But not everyone sees a downside: “I fully expect we're going to see some benefit from it,” Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes said this week of these and other flashpoints. Andrew Cockburn, Washington editor of Harper's Magazine and author of “The Spoils of War: Power, Profit and the American War Machine,” discusses the US arms industry's role in promoting and profiting from today's global conflicts, from Ukraine to Yemen to Syria. Cockburn also looks back on his groundbreaking 1988 PBS documentary, made with his wife Leslie Cockburn, “Guns, Drugs, and the CIA,” about the agency's role in the global drug trade. Guest: Andrew Cockburn. Washington editor for Harper's Magazine. His latest book is “The Spoils of War: Power, Profit and the American War Machine.”

Today is the day! A record number of women have stepped up to run this election. We're telling their stories. We covered why women run less and how their motivation to run differs from their male counterparts. We talked about money, race, and religion in politics. We dove into the differences between the two biggest political parties and we examined how incredible women are upending historical stereotypes. This week, we bring it all together. Host Jenny Kaplan tells the stories of Lucy McBath a Democrat running in GA-06 and Leslie Cockburn, a Democrat running in VA-05.

Our ambitious summer schedule went haywire, so we’re attempting to harness technology and record remotely, capping off a horrible week that brought us Bigfoot erotica, vomit fraud, fast-food lifestyle brands, men bound together in a web of fleece vests, and a 3,000-year-old coffin that may or may not have put a curse on the people of Egypt.
