The Space Launch, and Covid Covid Covid Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

Today's discussion starts with the space launch(es) of late, including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and why both of us hope that Biden can use science to reunite the nation and also, slyly, re-educate Republicans about the important of science and facts to our daily lives. Next topic is Covid. It always is :) The Delta Variant has how become 83% of the cases in the US, and Olympians are coming down sick, France is requiring vaccine passports, and St. Jude's is firing staff who don't get vaccinated. We discuss all of this. Then we have a little chat about Jim Jordan going on the Insurrection Committee. This is one of our premium episodes.

Trump was planning a coup, top military leader feared Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Today's big story is that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley -- America's top career military official -- so feared that Donald Trump was preparing a military coup that he reached out to other military leaders in an effort to thwart it. A just unbelievable, yet all too believable, story from a new book by two senior Washington Post reporters. Cliff and I talk today about why this story matters, why it's not just a case of "we already knew that," and what this means going forward for those of us who care about this country and the survival of our democracy. This is one of our premium episodes. You can listen to 30 minutes here, and then, if the spirit moves you, head on over to Patreon and become a patron. Thanks so much.

Is Biden being too bipartisan? Jul 14, 2021

Show notes

In today's episode, the big issue is whether President Biden is being too bipartisan by asking former conservative Republican anti-Trump Senator Jeff Flake to be his ambassador to Turkey. Cliff and I think there's both a philosophical and Machiavellian reason for Biden to choose Flake, so we're on board. We also talk about everyone's favorite Supreme Court jester Brett Kavanaugh, and Trump's recent comments blasting him. Then on to Texas, where Democrats continue to thwart a GOP effort to pass new Jim Crow laws in that state. Next up, Dan Crenshaw has suddenly discovered that the Civil War was bad. And finally, Republican activists -- and Greenwald, of course -- are freaking out that a racist, white supremacist Holocaust-denier was kicked off Twitter. This is one of our premium episodes.
