I discuss Hillary’s Clinton’s handling of her emails as Secretary of State and FBI Director James Comey’s recommendation today that no charges be filed relating to the matter.

Here’s the article I reference in my program.

I Triggered a State Department Leak More Serious Than Hillary Clinton’s. You might be surprised at how light the punishment was.

90% of Americans say of course not!

Yet, even a bill with ample due process, like Republican Senator Susan Collins’ bill, was voted down by Republicans.

Collins’ bill would allow any American citizen or non-citizen resident(!) to appeal a denial of a gun purchase. It put the burden of proof on the government to show the individual is suspected of terrorism. And it even allowed people who win their appeals to recover their costs and attorney’s fees(!)

Yet while every Democrat voted for it, the vast majority of Republicans voted it down.

It seems the vast majority of Republicans would rather arm terrorists in America than risk losing the millions in donations they get from the NRA.

They would murder ISIS members by drone (with no due process) if they are on the other side of the globe.

But if ISIS is right here and living among us, the GOP would make sure they are massively armed with AR-15s, explosives, and thousands of rounds of bullets. They do everything but show ISIS the address of the nearest church or nightclub.

How can they possibly defend this?

I’m discuss the irony in Donald Trump’s speech today regarding him saying he’s for things like building up our infrastructure, something Republicans have blocked President Obama and the Democrats from doing for seven years and counting.

I also discuss Hillary Clinton’s speech yesterday, where she talked about how dangerous Donald Trump’s economic plans would be for the country if implemented.

I’m joined by callers as I discuss why I believe that Donald Trump has already reached his ‘high-water mark’ in the polls and why it’s all down hill for him from here on out.

I also briefly discuss why I believe the Senate should vote to expand background checks on gun purchases and prohibit people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns.

I’m joined by callers as I discuss how, despite all four gun control propositions in the Senate failing yesterday, I believe that the tide is turning in favor of common sense gun reforms in America.

I also ask whether Republicans even want it to be illegal for terrorists to buy AR15s and other assault weapons. And if so, then why don’t they support ‘no-fly no-buy’ with due process?

I discuss why ‘thoughts and prayer’ from Congress are simply no longer good enough for victims of gun violence. I also discuss Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) and other Senators filibustering in the Senate to raise the issue of Congress’s inaction on laws to prevent future gun violence.

I’m joined by callers as I discuss the historical significance of Hillary Clinton becoming America’s first female major party nominee for President.

I also discuss where I think Bernie Sanders goes from here.

I’m joined by callers as I discuss the irony in the GOP acting shocked that Donald Trump made racist comments towards the judge overseeing the Trump University case.

I explain why I’m not buying the current polls showing Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton neck and neck.

I also give my thoughts on why the Libertarian ticket in 2016, composed of two former Governors in Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, will garner more of the vote than it has in recent presidential elections.
