Government Shutdown Politics and Filibuster Stakes

It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report

On today's program:

More Epstein emails continue to surface, and they're becoming a growing problem for Donald Trump. Pundits are working overtime to run interference. In 2018, Megyn Kelly said on NBC that there's no such thing as consent for anyone under 18. But now that this standard is inconvenient for Trump, she's trying to reframe his reported attraction to 15-year-olds as "barely legal" in a grim segment on her podcast.

Columnist at salon.com and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, Heather 'Digby' Parton joins Sam to wrap up the week's news. They discuss the ending of the government shutdown, the Epstein Files, the failure of the Texas gerrymander attempt and more.

In the Fun Half:

John Fetterman blames TikTok as the reason that young people have turned on Israel and not maybe the genocide.

We get an update from the Gaza Bakery Family. Support their Go Fund Me here.

Donald Trump says that the 50-year mortgage isn't a big deal, who cares about a being indebted to a bank for 50 years and paying infinite more in interest.

Ben Shapiro thinks that if you can't afford to live somewhere than you should move. JD Vance blames the affordability crisis on immigrants. Good to see the GOP taking on the economic crisis in this country so seriously.

Comedian Ian Edwards does a great bit about ICE in the age of slavery. Check out the whole joke here.

New details emerge around Matt Gaetz's alleged predatory behavior towards a 17-year-old girl.

The Dave Rubin archive made a wonderful compilation video showing highlights of his coverage of the New York mayoral election.

All that and more
