Sam hosts Ari Berman of Mother Jones to discuss yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on absentee ballots in Wisconsin. Ari and Sam take a look at how yesterday's 5-3 Supreme Court ruling in Democratic National Committee v. Wisconsin State Legislature will impact voting leading up to next Tuesday and the election counting after that.

Sam hosts Stephen Wertheim, the Deputy Director of Research at the Quincy Institute, to discuss his new book, Tomorrow the World: The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy and the political and intellectual history behind U.S. global hegemony post-WWII. Wertheim and Sam begin their interview by discussing the Monroe Doctrine's implications and its role in defining the role of America's assumption of global hegemony. Wertheim explains how the Council of Foreign Relations forecasted how to best distribute world power after WWII and how the American people would prosper under a "quartered" world. However, the CFR determined a quartered-ruled world was not a politically viable option. Wertheim teases out his thesis that interventionists and internationalists together realized that global dominion and a U.S. "world order" were essential to American exceptionalism and maintaining modern humanity. Sam and Wertheim also discuss post-War State Department planners arrived at founding the United Nations. Sam and Wertheim conclude their conversation with an assessment of what's to come as American hegemony sundowns. 

And in the Fun Half: what's Trump's angle on the Hunter Biden laptop, Trump's socialism attacks don't stick with Biden, Trump says he wants to give Americans more money than Pelosi, Trump's got too much cake for the NBC stools, why Trump will attack Kristin Welker at Thursday's debate, Charlie Kirk and the Biden Ideological Gulags, plus your IMs!

Sam hosts courts and law writer at Slate Mark Joseph Stern to discuss the Amy Coney Barrett hearings and what has transpired so far on the first day of questioning. Stern and Sam begin their conversation assessing the Democratic party's strategy leading up to the Barrett hearings and why showing up to a hearing you consider a sham completely undercuts your argument. Sam and Stern also go deep on the implications of gay marriage rights, chevron doctrine, and the nondelegation doctrine. Stern lays out how a 6-3 conservative court through things like the nondelegation doctrine can lead the winddown of American self-governance.

And in the Fun Half: WHO says herd immunity is not a prescription for a pandemic, the problem with Tim Pool, Chomsky addresses political correctness and cancel culture, breaking down the argument of the left withholding votes for Biden, getting a progressive seat at the Biden table, plus your calls and IMs!

Sam hosts economist Richard Wolff to discuss his new book The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself. Sam and Professor Wolff begin their conversation assessing American capitalism's failure to prepare for the Covid pandemic and why the private profit system doesn't work to mitigate against a pandemic. Wolff lays out the shortcomings of the US public health system while Trump continues to fund the military and the arms industry. Wolff compares the US response to Covid to European countries and how their effective social safety net helped keep businesses open and unemployment low. Wolff and Sam then open up the discussion more broadly, asking why Americans tolerate such ineffective ideological policy solutions to bail out corporations and the largest private companies in America. 

And in the Fun Half: The Joint Chiefs of Staff are now in quarantine, Tucker Carlson says Trump is healthy again and covid isn't serious, Nomiki hits up a Qanon rally in Scottsdale, Steve Doocy has cognitive dissonance on Fox and Friends, John from San Antonio's latest election odds, Rudy Giuliani: epistemologist, Fox Doctor says it's lurid that Americans want to know Trump's health, Biden compares Bernie to Putin and Castro, plus your calls and IMs!

On today's show: The Majority Report presents another Michael Brooks retrospective interview featuring his 2017 interview with South African anti-apartheid activist and politician Ronnie Kasrils on how Americans might oppose the Trump administration.

At Deluth rally, Trump says Biden will turn Minnesota into refugee camp, chants of "lock her up" for Ilhan Omar. Right wing radio host calls Ilhan Omar "piece of shit" who "should be executed." MN State Senator Roger Chamberlain lies about his promotion of fascist manifesto. Tulsi Gabbard touts friendship with Dan Crenshaw in Instagram post.

On the fun half: In a segment about AP style guide's guidelines on describing riots and protests, Dave Rubin says it's like 1984. Asked if he welcomes white supremacist support, Trump says his campaign is about law and order. Kilmeade says Trump still needs to clarify white supremacist statement, might have been the "franticness of night." Kayleigh McEnany refuses to say that Trump denounces white supremacy. Fox News reporter says he's not sorry he asked Trump about white supremacy. GOP cuts "Antifa is an idea" ad after Tuesday debate. FBI director Chris Wray: "We look at Antifa as more of an ideology or a movement than we do an organization." Asked if he felt slighted by Biden comments on M4A & GND, Bernie jokes about Trump says he still thinks M4A is right, but supports Biden lowering Medicare age and lowering prescription drug costs.
