This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a look at the right's latest culture war idiocy--and how the legacy media is amplifying it.

Then we are joined by journalist Euan Marshall from São Paulo, Brazil, to discuss the similarities and differences between this week's riots by supporters of the defeated authoritarian Jair Bolsonaro and the MAGA Insurgency of Dunces almost exactly two years earlier.

And then Heather "Digby" Parton previews the next two years of relentless nonsense from the GOP-controlled House of Representatives and talks to us about the maddening false equivalence surrounding the discovery of a handful of classified documents in Joe Biden's old records.
