Epstein Survivors Speak

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump’s latest jobs report as the Wall Street Journal warns that tariffs are dragging down growth and the Supreme Court fast-tracks a case on their constitutionality. They analyze Trump’s attempts to shift blame onto the Fed, the risks for Republicans if they ignore economic anxiety, and why inflation has left household incomes stalled since the pandemic. Kander and Gupta also dive into RFK Jr.’s explosive Senate hearing, where firings at the CDC and confusion over vaccine access sparked bipartisan backlash against his leadership at Health and Human Services. Plus, they discuss Trump’s escalating “war on cities” after deploying ICE raids in Chicago, new controversy over Epstein documents that put Trump back in the spotlight, and the White House’s rebranding of the Pentagon as the “Department of War.” This and more on the podcast that helps you, the majority of Americans who believe in progress, convince your conservative friends and family to join us—this is Majority 54!
