3/19 Israel Escalates; How Cuba Endures; Tracking Anti-Trans Bills w/ Helen Yaffe, Erin Reed (M)

FUN HALF: https://youtube.com/live/ZudX34YRezc?...

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on The Majority Report.

On today's program:

An Israeli strike on Iranian facilities in the South Pars gas field marked a significant escalation in the war, prompting Iran to attack major energy facilities of its Gulf neighbors. Trump took to Truth Social to claim the U.S. had no knowledge of Israel's plans to attack South Pars but if warns if Iran continues to retaliate then he'll blow up the entirety of the oil field.

A reporter asks Pete Hegseth why we are helping Israel prosecute this war if they are going to pursue their own objectives and Hegseth had no answer. Pete then ended the press conference with a prayer - but it's Iran that is theocratic terrorist state.

Helen Yaffe, Professor of Latin American Political Economy, University of Glasgow joins Emma to discuss her book We Are Cuba! How a revolutionary people survived in post-Soviet world.

Erin Reed, journalist tracking anti-LGTB+ legislation around the world at Erin in the Morning on Substack joins MR to discuss her Anti-Trans National Legal Risk Assessment Map: Feb 2026
