A New Front-runner? Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

Senator Elizabeth Warren took -- by far -- the most heat from her rivals in Tuesday's Democratic Primary debate, even if it mostly came on issues that have played out before. The scrutiny is a measure of Warren's newfound status as a front-runner, if not the front-runner, in the race. And Warren largely held her own, even while being double- and triple-teamed. Guest: Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kangaroo Court Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Faced with the growing likelihood of impeachment, President Donald Trump is leading his party into an increasingly dangerous space. GOP lawmakers are being asked to ignore realities and their own instincts in defending a president whose conduct is not inspiring fierce loyalty. Meanwhile, the Bernie Sanders campaign suffers two big blows in one week. Guest: Nina Turner, national co-chair for the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign Learn more about your ad choices.

"I was on the phone call" Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has stepped in to keep State Department officials from sitting for depositions this week. Key Democratic committee chairs responded by calling Pompeo himself a "fact witness" -- and stated that efforts to keep witnesses from talking to Congress "will constitute evidence of obstruction of the impeachment inquiry." Pompeo now admits he was "on the phone call" between President Trump and the President of Ukraine. Guest: Rep.

Impeachment Inquiry Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

Impeachment has now moved to a phase where there's probably nothing the White House can do to stop it. That's some unfamiliar territory for President Donald Trump. The launch of an official "impeachment inquiry" means congressional Democrats are now acting, with Trump left reacting. Guest: Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) Learn more about your ad choices.
