Kagro in the Morning "Encore Performance" - September 8, 2025, airing September 7, 2026

 

We take Labor Day seriously around here. Which is to say, "off." We take Labor Day off.

Not always, of course. Which undermines the earlier premise. But we're not not doing it today, so who cares?

What we are doing is re-running our September 8, 2025 show. And won't you be surprised by how very similar certain parts of the news still are?

Here's what we were up to at about this time, one year ago:

David Waldman catches us up on the multiple disasters since Friday. Greg Dworkin catches us up on the multiple disasters since Thursday.

Boooo! Trump was booooooooed at the US Open. If they don’t want to hear boos, they shouldn’t invite Trump. Or Winsome Earle-Sears.

Tiny hands, deep throat, Donald K. Trump was an FBI Snitch according to Mike Johnson, the last guy anyone would trust to keep a secret. The Miami Herald and New York Times seek to unseal records on Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, while we all know that Jeffrey Epstein and everyone on the Epstein list has been brought to you by capitalism. 

Zohran Mamdanimentum continues as Americans are beginning to see capitalism about as badly as they do Trump.

LG Energy specialists squeezed into 90+ day rotations to set up a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia were caught in violation of that “+” part, were belly-chained and hauled out of the country. The plant they were setting up won’t be hiring Americans any time soon, thanks to Karen-Republican Mar-a-Lago wannabe Tori Branum. Don’t expect to hear more from Branum but do expect a lot more plants to be shut down.

The Department of War begins its Midway Blitz, which is not a war, it is simply a police action. Why do so many Republicans think Trump is more liberal than he is?

If people die in Florida because of lack of vaccines, it will be a surprise to Florida Surgeon General Ladapo. RFK Jr. will have seen it all coming, as he always does a year or so later. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will save lives in the future by ignoring the CDC today.

Ironically, the owner of one of the most punchable faces in politics, Scott Bessent, keeps wanting to punch others in their faces. This time it was the quite punchable Bill Pulte and for the same reason as Scott picked ever punchable Elon Musk. Scott heard both were bad mouthing him to Donald. Scott almost took Bill out, back there on the cement slab they have over the White House septic tank.

E. Jean Carroll won her judgement against Trump again.
