6/17 Tech Billionaires Pushing ‘Abundance’ and Waging War on Democracy w/ Dylan Gyauch-Lewis, Gil Duran

June 17, 2026

It’s Hump Day on The Majority Report

On today’s program:

JD Vance talks to Megyn Kelly why the whole Memorandum of Understanding has not been released, citing certain cultural sensitivities in the region without explaining what that means.

The war hawks are not happy with the leaked sections of the Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Iran. Former Vice President Mike Pence says on CNN that the preliminary language “smacks of appeasement”. Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends shares the same sentiment as Pence but he refuses to criticize the president, insisting to his audience that this is Vance’s deal.

Dylan Gyauch-Lewis, senior researcher at the Revolving Door Project, joins to talk about her piece in The American Prospect: “New Documents Detail Nine-Figure, Silicon Valley–Funded Abundance Movement.”

Gil Duran, publisher of the Nerd Reich newsletter, joins to discuss John O’Farrell a former partner at Andreessen Horowitz who recently quit the VC firm over their prioritizing of AI hype over the common good. You can preorder Gil’s book “The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley’s Fascism and the War on Democracy” here.

In the Fun Half:

As Trump’s facilities sunset he is having a hard time keeping his inside thoughts inside. At the G7 conference in France, the president couldn’t stop talking about world leaders in an erotic fashion. Trump swooned over India’s PM Modi’s stunning beauty and recounted the time he met Egyptian president el-Sisi in a hotel and fell deeply in love.

Trump post another screed to Truth Social, announcing the cancelation of Jay Clayton‘s U.S Attorney nomination hearing today and the Bill Pulte will remain acting head of DNI.

Trump’s nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget, Hal Duncan, recites the script and refuses to admit that Joe Biden won the 2020 election but of course freely acknowledges that Trump won the 2024 election.

The GOP primary winner for senate in Georgia, Mike Collins, kicks off his campaign by attacking incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff for voting in support of trans rights, much to the ambivalence of the small audience.

DSA backed candidate for mayor of Washington D.C., Janeese Lewis George appears to be headed for victory in the democratic primary. On June 11, Trump threatened to have a federal takeover of D.C. is she wins and evidentially that was the best thing to happen to George’s campaign.

All that and more.
