Who was behind the Turkish coup attempt and why did it fail? The possibility Erdogan could be behind it himself. The massive purges in the judiciary, academia, the military. The historical political dynamics of Turkey, and Erdogan’s nemesis, Fethullah Gulen. Erdogan’s shift to autocracy. Erdogan’s media takeover and online harassment.. The irony of Erdogan using social media to save himself.

Then, Sam calls in from the DNC in Philadelphia.

On the fun half (48:00) – Tim Kaine as VP choice. Kaine’s snubbing of Netanyahu’s speech in congress in 2015. Why Debbie Wasserman Schultz has to go. Trump returns to his wife being hotter than Ted Cruz’s, and Ted’s dad’s breakfast association with Lee Harvey Oswald.
