| Epstein Files; Mamdani's Affordable 'Affordability Agenda''
|
| Original airdate 11-12-2025. GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson finally allowed the US House back into session, swearing in new Rep. Adlita Grijalva (D-AZ), who in turn provided the final signature on a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files being covered up the Trump Administration. House Democrats released previously-unseen Jeffrey Epstein emails that discuss Donald Trump. RICHARD ESKOW explains his deep analysis of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's 'Affordability Agenda' -- which includes a rent freeze, free universal childcare, free buses, and more -- and explains how and why Mamdani's plans are 'surprisingly affordable,' why the billionaire class spent so much attempting to defeat Mamdani, and much more.

|
| Donald Trump called for six Democratic members of Congress, all veterans, to be executed for sedition after they accurately advised all U.S. military service members that they are required by law to reject unlawful orders. Republicans remained silent or lied to cover up for Trump. Trump Administration officials overruled senior military attorneys who warned that Trump's killings of civilians in boat strikes are unlawful. Federal prosecutors dropped charges against people who protested federal immigration raids in Chicago. Trump's plans to drill off the coasts of CA and FL face ferocious opposition.

| Trump's MAGA base splintering; Comey indictment
|
| The Trump Justice Department's attempted criminal prosecution of former FBI Dir. James Comey appears to be in serious jeopardy after revelations in court of serious prosecutorial lapses. Division among Donald Trump's MAGA base is growing after his intense efforts to block the release of the Epstein Files and other actions. Former MAGA member RICH LOGIS of Leaving MAGA explains that many Trump supporters are experiencing 'cognitive dissonance' over Trump's actions in office, and offers recommendations for listeners to engage with their MAGA family members over the holidays and ways to help them exit the movement.

| Trump, MBS, and Khashoggi; Elections; Environment
|
| Trump feted Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and berated a reporter who asked about the CIA's determination that MBS personally approved the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Congress voted overwhelmingly to approve release of the Epstein Files (which Trump could have released himself). Will Trump's DOJ actually release the files? US House members secured a second discharge petition to restore collective bargaining rights for federal workers. Federal appeals court blocked Texas' new gerrymandered U.S. House map. Indiana GOP state legislature refused Trump's demands to redistrict. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'

| 2025 Election results and analysis
|
| Original airdate 11-5-2025. Democrats won nearly every 2025 election contest on the ballot in about 30 states. Voters issued a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump and Republicans in high-profile and under-the-radar down-ballot races, seizing their first opportunity to register their opinions at the ballot box. New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani delivered a barn-burner of a victory speech. The Nation's JOHN NICHOLS analyzes the results, the remarkable near-clean sweep by Democrats in races across the country, why it happened and what message Dems should learn from it, and much, much more.

| Dem Shutdown fallout; Elections; Environment
|
| Fallout grows over the capitulation by eight Senate Democrats to vote with all Senate Republicans to end the government shutdown, receiving nothing in return. The majority of Congressional Democrats did NOT capitulate, and may be learning to fight in the Trump era. Utah state judge rejects state Republicans' heavily gerrymandered US House map, implements one fairer to Democratic voters. Trump's approval ratings plummet further. Trump issued full pardons for 77 accomplices who tried to help him steal the 2020 election. Rightwing US Supreme Court will hear challenge to Mississippi's mail-in voting laws.

| Voting Rights; Government Shutdown
|
| Bolts Magazine's ALEX BURNESS delves into several under-the-radar races in last week's elections that hold very good news for voters and will reverberate going forward, on critical issues like mail voting, felon disenfranchisement, mid-decade gerrymandering and more. In the US Senate, seven moderate Democrats and one independent -- none up for re-election -- broke ranks to vote with Republicans to end the government shutdown, getting almost nothing in return. Callers weigh in.

| The Weak 'Strongman'; Elections; Environment
|
| Original airdate 10-30-2025. Donald Trump desperately wants to be a strongman, but reveals he is incredibly weak, as his approval numbers sink even in states he won. China outplayed Trump in trade deal negotiations. State Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-MI) excoriated Trump Admin/GOP for their use of 'food as a political weapon' in refusing to fund federal food assistance for low-income Americans. On Tuesday, voters will decide important contests in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia, California, and Pennsylvania. Republicans hope to enact new voting restrictions in Maine and Texas.
