Summary

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report
 
On today's program:
 
After the Clintons agree to testify before Congress about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump says he feels bad that "they're going after Bill Clinton," adding that "Bill Clinton got me, he understood me." The comments stand in contrast to Trump's remarks during the second presidential debate in 2016, when he said there was "no president in history who has been more abusive to women than Bill Clinton."
 
Trump announces a shift in his mass deportation policy, saying that they no longer want to force themselves into cities where they are not wanted. He wants the mayors and governors to ask for his help and to say "please".
 
As Trump shows vulnerability around ICE, instead of seizing on this opportunity, Hakeen Jeffries and Chuck Schumer use this moment to soften their demands around ICE reform.
 
Dan Friedman, senior reporter in Mother Jones' DC Bureau joins the program to discuss his piece in MJ "Trump's War on History".
 
In the Fun Half:
 
Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show.
 
In a released audio recording of a phone conversation between Larry Summers, Ehud Barak and Jeffrey Epstein reveals Barak's anxiety of Israel's decent into a single state with an Arab majority.
 
In another released audio recording, Jeffrey Epstein is advising Ehud Barak to reach out to Peter Thiel to get a spot on Palantir's board. A year after that phone call, Palantir opened an office in Israel.
 
An in-depth piece by Jake Lahut on Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) reveals her alleged heavy drinking. Mace says that she has a condition that prevents her from being able to drink alcohol despite there being photos, videos and disputes from former staffers that contradict the claim.
 
all that and more
