On Wednesday, President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy discussed the nation's looming debt ceiling crisis for the first time. The meeting, which lasted over an hour, yielded no agreements on how the government should move forward to raise the country's debt limit. Although the White House expressed that both leaders have a "shared duty" to avoid a default, President Biden has maintained that he will not negotiate with the GOP to resolve the economic issue at hand. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses his takeaways from the meeting, what legislation can be passed before the deadline on the default, and the relationship dynamics between the President and Speaker.   This week, the Pentagon found and tracked a suspected spy balloon sent by China into United States airspace. On Friday, China's Foreign Ministry made a statement apologizing, calling the device a civilian "airship." Pentagon Spokesman General Patrick Ryder said Friday that the U.S. Military would not specify the location of the balloon, but that it did not pose a threat to anyone on the ground. FOX News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin explains how the breach of airspace puts diplomacy at risk, what message China is sending, and how it impacts the country's already tense relationship with China.

Hope & Action Episode 4: Professor Andrew Ross on Creditocracy

We’re especially excited to be sharing our conversation with Professor Andrew Ross. Specialising in Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University, Ross wrote the movement literature text ‘Creditocracy: and the Case for Debt Refusal’ which provided the main inspiration behind our feature length documentary, ‘Bank Job’ (currently in production). As a university professor, Ross was unsettled by the reality that the vast majority of students were reliant on credit to access higher education. This sparked his involvement as one of the founding members of Occupy Student Debt, the Strike Debt movement and the Rolling Jubilee campaign. The fundamental goal behind these educational movements (and this interview!) is to alter the psychology of the debtor; undoing the guilt and shame that surrounds indebtedness by elucidating the workings of the debt industries. SUBSCRIBE for more conversations with leading thinkers striving for economic change. For a more thorough insight into Ross’ instrumental ideas, here’s a link to ‘Creditocracy’: https://amzn.to/2PR4GIy And here’s the FREE Strike Debt’s Debtors’ Resistance Manual: https://strikedebt.org/The-Debt-Resistors-Operations-Manual.pdf

Thunder Bay, Ontario and Bay Area artist Cassie Thornton talks about: Her origins in northern Illinois, where she mainly grew up with a mom who struggled financially and was at the cutting edge of the downside of the financial crash, which planted an early seed for Cassie to eventually make artwork about debt; how she applied to CCA’s (California College of the Arts) Social P-Word program 3 months after the deadline, in a fever dream, and went on to have a seminal experience there, including attempting to start an artist-in-residence in the school’s finance department, and other feats of radical imagination; the genesis of her seminal artwork, “Give Me Cred!,” which started with her and a colleague deciding to not pay their credit card bills, and eventually led to her creating alternative credit reports for people based on their wherewithal to survive ‘a financial system that’s trying to eat them alive,’ and then become a way for them to get jobs and apartments; exactly why she advertises on her website, thefeministeconomicsdepartment.com, that “if you steal my idea, tell me how it goes;” why she moved to Thunder Bay, Ontario (primarily to co-run the ‘Reimagining Value Action Lab’ with Max Haiven at Thunder Bay University, but also for other reasons); why she finally gave up living in the Bay Area, after having lived in a succession of  6 places over a very short period; her Oakland pop-up real estate project ‘Desperate Holdings,’ which was part spa, part faux real estate agency and  total social engagement project, in which she got to know many of the residents, including becoming friends with a woman who was nearly a daily presence there; and her video “I trusted you I trusted you I trusted you,” a marginalized yet epic piece which is representative of the out-of-the-box work that has led to a very bizarre fan base, including a feminist hedge fund that reached out to her to be their artist-in-residence.

In the final episode with Art After Money author Max Haiven, we talk about: The history of and the current fate of artist collectives, as prompted by a listener’s thoughtful question; Le Freeport, the ultimate art storage facility, a crypt-like structure which Max visited in Singapore, and describes his experience of being there, and subsequently we discuss what a Freeport, a crypt for rich people’s art and antiques, means for the greater world of financialization; the structural violence (systemic violence) committed by the global capitalist elite, and their tendency to morally insulate themselves from their actions, up to and including building escape hatches and bunkers from New Zealand to Mars; Debtfair and Strike Debt, collectives that formed out of Occupy Museums, which itself was spawned through Occupy Wall Street; the art world politics that led to the creation of Art Prize, and how its populist response to the secretive and collusion-oriented market art world has been a problematic response; how Debt Fair, which was included in the 2017 Whitney Biennial, operates by calling out the institutions and sometimes even individuals whom participants are literally indebted to; what the future of debt in the U.S. and beyond looks like, vis-à-vis mainstream political support for eliminating debt; the Commons, as seen in collectives formed during the Occupy movement and also how they manifest in relation to art and the history of art; Max’s call for the abolition of art as borne out of the abolition of prisons, and in asking the question “what if were to abolish art?,” including museums, galleries and other institutions, what would creativity then look like?; and how everyone, not just billionaires, but even artists, create structures of avoidance to carry on with our work and not get into too dark of a place.

This week, a special holiday episode featuring conversations with Astra Taylor and Thomas Gokey of the Debt Collective plus worker cooperative organizer Esteban Kelly. We launched Team Human a little less than a year ago with little fanfare or promotion. Steadily we’ve assembled a formidable team of listeners via word of mouth, retweets, and person-to-person conversation. We’d like to take this week to introduce our more recent listeners to two conversations that set the tone for Team Human. Today’s show begins by going all the way back to very first Team Human interview with Astra Taylor and Thomas Gokey, co-founders of Strike Debt, Rolling Jubilee and most recently the Debt Collective. The Debt Collective is a direct action campaign that leverages the collective power of debtors, united together, against exploitative for-profit education and lending institutions in the US. Astra and Thomas give Team Human listeners a template for hacking real world systems and tapping into the power of solidarity. Join the collective at debtcollective.org. In the second half of today’s show, we revisit a conversation with executive director of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives, Esteban Kelly. Kelly offers Team Human a unique vision of solidarity that begins in the place where we spend 40 (or more) hours a week… the workplace. We’ll learn how democratic workplaces and cooperative ownership foster the conditions for openness, inclusion, and ultimately, economic justice. Learn more about our first episode with Astra and Thomas here and episode #4 with Esteban here. Music in this episode: Fugazi : Foreman's Dog Mike Watt: beak-holding-letter-man , R.U.

The Occupy Wall Street Movement has been a powerful force in representing the 99% who are controlled by the 1%. Strike Debt is an off shoot group who have taken it upon themselves to highlight the gross inadequacies of a system that requires people to go into debt to pay for basic human needs such as housing, education and medical care.  Disgusted by the stories of personal debt that they heard during their time occupying parks in New York, this group of volunteers decided to circumvent the system and began investigating how they could take positive action and make a positive difference to people's lives.  Rolling Jubilee is a very successful initiative managed by the Strike Debt group to help people become free of the burden of debt. Recognising that debt is what bonds 99% of Americans and that by joining forces, with everyone donating a little, large amounts of debt can be bought and literally written off.   Aaron Smith is representing the Strike Debt group in the following interview.  A young man passionate about this cause and intent in creating waves in a system that is crippling the American people.  It is an enthrallling conversation and an issue that we must not wait for others to take action on, but look for ways in which we can play our own part in creating a new world that is fair to each and every one of us.
