Summary
It's an Emma-jority Thursday and we got a great show for you. Emma talks to Historian and Author Greg Grandin about his new book America, América: A New History of the New World.

After that, writer Brian Merchant discusses his reporting on AI and it's encroachment on human jobs on his blog Blood in the Machine:

After that we'll have Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton on, as is Thursday tradition. NYU Gallitan student Logan Rozos bravely recognized the Gaza genocide during his graduation speech, which has prompted the school to now withhold his diploma. Joe Rogan defends X's decision to allow Ye to post his new blatantly antisemitic single, and Kristi Noem runs interference in Congress for Trump's child-like interpretation of a clearly photoshopped image of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's tattoos.
