Jim Jordan is one of several people encouraging Donald Trump to fire tens of thousands of federal workers if he retakes the White House in order to "send a message" that disloyalty will not be tolerated. These are career civil servants who are just doing a job, but they could end up standing in the way of some of Trump's more radical proposals, and THAT is why people like Jordan want Trump to clean house. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

When Marlena Stell suffered a miscarriage last year in Texas, she says she begged her doctor for help but instead was forced to go for weeks with fetal remains inside of her because of strict anti-abortion laws. It's a story that could become more common after Roe v. Wade was overturned. She joins Geoff Bennett to discuss. - Aired on 07/30/2022.

Tonight, an unknown amount of Chinese space debris entered the Earth’s atmosphere, crashing into the Indian Ocean. Early videos surfaced on social media out of Malaysia showing what appear to be pieces of China’s most powerful rocket burning up on re-entry. The rocket launched last week took a new science lab to China’s Space Station. Once delivered, the rocket was in free fall. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said the risk to the general public was low, but NASA criticized China for the lack of transparency. - Aired on 07/30/2022.

We have insurrectionists running for reelection to Congress. We have the insurrectionist-in-chief, Donald Trump, flirting with another presidential run.
The good news is, the 14th Amendment prohibits insurrectionists from getting re-elected to public office. But how is section 3 of the 14th Amendment enforced?
One way its being enforced is by the truly heroic efforts of John Bonifaz and his organization Free Speech For People. They're filing lawsuits against insurrections in Congress - from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Paul Gosar, and others - and seeking to have judges disqualify them from the ballot for there conduct in connection with the January 6 insurrection.
I sat down with John for an extended conversation about his democracy-saving efforts. - Glenn Kirschner - 07/30/2022.

Trump's Criminal Intent Exposed: How Jan. 6 Plan Emerged From Military Coup Plot - MSNBC - Part 1
Donald Trump only turned to his plan to summon MAGA supporters to D.C. on Jan. 6th, which grew into the criminal insurrection, after the failure of other plots to steal the election. MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber charts exactly how Trump shifted to embrace that Jan. 6 plan, and how new the details add to evidence of actual, "criminal intent" by Trump and his aides -- a requirement for any indictment and criminal trial.
Ari Melber documents eight different plots to overturn the 2020 election for this MSNBC Special Report, "Inside Trump's Election Plot." The original special, broadcast after the conclusion of the Congressional hearings into Jan. 6, draws on government evidence, testimony, primary documents, independent reporting, and some of Melber's own newsmaking interviews with participants, subjects and one indicted White House aide, Peter Navarro, to show how the effort to overturn the election reflected an attempted conspiracy over several months -- and not only the narrower set of events surrounding January 6, 2021. The distinction could prove pivotal to any criminal conspiracy case against the exposed election plots.
