Cruz Boos, Fox News Drama, The Uncensored Legacy of ‘Star Trek’

The Takeaway

Coming up on today’s show:

  • By failing to officially endorse Donald Trump, Texas Senator Ted Cruz won a lot of boos from the crowd at the 2016 Republican National Convention. As Trump takes the stage tonight, will he be able to repair this divided party? For answers, we turn to Takeaway Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich, who is in Cleveland and watching the convention unfold. 
  • How have geopolitical shifts changed the Republican Party’s official platform? Steve Clemons, editor-at-large for The Atlantic, discusses the foreign policy strategy of a potential Trump administration.
  • The Takeaway checks in with Code Pink, a group of protestors that’s on the ground in Cleveland, Ohio that have been trying to disrupt events at the Republican National Convention all week. Jodie Evans, co-founder and co-director of Code Pink, joins us. 
  • It has been another bloody week in Syria, with French and U.S. airstrikes reportedly killing more than 100 civilians. Videos are also circulating that purport to show Syrian rebels beheading a 12-year-old boy that they say is a Palestinian pro-government fighter. Rami Khouridirector of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut, weighs in on the violence.
