Proudly Radical

In this episode it's Las Vegas story time as I share information about and tales from some of my misspent days and nights in this town. I also cover a couple of the news stories of the day (phony emoluments clause, leopards eating faces and amazon cleanup on isle 4).

In this episode we'll head back to 1381 England to provide a bit of context for the protests currently happening in Chile, Lebanon, Iraq and Hong Kong.

In this episode we hope in the wayback machine and visit Forchtenberg, Germany circa 1921 to hangout with some university students. On our way back we'll swing through Guam, the Philippines and Okinawa by way of Lynchburg, Virgina. And finally we'll hope on the team bus and visit the Rockets and Lakers.

In this episode I cover Trump's "ultimate solution", cruelty being the point, stock market manipulation, student loan profiteers chilling in Maui, flashback to Occupy Wall Street, the almighty dollar, ICE/CBP violations of Federal Court injunctions leading to "1250" additional child separations on the border, the game of "What Will It Take", the technical powerlessness of the insanely rich, America as a parliamentary system and a constitutional convention.

In this episode I do a basic roundup of some of the day's news including Rep Cummings' death, Trump's acting Chief of Staff admitting quid pro quo openly, blatant hypocrisy falling out of the President's* Son's mouth, Boris Johnson's failure of a Brexit plan, a massive firefight between the Mexican military and the CJNG cartel resulting in scenes of chaos on city streets, the death of Hong Kong protester Chan Yin-lam and the brutal assault of Jimmy Sham, an attack on an Israeli Rabbi by Israeli settlers with crowbars for helping Palestinians pick olives, protests against the Lebanese government for an unwelcome austerity budget and it's effects and a Quebec based cannabis company that is seeking to undercut the black and grey-markets by introducing a $4.49/gram product.
