The Battle of the Ballots: Trump, California, and the Quest for Fairness

About this episode

The episode discusses the political chaos in California elections, Trump's claims of voter fraud, the situation in Ukraine, and public health issues.

Jody Hamilton steps in for Stephanie Miller once again. Her guests this time are John Fugelsang and Dr. Doom, Irwin Redlener. The topics include the chaotic political turmoil surrounding the recent elections in California, where Trump is already claiming voter fraud before the votes are fully counted. They dissect the absurdity of his claims and the implications of mail-in voting in a state known for its careful electoral processes. The conversation shifts to the ongoing struggles in Ukraine, with Dr. Redlener emphasizing the urgent need for U.S. support as the conflict escalates. They also touch on the troubling state of public health initiatives under the current administration, including the withdrawal from USAID and the rising threat of vaccine-preventable diseases.
