It is Thursday, August 20th, 20, 26. My name is Emma Vigeland, in for Sam Cedar, and this is the five-time award-winning majority report. We are broadcasting live steps from the industrially ravaged Gowanus Canal in the heartland of America, downtown Brooklyn, USA. On the program today, Andrea Gonzalez-Remirez, senior writer at the cut, joins us to discuss her reporting on Puerto Rico's water crisis.

And later in the show, David Morales, DSA candidate running for Mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, will be with us. Also on the program, the U.S. national debt tops $40 trillion for the first time, exacerbated by Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Trump hosts a summit with fellow crypto executive see what I did there.

imploring Congress to pass the pro-crypto-clarity act that would enrich everybody involved, except for regular people, the non-executives, you know, left holding the bag. The U.S. has been able to poke holes in Iran's oil shipping blockade, emboldening Trump to continue the war after the expiration of the MOU. We shall see.

Natalie Harp Trump's most emotionally stable aide apparently worked at the White House for over a year without applying for a routine security clearance and we know she can write letters she can't fill out of form

the FDA upgrades rather its recall of frozen blueberries from public's to the highest health risk level Israel launches a fake investigation into the murder of five-year-old Hin Rajab and the medics attempting to help her after leading an effort to docks and ruin the lives of students who were saying the same thing over two years ago.

A political poll finds that despite ISIS abuses being less publicized, half of Americans still think Trump's mass deportation agenda is too aggressive. The longtime publisher of the military, military newspaper, Stars and Stripes, is stepping down after the Pentagon installed an active-duty Navy captain at the paper. Their sources are military personnel. I wonder why the White House is getting involved here.

Gary, Indiana, still does not have power. It's been nine days, and they've been told that they're not getting it back until next week. Nithia Raman hires more. Morris Katz's fight agency in the LA mayoral race. Turns out some candidates still think that they're doing a good job despite the platinum thing. They tried to force him out of the consultant industry and doesn't look like it's going to go that well. The parasitic Democratic consultant class can squeal all they want. And lastly, Elon Musk's Super PAC is expected to be especially foeful.

on the Texas Senate race. Buckle up, folks. We're less than 90 days from the midterms. All this and more on today's majority report, also known as an M-M-M-M-jority report Thursday. Hello to Matt. Hello to Brian. Hello to the audience.

Welcome to the show. I'm still on Cloud 9 about this Angie Nixon victory. I cannot get over. how everything I learn about her, the more I learn about her. I was somewhat familiar, of course, because, you know, we cover a lot of races. But I hadn't done essentially a deep dive into her background. She wrote a children's book with her daughter, who was insecure about her natural hair and her young daughter. And the premise of the book is that her Afro puffs give her.

superpowers and then she started a community bookstore in the Jacksonville area as a way to protest the book bands in Florida and to give people a space to congregate in the community and read books. She's like extremely wholesome on top of being immensely talented as a communicator and as a politician and clearly as an organizer giving what we're seeing coming out about these results. I still don't think people are grappling with the enormity of this victory. Because regardless of November, it's going to be an uphill battle, no doubt. Florida has 1.5 million more registered Republicans than Democrats in the state. But you got like...

There's also the weakness of the Democratic Party that was trying to get Vindman across, despite, I mean, being a horrible candidate completely out of touch with actual voters. I mean, to an frankly insulting. degree to raise so much money and get so little traction. And now you have party talking about how, Angie Nixon needs to like be careful what she says about forum policy, which we know what that means. Like, can the party get behind Angie and support her to do this?

That's the big question I have. I'm glad you brought a Vindman because it's actually pretty astonishing when you look at how that campaign was run. We've talked about this, but he outraised her 16 to 1, and she still won by 12 points, Nixon spent less than $60,000 on ads and Vindman spent more than $2 million on advertisements. Some people paid for a house from that.

Yeah. Consultants, the same people that will tell you that the candidate like her is not going to stand a fighting chance in a general election. They keep putting up these kinds of Republican-like candidates who get trounced, and then they continuously tell you that they're the ones that know best. No, no, no, your pocketbook knows best.

We get it. You're making a lot of commission off of those ad buys. But it's not translating to results. This is a parasitic class that is selling our democracy down the river for their own enrichment. Vinman Axios reported was apparently so arrogant that he literally laughed at Angie Nixon behind the scenes. Who's laughing now? his wife was posting these screeds about her on social media that are immensely racist and classists. This had me boiling last night.

I don't know why, I guess, just because these people are carpetbaggers. They didn't even move, live in Florida until 2023. Phil, they're entitled to a Senate seat nomination, essentially, a Democratic nomination. And all Vindman seems to care about when you look into his history, is yes, he was an impeachment witness because he witnessed Trump trying to pressure Zelensky into investigating Joe Biden. And then what he did with the rest of his, like, public life was advocating for more private military contracts in Ukraine, which anybody in the Democratic Party should be opposed to

on principle the privatization of warfare. But that's what his entry, you know, entry into politics. was defined by a closeness with military contractors and actually getting into that business himself. And then his wife posts things like this all the time about Angie Nixon. If your campaign with events with less than 20 people devolve into you making personal attacks on your opponent, you are a shitty human. I know you're checking my page. And yes, I am talking about you, but I won't say your name because you're not worth it. Also, buy some professional clothes for the love of everything. That includes shoes. That's,

the wife of Vinman speaking about Angie Nixon. And I'll just pre- In a classic and racist way about a lawmaker who is in a state doing community work constantly in a state that like Texas only has part-time state representative, the work on the state in the state house, sorry, representative government is what I'm trying to say, is only part-time and they pay them less than 30K. And she's like making some like, you know, bitchy argument about her shoes.

And if she does come back and say, well, actually, I wasn't talking about Angie Nixon's. Like, who are you talking about? It's pretty unprofessional as somebody who is so close to a campaign to be talking about anybody like this. But of course, she was talking about Nixon. Yeah. And as an aside, the reason that in these red states, state lawmakers

make so little is because it makes them more easily corruptible by private interest. Texas does the same thing. Yep, you need a daddy. Yep. So it really was an incredible amount of arrogance and Vindman is particularly

pretty loathsome as we learn more and more about him. So point being the campaign that Angie Nixon is about to run the worst case scenario is that she's not victorious but the campaign builds an organizing infrastructure that's going to pay dividends in the future. That's actually worth fighting for it.

Exactly. So we're in really good a really good scenario right now regardless of the outcome. Of course, we want her to have this massive upset, but she's shown this town as an organizer, and I go back to 2018.

The same cycle where Andrew Gillum, another progressive candidate who mobilized black voters in Florida, lost to Ron DeSantis in that gubernatorial race by less than half a percentage point. In the state just north, in Georgia, there was a candidate named Stacey Abrams who ran

in that cycle, and lost narrowly to Brian Kemp. Abrams's politics are nowhere near as good as Nixon's. But two years later, Georgia elected two Democratic senators. So it isn't just that Nixon won. It's how she won with organizing and an ideology that, you know, Abrams was organizing in Georgia, but doesn't have the politics of Nixon. I compare it just to say that this is how.

things start to change with organizing in the South when it looks like it's so insurmountable because Nixon's victory ran up the numbers here in the panhandle and then the northern part of the state. That's how she won here, which has a large black population, 70 to 80 percent in some areas here. And the Washington Post did this analysis. Here's Ens Morse's thread on it. Angie Nixon seems to have activated a voter base that looks pretty different from other Democratic Socialists. For one, Nixon did best in the least college educated counties in Florida. She won them by 30 points. This is not typical across the country. So she's mobilizing an entirely different constituency in Florida, which is really, really exciting. It's unheard of. And you know,

I would love and do welcome her as Democratic Socialist. She's just a great organizer. And she joined DSA like this summer because quietly. because they align on a lot of certain things and DSA is out there doing stuff. But I don't think it was like the DSA brand that led to this. I think part of it is to Angie Nixon herself. And I think the DSA, this is a moment that the DSA could really learn from. And if Nixon, like, I mean, this is such a great opportunity and an important like building moment for, I think, socialists and progressives is this campaign. Yep.

I couldn't agree with you more. And so like these other DSA, candidates. She did immensely well with younger voters, but there was this added piece of how she was able to really activate the black population in the northern part of the state, as well as college towns and metropolitan centers like in Orlando and had a surprising amount of success in Miami-Dade. She did less well in predominantly black areas of southern Florida, but that's also because that's where the gerrymandering and the redistricting has been the most acerbic.

And so, you know, and Nixon herself staged a sit-in at DeSantis' office a year or so ago, and she was arrested. She's going to be on trial next month for doing that because there's actually immense fury with these, with Southern black voters right now about these efforts to disenfranchise them. Of course there are. Shouldn't there be like two dozen articles right now about how the moderate faction of the Democratic Party just can't win over black voters in the South, huh?

Yeah. I mean, if any of that stuff was sincere and not just using anything available to attack the left, you might. I'd also just say, you mentioned Miami, her great performance there. And also, Oliver Larkin got 44% of the vote in Miami. Bernie Sanders in 2016 only got 25%. Things are changing. Things are changing.

And I saw that Oliver Larkin is under consideration for national DSA spokesperson. person. That could be a very interesting role for him. I would be in favor of that. But speaking of these bad faith attacks on the left, we'll do two of them here and give you an example of how the national mainstream corporate press is responding to Angie Nixon's victory here. Here's Gail King of Barry Weiss's CBS with their immensely impressive editorial standards asking Angie Nixon the number one issue that is going to impact Floridians and their daily lives. You've campaigned with Congresswoman Rashida Talib, Mr. Piker. Do you want to see them on

the campaign trail with you as well? So I have not campaigned with Mr. Pikes. That is, the way she just with no comma just puts, says Hassam Piker after someone she actually campaign with, Gail King, no, she's lying. Yeah. I mean, well, she gets corrected at one point. And she says she doesn't, Angie's trying to kind of get back to the issues and say, we'll play it shortly. But if you're watching on YouTube, notice the sarcastic face that Gail King makes when she tries to follow up a second time to this. This is, this is Barry Weiss and what the directive is from the top telling all these anchors to do this kind of thing. Disgraceful. Yeah.

You've campaigned with Congresswoman Rashida Talib, Mr. Piker. Do you want to see them on the campaign trail with you as well? So I have not campaigned with Mr. Piker, not sure where that information came from. I have campaigned with Congresswoman Rashida Taleb. And so she is someone who wants the same things that I want to make sure that government is working for people and not against it. And so I'll continue to do the same thing. But I have not campaigned with Mr. Piker at all. Not sure where they came from.

All right. My apologies. I thought that you had. My apologies about that. Why? Would you want him to campaign with you? I don't really know who Mr. Piker is. I've heard about him. And so... Pause and pause about it. Go back. Go back. Just a little bit.

Look at her face there. How she even feels the... Look, she's acting indignant. You just got it wrong, girlfriend. You just said that she campaigned with Hassan Piker declaratively, and she didn't. She corrected you. And then she said, he said, I don't really know much about him. And Gail King's like, Really? Really? How do you...

It's all we've been talking about here at CBS for about three months now. Yeah, we obviously know everything about Hassan Piker, and it's like at the top of every single morning email blast that our psychotic boss sends us, but you don't know who that is? I just... You have a Mossad life tracker of Hassan's whereabouts right in our newsroom. It would be really, really nice if our national press felt that they had some sort of responsibility to the public to ask a candidate for

Senate a question about what would actually impact the lives of the Floridians, the millions of people that she would be representing instead of this constant fixation on Hassan Piker. I'm not trying to clutch my pearls here and talk about the role of the press and the free society in this highfalutin way. But God, don't you have any sense of public duty to talk about issues that impact the public when we're talking about politics? I mean, the reason people watch our show is because the answer is no. Like, television news should all be flushed down the drain. The press, the actual print press, it's under similar capitalist pressures and whatever

by this and imperial pressures, but nothing ever gets done for good on TV news. It's a big distraction machine. It always has been. And so, I don't know who he is. I said, I don't really. know who he is personally or anything like that. I am actually focused on Florida and making sure that I'm talking to voters here to uplift their needs and their concerns.

And so that's what my focus is going to be over the next 76 days. She comes off like a normal person. Gail King comes off like somebody who's asking a question that is not relevant to anybody's day-to-day life. You don't think Sharia law is relevant to Floridians. You're right. Get your head in the game. It's because I'm such a squishy liberal and I'm way too naive that I can't see the threat of Sharia law right behind us right now.

Did you hear what he said about 9-11, a half decade ago on a Twitch stream? I think I may have heard that soundbite once or twice. Fox News, indistinguishable. Let's turn over to what Sean Hannity was freaking out about last night. This is my favorite bit is when Fox News reads a platform that's supposed to be scary. I could do 10,000. of these. And it sounds phenomenal, right? But here is Sean Hannity trying to make his geriatric audience shit their diapers a second time that evening. Make no mistake. Angie Nixon is no

different than socialist everywhere. She is pushing for single-payer government health care, abolishing private health insurance, national price controls on rent. What about the landlords that have a mortgage to pay? Amnesty for illegals, abolishing ice. universal guaranteed government jobs and salary and statehood for advice for the landlords that i have a mortgage to pay i get a job yeah yeah exactly exactly let's let's go a little bit more universal guaranteed government jobs and salary and statehood for dc porto rico universal government child care as if indoctrination in state run schools isn't bad enough that was also my set a runner up for the the part of that clip was him essentially saying that free

childcare and daycare would be in just as indoctrinating as public schools. Well, they'll trans the kids. Obviously, you gotta get them started early in the daycare. It's not enough to start the transition at age five when they go into kindergarten. We need to be guaranteeing the transing starting at age three. Well, it's like a circumcision. It's a lot less traumatic, the younger you do it. Won't somebody think of the landlord that needs your rent to pay the mortgage of the property that he's paying? It's funny you bring that up.

It's funny you bring that up. Because I think Sean Hannity might have some concerns about landlords that aren't necessarily born out of empathy for them. He didn't see a struggling landlord on the street going, how can I pay my mortgage? And Hannity didn't go, you know, this is not what the American dream is all about. You'll be shocked to hear this. This is an eight-year-old article. Thanks Michael Cohen for revealing this to the public. Cohen sheds light on Sean Hannity's

property empire, huh? Hannity's chosen investment strategy is confirmed by thousands of pages of public records reviewed by The Guardian, which detail a real estate portfolio of remarkable scale that has not been previously reported. The records link Hannity to a group of shell companies that spent

at least $90 million on more than 870 homes in seven states over the past decade. The properties range from luxurious mansions to rentals for low-income families. I'm sure he's treating them phenomenally. Hannity is the hidden owner behind some of the shell companies, and his attorney did not dispute that he owns all of them. Dozens of the properties were bought at a discount in 2013 after banks foreclosed on their previous owners for defaulting on mortgages.

Before and after then, Hannity sharply criticized Barack Obama for the U.S. foreclosure rate. In January 2016, Hannity said there were, quote, millions more Americans suffering under this president, partly because of foreclosures. What about the landlords that have a mortgage to pay? Which, by the way, you cut it off right before we find out that he amassed this property collection with support from HUD. Oh, with Ben Carson, our friend. God. He's a media member who's got HUD helping him build a property empire, and he's speaking at Lindsay Graham's funeral. And also a property empire that's in secret so that the public doesn't know about it.

And also is the most sycophantic anchor on television towards a real estate mogul president who is enriching himself in a shady way in the exact same manner. I don't know if he's a sycophant as he is an accomplice. That's probably a more appropriate label. Yeah. Oh, what about the landlords that have a mortgage to pay? Don't you have any empathy, honestly. He wants to abolish private insurance, you know, that thing you love to deal with all the time? the words of Chris Rob, Scott, apologies.

Yeah. Come on, Scott. That's how he hid his massive real estate holdings. He put it under the Scott suit in it. In a moment, we are going to be speaking to Andrew Gonzalez Ramirez of the Cut to talk about her reporting

on Puerto Rico's water crisis, rolling emergency there. But first, a word from one of our sponsors. I would like to thank Zoc Doc for sponsors today's episode. Zock doc is how I found my dentist. Who I'm seeing next week. And I'm not dreading it like I had previously

because I found a dentist that I think actually, you know, is good. And I found him through Zock. I've been going to him for years. But Zock has also been helpful for Sam in an emergency situation where he had an issue with his crown and he wasn't here in New York so he couldn't go to his regular dentist. He found someone to take care of it right away. and he was able to do so on Zoc Doc,

because especially in a situation like that, cold calling dentist's office and things like that, it's just a nightmare. But Zock Doc takes all of the frustrating parts of the, you know, patient experience out of the equation. ZockDocs lets you search and compare local in-network doctors. Zocdox's website has tons of reviews from real patients and detailed doctor profiles

to help you choose the right one. See actual. appointment openings and click to instantly book a visit. Appointments happen fast, usually within 24 to 72 hours, and you can even score same-day appointments. And it's easy to see. They have this interface with a calendar where you can look at which appointments are available, as I just said, which doctors are in network.

And then, boom, you're able to make an appointment and you don't have to play phone tag with the doctor's office or deal with them on the phone, or you might not even be dealing with them on the phone. you're dealing with some AI robot who's not directing you in the correct way. Zock-Doc takes out that middleman experience, essentially, and allows you to book directly and see clearly what appointments are available. Your health matters and taking care of yourself should not be complicated. Find and book the right doctor with Zockdoc.

Head to Zocdoch.com slash majority to get started and check that appointment off your to-do list. that's ZOCDOC.com slash majority. ZOCDOC.com slash majority. We will put a link down below in the video and episode descriptions and at majority. Dot FM. Quick break and when we come back, we are going to be joined by Andrea Gonzalez Ramirez. We are back and we are joined now by Andrea Gonzalez Ramirez, senior writer at the Cut, here to discuss her piece what you need to know about Puerto Rico's water crisis.

Andrea, thanks so much for coming on the show today. Thank you for having me. Of course. So let's start really big picture here. What is happening in Puerto Rico? It's been a multi-week, months-long water crisis and shortage. What do people need to know about what's happening with the water supply in Puerto Rico? Yeah. So we're currently under a severe drought.

I think about 33% of the island right now has that designation. and as a result, the Gonzalez-Colonelan administration locally decided to implement this state of emergency in the island. Basically rationing water for about 180,000 household in about seven towns. It's operating under like a 48-hour switch-off where you have water for 48 hours and then you're without water for 48 more.

And there's concerns that they could extend to the rest of the island. And the problem is that even though the administration is saying that this is due to this drought, a lot of people in Puerto Rico have been without water for months now due to pipes malfunctioning, pipes breaking, and a lot of infrastructure issues that have been worsening over time in Puerto Rico, unfortunately. The infrastructure issues are the result of U.S. colonial neglect. I mean, there's really no other way to describe it, I would imagine, right? And it goes back years, is my understanding.

Where do you trace the beginning of the infrastructure issues that are currently exacerbating this water crisis? Yeah, I think the infrastructure issues at this point have existed for decades, right? But what really changed over the last decade specifically is that we go declare bankruptcy. And then, you know, the Obama administration and the Republican Congress in 2016 decided to implement this fiscal control board. that basically oversees all the financial decisions of the government locally. The members of this fiscal control board are not elected by the people of Puerto Rico. They're appointed by the federal government, right? And their goal is not to stabilize the economy for the people.

The goal is to pay back creditors. And what that has meant is that a lot of times, like, a lot of money is being funneled towards, like, things that benefit discreditors rather than, like, investing in the infrastructure of the island. And we've seen this with the recurring power blackouts in the island after they privatized the electric system there. And now we're seeing something similar with the water. But we've also seen, like, you know, like the field of education has been decimated. A lot of public schools have been closing the University of Puerto Rico, which is one of the oldest in the Caribbean. And I'm an alumni from and serves a lot of people on the island.

It has also seen a lot of cuts due to the decisions of the fiscal control board. The fiscal control board is We've talked about the fiscal control board a lot on this show But I would love if you could give people a reminder about it a little bit more than, you know, You just touched on it there But its role in austerity politics essentially in Puerto Rico Yeah, so we have, I think it's about nine members And as I said, they're not elected officials, right?

Like they're appointed by the federal government, both President Obama and President Trump have appointed members, I do not remember if President Biden had a chance as well. And as I said, like, they are basically overseeing any financial decision that the government makes, like, needs approval from the fiscal control board. And that extends to, as I said, like a lot of areas that impact the day-to-day life of people in Puerto Rico. So where would you say people are experiencing it most acutely? Is it in the more rural areas of the state?

Like what is a day-to-day situation like for somebody in Puerto Rico right now who has to deal with this water shortage? Yeah. So the Rayshani policy is just established in these seven towns and like what we call the San Juan metro area, right? So, like, all the towns are around the capital. But this is an issue that, like, a lot of all our communities across the island have been struggling with for a long time. For my story, I spoke with someone who's been tracking, you know, like the failures in her community for the past five years. And she's seen the increment of, like, 22 days without water in 2021 to, like, 190-something this year alone, and she's still having to pay for those services, right?

And we see that, like, in code, definitely rural communities across the island, in the southern part of the island, that tends to be a little bit more dry than the north. Like, we see a lot of these issues, too. And, you know, it's really disruptive, and it's no way to live. You know, like, it's not only an issue of comfort. It's an issue of, like, public health, right? it's an issue of people having to pay for a service that they're not getting. And yeah, people having to pay for a service that they're not getting

and having to rely on their neighbors in many ways as well. I think I already know the answer to this question, but there are a lot of resorts in Puerto Rico. Are they subjected to any of these restrictions for, you know, wealthy tourists that want to come in for a beach vacation? Yeah. So in Puerto Rico, you don't have resorts. Like, you would have them in, like, the Dominican Republic or Mexico where they're, like,

fully private because public beaches in Puerto Rico are public by law. But that being said, we do have, like, the ton of hotels, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, got you. Like, a ton of, like, Airbnb stride. And they definitely are not fully adhering to this water policies, I think. There's been a lot of complaints online and also, like, people I spoke. with both in a professional capacity and a personal capacity, who've seen, you know, like they're watering the lawn of, like, their cold course

and, like, this private, gated community that also happens to have a hotel in it, right? And that typically serves people who are not worried, who are coming into the island to take advantage of its tax breaks. And it's obviously, like, a really frustrating environment. And what we're seeing and, like, what a lot of people fear is that we're going to have this kind of, like, two tiered system in the island where like, you know, locals are going to be constantly struggling and like having to pay exorbitant amount of money for their power and water and other services that don't fully operate. And then you have like really wealthy people who are

barely paying taxes and who still have access to a lot of the services. And how much does this infrastructural neglect both, you know, in water, but also I think, you know, you're mentioning, of course, the power grid in Puerto Rico. How much is that paired with a, like, almost a deliberate policy of neglect that's also allowed for really a lot of displacement in recent years of native Puerto Ricans. There have been, you know, crypto companies that have poured into the island. There's that douchebag Jake Paul or whichever Paul, right, that bought up a bunch

of stuff. Both. Okay, I can never remember who's who. I mean, there's a lot of West, you know, Americans essentially that are buying up land in Puerto Rico. Do you see that as a coincidence with this kind of

neglect or as a part of an overall story? I think it's definitely part of an overall story, right? Like, I think people right are really frustrated with the two majority parties in the island. The way that politics work in Puerto Rico is a little bit different. People are not really Republicans or Democrats. You have the pro-statehood party, the pro-commonwealth,

and then a bunch of smaller parties, some of which are pro-independence. And the two majority ones are the pro-stayhood and the pro-commonwealth parties. And I think people blame both for like this years and years and years of neglect, also years of like corruption, years of passion, years of passion, years of passing these policies that almost hit up this desire to have a Puerto Rico without Puerto Ricans, right? And I think it is kind of like intentional in a way, right? Just to see what gets prioritized in the island right now. For example, there's this huge project that they're building in the town of Cabo Rojo.

This is like the southern west part of the island. And it's like this massive luxury resort and private community. that advocates have said, you know, can cause a lot of like environmental issues that can exacerbate the water crisis in some parts of the region. And the government just like allowed this massive project that has like a lot of opposition and all of concerns to be approved, right? And when you see that type of thing, again, like there's this sense that like the people of Puerto Rico are like second class citizens for the U.S. government, but also like within their own island, like they're not the priority for. the current administration or private, like a past administration, I'd rather say. Talk a little bit then about statehood versus commonwealth as a, you know, the, the political divide in Puerto Rico. How are those battle lines drawn? What are the arguments that are made on

either side? Because here in the U.S., at the very least, there is a small amount of talk about Puerto statehood, but that also begs the question, like, do Puerto Rican people want sovereignty? And perhaps that should be respected instead of statehood, for example. Yeah. So at the risk of going a little bit into a history lesson, Puerto Rico has been a colony of the United States since 1898. It became a Commonwealth in 1952, which basically is like a way to formalize the colony, right? Like Puerto Rico is subjected to a lot of federal laws, right?

But at the same time, we don't have like full citizenship representation. For example, Puerto Ricans like, you know, cannot vote in federal elections. They cannot vote for president unless they move stateside. They don't have voting representation in Congress. There's only a non-voting member, which obviously limits the amount of impact they could have. But basically, like, we have this sense for like, decades and decades and decades now, that, you know, statehood would be like the perfect solution. And then people are like, well, actually, the Commonwealth is pretty good.

And then you have like a very small contingent of pro independence people. And I want to make the point that the pro independence movement in Puerto Rico was really squashed during the 20th century through like intervention from the federal government as well as the local government. So now you have like a lot of people, especially in my generation and younger who grew up knowing like this colonized Puerto Rico and being told, right, like independence means you're going to become like a thorough world country. And now they're kind of like realizing while, you know, the island is broke. We don't have reliable power. We don't have reliable water. Our families are leaving. I'm one of the people who left, right? We are,

our services are being shut down. Our health care system is scrambling. What do you mean? that if we have independence, we could become like a troubled country because this feels very much like those conditions. And I think that, you know, the status question is very simplified in U.S. conversations. There's this sense that Puerto Ricans, because they have U.S. citizenship, they are American. I would argue that's not accurate at all. Like English is not our first language. We have our own history, our own traditions, our own culture that's very different. to you what you would think as mainstream

US culture, right? We are colonized subjects. And I think that a lot of people are kind of like struggling with the reality of that now and trying to figure out what the future looks like. And as we've

talked about in other contexts of colonialism and our, you know, our imperialism saying, say coming home to ruse in the continental U.S. with ice, right? Being an outgrowth of DHS. I mean, what we're seeing right now in Gary, Indiana, we're there without power

for nine straight days. It's going to be close to 14 days by the time that power is restored. Once they test out these kind of politics of neglect on colonial subjects, it's easier

to do so here in the United States, right? It's a very it's about what can you get away with? with these politics of neglect and extraction. And people here in the U.S. are obviously not immune to that experience as well. I think you're absolutely right. And I think that there is the Supreme Court cases from the early 20th century, known as the insular cases.

And one of them says that Puerto Rico belongs to, but it's not part of the U.S., right? And I think that has allowed the federal government to make a lot of policy decisions over the past 120-some years that they do test out in the island and some of the other colonies that the U.S. still holds. And then it's easier to kind of like implement that for, you know, your full like citizenship rights type of person here in the U.S. And we're seeing a lot of things, right, of like what gets prioritized in the island. There's talks about opening data centers, right?

even though, again, there's not reliable power in the island. We're having a lot of issues with the water. And I think we're seeing a lot of like the same things that have impacted Puerto Ricans, as you said, like impact people's stateside as well. Well, I really appreciate your time today and giving us an update on what's happening with Puerto Rico's water. Andrea Gonzalez-Ramirez, you can read her work over at the cut. And also we will put a link to this particular piece down below wherever. where people are listening to or watching this.

Thanks so much for coming on the show today. Really appreciate it. Thank you so much, I want. Have a good one. You too. Quick break, and when we come back, we'll be joined by state representative, David Morales, who is running for mayor of Providence, Rhode Island.

And could this be the next lefty mayor that we have in New York? Not in New York. In New York's more. Greater New York. Greater New York. I'm a I am a New York City Zionist. We'll be right back after this break. We are back and we are joined now by State Representative David Morales, who is running for mayor of Providence Road Island, which is a great town.

I was just there like a week or so ago having dinner because I was up in the Massachusetts area for a little while. Love Providence. David, thanks so much for coming on the show today. Absolutely, Emma. Thank you again for the invitation. Yeah, of course. You actually came highly recommended by our mutual friend, Jamal Bowman, who is campaigning with you right now.

He told me, you're the real deal. Got to have David Morales on. Excited to talk to you. Talk about campaigning with Jamal Bowman and what the focus has been with you guys going. around Providence, and early voting, by the way, starts today. So it's been a wonderful experience I have Congressman Jamal Bowman with us here in Providence. He was with us back in February when he initially endorsed our campaign, joined us for a press

conference as we spoke about the issues most important to our neighbors, which is the fact that it's gone so expensive to live in Providence. We spoke about the importance of having rent stabilization in place and protecting our immigrant neighbors using every tool that we have at our disposal. And for someone like Congressman Jamal Bowman, who spent years on the front lines fighting the good fight in Congress. It has meant so much to have a national validator such as himself who's able to get out there on the streets, motivate our volunteers, but also connect with our neighbors in Providence, many of whom recognize him. So whenever we're out, whether it is in a public space,

going to a grocery store, going to a coffee shop to talk with neighbors about the election, almost immediately they'll ask, is that Jamal Bowman? So it's been very lovely to see that connection, and I'm just so grateful to have him with us and for him to be a part of this team and be with us in this final stretch as we get ready for election. day on September 9th. September 9th, that's the date. Early voting has started. Talk a bit about your opponent. You're challenging an incumbent who vetoed rent stabilization. I know that rent stabilization is a big part of your platform. Why challenge this incumbent

besides the obvious of this being the kind of mayor that would veto rent stabilization? So unfortunately, Providence is now considered to be the least affordable city in America for renters. when you look at the gap that exists between rents and what working people in our city earn. Yet there has been a lack of urgency that's come from the mayor's office to address this crisis. The fact that he has taken tens of thousands of dollars from corporate real estate interests, it was no surprise that he vetoed rent stabilization. And that speaks to just how out of touch he is with the needs of working people in profits and why we have a desire for real progressive change.

And it's not just about rent stabilization as much as also relates to how we protect our immigrant community. Last summer, we had a frightening situation where our local police department was caught cooperating with ICE, which is in violation of our city's sanctuary laws. And instead of holding anyone accountable, the mayor dismissed any external investigation that had taken place. And so this just speaks to the volume and the lack of care, whether it's tenants or immigrant community that feels abandoned by City Hall. And over the last 11 months, we've been building a strong grassroots campaign focused on meeting the needs of all our neighbors, making sure that they can continue to call Providence home and feel safe doing so.

What would you do then as mayor to oppose ICE and to make sure that, say, local police are not collaborating with ICE as a way to protect members of the community? Well, for starters, we'll make sure to hold any local law enforcement officer accountable if there is a case where they're caught collaborating with ICE. We'll also make sure that alongside community advocates, we're gathering evidence when our sanctuary city laws are actively being broken, when the rights of our neighbors are being violated because a warrant is not presented, and we'll work with the city solicitor's office to put forward legal charges against the Department of Homeland Security and fascist ICE agents that are doing

so much to harm our neighbors, because right now the status quo of just allowing ice to terrorize our neighbors in Providence cannot continue. And we need to see real leadership coming out of City Hall to demonstrate that there will in fact be consequences and accountability if our immigrant neighbors are being hurt and harmed. What are the conditions in Providence that you would say are, you know, most urgent for you to address as mayor outside of, of course, the unaffordability and rent and getting rent stabilization on the books and protecting immigrant neighbors? Like, what makes Providence unique in its challenges right now as a city that's dealing with unaffordability, perhaps more acutely than other parts of the country, but similar, what makes Providence's

problems distinct here? Unfortunately, we have an ongoing issue where our Providence Public Schools for decades have been underfunded and have not received the proper resources that they need for our students to succeed. And that's why I've been constantly talking about the needs. to reform our property tax system. So we have large corporate polluters that dominate our waterfront contribute more to our city's budget. So we have the resources to further invest in our Providence public schools. Right now, over 30% of the land in the city of Providence is owned by a private university. So between Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence College, and Johnson and Wales, we need to have a more fair and stabilized agreement where our private

universities are contributing further to the success of not just our city but to our province public schools as well and so i'm focused on making sure that we reach a more fair and balanced agreement that is going to support our schools and that is something that the current mayor has just refused to do and a lot of that just ties back to basics around campaign finance and who he takes money from um he takes money from real estate interests right in these landlord groups uh is my understanding that's a big part of why he's on the opposite side of these issues around affordability with housing. How about transit? I know that you've been a big advocate for public transit.

Where do you differ from the incumbent on that particular issue? When it comes to public transportation, it has not been treated as a public good in the state of Rhode Island and within the city of Providence for years. As a state legislator, I have been fighting against any cuts that have been proposed by the governor's office. right now locally here in Providence, there is a desire to move our main transit hub away from downtown into a separate location. And that has caused a lot of concern for those who actually use the bus. And the fact that many community members are sick and tired of politicians telling them what is best for them, as opposed to actually engaging thoughtfully with the community to receive feedback, solicit questions, and thereafter come to a decision where those who actually

use public transportation, recognize that they had a say and an influence over the final project, whereas right now they're just trying to ram the project through. Wait, so why would they move? So downtown Providence, there's like a little mall area. There are places to eat. There's the Amtrak train station. And then there's the bus station right there. It's all kind of very convenient in one area. What is the, what would be the impetus to move the bus station to a different part of the city? I don't understand. Real estate. if you look at where our central bus station is located, that is considered quote-unquote prime real estate, which many private developers have been pushing for the city to relocate the bus hub for the purposes of thereafter having the city sell.

What is otherwise such valuable land over to developers? And unfortunately, it may result in luxury apartments being developed thereafter. It's, that seems just knowing a little bit about that area, It's so stupid if you're thinking about it from a public usage perspective, unless you have a corrupting interest there, it makes zero sense to move from that area. So I think that illustrates it quite clearly. You know, you're not endorsed by a DSA. I know that you are a Democratic socialist. Can you talk about why that's the case?

and, you know, what your feeling is about DSA going forward as an organizing force in politics? Like many Democratic socialists, I believe in the basic principles of fairness, the fact that we should have an economy designed for working people, not corporations, ensuring that basic needs, whether it's health care, public education, are granted as human rights. And I've been very proud by the fact that we've ran our campaign based on these principles and that it's resonating with so many working people and families and immigrants all across province. And I believe that what we are seen at the national scale is further demonstration that when DSA candidates step up and engage with community members, they win.

They're winning because these ideas are popular and because it demonstrates as well an opportunity for us to be able to actually govern the same way we have seen successfully with Zoran Mamdani out in New York City where he has delivered within the first several months of his term. Lastly, what have you noticed in your time? You got elected to state government in 2020, I believe. What have you noticed in your time since then about how the public has responded to socialism versus maybe, say, you know, six years ago? Yeah, I would certainly say that many community members are recognizing the difference

between politicians, elected officials, and candidates that take corporate money and those that do not. They are able to demonstrate and see firsthand how someone who may identify as a Democratic socialist is always going to fight for the needs of working people and prioritize that in each and every single decision that is made, whether it's a legislative vote, whether it's advocating for a budget item, and above all, also being able to have the moral clarity to speak out around issues like the genocide that is happening in Gaza. Right now, I'm going up against an opponent who has denied a genocide happening in Gaza, but has even gone as far is donating directly to A-PAC himself.

Wow. I did not know that. So making money off the taxpayers and then sending that money in your personal capacity to the genocide lobby, that's what we're looking at here with your opponent? You can't make it up. You cannot make it up. And I will share that right now within the city of Providence, we've just become the first city in the United States to have a ballot initiative in November around divesting local funds away.

from any countries engaging directly in genocide. Love it. And the mayor, without any surprise, is actively opposing it. I've been very proud to come out and endorse that ballot initiative, and I'm encouraging many of my supporters and community members around Providence to vote yes when the time comes in November. Because, again, it's about having that level of moral clarity. I just love the concept of giving taxpayer money back to APEC.

Right? Just absolutely incredible. Anyway, David Morales, how can people support your campaign in these final crucial weeks? So we're down to the last 20 days of this campaign. And right now, I would encourage all community members to visit David Morales, pvD.com. And if you are able to make a contribution to support our grassroots campaign, that would mean a ton as we are currently being outspent 13 to 1. Our opponent has already spent over a million dollars strictly on attack ads,

against us. And they're trying to fearmonger. The same playbook that we saw from Andrew Cuomo in New York City, the same playbook that we've seen the establishment use is trying to vilify and cause fear and panic among our neighbors. Thankfully, our neighbors aren't falling for it, but nonetheless, we still need to have the resources in order to be able to put out our message into the universe. So a contribution of $5, $10, $27 goes such a long way. well uh we will put a link uh to that down below in the video and episode description david morales thanks so much for your time today really appreciate it thank you again i want take good care thanks you as well best of luck with that folks we're going to wrap up the free part of this program and head into the fun half where we will have a ball we'll have some fun um my uh uh quick plug here is if you are in southern california you're in L.A.

Also, we had a Left Reckoning that you can watch now talking about Texas, this THC band mess that has the Republican sort of split with some having the sort of 1980s attitude towards THC and people like Kim Pexton say, like, I don't know what you're even talking about. And also Silicon Valley capitalist understanding that maybe it was better when they were riding both

horses and pretending that they were center and could work with Democrats instead of putting all their eggs into the Elon Musk basket and now everyone hates them. So yeah, check that out at patreon.com. This left reckoning if you want our Sunday show. All right, folks. as a reminder this show relies on your support join the majority report.com when you join you get access to the fun half you get the podcast ad free as well and you get to i.m the show and we will read your i.m's on air jersey tom like one of these says emma how did you not do your due diligence and ask the candidate if he condemns hasan piker I really I really dropped the ball there I got to go back to journalism school, the one I never went to. You're campaigning with Jamal Bowman, Mr. Piker.

Like, I don't know how, you know when you see somebody, they swipe their card for the Metro or the MTA, but then somebody tries to get in on the same sort of thing. Yes, yes. That's what you try to do with, like, okay, you campaign where she did leave Mr. Piker is like the person that's trailing. Right, right, right. No, she didn't campaign with him. Why do you?

But, I mean, that's how, that's how lazy they are. That's how they have already predetermined. in their smear job and narrative and their backfilling it. They just assume that he has. We have politicians that are marching through New York City streets with literal war criminals from Israel.

Like if we're going to do, like Hassan's good. Those people are actually bad. Like this idea we have like, oh, you have six degrees of Kevin Bacon from Hassan Piker. Like, who gives a fuck? Zionist. Hello, Matt Binder. Hello. I know exactly

what you guys are talking about. Yes. We opened with it. That's an incredible clip. It is. I just, the thing that bugged me most about it was how Gail King acted like it was an affront to her that she was corrected.

It's like, you got it wrong, lady. I don't understand. Right. Another, I took it as, she was shocked that like her producers gave her the wrong information and she

looked like that on air. But that's just, I'm being child. That's how I read it as producer. her brain too i was like oh somebody's in trouble yeah like she looked like she was not happy to be given the wrong information because unless it made it look bad producer brain like we are you you think that you know the average of you were probably think she did the wrong research when she's just going by questions that were provided to her yeah wait this she's another gift from opra she's their

best i it is amazing to me that you don't know that they are like you know that they are like you You know a lot about Oprah and her evil empire. They are best friends to like, that's the number one thing people identify Gail King with. Yeah. So, yeah, Dr. Phil, uh, Dr.

Oz, Gail King. Thanks, Oprah for all this great shit. She's the one that actually makes sense, though. Like, it's not like she just pulled her off the,

you know, off the street like she did with Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz. Like this is someone she has longstanding ties with and trust. There's a TV reporter, right. Yes. No, like,

best friends to the point where, like the there were many many tabloid articles in like the 2010s about how they were actually secretly lesbians and together we just lost matt bender but you gained brandon but we did exactly right there can that's right be one apparently according to the internet gods hold on brand i'm going to switch you off so i was so angry at the to the to the to the affront of the show was showing towards Oprah's best friend gail kare exactly All right, yes. Matt Bender, soon to be hired at O Magazine.

Yes. Hey, that's, you know, she's got quite the empire, you know. She does. What's happening on your shows, Matt Binder? Tonight, YouTube.com slash Matt Binder at 8.30 p.m. Eastern Time. Tune in to another episode of Leftist Mafia. We'll see you then. See you then.

Hello, Brandon. What's happening over on the discourse? Yes. So fresh off of his loss on Jubilee, which he's trying to spin into some kind of spiritual victory, I guess. Tim Poole is now beefing with Alex Jones, or should I say Alex Jones is beefing with Tim Poole. So today we covered the Alex Jones portion of that beef, which will be up as a clip later for those of you to enjoy. And I guess tomorrow we'll dig into the Tim Poole rebuttal. Okay. All right. Well, yeah, it's, I missed that segment where we come. covered the Tim Pool Jubilee and you know I missed it too we should do it and like we've never done it on

this show before yeah no I'm good I'm good have you seen his response to it did you see like the videos he made explaining what happened on his own channel I saw the Crowder one we've seen I've seen clips we saw the Crowder one I missed you know Sam's deep dive analysis of the whole Jubilee on Monday I wasn't in um I have like a 15 minute kind of tap out with Tim Pool where it just gets to the point with me where I can't listen to him talk anymore and it turns from humorous to me getting actively annoyed having to listen to him wine like that. But it was glorious to see him get destroyed. Well, if you don't like listening to Tim Pool Wine, you definitely don't want to watch his like breakdown videos because he definitely does get up to a little bit of wine maxing in those. He gives every, every excuse under the book.

Is it just showbiz? Is that the main argument? Is that it just show business? Well, it's both. it's both just show business but also it was an incredibly disrespectful stunt for Mason to have a hat

because only Tim Poole's allowed to have a hat he was very triggered by that beanie but also he was not and in fact it was almost like a kind of subtle improv between the two of them because Tim Poole says it was almost basically planned ahead of time well we just had Mason on yesterday

to answer for that and the reason he brought the beanie was because of how Jubilee described Tim Poole in an email, he was able to take context clues and realize that there was a high likelihood that the guest was Tim Poole. But Tim is taking this as evidence that Jubilee screwed him over and that he knew ahead of time, essentially, that he would be the guy. I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain who has been on Jubilee complain about, like, being screwed over by them before. It was supposed to be a surprise. Yeah.

Who gives a fuck? I know. I know. I know. exactly. Lace up, you're like, I don't know, stop complaining. I think that.

You're scared people can prepare for you? Right, right. I mean, and by prepare, you mean have a beanie. Like, which I think is actually a missed opportunity

on Tim Poole's like side. He should have shown up with 20 beanies. I was saying this to my chat. He should have shown up with 20 beanies. And before they debated him, he should have made each and every single one of them put a beanie on to walk a mile in his shoes. Because that's the only way you can appreciate his take.

about the civil war. Yeah, right. It's an emergency experience. Now Alex Jones is challenging him to a bare knuckle boxing fight. Oh, please, Tim, accept that. He's an old man. Totally, right. Exactly.

Accept it. Anywhere, anytime. Go for it. We'll host it, right? I'll rent out a venue myself. I will sell tickets and I will promote it. That'll be my first fight promotion. Perfect.

Did Mason share? How Jubilee describes him without saying it was Tim Poole? I'm not into the fact. Just the moderate part. Yeah. Oh, okay. That was enough of a giveaway? That's pretty good on him.

He said that he discerned that it wasn't going to be like a centrist Democrat that Jubilee wasn't going to do that with a bunch of leftists. That seems like not something that they would do. It's more partisan reactionary, inflammatory. So he was like, who is a conservative that would describe himself as a moderate? And that's why he thought it was going to be Tim Poole. Right. Yeah.

If you were the king of that. But a lot of, a lot of, he could easily got it wrong too because a lot of right wingers nowadays refuse to call them as though it was right wingers and say they're just center of the eye. I mean, they could have been describing Elon Musk. I mean, to be fair, it's just bringing a beanie. Tim Poole makes it sound like he showed up in some sort of full costume. Right. But he just brought a hat.

It's not that, you know, if he was wrong, all that happened is that you have an extra hat on you. Exactly. It's not the biggest investment of your time or resources, you know, to bring a like a hat. Right. Yeah. All right. Well, uh, really tilted him. With that, check out Brandon's coverage if you want even more Tim Poole humiliation in your life over at the discourse.

All right, folks, we will head into the fun half now. See you there. Okay. Emma, please. Well, I just, I feel that my voice is. sorely lacking on the majority report. Wait, what? Look, Sam is unpopular. I do deserve a vacation

at Disney World. So, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to welcome Emma to the show. It is Thursday. Yeah, I think you need to take over for Sam. That's good. I'm gonna, I'm gonna pause you right there. Wait, what? You can't encourage Emma to live like this.

And I'll tell you why. So it's offered a twerk, sushi, and poker, sushi and poker with the boys. Who's offered it boys? What? Twer? Sushi and boys That's what we call

Biz Dwerp, sushi And I just think that what you did to Tim Poole Was mean Free speech That's not what we're about here Look at how sad he's become now You shouldn't even talk about it

I think you're responsible I probably am in a certain way But let's get to the meltdown here Dwerp Ugh sushi and poker With the boys Oh my god Dwerp

Wow sushi I'm sorry I'm losing my fucking mind So it's offered a twerk Sushi and poker with the boys Logic. Twerp. Sushi and poker with the boys. Boy, boy, boy.

Twerp. I think I'm like a little kid. A little kid. Dwerp. I think I'm like a little kid. Add this debate seven thousand times. A little kid. I think I'm like a little kid.

People just don't understand. I'm not trying to be a dip right now, but like, I absolutely think the U.S. should be providing me with a wife and kids. That's not what we're talking about here. That's not. It's not a fun job. Twirp. That's a real thing.

That's a real thing. Willie Walker. That's a real thing. That's a real thing. Offered it. That's a word. That's a real thing. That's a real thing.

Offer to work. Sam has like the way to the world on the shoulders. Sam doesn't want to do this show anymore. It was so much easier. When the majority report was just you, you were happy. Let's change the subject. Rangers and Nick's going, right? Now, shut up.

Don't want people. saying reckless things on your program. That's one of the most difficult parts about this show. This is a pro-killing podcast. I'm thinking maybe it's kind of we bury the hatchet. Left is best.

Violet twir? The way Emma has cucked all of these people. My honor's thesis. You are to the right of the answer. Theme song. I Bumbleer. Emma Viglin, absolutely one of my favorite people.

Actually, not just in the game. Like, period.
