Episode: 10.14.24: Counterpoint host Scott Harris discusses GOP Plan to Undermine Presidential Election; Project 2025's Sabotage of Federal Disaster Response; Sanders Pushes Bill to Stop US Weapons Sales to Israel; the Nuts & Bolts of Progressive Electoral Success

COUNTERPOINT RADIO, hosted by Scott Harris, is heard every Monday night on WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT between 8:00 – 9:30 pm ET. Webstreaming and audio archive at http://wpkn.org

1) Justin Glawe, an independent journalist, frequent contributor to Rolling Stone magazine, who writes the newsletter American Doom. Glawe, who's forthcoming book is tilted, “If I Am Coming to Your Town, Something Terrible Has Happened,” discusses the important issues examined in his recent articles re: GOP threats to undermine the 2024 election, with a focus on the conduct of Georgia's election board and the mass purging of eligible voters in that state.

2) Andra Watkins, a New York Times best-selling author, who’s devoted many months researching and dissecting Project 2025 on her Substack online newsletter, “How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life,” talks about her recent article, "What Nobody is Reporting About Project 2025 Disaster Response," and the deadly disinformation that's being spread by Donald Trump and his supporters that has undermined hurricane Helene and Milton disaster response.

3) Miranda Rector, a member of the leadership team of Jewish Voice for Peace in New Haven, CT talks about VT U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders' advocacy for Senate adoption of the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval that would block the sale of offensive U.S. weaponry to Israel. The JRD is the only mechanism available to Congress to prevent arms sales from advancing. Each resolution applies to specific weaponry, and documents cases in which Israel has used this weaponry in violation of international laws, and in which the US providing this weaponry has violated U.S. federal laws.

4) Robert Creamer, a veteran political organizer and strategist for five decades, talks about his new book, "Nuts and Bolts: The Formula for Progressive Electoral Success," a step-by-step field manual for how progressives can win electoral campaigns - and a textbook for anyone who wants to know how electoral politics really works.
