ALS is a heartbreaking disease. Just ask my guest Rachael King. Her husband, health care activist Ady Barkan, recently died from complications of ALS at age 39. They have two young children. Despite all that ALS took from Rachael and her family, they navigated the constant change and setbacks and found a way to live and be together for the six years that Ady lived with ALS. Rachael's grief is still really fresh, yet she's telling her story to carry on Ady's legacy. She hopes to help other caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed and facing the impossible.You can learn more about Rachael's work and her forthcoming book at: https://rachaelsking.com/
Ady Barkan was an American lawyer and a social justice activist. He was a powerful grassroots organizer who promoted policies that help America's workers and was a champion of healthcare for all. Ady was an especially vocal advocate for low-income, elderly and disabled populations. He ended up as a member of that last group after having been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, in 2016. Sadly, Ady succumbed to the disease in November. But his life's work is memorialized in the documentary, "Not Going Quietly." Director Nick Bruckman joins The Excerpt to talk about Ady's impact and influence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2019, the Mexican government instituted a new rule that took mascots like El Tigre Toño off of high-sugar foods. The food industry fought back. And now a similar fight may be coming to the United States. Abdul reflects on the role of marketing in our food environment. Then he speaks with Nick Florko, a reporter at STAT News, about Mexico's struggle to cage the tiger. GoFundMe to support the family of Ady Barkan
As Israeli troops enter Gaza City and the Palestinian death toll crosses 9,000 lives, the U.S. is pushing for a humanitarian pause in the war between Israel and Hamas. The GOP-led House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would provide $14.3 billion dollars in military aid to Israel, but not to Ukraine. The bill is expected to be dead on arrival in the Senate, and President Biden has also threatened to veto the legislation. And in headlines: a former Memphis police officer charged in Tyre Nichols' death pleaded guilty to two federal charges, a jury found FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of fraud and money laundering, and family and friends mourn the passing of progressive attorney and healthcare activist Ady Barkan.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastCrooked Coffee is officially here.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jacob Silverman, co-author of the book Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud with Ben McKenzie, and host of The Naked Emperor podcast on the CBC, to discuss FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried's recent fraud and conspiracy convictions. And, Jacob has a special announcement! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the FTC's case against Amazon, more Eric Adams drama, Trump's fraud case, the EPA, and the US economy, before discussing the Democratic fear-of-ceasefire when doing any messaging – and the importance of that starting to shift Jacob Silverman then joins, diving right into the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former face of Crypto, beginning one year ago today with the leaking of an FTX balance sheet exposing the first strands of massive conspiracy and fraud between SBF's companies FTX and Alameda, leading up to this week's conviction of him and multiple co-conspirators. After walking through the economic exposé, Silverman parses through the uncovering of the farce of SBF's philosophy of “effective altruism,” and the expansive ties of FTX's funds, before wrapping up with why this disaster hasn't tainted the crypto industry as much as would be expected. Sam and Emma also look at the incredible cold-hearted coverage of Palestinians by the mainstream media, and touch on Ta-Nehisi Coates' comments on the hypocrisy of zionist “democracy.” And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Jewish Voice for Peace, the Philly Palestine Coalition, and If Not Now swarm Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, discuss the influence of the war on terror on Netanyahu's regime, and the potential economic influence of the Ben Gurion Canal on Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The GOP turns on Tommy Tuberville, the Las Vegas culinary union plans a strike, and Donald Trump launches Trump University 2.0. The MR Crew remembers Ady Barkan, plus, your IMs!

Donald Trump's two eldest sons testify in the New York civil fraud trial. Don Jr. and Eric Trump try to distance themselves from financial documents at the heart of the case. Disgraced FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has been found guilty on all 7 counts in his criminal trial, a verdict that could send him to jail for life. Health care activist Ady Barkan died at the age of 39. In 2016, Barkan was diagnosed with ALS and devoted his remaining time fighting to improve the American healthcare system. We mourn the loss of a strong and brave individual who embodied the phrase “be a hero.” Neal Katyal, Charles Coleman, David Cay Johnston, Ellison Barber, Yaakov Katz, David Jolly, Conor Lamb, David Gura, and Zake Faux join.
We discuss the passing of healthcare activist Ady Barkan, who turned his fight against ALS into a crusade to break the monopoly power of the corporate insurance giants that are failing millions of Americans. We explain the importance of the introduction of the BadgerCare Public Option bill in the state legislature, and discuss our news conference at the Green Bay Labor Council with lead legislative author Representative Kristina Shelton. The bill is the only one dealing with the skyrocketing cost of health care in this Legislative Session, as the GOP continues to introduce culture war issues that do nothing to improve the lives of average Wisconsinites. In a related development, a new national report finds that nearly 7 in 10 U.S. adults say they receive medical bills they cannot afford and many are skipping needed medical care. The huge Brewers stadium subsidy bill is pulled from the floor, delaying action on the bill. What does it mean that even with a full court press by the unified corporate elite, Governor Evers, and Robin Vos, there are not enough votes in the Senate to pass it. While too many state politicians have been busy trying to ram through $546 million to a billionaire, the City of Waupun takes a rare step to invest public funds in child care after the GOP blocks all state action to address the access crisis. We close by reviewing news the Public Service Commission will be announcing electric rate increases this week, as We Energies says it will accelerate plans to stop burning coal and reaffirms an Oak Creek plant shutdown.

Healthcare activist Ady Barkan has died at the age of 39 of ALS. Watch our 2021 interview with him about how he dedicated his life to the fight for single-payer healthcare.
We spent most of the hour Tuesday with Health Insurance Industry Whistleblower Wendell Potter. That was after I recounted my troubles trying to get new insurance here in AZ to get me through the last two months of this year. I haven't yet told you of the horrors I experienced yesterday while looking for a plan for my final year before Medicare eligibility, and you should be happy about that.But today I toss all of that aside with the very sad news that Ady Barkan, advocate for Medicare for All, lost his battle with ALS and passed away last night. Though we all knew it was coming, that makes the devastating news no less awful. I'll pay a small tribute to the the man who was taken way too soon.As he does each Thursday, Howie Klein joins in at the bottom of the hour. Something happened yesterday in the House that I'm hoping Howie can clarify for us. A vote to remove that lying sack of shite George Santos from office came before the House in, I believe, a bipartisan motion. While most of his GOP colleagues voted to keep the lying liar in their ranks (not surprised), I was surprised that 31 Democrats voted with the Republicans and George the liar Santos remains firmly ensconced in his seat. Most of those 31 weren't a surprise, but one completely shocked me... Jamie Raskin?!?!?!I'll certainly ask Howie what that was about, and get the scoop on the new Magat Speaker of the House too.
David Waldman wishes us a soulful All Souls Day, also known as… erm, Eastern Orthodox “Saturday of Souls”… Greg Dworkin has no holiday plans other than hanging out with us this morning. Not that there's nothing to celebrate. Unions are back in a big way with the U.A.W. scoring huge wins for regular workers and a huge defeat for faux-populist demagogues. The House finds it isn't so easy to scrape George Santos off their shoe, and they're stuck with Miss Congeniality, Marjorie Traitor Green as well. Ken Buck has completely run out of double-talking straight-shooting. Republicans finally had enough with pretending they don't have a problem with Tommy Tuberville and are joining Democrats in an attempt to break through Tuberville's anti-military blockade. At least Tommy still has Ron DeSantis behind him. Of course, Ron is a little hard to see back there. What does Mike Johnson have against banks? Mike was once a Dean of a Christian law school, but not enough people believed in it. Just wait until Christians find out their marriages don't qualify either. The Gop plan to offset Israel funding with increasing debt and the deficit isn't going over so well. Healthcare activist Ady Barkan has died at 39 but made a big impression while he was here. Bobby Knight, who showed Donald Trump that some jerks just can't lose support, has died at 83. Vlad Putin remains undead. Bibi Netanyahu might be healthy, but his days are still numbered. Boris Johnson is okay but might not pass an EEG test. RFK Jr. is no JFK Jr., but he can help kick Trump's ass. KITM Correspondent John J. Ronald is here to help guide the Texas vote.
Since Michel Shane's 13-year-old daughter died on PCH in 2010, he's been trying to make the road safer. He's produced a documentary called 21 Miles in Malibu. The autoworkers' strike is almost over. UAW President Shawn Fain employed aggressive tactics and unapologetic rhetoric to secure big gains for the union and the labor movement at large. Ady Barkan, 39, died this week after battling ALS. KCRW replays an interview with him about the documentary Not Going Quietly, which tracks his fight against cuts to Medicare. Critics review the latest film releases: Priscilla, The Killer, What Happens Later, and Rustin.
This week we catch up with Sprina on a boat, those LauraMaura scenes, Drew's storage locker and Tracey pushes the Dante/Dex agenda.Learn more about Ady Barkan and ALS: https://www.notgoingquietlyfilm.com/

In 2016, just after the birth of his son, Ady Barkan was hit with a devastating blow: He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. As the medical bills began pouring in, Barkan was inspired to take action against what he says is a flawed health care system in the U.S. When his ALS progressed, leaving him paralyzed and unable to speak, Barkan used his ailing body as a weapon in the fight for health care rights, which is chronicled in the documentary “Not Going Quietly.” Host Giselle Fernandez revisits her conversation with Barkan, who knows his time is limited and wants to do everything he can to leave the world in a better place for his kids.

https://www.notgoingquietlyfilm.com SYNOPSIS A rising star in progressive politics and a new father, 32-year-old Ady Barkan's life is upended when he is diagnosed with ALS. But after a confrontation with powerful Senator Jeff Flake on an airplane goes viral, catapulting him to national fame, Ady and a motley crew of activists ignite a once-in-a-generation political movement called “Be a Hero.” Together, they barnstorm across the country and empower people to confront their elected officials with emotional, personal stories to demand healthcare justice and Ady holds groundbreaking interviews with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. As Ady rises to become Politico's “Most Powerful Activist in America,” he discovers that collective action and speaking truth to power offers hope for his family and millions of others.

I lifted the title of the film we'll be discussing on today's show and used it as the title for this episode because it's a custom fit. The film "Not Going Quiety" tells Ady Barkan's story. If you were at all involved in the fight over the last 10+ years for Medicare For All, you likely know about Ady Barkan. Always a progressive activist and organizer, Ady was diagnosed with ALS. He continued his activism and organizing work, pushing for M4A. Director Nicholas Bruckman and Producer Amanda Roddy join me for the second half of today's show. The film premieres Monday 1/24 on PBS' "POV." You can also find other ways to listen at notgoingquietlyfilm.com. But we'll begin today's show with a trip in the Wayback Machine... back 12 years to the day. January 21, 2010, the Supreme Court ruled on Citizens United v. FEC, a case concerning the relationship between campaign finance and free speech. As you should know, it was a democracy-killing opinion that threw open the doors of dark money in campaigns. Then, later that afternoon came the news that Air America Radio had ceased operations. I'll play for you the beginning of the show I did that night... my first post-Air America show, and the beginning of the program I'm still hosting today!
The infrastructure bill finally passes the House. Virginia's election results are in -- we discuss Democrats' losses and how we can fix it moving forward.

Mehdi starts things off talking about increasing extremism in the Republican party - including a QAnon convention in Las Vegas where many Republican politicians are in attendance - with Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali and Mother Jones Washington Bureau Chief David Corn. Then, Minnesota Senator Tina Smith discusses where things stand with the ongoing infrastructure bill talks on Capitol Hill. For Mehdi's “60-second rant”, he puts the spotlight on the 50 GOP senators who voted against Americans' voting rights. Mehdi is then joined by activist Ady Barkan, who talks about his inspirational fight for improved healthcare in the country. Mehdi then addresses the recent decision by the Israeli government to label six Palestinian human rights groups as terrorist organizations. Mehdi ends the show with a chat with fellow MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin about Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick's bounty for evidence of voter fraud - which led him to reward an unexpected tipster.
In this episode of the Behind the Curtain Podcast, I had the chance to speak with director Nicholas Bruckman and producer Amanda Roddy, creators of the documentary Not Going Quietly, a film that tells the story of Ady Barkan, activist and founder of the Be a Hero organization.

Turning to Afghanistan, Whitlock sued to access confidential documents for "The Afghanistan Files." He explains that the war would have ended sooner if leaders told the truth earlier. Then our Walter Isaacson speaks to retired General David Petraeus who led troops in Iraq during the 2003 war and also led coalition forces in Afghanistan. He discusses this longest of wars coming to an end in such a chaotic fashion, what constitutes good strategic leadership and wartime lessons that can be applied to fighting the pandemic. And finally, after being diagnosed with ALS, Ady Barkan threw himself into the fight for healthcare justice, as shown in the new film "Not Going Quietly". Barkan speaks with about his extraordinary activism and love for his family. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Through his journey, Ady discovers that collective action and speaking truth to power offers hope for his family and millions of others. Continuing today to motivate others to use the time they are given and speak truth to power, Barkan continues to fight for a more just world for his son to inherit. He was featured as one of TIME's top 100 Most influential people of 2020 and has most recently been credited with pressuring President Biden to make the recent decision to waive the COVID-19 vaccine patent. Barkan is referred to as “The Most Powerful Activist in America,” because when he speaks, people listen. Director Nicholas Bruckman joins us for a conversation on the physically, emotionally and logistically demanding experience it was documenting Barkan's life and work as well as the insider's perspective on the power of grassroots political organizing he and his team are able to capture.

In 2016, just after the birth of his son, Ady Barkan was hit with a devastating blow: He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. As the medical bills began pouring in, Barkan was inspired to take action against what he says is a flawed health care system in the U.S. When his ALS progressed, leaving him paralyzed and unable to speak, Barkan used his ailing body as a weapon in the fight for health care rights, which is chronicled in the new documentary “Not Going Quietly.” Knowing his time is limited, Barkan wants to do everything he can to leave the world in a better place for his kids and has hope that something good will come out of his diagnosis.

Director Kent Bassett is an Emmy-nominated editor and filmmaker from Arizona. He's edited a number of feature documentaries that have premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, AFI Docs, Doc NYC, and the PBS World Channel. His most recent film as editor is Not Going Quietly (Tribeca), about 32-year-old father, Ady Barkan, who after being diagnosed with ALS travels the country to fight for universal health care.Much of the drive to make This Might Hurt came from Kent's own struggle with debilitating arm pain as a 22-year-old. Unable to type on a computer or even turn a doorknob, he had to drop out of college. Although he saw several doctors and tried physical therapy, strength training, even narcotics—the pain grew steadily worse. It wasn't until he had an insight into the role of stress and emotions that he was able to completely recover.For more information visit - http://www.thismighthurtfilm.com

Actor Chadwick Boseman has passed away at the age of 43 after a private battle with colon cancer. The President spent his weekend tweeting his support for Trump fans contributing to violence in Portland. Twitter has labeled a video tweeted out by House Minority Leader Steve Scalise as “manipulated media”. The video Scalise posted shows a conversation with Joe Biden and activist Ady Barkan, whose voice has been doctored to suggest Joe Biden supports defunding the police. One of Trump's top medical advisors is pushing a “herd immunity” strategy to combat the pandemic. The late Herman Cain's Twitter account has shared an article with disputed claims regarding the deadliness of coronavirus. An anti-masker at an Alaska Walmart threw a tantrum of biblical proportions.

Sam and the MR crew break down the top stories of the past week including protests in Kenosha and Portland as well as the RNC as we hurdle into the homestretch of the 2020 presidential election. On today's show: Mark Meadows says Trump's America is peaceful. New Biden ad shows empty stadiums: "Trump put America on the sidelines...let's get back in the game." On the fun half: Pelosi says releasing Trump's tax return will be a 2021 priority and Richard Neal is the man to do it. Scalise explains why he posted edited Ady Barkan video, says passively it shouldn't have been edited but Biden wants to divert money from police anyway. Ron Johnson refuses to condemn Rittenhouse shooting during Kenosha protests. NYT media reporter Kevin Roose says Facebook is like a parallel news universe. Ben Shapiro says Democratic mayors let people burn their cities, without calling in National Guard vigilantes defending property take hold. Charlie Kirk says decent people rise up when protestors take over, says he's not advocating for vigilantism, but simply asking how do you get to vigilantism.

Greg Dworkin returns for the first time since the Republican National Pageant of Knuckleheads, which no one watched anyhow. This might have been intentional, as contradictory messages could then be repackaged and disseminated to their intended microtargets later… yeah, like they thought that out. As roller coasters go, 2020 polling is kind of tranquil, almost soothing. Is 6 points too close for comfort? Nate Cohn might need about mid-November or so to give us solid numbers. Still, wherever there is a bellwether, there’s Joe Leading in it. Joe Biden’s voters may not be asking for much, but Joe is showing he can deliver that and even more. The former Chief of Staff to Senator Olympia Snowe was concerned about Susan Collins, but no more. Who trusts Jared Kushner? Definitely not Don McGahn. Donald Trump is a lying prick. It is his brand, and Trump is devoted to his brand. Will Trump’s conveniently timed COVID-19 vaccine be on brand? Herd immunity is even more on brand: you do it yourself, and you pay for it. Anyhow, the late Herman Cain says it’s not as bad as it seems. Robert Trump might also attest to that, but of course he also might have been paid off. Trump tried to register to vote in Florida using an out-of-state address. Why would Donald do such a stupid thing? Well, he wouldn’t, Trump hires lawyers to do his stupid things. Steve Scalise literally put words into the mouth of disabled Progressive activist Ady Barkan. Soon, there will be Cameo for journalists, where 50 bucks will get you a juicy tidbit they haven’t yet mentioned to their editor. But for now you still need to wait for their book to come out. The DOJ secretly curtailed FBI investigation of Trump ties to Russia. It must have been a well-kept secret as dozens of FBI agents were standing right there. Rod Rosenstein lands a job with the Other Side. Even Republicans think Qanon are screwballs… but of course they thought that about Donald Trump a few years ago. Here are the Q-nuts running for Congress in 2020.
Last night was the second night of the DNC, featuring beautiful shots of delegates across our gorgeous country, as well as speeches from AOC, activist Ady Barkan, and Dr. Jill Biden.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said yesterday that he would suspend cost-cutting changes at the USPS, but it’s unclear whether the postal service will reverse changes made this year that are leading to delays. House Democrats still plan to vote on legislation that would outlaw changes to the USPS and provide emergency funding. And in headlines: the president of Mali announces his resignation, Uber and Lyft may suspend operations in California, and Trump pardons Susan B. Anthony. Learn more about your ad choices.

For our very first episode, People's TV co-founders Nicholas Bruckman and Ryder Haske sit down to discuss our upcoming documentary about Ady Barkan, a 35-year-old activist who was diagnosed suddenly with ALS and given two to four years to live. He famously confronted Jeff Flake for his support of a tax bill that would cut healthcare support for him and millions of other Americans. They also discuss how brands and nonprofits can effectively tell stories for social change. This podcast was recorded in an RV as the production team traveled with Ady from California to Maine.

Attorney and activist Ady Barkan was diagnosed two years ago with ALS, at the age of 31. Ady has channeled his illness into some remarkable activism on health care, but also on progressive issues across the board, from tax reform to helping elect progressive candidates across the country. Ady famously confronted conservative GOP Senator Jeff Flake about his vote on Trump's tax bill on an airplane last year, in a video that quickly went viral and, for a lot of us, was our first introduction to Ady and his activism. Cliff and I caught up with Ady in the middle of his cross-country "Be a Hero" tour, which you can find more information about here: https://www.beaherofund.com/ Here's a snippet of what Ady said when I asked him why people should get involved in politics: "There are two great reasons to pour your heart and soul into this election. One, our democracy depends on it. The second reason is the one I hope rings most true with people. The struggle and participation in collective action and political engagement is an incredibly rewarding and energizing and liberating experience. And it's the answer to your question about how do I keep doing it in the face of this terrible disease. Being with other people, meeting other activists, being inspired by their stories and their vision and the courage of people around the country, and knowing that I'm in common struggle with them gives me tremendous energy and hope and inspiration and power. I do have hope for the future, even in this dark hour." It's a great and inspiring interview that I think you'll enjoy. This is a 5 minute snippet of the entire 68-minute podcast.

Today we’re talking health care, taxes, and activism with Ady Barkan. Like me, you probably first became aware of Ady when a video of him confronting Jeff Flake went viral. But that wasn’t Ady’s first stab at activism – far from it in fact. A graduate of Columbia and of Yale Law, he could have done anything he wanted. He could have made a whole bunch of money right out of school, but instead, he started representing low-wage workers in New York City in pursuit of everything from paid sick days to the unionization of the car wash industry. Today, Ady is a Director at the Center for Popular Democracy, where he runs Local Progress and the Fed Up campaign. Eighteen months ago, at the age of 33, Ady and his wife Rachel welcomed a son, Carl, and shortly thereafter, Ady was diagnosed with ALS – a terminal illness that paralyzes its victims over time. In a very short period of time, he’s gone from being an active runner and hiker to being in a wheelchair, unable to pick up his son. It’s a cruel and inexplicably random affliction, and after talking to Ady, I found myself in awe of his resilience and thankful for the way he’s continued to dedicate his life to fighting for what’s right.

On today's PULSE CHECK, we’re bringing you a bonus conversation that captures this moment in politics and one of the key voices shaping the debate — a discussion with activist Ady Barkan. A Yale-trained lawyer, Ady worked with the Center for Popular Democracy to push progressive economic policies and reform the Federal Reserve, high-profile battles that led POLITICO to name Ady to our list of 50 leaders and influencers in 2016. But Ady's life radically changed after a diagnosis of ALS last year. Now he's fighting to stop Republicans' tax bill and avoid possible cuts to Medicare — an argument that Ady made in a viral video where he confronted Sen. Jeff Flake aboard an airplane over Flake's support for the tax bill On today's episode, Ady discusses his life, his advocacy work and what average Americans can do to shape the policy debate.
