Summary

Welcome back to The Majority Report

On today's program:

After turning his back on every campaign promise and tanking the economy for a meaningless war, Donald Trump's approval rating is nearing historic lows.

Nicholas Enrich, former civil servant who worked at USAID under four administrations joins the program to discuss his new book: "Into the Wood Chipper: a Whistleblower's Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID"

In the Fun Half:

Senator Richard Blumenthal asks three different Trump judicial nominees if Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and all three refuse. Meanwhile, as Blumenthal questions the nominees, Senator Chuck Grassley is caught on a hot mic asking why they won't acknowledge Biden's victory.

Senator Chris Coons asks a Trump judicial nominee if Trump is ineligible for a third term per the 22nd amendment and the nominee is afraid to acknowledge the law and close the door on a third term.

WNBA star Kelsey Plum does not understand how marginal tax rates work. If you have been listening to MR for more than a week than you know that marginal tax rate literacy is his passion project.

The Daily Wire has had to layoff 50% of their employees after they failed in their children's content endeavor.

All that and more.

0:48.1	I own, not only do I own an aura frame, but I have given it as a gift to multiple people. My mother, my father,
0:57.6	my girlfriend's parents. They loved it so much. They got a bunch of kids. They got one for every kid.

1:19.4	Even if you had months in advance the plan, you can load up as many videos and photos as you want onto the frame before it's out of the box.
