It’s Joan McCarter day, and it’s not quite September yet, so we’ll be making fun of/tearing our hair out about the still-absent Congress.
And, hey! Trump’s going to Mexico!
I assume we’re letting him back in afterward. But hey, it’s a weird year.
Listen LIVE right here at 9:00 AM ET!
Who was it that I saw saying that they wished they knew of a quick and easy way to support the Kagro in the Morning show?
Was that you?
I thought so!
Well, now you can help justify the continued occupation of the “family room” at KITM World Headquarters by our “high-tech studio” with simple and easy PayPal donations, or recurring, monthly subscriptions! For you hipsters, we offer the same monthly option, but with a fancier name, through the KITM Patreon account!
And remember, the more of you who contribute, the less I feel like an idiot for doing this. Come on, that’s important!
Did you happen to miss our last LIVE show? You can catch it here, in our new YouTube format, which, theoretically, I think can actually make money if you all click on it a couple thousand times a day, which I absolutely recommend you do, precisely because of that money, which would be awesome!

Once the video version of KITM is introduced, you will be able to enjoy David Waldman’s editorial side-eye. Until then you can only imagine: The National Anthem is the latest hot-take moment, but protesting during it has been a sports tradition for a long, long time. Donald Trump figures there’s room to ship Kaepernick out with the Muslims and the Mexicans. Greg Dworkin will fight anyone that doesn’t agree the Marvin Gaye cover of the National Anthem is the greatest of all time. But back to Trump, who is chipping away at Hillary’s lead. Greg says whatevs, with the polarized electorate it is still a blowout. With that writing on the wall, Trump forces move to delegitimize the Clinton presidency, the media, voting, courts, government, etc. Colin Powell’s foundation and Hillary Clinton’s are treated very differently by the media. Donald Trump blames the media for his lies. The AP pimps out its tweets to make money for the side it respects. In an effort at even-handedness, Facebook starts trending fake news. The New York Post is at least more self-honest. The Clinton Foundation is quite different from the Trump Foundation, on the other hand, the Clinton Foundation works like Washington works all the time. Race relations are getting worse due to tribalism. An accent, or home town can cause discrimination. In today’s conspiracy news, along with hacking one side’s computers, and leaking one side’s emails, Russian hackers have been tied to state election systems, if not to rig the election system, then to increase the suspicion of a rigged system. But, even hackers make mistakes. Did you know that about the time I started doing these summaries, listenership of Kagro in the Morning shot straight up? OK, possibly, maybe a coincidence. Nonetheless, we are all glad you showed up, and remember, if you like the show, tell your friends to tell their friends that they should start listening too!
(Thanks again to Scott Anderson for the show summary!)
