Pedophelia Protection Defines the Trump Administration Along With Treason

We begin with how pedophelia and pedofile protection has come to define the Trump administration which may well have gone to war against Iran to take attention away from the Epstein files now bottled up at the DOJ to protect Trump and other pedophiles who enjoyed the services provided by the depraved monsters Epstein and Maxwell. Now Trump and Vance are defending a truly sick pedophile protector featured in an ad by Ramaswamy who allowed her husband to rape her daughter from the age of 10 to 12. Joining us to discuss the cruelty, depravity and moral bankruptcy at home and the treasonous abandonment of allies abroad as Trump throws his lot in with Putin is Sidney Blumenthal, the former assistant and senior adviser to President Bill Clinton, and senior adviser to Hillary Clinton. He has been a national staff reporter for The Washington Post, Washington editor and staff writer for The New Yorker and his books include the bestsellers The Clinton Wars, The Rise of the Counter-Establishment and The Permanent Campaign. His latest book is All the Powers on Earth, The Political Life of Abraham Lincoln 1856-1860, and he has an article at The Guardian we discuss, “The Trump-Putin love story’s next chapter: selling out Ukraine.”

Disarray in Europe and Growing Illiberal Populism in a World in Need of a New Architecture For Global Governance

Then we examine political upheavals underway in Europe as young demonstrators appear poised to eject Putin’s thug Vucic in Serbia while young French school kids battle it out with 73,000 police in chaotic confrontations that serve the interests of the far-right. We explore a new architecture for global governance in an unravelling world of disarray and growing illiberal populism. Joining us is Charles Kupchan, who was director for European Affairs on the National Security Council during the Clinton administration. He is now a professor of International Affairs in Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and he spent the last 3 years of the Obama administration as Special Assistant to President Obama for National Security. His books include How Enemies Become Friends: The Sources of Stable Peace and, his new book just out is Bringing Order to Anarchy: Governing the World to Come.

The Genesis of the Growth of Oligarchical Political Power From the Powell Memo to Elon Musk

Then finally we trace the genesis of the growth of oligarchical political power in this country starting with the 1971 Powell Memo to the present in which 172 billionaire families have spent almost $2 billion on the current election with Elon Musk alone trying to buy the midterms for the Republicans with $445 million spent so far. Joining us is Donald Goldmacher, a filmmaker, producer, director, and screenwriter. A partner at Connecting the Dots Productions, he’s best known for “Ruthie and Connie: Every Room in the House, ”The Long Shadow” and “Heist: Who Stole the American Dream.”
