Ever wondered why some adults still passionately follow WWE wrestling? Join us as we take a hilarious trip down memory lane, reminiscing about iconic figures like Roman Reigns and D-Generation X, while humorously critiquing today's avid fans. Then, we switch gears and get serious about the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, breaking down the Democrats' grand plan to challenge Donald Trump. From Kamala Harris's candidacy to Trump's legal woes, we lay out why this election is so crucial for American democracy.We'll also dissect the art of political messaging, drawing fascinating parallels with the rap battles of Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Imagine how the Harris campaign can strategically paint Trump and his allies as out of touch while presenting Harris as the ultimate relatable, family-oriented candidate. And let's not forget the importance of a hopeful vision to contrast the negativity. Plus, we applaud AOC's recent stance and poke fun at some of the more peculiar behaviors within the Republican Party.Ever feel like the media has an unhealthy obsession with President Biden's age? We do too. We'll trace this narrative's roots from Fox News to its adoption by mainstream media, highlighting how it has overshadowed significant achievements and dramatic events involving Trump. The hypocrisy is staggering, especially when accusations fly about Democrats pushing Biden out. Join us as we explore the broader implications of these relentless media narratives on political stability and public perception.

I'd like to say sorry to all the veterans in America for all the ILLEGAL WARS OF AGGRESSION that especially the Republicans but also Joe Biden let's be clear Frank and honest, my fellow americans! Joe Biden led the Democrats Battle cry into the illegal wars of aggression in Iraq and afghanistan. Moreover I argue as presidential candidate an American citizen who doesn't want any of my tax dollars going to genocide against Palestinian people; and I promise to end the conflict with Ukraine immediately by calling on the referring Putin to the international criminal court, the ICC needs to arrest Putin and try him for war crimes and crimes against humanity quite simply as well as netanyahu! And logically speaking, Biden might actually be considered a war criminal since he is enabling Netanyahu in his ethnocidal agenda! #notinourname he may seem a decent man this is because he acts like one in many circumstances however genocide should be considered a disqualifying factor! I OBJECT! I'm objecting to the Democratic National committee, not truly allowing Democratic primaries! Biden should step down he is too old he has disqualified himself by taking 11 million from israel! That's illegal!!!!! #aipac The DNC needs to ask Joe Biden to politely step down

After all the drama in 2016, the Democratic National Committee has reformed the nomination process. Today on Politics with Amy Walter from The Takeaway, a look at the new rules and what impact they could have both intended and unintended. Tom Perez was elected as chairman of the DNC in 2017. Perez's mission is to insure that 2020 isn’t a repeat of 2016. That doesn’t just mean winning, it means re-instilling faith in the system for Democrats. And the DNC has done a lot of work on this front. Amy Walter talks with chairman Perez about the reforms the DNC has undertaken. Also: we look into the potential unintended consequence of the new superdelegate rule with Dave Wasserman from the Cook Political Report. Julia Azari, an associate professor of political science at Marquette University, gives us the rundown on the new and confusing debate rules. Jeff Link, a longtime Iowa Democratic strategist, explains what’s new for the first caucus state and the role that Iowa plays in the presidential nominating process. We also tackle the unwritten rules on money and fundraising with Maggie Severns of Politico and try to figure out what the role of the DNC actually is these days, and how it’s changed in the last 25 years with Jamal Simmons of HillTV. Amy's Final Take:  When it comes to covering a primary, the media spends most of its time focused on candidates - their personalities, their policies, and their blunders. But, winning candidates spend a lot of their time focused on the unsexy stuff - how to leverage the rules to their advantage. For example, Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008 realized early on that the delegate rules meant that caucuses were going to win him a lot of delegates - even if they didn’t garner as much media attention as big primary states like Pennsylvania or Texas. This year, Democrats have lots of new written and unwritten rules to figure out. How to raise lots of money without looking beholden to corportists and one percenters. How to get on the debate stage - and make the most of that opportunity. And, how to convince primary voters that they won the process fair and square. As we saw in 2016, winning the primary is only one part of the challenge for the nominee. He or she has to keep the party unified and inspired all through the general election too.

My guest today is Yolanda Rondon (@yolandarondon)—Staff Attorney for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). Her work focuses on immigration and on issues related to the surveillance, racial profiling, employment discrimination and hate crimes committed against Arab Americans. Prior to joining ADC, Yolanda worked for the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland and as a clerk for Chief Administrative Judge Charetta Harrington at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While in law school, she served as a law clerk in Israel, working on cases involving Eritrean and Ethiopian refugees. Yolanda has written numerous briefs and appeared in an amicus brief before Supreme Court of the United States in EEOC v. Abercrombie and Fitch: This was the case in which a devout Muslim woman applied for a job at clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch and didn't get the job—she was told it was because she wore a headscarf and the company had a no caps policy. Yolanda is a graduate of the State University of New York College at Buffalo and received a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence. She earned her Juris Doctor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 2013. In this episode, we discussed: Historical examples of the surveillance of Arab Americans pre- and post-September 11th. How incidental data collection practices circumvent Constitutional due process and Fourth Amendment requirements. Key policy considerations policymakers should consider regarding the surveillance of Arab-Americans and other people of color.

About Hillary, Powell wrote about his resentment towards Clinton "minions", as he called them, who sought to QUOTE "drag" Powell into the Clinton email controversy by revealing the fact that Powell himself kept at least some of his official communications off the State Department's servers when HE served as State Secretary. He said he had to  QUOTE “throw a mini tantrum” in the Hamptons to get Clinton staffers to keep him out of it. Powell also called Dick Cheney an idiot in one of the emails and referred to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as “the idiot Rummy”. But Powell saved his worst vitriol for Bill Clinton, suggesting that Clinton still cheats on Hillary. Also, William Cummings at USA Today reports that Guccifer 2.0 hacked into the DNC once again last week, this time revealing information on the DNC's finances as well as personal contact info, including Clinton running mate Tim Kaine's personal mobile phone number.

Recorded May 19th, 2016. The Democratic Party and the media rush to portray Bernie Sanders and his supporters as violent radicals, but the only violence displayed at the Nevada Convention was the quashing of the democratic process by the Democratic Party itself! Which sounds an awful lot like what the Democratic Party accuses those scary Republicans of. Speaking of Republicans, guess whose lobbyists are "hosting" the Democratic National convention? Last podcast we told how Debbie Wasserman Schultz was rigging the convention against Bernie. Well, Establishment Democrats appear thrilled to have a gaggle of pro-Wall Street, anti-Social Security, Comcast-connected (anti-net neutrality) and Republican-lobbying "hosts" running their convention, again blurring the distinction between the two parties.  And what can you do about "Payday Loan" Debbie Wasserman Schultz? You can support her opponent Tim Canova for Congress, that's what! He endorsed Bernie, Bernie has endorsed him, so now it is time for progressives to band together and oust an Establishment Democrat who represents everything that is amiss in our political system.
