#726 Without millionaires, we wouldn't have capitalism

TODAY: A shocking revelation from the MDC boys that could change the trajectory of our nation PLUS: We celebrate the REAL No KINGS Day with some incomprehensible posts honoring the country of AMERICAN AND: One republican poster questions why millionaires and billionaires make out better under Trump's tax bill, and the Let's Go Brandon facebook group calls him a Nazi ALSO: Teamsters? Celebrate Pride month? Despite me not being gay? We cover my union's support for gay and queer rights and shock reactionary members by informing them their contract already protects gay and trans people. However, one ingenious member suggests reducing our paid vacations in the next contract so no one thinks we're using that time to go on gay cruises.

TODAY: The BBC refuses to broadcast Kneecap's Glastonbury set... and instead gets hit with the old "Death to the IDF" by noise rap band Bob Vylan We discuss the band's statements, their music, the Glastonbury festival, and most importantly, what average BBC viewers are saying. Is it antisemtic to oppose a military killing thousands of women and children? Either way is it distasteful to drag politics into music? Will zionists ever be able to stop the wave of anti-Israel sentiment sweeping the globe?

TODAY: We cover Zohran Mandami's Democratic Mayoral primary win and the cascading waves of dissonance it's set off in right wing and centrist circles.  Will the right finally start calling all democrats "socialsts" now that a DSA guy has won a primary? Will the right wing's beloved New York City finally go down in flames? Will the few zionist democratic voters be able to scold their compatriots into "ISLAMAWARENESS"?

TODAY: Sean of The Antifada podcast and the Independent Labor Club joins us to discuss important current events: Alex and Ani's wedding. Did he like the goats? The eggrolls from our neighbor? Shooting arrows at parade attendees? We get him on the record. ALSO: Going to war with Iran on behalf of Israel--is it good to? We examine the various arguments in favor of the US's missle strike on Iran's nuclear site, such as Charlie Kirk's "Don't worry about it, kitten" and the Libertarian Candidates Meme Army's "I will NOT be a slave to Iran" Will this apologia be enough to maintain support for Trump amid his extremely unpopular and destabilizing foreign policy decisions? Will he go from being good Hitler (genocidal) to bad Hitler (incompetent, deranged, defeated)?

Originally Aired: January 10th 2020 Hey Everyone. Alex is on vacation the next two weeks because he's getting married. Premium episodes will release uninterrupted. I don't remember all of what this episode was about because I was working 14 hour days through covid and the only description I wrote is "It's the Iran episode" Get a bonus episode every week by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month  Music:  Trial - War By Other Means  

TODAY: We mess with the Zohan by reviewing the bizarre 2008 Adam Sandler comedy following an Israeli super soldier who defects to the US when he tires of "all the fighting going on over there" in order to be a successful American sex criminal and Salon owner. Probably the most bizarre Sandler outing, the effort sees the star trying to make comedy with liberal zionism and (more effectively) ruthlessly depicting a revolting Israeli culture. In Zohan, we see two Israelis: the uber mensch zionist warrior from Jewish lore, and the deluded narcissist who can't stop sexually harassing people and getting into screaming matches with female service workers. Luckily this contradiction doesn't need to be resolved as we discover the bloody conflict is really being orchestrated by nefarious WASP mall developers (not that wrong actually) Order Sloppy by Rax King here or from your local bookstore Get a bonus episode every week by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month

TODAY: A far-right evangelical ministry stages an anti-LGBTQ protest in the heart of a queer Seattle community, and they are met with thousands of counter-protestors.

TODAY: Trump V Musk. Who will win? Or is it "Sun Tzu level warfare"? We cover the open conflict between the two high-energy type A alpha males. What did Elon mean by "Trump is in the Epstein files"? What did Trump mean by "Elon is a drug addict"? Could this be a golden opportunity for Democrats to add another repulsive billionaire to their team? Are the crafty showmen staging a brilliant game of 4D chess visible only to their most emotionally intelligent supporters? Or is this just another false gesture at a hidden world of elite predators who will never see justice? Possibly, but either way at least I'm racist now.

TODAY: Alex details a rough workweek and the strange case of his employer having more volume and business than the shareholders would prefer. Due to overwork grievances and disciplined work methods from drivers, the company was forced to hire an additional 5 full-time drivers. Likewise in Minnesota the union wins 30 new full-time positions to fight company-wide layoffs and building closures. ALSO: The Battle of Los Angeles. Thousands of LA residents rise up against ICE raids on their neighbors, protesting the violence and cruelty wielded by the militarized agency.  An SEIU labor leader is injured and arrested, and Teamsters voice their support. We argue for the dignity and protection of all workers and respond to some reactionary and nativist union sentiments.
