- Ep. 12.1.18: The Noose Tightens Around Trump (with due apology to Mississippi's new senator, who would prefer to see it elsewhere)
THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
In this week’s episode we address the latest evidence of criminality in the Trump family. What seemed like a damning revelation gleaned from Ivanka's use of private emails for government business has turned into serious small beer once Michael Cohen began cooperating with the independent counsel. Cohen testified under oath in court that President Trump is a criminal and that he is effectively being blackmailed by the President of Russia. Following Cohen's testimony of impeachment-worthy behavior by President Trump, we wonder if there is enough integrity in the GOP or among its voters to think that a Republican president who is proven to be a criminal and effectively an agent of a hostile foreign power might be able to be impeached. We ponder whether there is any accountability for wealthy white criminals anymore. We go to Mississippi, where racist statements do not undermine your senate aspirations, and where Cindy Hyde-Smith thereby was elected. We wonder why Mississippians are so resentful of the federal government even as they continued to be over-represented in it and continue to be its greatest welfare recipients. We discuss how Republicans have finally found the elusive electoral fraud they have long been seeking, and all they had to do to find it was look in a mirror. We discuss how instant runoff elections, or ranked choice voting works, and why it should be implemented nationwide. Finally, we discuss how Donald Trump managed to finally win an argument...against his Chief Justice.

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
In this week’s episode we address the latest evidence that the 25th Amendment applies to an increasingly disabled President Trump. We note how Trump is now just about the only supporter of the murdering Saudi Crown Prince, and how he has utterly discarded any notion of American values in order to do so. Then we have a wide-ranging discussion with our special co-host Steven Leventhal, co-Associate Director of the Honors Business and Liberal Arts program at Queens College, City University of NY. We continue to discuss the midterm elections, President Trump, the Republican and Democratic parties and where they go from here, the bigotry of Republican voters, and the state of US democracy.

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
In this week’s episode we address the latest on the midterm elections and Democrats' remarkable "post-election" success. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Trump, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, and other criminals feeling the heat! The California Camp fires become the deadliest in the state's history. British PM Teresa May's efforts to accomplish Brexit mirror the problems Republicans have in trying to sell a product with nothing to recommend it. Amazon makes official the locations of its second headquarters, and demonstrates again the evils of relocation deals. We celebrate Veterans Day on the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, and note how the GOP celebration includes undermining just about everything we won during World War I, as well as the veterans we pretend to celebrate.

45 min - Ep. 11.10.18: Did the Election Save Democracy?THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSThis Week’s Discussion:In this week’s episode we address the midterm elections: who won; what they mean; and what they portend for the future. Did the capture of the House by Democrats save US democracy? How should Democrats utilize their newfound power? Also, Trump fires Attorney General Sessions, and what that might mean for democracy. The latest mass murder indicates again that this is just standard operating procedure in the US, but perhaps there is some hope for addressing this crisis. Amazon announces the locations of its second headquarters. What does this mean for NY City, one of the "winning" bidders?*Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube -Please SUBSCRIBETHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSForward Nation Radio with Professor David LeventhalVisit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.If you love what you heard, Like Us and share on Facebook - Instagram - Twitter52 min
- Ep. 11.4.18: The Will We Have A Country Next Week EditionTHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSThis Week’s Discussion:In this week’s episode, why the city of Pittsburgh, and all decent people, would reject the provocateur-in-chief. While people reach out for unity in the face of rising acts of hate-inspired violence, President Trump and the Republican party continue to embolden hate-mongers and criminals, as stoking hate is Republican electoral politics. We explore what is at stake in the upcoming midterm elections, and what a failure to reject Trump and the Republican party will likely mean for what will be left of America.

- Ep. 10.26.18 Domestic Terrorism Promoted by President TrumpTHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSThis Week’s Discussion:In this week’s episode, the latest on the cover-up of the murder of a dissident journalist by Saudi Arabia, with the assistance of the US administration. How, through his repugnance and abdication of US leadership, President Trump, along with his political party, have emboldened criminal and anti-democratic activity here and around the world. We address the latest on the bombs mailed to Trump's opponents and targets of his vitriol. A Trump supporter has been arrested, and the President's hollow calls for unity and civility are undermined by his own rhetoric and actions. Even while this is going on, he cannot help but stoke the anger and fears of his supporters as it continues to represent his party's only path to political power. We again call on voters to rescue this country in less than two weeks.*Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube -Please SUBSCRIBETHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSForward Nation Radio with Professor David LeventhalVisit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.If you love what you heard, Like Us and share on Facebook - Instagram - Twitter34 min
- Ep. 10.22.18: With Friends Like These...THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSThis Week’s Discussion:In this week’s episode, we again consider how low a political party in America can sink. We look to the killing of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the Trump administration's efforts to help Saudi Arabia cover up the crime. We explore our having underestimated the President of the United States with respect to all the crimes he has been willing to cover up, now likely including not only attempted rape, but murder. We look to how Senate Republicans broke a deal with Senate Democrats in order to continue filling our federal judiciary with political appratchiks rather than jurists, regardless of its impact on the US Senate and basic rules of decency. Republicans are taking the long game with their judicial picks, and we dispel any notion that the federal judges they are putting on the federal benches will prove to put politics aside in their decisions. We talk about how recent stock market events demonstrate that the critics of the GOP tax bill were right, but Republicans will spin it otherwise, with the help of the media. Finally, we consider whether, in fact, our civic institutions are holding, or whether we should be very, very afraid. We again call on voters to rescue this country in two weeks.*Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube -Please SUBSCRIBETHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSForward Nation Radio with Professor David LeventhalVisit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.If you love what you heard, Like Us and share on Facebook - Instagram - Twitter38 min
- Ep. 10.13.18: How Low Can a Political Party Go?THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSThis Week’s Discussion:In this week’s episode, we consider how low a political party in America can sink. We explore the news of the week and how it all evidences a political party that has given up any pretense of wanting to govern for all Americans. The reaction to Nikki Haley's resignation demonstrates how low the bar has been set for members of this administration. The climate threat continues to grow for everyone other than US Republicans, even as Hurricane Michael proves it can be ignored, but not avoided. Saudi Arabia kills a journalist and US again displays its abdication of its world leadership role. Trump is an international criminal and his resume is phony...and his base doesn't care. GOP again demonstrates it can only stay in power through lies, bigotry, and voter suppression. Brett Kavanaugh joins the Supreme Court and thereby reduces whatever legitimacy it had left. Republicans show what they are made of.*Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube -Please SUBSCRIBETHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSForward Nation Radio with Professor David LeventhalVisit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.If you love what you heard, Like Us and share on Facebook - Instagram - Twitter40 min
- Ep. 10.4.18 – The Supreme Court Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, and the GOP SwampEp. 10.4.18 – The Supreme Court Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, and the GOP SwampTHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSThis Week’s Discussion:In this week’s episode, we consider the spectacle of the President of the United States being laughed at at the United Nations; and then lying about it. We thank our founder and producer, Damian Hardeen, for giving birth to Forward Nation Radio and wish him the best of luck as he embarks on his new career in media. And we spend the bulk of our show discussing the "performance" of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the implications of a Republican party committed to ramming through the appointment to the Supreme Court of a demonstrated liar, partisan, and temperamentally unsuited likely sexual predator.*Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube -Please SUBSCRIBETHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSForward Nation Radio with Professor David LeventhalVisit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.If you love what you heard, Like Us and share on Facebook - Instagram - Twitter41 min
- Ep. 8.30.18 – The Passing of John McCain, Manafort and Cohen Trials, and the GOP SwampTHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSThis Week’s Discussion:In this week’s episode, we remember on John McCain after his recent passing. A senator and war hero, we call upon the times when he represented a rift in the Republican Party, but also remember when his maverick personality was seemingly not so evident.How the “swamp” seems to be growing each passing week. Focusing on the recent events of the Manafort conviction and Cohen plea, there appears to be no end to the level of corruption and injustice occurring within both the Trump administration and Republican Party.*Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube -Please SUBSCRIBETHE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICSForward Nation Radio with Professor David LeventhalVisit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.If you love what you heard, Like Us and share on Facebook - Instagram - Twitter34 min
