Summary

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report:

On today's show:

Prince Andrew has been arrested following Epstein files revelations.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) holds a press conference after Les Wexner's closed door deposition probing his ties to Epstein. Rep. Garcia plainly states that there is Epstein traffic ring, island or private plane without the funding of billionaires like Wexner .

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) encourages the media to investigate the allegations made against Donald Trump in the Epstein files. Rep. Lieu also calls for the resignation of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche over his illegal redactions of conspirator's names, the un-redaction of victims and his role in transferring Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison.

Michael Edison Hayden, investigative journalist on far-right extremists and co-host of the Posting Through It Podcast, joins Emma to discuss his piece in Mother Jones on the far-right takeover of northern Idaho.

Itamar Ben-Gvir and his party are pushing for legislation allowing them to execute Palestinian political prisoners.

In the Fun Half:

Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show.

We take a look at some of the "highlights" of the Board of Peace event in Washington D.C. Including Trump getting horned up and then falling asleep and JD Vance bombing a joke about AOC.

Trump signs executive order to increase carcinogenic herbicides and pesticides production in America. This puts RFK, Jr. in a lurch as his work to end glyphosate's use is his life's project.

all that and more
