Summary

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

Trump threatens to end a whole civilization on Truth Social this morning. Implying that he will drop a nuke on Iran. This after he called Iranians animals at an Easter event yesterday. Also, yesterday, Donald Trump said he believed that God supports his war in Iran.

Pete Hegseth gave another ChatGPT written dumbass speech where he compared the rescued pilot that was shot down in Iran to Jesus Christ's resurrection.

Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Arindrajit Dube joins the program for a conversation about his new book entitled; The Wage Standard: What is Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix it.

In the Fun Half:

Ben Shapiro's Zionism have become a pair of concrete socks, shilling for the war in Iran as his viewership tanks.

The Triggernometry guys are left gob smacked by the stupidity of Iranian monarchist Elicia Le Bon as she claims that 150,000 members of the IRGC are ready to defect to Reza Pahlavi with no source for that number.

Donald Trump is offended by a reporter's question about his mental acuity and lashes out in an insane rant about Asian countries not helping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat from New Jersey, shills for the war in Iran on CNN as his GOP counterpart Marjorie Taylor-Greene calls to invoke the 25th amendment.

JD Vance doubles down on Trump's nuclear threats on Iran while stumping for Viktor Orban in Hungary.
