Trump was planning a coup, top military leader feared
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...

Is Biden being too bipartisan?
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...

The Sedition Commission
In today's show, Cliff and I talk about the battle over Congress establishing an independent commission to investigate the January 6th Insurrection -- or as Cliff and I call it, the Sedition Commission. From that, we move to the Arizona presidential election "recount," where even GOP officials have had enough of the Trumpers' games. We also get into how Trump and his minions, including that Women for Trump lady, have upped their rhetoric about the election having been stolen -- even for them, the new rhetoric is bad. And last, but not least, we start the show with a discussion...

Republicans are planning another Insurrection
Today, Cliff and I do a deep dive on the implications of the House GOP having removed Liz Cheney from leadership, and replaced her with nouveau Trump sycophant Elise Stefanik. This isn't just about the GOP being upset that Cheney was mean to Trump. When you look at this move, alongside the increased noise we're hearing from Republicans defending the Insurrection, the Jim Crow 2.0 laws that GOP is passing in the states, and the fact that Republicans are currently favored to win the House back in 2022, it's clear that Republicans are preparing to steal the 2022 congressional and 2024 presidential elections, and...

We also get into the topic of why so many people aren't getting their second Covid vaccine, and why we think their reason is pretty bogus. Oh yeah, we also talk about how the media is lying about Biden's approval rating, trying to make some really good numbers sound bad. That sounds like a short show, but it's actually a pretty long one. And fun, I think. Enjoy. That sounds...

Cliff talks a bit about how tougher gun laws could have helped. We then talk about the technical definition of hate crimes, and why it matters to get the designation right, and about whether Asians and Latinos are getting enough attention.

So, hopefully, you'll learn something new about an issue that's increasingly in the news. We talk about the JK Rowling controversy, pronouns, the notion that some people are "non-binary," and the difficulty of even discussing trans issues without fearing you're using the wrong vocabulary or saying something offensive.
