Monopoly, Labor, & Dodgy East Palestine Air Testing | David Dayen | TMR
Sam and Emma host David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect to round up the week in news. David briefly walks Sam and Emma through ongoing discussions about Biden’s new FAA appointment, before shifting the conversation to the battle between labor and monopoly coming to a head with an upcoming airline merger seeing a battle between JetBlue and Spirit unions, and the regulatory failures of the freight industry resulting in Norfolk Southern’s chemical disaster in East Palestine. Wrapping up, David dives deeper into Norfolk Southern’s PR “clean-up,” and tackles the rhetorical pinning of inflation on labor.

It is a pleasure to welcome back to the show the executive editor of the American Prospect, a frequent guest on the Jon Stewart program. Oh yeah. David Dayen: Wait, what time is it right now? Do you have to do his show? Do you have to go run and do his show? I gotta get out yeah I know I gotta say I listened to that David and he might talk over you more than we do. so he has us beat there. He's allowed. Yes. For sure. All right well I mean I sort of feel like we might have earned it too. How many Emmys for you? You've seen my work up close. you don't need it I mean. I've seen both your and John's stand-up work. So I don't want to make a comparison. Well but yeah have you ever seen his acting you've seen my acting. I actually think you're very close there if not you I think you actually saw ahead of him on that. On that oh yeah sore ahead is not close were you up for Death to Smoochy? Were you up for that role? That one was not one that I was available for. not all right David Dayen. That was predictable though. That's okay. I'm pushing buttons, that's all. Let's start with this week has been one of those weeks where sort of some of the real stuff that is happening has happened sort of like on the layer that we don't really get that doesn't really reach like Google News if it will if you will. one of the biggest I think sort of in the implications I'm curious as to what the implications of this would be from your perspective Marty Walsh leaving the Department of Labor and heading to the NHL. give me your take on this I mean because there have been two areas where I think the Biden Administration has met expectations maybe exceeded arguably. and that is on the anti-monopoly side. I think maybe in some respects even exceeded it. on the labor side you know there are some pluses and there some there's some positives or minuses. Give me your sense of Marty Walsh as a labor secretary. and then let's talk about how much of an upgrade this is. Well, my understanding was Walsh was pretty sidelined at DOL. he was not sort of a major player in economic debates. Interestingly, he never moved from Boston. he never left Boston to move to Washington. and so he would come in temporarily. That's probably not a way to increase your clout inside an executive Administration. and my understanding wasn't on the key stuff. He did not really have a major voice. The labor department certainly has parts of the labor department and parts of the labor agenda in the Administration have flourished. I think that's more of a function of the National Labor Relations Board and what they've been able to do. it's a function of Biden being really interested in also on the antitrust side in sort of the labor aspects of that.
