POPULARITY
On this episode: Russia pays to have our soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Trump says and does nothing. Russia injures U.S. troops in Syria last week. Trump says and does nothing. It sucks to have Putin's puppet as our president. It sucks to have a president who won't defend our troops. It's embarrassing and humiliating.
US media is once again consumed with evidence-free claims that Russia intends to interfere on Donald Trump's behalf. But as Democrats accuse Trump of being "Putin's Puppet," Trump is overseeing a hawkish agenda that has worsened US-Russia tensions. Nowhere is that more dangerous than Trump's escalation of the nuclear arms race with Russia: abandoning arms control treaties while deploying and developing new nuclear weapons. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter joins Pushback to discuss the overlooked dangers. Guest: Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector, Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, and author of "Scorpion King: America's Suicidal Embrace of Nuclear Weapons from FDR to Trump."

This week, Twitler was once again revealed to be the self-dealing Putin's Puppet who tried to use taxpayer money to extort a foreign leader for his own personal political gain - and Republicans don't care. They just carried on repeating Putin's propaganda. See. I told you Republicans hate America. Destroying Democracy Was Always The GOP Point. We'll discuss another week of madness.

As #Russiagate implodes, Lenny Thompson asks "what does Putin have on Mueller?"

Nancy Pelosi, the highest ranking legitimately elected politician in America, takes her throne as Speaker of the House this week while Putin's Puppet continues to destabilize the nation with his childish shutdown. Meanwhile, Mike Pence plays Bizarro Robin Hood by stealing from the poor (400,000 gov employees forced to work without pay) to give to the rich (him and Trump's cabinet members giving themselves a $10,000 pay raise).

This episode is less coherent than most because we're sitting here watching American irreparably destroyed in ways nobody will be able to fix even once Putin's Puppet is removed from office. Intro music: Tar Sequence by Lalo Schifrin Outro music: Intro by Str8jacket / 2Dirte / Ynd
The last presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has taken place. As perhaps the most bizarre election cycle in U.S. history enters its final stretch, what will the lasting effects the country's politics be? Does Clinton really have it in the bag? No matter who emerges victorious, the people will need to be in the streets defending our basic rights - either from neo-liberal warhawk Clinton or hate-mongering bigot Donald Trump. Brian is joined by Gloria La Riva, 2016 Presidential candidate for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Peace and Freedom Party and Liberty Union Party; by Kevin Akin, the chair of the Peace and Freedom Party; and by Jeremy Kuzmarov, Professor of American History at the University of Tulsa and author of the book “Modernizing Repression: Police Training and Nation Building in the American Century”.
