Kevin Fry and Jackie Kucinich join The Weekend to discuss the latest controversies involving Platner and the Senate primary election in Maine. Rev.

Lots of news, but nothing really new.Then there's Al Sharpton.Ladies and gentlemen, if I gave you one guess regarding the topic Al Sharpton chose to discuss this week, how many of you would answer "slavery"?Congratulations.You've won.[X] SB – Al Sharpton on 250 celebrationPicture of Andrew JacksonThe amazing thing isn't that Sharpton talks about slavery.It's that he has managed to build an entire career from treating American history like a jukebox with one song.Every issue eventually gets remixed into the same conversation.At this point historians are beginning to suspect that Al Sharpton believes slavery caused inflation, traffic congestion, and the designated hitter rule.And now we're hearing that certain performers may be skipping President Trump's celebration of America's 250th birthday.Okay.And?I'm pretty sure the Republic survives.Let's be honest.America has endured British invasions, civil war, world wars, economic depressions, disco, and reality television.I think we'll survive Martina McBride declining an invitation.No offense.The funny thing about celebrity protests is that they always assume Americans are devastated.As if millions of citizens are sitting at home whispering, "The Constitution is nice, but will Bret Michaels be there?"The answer is simple.If somebody doesn't want to perform, somebody else will.America has never lacked musicians.Or opinions.Or people willing to stand in front of a microphone.Which brings me to Democrats.[SEGMENT 1-4] Same News Just Different 4Because every day they seem to move one step closer toward a political cliff that they themselves built.Not Republicans.Not conservatives.Not MAGA.Themselves.[X] SB – Varney on UN climate farceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JD Vance is headed to a negotiation with leader from Iran and it must be the strangest feeling in the world. I'm not sure we know who will represent Iran at the meeting or if they will even show up. How do you negotiate with terrorists and which terrorist is in charge? It was pure comedy gold when Mayor Q joined Al Sharpton on MSNOW to talk about crime in KC. You have to hear this slap fest. Home schooling is booming as more and more parents don't want their kids in government schools. And yes, we need to start calling them government schools instead of the old term. Apple is the biggest company in the world and their CEO the last 15 years, Tim Cook, has decided to step down in September. This is big news in the tech industry and big news in the corporate world. The Royals do it again blowing one in epic fashion Monday night... and it's almost impossible to describe how impossible it was to lose this game. They are so toast. The Chiefs have the 9th pick in the draft Thursday but their overall position is actually higher than that. I'll explain. The Washington Commanders have a new logo and it may be the start of bringing back their name Redskins.

Dean Karayanis breaks down a whirlwind Monday in global politics. From the shifting sands of the Middle East to Vitor Orban's loss in Hungary, Dean cuts through the "access media" noise to find the truth behind the headlines. The Iran Ultimatum: Dean analyzes President Trump's bold Sunday declaration of a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. He explores why the media's World War III predictions keep falling flat and examines the reality of Iran's "extortion tolls" on international shipping. A look at the shocking election results in Hungary. Dean discusses what the end of the 16-year "strongman" rule means for American conservatives who rely on endorsements rather than local campaigning, and expresses mock surprise that a supposed “authoritarian” conceded. The Battle for History: Addressing his latest column in the New York Sun, Dean says Al Sharpton's call for black Americans to boycott the America 250 celebrations erases the service of thousands of Black patriots like Crispus Attucks — the first man killed in the American Revolution. The "America First" Democrat: Why is Senator John Fetterman the only prominent Democrat willing to root for American interests against Iran? Dean compares Fetterman's "civilization over chaos" stance with the "deranged" defeatism of New York Times columnist Tom Friedman. Economic Realities: Why are egg prices collapsing, and why isn't the media giving the current administration a shred of credit for market recovery?

Nicolle Wallace covers the surging inflation and gas prices because of the war in Iran. Not only is the war affecting the United States, but it is also affecting airports in Europe, who are warning that they might face a jet fuel shortage if oil can't pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It is a full scale global economic crisis, and it has no signs of winding down any time soon with Iran still maintaining its chokehold on the Strait. Later, Rev. Al Sharpton and Michael Feinberg join Nicolle to talk about Melania Trump's bombshell address to the press yesterday where she denied the ‘lies' about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says he sensed President Donald Trump's disappointment with European allies who were not helping at the start of the war with Iran, but he insists they are stepping up now, especially to safeguard the Strait of Hormuz, which is still effectively closed by Iran as they claim Israeli violations of the current ceasefire.
