Happy Monday! Are you all back from Netroots Nation, and/or planning on going next year?
You probably already know what’s going to be on the show today, because you have unbelievable intelligence, and you’re more humble than I can probably understand.
And yes, we’re under yet another mass shooting cloud this morning. Though it’s becoming difficult to tell where one ends and the next one begins. It used to be gallows humor to say that by the time it was no longer “too soon” to discuss one mass shooting, we’d be seeing another. Now it’s just literally true. Thankfully, we forced the abandonment of the “too soon” dodge some time ago, and we can get right down to business.
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!

David Waldman continues to pine for the camaraderie and conversation at Netroots Nation. If you too would like to pretend you’re hanging with the smart crowd in St. Louis, MO, listen to today’s KITM for coverage of the latest conversational topics! David assumed that Greg Dworkin would be visiting today, and you know what that makes you and me? Not as neglected, because Greg rounded up some issues to discuss: The death toll in Nice, France continues to rise. A startled Donald Trump postpones his announcement on VP… Oh, wait he just tweeted it. Mike Pence walks out on Indiana, just as its citizens were preparing a rail to run him out on. Why won’t retailers move into Trump Tower? Clevelanders hoping for a windfall go broke with Trump. Roger Ailes accusers “coming out of the woodwork” after being boarded up there for decades. To reduce suicides, look at guns. David takes an extensive look at The Atlantic’s extensive look at the Secret History of Guns. Blacks are the Second Amendment’s second class citizens. Was the Second Amendment ratified to preserve slavery?
