"We lost the election but we are not defeated."

Defying a late surge in the polls for Harris, American voters have returned Donald Trump to the White House with a historical win that has made him only the second president to be voted to two non-consecutive terms and the first Republican to win the popular vote in twenty years. So, what happens now?

It’s All Over but the Crying

"We're voting for Kamala to keep the democracy."

In the final days of the election campaign, polls continue to run on a razor's edge and the United States appears more divided than the days of the Civil War when the two sides were literally shooting at one another. Are there any closing arguments to be made that really matter? Also discussing the fallout from Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, threats against a free and fair election mounting, Gaza, and Bird Flu.

Closing Arguments

"I think you ought to get your divining stick out."

The November election is only a couple of weeks away and polls continue to show a result too close to call with nothing having a real impact on the Trump campaign in spite of his many, many, many scandals, slips, and absences. Meanwhile, Russia and China, very possibly the real winners from this US election cycle, have touted their blossoming friendship and a new 'Just World Order'. Also discussing JD Vance's absence from the race and potential results in the House and Senate, Rudy Giuliani, intelligence leaks, Ukraine, and infant mortality on the increase.

Too Close to Call

"They thought they could take her down but she stood up and fired right back."

Kamala Harris steams ahead with interviews and new policies this week while Donald Trump dances and amps up his fascist rhetoric, so how the hell does this election still look so close? Meanwhile, the US is getting itself more involved with Israel, not less, apart from threats over humanitarian aid that conveniently pushes the problem past the November election. Also discussing hurricane recovery, China's military drills, Ukraine, early voting, and the reopening of Three Mile Island.
