			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[
PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Original airdate 7-30-2026. Two Republican senators slowed the confirmation of Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's criminal defense lawyer, as U.S. Attorney General, but Blanche can continue indefinitely as Deputy AG. New reporting shows Trump is the most corrupt, self-dealing president in US history. This is what kleptocracy looks like -- from his scheme to steal taxpayer money via his corrupt $100 million IRS immunity deal to his $1.8 billion slush fund, $13 billion in Venezuelan oil revenue and the millions in corporate donations to his library that has disappeared, and much more.  Plus our new 'Green News Report.]]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: John Bermayer, Public Knowledge Legal Director
PLEASE DONATE TO KPFK! Public health emergency in South Korea amid deadly, record-shattering heat wave. 2026 midterm election primaries continue in Tennessee and Hawaii. Libertarian CATO Institute critizes Donald Trump for taking an unprecedented ownership stake in 30+ major corporations while he and Republicans fear-monger about a 'Communist Menace' takeover of America. JOHN BERGMAYER of Public Knowledge explains the Trump FCC's corrupt move to allow giant corporations to gobble up even more local television stations; why the change violates the law; and how corporate media consolidation violates the public's interests and endangers democracy.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: John Nichols, The Nation
PLEASE DONATE TO KPFK! It was primary election day on Tuesday in Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, Washington, and in the battleground state of Michigan, where progressives and democratic socialists for U.S. House ousted moderate Democratic incumbents. Missouri voters defeated the GOP state legislature's measures attempting to prevent the public from approving citizen-initiated ballot proposals. Kansas voters rejected GOP state lawmakers' effort to dismantle the state's bipartisan, merit-based system for selecting state justices. The Nation's JOHN NICHOLS delves into this week's primary results, the razor-thin victory of Abdul El-Sayed for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Michigan, the divides within the Democratic Party, mobilizing voters before November, and much more.]]></itunes:summary>

PLEASE DONATE TO KPFK! As predicted, two holdout GOP senators approved the confirmation of Donald Trump's corrupt personal attorney, Todd Blanche, as U.S. Attorney General, ensuring Trump will get his $1.8 billion slush fund and escape $100 million in unpaid tax penalties, the greatest heist ever carried out by a sitting President. Voting machines omitted several races in TN primary elections. Suspected arsonist arrested in connection with the devastating Spokane Fires. SoCal Edison grid equipment sparked the deadly Eaton Fire that destroyed Altadena, CA. Court rules Trump's EPA illegally terminated $20 billion in clean energy grants.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Marilyn Marks, election security expert, Coalition for Good Governance
PLEASE DONATE TO KPFK! Election security and transparency champion MARILYN MARKS, who has revealed alarming security issues in Georgia's 100% unverifiable touchscreen voting systems (made by Dominion), has discovered a new vulnerability. Marks explains a new cybersecurity study showing that anyone can use AI tools along with Georgia's public voting records to uncover how every voter voted on their secret ballot. Marks discusses solutions that elections officials can deploy now to defend against the problem; how Georgia elections refuse to apply recommended software security patches; how voters can protect their vote (vote-by-mail ballots are not affected) and much more.]]></itunes:summary>
