3399 - Huge Google Monopoly Loss & The Harris Walz Corporate Power Agenda w/ David Dayen
Manage episode 433013874 series 1816
It’s Hump Day! Sam speaks with David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect,, to discuss Kamala Harris selecting Tim Walz as her running mate, and the recent ruling by a federal judge against Google. First, Sam runs through updates on Walz’s thunderous debut as Harris jumps out to a polling lead, Cori Bush’s primary loss, Hamas leadership, Israel’s torture camps, Elon vs. Advertisers, Teachers’ Union action, and JD Vance’s link to Project 2025, also diving into Walz opening act as Vice Presidential candidate, and his ability to weave shots at the oddities of the GOP with clear progressive policy messages. David Dayen then joins, as he first dives into the DOJ’s recent massive victory over Google’s monopolistic violations of section two of the Sherman Act, becoming only the second major anti-monopoly victory of the digital age, walking through the case’s parallels with Microsoft’s monopoly case a quarter-century ago, and the central role Google’s dominance of the search engine market via buying default access across the industry. Expanding on this, Dayen explores the $25 billion budget in 2021 (as well as myriad internal documents) that undercut Google’s claim that this “default” status wasn’t actually important to their market share, before stepping back to walk through the upcoming “remedy” phase of the trial, why it’s so difficult to undo decades of monopoly power with punitive measures, and whether there is hope for greater structural change to come out of this case. This brings Dayen to the future of the administrative state, with this case’s appeal likely to go well into the next presidency, and the approach a Harris Administration might take to this issue, parsing through the early signs as major Dem donors implore her to ditch the major anti-trust leaders of Biden’s Administration, and whether Tim Walz and greater institutional defense of Biden’s administrative choices serves as a stronger signal. Sam concludes the free half by highlighting LinkedIn co-founder and major Dem Donor Reid Hoffman’s attempt to defend his call for Harris to drop FTC Chair Lina Khan.
And in the Fun Half: Sam dives into the absurd new lawfare offensive by Elon and X to punish companies for not advertising, watches Cori Bush be very clear about her next steps in politics, and admires the complete meltdowns by everyone from Joe Scarborough and Van Jones to Ben Shapiro and Kevin McCarthy over Harris picking Walz over Shapiro. Steven Miller gets back on his xenophobic BS, and Hasan schools Dan Lebatard on crime and immigration, plus, your calls and IMs!
