"Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) on Sunday defended the focus of his 2020 presidential campaign on economic issues, saying that many Americans are tired of "just getting by."
"This Week" host George Stephanopoulos asked Ryan during an interview on ABC whether campaigning on economic issues will be effective, given that President Trump has seen sustained job growth and low unemployment rates.
"Well, it's not doing well where I come from and it’s not doing well in a lot of places around the country," Ryan, who announced his White House bid earlier this month, explained."*

Josh Paul, a former State Dept. Official who resigned from the Biden Administration, explained on PBS how there was a process called "Leahy Vetting" that would determine whether international units had committed gross violations of human rights, which would prohibit them from receiving weapons from the U.S. Paul said that that process never found an Israeli unit to be guilty of those violations.
Paul continues, saying that "...for 20 years, the provision of security assistance to Israel, and for longer than that, has not led to peace."

Hannah Holleman, assistant professor of sociology at Amherst College, joins Sam to discuss her piece in Monthly Review, 'No Empires, No Dust Bowls: Ecological Disasters and the Lessons of History.'
In this piece, Holleman examines the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, an ecological crisis that drove tens of thousands of farmers from their land. In tracking how capitalist accumulation, settler-colonialism, and white supremacy contributed to the ruinous erosion of soil, Holleman spotlights the social character of these crises, building her case that in order to confront the problems wrought by climate change, we must confront the imperial system of capital itself.

Newsmax TV’s GregKelly seems infatuated with former Representative Tulsi Gabbard after her exit from the Democratic Party. Kelly does on to suggest Gabbard as a future running mate for Donald Trump. The Majority Report crew discusses how Gabbard lacks charisma and the Right desperately wishes they had an AOC figure of their own.

Greg Kelly one of the funnier and I mean this just in terms of mocking him is fun a Newsmax host he at least stands out as being a more charismatic form of crazy than the talking heads that cycle through on a regular basis and guests, host that program. And it cannot be overstated former New York Police Department police chief Ray Kelly's son. Yes, this is his gig now and he decided to speak about Tulsi gabbard's exit from the Democratic party which no one could have seen coming after you know she guest hosted Tucker Carlson's show, after she has essentially dedicated her life to combating wokeness and outside of just the right wing positions that she held as a Democrat. Including her long history of being bigoted towards LGBTQ people, her Pro=yorture stance her prone Narendra Modi stance and on and on and on. The fact that she didn't support Medicare for all during her time in Congress until she decided to run for president and then back that backed off that as well all of those kinds of things her right-wing positions made it clear to us that yeah she's gonna do why I left the left soon enough...

Power and Deception: The Consulting Industry's Role in Shaping Modern Economy | Rosie Collington | TMR
Sam and Emma are joined by author Rosie Collington on her book "The Big Con: How the Consulting Industry Weakens Our Businesses, Infantilizes Our Governments, and Warps Our Economies".
In their groundbreaking book "The Big Con," authors Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington present a critical exploration of the consulting industry's opaque influence and its profound impact on contemporary business and government practices. The book underscores the symbiotic relationship between major consulting firms like McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Deloitte, and the way they shape management strategies, hindering innovation, evading accountability, and obstructing efforts to address climate change. The authors reveal the "Big Con," a manipulative game where consulting companies exploit weakened governments and profit-driven corporations, a phenomenon stemming from neoliberal and Third Way policies. This narrative thrives on the flaws of modern capitalism, perpetuating financialization, privatization, and environmental crises. By leveraging their extensive networks and presenting themselves as impartial experts, these consultancies maintain their power, ultimately weakening businesses, diminishing government efficacy, and distorting economies. Through compelling case studies like the HealthCare.gov debacle and inadequate pandemic responses, the authors illuminate the dire consequences of unchecked consultancy influence. "The Big Con" urges a transformative shift towards a new system fostering innovative collaboration between public and private sectors for the collective betterment of society. Backed by meticulous research, this book offers an enlightening journey into the core of today's economy and a compelling argument for meaningful change.

I want to Welcome you to the program Sarah Lamdan. She is a Professor of law at the City University of New York. and the author of data cartels the companies that control and monopolize our information. Sarah is welcome to the program. Thanks for having me. So let's start with the origin story of this book if it begins when you were a law librarian. and during the Trump Administration when people are starting to think about getting a little more conscious about what ice is up to. yeah yeah, so this book wasn't something that I intended to get into. as you said I was a law librarian at the City University of New York where now I'm a law professor. and I don't know if everybody knows this, but the main tools that lawyers, law students, legal scholars, and judges use to assess the law and do legal research are Lexis and Westlaw. they're the gold standard products for legal research. and as a law librarian, my main job was to teach people how to use these resources and to use these resources on behalf of lawyers and legal Scholars. so and this was and we should be clear just you know I had a little bit of experience with this in another life. This is where you go to find case law essentially. and so if you're wondering if there's that you there's a case you're looking at or you're writing a paper about whatever it is this is like like almost like the Encyclopedia of all the cases and and that have existed. yeah and this is the way you find you know citations essentially. yeah, and I would even go a step further and say that you know this is one of the resources that help make the law. I mean this is what judges use and what all of the legislators use. This is where our law comes from. and until 2017 I thought that these companies were just research companies. You know, like information platforms. you have a password you log in you do your little legal research. and I'd never given much thought to the companies behind the products right? that the products were great. They were robust. They had everything I needed. but in 2017 I saw an article about like you said, companies that were vying for contracts with ice to help ice build surveillance tools. and a surveillance operation. a digital surveillance operation. kind of the same stuff you saw the NSA using after 9/11.
