You can't get past page 6 of the Mueller Report without laughing your ass off (unless you're clueless or a Marxist).  Benedict Bob Mueller lists Konstantin Kilimnik as a Russian intelligence asset even though by 2018 Mueller had HUNDREDS of pages of State Department documents that disclose how central Kilimnik was to EVERYTHING in Ukraine and Russia.  (Another person thrown under Baghdad Bob's bus because Kilimnik knows where the FBI buried the bodies.) Q: What the hell was Mueller's source to arrive at his "findings"???   PS-Mueller still has no idea what FusionGPS is.

Booster boondoggle. The legacy of Colin Powell. Oleg Deripaska raided, and the record set straight about Konstantin Kilimnik. Trump gives testimony, and files suit. Chinese and North Korean nuke scaries. The FDA makes an about face on vaping, and you'll never guess what big business they're supporting (it rhymes w Big Tobacco). More concerning inflation and economic indicators. And what are the Murdaugh murders?

Scott is joined by author James Bradley. They discuss how foolish the Russiagate story was from the beginning before getting into China. Bradley explains how the entire American understanding of China is flawed. That the average American's perception of China is the result of a mirage or fictional narrative we've been fed for many decades. Bradley argues that no rational look at China makes them out to be the threat they're portrayed to be. And that, instead, the greatest threat comes from the American aggression that results from these false stories.  Discussed on the show: Scott's interview with Jeffery Carr - July 2016 “Konstantin Kilimnik, Russiagate's Last Fall Guy, Speaks Out” (TK News) James Bradley is the author of Flags of Our Fathers, Flyboys, The China Mirage, and many others.

In this episode we discuss a new Grand Jury appointed in New York to go after Trump. We chat merrily about how Russian Intelligence cooordinated their "meddling" in the 2016 election directly with the Trump Campaign. We look at the political news from America in the last four weeks. Hop on board for fun and adventure!!!!! Seriously, we talked about a million things...I'm in Melbourne Australia and I'm locked down in my house. The cat is starting to freak me out. Its following me. My dog immediately senses conflict. Please take that into consideration as we laugh at the political news in America and watch Netflix.

In the last year, US government, intelligence, and Congressional bodies have accused former Paul Manafort aide Konstantin Kilimnik of being a "Russian intelligence officer" or "Russian influence agent" who passed secret Trump campaign polling data to Russia in 2016. The FBI has even issued a $250,000 reward for Kilimnik's arrest on a lowly witness tampering charge -- more than double the amount for six murderers on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. In exclusive audio excerpts, Konstantin Kilimnik talks to Aaron Maté about the explosive -- and evidence-free -- US government claims about him. Despite his supposed central role in the Trump-Russia saga, Kilimnik says that no US government investigator has ever contacted him. He believes it's his Russian passport, not any actual evidence, that put him in the US intelligence crosshairs. To make the Russiagate narrative work, Kilimnik says, "they needed a f-----g Russian. I happen to be that f------g Russian." Guest: Konstantin Kilimnik. Ukrainian-Russian political consultant and former aide to Paul Manafort. Wanted by the FBI on a $250,000 bounty for a witness tampering indictment in the Mueller investigation. Neither the FBI or Mueller probe ever contacted him.

Glenn Greenwald and Aaron Maté discuss the predictable demise of the "Russian bounties"; the Biden administration's new evidence-free assertion that Paul Manafort associate Konstantin Kilimnik passed Trump campaign polling data to Russia; and why major US media outlets continue to parrot Russiagate disinformation no matter how many times the "bombshells" turn into duds.

The Biden administration just revealed additional proof that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian intelligence to cheat/gain unfair advantage in the 2016 presidential election. It turns our that Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign chairman, provided confidential polling data and campaign strategy information to Konstantin Kilimnik who then provided it to Russian intelligence. But even more important than the substance of the information is the Biden administration's decision to release the information to the American public. Here's why the decision to disclose the information may have us trending toward justice.   For our newly launched Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise shop, please visit: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkirschner/Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at:  https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerMy podcast, "Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner" can be downloaded where you get your podcasts.Follow me on:Twitter:  https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirschner2Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/glennkirschner)

Former Trump 2016 campaign deputy chair Rick Gates was once widely portrayed as the key Mueller witness who would expose Trump-Russia collusion. Gates' testimony ended up seriously undermining the collusion conspiracy theory, but that has done little to undo the media narrative. Gates joins Pushback to debunk several key Russiagate conspiracy theories: that Konstantin Kilimnik is a Russian spy; that Paul Manafort served Russian interests in Ukraine; and that Roger Stone gave the Trump campaign advance notice on Wikileaks' release of stolen Democratic Party emails. Guest: Rick Gates. Former Trump 2016 deputy campaign chairman, cooperating witness in the Mueller investigation, and author of "Wicked Game: An Insider's Story on How Trump Won, Mueller Failed, and America Lost."

Proof of Corruption: Bribery, Impeachment, and Pandemic in the Age of Trump by Seth Abramson SethAbramson.net This stunning third entry in Seth Abramson's epic, New York Times bestselling Proof series reveals the harrowing scope of Trump bribery schemes involving COVID-19, the 2020 presidential election, and collusion with foreign officials in China, Ukraine, Turkey, Israel, Venezuela, Hungary, and Russia. Proof of Corruption traces in exacting detail the clandestine schemes of Trump and his cadre of agents and advisers from 2015 onward, with a special emphasis on Michael Cohen, Donald Trump Jr., Sean Hannity, Bill Barr, Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani, Erik Prince, Michael Flynn, Lev Parnas, Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Mick Mulvaney, Devin Nunes, Rick Perry, Mike Pompeo, Gordon Sondland, John Solomon, and Joe diGenova, as well as the president's most powerful foreign allies, including Vladimir Putin, Recep Erdogan, Benjamin Netanyahu, Xi Jinping, Mohammed bin Salman, Mohammed bin Zayed, Dmitry Firtash, Oleg Deripaska, Konstantin Kilimnik, Viktor Shokin, Yuri Lutsenko, and many others. While the facts of each Trump bribery scandal are complex, the pattern of corruption remains the same, whether it involves Trump seeking to appease Vladimir Putin by returning Ukraine's energy industry to Kremlin control; Trump freezing aid to Ukraine to extort bogus "intelligence" on Joe Biden from corrupt Ukrainian prosecutors; Trump escalating a trade war with China while privately cutting election-dirt deals with Xi Jinping; Trump ignoring November 2019 intelligence warning of a dangerous virus outbreak in China due to his business interests in Beijing; or Trump promoting a dangerous and ineffective treatment for COVID-19 at the behest of his richest campaign donors. With Donald Trump, all roads lead (by design) to personal enrichment. Sometimes he's seeking to fill his 2020 reelection coffers, and sometimes his illicit self-dealing and epic corruption center on his personal business relationships; sometimes the crimes and their subsequent cover-ups are domestic, and sometimes they're international. But the audacity of Trump's offenses and the need for byzantine schemes to hide them remains the same. With thousands of citations from the world's most respected media outlets, Proof of Corruption tells the story of a bribery and election-tampering scheme that crosses years and stretches from China to Ukraine, Turkey to Venezuela, Hungary to Israel, Russia to Saudi Arabia. It is a plot that empowers America's adversaries to author U.S. foreign policy and tamper with our elections even as it frees Donald Trump to replace America's national interest with his own. Proof of Corruption reveals a harrowing pattern of international and domestic bribery that is shocking, criminal, and a clear and present danger to America. Seth Abramson is a former criminal defense attorney and criminal investigator who teaches digital journalism, legal advocacy, and cultural theory at the University of New Hampshire. A regular political and legal analyst on CNN and the BBC during the Trump presidency, he is the author of eight books and editor of five anthologies. Abramson is a graduate of Dartmouth College, Harvard Law School, the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and the Ph.D. program in English at University of Wisconsin-Madison. He lives in New Hampshire with his wife and two one-year-old rescue hounds, Quinn and Scout.

Four years on, litigation of the 2016 presidential election continues. Not doing so is a tacit acceptance of other countries' ability to skew results of the United States' elections.This week, the Senate Intelligence Committee released the fifth and final volume of its report on Russian interference. It's nearly 1,000-pages and mostly takes a look back. But it's filled with clear warnings for this election. Related: Trump campaign's Russia contacts 'grave' threat, reportSen. Mark Warner is a Democrat from Virginia and the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He joins The World's host Marco Werman to discuss the report and its lessons for 2020. Related: Russia rejects accusations of spreading virus disinformationMarco Werman: One of the most stunning conclusions of this report is that Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime associate of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, was in fact, a career spy for the Russians. And that conclusion goes a lot further than the Mueller report, and yet it doesn't seem to have caused much of a stir. Do you think that's an astounding revelation? Mark Warner: Well, I think every American should read of the absolutely stunning number of contacts between Russians, Russian agents and members of the Trump campaign. And in reference to Mr. Kilimnik and Mr. Manafort, we know Manafort passed over insider campaign information, polling information, as reported in the report. What the Russians did with that, how they used it, we may never know. Related: How relying on electronic voting machines puts us at riskDo you believe Manafort joined the Trump campaign for the express purpose of selling information from inside to the Russians? Again, I would ask every American to read it and draw their own conclusions. I mean, clearly, there were more contacts, connections than had been previously reported. I think we've got a pretty comprehensive picture. And what worries me the most is that we're now 70-plus days away from another election. And unfortunately, our country and the White House, in particular, have not done enough to prevent Russia or other nations from intervening in the next presidential election as well. Related: This ex-MP wants US politicians to 'stop playing the Ukrainian card' Americans should read this 1,000-page report, but it is heavily redacted. It's really hard to tell what is incriminating at times. And it falls in the midst of this distracting pandemic. Are you worried that this is just going to be a headline this week and then will disappear? I am worried about that. And I think people are a bit exhausted with the pandemic, with a president that makes no even pretense of trying to slow down people's right to vote using the mail. So, there is a little bit of an exhaustion here. I would remind listeners that 10 days ago, the American intelligence community said Russia will be back. Other nations like China and Iran are also trying to interfere in our elections. One of the things that bother me is while social media companies have gotten better — even the Department of Homeland Security has gotten better in terms of protecting our election security — the US Congress, because we've not had the ability in the Senate to vote on legislation, has not passed a single law to prevent foreign interference. A Russian entity could still advertise on Facebook and not disclose who is really behind it. If a political campaign was offered dirt at a presidential level on another candidate, there would not be an affirmative obligation to tell the FBI. And I think that is a grave error that we've not put better rules of the road in place to prevent Russians or others from interfering in our elections. The report does delve into what's going on now. Can you give us a couple of examples from the report that you found most concerning when we're talking about the 2020 general election? There are Russian disinformation campaigns aimed at discrediting Vice President Biden. My job now is to keep the pressure on the intelligence community to become even more forthcoming with more information, more names about what we've learned so that we don't repeat the mistake of 2016, where, I think, if the intelligence community had been more forthcoming about the Russian interference, more Americans would have been on guard. We see in other nations like Sweden, like the Baltic nations, where the Russians also try to intervene, the best defense oftentimes is a well-educated electorate about Russian tactics. Again, given the heavily redacted parts of this report, isn't that a big loss for state and local officials who are trying to prepare for electronic hacking and foreign interference? I do think the intelligence community is always reluctant to give up information. That's a constant struggle. I was hoping this report would have actually been out at the beginning of summer, but it was a laborious process to negotiate with the intelligence community about what needed to be redacted. Let's say there is a new administration in 2021. Should the information in this report be followed up on? Should criminal prosecutions be pursued? Well, I'll leave that to the Justice Department. But I do think in the era of social media, in a world that is so electronically connected, the ability of foreign powers to hack into different systems, the ability to use techniques like deepfakes or your face or mine or a politician's face could appear online and not be that person, frankly, is a much more effective and much more cheap way of doing conflict with the United States than trying to conduct them simply as military exercises. I think this is the world that we live in, and I think it would be very important that a future Biden administration would take this threat more seriously. Suppose it's a future Trump administration, too. Would you leave the decision on the prosecution to the current Justice Department headed by Attorney General William Barr? I have no confidence in Attorney General Barr that he's anything other than Mr. Trump's some kind of personal confidant. You're privy to a lot of intelligence, Sen. Warner. Are you getting a good night's sleep as we approach November? I toss and turn a lot, but as we've seen from other nations, the best defense against foreign nation meddling is a well-educated electorate. And I'm not sure, particularly when we've got a White House that continues to deny that Russian intervention took place in 2016, or continues to take place in 2020, we're not getting that well-educated electorate. This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity. 

Xochitl Hinojosa from The Democratic Convention gives an overview of the goals and themes of Joe Biden's upbeat diverse launch.Never in the history of the United States has there been widespread violence perpetrated by the followers of a president - until now with Donald Trump. It’ll be interesting to see how many more of these people show up at the Republican convention next week. Thom welcomes Ben Wikler, long time activist and chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, which would have hosted the national convention in Milwaukee- how does he think the online convention is going?- and will his state be a tipping point once again in the electoral college?Plus - checking in with Ohio... the security of drop boxes... how Trump might respond to losing... Bringing in UN election observers...

This week, House Democrats released transcripts of eight depositions, and announced a schedule for public hearings next week. As support for impeachment plateaued, Democrats tentatively planned to fast-track hearings, with a vote on articles of impeachment before the holiday break. Republicans meanwhile, careened from varying defenses of Trump, from it was not a bad quid pro quo, to he is not competent enough to carry out quid pro quo, to targeting witnesses and the whistleblower, to considering sacrificing a fall guy in Trump's stead. The Mueller probe was again back in the news, as the Justice Department released FBI 302 summary reports of interviews, and the trial of Roger Stone got underway. Documents revealed the source of the conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election was actually Konstantin Kilimnik, an employee of Paul Manafort who the FBI determined has ties to Russian intelligence. Stone and Trump's possible involvement in seeking emails stolen by Russia from WikiLeaks was also back in the spotlight. Election night provided victories for Democrats, taking control of the Virginia legislature for the first time in 26 years, winning the governorship of red state Kentucky, and historic victories in the suburbs of Philadelphia. As we head toward the 2020 election, U.S. intelligence again warned of election interference underway, something that Trump, and Republicans who continue to block legislation to protect voting, oddly seem to welcome.

Comedian and "Redacted Tonight" host Lee Camp joins me to discuss the anticlimactic end to the RussiaGate saga as embodied by Robert Mueller's lethargic Congressional testimony. Camp highlights some of the big moments from the hearing including questions around Joseph Mifsud and Konstantin Kilimnik, as well as the fact that a federal judge scolded Mueller's team about the lack of evidence tying the Internet Research Agency to the Russian government. We also talk about the 2020 US presidential race, monetary policy, Bitcoin, the Green Party and the independent voices who are breaking through the nonstop stream of corporate propaganda.Get access to the early episodes of PRIMO NUTMEG for only $1 a month on Patreon: https://patreon.com/primonutmegSubscribe to PRIMO NUTMEG on YouTube, SoundCloud, and iTunes!https://www.primonutmeg.com/ https://youtube.com/c/primonutmeg/ https://soundcloud.com/primonutmeg https://facebook.com/primonutmeg/ https://twitter.com/primonutmeg/ https://instagram.com/primonutmeg/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/primonutmeg)

On this special edition of Fault Lines, hosts Lee Stranahan and Garland Nixon preview Robert Mueller's day of Congressional testimony which is followed up by analysis of Mueller's answers to questions from the House Judiciary Committee. Did Mueller do himself any good in this appearance, and what does this teach us about the RussiaGate saga?Guests:Ted Rall - Political Cartoonist & Syndicated Columnist | The Political Implications of RussiaGateDaniel McAdams - Executive Director of the 'Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity' | Expectations for Mueller's Testimony & How US Foreign Policy is Viewed in Washington DCEugene Puryear - Co-Host of 'By Any Means Necessary' | Mueller Testimony Analysis & Main TakeawaysSean Blackmon - Co-Host of 'By Any Means Necessary' | Mueller Testimony Analysis & Main TakeawaysPrior to Mueller's testimony, the hosts are joined by Political Cartoonist Ted Rall to talk about their expectations for today's hearings and what questions would actually be of benefit to the American people should they be asked by members of Congress. They also discuss what Democrats are thinking at this stage of the RussiaGate story, the impact of RussiaGate on Democratic voters, and how short term thinking has driven many political decisions connected to this affair.For the second segment, Daniel McAdams, Executive Director of the 'Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity,' joins 'Fault Lines' for the first time to give his predictions for what to expect today from Mueller and if there is serious chance that these hearings backfire on Democrats. They also talk about comparisons between how Ron Paul and Tulsi Gabbard have been treated as Presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton's management of US foreign policy and the State Department while serving as Secretary of State, and how the military-industrial-complex impacts the economy of the Washington DC area.Just prior to Mueller's hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Eugene Puryear and Sean Blackmon of 'By Any Means Necessary' join Garland and Lee in-studio to talk about how the Mueller Investigation has impacted public opinion and how the mainstream media has used narratives connected to RussiaGate to increase ratings and online clicks. Why was the RussiaGate story great for the modern 24-hour cable news cycle, and what does media coverage of these events tell us about the state of the news media?Following Mueller's appearance in front of the House Judiciary Committee, Garland, Lee, Eugene, and Sean all gather together again to provide rapid analysis to Mueller's testimony and to respond to some of the noteworthy audio sound clips from this hearing. Did Democrats gain any ground with efforts to push for the impeachment of President Trump, under what context were both Konstantin Kilimnik and Joseph Mifsud brought up, and how did both Republicans and Democrats view Mueller's appearance in front of Congress from a political standpoint?

The Golden Age of Intelligence. Democrats & Media seem to worship their Spooks. Supercharged Beltway Bureaucrats, unelected controllers of the secrets. Lee Smith of Tablet Magazine observes that "spies are the new journalists" and they're "turning journalism into an intelligence operation." MSM as one big PSYOP on the American people. We review HBO's new "Chernobyl" mini-series, which depicts stark failures of Soviet Communism in their KGB-dominated culture. We trace the ironies of Putin as a former KGB man in the USSR to the American media's habit of placing our own spies on pedestals. The truth about SpyGate will have to be forced out of the Deep State, much like the truth of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster had to be forced out of the KGB. Meanwhile, as British Spy Christopher Steele prepares to talk to John Durham of the DOJ, CNN's CIA man Phil Mudd expects a "car wreck." Joe diGenova says it's "great news." Sara Carter surmises Steele has cut some sort of "immunity deal." Definite ill-omens for Obama's corrupt FBI. Devin Nunes says "dirty cops" Comey and McCabe make "Hoover look like a saint." Rep. Mark Meadows talks accountability and IG Horowitz with Maria Bartiromo. Rachel Maddow's "Konstantin Kilimnik" montage. Nigel Farage says Trump's visit to England "couldn't have gone better." Did Trump and the Queen preserve the Special Relationship? End-run around MI6? John Cleese on the fall of London. The Decline of Drudge. Baby Shark again.

Tariffs Work. President Trump builds American Sovereignty, maneuvers brilliantly on border and trade issues with Mexico. Can somebody explain how all this works to Colorado Senator Cory Gardner? Callers keep on blasting Gardner's 'Donors First, America Last' approach to holding office. Meanwhile, SpyGate On the Brink. John Solomon reveals Konstantin Kilimnik as an American asset. So why did Team Mueller portray Kilimnik as an agent of Russia? And why did Mueller pull the same stunt with Western spook Joseph Mifsud? The Italians are cracking. Spy Steele announces he'll talk to DOJ. Mueller informant George Nader gets arrested and indicted. General Flynn goes on offense, fires his old legal team. Joe diGenova ready to take over? Plus, Senator Rand Paul denounces the Deep State for defying President Trump's orders to revoke CIA John Brennan's security clearance. How did that happen? Who runs this country anyways? Notes on the evils of unelected power. Also, Attorney General Barr compares his second term as AG to "jumping into Sainte-Mere-Eglise" on June 5th, 1944. We sample a portion of Trump's speech at Normandy honoring the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Aaron Maté, a journalist for The Nation and The Grayzone, and a former host and producer at Democracy Now and The Real News.A new report reveals not only that key Russiagate figure Konstantin Kilimnik was not a so-called Russian government agent, but that he was in fact a US State Department source. And, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team knew about this for more than the past year. US and Russian warships came within 165 feet of each other earlier today, and each country blames the other for the near collision. Accidents happen -- but when tensions between countries are as high as they are now in this new Cold War, even small mishaps can start unnecessary war. Mark Sleboda, an international affairs and security analyst, joins the show.President Trump this week criticized the war in Vietnam, a sentiment that many Americans share. Rather than concentrate on keeping America out of more wars, CNN took him to task about his comments and his not having served in the military, noting that many soldiers don’t want to serve but “it is the call of their country.” Brian and John speak with Jim Kavanagh, editor in chief of thepolemicist.net. It’s Friday! So it’s time for the week’s worst and most misleading headlines. Brian and John speak with Steve Patt, an independent journalist whose critiques of the mainstream media have been a feature of his site Left I on the News and on twitter @leftiblog, and Sputnik producer Nicole Roussell.Friday is Loud & Clear’s weekly hour-long segment The Week in Review, about the week in politics, policy, and international affairs. Will Trump impose new tariffs on Mexico as Mexico scrambles to meet his demands to stem asylum seekers from reaching the US/Mexico border? We also talk about the newest developments in the US efforts to overthrow the government of Venezuela, the falsification of history on this the 75th anniversary of D-Day (specifically negating the role of the Soviet Union), and Joe Biden’s flip flop on abortion rights and what it means for his campaign. Dan Kovalik, a human rights and labor lawyer who is the author of the book “The Plot to Overthrow Venezuela: How the US is Orchestrating a Coup for Oil,” and Sputnik News analyst and producer of this show Nicole Roussell, joins Brian and John.

This week Trump struggled to create stagecraft and find narratives to justify funding for his border wall, while keeping the government shuttered. Trump delivered a prime-time Oval Office address, visited the U.S.-Mexico border, and held an immigration round-table to make his case, while the reality of the shutdown hurt federal workers and contractors, and agencies started to cut back or cease operations and functions. This was a week of bombshells on the Trump-Russia front, as an inadvertently unredacted filing by Paul Manafort's attorneys revealed Manafort had delivered 2016 president campaign polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik, who the FBI believes has ties to Russian intelligence. Michael Cohen set a date to testify before the House, and Natalie Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer with ties to the Kremlin who attended the June 9 Trump Tower meeting was back in the news. Late Friday, a bombshell story by the Times revealed the FBI had opened an inquiry in May 2017 into whether Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow's influence.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Jacqueline Luqman, the co-editor-in-chief of Luqman Nation, which hosts a livestream every Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. on Facebook, and by Sputnik news analysts Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek.Wednesday’s weekly series, In the News, is where the hosts look at the most important ongoing developments of the week and puts them into perspective. Their conversation includes the televised address about the wall and the shutdown last night, the coup in Gabon, and the outrage over an organization rescinding a civil rights award to Angela Davis. Wednesday’s regular segment, Beyond Nuclear, is about nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, and Sputnik news analyst and producer Nicole Roussell, join the show. President Trump’s Oval Office speech last night calling for $5 billion to construct a wall along the border with Mexico apparently did nothing to bring politicians on Capitol Hill any closer together. Meanwhile, with no end to the government shutdown in sight, Republicans in both the House and Senate are beginning to break away from the President. Brian and John speak with Dave Lindorff, an investigative reporter and founder of This Can’t Be Happening!, as well as a columnist for CounterPunch, and a contributor to the London Review of Books, The Nation, Extra! Tarbell, and Salon.com. Teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District are set to go on strike tomorrow after years of frustration over class sizes, salaries, and a shortage of nurses and school counselors. The district has made several offers, but the teachers union says they don’t go far enough. So barring a last-minute deal, 32,000 teachers will walk off the job tomorrow. Cecily Myart-Cruz, a teacher in the LA Unified School District for 23 years and the Vice President of United Teachers Los Angeles/National Education Association, the teachers union, joins the show. Newly declassified information suggests that CIA Director Gina Haspel was in charge of a secret CIA base at the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, a site notorious around the world for torture of detainees. If true, the revelation shows a much deeper involvement in CIA torture than Haspel has so far admitted to. Attorneys for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort made a critical error yesterday when they filed motions in federal court and accidentally revealed that Manafort had met in 2016 with Konstantin Kilimnik, and passed him polling data. But once again, crucial details are being left out of the mainstream media narrative. Daniel Lazare, a journalist and author of three books—“The Frozen Republic,” “The Velvet Coup,” and “America's Undeclared War,” joins the show.States and localities across the country are expanding healthcare access to their residents, despite the fact that Republicans at the federal level are still seeking to weaken or do away with the Affordable Care Act. Single-payer healthcare is a widely popular idea, but what is the best way to go about achieving it? Brian and John speak with Dr. Margaret Flowers, a medical doctor and the co-coordinator of Popular Resistance, at PopularResistance.org.

In this rapid-response episode, Thomas and Andrew take a look at the Trump administration's recently-announced tariffs on China, China's response, and the future of free trade. In the pre-show segment, it's time for a lengthy Andrew Was Wrong segment.  From .22s to time zones, Andrew cops to the things he got wrong last week, ending with a discussion of the emoluments lawsuit discussed in Episode 160.
