It’s News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day.\u00a0First, they run through updates on the DOJ stepping in to block JetBlue\u2019s takeover of Spirit Airlines, Oklahoma\u2019s weed vote, Atlanta protests at the developing Cop City, Florida and Ron DeSantis finally stepping up for the Davids of the world (insurance companies) as they take on Goliath (citizens), and Israeli protests shift to the military, before they watch the beautiful labor action in France as unions shut down the country ahead of Macron\u2019s attempts to extend the retirement age. Then, Sam and Emma parse through Biden\u2019s proposed budget adjustments to secure Medicare\u2019s future, from extending solvency by increasing the income tax cap to closing up loopholes, before confronting the inevitable right-wing backlash and what public funding the GOP is likely to hold hostage. Wrapping up, they emphasize why the backlash to successful welfare programs \u2013 from the CTC to Medicare \u2013 is actually about undermining the revelation that our economic system doesn\u2019t actually have to function the way we pretend it does.<\/p>\n
And in the Fun Half: Emma, Sam, and the MR Crew parse through Tucker Carlson\u2019s investigative reporting that reveals that some non-violence occurred alongside the violence of 1\/6, Russell Brand kills it as a critically non-critical centrist, and the team talks with Jack from Maryland and get an update from Cigil on the Nigerian election. They also tackle Kerry Lake\u2019s VP chances, discuss Karine Jean-Pierre\u2019s derisive comments towards Marianne Williamson, and Americo from Mexico calls in to bolster the show\u2019s support for trans rights. Sam and Emma discuss why Michael Knowlesism must be eradicated from public life, plus, your calls and IMs!<\/p>\n
