Only one of two people will be President of the United States: VP Kamala Harris, the first female president, or Donald Trump, convicted criminal, adjudicated rapist, and self-proclaimed wannabe-dictator. Trump will declare victory on Election Night regardless of the actual results, and if he loses, will again attempt to use any means to overturn the results, like he did in 2020. European Green parties call on U.S. Green Party candidate Jill Stein to withdraw to prevent being a spoiler, as she was in 2016. Sen. Bernie Sanders explains why he supports Harris, despite his disagreement with President Biden's Israel-Gaza policy. Callers make their case to voters who may be undecided, not voting, or considering voting a 'third party' candidate.

| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! The contrast for American voters could not be starker in the most consequential Election Day in modern American history. On Tuesday, VP Harris delivered a 'closing argument' on the Ellipse, the same spot where former Pres. Trump incited the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Harris laid out her policy proposals to support American families, restore reproductive rights, and accurately characterized Trump as a threat to democracy itself. In contrast, Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday was full of racist, misogynistic, and disturbing threats and attacks. HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and 'DRIFTGLASS,' of the Pro Left Podcast, offer analysis, insight, history and context on both events, the state of the race, and more.

| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! In an interview, Vice President Harris debunked efforts by Fox News anchor Bret Baier to whitewash Donald Trump's repeated threats to use the US military against his perceived domestic political opponents, who he calls 'the enemy within.' Trump has refused interviews outside his rightwing bubble. After months of obfuscation, Trump's running mate JD Vance finally said he doesn't think Trump lost the 2020 election, and would not have certified the 2020 Electoral College vote. Vance is blatantly lying about federal government 'censorship' of social media in the 2020 election (Trump was in charge). New reporting reveals Trump and Twitter owner Elon Musk are coordinating to censor reporting on hacked Trump Campaign documents. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'

| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! The Biden-Harris economy is booming, and major financial firms and experts conclude that VP Harris' economic policies will result in a far better economy on all fronts than Trump's policies, but the corporate media is failing to inform the public. VP Harris calls out Trump's fascist threat to unleash the military on Americans who oppose him. More prominent Republicans endorse Harris, calling Trump a threat to democracy. GA judge rejects GOP effort to undermine election certification deadlines. Former GA election workers settle defamation lawsuit against rightwing media outlet over its 2020 election lies.

| 2024 Election: Trump's escalating fascist rhetoric
|
| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Donald Trump's anti-immigrant, anti-free press, anti-government, anti-law-and-order sentiment is escalating by the day, growing ever more Hitlerian as Election Day nears. Experts warn Trump is promoting 'actual Nazi sentiments.' Rightwing militias target North Carolina after Trump's lies about FEMA's disaster response. Do Americans know or care about Trump's lean into fascism? Callers weigh in...

Trump and Republicans put their own supporters at grave risk by spreading lies about FEMA's disaster response, and previously voted against funding FEMA at all. Oklahoma's MAGA Superintendent of Schools tried to force taxpayers to buy $50,000 Trump-branded Bibles for classrooms (with profits going to Trump), while delaying purchase of state-mandates emergency asthma inhalers for children, and more.

'Climate Guy' GUY WALTON explains the science of why Milton rapidly intensified into a monster storm, what makes the storm so dangerous to Tampa Bay, and much more. Republicans' Project 2025 schemes to privatize FEMA and critical agencies like the National Weather Service.

|
| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Fueled by record hot waters, dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Milton will strike Florida's west coast just two weeks after powerful Hurricane Helene. Donald Trump and his rightwing minions have unleashed a torrent of lies about the federal response to Hurricane Helene for political gain. Asheville, NC blooger TOM SULLIVAN debunks the dangerous rightwing lies, and explains the robust FEMA response and potential impacts on the 2024 Election in North Carolina. Also today: Voter registration is closing in key states. One year after the October 7 Hamas terror attack in Israel, a group of Muslim imams endorse VP Harris as 'the best option for ending the bloodshed' in the Middle East.

| 2024 Election: Economy and Climate; Project 2025
|
| Original airdate 9-25-2024. Polls indicate that VP Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied on the question of who voters trust more to handle the economy. Corporate media has done a lousy job of educating the electorate about economic facts. Ryan Cooper of The American Prospect explains the incredibly high climate stakes of this year's election, and the two starkly divergent economic paths under Harris vs. Trump, with trillions of dollars, millions of jobs, and a clean, renewable energy future hanging in the balance. The rightwing Project 2025 blueprint calls for dismantling and privatizing dozens of critical federal agencies. A Schoolhouse Rock-style song explains the dangers of Project 2025 to democracy.

| Hurricane Helene, climate-fueled disaster; 2024 Election
|
| Vice President Kamala Harris outlined a number of specific policies for immigration reform and border security. Donald Trump responded by calling her 'mentally impaired'. Hurricane Helene unleashed an unprecedented, ongoing disaster across the U.S. Southeast. Republican lawmakers touted federal emergency disaster funding despite voting to shut down the government just days before the storm. The storm has severely impacted voting and administration of the 2024 election. Sole VP debate will be on Tuesday night. Callers weigh in.
