Political Misfits

Former US diplomat and former senior foreign policy advisor Jim Jatras joins Misfits hosts Michelle Witte and John Kiriakou to discuss the suspension of arms control talks between the US and China, why Germany would be cutting its planned funding for Ukraine, whether the trajectory of US foreign policy can really be changed at the ballot box, the political fallout from the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump for both Republicans and Democrats, a former CIA officer charged with failing to register as a foreign agent, and US claims that Iran has been plotting to kill Donald Trump.

Co-host of the Critical Hour on Radio Sputnik Dr. Wilmer Leon discusses the atmosphere on the ground in Milwaukee as the Republican National Convention proceeds this week, how the Trump movement has taken over the Republican Party, whether the neoconservative movement still has a place in a GOP led by Trump, and how Republicans are trying to moderate their platform to appeal to more centrist voters.

Labor attorney, human rights activist and author Daniel Kovalik discusses Rep. Adam Schiff joining the ranks of Congressional Democrats calling for Joe Biden to leave the 2024 race, Biden’s cynical proposals to reform the Supreme Court, why Biden seems to believe his foreign policy is a winning campaign issue, whether such proposals will move the needle for the Democratic base on Biden, how progressive elected officials are trying to make Biden more palatable to the progressive voting bloc, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien being invited to speak at the Republican National Convention, what will come next in the case against Trump for mishandling classified documents, the drafting of ultra orthodox Jews into the IDF after being historically exempt, and the government continuing to award contracts to companies guilty of wage theft.

The Misfits also discuss the possibility of Joe Biden resigning due to illness, Biden pandering to the NAACP, and new polls showing Biden trailing all possible Democratic replacements.
