Sam hosts Digby (@digby56) of Hullabaloo and Salon and David Feldman of The David Feldman Show to discuss this week’s biggest stories, including Trump’s latest attempts to undermine the fall elections.

On today’s show: Brian Kilmeade says “use logic” to figure out that people will forge and steal one another’s ballots in households.

Digby (@digby56) of Hullabaloo and Salon joins Sam to discuss the week’s biggest stories, including the GOP’s horrendous policies on Covid testing, the bipartisan failure to provide adequate unemployment benefits, and Trump and friends’ latest attempts to suppress the vote and invalidate the fall election results. Trump says he doesn’t want to wait for election results, ballots will get lost.

David Feldman (@David_Feldman_) stops by to give the Bernie bros of MR a lesson in kindness.

On the fun half: Fauci explains to Congress why US response has been so disastrous, states reopened too quickly. PDX protester on how the feds have been escalating the violence. Eulogizing John Lewis, Obama says it’s time to pass “John Lewis” voting rights, calls filibuster a Jim Crow relic. Tucker is shocked Obama discussed “partisan talking points” (voting rights) at John Lewis’s funeral. Bill Clinton eulogizes John Lewis by saying he’s glad he wasn’t as radical as Stokley Charmichael (Kwame Ture). Seb Gorka “pranks” journalist Will Sommer, says he should stick his head in a bucket of eels. Plus, your calls and IMs!
