Summary

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

Donald Trump is considering sending troops on the ground to seize Kharg Island in an attempt to force the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

JD Vance asks Americans to take solace in the fact that our "allies" are suffering far more from the energy crisis we caused by our war in Iran.

Staff writer at The New Republic, Perry Bacon, Jr. joins Sam to wrap up the week's news. Check out Perry's podcast - Right Now with Perry Bacon, Jr.

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) joins the program to discuss his new proposed tax plan and the war in Iran.

In The Fun Half:

Senator Mark Warner questions Tulsi Gabbard on why Donald Trump sent her to observe the Fulton County election office raid when the president was not meant to know about the raid ahead of time.

Senator Mark Kelly asks Gabbard and CIA director Ratcliffe on their thoughts on Trump offering "unfiltered national security" briefings to his big donors.

Donald Trump holds a press conference with the Prime Minister of Japan where he jokes about pearl harbor.

Markwayne Mullin is an idiot and thanks to John Fetterman he is moving forward into the Senate to get confirmed as the new secretary of DHS.

Patrick Bet-David has really upset their audience over their cheerleading for the war in Iran.
