  • Intellectually lacking

    The shows host are to frequently mis using language and tend ramble incoherently. Leaving the listener wondering what they mean. The show tries my patients when listening.

  • Tunnel visioned.

    It’s a good left leaning show, with great insights, but could be so much if there were more variety in viewpoints. It’s hard for them to get to the bottom of anything with just one view point. They don’t seem to fully understand the dynamics of other countries and are willing to overlook information to pile on blame to the right.

  • Two good, one bad

    I love the show. Sometimes I listen daily, sometimes I miss it for a while and then listen to everything I missed. Emma rules. Sam rules. The guests need some work. Emma and Sam know how to speak and deliver because there is actually some intentional broadcasting on their part. Perhaps a Majority Report employee can coach the guests, who spend less time broadcasting, on being a little stronger. on mic. Step one: be mindful of the vocal fry. The constant trailing off into sentence long, low pitch... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2718 - Economy Slowing; RIP Dolly Parton; How Police Seized Political Power w/ Stuart Schrader
Q: How did police unions transition from a labor force to a political power broker?
Schrader explains that unions exploited the 1960s public-sector union wave, negotiated contracts, and used their leverage to influence policy, often aligning with or against urban liberal policies to protect their interests.
2716 - Fixing Trump's Trade War; West Bank Under Siege w/ Lori Wallach, Mohammad Hesham Huraini
Q: Your reaction to the escalations with Carney and the Canada tariffs and what that means for ordinary workers.
Tariffs are a small portion of total trade and their effects are often inflated; the real impact comes from how policy shapes supply chains, prices, and the broader industrial strategy that supports domestic production.
2712 - Primary Preview; Trump's Assault on History w/ Priya Jain
Q: Tell us, what is Section 106 of what?
Priya Jain defines Section 106 as a provision within the National Historic Preservation Act that requires federal agencies to consider the impact of their undertakings on historic properties and to involve stakeholders in the process, ensuring public input and protection of historic resources.
2709 - ICE's Insane New Toy; How The Israel Lobby Conquered US Politics w/ Eli Clifton
Q: What is the core argument of your book about Israel's lobby in the United States?
The core argument is that Israel's lobby operates with a broad, largely American-based network that has built a powerful influence over US policy. This includes sizable campaign contributions, structural access to political processes, and sophisticated strategies to shape public opinion and political outcomes without fully disclosing external influence.
2710 - Deployed Sailors Are Getting Desperate; The Media's Obsession With Hasan Piker w/ Jeet Heer
Q: What are the implications of centrist Democrats treating Hasan Piker as a political foil?
Heer argues the strategy risks expanding Hasan's audience, potentially energizing younger voters while frustrating longtime party establishment figures, and could influence primary dynamics.
