As the president continues to attack the New York Times and Congress in tweets and rage at campaign rallies, Democrats fight for progressive values in the Senate and all over the country.
We continue, on today’s show, talking about Andrew Gillum and his mainstream progressive values, with Denise from California.
The blue wave is coming.
It was primary day in Massachusetts yesterday and another political earthquake shook the Democratic party.
Ten term democratic Congressman Mike Capuano was unseated by 44 year old Boston city council woman Ayanna Pressley.
The double digit victory is a political stunner like AOC’s in New York (although some may disagree).
In today’s show we will be talking, in part, about last week’s primaries with Denise from California.

But before we begin, a friendly reminder.
Today is primary day in four states, so do not forget to go out and vote!
From Democracy Now:
It’s primary day in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont and Wisconsin. In Vermont, Christine Hallquist is attempting to make history by becoming the first transgender major party gubernatorial nominee in U.S. history. She is running in the Democratic primary. In Minnesota there are several closely-watched primary races, including one for Al Franken’s old Senate seat. Senator Tina Smith—who was appointed to fill Franken’s seat—is running in the Democratic primary against Richard Painter, a former White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush.
This has been a very eventful week.
We have fires continuing to burn in Northern California causing unprecedented devastation and the scandalous revelations in a new book by former White House adviser and tv personality Omarosa (the President called her a “low life” today).
Then we have the ongoing Manafort trial and last but not least, the anniversary of the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia
it’s a lot.
But on today’s show we are keeping it simple.
Today I am talking politics and the upcoming midterms with Denise from California.

USA Today calls the Carr Fire in Redding, California, the deadliest fire in California history.

Is a blue wave coming? That’s one of many things we will be talking about on today’s show with Denise from California.
At the top of the show I discuss some of the top news stories of the last week or so, including reports that Michael Cohen is ready to flip on his former boss Donald Trump.
Cohen is prepared to testify that The President knew about a meeting at Trump Tower in 2016.
This is important because we know special council Muller has been interested in Manafort’s role in that meeting.
According to Newsweek, during a 2017 raid on Manfort’s home, FBI agents were specifically looking for information related to the Trump tower meeting.
In business news, Facebook stock got crushed last week due to slow growth while in national news California wildfires have set the state ablaze.
In this episode I conclude my conversation with Detective Small a veteran of the NYC Police Department’s Human Relations Unit by discussing solutions in training for the department.
I ask Detective Small to paint a picture of how the New York City Police Department would look if it wanted to improve itself, the quality of policing and its relationship with the public.
The answers were surprising.
In this episode Detective Small gives his views on some of the high-profile police commissioners NYC police department has ever had.
The police commissioner is hired by the mayor and becomes the face of the department. He becomes its message, its spokesperson and it policy maker. He becomes the focus of praise and target of scorn by the community.
