Summary

Progressive activist and academic Cornel West grabbed headlines recently when he announced he would be running for President under the People’s Party banner. Now West has had a change of heart and will instead be running for the nomination of the Green Party. And, as if on cue, he is already being roundly excoriated by Democrats as a secret right-winger who will throw the election to Donald Trump.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger speak with journalist and author Chris Hedges, who helped persuade West to make the switch, about what a Cornel West presidential campaign could accomplish.

Plus a segment on the baseless accusations against Russia for destroying the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Alec Baldwin and President Joe Biden!
