Gary and Dee discuss current events and politics. Lyn is on vacation this week. We start with Good News! The Sinclair-Tribune merger is on hold. In Philadelphia, Christian adoption agencies don’t have a license to discriminate; and, in Delaware, reproductive rights are protected. We discuss some of the events of Trump’s latest trip abroad. What exactly did Trump agree to in the private meeting with Putin? Putin seems to think we’ll be handing over a former US Ambassador and a British citizen (Browder.) NY AG Underwood is investigating the Trump Foundation. We discuss the lack of election security. Of the millions set aside to protect the 2018 election, none has been spent. It’s almost as if the Republican Administration wants it to get hacked. There was a new executive order signed this week that let dark money to 501 (C) 4 organizations go without monitoring. Could it be because of all the money that the Russians gave to the NRA? We discuss the new rule that was supposed to make Association Health Plans more attractive. It’s actually having the opposite effect. Where is that military parade money coming from? It’s coming from abandoning our ally, South Korea. We discuss the Puerto Rico death toll. Starting with Hurricane Irma and continuing through Maria and today, more people have died in Puerto Rico from the 2017 Hurricane season than died in the 9/11/2001 attacks. We finish with a discussion on the suicide rates of interns. Suicide rates are up in male interns.
