An interview with me on NPR's "On The Media" is posted on their very fancy website here.

Rachel

Happy National Train Day everyone! Rachel will be celebrating later tonight with a ride home to Massachusetts and an AmDog. How will you honor this fine holiday?

On today's show we've got David Corn. Mother Jones Magazine and Brave New Films have dug up video of McCain's "spiritual adviser" that you are definitely going to want to see.

Would Obama campaign help Hillary pay off campaign debt?

If you want to know more about John McCain, if you feel like he has been lost in the Democratic primary storm and he's been sailing along without any real opposition, then listen to the Arizona media, the folks who know him best.  On today's show Rachel will be talking to Rick Hansen from the Arizona Republic who argues in an article today that McCain doesn't deserve the maverick crown placed on his head by the national main stream media.

Did you go to bed last night thinking that Hillary would be endorsing Obama by early this morning and then experienced confusion when you woke up only to see her campaigning hard as ever in West Virginia? If so, it is not your fault. The media had all but pronounced her dead, D-E-D, DEAD. But as Rachel's been saying for weeks there is no primary that will push her to step down. Only the super delegates can push her out. So that is what Rachel will be talking about-- the super delegate math and political realities of having a Clinton in the race. In the first hour Rachel will talk to Rolling Stone contributor Matt Taibbi about his new book, The Great Derangement, and then David Bender will join Rachel in the third hour to talk about the media creations in this Democratic primary.
