Summary
Happy new year! It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report
On today's program:
Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as the 112th mayor of New York City.
Jose Luis Granados Ceja, journalist at Drop Site News covering Latin America, joins Sam and Emma to discuss the Trump's Venezuelan coup.
In the Fun Half:
Chuck Schumer warns the GOP that if they don't stand up to Trump then they will "feel the heat" from their base. Such leadership.
We go through the slew of the threats waged by Trump at Greenland, Cuba, and Columbia.
Marco Rubio says if you live in Havana and work in the government, you should be concerned. Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump second this notion on Air Force One.
Pat Ryan releases a campaign ad that highlights the similarities between Iraq and Venezuela.
Joe Rogan misleads or misunderstands overdose data attributing the decline in deaths to Trump when the data ends before he took office.
All that and more.
