On Monday,
progressive activists released a new video of a counter-sting that has
uncovered evidence of right-wing activists trying to sow chaos at Donald
Trump’s inaugural ceremony, an effort to portray critics of Trump who march
against him as violent fringe figures.
The counter-sting was carried out by The Undercurrent which is
sponsored by American Family Voices and the group Americans Take Action, and
they managed to surreptitiously record elements of O’Keefe’s network offering
huge sums of money to progressive activists if they would disrupt the
inauguration and incite riots. Joining
me today to talk all about the counter-sting is The Undercurrent’s
executive producer Lauren Windsor.
Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened, from
the US Intelligence agencies issuing their report on Russian cyber-attacks to
Republicans trying to rush Trump’s Cabinet picks through the confirmation
process without proper vetting. Mark
returns to the show today to talk all about these issues and so much more.

Today on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127
Beginning tomorrow,
Attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions will face the Senate Judiciary Committee
for his confirmation hearings, with committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)
saying that he intended to hold the hearings even before Donald Trump is sworn
in Jan. 20, in order to try to get Sen. Sessions promptly confirmed. However, there is growing movement of people
and groups trying to shut down his confirmation on account of his past actions
and comments. Joining me today to talk
all about the fight against Sen. Sessions’ confirmation as our next Attorney
General is John Nichols the National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation.
Kathy Gilsinan, a senior editor at The
Atlantic, where she oversees the Global section, joins me today to talk all about the reports of Russian hacking.
