David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have all sorts of new things to tell you and each other! In Florida, Oliver G. Gilbert III wins the Democratic primary. He will now go against Te Brown, who completely denies her resemblance to any wanted posters you might have seen. Dem Annie Andrews leads Gop Darline Graham in polls. It'd be embarrassing if she didn't. The only worse candidate to lose to would be Ken Paxton, so awful and lazy that he would need Texas to ban voting in order to win. Why just cripple voting in Texas? Destroying mail-in voting destroys voting, period. Walmart Moms have been determined to not like high prices, AI, and corruption in government, unlike, well, no one. Democrats are enthusiastic to vote. Ed Markey, older than Trump and/or dirt, is still regarded warmly. Dems are in such a strong position that one could be in a predominate position performing in the weakest, dumbest way imaginable and still not budge the midterms. Mike Johnson can support Max Miller because it's hard to make Gops look worse. Anyhow, it isn't like Max is abusing your family. Republicans blame the backlash on data centers on AI. Be the envy of your neighborhood, put a data center in your backyard! Gops rush to install data centers before the bubble bursts or they lose their job, whichever comes first. Tractors, trucks, trains, ships, and the economy run on diesel. Both parties make the easy decision to move any hard decisions about the budget until after the election. It turns out that focusing on deporting allowed more drugs to be smuggled in. Also, secret employment of social media influencers is an unlawful covert action. Who knew? Alejandro Betancourt made billions after he listed "Conspirator 2" on his LinkedIn page. Canada does not play by either mob, or pro-wrestling rules, confusing Donald, who's suddenly quite interested in bowling alleys, and having taxpayers pay for them.

Drawing a line back to 2020 and the stretch between election night and January 6th, Hawk argues the difference now is planning. He points to reporting that ICE is building a multimillion dollar national voter database, to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin saying agents could appear at polling places, and to a New York Times account of federal agents combing state voter rolls without warrants. The warning extends past election day. Hawk lays out the Senate and House math, the risk that batches of mail ballots from Democratic cities could be thrown out, the Tarrant County move to close polling sites, and the January 3rd handoff when a House clerk could shape who gets seated. His closing point is blunt: the courts are the last line, and they may not move fast enough.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 1, 2026. We open by pushing back on the "black pill" defeatism creeping into GOP circles ahead of the midterms, weighing Speaker Mike Johnson's optimism and 55-city campaign push against the Cook Political Report's toss-up numbers, and why the redistricting fights of the last two years mean history alone won't decide who holds the House in 2026. From there we run through the Top 3 things you need to know: nine more pharmaceutical companies signing onto Trump's most-favored-nation drug pricing plan, ICE's Operation Rotten Apple sweep that netted 2,100 arrests of criminal illegal aliens in New York City, and Florida's statewide ban on flock license-plate cameras over data privacy concerns. We turn it over to our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, who take on a listener question about the viral clip of Ashley Judd and her conservative stepdad staying close despite being worlds apart politically, and why the media keeps pushing Americans to cut off family over disagreements instead of staying in relationship with the people they love. Digging Deep, we cover Georgetown's newly updated 2026 National Firearm Survey, breaking down who actually owns guns in America, how often they're used defensively, and why the numbers undercut a lot of the usual narratives around AR-15s, high-capacity magazines, and who's arming themselves. We also touch on a Cedar Hill, Texas bank robbery stopped cold by an armed customer, Trump's push to rename American landmarks like the Gulf of America, and his Supreme Court appeal defending the administration's authority to remove transgender troops from military service.

John breaks down the news of the day, including Speaker Mike Johnson's announcement of a significant vote in Congress regarding the Supreme Court, Republican efforts to secure funding for midterm elections, and the Democrats' legislative agenda should they regain control.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

House Republicans just returned from five weeks in their districts, and there's already a rumor that they're about to pull an “Abe Simpson” — walk into Washington, turn around, and leave again. They'll vote on a Senate-approved stopgap funding bill to keep the government open through December, probably with Democratic support, and pass a few messaging bills about how they don't like socialism. Beyond that, expectations are low. They want to leave until November 9, after the midterms.The reasoning is simple: If they're not going to accomplish anything in this divided, fractious Congress, why stay? Republicans have such a thin majority that they can't agree on much or put Democrats on defense beyond the broadest, most useless bills. Their members would rather go home, campaign, press the flesh, shake hands, and kiss babies because they believe they're fighting for their political lives.The mood inside the Republican conference is bleak, bleak, bleak. One member holds a district Trump won by 10 points and the Republican candidate previously carried by 16. Their internal polling now has that Republican ahead by one point. Uno. These are the seats nobody treats as toss-ups until a wave turns them into toss-ups. Republicans are comparing their internal numbers in the hallways, and they don't like what they see.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In 2022, Republican leaders told members they'd win the House by 20 seats; they won by five. The rule of thumb for some members now is to take whatever leadership says and subtract 20. Leadership says Republicans will hold by five, so members are preparing for Democrats to win a 15-seat majority. If Trump-plus-10 districts are already looking like toss-ups, they want to be home doing everything possible to eke out a victory.They probably won't leave immediately. Going home would be a gigantic red flag from leadership, and fundraisers are already scheduled throughout Washington. Members might need time in their districts, but they also need money for television and streaming ads. That means showing up and giving face time to the people attending those fundraisers.The wild card is Big Chungus. If Trump says Congress should go home, Mike Johnson will face enormous pressure to disperse everybody. If Trump says members should remain in Washington, they'll stay. From everything I'm hearing, there isn't much good news on the Republican side. My personal barometer between WINO and My Blue Heaven is swinging left.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:29 - House Republicans00:12:53 - Update00:14:25 - Mail-in Ballots00:19:15 - Bonds00:21:51 - Ballroom00:25:46 - Interview with Riley Blanton01:12:43 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

G.K. opens this week's Mining the Media with two New Nuggets available exclusively at MiningTheMedia.com: an NIH-funded study finding that puberty blockers failed to improve youth mental health, and a striking comparison of the enormous land requirements of solar and wind energy versus nuclear power. Then G.K. brings Dave something he hadn't seen: "A Mike Johnson power move can neuter the DSA — and make Democrats pick a side." What political maneuver is the Speaker considering, and why could it force members of Congress to publicly choose between the Democratic Socialists of America and the broader Democratic Party? Then Dave takes the microphone for a deeply personal Crusty's Corner: "Who Had Access? — The Troubling Questions Surrounding Presidential Security." An armed man allegedly surveilled federal agents preparing for a presidential visit, falsely claimed to be part of a State Department security detail, and was later found with extensive writings reportedly containing schedules involving First Lady Melania Trump and Secret Service personnel. Drawing carefully upon decades of experience in military aviation, airspace management, homeland defense, and classified environments—without revealing what should remain protected—Dave asks the question that refuses to go away: How did he know? This isn't about exposing the secrets that protect America's First Family. It's about demanding that the people entrusted with those secrets determine whether they remained secret.

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy discuss: Donald Trump's bizarre move to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” as his attacks on Canada escalate and his regime desperately tries to distract from the economy, the Iran war, and depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles. The brothers break down Trump praising U.S. adversaries while attacking America's longtime allies, and the collapse of his much-hyped “Economic D-Day” threats against Iran. They also react to Speaker Mike Johnson's panicked warning about Republicans losing the midterms and what his comments reveal about the stakes of the election. Plus, Trump's latest Kennedy Center scheme, growing questions about America's military readiness, and much more on the brother show.

This week, Donald Trump aggressively highlighted a long screed from a MAGA influencer that sharply criticized the GOP for failing in all kinds of ways. This is aimed like a laser at depressing the Trump base. Making this matter more, Trump keeps saying stuff like this himself: He recently declared that his voters are not angry at him, they are angry at Republicans. Translation: Trump voters should hold the GOP accountable for failing him. This directly undercuts the GOP midterm strategy of campaigning on...the achievements of the GOP Congress. Note that Mike Johnson keeps attempting that strategy, only to see Trump undercut it again and again. We think this could actually matter, and to parse out why, we talked to Jennifer Rubin, editor-in-chief of The Contrarian. We discuss why Trump's attacks on the GOP really could make a huge difference in hard demographic terms, why Trump's political project requires him to keep doing this, and what Democrats must do now to avoid overconfidence and close out strong.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

We dive headfirst into the growing ideological shift inside the Democrat Party on The Dawn Stensland Show. Sitting in for Dawn, Dan Borowski and Matt Rooney break down how radical candidates are gaining traction nationwide, from outrageous social media stunts to progressive local policies that fail to fix everyday infrastructure. We tackle the growing influence of extreme left-wing agendas, how public education contributes to this shift, and why universal school choice remains the single most critical battleground for conservative families trying to protect the next generation. We sit down with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressman Tom Kane Jr. during their high-stakes swing through New Jersey's 7th Congressional District. Speaker Johnson breaks down why NJ-7 is one of the most vital toss-up seats in the country for the 2026 midterms and lays out the stark contrast between common-sense governance and creeping socialism. Congressman Kane highlights his legislative fights for middle-class SALT deduction relief, innovation tax cuts, and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime to make life affordable for tri-state families. Plus, we address the critical need for nationwide voter ID laws following troubling updates regarding non-citizens on state voter rolls. We take a hard look at the dangerous long-term consequences of sanctuary state policies. Reflecting on the lessons of the 9/11 Commission, we highlight how blocking communication between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities mirrors the exact structural breakdowns that preceded September 11th. We warn against repeating these catastrophic mistakes, pointing out how open borders and sanctuary status undermine national security, stretch local resources, and endanger law-abiding citizens across New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

HR1 - Falcons will have many position battles that will be decided tonight & that may include QB In hour one Mike, Ali, and Beau recap and react to the Atlanta Braves beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 last night in the final game of their three game series and completing the sweep thanks to a solo home run on the 1st pitch of the bottom of the 1st inning by catcher Drake Baldwin and a complete game shutout from starting pitcher Chris Sale. The Morning Shift crew also explained why they think the Braves have exceeded expectations so far this season despite the team's ups and downs this year. Ali, Mike, and Beau also preview the Atlanta Falcons final preseason game against the Miami Dolphins tonight in Miami, talk about how the Falcons position battles at cornerback and linebacker may be decided tonight in the preseason finale, react to the SEC announcing that schools that bring back NFL, NBA or WNBA players to their programs will face steep discipline under a new policy that was unanimously approved by the conference's 16 members, react to the ACC passing a resolution yesterday banning professionals from returning to college in football, plus men's and women's basketball, joining the other Power 4 conferences in setting forth eligibility enforcement, explain why they think a judge shouldn't be able to stop conferences from banning professional athletes attempting to return to college to play sports, and then close out hour one by diving into the life of Mike Johnson in Mike'd Up!

In Part 3 of my interview for his new book, No Prophets, Huffman explains how a fringe end-times theology became the carpet of the MAGA movement: the belief that the modern state of Israel must expand and trigger the end times — with Jews as a means to an end who must ultimately convert. We get into what most Christians never tell Jewish allies (the fine print), why Speaker Mike Johnson says "there is no West Bank," how Ambassador Mike Huckabee can claim Israel can take "the entire Middle East," and why Sen. Ted Cruz says Genesis settles foreign policy.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Congressman Jared Huffman (D-CA), author of No Prophets, we expose the "shadow theocracy" operating inside the U.S. government: the Capitol-based ministries shaping policy, Speaker Mike Johnson's theology of power, and Russell Vought's plan to turn the federal government into an instrument of Christian dominion — the blueprint behind Project 2025. Is the separation of church and state quietly being dismantled from the inside? Huffman maps the machinery — who's funding it, who's staffing it, and what it means for American democracy when theocracy stops being a metaphor.

The Senate sits at 53 to 47. Democrats need four seats for a majority. Realistic targets include Alaska, Texas, Ohio, Maine, Iowa, North Carolina, and possibly Kansas and Nebraska, while holding open seats in Michigan and Minnesota. The House is tighter than it looks: Southern redistricting after this year's Voting Rights Act ruling is projected to cost Democrats a dozen seats, so the real number is closer to twenty. That math is the whole argument. Narrow margins give an administration something to work with. Overwhelming ones do not. Hawk's concern is the window between election day and swearing in, and the fact that the officials who refused Trump in 2020 are gone. Pat Cipollone, Bill Barr, and career DOJ lawyers said no then. The outside lawyers who said yes were disbarred or indicted. Their equivalents now hold the offices. Democracy Docket is at democracydocket.com.

Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin joins Lisa Boothe to discuss the battle for the 2026 midterm elections, the affordability crisis facing American families, school choice, parents' rights and what he sees as the growing influence of socialism inside the Democratic Party. Youngkin, who won one of the country's most closely watched battleground races in Virginia in 2021, explains what Republicans need to do to win over voters in a difficult midterm environment. He argues that the GOP must acknowledge the pain Americans are feeling from inflation and higher gas prices while making a stronger case for its economic agenda. Youngkin also discusses his push to expand educational freedom and school choice through a federal tax credit that can help families pay for private school tuition, tutoring, transportation and additional educational services. He explains why he's pressuring Democratic governors to opt into the program and why he believes teachers unions remain one of the biggest obstacles to expanding parental choice. Lisa and Youngkin revisit the famous moment from the 2021 Virginia governor's race when Terry McAuliffe said he didn't believe parents should be telling schools what to teach. Youngkin explains why that moment crystallized a fundamental political divide over who should make decisions for America's children. Finally, Youngkin sounds the alarm over the ideological direction of the Democratic Party, arguing that socialists are winning its internal battle and that Republicans have an opportunity to contrast their agenda with the progressive left heading into November.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan reacted to the breaking news that the Atlanta Falcons have signed three-time Pro Bowl edge rusher/outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith. Mike, Ali, and Beau also earlier in the show reacted to the news about Smith working out for the Falcons and explained why they think Smith's tenacity would make him a good fit for Jeff Ulbrich and the Falcons defense.

“Most people do not understand that this attempted coup was a religious event.” — Congressman Jared Huffman on January 6 We've featured many stark warnings about the threat of American Christian nationalism from journalists, activists, and religious scholars. Today, that warning comes from inside the government. In No Prophets, Californian congressman Jared Huffman warns that the threat of Christian nationalism could destroy American democracy. Borrowing from Sinclair Lewis, Huffman argues that when fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross. For Huffman, it's not an abstract threat. On January 6, 2021, he watched something chillingly close to that theological nightmare unfold from his office on Capitol Hill. The attempted coup was a religious event, he insists. The insurrectionists were radicalized by the New Apostolic Reformation. These fanatics had rooms at the Willard beside Giuliani's war room, and they preached and prophesied as the riot unfolded. His Republican colleague Adam Kinzinger tells him Christian nationalism “wasn't just part of the insurrection. It was the whole story, the whole thing.” And yet the 845-page select committee report ignores this story because, Huffman charges, Liz Cheney personally intervened to erase it. “We are less safe today because of it,” he says. Like so many critics of Christian nationalism, Huffman had a religious upbringing. He grew up devout in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and then was ordained into its priesthood before losing his faith at twenty after his father's death. Today he is a self-described “humanist,” the co-founder of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, and the only member of Congress who admits to not believing in gods. It's an American intellectual tradition, he insists, that he shares with fellow religious skeptics like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison. Christian nationalism and the Republican Party, Jared Huffman insists, are now one and the same. Huffman might not believe in gods, but there's a biblical quality to his apocalyptic warnings. The prophet of No Prophets is putting all that religious training to good secular use. Five Takeaways •       January 6 Was a Religious Event. The book's foundational claim, witnessed from Huffman's Capitol Hill office: the insurrection was saturated with religious choreography — symbols, worship services, self-declared prophets exhorting the crowd. The mob was radicalized by groups like the New Apostolic Reformation, a virulent Christian supremacist movement committed to dominion by any means necessary; organizers held rooms at the Willard Hotel beside Giuliani's war room, were tasked by the Trump campaign with mobilizing right-wing Christians, and preached and prophesied on-site as the riot unfolded. The Smithsonian's Uncivil Religion exhibit documented it in real time, and Adam Kinzinger told Huffman that Christian nationalism “wasn't just part of the insurrection. It was the whole story, the whole thing.” Yet the select committee's 845-page report contains none of it — erased, Huffman charges, by Liz Cheney's personal intervention. “We are less safe today because of it.”•       The Endgame Is Theocracy. Trump and the movement are codependent: he mainstreamed fringe prophets into White House VIPs; they supplied mobilization power nothing else in American politics can match, and wrapped him in the “Cyrus anointing” — the mythology of a flawed pagan king used by God to save his chosen people. The Washington operation is Huffman's “shadow theocracy”: Ralph Drollinger's Capitol Ministries runs Bible studies teaching officeholders that God opposes taxes and the regulatory state but is keenly interventionist about the bedroom; Speaker Mike Johnson — who preaches “biblically sanctioned government,” rejects church-state separation outright, joined pre-January 6 prayer calls, and architected the legal effort to overturn 2020 — sits second in line to the presidency. Kinzinger's joke lands hard: the American Taliban. Are the Drollingers grifters or believers? Both, says Huffman — the two have never been mutually exclusive.•       Atwood Wasn't Writing Fiction. Huffman found The Handmaid's Tale chilling precisely because Atwood didn't invent Gilead — she reverse-engineered it from America's puritanical past and theocratic subcultures, and had it arrive gradually, through fake emergencies. The trad-wife future is already drafted: Pete Hegseth belongs to the TheoBros — the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, led by Idaho pastor Doug Wilson, who says the Nineteenth Amendment was a mistake and men should vote for the household — while radical traditionalist Catholics dream of a pre-Vatican II world of veils and submission. And don't try joking with any of them, Huffman warns: in this absolutist theology, opponents aren't adversaries but demons and antichrists, and destroying what stands in the way is a religious duty.•       A Born-Again Atheist from the Mormon Priesthood. The messenger's unlikely arc: raised devout in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Independence, Missouri (now the progressive Community of Christ), ordained into its priesthood, then unmoored at twenty by his father's death and the questions faith couldn't answer. He settled on humanism — a moral framework without the supernatural — and calls himself a Christ-loving atheist, fully at peace with the Sermon on the Mount. His lineage, he argues, is the founding itself: Jefferson ridiculing “priestcraft,” Franklin's lightning rod denounced by clerics who preferred sprinkling holy water from church towers, Paine and Madison beside them — and the Constitution's secular firewall, Article VI and the First Amendment, as America's original gift to the world. He's politely skeptical of Jonathan Rauch's suggestion that today's LDS church models pluralism: “they've got a long way to go.”•       A Golden Opportunity — If Democrats Dare. Christian nationalism and the Republican Party “are now one and the same,” Huffman argues — which means religious liberty, pluralism, and the majority who want no theocracy have been surrendered to whichever Democrat dares claim them. Most don't: the intersection of religion and politics strikes them as too dicey. Texas's James Talarico is the breakthrough messenger — calling out Christian nationalism from inside the faith, addressing atheists and believers alike — while AOC, a great friend, conspicuously declines every Freethought Caucus invitation, and Newsom awaits his copy of the book. Huffman wants no constitutional amendments: the founders got it right, and the task is defending Article VI and the Establishment Clause from a Supreme Court reading them out of existence. His own ambitions? “Career-limited as a straight white male from Northern California. I'm good with that.” About the Guest Jared Huffman has represented California's 2nd congressional district — from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon border — since 2013. A seven-term Democrat, former environmental attorney, co-founder of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, and the only Humanist ever to serve in Congress, he watched the January 6 insurrection from...

In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi sits down with Congressman Jared Huffman to discuss his new book, No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. Huffman shares his journey from growing up in a devout Mormon community to becoming a humanist and the only openly non-believing member of Congress, and explains how the rise of Trump and Christian nationalism pushed him to speak publicly about the dangers of religious extremism. They discuss the New Apostolic Reformation, January 6, the religious forces surrounding Trump, Mike Johnson, the influence of Christian nationalism in Congress, Christian Zionism, traditionalist Catholicism, and why the separation of church and state is increasingly under threat. Huffman also explains why he believes saving democracy will require religious and nonreligious Americans to work together—and why, even in a deeply troubling political moment, he refuses to give up.

Mike Lindell loses and won't accept it. GOP Senator Tim Scott calls a Muslim doctor "Hamas." And the GOP's Bible-thumpers can't name a verse. In this episode: Tim Scott smears Dr. El Sayed as "Hamas" — not a sympathizer. Just Hamas. Mike Lindell loses the Minnesota primary, then refuses to accept the results Democrats reclaim Christianity from Mike Johnson and Pete Hegseth — which verse, boys?

In this episode of Just Ask the Press, host Brian Karem, national security expert Mark Zaid, and journalism professor Nolan Higdon critique recent political and economic developments. The panel opens by scrutinizing ongoing military tensions with Iran, questioning the truthfulness of public claims surrounding peace negotiations and highlighting concerns over depleted U.S. munition stockpiles. They then pivot to domestic politics, condemning calls to indict Dr. Anthony Fauci after he invoked the Fifth Amendment before Congress, while debating the legal strategy and political motives behind the probe. The hosts also break down recent downward revisions in U.S. job statistics, arguing that official rhetoric misrepresents true economic hardship, inflation, and shifting labor market realities. Wrapping up the episode, the group lambasts Speaker Mike Johnson's party leadership, discusses serious abuse allegations facing Representative Max Miller, and sharply criticizes monetization strategies on Truth Social as pay-to-win political influence.

Bill welcomes back American Enterprise Institute emeritus scholar Norm Ornstein to assess Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson, and President Trump. Ornstein calls this the worst Congress ever, citing little constructive legislation beyond a Reconciliation bill that delays major Medicaid cuts until after the midterms, lack of oversight, and a Senate that offers only “rubber-stamp” consent, including confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General. He argues Johnson is effectively “speaker of Donald Trump” and criticizes Democratic leaders for failing to project a coherent daily message despite strong individual members. Ornstein and Press discuss Republican senators backing Blanche despite Trump's attacks, which Ornstein attributes to moral cowardice and a party functioning like a cult. They also cover Trump's mishandling of Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool repairs, no-bid contracting and bogus vandalism prosecutions, legal battles over Trump's White House construction projects, and Rand Paul's McCarthy-like pursuit of Anthony Fauci.Today Bill highlights the work of The Constitutional Accountability Center.

Dasha asks Johnson about his relationship with President Trump – questioning whether he ever tells the president "no" and why Senate Majority Leader John Thune appears more willing to publicly push back. Johnson also addresses the mounting allegations against Rep. Max Miller and weighs in on what Abdul El-Sayed's victory says about the direction of the Democratic Party. Have thoughts for the show?

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on The Majority Report On today's program: In the Wake of Abdul El-Sayed's winning the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan, the GOP-machine's Islamophobia is reaching a fever pitch. El-Sayed's GOP opponent Mike Rogers tries to tie the Democratic nominee to Osama Bin Laden in his opening statement to kick off the general election. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is asked about Speaker Mike Johnson's comments on El-Sayed's victory on Tuesday putting the U.S. in danger of being overrun by "mini-Mamdani's'. Zohran says if El-Sayed's campaign promises of "money out of politics, money in your pocket and Medicare for all" are scary then that shows just how out-of-touch the Republican party is with the concerns of the working class. Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics and Director of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco, joins to discuss his piece in The Nation: "The Real Story Behind the Human Wave That Entered Ceuta." For more from Professor Zunes, check out his most recent book, coauthored with Jacob Mundy: Western Sahara: War, Nationalism, and Conflict Irresolution.  Murtaza Hussain, covering national security and global affairs at Drop Site News, joins to discuss his piece: "For Your Eyes Only: Israel's Mole Inside the United Nations" In the Fun Half:   Brandon Sutton joins.   Chris Rabb changes Sean Hannity's name to Scott and then humiliates him in a debate over his platform.   Democratic nominee for U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan's 13 district, Donovan McKinney speaks to the Wall Street Journal about how he is fine with being labeled a Socialist. McKinney points out that although Trump is very unpopular the Democratic party remains even more unpopular because people want champions and fighters for the working class.   Donald Trump is wearing a wig; Brandon disagrees but he is wrong.   At a Trump event in Nevada, Governor Joe Lombardo tries to initiate a moment of silence for a slain Cop but the cattle in the crowd heard his surname 'Abdelnabi' and instinctually start booing.   Stephen Miller has a meltdown on Scott Hannity's show as he tries to fearmonger the geriatric audience with Hasan Piker's comment on America "deserving" 9/11.   As Stephen Miller and Scott Hannity feign heavy hearts over 9/11, we take a look at the 16-year history of Republicans trying to block healthcare for September 11 victims and first responders. all that and more.
