Podcast appearances and mentions of Khizr Khan

On this week's episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,' Mehdi breaks down one of Donald Trump's most fascistic plans yet – using the US military to crush dissent.“It's not a conspiracy theory, nor is it a secret,” Mehdi says, as he brings the receipts exposing Team Trump's plan to use the Insurrection Act to crack down on protesters via military force, starting on day one of his second term.“We're not exceptional,” Rosa Brooks, former Obama Defense Department adviser, tells Mehdi. “I think one thing that Americans tend to think is that somehow bad things that happen in other places couldn't possibly happen here, but we are not immune from the forces of history.”Watch Mehdi's monologue, and his full conversation with Rosa Brooks and Yale University fascism expert Jason Stanley, above.—Christians in Gaza: Khalil Sayegh, a member of Gaza's Palestinian Christian community, joins Mehdi in the studio to discuss how Israel has repressed and attacked his community, both before and especially since October 7, 2023, and how the US evangelical elite has ignored the Christians of Gaza. “My sister was entering a room with my infant niece, literally walking into the room and just before she got into this room, the room itself just collapsed,” Sayegh tells Mehdi, referencing the recent Israeli strike on a house next to Gaza's Saint Porphyrius Church.—Khizr Khan is back: Also on the show, Mehdi talks to legendary Gold Star father Khizr Khan, on set, about Trump's recent stunt at Arlington Cemetery, in violation of federal law, and why it matters. “Trump is void of accountability, sense of responsibility. That is why we see that civility in our political discourse is at its lowest,” says Khan, who lost his son Humayun in Iraq in 2004 and famously denounced Trump at the Democratic National Convention back in 2016.  If you're a paid subscriber, be sure to let us know what you think in the comments, and who you would like to see Mehdi talk to next!

“Suckers and losers”? Gold Star father Khizr Khan, who's experienced Trump's appalling disdain for our armed forces firsthand, joins Jessica Denson to raise the alarms about Trump's threat to our national security, his ignorance of sacrifice, and why our military and veterans cannot afford for him to be Commander-in-Chief ever again.

The Sayyid dynasty was the fourth dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, with four rulers ruling from 1414 to 1451. Founded by Khizr Khan, a former governor of Multan, they succeeded the Tughlaq dynasty and ruled the sultanate until they were displaced by the Lodi dynasty. The Lodhi Dynasty was an Afghan dynasty that ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1451 to 1526. It was the fifth and final dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, and was founded by Bahlul Khan Lodi when he replaced the Sayyid dynasty. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/venus-jain3/message

Luke 10:25-37Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.” But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while travelling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.”“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” So, the parable of the Good Samaritan is an oldie and a goody. The gist of it is so well known it can be referenced in most places out there in the world and the average bear knows something about its message. I heard it casually mentioned by a news anchor just this week in reference to something someone did during the shooting at Highland Park, outside of Chicago, on the 4th of July.So, it's one of those parables most of us have heard so often it may have lost its punch over the years. I feel like we've learned to serve it up sweet and good and nice for the kids on Sunday morning and at Vacation Bible School but, like so much else in Scripture, we forget to dig more deeply into it all, too much of the time, once we've grown up and moved on from our Sunday school days and VBS.So, when I stumbled across Thursday's White House ceremony where President Biden awarded the Presidential Medals of Freedom to a handful of American civilians, some of them got me thinking about what it means to be a “Good Samaritan” and how we might wonder differently and more deeply about that this morning.There were 17 Medals of Freedom given and all of them were impressive for many reasons. But a few stood out to me. Photo: Susan Walsh/AP There was Simone Biles, the most decorated American gymnast ever, who is also an advocate for athletes' mental health and safety, for kids in foster care, and for victims of sexual assault – all of which she has accomplished as a 4 foot, 8 inch, 103 pound example of Black girl magic, from Columbus, Ohio, who has survived and thrived in the face of her experience with all of the above: her own mental health struggles, some time in the foster care system herself, and as a victim of sexual assault along with so many other gymnasts, just like her. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images And there was Khizr Khan, the Pakistani-American father, whose son, Humayun Khan, was killed in the Iraq war defending his fellow Americans from a car bomb attack. But Khizr Khan, a Muslim himself, got the Medal of Freedom for speaking out against an immigration ban targeting people from Muslim-majority countries, and reminding whoever would listen to him that heroes and patriots like his own Muslim son would have been kept from citizenship under such discriminatory policies. Photo: Shaun Clark/Getty Images And there was Megan Rapinoe, too, the queer soccer player for the US Women's National Team. She accepted her award – pink and purple hair and all – not just for her Olympic gold medals and Women's World Cup championships, but for her advocacy work for gender pay equality in women's sports, racial justice, and LGBTQ+ rights. Which brings me back to the holy questions raised by today's Gospel and Jesus' parable of the original “good” Samaritan. All of this begins and ends with questions, after all, and that lawyer gets the ball rolling when he asks: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus asks him a couple of questions in return: “What is written in the law? What do you read there?”The lawyer answers correctly – “love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength…and love your neighbor as yourself” – but then he asks another question: “But who is my neighbor?” And after that tale about the sad sack who gets robbed, beaten, left for dead, and all the rest; the story about the priest and the Levite who pass him by and the Samaritan who finally stops to help; Jesus wraps it all up with still another question. Not a moral. Not a sermon. Not a lecture. But a seemingly rhetorical question: “Which one was a neighbor?”See, in Jesus' day Samaritans weren't necessarily considered to be “good” or “neighbors” by those who would have been listening to Jesus. They were outsiders to those who considered themselves to be good, faithful Jews, descendants of Abraham and rightful, faithful heirs of God's promises. To hear that a Samaritan would do a kind and gracious, loving thing for anyone, would have been a surprise – and maybe even an offensive surprise, at that. By that I mean some of Jesus' listeners might have rather died on the side of that road than have to admit they had been saved by a Samaritan.I learned that from Amy Jill-Levine, the brilliant Jewish, New Testament scholar – yes, you heard that correctly. She's a Jewish, New Testament scholar, some of us have studied around here. She goes so far as to propose the notion that the Jewish lawyer in Jesus' story couldn't even bring himself to say “Samaritan” – that he can't even admit that a Samaritan was the hero of the parable. Because when Jesus asks that final question, “Who was a neighbor?,” the lawyer can only answer, perhaps begrudgingly, “the one who showed him mercy.”And I learned something else from Amy Jill-Levine about this parable, too – something that is lost on so many 21st Century readers of Jesus' parable. Nowhere in the Biblical text do we read the phrase “Good Samaritan.” That's a title we've added to the mix over the course of the last 2,000 years, but it's not something Jesus, or the Gospel writer ever says – “Good Samaritan.” This guy, this Samaritan, was just kind and merciful and loving and compassionate – and a neighbor. Like a Samaritan is wont to be, presumably. And this would have been hard, holy, surprising news for Jesus' listeners to acknowledge.Likewise, Simone Biles is a “good” young Black woman, for sure. She's strong, brave, compassionate and tremendously hard-working – as young Black women are wont to be. She's exceptional, not in spite of her Blackness, but because she's a child of God.Kzhir Khan, and his son Humayun, are not and were not “good” or “exceptional” in spite of the fact that they are Muslim. They are and were faithful, wise, brave and patriotic children of God – as Muslims in this country and around the world are wont to be.And the same goes for Megan Rapinoe, lesbian activist for women's rights, racial justice and more. She's not “good” in spite of herself. She is kind, compassionate, fair-minded and on a quest for equality because her life's experience – like so many queer people like her – has shown her what it's like to live on the margins in a world that still doesn't accept her fully – as a woman, as a gay person, and as an elite athlete who is both of those things, and a child of God, too.So let's start asking better questions. And let's “go and do likewise” – looking for and loving our neighbor in surprising people and places – as Jesus invites us to do. Let's wonder, more often, about “the other,” “the outsider,” “the hurting,” “the broken,” “the lost,” “the whatever.” Let's see them each – and all – as our neighbors and as God's children.And let's learn from them, listen to them, and respect them with humility, compassion and openness – not because it's exceptional, but because it's expected – as a natural, grateful, faithful response from anyone who has received the same kind of grace, and more, from the God we know in Jesus.Amen

On Thursday night The Atlantic published a bombshell story that alleged -- citing four anonymous sources -- that President Donald Trump had repeatedly mocked US soldiers killed in battle and skipped a visit to a veterans' cemetery in France out of concern that rainy conditions would mess up his carefully coiffed hair.The report immediately became a massive story, with Democrats -- including Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden -- rushing to condemn Trump for his alleged behaviour and the White House rallying an aggressive pushback against the article, including the President himself."To think that I would make statements negative to our military when nobody has done what I've done, with the budgets and the military budget," Trump said Thursday night after returning from a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. "We're getting pay raises for the military. It is a disgraceful situation, by a magazine that is a terrible magazine, I don't read it."On Friday morning, Trump took his defense to Twitter. "The Atlantic Magazine is dying, like most magazines, so they make up a fake story in order to gain some relevance," he wrote. "Story already refuted, but this is what we are up against. Just like the Fake Dossier. You fight and and fight, and then people realize it was a total fraud!"National security adviser Robert O'Brien was called in to serve as a character witness for Trump, telling reporters, "You're not going to find anybody who's more sympathetic to their situation than the President." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News he never heard the President use the language described in the article.Jeffrey Goldberg, who authored The Atlantic piece, stood by his reporting in an appearance on CNN's "New Day" Friday morning."I stand by my reporting," he said. "I have multiple sources telling me this is what happened, and so I stand by it."So, we're left with this dilemma: Goldberg insists the story is true. Trump insists the story is false. Both of those views can't be right.On Saturday, a former senior administration official confirmed to CNN that Trump referred to fallen US service members at the Aisne-Marne cemetery in crude and derogatory terms during the November 2018 trip to France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. Fox News, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Associated Press have also corroborated parts of The Atlantic's reporting.Trump's insistence that he would never say anything disparaging about a military veteran or the military more generally is belied by, well, facts.In 2015, shortly after he had officially entered the 2016 Republican presidential race, Trump said this of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain: "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured." McCain was shot down and kept captive by the North Vietnamese for more than five years. The wounds he suffered as a result of the torture he endured during his captivity left him unable to raise his arms over his head -- among other maladies -- for the rest of his life.In the wake of Gold Star father Khizr Khan's speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2016 -- in which Khan suggested Trump had never sacrificed anything in life -- the billionaire businessman suggested that Hillary Clinton's speechwriters had actually written the speech and that Khan's wife, who stood silently by her husband, was not allowed to speak. As for Khan's claim that Trump had never sacrificed, the Republican nominee responded this way: "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures."Following the death of US Army Sgt. La David Johnson in Niger in 2017, the slain soldier's wife (and a Florida Democratic congresswoman) said that Trump had told her on a phone call that her husband "knew what he had signed up for." Trump denied the claim.Last fall, Trump referred t...

One of the most moving speakers at the 2016 Democratic National Convention was Khizr Khan, who felt compelled to address a national audience after then-candidate Donald Trump's attacks on Muslims and immigrants. Mr. Khan, who grew up in Pakistan, spoke lovingly of his adopted country and why he believes so strongly in the promise of America. David sat down with him in 2018 to discuss the experiences that informed his belief in the United States and how he continues to honor his heroic son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.

The protest movement against the onset of the Iraq War was countered by a call to “support our troops” from militarists on the Right. But venerating American soldiers is not about supporting actual American soldiers; it's a rhetorical device to preclude questioning or criticism of the wars they are sent to fight. In a face-to-face interview at Brown University's Watson Institute, anthropologist Catherine Lutz discusses John Kelly's recent diatribe, Khizr Khan, Trump's attack on protesting NFL players, and the roots of it all in the Nixon administration's response to GI rebellion against the Vietnam War.

Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who challenged Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, is joined by CIIS faculty May Elawar for a conversation about what an American looks like and what being a nation of immigrants really means.

After one of the most tumultuous and historic years in American history, let’s end it on a positive note, and this episode is sure to inspire some confidence in you. First we'll dive into the mind of the notorious Russian leader with Steven Lee Myers, author of The New Tsar: The Rise and Reign of Vladimir Putin. The lovely Chenell then addresses issues of race and policing with Michael Eric Dyson, whose new book Tears We Cannot Stop is a must-read. Finally, possibly the greatest interview I've had the pleasure of conducting, I speak with Khizr Khan to discuss his book, An American Family. Happy holidays my friends, and we’ll see you in the new year.

Last fall’s presidential election brought a range of impassioned voices to the national stage, but one of the most captivating speakers rose above petty politics with a deeply personal and very different view of what it means to be American. You may recall the Muslim parent Khizr Khan from the DNC when he spoke about his son, a U.S. Army Captain who was killed while protecting his base camp in Iraq. In Khan’s inspiring new book, An American Family: A Memoir of Hope and Sacrifice, he reflects on his grief for his son as well as his family history of pursuing the American dream during these tumultuous times. From humble beginnings on a poultry farm in Pakistan to obtaining a degree from Harvard Law School and raising a family in America—Khan shows what it means to leave the limitations of one’s country behind for the best values and promises of another. Khan will now take the ALOUD stage to discuss the realities of life in a nation of immigrants and the daily struggles of living up to our ideals.

Tune in and hear our interview with Khizr Khan! He discusses why he decided to speak at the DNC convention and why South Asians and Muslims must be civically engaged. ** We apologize for the background noise, we had to interview in the lobby of the venue!**

Martha's guests this week are Peter Zheutlin, Robert Antoni, and Khizr Khan.

Since the 2016 election heightened America's deep political divides, the mantle of patriotism has become fodder for a bitter tug-of-war. Is it patriotic to leak a presidential secret? To voice dissent during a national rite? Should a general running the White House be deferred to or defied? In this episode, Atlantic journalists Krishnadev Calamur and Sigal Samuel talk with Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father whose stirring speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention touched off a famous feud with the President-to-be, about what sacrifice means to him, and why America is worth it. We also hear from a couple veterans who offer their own perspectives on patriotism and military service.

"I wrote this book, AN AMERICAN FAMILY, to tell the story of my family’s immigration to the United States. But behind all this, the American values that inspired me to decide to come to the United States and then make it a home."

Scott Kelly is the American who has spent the longest amount of time in space and this week, he's on Fully Booked talking about what life up there is like and about writing his new memoir, ENDURANCE. We talk to another American hero, Khizr Khan, whose new book, AN AMERICAN FAMILY, offers insight into what it was like for Khan to become a star at the Democratic National Convention. And our editors stop by to give you their thoughts about this week's bestsellers!

While the subject of race and racism will likely continue to be a contentious topic for years to come, it is a discussion that is imperative for civil society. How does the dialogue on race continue? Will protests in the streets and boycotts become the new mode of discourse? What can be done to ease racial anxiety and promote common understanding? Former NPR Host and Director of The Race Card Project Michele Norris leads a discussion about how to converse about race with Khizr Khan, Adam Foss, and Amy Hinojosa.

Khizr Khan entered a life in the public eye after he spoke at the Democratic National Convention last summer, challenging then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to read the U.S. Constitution.This hour, we speak to the Pakistani American and Gold Star Father about life after that memorable speech, and why he continues to travel around the country to speak on behalf of religious and minority rights.

Happy Friday! The battle for control of our nation’s borders and the creation of an immigration system that meets the needs of American citizens and not the exploiters of cheap labor is underway by the Trump Administration.  The Border Patrol has reported that there has been a 40% decline in the number of illegal aliens running the southern border of the United States. This provides affirmation that, what I have come to refer to as “Deterrence through enforcement,” is an effective tactic.   On March 10th FrontPage Magazine published my article, “KHAN JOB?- Khizr Khan claims his ‘travel privileges are being reviewed.’”   On March 8th The Tennessee Star published a report that was based on a lengthy interview I participated in with their reporter, Wendy Wilson.  The article, “Former INS Agent Michael Cutler: Illegal Immigrants Should Be Fearful; People Demanding Enforcement Are Not Haters.”  The contrast in how Wilson provided a clear and accurate account of my interview provides an important contrast with the way that the mainstream media was eager to report on Khizr Khan’s claims about not being able to leave the United States without first delving deeper into his allegations. Please be a part of my “Bucket Brigade of Truth” and tell your friends and neighbors about these articles and about my program- and mywebsite- remember Democracy is not a “Spectator Sport!”

Gold Star father Khizr Khan may be the most patriotic American we've ever spoken with. In this conversation he talks about his belief in America's core values.

Dr. Jasser gives a full-throated review of President Barack Obama's "Fairwell" aka "Failure" speech. You won't want to miss this no holds bar catharsis from Zuhdi on the shame that is President Obama's legacy in the Middle East that gave rise to the global Jihad and demise of global security. Hope and Change gave way after eight years to Fear and Paralysis. Zuhdi also says enough is enough with the Left's demonization of Senator Sessions and the Islamist sympathies of Mr. Khizr Khan who has now become the poster boy for CAIR and other Islamist grievance groups. Dr. Jasser discusses why Sen. Sessions should be confirmed and his interactions with him. He also gives a rare conservative critical analysis of the Rex Tillerson nomination and the good questions that were asked and more that should have been asked at his hearings.

I am a 25-year-old journalist based in Harlem, NY. I was born in Trenton, NJ and got my start in journalism as the sports editor for The Pitt News. I have lived, studied, traveled or written all over United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Iceland, Israel, Egypt, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Alaska, and West Texas, which I've come to consider a country of its own. Over the course of eight years, I've reported on racism that drives sports fandom, how Harlem is combating gang violence, what harsh rhetoric and 9/11 security has done to our borders and the most unique home in America. My re-telling of the infamous murder of William Vassar won me a first place award in Pittsburgh's Neighborhoods in Transition writing competition. My endorsement of Hillary Clinton received over four million views and altered the conversation around millennial support of the Democratic nominee. Yahoo subsequently named me one of the 16 people who shaped the 2016 election alongside Khizr Khan, Bo Copley and others.In 2015, my investigative piece on predatory payday loans changed public policy when it was cited by Maxine Waters in a letter to congress urging Universities and retirement plans to divest from certain lending services. After losing several classmates to heroin overdoses, I took a deep dive into what caused our country's epidemic of opioid addiction. I have covered everything from gay rodeos to why G-d doesn't care about football.When I left The Huffington Post, where I started my professional writing career, I worked alongside Ashton Kutcher and a talented team to build A Plus, one of the world's largest positive news outlets. We are home to the silver lining. My work has appeared on CNN, The Huffington Post, Medium, The Daily Mail, A Plus and more. A Plus was recently acquired by Chicken Soup for the Soul.

WHY DOES THE MEDIA FOCUS ON KHIZR KHAN, WHOSE SON DIED IN SERVICE OF HIS COUNTRY INSTEAD OF PAT SMITH, WHOSE SON WAS TORTURED AND KILLED IN BENGHAZI? ISN'T IT OBVIOUS BY NOW THAT THEY ARE IN THE BAG FOR HILLARY CLINTON?

What a rude, crude, nasty, lying U.S. election campaign we're watching. Earlier in the week, Donald Trump told “Second Amendment people” they could deal with Hillary Clinton if she's elected POTUS and nominates left wing judges. Many in the Clinton campaign, or its orbit, interpreted Trump's statement as a direct threat to Clinton. Wednesday, Trump announced Barack Obama to be “the founder of ISIS,” a statement Donald Trump instigated. Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, former U.S. Navy Lt. Commander and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, joins the Roy Green Show to comment on the current US Election.  This week we discuss his view of the still continuing verbal exchange between Donald Trump and Khizr Khan, the Muslim father of a U.S. military Captain killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq, and this week's Trump/Clinton campaign developments.

Hillary Clinton apresentou na Convenção Nacional do Partido Democrata, quando se oficializou como candidata à presidência americana, Khizr Khan, pai do capitão do Exército Humayun Khan, herói de guerra muçulmano na Guerra do Iraque. Pelo que vimos pela mídia, Donald Trump teria "ofendido" os pais deste herói, que pediu votos para Hillary Clinton e garantiu que ama a Constituição americana e até tinha uma cópia do livro em seu bolso. A coisa foi tão grave que Trump, até então aparecia liderando por questão de 6 pontos na maioria das pesquisas de intenção de votos na América, de repente se viu perdendo para Hillary, às vezes por até 10 pontos. Pode ser o grande turning point de sua campanha. Isto mal foi noticiado pela imprensa brasileira, quando foi. Todavia, a situação real se mostra muito mais complexa do que a divergência entre o pai de um herói de guerra muçulmano perfeitamente integrado à América e um obscurantista fanático, autoritário e maluco. Não à toa, o fato na América gerou uma brutal polêmica. Informe-se e saiba por que neste episódio do Guten Morgen, o podcast do Senso Incomum!

What is the real story behind Khizr Khan and his Pro-Islam attack on Donald Trump? On today's TRUNEWS, host Rick Wiles talks with Walid Shoebat, as the the connections between the so-called 'Gold Star' father, The Muslim Brotherhood and their 'Pedophile Prophet' are laid bare. In Part 2, Rick speaks with Edward Szall, who is on assignment in Jacksonville, Florida at a Trump event.

While Democrats are patting themselves on the back after Khizr Khan’s speech, does their embrace actually go deeper than the surface? Is the Democratic Party actually doing as good a job with communities of color as prominent Democrats claim? And has Donald Trump finally gone over the line? Maria Hinojosa leads a discussion with Linda Sarsour, prominent civil rights activist, Terrell J. Starr, National Political Correspondent for Fusion, and Julio Ricardo Varela, Political Editor for the Futuro Media Group.

Donald Trump is facing backlash over his Twitter comments about Khizr Khan, but Mark thinks the story that should be on everybody’s mind is Hillary’s selective memory.

Donald Trump has seized the momentum in the presidential race, but the media machine is fighting back in earnest. Can a lockstep media carry Hillary across the finish line, even though 68% of Americans feel she is not "honest and trustworthy"? And with 70% of Americans convinced America is "headed in the wrong direction," can the Left entice voters to stick with a Democrat Establishment candidate? Or are their narratives now formally collapsing? We further review the controversy over Khizr Khan's speech to the DNC and consider its constitutional components. Also, we make note of the Koch Brothers Globalist Big Donor Puppetry meeting in Colorado Springs, as we encourage our libertarian friends to consider the "practical libertarianism" of Thomas Jefferson. Plus our review of the excellent new Jason Bourne action movie. With Listener Calls and Music via AC/DC, BTO, 10cc, Moby and the Tamba Trio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Trump takes the lead in the national polls, will Hillary Clinton get a catch-up "bounce" out of last week's Democratic National Convention? Why is Hillary drawing such small crowds to her events in Pennsylvania? We visit with John Andrews, who describes the full-house energized Trump Rally in Denver as beyond anything he's seen in his decades in politics. We sense panic on the Left -- which might explain the full-tilt push against Trump in the media, which is now busily promoting the McCarthyist conspiracy theories of the Clinton campaign. We note the grave contrasts in media treatment of Pat Smith, who lost her son in Benghazi, with that of Khizr Khan, who lost his son in Iraq. Will the DNC "fantasy America" narratives prevail in November? Plus, thoughts on Trump's "winning" temperament, the future of SCOTUS, and the latest controversies involving Megyn Kelly and Fox News.

Donald Trump making headline news over what is described as his criticism and insult toward the father of Humayun Khan, a Muslim Army Captain killed in Iraq in 2004, by a suicide bomber.  The father, Khizr Khan at the Democratic Party Convention said Trump has "sacrificed nothing and no one" and offered to lend Donald Trump his copy of the U.S. Constitution. Trump's response on ABC TV was "I think I've made lots of sacrifices. I work very, very hard" and raised millions for military veterans. Trump also questioned why Mrs. Khan didn't speak, saying "maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say, you tell me." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Trump a racist appealing to white voters and building his campaign on racism and fear?  Or is he nothing of the sort?  Are you a Donald Trump supporter and do you believe you are accused of being a racist because you support him? -  Marlene Hope retired from the Calgary Police Service in August of 2015 as a Detective. Prior to that rank she had been a Sergeant and a 26 year veteran of the CPS. For the first time anywhere, Marlene Hope joins Roy to declare the Calgary Police Service as a "broken" entity where bullying, intimidation and fear are a daily reality. Guests: Marlene Hope, retired Detective, Calgary Police Service, and Patricia Ferris, psychologist in Calgary - The NDP government filed a "bizarre" lawsuit this week against power companies, including utilities which are owned, or partly owned by the cities of Calgary and Edmonton in order to stop the companies from backing out of power contracts which have been made less profitable by Alberta's increased carbon costs (taxes, closing of coal powered power generation). The lawsuit names the province's own regulatory agency, the Alberta Utilities Commission for "unlawfully" agreeing in 2000 to terms which allow termination of so-called Power Purchase Arrangements "if a change in law renders the PPA unprofitable, or more unprofitable." Basically, the NDP government is suing its own agency and power companies for reacting to provincial regulations which drive up the price of power and reduce profits.

On Thursday at the DNC, Muslim-American, Khizr Khan, spoke of his son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed by a car bomb in 2004 while guarding the gates of his base in Iraq, saving the lives of his fellow soldiers and civilians. Khan's son was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. At the DNC, Khan said Trump has "sacrificed nothing and no one."  Khan moved into the national spotlight after he pulled out a pocket copy of the Constitution during his speech at the Democratic National Convention - asserting that Trump should try & read the U.S. Constitution some time. He said Trump would have barred his Muslim family from entering the United States. “If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America,” Khizr Khan, the soldier's father, said. “He vows to build walls, and ban us from this country.” 

I criticize the Democratic National Convention, as I did with the Republicans. I talked about the laughable Bill Clinton speech, got into the Khizr Khan controversy, dopey Antonio Villaraigosa, and all the rest. Then, sick of politics, I give details on the day to day life of Pararescue selection, and what the candidate can expect from one of the world's toughest military selection courses.
