Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the causes behind this week’s riots in France and Sunday night’s presidential election results in Brazil, where conservative candidate Flavio Bolsonaro ended in first place and is headed to a run-off election on Octobe 25th against progressive incumbent Lula da Silva. Then, they discuss newly announced White House assistant secretary Beni Rai Harmony, a 24-year-old former White House reporter who posted a holiday picture of herself wearing an “F—Biden” t-shirt while holding a rifle. Also, President Trump promises to send a $90 refund check to 20 million American seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums before the midterm elections. Next, they talk about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito who discussed his views of the Supreme Court on Fox News amid speculation that the 76-year-old jurist may be considering retirement. And finally, they take a look at the first day of this fall’s Supreme Court calendar, which includes review of a case brought by the city of Boulder against two large oil companies seeking restitution for environmental harm they attribute to climate change.
