Mike and Jay open the preview of this supporters’ midweek show with a look at Judge Amit Metha’s ruling that Google is a monopolist in online search. Both Mike and Jay are torn on this, though for slightly different reasons. Jay has a problem with any one company controlling so much personal data, while Mike’s concern is more with Google’s practices that lock in its dominance through multi-billion dollar “default search engine” agreements.
Next, they discuss Rep. Cori Bush’s primary loss. Bush is the second “Squad” member to lose their primary, in no small part because of a big push by AIPAC – the American Israel Public Affairs Committee – to oust those who have come out strongly against Israel’s response to the October 7th Hamas attacks.
They close with a consideration of several Supreme Court reforms proposed by President Biden. Jay thinks they’re all awful, whereas Mike believes there’s some merit to at least two of them, though he doesn’t expect any of them to come to fruition.
