			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Robert Greenwald, President, Brave New Films
Original airdate 9-21-2026. Trump banned CNN, MSNow and Politico from the White House; White House press pool members halted video coverage of Trump at the White House in solidarity. Paramount's new settlement with states clears the path for its merger with Warner Bros; if approved, it will place scores of media outlets under the control of the rightwing billionaire Ellison family. ROBERT GREENWALD of Brave New Films discusses the disturbing implications of the Paramount merger and his timely new documentary, "Murdering 60 Minutes," exploring how rightwing control is degrading the iconic news magazine, and much more. CA Gov. Gavin Newsom signed new election security laws to protect the midterm elections.]]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[
New midterm election data indicate that 'safe' Republican U.S. House and Senate seats increasingly appear to be up for grabs, even in deep red states. For months, polls have shown Americans are increasingly angry with Donald Trump and Republicans -- keep that in mind when Trump falsely claims that the election was 'stolen.' Trump's border wall construction bulldozed an ancient Native American geoglyph. Judge permanently dismissed the Trump Administration's bogus criminal case against an innocent man who did not damage the Reflecting Pool. The Trump Justice Department touted arrests of ten suspected non-citizen voters out of millions of votes cast, but is ignoring multiple cases of Republican candidates committing voter fraud.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Verity Coyle, Deputy Director, Crisis Conflict and Arms, Human Rights Watch
Donald Trump touted a voluntary agreement with top AI companies who pledged to police themselves with no guardrails or restrictions on development or use of AI tools. During international treaty negotations to regulate the use of lethal autonomous weaponry, the Trump Administration and Russia reportedly colluded to remove crucial protections, including provisions requiring human review of AI military targets before lethal strikes. Arms control expert VERITY COYLE of Human Rights Watch explains the dangers of lethal autonomous weapons systems, the need for guardrails and accountability governing the use of AI in military weaponry, and much more. Plus a horrifying airline incident onboard a flight from Dubai is under investigation.]]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Dan Becker, Climate Law Institute, Center for Biological Diversity
Consumer confidence has plunged to the lowest level since 2012. Texas' Republican Gov. Abbott declared an emergency over soaring gas prices. In the wake of Trump gutting federal cybersecurity agencies, hackers breached the FBI and stole extensive private data on former and current bureau employees. Trump Defense Sec. Hegseth declared the military will now 'defend our election infrastructure' from foreign interference. DAN BECKER explains Trump's rollback of fuel efficiency standards for vehicles, raising energy costs for Americans, worsening pollution and climate change, and ensuring US automakers can't compete globally.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[
The ten-year prosecution of Crystal Mason, a Black Texas woman who once mistakenly cast a provisional ballot despite being ineligible, stands in stark contrast to the lack of accountability for white Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other white Republican men who have unlawfully voted multiple times. A Nevada state investigation confirmed zero non-citizens on its voting rolls, demolishing the Trump DHS's false claims of 16,000 noncitizens registered to vote in the state. The US Supreme Court majority allowed states to use a notoriously inaccurate federal database to check voter rolls despite knowing it could disenfranchise lawful voters. But the Supreme Court blocked yet another attempt by Missouri Republicans to use racially-gerrymandered maps in the November election.]]></itunes:summary>
