6/16 Trump vs Netanyahu, AI Brokenomics; USPS Union Contract Fight w/ Ed Zitron, Tyler Vasseur

June 16, 2026

It’s news day Tuesday on The Majority Report

On today’s program:

Donald Trump has harsh words for the over-the-top violence Israel is waging in Lebanon (and Palestine, though Trump is not concerned about that). History tells us that Trump’s words are exactly that, just words, and it’s almost guaranteed that the U.S. will continue to fund, arm, and support Israel’s genocidal colonial ambitions.

Ed Zitron, publisher of the Where’s Your Ed At? newsletter and host of the Better Offline podcast, joins the program to discuss the potential SpaceX IPO, OpenAI’s massive losses last year, and the AI bubble.

Tyler Vasseur, shop steward with the National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 9 in Minnesota and a member of the coordinating committee of Build a Fighting NALC, joins to provide insight and updates on the NALC’s contract negotiations with USPS.

In the Fun Half:

JD Vance is summoned to be the face of the humiliating memorandum of understanding between Iran and the U.S.

Reports show that the U.S. allowed Qatar to pay Iran for use of the Strait of Hormuz, meaning that all this war accomplished was enriching the government of Iran. The only people who suffered were the innocent civilians that Trump used as a justification for starting the war.

Pod Save America posts a compilation showing all of the Trump-linked sponsors of the cage fights on the White House lawn.

CBS News reports on Trump’s financial disclosure that shows he made over 3,600 stock trades in the first three months of the year. Most of the president’s trades involved companies that he has publicly promoted.

Fox News reports from the freshly renovated pool telling its viewers that it’s ‘American flag blue” when it’s clearly green with filth and algae.

The FBI is intimidating voting rights activists in Ohio. The GOP is scared of these midterms, and they are working on voter interference in swing states.

All that and more.
