Show Notes

Now that Steve Bannon was arrested for mail fraud, will he join a long list of Trump's operators and supporters already behind bars? Is Trump operating his campaign and his presidency as one massive con job? This is simply the latest chapter in Republican "Give us money, we'll give you what you want" grift- and as President Obama pointed out in his convention speech- "the consequences of this.. are severe".

Rick Perlstein has written a new book- "Reaganland- America's Right Turn 1976-1980". As we look back, has any part of the conservative sales pitch not been a total con?

And veteran Democratic Party leader Suzie Turnball drops by- are many of the qualified women running for office inspired by Trump's bigotry, or by a desire for sanity?
