  • Resumen

  • It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Dr. Genevieve Guenther, founding director of the organization End Climate Silence, affiliate faculty at the Tishman Environment & Design Center at the New School, to discuss her recent book The Language of Climate Politics: Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It. Then, she speaks with blogger Ettingermentum of the "Ettingermentum Newsletter" on SubStack, to discuss what comes next for Biden, the Democratic Party, and the presidential ticket. First, Emma runs through updates on the US economy, Biden’s candidacy, Israel’s continuing devastation of Gaza (amid supposed ceasefire talks), US foreign military aid, SCOTUS corruption, Project 2025, the anti-abortion GOP, and Texas’ environmental disaster, before diving deeper into developing reports of Israel’s (and Benjamin Netanyahu’s) active and months-long sabotage of supposed peace negotiations between Israel and Hamas. Dr. Genevieve Guenther then joins, first tackling the development of a new type of climate denial – one that embraces climate change as a concept, but rejects any urgency or action to restructure our economies as alarmist and unrealistic – and touching on the major role financiers play in keeping the fossil fuel industry alive. Diving deeper into the lies of this form of climate denial, Dr. Guether walks Emma through some highlights of this failing attitude, with supposed technological advancements like bioenergy and carbon capture further contributing to the destruction of our atmosphere. Wrapping up, Genevieve and Emma explore the demobilizing impact of this mainstream climate denial, an issue exacerbated by neoliberalism’s hollowing out of the institutions and structures of political advocacy and activism, and what we can do to activate around this issue. Ettingermentum joins, taking a moment to contextualize his thinking on the electoral popularity of Biden and both the Democratic and Republican parties writ large, allowing him to more accurately predict the results of the 2022 elections than the typical economic fundamentals model. He and Emma then dive into the trenches of the ongoing fiasco of Biden’s candidacy, the questions of its viability and whether or not it will even continue, what to make of the various (and generally absurd) arguments against replacing him, and the theoretical candidacy of Kamala Harris, before wrapping up with a greater assessment of polling and how to understand it. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack the developing drama around Biden’s candidacy, including George Clooney’s recent OpEd (and the Biden team’s telling response), the absurd and tokenizing arguments behind keeping him in the race, and the argument behind a Harris candidacy (ft. Rep. Adam Smith). They also talk with Marcos from Baytown and Aaron from Houston about the harrowing conditions of Texas’ heatwave power outage and the utter failure of the Texas conservative establishment, plus, your calls and IMs!
