Matt Welch Interviews Sen. Mike Lee, Kmele Foster, James Kirchick and More from 9-12 AM ET
Listen to Sirius XM Insight channel 121 to hear the latest on Trump, Russia, Europe, media, and more

This morning I am sitting in the guest-host chair for Stand UP! with Pete Dominick on Sirius XM Insight (channel 121) from 9-12 am ET. The guests are scheduled to include:
* James Kirchick, author of The End of Europe: Dictators, Demagogues, and the Coming Dark Age, who will talk about President Donald Trump's trip to Europe last week.
* Nina Khrushcheva, author of The Lost Khrushchev: A Journey Into the Gulag of the Russian Mind. She will talk about Vladimir Putin and the continuum of Russian political leadership.
* Sen Mike Lee (R-Utah), author of Written Out of History: The Forgotten Founders Who Fought Big Government, who will talk about that book and also the prospects for Obamacare reform.
* Denny Dressman, author of Heard but not Seen: Richard Nixon, Frank Robinson and The All-Star Game's Most Debated Play. We will discuss Pete Rose knocking the shit out of Ray Fosse in 1970.
* Kmele Foster, impresario of FreeThink Media and The Fifth Column podcast (speaking of which, here's last week's, including a memorable lil' 4th of July rant from Kmele). We'll talk about, I dunno, race, media…maybe a little Austin Petersen.
Please call the show at any time, but especially in the Kmele hour: 1-877-974-7487.

Ask Foster what Free Think Media actually is. I suspect a front for money laundering of some kind. Nina Khrushcheva I think just got signed to the Tampa Bay Lightning. James Kirchick, I believe, was the "Creator" that Nomad was looking for. Mike Lee sounds like someone who didn't like his last name and decided to drop it (probably seemed too Jew-y). Ray Fosse went on to have a great career as a choreographer, I'm told.
There, now Welch doesn't need any callers. He can just address my concerns for the first two hours.
Pretty sure they produced this film which (I think?) made a bit of coin. Honor Flight
What was the bump-in song around 10:40 am?
Enjoying the bonus edition of The Fifth Column Bingo too.
