January 6, 2026

It’s News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report

On today’s program:

Sean Hannity attempts to coax Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump as a way to flatter him into installing her as Venezuela’s president.

Dr. Kristin Lyerly, OB-GYN and chair of the board of the Committee to Protect Public Health, joins the show to discuss RFK Jr.’s plan to reduce the number of vaccines recommended for newborns from 17 to 11.

in the Fun Half:

Sean Hannity tries to coax Maria Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump in hopes he’ll return the favor by installing her as president on Venezuela

Tucker Carlson and Cheryl Hines pretend to be confused on how vaccines are important to public health.

RFK, Jr’s claims there has been no research into links between autism and vaccines administered to newborns.

Trump comments on the dilemma he faces in wanting young people to be able to buy homes but also not wanting to devalue the net worth of current homeowners. Of course, we know he will not address this crisis in any meaningful way.

Stephen Miller and Jake Tapper debate Venezuela in a neo-con vs neo-liberal cage match.

Francesca Fiorentini floats the idea the invasion of Venezuela could have started with GOP mega donor and owner of Citgo, Paul Singer.

Chris Cuomo delivers a very confused monologue about Venezuela where he mashes several concepts together without any linearity or logic.

All that and more.

The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the US Senate or the House of Representatives.
