Echoes of FDR: Navigating Authoritarianism and Progressive Visions

It's Hump Day on the Majority Report

Today is Michael Brooks birthday and we are celebrating him by bringing on two of his favorite guests.

But first the Trump administration is nominating EJ Antoni for the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics despite a deluge of conservative economists labeling him incompetent. Not to mention that he has made several media appearances while using a Nazi battleship as his Zoom background. An incompetent Nazi in the Trump administration?

Author and co-founder of Black Star News, Milton Allimadi joins us to discuss Frances retreat from West Africa.

Here are some links to Milton's appearances on The Michael Brooks Show:

Historian and Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Harvey J. Kaye joins us to discuss Trump's authoritarianism and it's place in American history.

We are thrilled to have Michael's sister, Lisha Brooks join us to discuss his legacy and how to honor Michael's legacy.

Matt Lech's Left Reckoning co-host and former TMBS producer David Griscom joins the show to discuss Texas politics and working with Michael.

In the Fun Half:

James Talrico appears on the Will Cain's show and owns him so much that Cain has to fake an ad break to get out of the segment.

Rep Tim Burchett (R-TN) is so scared of crime in DC, also has been attacked by colleagues in the halls of Congress and kicked in the ribs by a horse on his farm. This poor guy has to live in office to avoid all the crime.

All that and more plus your IMs.

Happy Birthday Michael Brooks.
