YouTube is demonetizing or removing bigots, haters, etc. Well, those they deem such. Or society. Or other social media. Is that a good thing, even if you agree? Plus, a song from Don Jr. to his father, Lindsay Graham and others.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns.

During the second half of the show, Brad leads a political round table with two guests discussing whether President Trump is trying to goad Speaker Pelosi into impeachment.

The panel also discusses what they think that the Supreme Court may do in regards to 'Roe v. Wade,' if presented with a case challenging the law. Finally, they hypothesize whether ending Roe v. Wade would galvanize the electorate in 2020.

The two round table guests are Ian Millhiser and Mark Grimaldi. Ian is a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and the Editor of ThinkProgress Justice. He is the author of "Injustices: The Supreme Court's History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted."
