March 29, 2024 These days, with the Trump campaign flailing and Trump himself in need of massive amounts of cash to pay off his legal bills and judgements, the right-wing machine is in need of new and more creative ways to sheer its flock. The newest grift is a Trump bible that caters to Christian Nationalists and those who believe that religion should replace democracy in America. We discuss this grift and the very real danger behind it with Rachel Laser – CEO of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.

March 28, 2024 Right-wing political elites are simply laughing at the justice system here in America … and they are paying no consequences for it. In just the last week, Trump had his bond in the NY fraud case reduced, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had federal fraud charges dropped, and CPAC goon Matt Schlapp settled his harassment case without ever facing a judge. Meanwhile, a new report just dropped that says the billionaire class in American increased its wealth by 88% just in the time since the pandemic. We discuss this report, and the concept of the rich being truly above the law, with Omar Ocampo of The Institute for Policy Studies.

March 27, 2024 For as long as there have been corporations, those corporations have wanted full control of their industries so they can make the maximum profit with a minimum of responsibility to the public. And every time we give corporations this kind of power, they put profit over safety, and people end up getting hurt, or killed. Boeing is the latest example of this, and their willingness to cut corners that literally cause planes to fall from the sky, should surprise no one. We discuss Boeing’s responsibility, and if they will be held accountable, with Rick Claypool – Research Director at Public Citizen.

March 25, 2024 During the Reagan administration, we started a massive selloff of American manufacturing, choosing to buy cheap goods from China rather than make things here to be used here. It was a massive windfall for the wealth class, but since this time, the working class has lost trillions in wealth, and it all went to the top 1%. Now the Biden administration is trying to bring American manufacturing back, and working people are beginning to notice. Our guest today is Roxanne Brown of the United Steelworkers, who joins us to discuss their recent endorsement of Joe Biden, and why he is the only good choice for American workers.

March 25, 2024 Saying things that aren’t entirely true has long been an American tradition during election season, but this time around, there appear to be no guardrails of any kind between the truth and the boldest of lies. Depending on which network they’re on, Republicans are either openly laying out their plans to gut Social Security & Medicare in order to “save” them, or they’re angrily denying that such a plan exists and shouting at Democrats for quoting them too accurately. In a world in which we are forced to ignore what they say, we instead look at what they do, or what they say they will do if they win … and it ain’t good for working people.

March 22, 2024 Corporations will do anything – and we mean anything – to keep profits away from workers and funnel them to the rich. Layoffs, stock buybacks, offshore tax havens – that’s where most of the money you earn goes, and the way to get it back is to join a union. We discuss this and more with Raymond Jensen of the United Auto Workers on today’s program.

March 21, 2024 Many of us use Tik Tok. Some of us are fully addicted to it. But whether it’s an addiction or an occasional distraction, this much is true: every bit of data we create as we watch is being mined by foreign adversaries who will use whatever info they get to hurt us. And the real owner of Tik Tok is the Chinese Communist Party. We discuss the proposed Tik Tok ban – and if it’s going too far – with China policy expert Emily de La Bruyere of Horizon Advisory.

March 20, 2024 Every time we privatize a public need to create a profit motive, people get hurt. Nowhere is this more evident than in our push to privatize Medicare. Our guest today is Jenn Coffey, a former State Representative and EMT who bought into the privatized Medicare Advantage program, and then had the audacity to get sick and need care. Since then, it’s been denial after denial, and red tape wrapped in red tape – it’s a cautionary tale, and one that is becoming more American every day.

March 19, 2024 American workers are more productive now than they have been at any point in human history, yet this increase in productivity is not leading to better lives for American families. The massive increase in profits is being entirely gobbled up by the wealth class. Bernie Sanders has just proposed a bill to address part of this injustice by creating a standard 32-hour workweek.

March 18, 2024 While the right-wing media machine has always fed its audience a ridiculous amount of lies and conspiracy theories, they seem to have created more “believers” for these lies ever since Trump came down that escalator in 2015. Now we can’t leave the house without running into half a dozen tinfoil hat-wearing flat-earthers who believe vaccines have microchips in them. We discuss the appeal of conspiracy theories and how they are used to manipulate us into voting against our interests, or not at all.

March 15, 2024 It never ceases to amaze us just how cruel working-class Americans can be to one another, and we discuss this, and what we believe is causing it, at length in today’s episode. We also highlight the dysfunction in today’s GOP, in which Donald Trump has taken over the RNC and turned it into his personal slush fund, and how this ongoing march toward authoritarianism is causing GOP House members to leave their seats and quit the party at a staggering pace.

March 14, 2024 Both Biden & Trump have now crossed the delegate thresholds to win the nominations of their parties, setting up what will be the longest and likely the ugliest general election campaign in American history.

March 13, 2024 Now that there are only two candidates left in the presidential race, it’s time to talk about their differences. Not this poll or that poll, or who has more trouble speaking in public – but what each man will do should he become (or remain) the leader of the free world.

March 11, 2024 In one of the most critical and high-pressure moments of the Biden presidency, Joe delivered a fiery speech, taking on his rivals and the corporate media’s constant attacks on the ability of a man of his age to run the country. And while the post-speech reviews will take on their expected partisan slants, the idea that “Joe is too old” is quickly becoming a silly position that only the bought and paid for talking heads will dare to keep pushing. We break down the speech with Sarah Burris of RawStory.

March 7, 2024 Put simply, when we engage with the world through free trade, some of our partners just don’t play fair. Some countries artificially manipulate everything from wages to safety to child labor, or they simply dump junk products into the market at low prices to chase competition away. In emerging markets, like clean energy, electric vehicles, and more, this manipulation is making competition anything but fair, and China in particular seems to be willing to do just about anything to make it even less fair. We discuss this and more with guests Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing and Dave Madland of The Center for American Progress.

March 5, 2024 Legacy media is running story after story about a new CBS poll that has Trump leading Biden nationally, telling us why we should all panic about it. We take a different approach, pointing a finger at media itself and the unwillingness of Democrats and left-leaning interests to engage at all in the ongoing information war that is so clearly happening every day in America. We have surrendered the airwaves to the billionaire class, and they are filling the space with the kind of propaganda that would make even Putin blush. And Americans are eating it up.
