## Resource

Primary elections happened across the country, but some outcomes won’t be known for over a week, as California says it will take 10 days for some vote counts to be finalized. How did we put a man on the moon, but a state can’t count votes in a day with today’s technology? Glenn, Jason, and Rikki discuss some of the outcomes we do know from yesterday, including the possible election of New Jersey House candidate Adam Hamawy (D), whose past puts a security clearance in question. Glenn plays some disturbing footage of Paul Krugman claiming society needs to thoroughly “purge” Trump supporters. Glenn warns of a very dark future if Americans choose this path. Glenn breaks down a recent article on his website, “The Russian Influence Operations Targeting Candace Owens and You,” which exposes the Russian influence that continues to happen to Americans. Glenn warns of the ideological operation that is infiltrating the political Right, disguising itself as patriotism and faith. Glenn discusses the horrific story of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old Englishman who was stabbed and died while in police custody. Glenn rants against tourists who visit Yellowstone National Park and treat wild bison as selfie props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
