"As much as anything he has done, Trump's avowed destruction of Hains Point [Public Park] reveals what a mean, vindictive, greedy, uncaring, evil, egomaniacal man he is - and reminds us how important it is to stop him in his tracks on Nov. 3." bit.ly/My-Column

And who was the Queen’s least favorite President? Again, not Trump. It had to do with an errant (and definitely against protocol) kiss. Another inside story from the great Susan Page from her book, The Queen and Her Presidents. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/CexuX8Z6504

You might recall that the first time the Obamas visited the Queen in England, Michelle Obama caused a huge scandal by touching the Queen. Susan Page has the inside story on how it went down. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/CexuX8Z6504

Susan Page’s book on the Queen and Her Presidents has so much juicy material, I sat down with her for second time. From our conversation at The Hill Center, she revealed how a gift from Michelle Obama led to a subtle dig at Trump. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/CexuX8Z6504

America is a democracy. But the Christian Nationalists want America to be a theocracy. They want us to be governed by the Bible. Not the Constitution. This is how they are doing it. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/3F6PRNaq2QQ

We need to crush the GOP in the Mid-terms because when I asked Congressman Jared Huffman whether we should be worried about this infiltration at the highest levels of government by these ant-democratic religious extremists. He gave a very clear answer. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen

A story I did not know. Remember Liz Cheney? Resistance Hero. A stalwart of the J6 Committee. But she did something really destructive to the final report. She vetoed any discussion of Christion Nationalism’s role on January 6th. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/3F6PRNaq2QQ

Another reason to vote Blue No Matter Who: We can’t put very serious and committed extreme Christian Nationalist Moses Mike Johnson back in the Speaker’s chair. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/3F6PRNaq2QQ

So important is the threat of Christian Nationalism, that I talked with Jared Huffman again. This time before a live audience at The Hill center in Washington DC. Here's the origin story and the current danger. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/3F6PRNaq2QQ

When I was reading Kai Bird’s really, really good biography of Roy Cohn, Cohn’s evil acts made me want to take a shower after each chapter. I asked Bird how he slept at night. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/FvB4J7mezHw

During his first term, Donald Trump reportedly asked (“very strongly” as Trump would say) “Where is my Roy Cohn?” I asked Cohn biographer Kai Bird what Trump meant by that. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/FvB4J7mezHw

We all have people we admire. Our parents, MLK, Ghandi, religious figures. But who does Trump admire? The horrible human being who destroyed lives, who lied and cheated and stole. McCarthy and Mob lawyer, sex addict, Roy Cohn. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/FvB4J7mezHw

We know Trump had one close friend, child molester Jeffrey Epstein. But Roy Cohn was another close friend. Even though all of New York, including the young Donald Trump, knew Cohn was evil. Seeing a pattern here? bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/FvB4J7mezHw

One man mentored two of the most destructive political figures in American History. His name, Roy Cohn. His mentees? Senator Joseph McCarthy and Donald Trump. To understand Trump, Author Kai Bird says look to the (low)life of Cohn. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/FvB4J7mezHw

I’m grateful to the four great women who handled this week’s news on The Roundtable as I'm travelling with my wife. And don’t miss their powerful discussion of the Sexual Assault case at Cornell. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/fU0yIWAsLQk
