Cliff Schecter Day
Cliff returns to the show to discuss this historic Summer in politics, from the rise of Kamala Harris to Trump's horrendous VP running mate to all things weird. And of course there's some Star Wars talk in there, too. Trump's disastrous interview with the National Association of Black Journalists happened right on time – about 10 minutes after we wrapped the show, so we didn't talk about that, but we'll definitely get into it on the Thursday show.

Joe Conason and The Longest Con
Author and journalist Joe Conason has a new book out called The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism, which tells the harrowing story of how 70 years of scams and propaganda has dragged us so dangerously close to authoritarian fascism. It's such an important volume for many reasons, especially because it provided context in a time when people tend to forget the past.
