  • 3556 - Empire Abroad, Fascism at Home, Trump's America w/ Jeet Heer
    Jan 9 2026

    It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report

    On today's program:

    Zohran Mamdani reaffirms his position that his administration will not cooperate with ICE and NYC will honor their sanctuary city policies.

    Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent at The Nation magazine, joins Sam and Emma to wrap up the week's news.

    In the Fun Half:

    Country singer and influencer calls out the fascist state murder of Renee Good.

    In response to the shooting of Renee Good, Chuck Schumer says we need a full investigation to get to "the bottom of it."

    Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner issued a stern warning to ICE, CBP, the National Guard, and all federal agents: anyone who breaks the law in Philadelphia will be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted—and a state conviction cannot be pardoned by Donald Trump.

    An Uber driver expertly dresses down the dozen or so CBP agents — including Greg Bovino — who have swarmed in to harass him as he works.

    Tony Dokoupil delivers a meaningless monologue on the ICE killing that gives off the feeling of AI-slop writing.

    The right-wing media was given the body-cam footage from ICE agent Jonathan Ross — who fatally shot Renee Good during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis — sparking national outrage and debate over use of force and accountability.

    All that and more.

  • 3555 - Protests Erupt Over ICE Murder; Big Oil's DC Influence Operation w/ Nick Cleveland-Stout
    Jan 8 2026

    It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report

    On today's program:

    ICE agents kill legal observer Renee Good, shooting her point-blank in the head. Donald Trump takes to Truth Social to spread false claims of self-defense and smear Good's character. In lockstep with the president, Jesse Watters delivers a glib monologue attempting to justify the killing by pointing to the fact that Good had "pronouns in her bio," was a lesbian, and was a protest disruptor. Within an hour of the murder, Kristi Noem hails the agent as a hero who "saved the lives" of fellow officers—despite video evidence showing the exact opposite.

    Here is a link to a Go Fund Me to support Renee's widow and children.

    The New York Times publishes a piece highlighting the 9 ICE-involved shootings since Trump took office.

    An eyewitness to the murder panels on CNN to recount what she saw and debunk the self-defense lie coming from the Trump administration.

    We take a look at some stills from the shooting which clearly show that the officer was in no danger and shot offensively.

    Nick Cleveland-Stout, research associate in the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft , joins Emma to talk about Big Oil's involvement in policy shaping think tanks and their role in the Venezuela invasion.

    In the Fun Half:

    Brandon Sutton joins the show.

    Brandon and Emma continue the conversation about ICE's violence.

    Dan Bongino returns to the podcast world with his tail tucked between his legs.

    Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) claims the U.S. removed an illegitimate president who was not democratically elected, but he has no answer when pressed on whether the newly elevated vice-president was democratically elected.

    AOC and Graham Platner reactions to the state sponsored murder in Minneapolis show what real leadership looks like.

    All that and more.

    Jan 7 2026

    It's Hump Day on the Majority Report

    On the today's program:

    As Republicans continue to rewrite the history of January 6, we revisit footage from the riot and revisit the very different tone figures like Marco Rubio and Greg Gutfeld struck at the time.

    Labor-climate organizer and Labor Notes writer Keith Brower Brown joins the show to preview the biggest contract fights of 2026.

    In the Fun Half:

    The crew discuss an incident in which an ICE agent, while the show was live, shot a legal observer in the street—falsely claiming she attempted to run him over, despite video showing he fired as she passed by.

    As the right-wing media obsesses over the Somali daycare fraud story, Medhi Hasan highlights all of the convicted fraudsters that have been pardoned by Trump.

    An anti-war protestor in Grand Rapids, Michigan was arrested while talking to the local news.

    New CBS Evening News anchor, Tony Dokoupil continues his humiliating first week as Bari Weiss' lapdog.

    Tim Pool continues his milquetoast fence sitting while addressing Venezuela
