Summary

It's a Matt-jority Report Thursday on the Majority Report.

On today's program

Matt Lech is in the chair for Emma who normally would be in the chair for Sam.

Over 1,000 unionized Starbucks employees are striking today at 65 stores across more than 40 cities. The strike organized by Starbucks Worker's United, is taking place on Red Cup Day, one of the company's busiest sales days of the year.

In a pretaped interview, Emma talks to Fabian Holt, author of Organize or Burn and Lawrence Wang organizer for NY Public Power about the DSA's role in the fight for climate survival.

In the Fun Half:

We are joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder

Matt, Matt and Brandon discuss the updates on the Epstein files.

Nikki Haley's son, Nalin Haley debuts as a Gen-Z pundit on Fox News discussing why Gen-Z is so conservative. Spoiler alert he blames immigrants and poor people as he barks for his food.

Eric Trump goes on Fox Business to boast about the upsides of crypto. "You can transfer $500 million dollars on a Sunday night while having a glass of wine with your wife and virtually no fees!"

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says that the Democratic party completely neglects males and that they don't resonate with him as a high testosterone male. In another interview, Alex exhibits his manliness to a female reporter by showing off his sword thrusts.
