Mark Levine's Inside Scoop » Podcast Feed

I discuss Donald Trump’s verbal attacks on the family of slain U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who died in 2004 in Iraq saving the lives of his fellow soliders from suicide bombers.

I also also examine Trump’s gaffe in a recent interview where he said that Putin and Russia would not invade Ukraine (despite the fact that they already have).

I’m joined by callers as we discuss last night’s DNC speeches by President Obama, Vice President Biden and Senator Tim Kaine.

In the first of three hours, I’m joined by callers as we discuss, in the theme of Former President Bill Clinton’s DNC speech last night, who the real Hillary Clinton is. Whether she is the cartoon that the vast right wing conspiracy has created about her over the past 25 years, or the change-maker described in the speech.

In hours 2 and 3, I’m joined by callers as we discuss whether it was treason by Donald Trump today when he said at a press conference“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be mightily rewarded by our press.”

I’m joined by callers as I discuss the reports that it was Russian State-Sponsored hackers who hacked into the DNC server, and the potential connections between Russia and Donald Trump’s Campaign Manager, Paul Manafort.

I also discuss the importance of the Democratic party uniting ahead of the November election in order to make sure that Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, is elected as our next President.

Lastly, I discuss what motivations that Russia and Putin would have for meddling in American elections.

“Where do you go when the only people who seem to agree with you on taxes hate black people?”

               — Ben Howe, conservative blogger.

“[The GOP] is essentially a party that’s driven by white grievances and by white — not racial politics, but a set of white identity politics.” — Tim Miller, Jeb Bush’s former communications director

The Republican Party used to be based on conservative principles.

But its convention focuses primarily on the fears of angry, gullible, uneducated old white male conspiracy theorists who seem to hate America in its current pluralistic mosaic and want to go back to when America was great — and blacks, women, immigrants, the LGBT community, non-Christians, and young people “knew their place.”

Pat Buchanan’s culture warriors have taken over the Republican Party.

And an authoritarian conman wants to run it, playing on people’s deepest, darkest, racist fears.

They want to jail their political opponents.

But they offer no solutions for our country.

But it’s ok because the GOP masses sure love Big Brother:

War is Peace

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength

Trump Will Make America Great Again

Guest: Republican Strategist Mike Lane

I’m joined by callers as I discuss those who, when it comes to race in America, are working to bridge the gap and those who are working to widen it. You won’t be surprised to hear that Donald Trump is making things much worse. I explain how and why he’s doing so.

I’m joined by callers as I break down the speeches today by Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton at their joint event in New Hampshire where Sanders formally endorsed Clinton.

I’m joined by Republican Strategist Mike Lane as we preview the Republican National Convention and discuss the current state of the GOP.

Wonder how many cops died because these yahoos loved their AR-15s. Why weren’t they “Good Guys with Guns” the NRA brags about? Why didn’t they “take out” the active shooter?

Because they were gun nuts. Not heroes. They loved parading their weapons around. But when shit got serious, they panicked and ran and caused the police to waste time and resources taking care of them.

NO ONE is safer when an untrained civilian carries an AR-15. So-called “Good Guys with Guns” lead to the deaths of MORE innocents than if the Good Guys didn’t have guns.

And if any of these so-called “Good Guys” were shot dead because they were carrying an AR-15 in the midst of an active shooting, who could blame the police for killing them?

I discuss a new federal lawsuit against GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump, accusing him of raping her in 1994 when she was thirteen years old. I also question why the mainstream media seems to be ignoring the filing.
