Summary

Is Trump looking for a war in the middle east to get himself re-elected? As Turkey slaughters the Kurds on its border after Trump's green light to do so, Trump has ordered more aircraft and soldiers into Saudi Arabia to prepare for a possible war with Iran. Is Trump distracting us from his multiple crimes and unconstitutional acts, like taking money from foreign powers and violating his federal lease on the Trump hotel in Washington? 

Author Lamar Waldron joins Thom for a close look back at the history of America and the Kurds- Trump is far from the first Republican president to betray our Kurdish allies.

Plus - the emerging details on the bribes paid to Congressman One by Giuliani's Ukrainian friends who were arrested at Dulles airport.
