Summary
It's Casual Freebie Friday on the Majority Report, in fact so casual that Matt and Emma aren't even here today.
On today's show:
In reaction growing economic anxiety and the looming stagnation Trump taps on his friend from the Heritage Foundation, Scott Moore to print off some big, beautiful charts showing numbers "no one has ever seen". Turns out there is nothing to worry about. The old numbers wrong and these new numbers are right. Phew.
Osita Nwanevu joins the show for a great conversation about Democracy and his case for a new American founding. You can preorder Osita's book The Right of the People now and it will hit the shelves next Tuesday.
We are then joined by Marc Maron who discusses the winding down of his WTF podcast, the state of comedy and his new special "Panicked" out now on HBO.
Stephen Miller is trying to distract from Texas GOP remapping by spreading lies about the census.
Harry "Emden" Enten has some positive news for Democrat polling although it could be a lot better if Dems would any kind of vision for the country.
Benjamin Netanyahu is interviewed on Fox where explicitly states that Israel intends to take full control of Gaza but don't worry, he promises to give it back.
Nancy Mace is asked a simple question to which she answers with accusations of misogyny towards the female reporter.
Charlie Kirk displays some real misogyny as he describes America as a toxic-feminist state and claims Trump to be a beacon of masculinity. Cue YMCA.
All that and more plus your IMs.
The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.
