Paul has interviewed presidents, governors, senators, congressmen, local representatives and mayors too numerous to count over the last 25 years. His Twitter handle is @PaulLisnek.
Paul and Brad analyze President Trump's threat to delay the presidential election, and how his attacks on voting-by-mail look to be far more dangerous to America's free and fair elections this fall. They also discuss the latest news surrounding Joe Biden's choice of a presidential running mate.
During the second half of the show, Brad is joined by Robert Borosage, a leading progressive writer, activist, and contributing editor of 'The Nation.'

Brad and Robert discuss the latest news coming out of the COVID-19 stimulus negotiations, as well as Robert's latest piece on the subject titled, "Congress Isn’t Doing the Bare Minimum for Pandemic Relief." (link here: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/congress-pandemic-relief/)
