Few people are more familiar with America's drug addiction crisis than Ryan Hampton. A former addict himself as well as the author of three books on the crisis, including the new Fentanyl Nation, the Las Vegas based Hampton is also running for the Nevada State Assembly in November. For Hampton, America's failed war on drugs and its toxic politics are part of the same “uniquely American” problem of what he described to me as “reckless capitalism”. That's why, he explains in Fentanyl Nation, 80% of the world's illegal opioid drugs end up in the United States. And it's why addressing America's drug crisis, Hampton argues in Fentanyl Nation, simultaneously requires confronting what he considers to be the toxic politics of the country's pharmaceutical and medical economy. A prominent advocate, speaker, author, and media commentator, Ryan Hampton travels coast-to-coast to add solutions to our national addiction and drug overdose crisis. In recovery from a decade-long opioid addiction, Hampton is regarded as a forefront expert and thought leader in America's rising addiction recovery advocacy & drug policy reform movements. An alumnus of the Clinton White House, he's worked with multiple non-profits and addiction recovery organizing campaigns. He's now a prominent, leading face and voice of recovery advocacy and is working to change the longstanding negative narratives about those impacted by addiction, recovery, and overdose. Through his books and media, organizing campaigns, and social content that reaches millions, Ryan breaks down cultural barriers that have kept people suffering in silence and is helping to inspire a new generation of advocates recovering out loud, pushing for common-sense policy. He was part of the core team that released the first-ever U.S. Surgeon General's report on alcohol, drugs, and health in 2016 and was singled out by Forbes the following year as a top social entrepreneur in the recovery movement. Ryan connects a vast network of people passionate about ending the overdose crisis in America. He has been featured by—and is a contributor to—media outlets such as the Today Show, the Associated Press, USA Today, MSNBC, ABC News, Fox and Friends, the New York Times, NPR, HLN, Vice, Slate, The Hill, the Wall Street Journal, and others.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, we are joined by Dean Heller, former United States Senator and current candidate for governor in Nevada. Later in the program, Pete Hutchison of Landmark Legal calls into the program with an inside look at the Supreme Court. -Dean grew up in Carson City, Nevada, with five brothers and sisters. He began working in his father's auto shop in middle school, and there he learned the importance of hard work, discipline, and commitment – Western values that continue to guide him today.Those values helped Dean accomplish his dream of graduating from the University of Southern California, in 1985, and he was later recognized with the Distinguished USC Alumni Award in 2012.His time at the USC Marshall School of Business prepared him to work as a broker on the Pacific Stock Exchange and then as an institutional equities trader.

Prior to his service in the Senate, Dean was the Representative for Nevada's Second Congressional District and also served as Nevada's Secretary of State and in the Nevada State Assembly representing Carson City.During his time in the Senate, Dean served on the Finance Committee, Banking Committee, Veterans' Affairs Committee, and Commerce Committee.

Including primaries and general elections, Sharron Angle has won 11 of 14 elections. Overall, she is a winner!

Sharron and Ted, her husband, then moved back to Reno where she served from 1998 to 2006 in the Nevada State Assembly. Today Sharron is the author of 3 books and owns a small business in Reno.

Outspoken pro-choice advocate Lucy Flores, who still faces death threats for revealing having had an abortion at the age of 16, was backed by the influential pro-choice PAC "Emily's List," the two times she ran for Nevada State Assembly. But when Flores ran for Congress this year, they decided to back her primary opponent. Why? Spoiler alert/ hint: she didn't back Clinton & isn't a millionaire. Speaking of the political establishment, Flores talks about why she's been tempted to leave the Democratic Party, the new direction she hopes it moves in, why she wound up endorsing Keith Ellison for DNC chair, and how the murder of her two older brothers, the departure of her mother, and her trouble with the law as a teenager influenced her life and her politics. Plus we anoint Lucy a troll warrior.
