America’s War On America
Trump tries to kill Obamacare, Jeff Sessions gives local police grenade launchers, and our EPA is run by a climate change denier who thinks oil companies should be monitored using the honor system. Clearly America is trying to kill itself.
Comics PETE DOMINICK, JOE DEVITO, and JACKIE “THE JOKE MAN” MARTLING. Plus in honor of Jerry Lewis we replay a sketch featuring MARTIN SHORT. Also HOWIE KLEIN from Down With Tyranny. And former Seattle Police Chief NORM STAMPER on why Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision this week to reverse an Obama rule and now permit local police to get more equipment from the pentagon will end up making us less safe. In honor of Labor Day we play some Billy Bragg. David explains precisely why the blame for Harvey lands squarely at the feet of Exxon/Mobil and its GOP lapdogs. Also why Chrissie Hynde is this week’s HOTTEST HUMAN ALIVE.

On today’s show Constitutional Law Professor Corey Brettschneider walks us through the 25th amendment and how and why Trump’s cabinet could and should remove him tomorrow. Yes, Pence is horrible, but there’s nothing to prevent Trump from launching a nuclear weapon towards Rosie O’Donnell.
