THIS IS AMERICA MONDAY

Tonight on the June 23 edition of This Is America, with Jon Elliott...

Jon's guest will be Newsweek's Deputy Washington Bureau Chief Dan Ephron. Ephron will be on to discuss his latest article, ‘He Should Never Have Gone to Iraq’: More borderline troops are being sent to the front, sometimes with tragic results. The article focuses on the case of Pvt. David Dietrich, a soldier with a history of cognitive problems who was sent to Iraq and killed by sniper. In Iraq, it’s unclear whether his cognitive issues had something to do with his death. Yet his superiors had serious misgivings about the troubled soldier. According to records made available to Newsweek, the attrition rate for GIs with health, performance or conduct problems in their first months of army service has dropped by as much as 45 percent since 2004. In other words, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan strain the Army more and more, fewer problem soldiers are getting weeded out in basic training, Ephron reports.

Also Jon will be continuing to read the e-mails sent to Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by Americans concerning the shrinking economy. And of course Jon will be taking your calls at 866-303-2270. So make sure to tune in to tonight's jam packed edition of This Is America with Jon Elliott.

THIS IS AMERICA MONDAY

Tonight on the June 16 edition of This Is America, with Jon Elliott...

Jon's guest will be Newsweek's Senior White House Correspondent Richard Wolffe. Ephron will be on to discuss his latest article, Everywhere and Beyond: Will Obama win Wyoming? Don't be silly. Still, Paul Tewes's job is to make McCain defend his turf. Wolffe reports on Paul Tewes, who led Barack Obama’s winning campaign in Iowa and is now head of the Democratic Party’s massive national field operation to elect Obama. In the coming weeks, he will lead the effort to put the national party under the Obama campaign’s control. The idea is to re-create the kind of success he had in Iowa, but on a much larger scale.
