Dementia on Display at Trump’s North Korean-Style Cabinet Meeting Raises the Alarm For VP Vance to Invoke the 25th Amendment
We begin with the clear and present danger of a Commander-in-Chief prosecuting a war of his choice who is clearly mentally impaired and entirely only concerned about himself, not the country, not the American people, not the people of the Middle East and certainly not the rest of the world. We will discuss the alarming evidence of Trump’s accelerating dementia on display at Thursday’s North Korean-style cabinet meeting and the urgent need for VP Vance to invoke the 25th Amendment. Joining us is Lance Dodes, a Training and Supervising Analyst Emeritus with the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute who was a clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Dodes is a contributor to the book assessing President Trump, The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 40 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew – Updated and Expanded with New Essays.
The Political Impact of the Largest Demonstration Against a Sitting President in the History of the United States
Then we get an assessment of the political impact of Saturday’s 3,300 plus “No Kings” rallies across the country in what was the largest demonstration of political opposition to a sitting president in the history of the United States. Joining us is Richard Parker who teaches economics and public policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and is a Senior Fellow at the Shorenstein Center. He is a former managing editor of Ramparts, was a cofounder of Mother Jones magazine, and serves on the editorial board of The Nation. His books include, The Myth of the Middle Class and John Kenneth Galbraith: His Life, His Politics, His Economics.
Could James Talarico Flip Ruby Red Texas and the US Senate?
Then finally, with Trump not endorsing Senator Cornyn in the Texas senate race making it almost certain that the corrupt and sleazy MAGA favorite Texas AG Paxton will run against James Talarico, we speak with Matt Angle who directs the Texas Democratic Trust and the Lone Star Project, a Political Action Committee that aims to be an aggressive “fact-checker” on the Republican Party, both at the state and national levels. Matt Angle has served as Executive Director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and from 2000 to 2004 he was the Executive Director of the House Democratic Caucus and we look into why Talarico could flip a ruby red state and possibly the US Senate for the Democrats in November.
