Austerity Is Built Into Capitalism

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report On today's program: The U.S. struck oil facilities around Tehran, Iran, an attack that has triggered an environmental disaster. With massive fuel depots burning, rain mixed with soot and petroleum residue is now falling over the city, leaving a toxic, oily film across streets, buildings, and vehicles.

After Donald Trump called for Iran's "unconditional surrender," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that the term simply means whatever Trump says it means. Trump takes to Truth Social to claim to essentially claim victory in Iran in a quintessential confused post from the president.

Professor Clara Mattei joins the program to discuss her new book Escape from Capitalism: An Intervention. Clara is a professor of Economics at the University of Tulsa and the founder of Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE). For more from Mattei, check the FREE YouTube channel. In the Fun Half: Senator Lindsey Graham is on a Fox News morning show still drunk from celebrating a new war as he shouts for Trump to invade Cuba next. Christian fundamentalist, Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) says we have a 'biblical responsibility' to Israel. Jake Tapper tells Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) that if he votes against $50 billion in funds for operations in Iran than it will be cast as a vote against the troops. Ben Shapiro's eyebrows are exploding. Olivia Reingold reports on tweets that Mayor Mamdani's wife liked. all that and more To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com
