2479 - Winning on Immigration and Fighting Oligarchy w/ Rep. Greg Casar, Cody Johnston

It's casual Good Friday, and oh what a week it's been. Emma breaks down Senator Chris Van Hollen's meeting with his constituent Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador, as well as the way the White House and Bukele are trying to spin it.

After that, Emma speaks with the new chairman of the House Progressive Caucus Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), who shares his vision for how the Democratic Party can push back on Trump's draconian immigration crackdown, as well as providing a more positive vision for a forward-looking immigration program of their own. Emma also asks Casar about what conversations are taking place within the House Progressive Caucus about the disconnection between the Democratic Party at large and its constituents on Gaza. Casar also talks about his experience on the Fight the Oligarchy tour with Bernie & AOC, and his desire to make sure the federal government is rid of Elon Musk by May.

After that, Emma is joined by Some More News' Cody Johnston, to talk about what is happening (or not happening) to counter the Trump administration's full-court blitz. David Hogg and Chris Cuomo take shots at Bernie, AOC and DNC co-chair David Hogg for "taking a page from the MAGA playbook." Carvel even suggests that he might try to sue Hogg for saying that he's going to support primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats. They also marvel at Jair Bolsonaro's latest edition of shirtless hospital selfies.

In the Fun Half, we watch the interview that Mohhsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia who is now in ICE custody, gave before the day of his arrest. His story may be chilling but his words and spirit are an inspiration and beacon of hope in an otherwise dark time.

2481 - The Cases That Could Break Up Google & Facebook + Trump's Pentagon Implosion

Newsday Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the latest news leaking out of the Pentagon, as well as Fox News host Will Cain's non-apology after acknowledging he was wrong about doubting that Donald Trump had ever said that he wanted to deport U.S. citizens. Republican congressman Austin Scott gives some hints as to how Republicans are planning to make cuts to Medicaid.

Then Emma and Sam also speak to Brendan Benedict, an antitrust and commercial litigation lawyer who is covering antitrust cases for the blog Big Tech on Trial. He gives us an overview of the Google antitrust cases, as well as the current Facebook case which Brendan is covering now for Big Tech On Trial.

Check out their coverage here: https://www.bigtechontrial.com/

In the Fun Half, Emma and Sam check ask why Donald Trump continues to punt on releasing more of the Epstein files. They also check in on comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz, who says he switched from being a Democrat to being a Republican because conservatives are doing cool sh*t now, like saying and doing whatever they want (as long as it's not critical of Israel). Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Brian Kilmeade suggest that the Deep State is out to get him, and that despite them he's not going to join the "cocktail sipping" crowd. Also, the White House welcomes a new journalist into the briefing room with the bravery to finally ask hard-hitting questions, Tim Pool.
