It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

During a dinner with Donald Trump in Beijing, President Xi Jinping references the "Thucydides Trap" — the idea that when a rising superpower threatens to overtake an existing global power, the resulting tension often leads to war. Afterwards, Trump takes to Truth Social to spin Jinping's comments as a critique on the Biden Administration.

Ryan Grim, journalist, co-host of Breaking Points and co-founder of Drop Site News, joins the program to recap the week's biggest news stories. Topics include upcoming primaries, the unreleased DNC autopsy, Majorie Taylor-Greene/AOC and more.

In the Fun Half:

JD Vance and head of CMS Dr. Oz announce that the federal government is deferring $1.3B in Medicaid reimbursements on grounds of alleged fraud.

Dummy Nick Shirley gets sketchy dating advice from Patrick Bet-David.

Stephen Crowder fails at trying to critique Zohran Mamdani's administration balancing of the budget.

A man in Marblehead, MA calls out his city council for using golf courses as way to avoid complying with multi-family housing zoning laws.

Canadian Billionaire Kevin O'Leary doxxes two women who are organizing against his proposed data center in Utah.

All that and more.
