Is Trump Derangement Syndrome Covered Under Obama-Care?
This time, John talks about the Senate GOP prepping a vote on a healthcare bill that 100% does NOT extend ACA subsidies, literally the ONLY thing democrats and citizens want from a healthcare bill. Also, he discusses Trump telling reporters that Ukraine is running out of time and President Zelenskyy only has a few more days to accept Putin's surrender plan. Then, he chats with Leigh McGowan who is a freelance writer and social media influencer who is known by the name "Politics Girl".

Righteous Kill, Bro!
Democratic strategist Max Burns guest hosts. He talks about current news: the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to allow the Texas to move ahead with a highly gerrymandered district map for the upcoming midterm elections. The DOJ tried once again to indict NY AG Letitia James for mortgage fraud but the sitting Grand Jury said NOPE. Top DoD officials presented footage of a September attack on fishing vessels off the coast of Venezuela to members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, including the now-infamous second strike “double-tap” kill of what the white house says are narco-terrorists. And, the FBI arrested Brian Cole Jr of Virginia for allegedly planting the pipe bombs. Max then talks politics with Rick Smith who has been a voice for the working class and the labor movement for over 20 years, and his eponymous radio show has become a space where working folks can get their news, share their thoughts and build community and solidarity. And finally, he interviews Andrew Lownie who is a British historian and author. He has written books about the royal family, on the Duke of Windsor and his links with the Nazis, and on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, including his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
