1) Norman Solomon, Director of RootsAction.org, Executive Director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, and author - and Jim Hightower, progressive political activist, author, syndicated columnist, radio commentator -- and last Democratic Commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture from 1983 to 1991. They'll discuss what issues the Democratic Party should prioritize when they take control of Congress in January re: affordability, accountability, corporate power, and advocating for bold, transformational policy solutions to the nation's longstanding problems.

2) Kica Matos, President of the National Immigration Law Center, the Immigrant Justice Fund, and a Distinguished Practitioner at Yale University’s Brady Johnson Program in Grand Strategy. She'll share her views of what the Democratic Party agenda should prioritize to end the Trump - Stephen Miller ICE violent mass deportation operation, and her priorities at the NILC, and how listeners can get active on these issues.

3) John Whitehouse Media Matters For America's Senior Director and News Director examines right-wing media's reaction to Republican Party midterm election losses -- from Fox News hosts to podcasters and election deniers. MMFA's recent studies detail post-election MAGA media infighting, scapegoating, and audience loss, while reviving anti-immigrant narratives and fear mongering just hours after the midterm results.

4) Neil Abrams, who writes The Detox Substack newsletter about dictators, imperialists, and war criminals -- and is currently writing a book on how nonviolent rebellion can remove Trump and restore American democracy, talks about the need to reject the idea that the midterm results will be sufficient to blunt Trump & Vance's authoritarian abuse of power -- discussed in his recent New Republic commentary, "If Trump Steals an Election, Here’s What to Do."
