I talk to Benjamin Dixon of the Benjamin Dixon Show and Jimmy Dore of the Jimmy Dore show about how Clinton supporters are kinda sabotaging her and her campaign.

On this episode of The Katie Halper Show we talk to Amber A'Lee Frost and Carl Beijer about the #WeAreTheLeft manifesto. Then we talk to Sanders surrogates Josh Fox and Nomiki Konst about what they witnessed at the Democratic Platform, Josh's historic amendment and what's next for the movement inspired by Bernie Sanders.

Max Blumenthal explains why an article he wrote this week about Eli Wiesel provoked the wrath of the Right Wing and earned him a personalized admonishment from the Clinton campaign. Plus he exposes the less admirable parts of Eli Wiesel's life, ideas, and positions on Palestinians, evangelical pastors. Then Carl "The Dig" Diggler opens up about love, life, loss, and elections.

Rania Khalek talks about the Democratic Platform Committee and the battle between #1 Sanders appointees who are doing his racist, misogynist bidding by voting to raise the minimum wage and save the planet)#2. and Clinton's appointees who are voting against those things. Also, we learn how Israel's fabulous gay culture is the perfect match for its oppression of Palestinians, which really matches with everything. Israel: come for the gay bars, stay for the housing demolitions

Lee Fang explains the racist no fly list that John Lewis is supporting even though he himself was placed on it! Nomiki Konst talks about the DNC NY delegation, where the rules were, OF COURSE, violated and an old white man hit a young woman of color with a cane.

We are joined by Zaid Jilani of The Intercept about the Orlando shooting, Islamophobia, Trump, Clinton, and the connection between ISIS & Taylor Swift.

Quote gem: "any terrorist organization is going to use grievances to recruit people. And those grievances that do have some legitimacy, we do want to pay attention to them because we do want to deprive terrorist organizations of recruits. That doesn't mean if someone says i'm going to shoot up a gay bar unless you give me a million dollars, then we should give into that. But killing less people is a positive concept. And that is something we should take into consideration and understand."

In this live show recording, we talk identity politics with independent journalist, Rania Khalek, and the trio behind podcast Chapo Trap House: Felix Biederman, Matt Christman, and Will Menaker.

We take on ERRbody from Neera Tanden to liberals to Amy Goodman! Well, we kind of try to talk like her. Nothing but love for Amy & Democracy Now!
