Needing the Horse Race
June 17, 2024
Anyone paying attention knows that there is a big difference between how the two campaigns for President of The United States are being covered by our bought-and-paid-for corporate media, and those paying close attention know that even the traditionally “left-leaning” media sources are doing everything they can to cash in on the horse race, even if it means creating a horse race that doesn’t exist. We discuss the seemingly never-ending failures of our legacy media with Craig Harrington of Media Matters for America, and also with former GOP Congressman Bob Ney.

Abusing Workers
June 14, 2024
Unions and workers (particularly immigrant workers) are common targets for right-wing politicians. And now that election season is upon us, those attacks are ramping up. Chris Kobach, Attorney General of Kansas, is leading the charge, and lots of red states are about to follow suit. This and more on today’s show.

Where Lies Come From
June 13, 2024
Election season is always full of lies and promises that will never be kept. But this year, the candidates on the right appear to be trying to set records for empty rhetoric. Yet, for some reason only known in the boardrooms, our corporate media never bothers to challenge the lies. We discuss this and more with former GOP Congressman Bob Ney, and J. Albert Mann, author of “Shift Happens: A History of Labor in the United States”

Shark Vegas
June 12, 2024
Trump is losing it. Anyone who listens to him speak can’t help but come to this conclusion, or something very close to it. As he appears more and more unhinged each day, we are forced to ask the question “Is this tired old demagogue really going to help working people?” We discuss this and more with Ted Pappageorge of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 in Las Vegas, and Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing.

After America
June 11, 2024
The GOP is rolling out plans for what it calls a “post-Constitutional” America, and it’s just as terrible as one might expect. We will discuss this, and also talk about DC corruption with Brody Mullins, author of “The Wolves of K Street.”

Graduation Day
June 10, 2024
It’s graduation season again, and whether it’s high schoolers heading off to college or college grads finishing their academic careers, we are thinking about the worlds they are entering, and how unnecessarily difficult their journeys will be thanks to our wealth class and how they have stolen so much opportunity from America’s youth. We also discuss the week’s events with Reporter Sarah Burris of Raw Story, and we sit down for an interview with Julie Hedrick, President of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants.
