Summary

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Day 1 of the RNC, Trump’s VP pick, Elon’s $45m/month pledge to Trump, the background of Trump’s would-be assassin, Trump’s legal woes, Biden’s sinking polling, the US economy, immigration and the border, and RFK and Cornel West’s ballot access, also parsing through Trump’s pick of JD Vance as his VP, why it’s a financial (rather than electoral) choice, and what to make of Vance’s unsurprising 180º on Trump since 2016. Next, they shift focus back to the RNC as the GOP puts the assassination attempt (but notably not the victims) at the forefront of the conference and watch the Teamsters’ Sean O’Brien immediately lose his audience as he shifts from the “both sides” lauding of GOP Representatives to discussing actual working-class issues.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Shawn Fain show why he’s the better union-Shawn with a call to action for May Day 2028, react to the breaking news of Bob Menendez’ guilty charge(s), and Sam unpacks his feelings on the increasingly-obvious right-wing rat-fuck campaign of RFK Jr. as a call between him and Trump leaks. GOP Leadership has a tough Johnson showing from both Mike and Ron, and the MR Team tackles Biden’s recent interview with Lester Holt and the increasingly frustrating future of his candidacy, plus, your calls and IMs!

0:00.0	Hey, folks, it's no secret that for much of my life, I've been satirially challenged, and particularly when it comes to more like dressware.
0:11.8	I've never been terribly good at that. And what has saved me? Roan has saved me. Men's closets were due for a radical reinvention and Roan stepped up to the challenge.
0:23.2	Roan's got something they called the commuter collection. It's the most comfortable,
0:27.5	breathable, and flexible set of products known to man and here is why. Roan helps you get ready
0:33.4	for any occasion with the commuter collection. It offers you the world's most comfortable pants, dress shirts, quarter zips, and polos,
0:42.9	and frankly, also sport jackets.
0:46.3	And you can turn them into a suit, which is what I did.
0:49.4	You don't have to worry about what you're going to wear when you have the Rhone Commuter Collection.
0:54.1	Rhone hasuter collection.
0:57.9	Rhone has four-way stretch fabric. It provides breathability and flexibility that leaves you free to enjoy what life throws your way.
1:04.9	I have worn my Rhone dress shirt, which feels like, I don't know, like a, like a comfy, stretchable shirt.
1:15.6	It's like the most comfortable workout wear you can think of, but it doesn't look like workout wear.
1:20.4	It looks like a dress shirt.
1:22.4	And I have worn that and my Roan suit to, well, sadly, it was awake. But then I went to, I had a meeting,
1:33.4	and then I had like a big, nice dinner. And the beauty of Rhone is it's got wrinkle release technology.
1:42.9	The wrinkles disappear as you stretch and wear the products.
1:45.9	It's that easy. And it also has something they call Goldfusion, which is basically an anti- odor technology.
1:53.1	You'll be smelling fresh and clean all day. And Roan is 100% machine washable. So you can ditch the dry cleaner all together.
2:04.3	The commuter collection can get you through any workday straight into whatever comes next.
2:08.4	Head to roan.com slash majority report.
2:11.1	Use the promo code majority report.
