On today's Midday Report with host Terry Haines: Early attack ads from the Republican National committee are targeting Mary Peltola, who declined to endorse fellow Democrat Kamala Harris for President. And a Palmer man who nearly caused a midair collision last year says as a "sovereign citizen" he does not need a pilot's license.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Ben Burgis, Jacobin columnist and host of the Youtube show Give Them an Argument, returns to discuss a potpourri of topics and revisit his 2022 article in The Daily Beast entitled "J.D. Vance's Unbelievably Phony Populism". And, yes, we'll also cover Joe Biden dropping out and his apparent replacement in the race, Kamala Harris. Where should the Democrats go next if they hope to win? And what should Democratic Party messaging be as we head into the heart of election season? We'll also discuss the Republican National convention including the circus like inclusion of pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and the speech made by Teamsters union leader Sean O'Brien that has sparked much debate. We'll talk the records of Josh Hawley and JD Vance, rhetoric vs. records, fake antiwar sentiments amongst Republicans (and the hawkish elements in the GOP saber-rattling for a war with Iran and China), Biden's immigration record, Gaza, antitrust lawsuit and labor in the era of the Joe Biden Presidency, the GOP's deregulatory agenda and the impacts it'll have on workers, Ron DeSantis' assault on worker's rights in Florida, forever chemicals (PFAS) and Project 2025, Josh Hawley's copyright reform BUT only to target Disney, why JD Vance doesn't support the pro-labor PRO Act and Ben's response to that, the opioid epidemic and deaths of despair, and much, much more!

St. Louis Congresswoman Cori Bush and her chief rival in the upcoming Aug. 6 Democrat primary, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell, clashed at an UMSL candidate's forum this past week. This weekend, Bush is doubling down on her credentials as a member of Congress's progressive-left “Squad,” by inviting Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts to campaign with her this weekend, as Bell opens up a commanding lead in fundraising and polls. … In an exclusive interview with FOX 2 News, Republican Missouri Governor Mike Parson reveals his endorsements for key races in the upcoming GOP primary. … The St. Louis City Public School Board halts new hiring and is reviewing recent hires by Supt. Dr. Keisha Scarlett, after Scarlett's most recent hire: a new, high-paid communications director who posted on social media that she would not be moving to St. Louis full time after taking the job. … A judge has halted St. Louis's guaranteed basic income program, supported by the city's mayor and aldermen. Opponents argued the program, which sends $500 monthly to more than 500 low-income families, violates laws against public money being given to private citizens. … It was an up week for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after he narrowly survived an assassination attempt and rolled through a boisterous Republican National convention, and another down week for President Joe Biden, who's tested positive for Covid and dealing with more than 30 members of Congress no calling on him to exit the presidential race. (Note: This segment was recorded before President Biden withdrew his candidacy.) … U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt of St. Louis County has grown into a very prominent role nationally in the Republican Party as a confidant of Donald Trump. Schmitt is said to be a potential Trump cabinet pick for U.S. Attorney General should Mr. Trump win election in November. … Our quote of the week was from the federal judge in Florida who just threw out what's thought to be the strongest criminal case against Donald Trump: the Florida classified documents case. …Even with historic budget surpluses in the billions of dollars, Parson has slashed $1 billion from the budget approved by the state legislature.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pre-reportWe talk with Bob Hennelly, who is reporting from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the Republican National convention.He describes the conversations of the reporters and others as they travel from the East Coast to Milwaukee, and their ideas about the convention.Part 1:We talk with Paul Griffin, Prof. Emeritus, UC Davis. We discuss the market crash that is likely due to the Supreme Court hobbling the SEC, and other regulatory agencies. The SEC protects investors from fraudulent firms who misstate earnings, etc. By reducing its power, investors will be targeted. The Accounting and Enforcement Releases will no longer be a shield for investors, thus increasing risk.Part 2:We talk with Anne Nelson, who writes about Project 2025, and the goals of the far right movement in the US. She describes mass meetings of the far right, and how they are demonizing Democrats, and liberals in general.

Larry talks with several delegates attending the Republican National convention.

7/12/24 - Have you heard about the new National Republican Party Platform? The American right's new agenda keys in on issues such as immigration, the economy, and others - all while scarcely mentioning the battle for life. Hidden within the document, however, we find that the Republicans are officially opposing a federal abortion ban and handing over the decision on limits to the states in an effort to win the votes of those in swing territories. What has the public reaction been thus far? Have the Republicans sold themselves out by downplaying the issue, and could it come back to bite them down the road?

Whoo boy, another crazy busy day in our world... Somehow it's fitting that today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day. And since I took the day off yesterday, there's so much to cover before Howie Klein joins in at the bottom of the hour, today joined by Conor O'Callaghan, who's running for Congress in AZ 01. An appeals court in GA put a hold on the Fani Willis case against Trump as he can't decide whether or not she should be removed from the case for having an affair with a prosecutor in her office, Senate Republicans tanked a bill codifying women's rights to birth control(!), the MAGAt House sent criminal referrals for Hunter Biden and James Biden, while Hunter Biden's trial on gun charges continues in Delaware. Two MAGAts were added to the House Intelligence Committee by the MAGAt speaker. And Boeing successfully launched a manned rocket headed for the International Space Station. At least none of the doors fell out. And, oh yeah, Steve Bannon is headed back to jail for four months after he was found guilty of ignoring a subpoena from the Jan. 6 Committee. report to jail on July 1st, just in time to miss the Republican National convention. He'll be out 4 days before the election, hardly enough time for him to meddle in 2024's election. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Hey Ty here, going solo on the mic today to serve you the dish on Trump's tornado of turmoil. Buckle up as we sort through the mess of legal spaghetti Trump's tangled in. From defamation drama to espionage enigmas, and a buffet of court battles that feels like it's catered by Scorsese, we're slicing through the news narratives that are painting our political landscape in shades of pandemonium. We'll also dissect the media's spin on primary performances, revealing the potential for public uproar that could rival the chaos of January 6th.Prepare to be stunned by the sheer unpreparedness revealed in text messages from DHS officials regarding the January 6th insurrection, giving us a backstage pass to the government's scrambling. As I fly solo without Carol and Tara, I also unravel the internal GOP melodrama, where strategic dilemmas and high-profile exits hint at a Republican party at a crossroads, and possibly a fork in the road for Trump's political journey. Plus, with the RNC under Lara Trump's new reign, we're peering into the looking glass to see if the committee will morph into Trump's personal fundraising fiefdom.Then, hold onto your seats as we zoom in on the global stage where security threats are more twisted than a Bond villain's mustache. We're casting the spotlight on Sean King and Elon Musk, two influential rogues steering the steering wheel of public opinion, where one tweet could swerve us into democracy's ditch. Dive into the discussion where I'll lay out the dangers these figures pose to our political fabric, and why we need to keep our eyes peeled like a hawk on their every move. So tune in, and let's get to the heart of the insanity you won't want to miss.Support the showSupport the show:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2003879/supportFollow our show's hosts on Twitter: twitter.com/@CoolTXchicktwitter.com/@Caroldedwinetwitter.com/taradublinrockstwitter.com/blackknight10ktwitter.com/@pardonpodFind Tara's book here:Taradublinrocks.comFind Ty's book here:Consequence of ChoiceSubscribe to Tara's substack:taradublin.substack.comSubscribe to Ty's substack:https://theworldasiseeit.substack.com/ Support Our Sponsor: Sheets & GigglesEucalyptus Sheets (Recommended):Sleep Mask (I use this every night)Eucalyptus Comfortor...

The suggestion of a proposed 'immediate' debate surfaced from our former leader, President Trump, on a Monday radio dialogue, sparking attention nationwide. Trump's proposition, made while in conversation with popular conservative radio figure Dan Bongino, suggested the debate would serve as a beneficial exercise for the nation's interests. 'The necessity for a constructive discussion between us is evident. It's not about personal gain; it's about addressing the concerns of our beloved nation,' expressed Trump during the interview. Later that day, while campaigning in the vibrant state of Nevada, President Biden had the chance to address Trump's comments when prompted by a question from the media. Choosing his words carefully, Biden replied to Trump's challenge, 'Instantaneously? If I were in his shoes, I'd also aim to challenge me. After all, it doesn't seem like he's got any other commitments at the moment.' Looking at the GOP primary race's trajectory, Trump is leading with significant strength, leaving some uncertainties around the general election debates. The Convention of Republican National has extracted themselves from the Presidential Debate Commission in 2022, leading to questions about the future structure and organization of these key events. Trump, always fearless and outspoken, has not hesitated in expressing some harsh criticism towards the aforementioned Commission. He is candid about his beliefs, referring to the organization as 'tainted'. This criticism hints at his continued fight for transparency and fairness in political proceedings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Republican presidential debate and state GOP convention this week in California. Gov. Bill to legalize some psychedelics awaits Gov. Newsom's signature or veto. Exhibit explores Sacramento lowrider history and culture. California in Republican National Spotlight It's a busy and potentially pivotal week for Republican candidates in California. Tonight, it's the second Republican Presidential debate between the major candidates, minus frontrunner Donald Trump. Then, this weekend, California Republicans will gather for their annual convention in Anaheim. Los Angeles Times political reporter, Seema Mehta, joins us from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, site of tonight's debate, with a look at who needs to perform well in California in order to take the state's delegates as well as some of the important down-ballot races that could reshape the House of Representatives. Psychedelics Bill Awaits Gov. Newsom Signature Gov. Newsom is weighing hundreds of bills passed by the State Legislature. One bill would decriminalize some hallucinogenic drugs like psilocybin, which is found in magic mushrooms. From Oregon to Colorado and Washington D.C. laws surrounding the use of psychedelics have been loosened, decriminalized, or even legalized in a supervised setting. And more conservative states like Texas and Utah are exploring the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics for disorders from PTSD, depression, anxiety, as well as addiction. Newsom hasn't indicated whether he will sign this bill into law, which comes with pushback from law enforcement groups. But California is already home to the first accredited university training therapists, doctors and nurses in the benefits of psychedelics, and how to use them safely. We are revisiting a conversation we had in January with Dr. Janis Phelps, Director of the Center for Psychedelic Therapy and Research at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, about the benefits of psychedelics in a supervised setting.   Sacramento Exhibit on Lowrider History Lowrider culture is full of life, art, music and love. But for decades it was targeted by local communities as a nuisance and dangerous. A new exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum explores the long history of lowrider and cruising culture in California along with the discrimination associated with it. “Boulevard Dreams” is the largest exhibit yet at the museum and Executive Director Delta Pick Mello and Francine Mata with the Sacramento Lowrider Commission join us to explain what visitors will experience and the message behind the exhibit.

Solomon Yue is a long-time Republican Party official and Oregon's Republican National Committeeman (RNC). Escaping from Communist China during Mao's cultural revolution, Yue found himself as an immigrant to the US by way of Alaska before ending up in Oregon. Once in Oregon, he slowly began to rise through the ranks eventually culminating in to the peak of GOP influence as a Republican National Committeeman.    Solomon walks us through his time upbringing including his time in a Chinese re-education camp, how being an immigrant shaped his views on politics and policy, and what it's like in a day-to-day capacity as an RNC. We also talk about the Oregon GOP and changes that Solomon would like to see with the party going forward. Solomon also shares his take on a number of newsy topics -- such as the 2024 Republican presidential primary and if he thinks Trump will skip the first debate.

The refusal to wear masks by congressional Republicans during the insurrection is now reaping significant negative consequences. Washington's own congressional representative Pramila Jayapal now has Covid. We need to treat Republicans as a national security threat moving forward.

In news from our slow slide into autocracy, six militia members were arrested and charged with planning to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. They planned to try her for treason in a kangaroo court. The penalty for treason, of course, is death. The plot included attempts to recruit 200 armed men to storm the Capitol building in Lansing and taking hostages, including Gov. Whitmer. An additional seven men affiliated with the extremist group, “Wolverine Watchmen” were also arrested for threatening to “start a civil war leading to societal collapse.” Can’t make this shit up.  The militia plot is just one more stark example of how Trump and the Republican party have fanned the flames of white supremacy and wannabe fascists. Last week Trump called on the Proud Boy fascists to “stand back and stand by.” When right-wing protesters, many of them heavily armed, descended on the Michigan Capitol back in April and May, Trump tweeted the encouraging words: “LIBERATE MICHIGAN.”  Get used to it, I guess. Turns out up until 2017 the Republican National party was restricted from using “poll monitors” because of a campaign of voter intimidation in New Jersey.  Yes, the fly was the star of the Vice Presidential debate on Wednesday.  Oh, yeah, Trump is flying high on steroids and looking to give all his Big Pharma pals a taste of the action as he hocks Regeneron’s antibody treatment REGN-COV2. Meanwhile the White House super-spreader event in the Rose Garden marches on.  EPA grants Oklahoma control over Tribal Lands so they can be further exploited. This strips from 38 tribes in Oklahoma their sovereignty over environmental issues. It also establishes a legal and administrative pathway to potential environmental abuses on tribal land, including dumping hazardous chemicals like carcinogenic PCBs and petroleum spills, with no legal recourse by the tribes, according to a former high-level official of the EPA. Senator Pat Toomey announced on Monday that he will not be running for reelection in 2022 nor will he be running for Governor, which leaves the door wide open for Q-Anon conspiracy theorists like Doug Mastriano to take the nomination.  This opened a ton of speculation as to which progressives are looking to run. Names already include Helen Gym and Summer Lee.  Unions are “all in” for Republican Brian Fitzpatrick in Bucks County, once again relying on a strategy to court more moderate Republicans instead of build power on the left.  PA Stands Up and other progressive groups get the shout out in Vanity Fair for organizing independently of the Biden campaign that seems more interested in increasing the percentage of white conservative Democratic men who voted for Trump in 2016, than expanding the electorate and getting out the vote in strong Democratic areas. Helen Gym the progressive, populist city council member in Philly, told the magazine, “It doesn’t matter what the Biden campaign is doing—groups are mobilizing on the left, and statewide they’re united as PA Stands Up...Many of these groups are absolutely ignored by both parties, but we’re moving at the local level, and we’re making hundreds of thousands of phone calls across the state. We have proven to be very effective at winning at the margins.” The Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for the development of the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. CRISPR makes it possible to snip out very precise segments of genetic code which has revolutionized molecular life sciences and contributed to promising therapies for cancer and inherited diseases. This is the first time two women jointly won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and the 6th and 7th women to win the prize.  It’s almost here!

Wherein the Gang does it's own post-mortem of the morbid and moribund Republican National Convention, with all it's crappy production values, dismal ratings, and insane speeches...

Over the last two weeks, both the Republican and Democratic parties have proposed their visions for America and they could not be more different. President Trump used his primetime speech to convince those watching that he was still the outsider that had been elected four years prior and that he would not conform to establishment politics, even though he is now the establishment. Joe Biden used his time to demonstrate that he believes that Trump is a threat to democracy and that reelecting him would mean four more years of divisive politics and the continued mishandling of the coronavirus.   Toluse Olorunnipa, White House Reporter at The Washington Post, Tim Alberta, Chief Political Correspondent at Politico, and Elaina Plott, National Political Reporter at The New York Times analyze the Republican National convention and share what the next 60 days could look like.  The economic slowdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic has left millions of Americans without work. That includes Angelica Garcia, who was a barista at Starbucks in The Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for 19 years. She shares what the last few months have been like for her and what her hopes are for the future. Plus, Heather Long from The Washington Post describes the overall health of the U.S. economy and whether Americans can expect more economic relief from the federal government.  In 2018, former defense department analyst Elissa Slotkin flipped a seat from red to blue in a suburban Michigan district that Trump carried by seven points. She credited extensive grassroots organizing for her success, including the 200,000 doors her team knocked. This time around, the restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic have made it impossible for her to reuse her 2018 playbook. Congresswoman Slotkin shares how she's adjusted her campaign and how she's working to safely interact with voters in person and online.

Joe Biden used his time to demonstrate that he believes that Trump is a threat to democracy and that reelecting him would mean four more years of divisive politics and the continued mishandling of the coronavirus.   Toluse Olorunnipa, White House Reporter at The Washington Post, Tim Alberta, Chief Political Correspondent at Politico, and Elaina Plott, National Political Reporter at The New York Times analyze the Republican National convention and share what the next 60 days could look like.  The economic slowdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic has left millions of Americans without work. That includes Angelica Garcia, who was a barista at Starbucks in The Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for 19 years. She shares what the last few months have been like for her and what her hopes are for the future. Plus, Heather Long from The Washington Post describes the overall health of the U.S. economy and whether Americans can expect more economic relief from the federal government.  In 2018, former defense department analyst Elissa Slotkin flipped a seat from red to blue in a suburban Michigan district that Trump carried by seven points. She credited extensive grassroots organizing for her success, including the 200,000 doors her team knocked. This time around, the restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic have made it impossible for her to reuse her 2018 playbook. Congresswoman Slotkin shares how she's adjusted her campaign and how she's working to safely interact with voters in person and online.

RadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Happy birthday to Sean Connery, turning 90 today! Although he’s not yet 90, it is also Armando’s birthday today! And by an amazing cosmic coincidence, it’s also David Waldman’s birthday today! If that wasn’t enough for you... it’s my birthday tomorrow! Happy birthday everyone! One day down of the Republican National collective delusion. It is the Trump Convention, so the “plan”, as always, is to put the absolute bare minimum of effort in between golf weekends, and then to claim that it was the best that could ever have been done. Don Jr. was higher than any bar set for Republicans last night. Whether a pitcher, catcher, or merely an enthusiastic fan in stands, the nonetheless sleazy, cowardly little weasel Jerry Falwell Jr. — previously on righteously eternal suspension from Liberty University, now goes home — you got to hope it is to be nowhere near anyone’s family.   Meanwhile, the University of Alabama reported over 500 COVID-19 cases last week. Researchers say a Hong Kong man is the first confirmed to catch Covid-19 twice, but more research will be needed to determine what a disaster that is. David will need to add a whole new column on his spreadsheet. The well-worked refs over at Twitter give Trump another warning, still throwing out anyone else committing the same offence.  Any Trump not at the convention will tell you: Donald Trump has no principals and you can’t trust him. Donald goes full Andrew Jackson against the Supreme Court, and then some. The Trump family went full Palin in D.C. following Robert Trump's White House funeral. A public defender describes her retaliatory arrest. Vlad laments America’s loss of style. A Ukrainian Oligarch picked up $21 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans. It’s nice to know a guy. Joan McCarter reports on the several cans of worms opened at Louis DeJoy’s House investigation. Dejoy will not put any postal sorting machines back, in fact brand new ones continue to be thrown out. Trump has no problems eliminating any support for Social Security. Susan Collins has problems eliminating Donald Trump from her background.

The RNC begins today after the party voted to adopt the same platform it ran on in 2016. Of those scheduled to speak, half are Trumps. Protests have broken out in Wisconsin after footage released by the city of Kenosha shows a Black man being shot in the back by police. Jacob Blake was getting in his car with his 3 sons when officers opened fire. 75% of Republicans think the US is in BETTER condition than it was 4 years ago, with 57% of GOP voters believing that the nearly 180,000 COVID-19 death toll is acceptable. Multiple outlets are reporting that the president is pushing the FDA to approve an unproven British vaccine for release before the election. As her daughter tweets about starting the process of emancipating herself, Kellyanne Conway announces she is leaving the White House to spend more time with her children.

Abdi and Ahmed talk about Trump and the GOP's futile attempts to reign in the crazy anti-mask furor they started. Note: While uploading last week's episode I inadvertently selected the raw audio, but that's fixed now. If you listened to it before I noticed the error, thanks and sorry. 

A Manifesto. Colorado Springs city council gets chewed out. Can they get away with their lip service to the boiling situation........again?

Disaster Capitalism is alive and well. Will your drug and insurance prices increase because of the Covid-19?  Conservative groups want the July 15 tax day moved into next year. What's that? The conservatives don't want to pay their taxes? What's new here?
