Mystal identifies ten laws plus a constitutional amendment that he argues are detrimental to America. During their conversation, they discuss the misconception of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) as redefined by Republicans, the problematic impact of the Hyde Amendment on abortion rights, and the adverse effects of mandatory minimum sentencing from crime bills supported by both Democrats and Republicans. They also delve into voting rights, gun liability laws, and the lack of effective representation in Congress, suggesting reforms like the Wyoming Rule for more equitable representation. Mystal underscores the role of neoliberalism in shaping harmful laws and calls for a reevaluation of laws passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act.You can purchase your own copy of Elie Mystal's new book here.Today Bill highlights the work of The Nation magazine.

Gaza and the Setup to End Times TSWrightFolks,unless you've been living under a rock, you are aware of the Middle East conflict that ishappening right before our eyes on television involving Hamasterrorists and theNation of Israel. Now, it isstarting to spread to Lebanon and Hezbollah as well. These things have been prophesied for years and years as, ultimately, going to happen. Now we see scripture being fulfilled before our eyes. Some people just sluff it off, uncaring. Others are all worriedand scared and upset. True believers can be concerned, but should not be surprised. After all, the Bible declared thesethings would happen in the last days. Jesus talked about it. The Apostle Johnwrote about it. Now WE are witnessing the beginning stages. Amen! Today, our guest is TS Wright. He is coming back on to discuss what we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days–just beforeJesus returns. Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has aunique insight into prophecy and the end times. I want to get right into our discussion today, so help me welcome back our good friend, Scott Wright.Can you give us an update onwhat you see happening in Israel right now (I know this changes almost on a daily basis–but as of the time of this recording–whatdo you see)? What do you think is actually happening on theground? What do you think is being set up in the Spirit realm that we are witnessing? How do you see all of this tie into or lead up to the end time events? Things like the Ezekiel 38 war? Iran has started to issuesome statements. We see Lebanon and Hezbollah flex their muscles alittle bit. What other countries are starting to prepare and might eventually become involved inthis conflict? As I stated, I know things change on a daily basis right now. I'd love to have you come back on in another week or so and we can discuss the most recentevents as they unfold. Would you bewilling to do that?Folks, these events Scott has been sharing with us today are not something that is new. These events have been building for decades but we are now witnessing–as Scott put it–a chessmatch being played out in front of us.These end time scenario events are just like that. Jesus Himself said there would besigns, etc. that occur PRIOR TO the End Times. And He gave some examples, in addition to the Book of the Revelation which He had John write about. Pay attention to what you are seeing on the news. Pray for Israel. Pray for thePalestinian civilians that are trapped. Pray they would all come to know Christ as their true Savior. Amen! I want to remind you that in these days and times in which we live, we are reminded to “Lookup–for our redemption IS drawing near!” Amen!CONTACT INFORMATION: Email: gccgodcenteredconcept2038@gmail.comBook:“God Centered Concept Journal: Making God's Word My Ways.”-on AmazonPodcast:The God Centered Concept

Moe begins today's show with his 'Moe-ment of Truth," where he praises President Biden for how he has managed his relationship with Senator Joe Manchin, a key swing vote in the Senate. This comes on the heels of a new legislative agreement between Manchin, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and President Biden, called "the Inflation Reduction Act." The bill would bring in $739 billion in revenue and invest $433 billion in spending in areas like clean energy, tax credits, and reducing health care costs. It also addresses Manchin's goal of reducing the deficit and would do so by $300 billion or more. The bill still needs to garner 50 votes through the Senate's reconciliation process next week, including Senator Kyrsten Sinema, the other Democrat in the Senate whose vote has been tough for Schumer and Biden to count on. However, the agreement between Manchin, Schumer and Biden is a huge breakthrough for the current legislative session. For the remainder of the show, Moe is joined by John Nichols, a pioneering political blogger, who writes about politics for 'The Nation' as a national affairs correspondent. His pieces have been circulated internationally, quoted in numerous books, and mentioned in debates on the floor of Congress. The two discuss his recent piece for 'The Nation' about former President Trump's during the January 6th Capitol insurrection. The piece is titled, "187 Minutes of Treason." They also talk about the news out this week that the Justice Department is investigating Trump's actions as part of its criminal probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. John Nichols is a contributing writer for 'The Progressive' and 'In These Times' and the associate editor of 'the Capital Times,' the daily newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and dozens of other newspapers. Nichols also has written many great books, with his most recent being, "Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers: Accountability for Those Who Caused the Crisis."

THE THESIS: There is no reason in the world that I should rush to my devices to see what Joe Biden was instructed to say to us today. Whatever he was told to say will wait; I can read it at my leisure. With all that saved time and urgency I can to the only thing that will save my soul, my family's souls and those of my friends. I can pray, align with God's work, pray about how to engage in politics and pray that God step in. If enough of us do that, we will save a lot more people and maybe start the Jubilee for Jesus and the rebirth of America.  THE SCRIPTURE:  Psalm 119: 33-35 Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end.  Give me understanding, and I will keep Your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.  Philippians 4:7-9 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. THE NEWS: [AUDIO] -  This is June 2020, rioters surrounding the White House. The President has been evacuated to a bunker for his safety. There is a fire on White House property. [AUDIO] -  This is some what they did on just the day of Trump's inauguration. They also caused significant damage to the Capitol on that day. Look it up.

He can be followed @ElieNYC Read Elie at The Nation    As president, CEO and co-founder of Higher Heights for America, Glynda C. Carr is at the center of the national movement to grow Black women’s political power from the voting booth to elected office. In 2011, Carr and Kimberly Peeler-Allen co-founded Higher Heights to address the dearth of organizing resources for politically active Black women and the lack of support for those who were considering seeking elected office. Through her leadership, the organization has developed several innovative programs and efforts that have quickly solidified its reputation as the political home and go-to resource for progressive Black women. Carr is the co-creator of #BlackWomenLead—a powerful coalition movement that is creating an environment for Black women to run, win and lead—and the Higher Heights-powered #BlackWomenVote, a nonpartisan voter-activism campaign that serves as an independent and trusted voice for Black women’s political concerns. Her work to date has helped to elect 11 Black women to the U.S. Congress–including one to the Senate–and increase the number of Black women holding statewide executive office–including helping to elect the first Black woman to serve as New York State attorney general. Carr has appeared on the 2018 Essence magazine Woke 100 list. She has contributed to CNN.com, TheRoot.com, Ebony.com, HuffPost.com and BET.com; appeared on Cheddar, FOX News Live and MSNBC; and has been interviewed and quoted in the Washington Post, New York Times, US News, BuzzFeed and numerous other outlets.

Melissa Harris-Perry and Dorian Warren talk about the changing voter turnout among white men and people of color over the last three presidential elections—and other features of our political system. They are hosting a new podcast for The Nation, “System Check (https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/system-check-podcast/) ”—checking the systems that hold us back: premiering Friday at TheNation.com (https://www.thenation.com/content/system-check/) , Apple podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/system-check/id1536830138) , and elsewhere. Also: talking politics, and history, with Sherrod Brown. Of course he’s the senior senator from Ohio, first elected in 2006. He was re-elected in 2018—he won by 7 points—in a state Hillary Clinton had lost—by 8 points—just 2 years earlier. He talks about how he did that, and how Biden has learned the lessons of that campaign. Plus: disputed elections past and present: Maybe the election next week will have a big enough vote for Biden so that it can’t be challenged in court; maybe the Republicans won’t dispute the outcome. But maybe they will. We’ve had other disputed elections in our history—of course we had the Supreme Court stopping the count in Florida in 2000; and there was another one, much less well known—the election of 1876.

The 2020 election will liberate us from Donald Trump and Republican hegemony.  A sweeping Democratic victory will make it possible at last for us to address our most serious problems. That’s what Stan Greenberg says – he’s a longtime pollster and adviser to Democratic presidents from Clinton to Obama.  He’s also a bestselling author, with a new book out – it has the wonderful title R.I.P. G.O.P.: how the New America is Dooming the Republicans. Also: Edward Snowden published a memoir this week, called Permament Record, and The Nation magazine features an excerpt--it’s about his youthful enthusiasm for home computers connected to the internet, which had just become available, and the contrast he draws between the internet in those days and what it soon brought: the “identitarian consistency” required by “surveillance capitalism.”   Editor D.D. Guttenplan explains. Also: What’s Really Going on While Trump Creates Chaos: Sasha Abramsky separates what Trump is actually doing from what he’s tweeting.  His new column at TheNation.com is “Signal/Noise.”

What lessons have the Democrats learned from the disaster of 2016? Jeff Cohen talks about the progressives’ fight to win the party away from dependence on corporate contributions—and instead to mobilize the grassroots. Jeff is one of the co-authors of “Democratic Autopsy—One Year Later” at TheNation.com. Also: Arizona is a red state, ground zero for Trump’s anti-immigrant politics, but it’s changing. Sasha Abramsky has returned from Tucson, with a report on how and why the Democrats seem likely to flip a key House seat there. Plus: A historic challenges to the Republicans is underway in Georgia, where Stacey Abrams is campaigning to become the state’s first black governor, and first female governor. The polls have her tied with her opponent, a far-right figure endorsed by Trump. Joan Walsh just got back from Georgia with a report.

As Trump bars refugees & Muslim immigrants from coming to this country, it’s worth remembering the Jews who were shut out the last time we closed our borders—like Jared Kushner’s grandmother. By Lizzy Ratner, a Senior Editor at www.TheNation.com Oszcar Ratowzer, also known as Osher, was my grandfather. The manifest lists him as being 16, but my family believes he was closer to 19 or 20 when he boarded the Aquitania in Southampton, England, on Oct. 23, 1920, & began his 3rd-class voyage across the Atlantic. The journey took 7 days, finally depositing ? him at Ellis Island, America’s “Golden Door,” the gateway to a world without pogroms or hunger or the horror of world war. There, he would almost certainly have been met by an assembly line of doctors & inspectors, who would have poked & peered at him, pried & questioned until, content with what they’d found, they would send him on his way with a landing card & a new identity: Harry Ratner. A pogrom is a violent riot aimed at the massacre or persecution of an ethnic or religious group, particularly one aimed at Jews. The term originally entered the English language in order to describe 19th & 20th-century attacks on Jews in the Russian Empire (mostly within the Pale of Settlement, what would become Ukraine and Belarus).  Three laws in particular stand out, an unholy trinity that, one by one, narrowed the range of immigrants who were allowed entry via Ellis Island. the 1917 Immigration Act,  the Emergency Quota Act of 1921, and the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924,

“This is the conversation America keeps not having…” Today, we have that conversation on head injuries in football with Jeanne Marie Laskas, whose reporting on Dr. Bennet Omalu serves as the basis for the upcoming Will Smith film ‘Concussion.’ Laskas has strong words for the NFL and calls for all fans to re-examine their complicity in this $10 billion-a-year industry. Laskas is the author of the book ‘Concussion’ published by Random House. Then, Dave celebrates Serena Williams’ SI Sportsperson of the Year award by reading a column of praise from TheNation.com, and finally, the ‘Just Stand Up’ award goes to the Golden State Warriors and #DubNation who exemplify the American ideal of marrying teamwork and individuality…with a place for Steph Curry.

I See You Made An Effort: Compliments, Indignities and Survival Stories from the Edge of 50 (Blue Rider Press) Is 50 the new 40 or is 50 still 50? Maybe. In this wickedly funny new collection of essays, I See You Made An Effort, actress and writer Annabelle Gurwitch explores the hazards of turning 50, outsourcing your endocrine system, and falling in lust at the Genius bar. From the woman the Washington Post calls “hilarious,” this new book is the ultimate coming-of middle-age story and a must-read for women everywhere. The panic began to set in when Annabelle turned 49. The solicitations from the AARP began flooding her mailbox as she weighed going back to school, getting divorced and raising llamas. She couldn't afford a vacation, so she was taking a lot of naps. A visit to her gynecologist ended not with one of his usual benign send-offs—stay healthy, stay happy, stay hydrated—but instead with the slightly ominous: "Stay funny." In this new collection of essays, Annabelle Gurwitch has taken her gynecologist's advice to heart. Whether she's navigating the extensive anti-aging offerings in the department store beauty counter or negotiating the ins and outs of acceptable behavior with her teenage son, Gurwitch bravely turns an unflinching eye towards the myriad of issues women can expect to encounter in their middle years.  For tonight's reading Annabelle Gurwitch will be joined by members of the Suite 8 Writer's Collective, Jillian Lauren, Heather Havrilesky and Joshua Wolf Shenk.
