Summary

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

Donald Trump's erratic behavior puts the ceasefire with Iran in serious jeopardy. The deputy foreign minister of Iran says that Trump is sabotaging the diplomatic path by saying one thing and then doing another.

U.S. Marines seize an Iranian-flagged ship in the strait of Hormuz in a violation of the ceasefire.

Daniel Levy, president of the U.S Middle East Project, former Israeli peace negotiator under Prime Ministers Ehud Barak and Yitzhak Rabin, joins the program to discuss his recent op-ed in The Guardian headlined: "What Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli right really mean when they invoke 'Greater Israel'

In the Fun Half

Former Obama staffer, Ben Rhodes explains the Obama administration's rationale on their Cuba policy and calls out Joe Biden for being so chicken shit that his inaction led to Trump's blockade that is killing people at this moment.

Zohran Mamdani offers his assessment on the current state of the Democratic party.

Podcast dummy Jillian Michaels invites podcast idiot Stephen Crowder on her show to compare NYC Mayor Mamdani to the Ayatollah of Iran.

Sam Harris also does an insane segment on his show about Mayor Mamdani, calling him a sinister theocrat.

We take a look at highlights from this past weekend's Michigan Democratic Party Endorsement Convention. Topics include Mallory McMorrow throwing herself a parade, Haley Stevens getting booed and COry Booker begging for a Michigan fist.

All that and more
