7/16 Senate Grills Trump Nominees; How Democrats Embraced Neoliberalism w/ Robert Kuttner

July 16, 2026

It’s Thursday and that means another Majority Report

On today’s program:

Trump’s new pick to lead the DNI, Jay Clayton, participates in the Republican humiliation ritual that all Trump nominees must suffer through: denying the results of the 2020 election. Jon Ossoff holds Clayton’s feet to the fire as Clayton tries to play cute and dumb but instead comes across as completely incompetent.

House Dems vote in favor of Thomas Massie’s proposal to cut off aid to Israel, showing a huge shift in the party over the last 5 years.

Robert Kuttner, co-Founder and co-editor of The American Prospect and author of Notes for Next Time: Surviving Tyranny, Redeeming America, joins Sam for a pre-taped interview about his memoir and how the Democratic party came to embrace neoliberalism.

In the Fun Half:

Todd Blanche has a Freudian slip at his confirmation hearing.

Joe Biden disrupts Jill Biden‘s book event to plug his own book.

Ben Shapiro says that Lindsey Graham was the best senator ever because of who hated him.

Mara Gay has to hold man-baby Donny Deutsch’s hands through a conversation about Israel and even still he loses his temper when faced with facts.

All that and more.

Tell your Senators to block the NDAA until it is stripped of the proposal to integrate U.S. and Israeli militaries.
