Summary

Episode 712 | John Bolton is OUT! And the world is safer because of it. The irony of the situation is that Trump fired him for fiercely opposing Trump's secret meeting with the Taliban. And as I always say, when two monsters fight, we should sit back and enjoy the show.

I had the chance to interview Brooke Thomas of The Young Turks Network. We spoke about being Black in media -- particularly in progressive media. The full interview is available on Patreon.com/TheBpdShow.

Tomorrow we speak with Cori Bush -- activist, organizer, and candidate for MO-01 congressional seat.

0:41.7	and the Young Turks being the biggest
0:44.0	progressive media platform in the world. I think it I really just enjoy talking
0:50.8	with her. I've had a chance to speak with her before and you know was
0:54.9	so impressed by her her wealth of knowledge that goes far beyond what you even

1:04.8	But today I talked with her about being black in media, being a black person in media, particularly
