Hey, folks, starting a business is a big deal. And when you're a small business like this, you know, it's sometimes takes a while to get things off the ground. But Shopify made it super simple for Sam and he needs that. to have all the tools that he needed to launch what we have in terms of like our merch store. He didn't really want to even sell merch because it was too much of a hassle. But Shopify's templates and tools got a stunning site up for us running fast with no coding needed. Shopify checkout means more customers actually buy and returning ones can do it in a single click. I noticed this as somebody who just uses Shopify. It makes it more likely for me to follow through on a purchase because it's that easy.

It is Wednesday, July 8th, 2026. My name is Emma Vigeland, in for Sam Seder, and this is the five-time award-winning majority report. We are broadcasting live, steps, from the industrially ravaged Gowanus Canal in the heartland of America, downtown Brooklyn, USA. On the program today, old tuna. Historian and writer will be with us to discuss Trump and Turkey's relationship, as well as his piece in Jacobin, Turkey's key role in NATO is no contradiction. Also on the program, Trump declares the pause in the Iran war over, calling the leaders scum. Overnight, the U.S. bombed Iran after they fired on oil tankers in their territorial waters. Speaking of the Iran war, calls to impeach Pete Hegzeth renew after CNN reports that the U.S.

military commanders bypassed warnings before bombing the girls' school. At the NATO summit, Trump claims he's cutting off trade with Spain because they opposed spending more NATO GDP on defense. He also has a grudge against them because they were like, you can't use our bases for your illegal war in Iran and also you're committing genocide. So go Spain. And they have a handsome president, unlike us. By the way, our long national nightmare is over. Trump says his attention is back on trying to buy Greenland. Yes, yes, yes.

Sources tell CNN that Graham Plattner is planning his exit from the race.
