OK, it’s Friday.

I sort of have a plan heading into the show, which isn’t actually all that unusual for the last show of the week. But as always, I can make no promises to stick to the plan. I know you’re tired of hearing it, but this lunatic in the White House gets worse every week, and there’s just no telling what issues—real or imagined—could require our attention before the weekend.

We’ll take a stab at it, though.

Listen right here at 9:00 AM ET!

PODCAST LISTENERS: There’s a new podcast platform in town, and the big news is: this one pays! RadioPublic pays podcast producers on a CPM basis, for listens on their native app (available for iPhones & Androids), financed by pre- and post-roll ads they insert. Not a bad way to support the show, with somebody else’s money!

So if you’re a podcast listener, please consider downloading the RadioPublic app on your Android or iOS phone. Yes, you can still download directly from their site, or listen to the player embedded here at Daily Kos. But it’s listens in their app that count toward payment.

Nothing changes on our end. It’s still Greg Dworkin, Joan McCarter, and even Armando. Plus also, me. And you! As always, we still want your voice on the air with us. Sit down with your smart phone or other electronic recording device and send us your stories and commentary to share with the audience. There’s no easier way to try your hand at podcasting, without all the hassle!

Of course there’s no substitute for having your support via Patreon, or one-time contributions via Square Cash. (And hey, if you want a cool trick for donating sorta-kinda cost free, get their cash.me app and use this share code to get $5 in your account (plus $5 in mine) when you send your first $5 (to anyone)!

For now, how about one on the house? Here’s what we did last time out, on our LIVE show:

Embedded Content

You think you have it tough? David Waldman won the Mega Millions jackpot last night. He just hasn’t reached that threshold of having enough people believe that he did… Special genius Donald Trump, joined at the border by hoards of Hondurans, Guatemalans, ISIS, MS-13, killer bees and ebola hopes to reach just the threshold of terror… Oh, and it looks like he has, as bombs show up in Clinton, Obama, Soros, and CNN mailboxes. (Don’t worry, not the White House) Mike Pence and Chuck Schumer agree that there sure are a lot of despicable people out there. Greg Dworkin attempts to shovel out Trump’s stall as fast as Donald can fill it. The White House scrambles to make Trump lies facts. Republicans have to get past the decade of fighting Obamacare to convince people of their support of it. Pundits warn Democrats to not concentrate on health care, unless that works, or Donald Trump, unless that works. Dems also shouldn’t mention Brett Kavanaugh, although that works too. No one’s thanking Rick Scott for his heck of a Hurricane Michael job. Greg reminds us to not look at these early voting results, or these, or these. Let’s just win these 15 unbearably close races and achieve that Blue Wave. Armando calls in to discuss Republican fear mongering, Democratic backbone, and why you should cancel your New York Times subscription. Also, Henry Waxman didn’t know inherent contempt from a hole in the ground. Pressure increases on Bloomberg to verify its China hack story. Let’s know things. Hey everybody! The FBI’s giving out free Hamilton tickets!

(Thanks to Scott Anderson for the show summary! Please help me pay him more!)
