Jeff Sharlet has been covering the rise of religious fundamentalism and right wing extremism. He’s warned us for decades now about the rise of fascism in the US. And although he’s not a soothsayer, he really has predicted what was coming.

I think we’ve entered a new era with the murder of Kirk. We’ll hear what Jeff has to say when he joins us on today’s show.

Today on my show, I had the honor of speaking with my friend Kelly Carlin. Yes, George Carlin’s daughter was probably channeling her dad when, this weekend, she posted a video to Instagram  calling out Disney for bowing down to dear leader and suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Well, Kimmel returns to the public airwaves tonight, and Kelly spoke to us about how her dad fought and spoke out regularly about our “rights” (temporary privileges), which was a lifelong battle to preserve…

Today, in addition to yesterday's hate-filled funeral, we'll talk about the crackdown on Free Speech from the administration who promised a "return" to FREE SPEECH. There's also a little issue of a so-called president writing a DM to his AG but sending it out for ALL to see on his Orwellian-named "Truth" social media platform. I could go on, but it’s Monday, so Jonathan Larsen of TheFuckingNews.substack.com is here.

We made it to another Friday when we get together with the always-brilliant Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to recap much of the important news of the week. This was the week that Jimmy Kimmel was unceremoniously yanked from the air with threats to the rest of the broadcast media not to cross el Presidenté or suffer their consequences.

I can't recall when Republican hypocrisy has been more evident than this week. It's an ugly and vicious cycle. Charlie Kirk was killed, shot by a killer's single bullet. It was evident in the actions leading up to Jimmy Kimmel's show being indefinitely pulled from the air yesterday...

Meanwhile, the Senate HELP committee held a hearing on wtf is happening at the CDC under RFK Jr's leadership (sic).

The title of today's show suggests a mighty big supposition, that the "ills of Democracy" can be cured. When I suggest anything similar, those who disagree with everything I stand for quickly respond that "This is not a Democracy" instead of speaking to the larger issue. Today's guest is James S Fishkin, Professor of Communications, Prof of Political Science at Stanford, author of Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?

Mondays are tough. I like to ease into the week by injecting humor and snark into the news. I prefer to do that every day, but Mondays are special. JONATHAN LARSEN of The Fucking News joins us every Monday for the second half of the show to discuss what's happening in our truly f'd up reality.

But today, we’ll bring along some extra snark! We'll begin the show with an old friend of mine, CLIFF SCHECTER of Blue Amp who like Jonathan and I, also works to bring you actual news in an entertaining way.

Every Friday, the always brilliant and always informed Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net joins me to wrap up the week. We discuss most of the big and often the under-reported news of the week that you really should know about. And wow, was this a jam-packed week… From Charlie Kirks murder to the FBI’s malpractice. If not for the shooter’s father, he’d still be loose. To Trump’s power grab, SCOTUS crap, Bolsonaro’s guilty verdict & 27 year sentence (for basically the same crime Dump committed) and a whole lot more…
