Summary

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

Julie Menin, the multimillionaire Speaker of the New York City Council, is opposing Mayor Zohran Mamdani's budget proposal by responding to a moderate tax increase on the ultra-wealthy with cuts to city programs. Unrelated, Menin owns a $22 million mansion in the Hamptons and a $7 million apartment on the Upper East Side. No conflict of interest there.

Heather 'Digby' Parton joins the program to recap the week's news. Check out Digby's work at Salon as well as her blog Hullabaloo. Topics include the American right-wing's desperation to keep Victor Orban in power in Hungary, Trump firing all the women around him, Iran and more.

Trump

In the Fun Half:

Harry Enten presents polling that shows Congressional democrats' ratings are in the toilet.

Joe Rogan gets very uncomfortable every time Theo Von brings up the genocide in Palestine.

Matt Gaetz tells Benny Johnson about an alleged briefing he got from a uniformed servicemember about an interspecies breeding program between aliens and people captured in warzones operated by the CIA.

Karoline Leavitt is fighting to keep her job by flattering Trump in typical North Korean style ass kissing.

Megyn Kelly is not happy with the Trump's administration's handling of the war of Iran.

A couple of pastors from Pete Hegseth's denomination perform unconvincing toxic masculinity - these guys are certainly not hiding from themselves.
