Eclipse madness... I will apologize IF the President apologizes first... Canada has their hands full w/ asylum seekers... Looking for teachable moments... interview w/ Raheem Kassam... No more birds in Guam... What will Steve Bannon be doing now?... Keep your eyes open for 'Lizard Man'... Farewell to Jerry Lewis... 

Breitbart London’s editor Raheem Kassam discusses Steve Bannon leaving the White House and coming back to Breitbart.com. Bannon said he’s finally got his weapons back in his hands, and Mike asked Kassam to explore what that means for the future of the media company…and the country.

Mike is stunned that teachers are keeping kids inside during the eclipse rather than utilizing this teachable moment to, you know, teach actual science. He also was the opposite of blown away by an interview Rick Berman did with Bonnie Tyler, the famous singer of “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” on a Carnival Cruise ship. 

Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau, whom Mike calls “the cute one,” is just as tough on immigration and refugees as the allegedly loathsome and exclusionary President Donald Trump. As Canada saw a jump in illegal immigration and people seeking asylum, the Other JT reminded them that the law applies to everyone.

A while back, Mike made a video showing how easy it is to get on an Amtrak train and transport pretty much anything. Now Al Qaeda is advising home grown terrorists on how to target the nation’s largely unprotected rail system.

Mike reports that 1200 crew survived the initial attack, but only 316 were still alive when rescue tuned up days later. Some drowned, some died of exposure, and many were eaten by sharks…a tale told by Captain Quint in the movie “Jaws.”

Maria Chappelle-Nadal is the Missouri State Senator and is being told to resign after her tweet about the president. The tweet said Trump should be assassinated, but was soon deleted after. This is not the first time that we have covered her crazy antics, but will she really resign?

Security is something that everyone wants as a strong feature when getting a new phone. Apple is planning on getting rid of the home button and bringing in this new facial recognition.

The NAACP of Georgia wants to remove all confederate symobls. How far will that go, and would it apply to every statue that was during that era? The NAACP is also wanting Kapernick to come back to the NFL, and until then they will not attend football games. 

Raheem Kassam, an editor for Breitbart London and author of No Go Zones, talks about Steve Bannon leaving the White House. Kassam also talks about what he thinks Bannon’s goals are while coming back to Breitbart London.
