9/17 Harris’ Debate Bump & Trump/Vance’s Immigrant Assault Continues

September 17, 2024

It’s News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day.  First, they run through updates on election polling, Trump’s claims of “dangerous rhetoric” from the left, the complete shutdown of Springfield, Ohio in the wake of Trump/Vance’s anti-migrant fear-mongering, RFK’s continuing ballot struggles, major labor action with UAW, NYC Amazon Delivery Drivers, Seattle Starbucks, and Boeing, the devastating results of Georgia’s abortion ban, Israel’s expanding offensives, Twitter’s major revenue drop, and increasing attacks on the NLRB, also expanding on the hypocrisy of Trump and Vance’s recent statements on “dangerous rhetoric” after using their platforms to advance nazi conspiracies and lies about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. Next, Sam and Emma dive deep into polling with six weeks to election day, tackling Harris’ inklings of a lead, Democrats’ decision to target sleeper seats in the house, races in Nebraska and Iowa, and her focus on speaking to immigrant communities. They also look into increasing lawfare against the NLRB, including both a Trump-appointed judge’s decision to find the Bureau unconstitutional over their case against Findhelp and their ongoing battles with Starbucks, and parse through growing corporate attacks on Lina Khan as Harris begins to outline her potential administration. Wrapping up, they discuss the disturbing – and predictable – story coming out of Georgia as their abortion ban puts more and more people in danger.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch JD Vance deftly pivot from addressing Trump’s relationship to Laura Loomer to blunt bigotry, Megyn Kelly guest Rich Lowrie has a telling slip-up, and a Libertarian Party of NH member finds out that in Biden’s America, you can’t encourage the assassination of presidential candidates. Tim Pool has some questions about foreign money in domestic operations, Wayne from Iowa tackles the Right’s perversion of masculinity, and Jesse Raspberry from Springfield, Ohio dives deep into the disastrous economic situation in Springfield – and how the influx of migrants has been a boon in its revitalization. Brad from PA touches on some positives and negatives for the Harris campaign, and Sam and Emma parse through the Green Party’s long-term problem of lack of party infrastructure (or any plan to build it up), plus, your calls and IMs!
