Summary

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

This Saturday Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, or he'll order the obliteration of their power grid. On Monday after Iran didn't bite, Trump granted five more days the deadline.

David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, joins the program to discuss Trump's mass deportations and the white supremacists that are behind the policy.

In the Fun Half:

Scott Bessent claims that by lifting sanctions on Iran's oil the U.S. is using jiu-jitsu.

Ambassador to the UN, Mike Walz participates in a town hall on the war in Iran and is asked by a student how this operation is helping him and Walz has nothing to offer but empty cliches.

Chuck Schumer gets into a heated exchange with Joe Scarborough over the $200 Billion in funds requested for the war effort.

A YouGov poll shows republican voters overwhelming supporting the war in Iran.

Vinny from PBD podcast makes a case against the U.S. collectively punishing Iranians by bombing their power plants and the rest of the PBD crew disagrees.

Bill Maher was set to receive the Mark Twain from the Kennedy Center, but Trump had a change of heart.
