It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Lindsey Boylan , former government official, to discuss Andrew Cuomo's recent announcement that he'll be running for Mayor of New York. First, they run through updates on Trump’s trade war and the related economic turmoil, the GOP’s impending government shutdown, the attempted deportation of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, Ukraine’s offensive on Moscow, Rubio’s small ask to Ukraine (give up your land to Russia), the NIH’s anti-vax pivot as RFK blames measles on nutrition, Trump’s attacks on the ACA, SCOTUS’ approach to conversion therapy bans, legal pushback to DOGE and OPM, and the dropping net work of Trump’s billionaire backers, before expanding on the incredible showing in support of Mahmoud Khalil at Foley Square in NYC yesterday, contrasted with Long Island politician Bruce Blakeman attempt to push blatantly false, islamophobic conspiracy, with no evidence to back himself up. Lindsey Boylan then joins, first walking through her own background working former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, beginning in 2016 and making her way up to a senior member of his team and special advisor, all while Cuomo consistently exercised his station to maintain a culture of sexual harrassment and exploitation, tackling her own experiences with Cuomo’s sexual misconduct. After briefly jumping back to today to unpack the astonishing embrace of (or, at least, acquiesence to) Andrew Cuomo by New York politicians in the wake of his announced campaign for Mayor, Boylan, Sam, and Emma dive deep into the extensive investigations into Cuomo’s administration by the city, state, and federal government, all of which confirmed a minimum of a dozen victims of Cuomo’s abuses, and how the following suits from his victims – including both a woman younger than his daughters and the state trooper charged with taking a bullet for him – has resulted in Cuomo leveling $60 million of taxpayer money to harrass, demean, and discredit his accusers and their families. Lindsey ealso xplores Cuomo’s still-existent path to victory in his fight against accountability, with Cuomo using America’s refusal to address sexual harrassment beyond civil charges to further discredit these cases, while the campaign of lawfare and public harrassment continues with little-to-no pushback from the Democratic establishment, wrapping up by touching on the importance of leaving the former governor off of your fully-ranked ballot in the NYC primary this year. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma struggle to empathize with Elon Musk’s multi-billion dollar losses and ongoing business struggles amid his attempted takeover of the US government, before watching Newsmax host Rob Schmitt attempt to defend Trump’s economic turmoil. They also dive deep into Sam’s appearance on Jubilee and the absurd attempts by the online right to reconcile the idiocracy of their movement, before watching RFK cuck himself to the Trump Administration hazing ritual as he digs into fast food and makes fun of dying turtles, plus, your calls and IMs!

2450 - Is Racism Over? Science Has The Answer w/ Dr. Keon West 1:18:52

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Dr. Keon West , visiting professor of political science at the London School of Economics, to discuss his recent book The Science of Racism: Everything You Need To Know But Probably Don't-Yet. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Canadian prime ministership, the GOP’s impending government shutdown, Trump’s attack on Columbia University, Columbia University’s wilful aiding of Trump’s disappearing of a student activist, Israel’s cutting of electricity o Gaza, Canadian tariffs, Trump’s egg problem, Trump’s recession problem, the Trump administration’s legal woes, DOGE’s unsurprising attack on Child Support, and the continuing spread of measles, also highlighting the Trump Administration’s attempts to preemptively defend the recession and economic chaos they are about to reign on the US (and the world). Dr. Keon West then joins, diving right into his data-driven approach to highlighting the existence of racism, and how we can (and have) run experiments to test for differential treatment on the grounds of race (and nothing but race), highlighting various experiments displaying blantant racial descrimination in hiring practices, pre-elementary child education, and the medical industry, as he, Sam, and Emma walk through the minimal role the race of the descriminator plays in these situations, and why, despite mainstream narratives, many of the biases being displayed are concious and active. After expanding the conversation to include the extensive data behind the racial descrimination in contemporary American policing, and unpacking the lie of the “Black on Black crime” narrative, Dr. West steps back to tackle the ebb and flow of racial descrimination over time, with the last four hundred years seeing a drastic evolution in racial biases, tracing periods of particularly extreme racism to both economic straing and the platforming and normalization of this bigotry by sociopolitical leaders. Dr. Keon West, Sam, and Emma also discuss the importance of centering on society’s overwhelming discomfort with racism (even when exercising it), what it means to do something about racism, and what to make of the fraudulant attacks on the admittedly problematic policy of DEI, before wrapping up by highlighting the role of clear data analysis – rather than vague appeals to authority – in helping push people away from bigotry. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch the Right-wing media apparatus explain exactly why skyrocketing egg prices aren’t Trump’s fault – unfortunately contradicting much of their coverage over the last few years – also tackling Trump’s attack on the law firms attempting to challenge him, and the GOP’s ongoing push to pass a continuing resolution that would allow them to make cuts to the budget without negotiation. They also parse through Democratic leadership’s ongoing struggle to act like an opposition party, contrasting the likes of Schumer and Jeffries with Bernie’s astoundingly successful tour campaigning against the Trump Administration, before highlighting the Trump Adminstration’s disappearing of a permanent US resident (with some help from Columbia University) and Gov Newsome’s recent bigoted-bridge-building session with Charlie Kirk, with some help from Emma’s apperance on MSNBC over this weekend. After briefly fact-checking Jimmy Dore’s recent climate-denial musings, they wrap up by touching on the potential hacking of Twitter by activist group Anonymous, plus, your IMs!
