2) Jake Johnston, Senior Research Associate with the Center for Economic and Policy Research discusses the current crisis situation in Haiti, i.e., widespread gang violence, the UN plan to send 1,000 Kenyan police to Haiti, The US - Canadian and French meeting in Jamaica to install a transitional Haitian government, and the ongoing investigation into the July 2021 assassination of Haitian president Jovenel Moïse.

3) Hadar Harris, Interim Director of Pen America’s Washington office, discusses their group's opposition, along with other civil liberties and free speech groups, to the recently passed House legislation H.R. 7521, the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,” that could force TikTok, the popular social media app, to cut ties with its Chinese parent company or face a nationwide U.S. ban.

4) Investigative journalist Greg Palast, New York Times best-selling author of “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,” discusses his recent articles, "Court Approves Vigilante Mass Voter Challenges," and "True the Vote admits it can’t backup dropbox fraud claims featured in 2000 Mules film," and how his investigations relate to a recent New York Times story about GOP candidate Donald Trump's active plan to suppress the vote of a specific set of American voters in the 2024 presidential election, "Trump’s Allies Ramp Up Campaign Targeting Voter Rolls."
