Professor Clements took the reins today, beginning a conversation about a recent hit piece by Sarah D. Wire from USA Today. David went in-depth, debunking the false or misreported information in the article and shedding light on the actual reality. Later, David moved on to discuss Liz Cheney campaigning with Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, as Kamala reportedly promised Liz a cabinet position. David also discussed a statement released by Gary Burnson, a veteran of the United States Air Force and a retired senior operations officer and chief of station for the Central Intelligence Agency, who confirmed what we already know about the rampant election fraud in our country. Following a short break, David discussed the crisis at the southern border, how human trafficking has become one of the biggest issues stemming from our open border, and Donald Trump's genius campaign move working at McDonald's.
What happened during the 187 minutes between the time Trump left the Ellipse, the park near the White House where he urged his supporters to march to the U.S. Capitol — and when he was at the Rose Garden, urging those supporters to go home after the insurrection? This week, the January 6 House Select Committee gave a play-by-play of what Trump was doing at the time. It turned out that he was watching TV in the White House dining room, according to testimony in the hearing. He never called law enforcement, and didn't listen to pleas from members of Congress, his staff, and his own family to condemn the violence and urge the rioters to leave. His inaction was a cornerstone of the hearing. Was it enough to prove that Trump did not fulfill his sworn duty as president? The committee wrapped up its hearings now, and promised more in September. Guest host Gustavo Arellano discusses some of the most damning moments from the hearings with Elizabeth Bruenig, staff writer at The Atlantic, on the left; Sarah Isgur, staff writer at The Dispatch, on the right; and special guest Sarah D. Wire, Justice Department reporter at the LA Times, who was inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Plus, more than two dozen states issued heat wave warnings this past week. Is there hope for climate legislation that would curb emissions? Democrats had been trying to pass President Biden's climate bill. But after 18 months of negotiations, Senator Joe Manchin, who has personal ties with the fossil fuel industry, killed the bill, citing gas prices and inflation as the reasons why. If Americans see some relief from inflation, would Democrats consider resuming talks with Manchin? And how worried should the Biden administration be about rising COVID and monkeypox cases?
Sarah D. Wire covers the Justice Department and national security for the Los Angeles Times with a focus on the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and domestic extremism. She stops by Passing Judgment to update us on the Committee's work.
Los Angeles Times congressional correspondent Sarah D. Wire knew she was in for a historic day when she walked into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. She was there to cover the counting of the electoral college votes for the 2020 presidential election.Because of then-President Trump's allegations of election fraud, she was expecting controversy. But she didn't expect to be caught in the middle of an insurrection.Today, Sarah tells us about the day a mob of pro-Trump extremists stormed the Capitol, and she shares never-before-heard interviews with the Congress members who sheltered with her for hours. It's a glimpse into the minds of our lawmakers as they worried for their lives while chaos invaded the seat of American democracy.More reading:I'm in a roomful of people ‘panicked that I might inadvertently give away their location'Jan. 6 committee prepares to go public as findings mountColumn: The Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was bad.

Because of California Proposition 187, conservatives turned into liberals, apathetic people got motivated and Latinos in the state truly found their political voice. Now members of that generation are all over Capitol Hill. Today, we speak with Los Angeles Times political reporter Sarah D. Wire about how Congress has changed, what has stayed the same, and whether Donald Trump's presidency created a new moment that galvanizes Latinos and makes them jump into politics. This is a brand-new coda of sorts for the L.A. Times-Futuro Studios 2019 podcast series “This Is California: The Battle of 187,” about the 1994 California ballot initiative that sought to make life miserable for undocumented immigrants but instead radicalized a generation of Latinos in the state.More reading:California's immigrant crackdown propelled Latinos to Washington. After Trump, could it happen again?Prop. 187 flopped, but it taught the nation's top immigration-control group how to winLatino voters tired of being taken for granted by baffled Democratic campaigns
