3625 - Sam LIVE At Las Vegas Mass Torts Conference '26 Day 2

Sam Seder hosts a live episode of The Majority Report from the Mass Torts Conference in Las Vegas, delivering a sharp critique of Donald Trump's foreign policy, particularly his handling of the Strait of Hormuz and the resulting geopolitical fallout. Seder dissects Trump's contradictory actions—publicly claiming the strait is open while maintaining a naval blockade—arguing it was a performative move to appease Netanyahu and secure a short-term truce with Lebanon. He highlights the absurdity of Trump’s 'madman theory' and the real-world consequences, including global supply chain disruptions and economic instability. Seder also condemns the Congressional Black Caucus’s support for the FISA reauthorization despite its history of surveillance abuses against Black communities, citing whistleblower revelations and Ron Wyden’s warnings about systemic compliance failures. The episode features a compelling interview with attorney Alex Taylor, who details a major antitrust case against MultiPlan (now Claritev), a company accused of using AI-driven algorithms to enable price-fixing among health insurers, effectively siphoning billions from doctors and hospitals. Seder underscores the broader implications of such corporate collusion and the critical role of civil litigation in holding powerful entities accountable when federal enforcement has faltered. The show closes with a call to support medical aid in Gaza through the GLIA project, marking a poignant personal note on Seder’s birthday.
