| LEASE DONATE TO KPFK! Original airdate 2-17-2026. Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson has died at 84. Polls show Donald Trump sinking to new lows in public opinion. The critical 2026 midterm elections are now underway with early voting for primaries in AR, NC, and TX. Congressional Republicans' new voter suppression law, the 'SAVE America Act,' would make it much harder to vote and much easier to purge legal voters using a notoriously inaccurate database. Election integrity advocate JENNIFER COHN explains what's really in the bill, how the GOP is lying about it, how it erects insidious new barriers to voting, and much more.

|
| New reporting now confirms multiple FBI documents are missing from the Epstein Files released so far by the Justice Department. Don't be fooled by the US Supreme Court striking down Donald Trump's chaotic, worldwide tariff taxes on imports to the US; it was backed by a far-right activist. Despite Trump's false claims, American consumers are paying 90 percent of the cost of Trump's illegal tariff taxes; the global trade deficit has actually increased. Trump's DJT stock has fallen to single digits. Utah Republicans lose another legal battle to stop fair voting maps. Georgia's State Election Board finds billionaire Elon Musk's America PAC committed voter fraud. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'

|
| Donald Trump's State of the Union Address on Tuesday night was an angry, racist, ugly, hate-filled speech, the longest in U.S. history, and included astonishingly little of substance and even less that resembled truth or reality. OG bloggers HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and the notorious 'DRIFTGLASS' of the 'Professional Left Podcast' bring insight, context, history and hilarity as we delve into the bizarre and frequently lurid speech. In special state legislature elections in PA and ME, Democratic candidates outperformed 2024 election results by significant margins.

House Oversight Committee Demcrats say the DOJ appears to have 'illegally withheld FBI interviews,' calling it 'the single largest cover-up in modern American history.' Media law expert HAROLD FELD explains new authoritarian actions by Trump's FCC Chair Brendan Carr that have intimidated major networks into changing their programming, why he feels 'this is a critically dangerous moment for our First Amendment freedoms,' and much more.

| South Korea's former president was found guilty of an attempted coup in December of 2024. Former Prince Andrew, younger brother of King Charles III, was arrested on allegations he shared sensitive trade information with the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Other top government officials in Europe face swift accountability over information revealed in the Epstein Files. It's accountability everywhere but in the US, where the Justice Department is blatantly covering up for Donald Trump in violation of the law. New reporting finds that FBI documents detailing credible Epstein-related allegations against Trump have disappeared, and explores links to Trump's theft of classified documents.

The interview, posted to Youtube, has now garnered millions more views than it would have otherwise.

A federal judge blocked the administration's cancellation of legal protected status for 350,000 Haitian refugees in the US and excoriated DHS Sec. Noem's racist rhetoric. Trump demanded the release of a former MAGA Colorado election clerk imprisoned over her criminal efforts to illicitly breach voting system software in the 2020 election. 'Saturday Night Live' brilliantly satirized how some MAGA supporters are finding their way back to sanity, or at least away from Trump, and how to help them get back safely.

| The government is in partial shutdown, as Democrats insist on new guardrails for Donald Trump's ICE/CBP goons. Grammy-winner Bad Bunny spoke movingly against the horrors of the Trump regime. Judge ordered release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from a Texas detention center, which may have a measles outbreak. In Texas special elections, a Democrat won a long-delayed open U.S. House seat, further eroding the razor-thin Republican majority; in a state senate race, the Democratic candidate stunningly flipped a deep red seat. Trump lied that he knew nothing about it, despite endorsing the GOP candidate. Trump lied about why he is shutting down the Kennedy Center. Callers weigh in.

| ICE killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis
|
| Trump Administration officials blatantly lied about the killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis by an ICE agent, blaming the victim. Experts say the tactics of ICE/DHS agents defy standard public safety procedures. Former Redlands, CA Police Chief JIM BUEERMANN explains the stark differences between between municipal law enforcement and the tactics of ICE officials across the country and his concerns about federal officials blocking Minnesota state officials from the investigation of Good's killing. Administration officials threatened escalating crack downs on free speech and peaceful protest. Callers weigh in.

| Trump's illegal attack on Venezuela
|
| Original airdate 1-5-2026. Donald Trump launched an unlawful, stupid and senseless attack on Venezuela over the weekend, deposing and kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro. We cover what happened; why it is illegal; the lies told by the Trump administration; their cluelessnes about what happens next; Trump's threats to attack other countries; and the many reasons why Trump attacked Venezuela. Yes, it's about oil and distracting from the Epstein Files and the Jack Smith testimony, but it's also about at least two other reasons. Callers weigh in.

|
| With Donald Trump's federal immigration thugs killing Americans in the streets, it's clear that the rule of law at the federal level no longer exists. JEAN SU of the Center for Biological Diversity explains the broad national and international impacts of Trump's withdrawal from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the bedrock international treaty that provides the legal underpinning for numerous climate, environment and conservation agreements; why it's unlawful; how it harms Americans' long term interests; and much more. Lower-court judges push back against Justice Department's disrespect for the rule of law and unlawfully appointed U.S. Attorneys. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'

|
| Donald Trump is pushing the post-WW2 rules-based order into collapse. Trump also seems to recognize rising public disapproval of his policies. Jan. 7 marks the 5th anniversary of the notorious Coffee County, GA voting system breach by MAGA operatives trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump. Election security expert MARILYN MARKS debunks absurd new claims by rightwing outlets attempting to again cast doubt on Georgia's 2020 election, and explains her real concerns about election security going into the critical 2026 midterms.

| On today's 'BradCast': Donald Trump launched an unlawful, stupid and senseless attack on Venezuela over the weekend, kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, and his wife. We cover what happened; why it is illegal; the lies told by Trump and his administration before, during and after; how clueless Trump is about what happens next; his threats to attack other countries; and the many reasons why Trump decided to attack Venezuela in the first place.

| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Original airdate 10-7-2025. The corrupted US Supreme Court began its new term this week after using its 'shadow docket' to let Trump to get away with nearly everything, no matter how radical, unlawful or unconstitutional. Former Justice Department Deputy Asst. Attorney General and author, LISA GRAVES, delves into the history of how Chief Justice John Roberts 'rewrote the Constitution and dismantled our rights,' how the Roberts Court has subverted longstanding precedent and justice and exposed its rank hypocrisy, and the moral imperative to reform and restore the court. US Attorney General Pam Bondi demonstrated she is deeply unfit for the job in a contentious Senate hearing.
