Summary
Since the Supreme Court has effectively made corruption legal, the billionaire-lobbyist-corporate machine and the bought-out media and political classes have been busy implementing an oligarchy. This corruption has many consequences small and large in all of our lives. Can the Progressives expunge some of the poison in our body-politic? ------ Dr Richard Wolff drops some deep thinking on us about Venezuela and the weak arguments against the Green New Deal. ----- A brilliant analysis of the North Korea summit and the web of international relations involved with Luke Vargas, Chief Foreign Correspondent of Talk Media News. ------ Brilliant callers discuss some of the problems of inequality - from Trump's overreaching the constitution, to the corrosive influence of private companies like Facebook, Google, Fox and Clear Channel on our public discourse, and why Bernie and Elizabeth Warren are more trustworthy than other politicians.
