Later tonight Sen. Tim
Kaine and Gov. Mike Pence will meet for the first time on the debate stage, and
for many Americans this will be the first time they get to know the two vice
Presidential candidates. However, for
those of us who have been paying attention to right-wing politics for the past
few years Mike Pence is no stranger to us, but rather a radical culture warrior
who has displayed a willingness to uncritically adopt the kookiest, angriest,
most deranged positions of the far-right wing of his party. Joining me today to talk all about the
Governor of Indiana and his radical agenda is Mark Joseph Stern who covers the law and LGBTQ issues for Slate.
Throughout his campaign for President, Donald
Trump has been a fierce critic of Iran, denouncing its government as “the
world’s top state sponsor of terrorism” and vowing to take a more warlike
posture against the regime. However,
according to a new report by journalist working with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and the Center for Public Integrity, Trump’s organization did business with an Iranian bank that is linked to terrorism. Joining me today to talk all
about Trump’s business dealings with a state-controlled Iranian bank while at
the time, the U.S. had a sweeping embargo in place which prohibited Americans
from doing business with Iran is Dave Levinthal who is the senior political reporter at the Center for Public Integrity and was one of the team of journalist who broke this story.
