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.'

He guided the Institute for Policy Studies for nearly a decade. Robert also served as issues director for the Jesse Jackson 1988 presidential campaign, and consulted on many progressive campaigns, including Senator Paul Wellstone and most recently, Representative Jamie Raskin.

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/)
