It s a great book from a great reporter. I m glad you had him on, chris. Agreed. Have a great weekend. You too. Okay, well, today started yet again with news of bomb threats in springfield, ohio. Yesterday two elementary schools, city hall, dmv and the county court facilities had to close because of bomb threats. Today two elementary schools were evacuated and a middle school had to close. Yesterday the mayor of springfield told nbc news he believes these bomb threats are directly connected to the baseless rumors spread online in the wake of viral social media posts claiming haitian migrants were abducting people s pets in springfield in order to eat them. I should note that the claims about haitian migrants eating pets in springfield are lies. There is no evidence to back up any of those claims. But that does not seem to matter. Here s the thing, a week ago today, on all of twitter, there were only about 1,000 posts mentioning haitians, migrants or immigrants eating animals. Twitter i
Do so on stage with tens of millions of people watching the first time. Vice president harris and donald trump will be faceto face for the first time for a presidential debate in philadelphia. Of course, they would have met had trump attended joe biden s in operation instead of inciting an insurrection. Now, while the stakes couldn t be any higher, the two campaigns are taking very different approaches to getting ready. Vice president harris is staying at a hotel in pittsburgh, huddling with advisers, going through mock debates, preparing for the debate like a prosecutor with interviews, documents, and all kinds of other preparations. Yesterday, she visited a local business and met with voters, antennae, harris and the second settlement visited the u. S. Air force base at pittsburgh international airport, giving a thumbs up to reporters who asked if she was ready for tuesday s debate. Now, trump on the other hand is publicly dismissing the very idea of debate prep. Instead, what we hav

Why her family is rejecting a proposal from the biden administration. And we have a doozy for the worst of the week matchup. It is holocaust revisionism versus hypocrisy and my panel is here to help me get through it. Let s do it. We begin this hour with a tale of two gop factions fighting over the future of their party. In one corner it is republicans who publicly want trump gone. In the other corner, republicans too cowardly to admit it. Let s start with former republican vice president dick cheney who made shockwaves this week when he announced he would vote for vice president kamala harris over donald trump. Cheney justified his support saying in our nations history there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than donald tr
And in the other corner are republicans too cowardly to admit it. Let s start with dick cheney who made shock waves when he said he would vote for kamala harris over donald trump. He justified his support saying in our nation s 248 year history there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than donald trump. He can never be trusted with power again. Cheney of course joined the ranks of notable republicans who have vowed to support harris just like his daughter liz cheney and adam kinsingger. Republicanswho dare speak out against trump have been ostracized. That is why moderate republicans are hoping trump loses and loses big. Some of the republicans wishing for a trump loss include long standing gop figures throughout the nation who bleed red and wouldn t dare to say this publicly but who are more than ready to move on from the trump era. One conservative lawmaker told politico there is a lot of anxiety about what trump does to republican ability to win in
