August 19, 2016

On today’s Michael Casual Friday, Cliff Schecter  (@cliffschecter) and Jimmy Dore (@jimmy_dore) join us.

Cliff Schecter on the ongoing spectacle of the Trump campaign. Paul Manafort out after he’s outed as a foreign agent. More conservatives are leaving the Trump campaign. The contemptible Steve Bannon, former Breitbart-er, takes over for Manafort. Trump is preparing for crash-landing. What the apparent GOP collapse could mean for democrats and progressives alike. The great news of the decision against private prisons.

Then Jimmy Dore of the Jimmy Dore Show joins Michael to discuss his “slamming” of Sam Seder that everyone is talking about. Jimmy’s frustration with media liberals surprised Hillary is a war hawk. Jimmy recommend the movies “Tropic Thunder” and “The Heiress.”

On the fun half – Jeremy Corbyn interrupts anti-Corbyn interview, Newt Gingrich calls out “junk medicine” of TV doctor’s Hillary, the Podesta brothers’ lobbying ties to Paul Manafort, and your calls an IMs. (1:24:45)
