5/14 Trump Brings Oligarch Posse to China; The Artificial Inevitability of AI w/ Alex Hanna

May 14, 2026

Download MP3

It’s an Emmajority Thursday on The Majority Report

On today’s program:

Trump reflects on his visit to China where he failed to find any support in his efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz. In fact, moments after Trump’s meeting with President Xi, Iran let Chinese ships pass through the Strait.

At a House Natural Resources Committee hearing with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Rep. Dave Min highlights how China is leaving the U.S. in the dust on renewable energy.

Alex Hanna joins Emma for a conversation about her book co-authored with Emily Bender, “The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want“.
In the Fun Half:
Politico publishes a paper-thin smear piece on Michigan candidate for Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, in which they question his qualifications as a “real” doctor.

All that and more.
