Summary

It's an Emma-jority Wednesday and we've got 2 great guests for you. First though, Emma and Matt soak in some of the horrifying news coming out of Israel's siege on Gaza, where children are starving. The Trump administration has compounded the problem by continuing to support the Israeli military onslaught as they plan to intensify operations there.

After that, Syracuse University professor Austin Kocher joins Emma to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to conscript local law enforcement to crack down on immigrant communities, as well as other extreme and unconstitutional tactics being taken by federal immigration enforcement agencies. Check out Austin's writing and research on his Substack: https://austinkocher.substack.com/

Then Dr. Kellan Baker, Executive Director of the Institute for Health Research and Policy at Whitman-Walker, gives his reaction to a new Trump administration report that endorses the widely discredited idea of so-called conversion therapy. He also talks about the barriers the Trump administration is fortifying to prevent trans people from getting the health care they need.

In the Fun Half, Emma and Matt check in on the PBD podcast's reaction to the genius Trump idea of reopening Alcatraz as a prison. Their reviews are mixed folks! Meanwhile, Ben Shapiro is calling for the Trump administration to fire Peter Navarro and elevate Scott Bessent. All that and more on today's Emmajority Report!

0:00.0	Hey folks.
0:02.3	Hey folks.
0:03.7	Did you know that an estimated 5 billion plastic hand soap and cleaning bottles are thrown away every year?
0:10.5	And if that's not bad enough, most cleaning formulas are 90% water, which is heavy to ship, leading to excessive carbon emissions.
0:17.9	And these products often have nasty ingredients in them, like chlorine and
0:21.2	pneumonia.
0:21.9	It's a lose-lose situation for everybody and the planet.
0:26.3	And also, sometimes because of these microplastic, this microplastic situation, we're
0:34.6	eating and drinking roughly a credit card's worth of plastic a week,
0:39.1	which is not something I want to think about. The products that we are using every day are ultimately
0:43.8	contaminating our water supply, generating hundreds of microplastics that we end up ingesting.
0:49.5	So Blue Land has set out to do something about it. Eliminating the need for single-use plastic in the products
0:55.6	that we reach for the most. I use Blue Land at home with my dishwasher here in the office. All of our
1:05.1	soaps and stuff are refillable, and we use Blue Land and we swear by it. Blue Land is on a mission to eliminate single-use plastic
1:12.6	by reinventing cleaning essentials to be better for you and the planet with the same powerful
1:18.1	clean that you're used to. The idea is simple. They offer refillable cleaning products with a beautiful
1:23.0	cohesive design that looks great on your counter. I got to say that tin that the detergent pods come in is just adorable.
1:30.4	And if I wasn't using it for the pods, I'd be using it for decorative purposes or storage
1:37.1	purposes.
1:38.2	Maybe I've got to get two.
1:39.9	Fill your reusable bottles with water, drop in the tablets, and wait for them to dissolve.
1:43.7	You'll never have to grab bulky cleaning supplies on your grocery run, and refill start at just $2.25.
