What the hell happened on the tarmac with President Xi yesterday? The White House released a bizarre AI image of the event. It's fun to see a bully in fear and pain. A Trump appoint judge overruled White House on CNN/MSNOW/Politico ban. The press needs to stop being stenographers. The ballroom is a death trap. Donald is creating an eyesore Voltron. Donald wants his name on Ford’s Theater. John Wilkes Booth's leg-breaking stage leap. The FBI was hacked. Good news about the midterms and Donald's polling among independents.

You know Driftglass him from the award winning Professional Left podcast – proleftpod.com. He’s also an every-three-weeks regular on this show. Like David yesterday, Driftglass’s internet was down so we reverted back to the early days of my Wednesday show when we used to interview guests via old school telephone. So if Driftglass sounds a little different, it’s because he's talking into a telephone. But it was still an excellent talk so stick around.
