FUN HALF: https://youtube.com/live/8yz_FuZe3M8?... Welcome back to The Majority Report On today's program: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett claims on CNBC that consumer confidence being at record lows is a result of the consumer becoming stressed out by Donald Trump fixing "all of the world's problems". As the economy continues to head straight towards a recession, Bloomberg shares a chart that shows the world's oil inventories are falling at record pace. Chief economist at Open Markets, Brian Callaci joins the program for a conversation about his new book "Chains of Command: The Rise and Cruel Reign of the Franchise Economy". In the Fun Half: Donald Trump gives a $6.9M no-bid contract to his personal pool guy to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explains why she is not willing to align herself with someone like Marjorie Taylor-Greene. We take a look back at MTG's record on Palestine and what could've possibly led to her changing her position on Israel. Tom Steyer talking with Hasan Piker about how he went from being a billionaire hedge fund manager to a progressive candidate for Governor of Georgia Joe Rogan really wants to believe that the government has proof of aliens.
