Summary

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump’s latest jobs report as the Wall Street Journal warns that tariffs are dragging down growth and the Supreme Court fast-tracks a case on their constitutionality. They analyze Trump’s attempts to shift blame onto the Fed, the risks for Republicans if they ignore economic anxiety, and why inflation has left household incomes stalled since the pandemic. Kander and Gupta also dive into RFK Jr.’s explosive Senate hearing, where firings at the CDC and confusion over vaccine access sparked bipartisan backlash against his leadership at Health and Human Services. Plus, they discuss Trump’s escalating “war on cities” after deploying ICE raids in Chicago, new controversy over Epstein documents that put Trump back in the spotlight, and the White House’s rebranding of the Pentagon as the “Department of War.” This and more on the podcast that helps you, the majority of Americans who believe in progress, convince your conservative friends and family to join us—this is Majority 54!

0:00.0	We have breaking news regarding new details about last week's strike on an alleged Venezuelan drugboat.
0:07.0	Then, how many previous secretaries of health and human services can you name?
0:10.0	Not many, because it's the type of job where you're only known if you suck at it.
0:14.0	And RFK Jr. is becoming very, very well known.
0:18.0	Trump's mismanagement of the economy is beginning to reveal itself and it's not good for
0:21.6	America. Trump went retro with the name of the Department of Defense just in time for him to declare war on Chicago, which is the kind of thing that if you predicted it a year ago, you'd have been dismissed as an alarmist. This week, the Speaker of the House went from claiming Trump was an FBI informant on Epstein to backing off that and just saying he didn't think it was really the president who drew that dirty
0:40.4	picture as a love letter to a criminal pedophile. In the second half of the show, we'll be joined by former Congressman Joseph Kennedy III. Welcome back to the podcast for the 54 for the 54 for the 54 for the 54. who regularly vote for progress in every election. I want to convince their friends and family members to join a majority.
0:55.1	This is Majority 54.
0:56.8	Ravi, before you start, I We vote for progress in every election. I want to convince their friends and family members to join our majority.

0:56.8	Ravi, before you start, I talked about this last week and you were in here, this Venezuelan
1:01.9	boat.
1:02.2	I don't know how much you've been able to follow it, but there is breaking news from the New York
1:05.6	Times that the Venezuelan boat that the U.S. military destroyed in the Caribbean last
1:09.8	week had altered its course and appeared to have turned around before the attack started because the people on board had apparently spotted a military aircraft stalking it, according to American officials familiar with the matter.
1:22.4	The officials speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, added that the military hit the
1:28.0	vessel repeatedly before it sank. So, Ravi, last week, I talked about this as two things.
1:34.9	One, a demonstration that with this focus on South America and Latin America that the United
1:40.6	States seems to be pivoting back to an isolationist world where we are constrained
1:45.7	to our own hemisphere, the Western hemisphere, and not influencing the rest of the world because
1:51.5	it happened simultaneous to China and Russia and North Korea getting together for a big summit.
1:58.0	But then the other thing was just, it made no tactical sense that they decided to blow up
