Herschel Walker already faced an uphill battle to become a U.S. senator after The Daily Beast reported he paid for a girlfriend's abortion. But now it appears Walker is embroiled in another fight: one with his own son. Christian Walker, a conservative with a substantial social media following—particularly on TikTok—has taken aim at his father, whom he accused of violence and said abandoned his children from multiple women. “Herschel's problem is that his son has such a way with words,” Will Sommer tells co-host Kelly Weill in this episode of The Daily Beast's Fever Dreams podcast, referring to Christian's impassioned online reaction to his father's denials of the abortion allegations. Also on the podcast, Travis Waldron, senior national reporter at the Huffington Post, talks Brazil and its politics, which have been popping off thanks to the Brazilian general election. “The stakes of this one feel pretty high given the concerns about democracy and [President Jair] Bolsonaro's efforts to follow Donald Trump down the path of election skepticism and potentially an all out challenge to the result of the elections,” Waldron says.

Junctional Thinking as a podcast turns one this week, and in the immortal words of the incomparable Dave Chappelle, "It's a celebration!" I am joined by three former guests, Kerriann Peart, Daniel Beer, and Travis Waldron for the conversation that happens when you put me in the room with a public health professional, a social impact connector, and a politics/culture journalist with the topic "post-pandemic life". This is Junctional Thinking turning one. Thank you for supporting the movement! Powered and distributed by Simplecast.

Writing is a powerful tool, and when done well, the stories that unfold before us can help us learn, escape, and be inspired. They can also make us mad, especially when they expose glaring inequities in how people are living and being treated. For me, this is one of the spaces in which I find Travis Waldron sitting. He wields his writing skill like Valeryian steel, sharp and with a very pointy-end, writing at the interesting intersection of sports and culture. From Kaepernick and LeBron to Rocinha and Highbury, his pen's barrel is aimed at highlighting inequities on some of the world's largest sports stages, and the communities that serve as their fan-base.

Bill Barr accused people of spying on the Trump campaign in a hearing on the Hill Wednesday. There is ZERO evidence of this. It's just another Trump lie that he's trying to spread around as truth.

Will it be enough to propel him to the presidency?We talk to Molly Claflin from American Oversight Committee, Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress and Travis Waldron from HuffPost!

Jane Mayer from the New Yorker wrote a blistering profile of the Trump White House and its obsession with Fox News. Trump is in daily communications with the hosts on the network and actually allows the narrative on Fox to dictate how he runs the White House. This isn't state-run media. It's a media-run state. Hillary Clinton officially rules out running for President in 2020. Good! Now Democrats can focus on all of the wonderful candidates already in the race.

With less than a week to go before the midterm elections, Donald Trump is trying to scare Republicans into voting. Troops to the border, revoking birthright citizenship, spreading lies about the caravan, lying about Democrats taking away pre-existing conditions, etc. These are just SOME of the lies that the GOP are trying to spread to amp up their base. He's also hitting the road for multiple campaign events for Republican candidates. Will it work? We'll know in less than a week. We talk to Vox's Dara Lind, Political Director for Emerge America, A'shanti F. Gholar and Travis Waldron from HuffPost!

Hurricane Michael came onshore as one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the America. With all that going on, Donald Trump went to Pennsylvania to talk to the crowd that really matters to him... his adoring fans.

Earlier this year Donté Stallworth and three other former and current NFL football players spent three days lobbying Congress in favor of criminal justice reform. In other words, they did politics outside of football -- demonstrating that even as players continue to kneel during pregame anthems, there's a deeper commitment to policy than many people may realize. Stallworth joins the show to talk football and politics along with HuffPost reporter Travis Waldron. The Republican health care bill is officially dead, but HuffPost reporters Jeffrey Young and Igor Bobic explain what's next in the Trump administration's quest to kill the Affordable Care Act.
