Coming up on today's show:

  • Wick Moorman, president and CEO of Amtrak, takes calls and questions from riders affected by the Penn Station service disruptions on the morning they go into effect.
  • Ana Marie Cox, host of the podcast With Friends Like These, founder of the blog Wonkette and a contributor to The New York Times Magazine and McKay Coppins, staff writer at The Atlantic, discuss the reporting of a previously-undisclosed meeting between Donald Trump, Jr. and a Kremlin-connected lawyer promising damaging information on Hillary Clinton. 
  • After a list circulated of a Hamptons party guest list that included Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Charles Koch, Ray Kelly, Steven Spielberg and plenty of journalists, Kurt Andersen, novelist, cultural commentator, host of Studio 360 and author of the forthcoming Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History (Random House, 2017), talks about what the bipartisan partying says about money, power and politics.
