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.

Regardless of whether or not you like Bernie Sanders (which of

course you do) you should be concerned about voter

disenfranchisement. In this episode, Katie and Kathleen talk to

Johnathan Clarke, the lawyer who filed a lawsuit against the Board

of Election for the way they switched voter's registration for the

New York Primary (http://bit.ly/20VcJCc).

This episode is not about open vs. closed primaries, which is a

legislative decision. This episode is about a different type of

disenfranchisement: one that can be challenged in the courts.

 

Babes for Bernie Kathleen and Katie are joined by voting rights activist Yvonne Gougelet to discuss what exactly happened at the New York Primary. Why were so many voters purged, especially in Brooklyn? Why did polls in upstate New York open at noon? How many voters filled out affidavits? They are also joined a poll worker who witnessed it all first hand.

We talk to Jonathan Clarke, an attorney who filed the law suit against New York Board of Elections over voter purges about what the hell happened, what he hopes to achieve and if it could effect the presidential race. We ask Hillary Clinton to apologize for the remarks of one of her surrogate (we think this may be a recurring segment, unfortunately)and talk about why Jonathan may be the Irish-American Bernie Sanders (my words, not his.) Gabe offers a list of women role models. And finally, Oscar-nominated director Josh Fox (Gasland)talks to us live from outside of the IFC movie theater where his latest film “How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change."

On this episode we talk to writer, professor, and thinker Freddie DeBoer about identity politics, political organizing and which Gummy Bear character Ted Cruz resembles. Then we talk to Leslie Lee, the Black writer and fan of Japanese wrestling, who created the #BernieMadeMeWhite hashtag and Jacob Bridge, a veteran and a conscientious objector, about what makes a Bernie Bro a Bernie Bro.
