Daily Kos Radio is LIVE at 9 AM ET!
Happy Monday!
It’s also Pearl Harbor Day, of course. But nobody says Happy Pearl Harbor Day, and I wanted to start out on an up note. Particularly since today might finally be the day we dive back into that whole ISIS/Middle East thing, and that’s a bit of a downer.
But perhaps something stupid, crazy, spectacular or dangerous will intervene?
No one knows! Least of all, me! That’s what makes it all so terribly exciting!
Listen LIVE right here at 9:00 AM ET!
Kagro in the Morning show podcasts are also available through iTunes.
SUPPORT SERIOUSLY GOOD MEDIA!
Hey, we put on a pretty good show, if I do say so myself, and we do it five days a week for two hours a day. I think we provide a product that's pretty unique in the radio and podcasting sphere, and we go into stories at a level of detail that's hard to find elsewhere, even right here at Daily Kos. "We'll have to leave it there," is something you'll never hear. Does that sound like media you'd like to help support? OK, well, would you do it anyway? If the Kagro in the Morning show is a fun, important or medically necessary part of your day, consider adding your ongoing support for what we do, through my Recurrency.us page.

Yay! We, and David Waldman make it through a show without a mass shooting! Of course there will be another coming along soon…. Greg Dworkin brings us the polling and news: Trump is way ahead, how about that? He does know how to throw a rally. Trump meets with the Gop Jewish Coalition, reminds them that some of his favorite stereotypes are Jewish. Not many were won over, though. Does Trump (or Kasich) understand what it means to be “prejudiced”? The big money’s still on Marco Rubio, but when is Rubio going to win a primary? Can he even win a primary? Or could he just win anyway? If you are into image advantages, Hillary Clinton has a bigger one than Bernie Sanders. Armando talks to David on the difference between talking it out and writing it out, and the advantages of listening to KITM. Joan McCarter reminds us to mark our calendars: One more week until the government shutdown! Medical groups push for repeal of gag order on gun violence research. House Republicans leave Planned Parenthood defunding out of spending mix, for now. Senate Republicans vote to repeal Obamacare, defund Planned Parenthood, let terror suspects buy guns. Chris Christie tries to show toughness by being more of a tough guy, by demanding evidence that orphans get adopted, questioning the value of allies (and alleys), and of course supporting torture. At some point a refusal to "look backward" becomes a failure to "look forward”.
