The media fails in covering Afghanistan Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

The US pulls out of Afghanistan amid the country’s fall to the Taliban, the media drops the ball in its desperation to cry failure, and Fox News plays both sides of the coin. Brian interviews congressman Joaquin Castro from Texas and his brother, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, for an in-person interview in Texas about the infrastructure package, Governor Abbott’s COVID diagnosis, and their message to the Texas Democrats who fled the state for Washington, DC. San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg also joins to discuss Governor Abbott’s restrictions on his city and what the locals are doing to push back, and the results delivered to the people of San Antonio thanks to the Biden administration.

Schools fight back against Republican governors Aug 15, 2021

Show notes

School boards begin to fight back against Republican governors and their lax approach to COVID. The Senate passes the infrastructure bill, in part thanks to Mitch McConnell's ulterior motives.

Trump gets rejected by Republicans. Twice. Aug 01, 2021

Show notes

Trump gets rebuked twice after trying to put his finger on the scales. Brian interviews Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) about his thoughts on a number of Republicans testifying for the January 6 committee, including Trump, Kevin McCarthy, and Jim Jordan; how to pass voting rights legislation despite Manchin’s opposition to the filibuster; and his introduction of the National Security Powers Act to finally put the power back in Congress’ hands to declare war. And West Virginia’s Richard Ojeda joins to talk about the best way to deal with his fellow West Virginian Joe Manchin, how Democrats can get elected in red districts and states, and his response – as an Army vet – to conservative pundits mocking law enforcement officials over January 6.

Show notes

And Executive Director of Florida Rising Andrea Mercado joins to discuss the best way to bring Florida’s Latino population back into the Democratic Party and whether the GOP’s fear mongering about socialism is actually effective there.
