus when talking about what issues Democrats should focus on. Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan lament the negative impact that Trump's policy are having on the upcoming Canadian election. As always, Peterson is wearing a very silly suit. Also, Republican Congressman Byron Donaldson gets shouted at at a town hall in Florida by constituents who are PISSED about Elon Musk and DOGE.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

Newsday Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the latest news leaking out of the Pentagon, as well as Fox News host Will Cain's non-apology after acknowledging he was wrong about doubting that Donald Trump had ever said that he wanted to deport U.S. citizens. Republican congressman Austin Scott gives some hints as to how Republicans are planning to make cuts to Medicaid.

Then Emma and Sam also speak to Brendan Benedict, an antitrust and commercial litigation lawyer who is covering antitrust cases for the blog Big Tech on Trial. He gives us an overview of the Google antitrust cases, as well as the current Facebook case which Brendan is covering now for Big Tech On Trial.

Check out their coverage here: https://www.bigtechontrial.com/

In the Fun Half, Emma and Sam check ask why Donald Trump continues to punt on releasing more of the Epstein files. They also check in on comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz, who says he switched from being a Democrat to being a Republican because conservatives are doing cool sh*t now, like saying and doing whatever they want (as long as it's not critical of Israel). Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Brian Kilmeade suggest that the Deep State is out to get him, and that despite them he's not going to join the "cocktail sipping" crowd. Also, the White House welcomes a new journalist into the briefing room with the bravery to finally ask hard-hitting questions, Tim Pool.

Sam is back from vacation and he and Emma have a lot of news to get through today. Pope Francis has passed away shortly after meeting with Vice President JD Vance, there's a fresh story of leaked DoD Secretary Pete Hegseth's communications about U.S. operations in Yemen, and there's lots of news on the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

It's casual Good Friday, and oh what a week it's been. Emma breaks down Senator Chris Van Hollen's meeting with his constituent Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador, as well as the way the White House and Bukele are trying to spin it.

After that, Emma speaks with the new chairman of the House Progressive Caucus Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), who shares his vision for how the Democratic Party can push back on Trump's draconian immigration crackdown, as well as providing a more positive vision for a forward-looking immigration program of their own. Emma also asks Casar about what conversations are taking place within the House Progressive Caucus about the disconnection between the Democratic Party at large and its constituents on Gaza. Casar also talks about his experience on the Fight the Oligarchy tour with Bernie & AOC, and his desire to make sure the federal government is rid of Elon Musk by May.

After that, Emma is joined by Some More News' Cody Johnston, to talk about what is happening (or not happening) to counter the Trump administration's full-court blitz. David Hogg and Chris Cuomo take shots at Bernie, AOC and DNC co-chair David Hogg for "taking a page from the MAGA playbook." Carvel even suggests that he might try to sue Hogg for saying that he's going to support primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats. They also marvel at Jair Bolsonaro's latest edition of shirtless hospital selfies.

Check out Some More News' YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@SMN

In the Fun Half, we watch the interview that Mohhsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia who is now in ICE custody, gave before the day of his arrest. His story may be chilling but his words and spirit are an inspiration and beacon of hope in an otherwise dark time.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

It's a busy Thursday here at MR HQ, and Emma dives right into the significance Judge James Boasberg's finding cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for not adhering to his previous order on deportations. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Van Hollen is in El Salvador where he's been prevented from visiting his Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Then, Emma is joined by writer, activist and professor Naomi Klein about her new essay The rise of end times fascism. Naomi points out the new form that right wing authoritarianism has taken in finding ways to exit society and Earth itself.

Naomi co-wrote the essay with Astra Taylor, which you can read here in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/13/end-times-fascism-far-right-trump-musk

After that, infectious disease doctor MarkAlain Déry joins Emma in the studio to discuss the challenges facing public health under the Trump regime, especially from Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. who continues to spread misinformation about any number of things, including about autism and vaccines. MarkAlain expresses his concern that essential programs that receive federal funding could now be in jeopardy, especially those that cater to marginalized communities, especially undocumented people.

In the Fun Half, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton are here to break down the video of Republican senator Chuck Grassley getting yelled at by his constituents at a town hall over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The group talks about how entrenched some of the support for Trump is among his base, even when his policies cost them their jobs. They also discuss how the attention on the Abrego Garcia is a moment when Democrats need to keep their foot on the gas and show voters that they are willing and able to fight for justice.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

Halfway through Emma-jority week and we're still just getting started. We check in on a Chuck Grassley town hall where he's confronted by angry constituents in a small town in Iowa. Then Emma is joined by Lawfare senior editor Anna Bower to break down the legal back and forth between the Trump administration and Kilmar Abrego Garcia's legal team.

Check out her coverage on Lawfare: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/contributors/abower

And follow her on Twitter: @AnnaBower

We also hear some good news from Anthony Squitire from NYC Alamo United's bargaining comittee, about how they negotiated and end to their strike after management agreed to reinstate all laid-off staffers.

In the Fun Half™, Emma is joined by Francesca Fiorentini. The ladies break down Elon Musk's disgusting impregnation fascination, the faux-feminist Blue Origin flight (with a shout out to Emily Ratajkowski and her A+ take), before calling out the fascist political framework of Trump's immigration crackdown.

Follow Francesca Fiorentini (@franifio)  and come see her and Matt Lieb in San Francisco on May 7th. Tickets here: livemu.sc/4h6BPKG

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

It's a Newsday Tuesday with Emma on the mic. She recaps the chilling spectacle that was the Bukele-Trump Oval Office meeting / press availability, including the Kafkaesque exchange over the wrongfully deported Maryland father Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. As Emma explains, despite the Supreme Court's ruling that the administration must make an effort to bring Abrego Garcia home, the Trump administration and and El Salvador's crypto-strong man both claim to be unable to abide by the ruling out of deference to one another.

Emma then talks to Annelle Sheline, a research fellow in the Quincy Institute’s Middle East program who's latest paper focuses on the U.S.'s prioritization of weapons sales over human rights. Annelle gets into some of the thinking of her state department colleagues over this issue, which she finds to be rooted in outdated American exceptionalism. The hypocrisy is particularly noteworthy when it comes to Israel, despite growing public sentiment against Israel's destruction of Gaza and perpetual subjugation of the Palestinian people.

Read Annelle's paper "Under Primacy, Weapons Sales Will Always Supersede Human Rights" here:

https://quincyinst.org/research/under-primacy-weapons-sales-will-always-supersede-human-rights/# 

In the Fun Half, Emma further peels the onion of Stephen Miller's lies about the Abrego Garcia case, citing the administration's own court filings. She then delves into the debate between Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh over trad wives and whether women should only tend to the needs of their husbands and children. Ben Shapiro and Some More News also get in on the action. And a caller asks how he might talk to members of his family who have gone down the conservative rabbit hole.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

It's Monday, the first day of an Emma-jority week, so buckle up!

First, Emma breaks down the latest tariff chaos, with Howard Lutnik and Peter Navarro singing different tunes in explaining why goods like computers, cell phones and the much coveted chips are being exempted from the tariffs. But Navarro doesn't want you tall them exemptions though just FYI.

After that, Salvadoran-American author,  activist and educator Roberto Lovato joins Emma here to give us some context to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's visit to Washington. During his meeting with Trump, Bukele makes it clear that he doesn't plan to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, despite that the Trump administration has already admitted he was sent to a prison in El Salvador due to an administrative error and that SCOTUS already ordered the Trump administration to make an effort to bring him Abrego Garcia home. Roberto helps contextualize this horrifying new dystopia in history of U.S. - Salvadoran relations. As Roberto points out, Bukele's rise and relationship with Trump is a sign not just of the U.S.'s impact on the Central American country but also visa versa.

Check out Roberto's book "Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution": https://bookshop.org/p/books/unforgetting-a-memoir-of-family-migration-gangs-and-revolution-in-the-americas-roberto-lovato/14340061

In the Fun Half, Emma checks in on David Rubin and his attempts to understand U.S. - China relations. Emma also breaks the news of the arrest of Palestinian Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was at an appointment where he was set to become a U.S. citizen. We also learn about all the countries Russ has lived in (Chile, Argentina, Colombia & Brazil, kind of).

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

It's Casual Friday (relatively speaking), and Sam and Emma start the show with some glimmers of good news on the immigration front, following the Supreme Court's ruling that the Trump administration must make an attempt to bring home Kilmar Armando Ábrego García. The government already admitted they deported Garcia to a maximum security prison in El Salvador because of an administrative error. Sean McGarvey, the president of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers where Garcia is a member, has demanded he be brought home.

  Sam and Emma are then joined by The Nation's national affairs correspondent Jeet Heer to break down the implications of Trump's chaotic tariff policy, which is accelerating de-dollarization, including among the U.S.'s most (normally) steadfast allies. They also break down the warped logic of Trump's immigration crackdown, including the weaponization of the immigration system for the sake of Israel. Jeet makes the point that both Democrats and Republicans have participated in the weaponization of faux concerns about antisemitism which has brought us to this moment. Jeet also gives his opinion of the much-discussed Abundance Agenda.   Check out Jeet's writing here: https://www.thenation.com/authors/jeet-heer/   In the fun half, Sam and Emma react to billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya complaining that Democrats never gave him access to the Oval Office despite the fact that he donated millions of dollars to their campaigns. They also take in Jesse Waters' breakdown of Trump's bizarre cabinet meeting, an all-star sycophantic ceremony with highlights from Elon Musk, RFK Jr. Pam Bondi & Pete Hegseth, each one trying to out-headline the other.
