Episode Details

At Tuesday night's debate, Kamala Harris showed exactly how to stand up to a bully, forcing Trump to back down from a second debate. Watch our recent video on the debate and the dread many of us were feeling, in the show notes. Don't miss our next debate party in the Victory Chat on Patreon, where Tim Walz will take the stage against Kremlin shill and Thiel puppet JD Vance. Join us on October 1 at 9pm ET.

This week's bonus show includes the scandal of "Russians at War," a Western-funded Russian propaganda film that shamelessly leans on the Nuremberg Defense: "We were just following orders." We also cover Republican pollster Frank Luntz's visible agony as he admits the debate cost Trump the election, who's actually the greatest danger to our pets, the MAGA/Kremlin nexus fueling anti-American terrorism, and Biden's latest effort to combat Kremlin disinformation ahead of the 2024 election.

Plus, we feature insights from Michael Podhorzer, hailed by TIME magazine as a key architect of the movement that safeguarded the 2020 election. (The Gaslit Nation community also helped!) This week's bonus show, available to Truth-teller level subscribers ($5/month) and higher, includes his take on protecting the 2024 election. An excerpt is available for all.
