7/25 Teamsters Win? & Israel’s Authoritarianism Comes Home

July 25, 2023

It’s News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on a potential UPS-Teamsters deal, Israeli protests around the rollback of judicial powers, the DOJ v. Texas, record-breaking employment numbers across the US, Big Pharma’s response to Bernie’s new tact, increasing threats to IRS agents, and the introduction of Prager U into the Florida educational curriculum, also diving into Molly Nussbaum’s reflections of the SAG-AFTRA strike. After parsing a little deeper through the response by Israelis to the Knesset disempowering the judiciary, Sam and Emma discuss the pure inhumanity coming out of Texas, with increasing revelations around the violent treatment of migrants and refugees on and around the border. Next, Sam and Emma take on the massive economic and quality-of-life issues in the US, despite rising employment numbers, and why the extensive financialization of necessities – like housing and healthcare – essentially negates any potential benefits of capitalism, ensuring that any profitable problem isn’t solved, and any unprofitable solution is never employed.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters perfectly demonstrate the pure inhumanity of the right-wing as they discuss Florida’s new education requirements around slavery, Gerrit from VA dives into his perspective on insurance, and Charles from LA explores his perspective on Musk as a Tesla investor. Joshua from Chicago gives a book recommendation, Donald Trump perfectly exemplifies his near-religious faith in himself, and Sam and Emma parse through the horrific impact of Bill Gates on the US education system, plus, your calls and IMs!
