Richard Becker, author of "Palestine, Israel and the U.S. Empire," joins us to talk about Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announcing that Israel intends to double the number of settlers in the occupied Golan Heights with a multimillion-dollar plan meant to further consolidate Israel's hold on the territory it captured from Syria more than 50 years ago. We talk about how the Trump administration's moves in the region gave the green light for these moves, and how the Biden administration has not walked back any of the support for further expansion of settlements in the Golan, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem despite widespread international condemnation. We also talk about the still unfolding stories of spies within the Council on American-Islamic Relations who were paid by anti-Muslim groups in the U.S.Greg Palast, independent journalist on corporate malfeasance and labor, and author of “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,” talks to us about the two bills before the Senate to protect the right to vote: the Freedom to Vote Act, which permits all voters to cast mail-in ballots in federal elections and also makes Election Day a federal holiday, among other measures; and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would impose pre-clearance procedures for states that want to change the way voting is done in their states, and the uphill battle these bills face in Congress.Jon Jeter, author, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and former Washington Post bureau chief, joins us to talk about about a report on why older women face greater financial hardships than older men, along with 30 percent of women over age 65 reported feeling very or somewhat worried about their financial situation, how these discrepancies increase when taking class and race as factors, and what could be done to ensure dignity for our aging population. We also talk about the Office of National Drug Control Policy subsidizing major network TV shows in exchange for helping push War on Drugs propaganda in the late 1990s, and the tragic police shooting in Los Angeles that killed an innocent bystander.

Is your vote under threat? States with some form of voter suppression include Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arkansas, North Dakota, Georgia and others. In what is noted as a blatantly partisan move, Trump, on the one hand, praises Florida's vote by mail program (Florida, being led by a Republican). Meanwhile, he's suing Nevada (led by a Democrat) for precisely implementing vote by mail in that state. All of this, after Trump has spent months blasting vote by mail as a fraud, an unproven claim. What are we in for in the upcoming election? Our guest is Greg Palast, the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" and "Armed Madhouse." His latest book is titled, "How Trump Stole 2020." Palast has also produced investigative reports for BBC Television, The Guardian, Democracy Now! and Rolling Stone. Also, there is concern about a slow-motion coup in Ecuador. The government of President Lenin Moreno is being accused of eroding democratic rights and suppressing opposition from the progressive left. On July 19, the South American country's National Electoral Council suspended four political parties and banned them from taking part in the 2021 general elections. The suspended parties include the Social Commitment Force Party, led by former President Rafael Correa, who served in office from 2007 to 2017.

The government of President Lenin Moreno is being accused of eroding democratic rights and suppressing opposition from the progressive left. On July 19, the South American country's National Electoral Council suspended four political parties and banned them from taking part in the 2021 general elections. The suspended parties include the Social Commitment Force Party, led by former President Rafael Correa, who served in office from 2007 to 2017. Our guest is Guillaume Long, a senior policy analyst at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Prior to joining CEPR, Guillaume held several cabinet positions in the government of Ecuador, including Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Culture, and Minister of Knowledge and Human Talent. Also, today marks the 75th anniversary of the U.S. dropping a nuclear weapon on Hiroshima, Japan. We mark the occasion by remembering the victims as well as underscoring the dangerous nuclear arms race now underway worldwide. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute presented by the Global Justice Ecology Project.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Voter suppression efforts are being stepped up by the Trump administration in the lead up to the November 2020 elections. This, following a spate of voter suppression measures put in place across the United States after the 2013 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to gut a key section of the voting rights act. Is your vote under threat? States with some form of voter suppression include Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arkansas, North Dakota, Georgia and others. In what is noted as a blatantly partisan move, Trump, on the one hand, praises Florida's vote by mail program (Florida, being led by a Republican). Meanwhile, he's suing Nevada (led by a Democrat) for precisely implementing vote by mail in that state. All of this, after Trump has spent months blasting vote by mail as a fraud, an unproven claim. What are we in for in the upcoming election? Our guest is Greg Palast, the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" and "Armed Madhouse." His latest book is titled, "How Trump Stole 2020." Palast has also produced investigative reports for BBC Television, The Guardian, Democracy Now! and Rolling Stone.

Greg Palast is an investigative journalist whose work has been featured by the BBC, the Guardian, the Nation, and Rolling Stone. He is one of the United States' and the world's foremost experts on voter suppression, vote theft and vote fraud. He is the author of the bestselling books Billionaires & Ballot Bandits and The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. His new book is How Trump Stole 2020. Greg Palast warns that Joe Biden's chances against Donald Trump are far worse than the polls would suggest because millions of Democrats will have their votes thrown out on Election Day. Moreover, many of these same Democratic Party voters have no idea that their votes were purged and therefore not counted. Palast also explains how -- as recently shown during the Georgia Democratic Primaries -- the Republican Party has refined its strategy of voter suppression, voter intimidation and vote theft. This is the playbook for how Donald Trump and his Republican Party will steal the 2020 presidential election. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?
