Episode Details

John got hung up in the recent storms and was trapped at various airports so thankfully - democratic strategist Max Burns jumped in last minute and helped out. Max Burns takes the reins diving into Trump's recent comments about Cuba, where he mistakenly claims the island is not in a hurricane zone. This absurdity sets the tone for a discussion filled with political satire and insights. Then, joining Max is Salt Lake City Council member Ava Lopez Chavez, who brings to light the alarming news that the Department of Homeland Security has secretly negotiated a deal to turn a warehouse in Salt Lake City into one of the nation's largest immigrant detention camps. Ava passionately discusses the implications of this deal, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in government actions that affect local communities. As the conversation unfolds, veteran journalist Brian Karam joins to provide his perspective on the ongoing chaos in Washington. He highlights the dysfunction within Congress and the alarming shift towards voter suppression tactics, particularly through the proposed Save America act. Brian's insights shed light on the potential consequences of these actions for American democracy and the urgent need for civic engagement.
