California Crisis

Crews are actively battling the flames that have already devastated much of the Pacific Palisades and are now threatening to spread eastward, potentially affecting more neighborhoods in America's second-most populous city. Plus, President-Elect Trump will be leading the federal response to the disaster upon taking office in just nine days. Later in the show, Henna Hundle, a Public Health Researcher at Stanford University and a Delegate to the United Nations Climate Change Conferences will join us to discuss the report from the World Meteorological Organization, which stated that 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record.

Historic Day

In this episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses the upcoming fourth anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Congressional investigators assert that the attack was instigated by then-President Trump, who refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. On this anniversary, a Republican-majority Congress will certify the results of the 2024 election, which could potentially bring Trump back to the White House. Plus, the nation is still dealing with the aftermath of a tragic New Year's attack in New Orleans that resulted in 15 deaths, including that of the perpetrator. President Biden is scheduled to visit the city tomorrow to offer comfort to its residents. We have new information about the events leading up to this incident and how it could have been even more deadly. Later in the show, former New York Congressman Max Rose and former Pennsylvania Congressman Charlie Dent will join us to discuss the new members of Congress, the January 6 incident, the $15 billion takeover of U.S. Steel by Japan's Nippon Steel, and the veteran who tragically killed 14 people in New Orleans that appeared to be inspired by ISIS ideology. All this and more is coming up.

It Was The Farce Before Christmas

On this episode of Politics Nation, millions of federal employees will be able to observe Christmas with the comfort of an open government, after congress narrowly avoided a government shutdown late Friday. Leading up to that breakthrough was a series of public battles among republicans pointing to a very chaotic next congress. The condemnations of billionaire Elon Musk seemed to carry as much weight with GOP lawmakers as President-elect Donald Trump. After whipping up the votes to fund our government over the objections of Trump and Musk, Mike Johnson may become the next republican speaker to be axed when congress returns from recess in January. South Carolina democrat James E. Clyburn joins the show to discuss the current speaker’s fate and the waning influence of the president-elect. Plus, Tony-Award winning actor and co-director of the brand new Broadway play “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical” James Monroe Iglehart joins the show later.

The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force.

No public figure has a more repulsive history of pure evil and corruption than Al Sharpton (Tawana Brawley, etc.) Please do not support this person. The fact that Apple chose to highlight this podcast frankly disgusts me.
