Summary

It's Fun Day Monday

On today's program:

California has declared a state of emergency over the warehouse fire in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. The fire has been raging for five days now, releasing a black cloud of toxic smoke and destroying 85 million pounds of frozen food. Lineage Logistics, the company responsible for this disaster, has 55 workplace safety violations, 77 regulatory infractions and over $5M in unpaid penalties.

Mouin Rabbani, Middle East analyst, co-editor of Jadaliyya and non-resident fellow with the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies, joins the show to discuss what Trump's loss in Iran means for the Middle East. For more from Mouin consider subscribing to his eponymously titles Substack.

Astead Herndon, Editorial director at Vox and host of the podcast America, actually, joins the program for a conversation about the tomorrow's primaries in New York and their implications nationally.

In the Fun Half:

Political strategist Morris Katz speaks on MS NOW about the importance of progressive Democrats keeping their campaign promises otherwise it undercuts the credibility and makes it harder for other progressives to win elections. Katz uses the example of Antonio Reynoso claiming he wouldn't accept real estate money and then turns around and accepts donations from big real estate.

On a hostile roundtable, Faiz Shakir defends the progressive wing of the democrat party for offering material solutions to the scarcity crisis.

Lindsey Graham is eating crow after lobbying for an attack on Iran for decades only to get his wish and have the U.S. lose. Now Graham is desperately trying to figure out how to stay in Trump's inner circle whilst pushing to continue the combat.

Patrick Bet-David claims he was approached by major money guys to gauge his interest in being installed as a leader of Iran.

Bill Maher is offended that Zohran Mamdani has not accepted an invitation to Real Time.

All that and more.
