The moment former President Donald Trump was shot while attending a campaign rally in Butler, PA.

In this episode of State of Play, Greg Stoker is joined by two active-duty U.S. Air Force airmen who have made the bold decision to become conscientious objectors in response to U.S. involvement in Israel's war in Gaza. Senior Airman Juan Betancourt and Senior Airman Larry Hebert share their personal journeys, from their initial motivations to join the military to the pivotal moments that led them to oppose their roles in the ongoing crisis.

These airmen discuss the ethical and moral dilemmas they faced, the difficult process of filing for conscientious objector status, and the support (and backlash) they have received from their peers and superiors. They also touch on broader issues such as the impact of the Gaza crisis on military recruitment and retention, and the growing discontent within the ranks of the U.S. military.

Tune in to hear their compelling stories and gain insight into the challenges and complexities of serving in the military during a time of controversial foreign policy decisions.

A major headache for Gavin Newsome! Several major insurance companies have either stopped or limited the issuance of new homeowners policies in California due to the state's high wildfire risk and rising repair costs.

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters is quite simply a legend of British rock music history. His band created a foundational sound that has inspired generations, and have sold more than 250 million records worldwide. Not content however to be just an artist, Roger is also a well-known antagonist and activist. His support for Palestine has been unwavering; but also controversial.

Roger joins Piers Morgan Uncensored with an energy and zeal most wouldn’t have at 80 years old. Piers asks him about his father, who fought the Nazis in World War 2, but also challenges him on his contentious stage shows, his views on Hamas, and his mistaken belief that Russia would not invade Ukraine. Roger barely allows Piers to speak, which is of course, no easy feat.

The U.S. Presidential election is now less than 5 months away. Working people continue to struggle, as the world falls deeper into crisis and war. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza continues, funded off the backs of American workers, even as a majority of Americans oppose the slaughter.

Meanwhile, the political establishment and media have presented working people with a rotten false choice: Warmonger-In-Chief Joe Biden or right-wing billionaire Donald Trump. We need to reject both Biden AND Trump, who offer nothing but more war and suffering. The billionaires have two parties, we need one of our own. And we need to build an independent movement that can end this war on Gaza and win real gains for working people. We need mass protests at the Democratic National Convention this August in Chicago to demand an end to the slaughter and of all U.S. funding of the Israeli war machine. Workers Strike Back is helping build that movement.

We also need to demand that unions rescind their endorsement of Joe Biden, who is no friend to unions or workers. Instead working people should support Jill Stein, the strongest independent left, antiwar candidate.

On Strike speaks with union educator Joe S about his and other workers’ recent efforts to pass a resolution in the Washington Education Association to rescind the union’s endorsement of Biden, and how we can fight to build a new party for working people.

Russia has captured an intact guidance system of the U.S.-made ATACMS amid the Ukraine war and is studying it. Russian news agency RIA released a video showing a masked Russian expert analysing the captured equipment. The development comes as Russia has been fuming at the U.S. for letting Ukraine use the missile to strike Sevastopol on June 23. Watch for more details.
