1) Chris Lehmann, DC Bureau chief for The Nation magazine and a contributing editor at The Baffler discusses his recent article, "The Press Needs to Start Taking Trump Literally," addressing the media's coverage of Trump's unhinged and dangerous comments pronouncing January 6th as "a day of love," calls to use the US military to round up his political enemies, and his admiration of Adolph Hitler.

2) An excerpt of former First Lady Michelle Obama's speech delivered in Kalamazoo, Michigan on October 26th, where she powerfully spoke about the issue of reproductive rights and what's at stake in the 2024 election -- directly addressing the urgency of the issue for men, who's wives, sisters, mothers, cousins, aunts and girlfriends' lives are jeopardized by Trump's abortion ban.

3) David Noll, Associate Dean for Faculty Research and Development and a Professor of Law at Rutgers University, who discusses his new book, "Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy," co-written with UCLA professor of law Jon Michaels, which examines Trump/Republican election denialism, xenophobia and embrace of political violence in the 2024 election campaign.

4) Teddy Wilson, a journalist and researcher on the U.S. radical right discusses the threat posed to the 2024 presidential election by Republican operatives, including the American First Legal Foundation, that are filing multiple lawsuits and laying the groundwork to challenge county and state election outcomes if Trump loses, as well as sowing chaos with plans to delay the certification of election results.
