The Results of the Democratic Primaries in Illinois
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the results of yesterday’s Democratic primaries in Illinois. Also, the Senate votes to move forward with debate on the SAVE America act. Then, former New York Times Pentagon reporter and author Thom Shanker joins the guys to discuss how press coverage of the Iran War is different from previous conflicts, the heightened role of artificial intelligence in creating fake news on social media about the war, and strategic implications of the Middle East deployment for the U.S. and China in the Pacific theater. Then finally, they discuss a New York Times investigation published this morning that alleges late labor leader Cesar Chavez sexually abused girls as young as 12 years old. As a result of these revelations, The United Farm Workers is now distancing itself from the annual March 31st celebration in his honor. Plus, they talk about California governor Gavin Newsom who claimed last Sunday that California is a lower tax state than either Texas or Florida.
