The Drive with Steve Jaxon spent this week in Philadelphia covering the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
Stephanie Miller and Will Durst visit with Steve Jaxon on Radio Row on Day 3 of the DNC. She mentions that she will be doing a live Sexy Liberal show at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco on Aug. 6. She will also do a show on Monday November 7, the night before the Presidential election, which will go out live via satellite into movie theaters around the country. She describes the convention as “summer camp for politcal nerds.”
Eric Boehlert of Media Matters America joined Steve Jaxon on Day 3 of the DNC, which only feels like Day 7 to Steve. He recaps the story of Media Matters, a liberal media watchdog that monitors and reports on right wing media. He breaks down the questions about Donald Trump’s taxes, his suspicious Russian ties and whether he will agree to debate with Hillary Clinton. They discuss whether Trump is really in it to win and whether he intends to serve at all if elected.
Steve Jaxon visits with Krystal Ball, former MSNBC commentator and now a senior fellow at The New Leaders Council. She describes their 5-month intensive leadership training for young activists, office holders and candidates, who work to find concrete solutions and the best policy ideas.
