Ralph Nader. Hello, Ralph.

Hi, Steve. how about you David?

Good.

Jimmy, thank you.

We're going to focus on all those empty factories in towns all over the country in a

forthcoming book and you'll see insights you haven't heard before.

That's right we have a great show another provocative eclectic show on the show today we're

going to do that but we're also going to be welcoming

back David Halperin of republic report.org who is going to give us the latest on the

state of the for-profit college industry and its prospects under the incoming Trump administration.

We're also going to take some time to find out about the latest shenanigans going on in the
