Summary

It's Monday! At the top of the show we discuss the Trump administration's deployment of the national guard to LA amid protests over ICE raids there.

After that, Sam and Emma welcome Eddie Fishman to discuss his book author Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare.

In the Fun Half, the Israeli military has detained the 12 activists from the Gaza freedom flotilla and is forcing them to watch videos from October 7th for some reason. We hear part of an interview Abby Martin did with one of the Madleen's crew members Thiago Da Vila. In Tel Aviv, thousands turned out for a protest holding pictures of kids who have been killed in Gaza since October 7th. After that, White House Jack-of-all-trade Stephen Miller is now doing economic analysis of the Big Beautiful Bill.
