So it looks like the next mayor of New York City is going to be a Democratic Socialist, and everyone who does politics for a living is freaking out about it.

He doesn't know what he doesn't know. That may be the best way to describe Trump "discovering" that Middle East conflicts are complicated, and you can't just waltz in and drop a few bombs and change the dynamics. But this is what happens when the president watches Fox News - Fox News becomes US foreign policy, and that should scare us all. Veteran and podcast host Rich Ojeda is our guest.

Some may have missed Trump's odd rant against national holidays, when he said that there are too many holidays and that all of us need to work more than we already do. But the fact he said this on Juneteenth isn't a coincidence. And while Trump's racism is pretty easy to see these days, it should not be missed that he also seems to think that working people have it too easy. Like we always say - the GOP hates working people. Bobby Kogan of The Center for American Progress and Jesse Rabinowitz of Homeless Law are our guests.

After campaigning as the "no more wars" candidate, Trump has just started another foreign war. That makes his promise worth the same as his promise to bring down prices, or the promise to end the Ukraine War in 24 hours. Literally nothing he promised has happened, and in most cases, he did the opposite of what he said he would do. Is this enough to break MAGA? Maybe. We spend some time discussing this and more with Reporter Sarah Burris of Raw Story.
