Season 3, Episode 6 of a View from the Left Side -- Grijalva Speaks Truth to Power ... a Retrospective -- is a tribute to former Southern Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, who passed away after a battle with cancer on March 13, 2025. Time Stamps | Introduction: Raul and Me  | 00:29 | Union Roots  | 02:04 | Background on Today's Speeches  | 04:26 | Raul's Words in 2011 Foreshadow 2025  | 05:02 | Raul Introducing Bernie in 2015  | 06:58 | Raul at the Vigil for Democracy in 2022  | 07:15 | Raul at Stop Abortion Bans Rally in 2022  | 07:38 | Segment 1: PDA Tucson Organizing Meeting, February 22, 2011  | 08:20 | Segment 2: Bernie at Reid Park, October 9, 2015  | 24:16 | Segment 3: Vigil for Democracy, January 6, 2022  | 35:25 | Segment 4: Stop Abortion Bans Rally, May 14, 2022  | 45:28 | Closing  | 50:08This podcast features four of Grijalva's speeches that I videotaped over the years. Segment 1. Progressive Democrats of America Tucson Chapter Organizing Meeting on February 22, 2011. The video in this segment has never been published. It was shot in February 2011, just a few months after the Tea Party victories in November 2010, a few weeks after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot at the Safeway Shopping Center in Tucson, Arizona and one year after Citizens United SCOTUS case. Three hundred progressives answered a tiny Tucson Weekly newspaper ad to hear about PDA and progressive activism. It was an exhilarating evening. In talking about the proposed Tea Party budget cuts and tax breaks for the rich, Grijalva foreshadows the struggles we have today. The 2010 election was the first one influenced by the SCOTUS decision that corporations are people and money is speech. Twenty-five years later, the richest man in the world bought the presidency for $270 million in campaign donations. The billionaires are in charge. Grijalva warned us in 2011.Segment 2. Senator Bernie Sanders Presidential Campaign Rally in Reid Park on October 9, 2015. Bernie drew 1000s of people in a rally  in Reid Park in Tucson, Arizona on a lovely fall evening. Grijalva endorsed Bernie for president. This segment is Grijalva's introduction of Bernie. To see all of the videos from that evening, go to my PamelaPowersTucsonProgressive YouTube channel. (I shot a lot of footage that night. It's all broken up by speaker and for Bernie by topic because he talked for like 90 minutes. My camera battery ran out. Bernie's 2015 speeches are inspiring.)Segment 3. Vigil for Democracy on January 6, 2022. One year after the January 6, 2021 Insurrection at the US Capitol, about 100 Tucsonans gathered at the cancer survivors memorial at Reid Park in Tucson, Arizona for a candlelight vigil and thoughtful speeches from local elected officials. This segment is Grijalva's speech. (Forgive the shaky video, I handed my smart phone to a friend, while I waited in line to speak.) You can view all of the speeches from the Vigil for Democracy on this YouTube channel. There is also a podcast. Segment 4. Stop Abortion Bans Rally in Tucson. May 14, 2022. A few weeks before Roe v Wade was struck down by t

On this week's program, we bring you highlights from a public meeting and open house that took place at the Main Public Library on March 18th about the Downtown & NuLu Street Network Plan. Louisville Metro Government is leading a plan to advance quick-term action projects for streets in Downtown and NuLu, intended to promote walkability and safety for pedestrians and to serve as a blueprint for capital improvement projects over the next several years. The public was invited to come be a part of this planning effort by joining this open house and kickoff of the plan activities - featuring a presentation from Jeff Speck from Metro's planning consultant team! So listen in as renowned urban planner and author Jeff Speck shared his insights on reimagining downtown Louisville through the lens of walkability and why fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment is imperative for a flourishing city. The evening kicked off with Joel from Stantech. Jeff Speck is a city planner and author who advocates internationally for more walkable cities. As Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts from 2003 through 2007, he presided over the Mayors' Institute on City Design and created the Governors' Institute on Community Design. Prior to his federal appointment, Mr. Speck spent ten years as Director of Town Planning at DPZ & Co., the principal firm behind the New Urbanism movement. Since 2007, he has led Speck & Associates — now Speck Dempsey —an award-winning urban planning firm serving public and private clients around the world. With Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Mr. Speck is the co-author of Suburban Nation, which the Wall Street Journal calls "the urbanist's bible.” His 2012 book Walkable City was the best selling city planning title of the past decade and has been translated into eight languages. He is also the principal author of The Smart Growth Manual and Walkable City Rules. Jeff Speck has been named a fellow of both the American Institute of Certified Planners and the Congress for New Urbanism. In a recent Planetizen poll, he was voted one of the ten “most influential urbanists of all time.” Mr. Speck was the 2022 recipient of the Seaside Prize, whose former awardees include Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander. His TED talks and YouTube videos have been viewed more than six million times.

The Readman Truth To Power Hour: Dr. Lauren Anderson, Possible Futures by WNHH Community Radio

On this week's program, we share with you “China, Russia, Europe, and the U.S.: New World Disorder?”, a virtual conversation with Professors Marc Blecher (Political Science) and Ron Suny (History) that was hosted on Thursday, March 13, 2025 by the Oberlin Club of Washington, D.C. The fundamental remaking of the post-World War II settlement—American supremacy in the capitalist world, Soviet domination of the state socialist one, and China's radical rise after a century of crisis—began to unravel five decades ago, a process that is now completing. But, in Slavoj Žižek's poetic gloss of Antonio Gramsci, “The old world is not yet dead, the new world is not yet born. It is a time of monsters.” Professors Blecher and Suny sketch some of the major tectonic forces at play, both within each pole and also among them on the international chessboard, and explore the implications. Marc Blecher is the James Monroe Professor of Politics and East Asian Studies at Oberlin College. His specialty is Chinese politics, and he also teaches Asian politics and political economy, Marxian theory, and comparative politics. His most recent books are Class and the Communist Party of China, 1921-1978, Class and the Communist Party of China, 1978-2021, Politics as a Science: A Prolegomenon, and The Making of China's Working Class: A World to Lose. Marc is now the most senior member of the Oberlin faculty, having taught since 1976. He recalls that Ron Suny became his first friend when he arrived on campus and remains his best friend. Marc expresses pride in holding the James Monroe professorship, noting that Monroe was an Oberlin alum, a member of the Oberlin faculty, a member of Congress, and an important abolitionist. When on campus you can visit the historic Monroe home which is located next to the Conservatory. Ronald Grigor Suny is the William H. Sewell Jr. Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of History and Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Michigan and Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. His intellectual interests have centered on the non-Russian nationalities of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, particularly those of the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia). Ron taught at Oberlin College from 1968-1981 and is the author of Stalin: Passage to Revolution, “They Can Live in the Desert But Nowhere Else”: A History of the Armenian Genocide, and The Revenge of the Past: Nationalism, Revolution, and the Collapse of the Soviet Union.

On this week's program, we share a community conversation about Senate Bill 89 before the Kentucky Legislature. The Kentucky Waterways Alliance (KWA) organized this SB 89 Town Hall because Senate Bill 89 will remove historical protections of Kentucky's waterways by redefining what counts as "waters of the Commonwealth" to include only navigable waters. This would remove all protections for groundwater, ephemeral streams and wetlands, and headwaters in Kentucky. Listen in to learn about the impacts of this legislation. Speakers include: Michael Washburn (KWA), Nick Hart (KWA), Audrey Ernstberger (Kentucky Resources Council), Julia Finch (Sierra Club Kentucky Chapter), Lane Boldman (Kentucky Conservation Committee), Chuck Davis (Beaver Creek Hydrology, Lexington), Davie Ransdell (retired coal mining regulator), and Dr. Michael Flinn (Murray State University). Learn more at https://www.kwalliance.org/news/sb-89-impacts-on-the-waters-of-the-commonwealth Last week SB 89 saw some forward movement: the bill was assigned to the House Committee on Natural Resources & Energy. A date for the committee vote has been announced for Thursday, March 6, 2025. To voice your opinion, you can call the Legislative Message Line at 1-800-372-7181 (open 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Monday–Friday) and ask to leave a message for ALL HOUSE MEMBERS in Kentucky; or you can send an email to legislators at https://actionnetwork.org/letters/sb89-the-assault-on-kentuckys-waterways-moves-to-the-house?source=direct_link&fbclid=IwY2xjawIziUNleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHdGlR1j89ylt-Bgk8WNLW4pjsJe6NDj0zk7WYwDO2slSf6W2gCRB9IAr7Q_aem_K4cRrgoOOYjenG30gNPMJA Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://forwardradio.org

The Readman Truth To Power Hour: Bill Ayers by WNHH Community Radio

On this week's show, we bring you Lessons from the Foothills: Berea College and Its Unique Role in America, an address by author Gretchen Dykstra given to the Filson Historical Society in Old Louisville on January 28, 2025. In 1859, a mob of sixty-five prominent armed men rode into Berea, Kentucky, and forced the closure of its integrated one-room schoolhouse. Founded by Kentucky-born abolitionist John Gregg Fee, the school was open to anyone, regardless of their race or gender—a notion that horrified white supremacists. The mob evicted thirty-six community members, including Fee's family, but Fee and the others returned to Berea in 1864 and reestablished the institution, still committed to educating Appalachia's most vulnerable populations. In Lessons from the Foothills, Gretchen Dykstra profiles modern Berea College with its rich and beloved history. This book is the first to focus on contemporary Berea and its eight Great Commitments—the principles and practices that provide clear aspirations for the college and its community. Each chapter functions as a deep dive into the history, practice, and significance of one Great Commitment, from providing opportunity for the most marginalized, to the college's high academic standards and its commitment to environmental sustainability. The college has pledged to "provide an educational opportunity for students of all races, primarily from Appalachia, who have great promise and limited economic resources." To achieve this goal, the college eliminated tuition in 1892 and it also provides jobs for students to assist with living expenses. Drawn from interviews with a range of members of the Berea community, including alumni, students, faculty, and staff, Lessons from the Foothills is an engaging portrait of a unique and historic institution and its enduring commitment to nurture and support academic excellence and service. Gretchen Dykstra, author of Echoes from Wuhan: The Past as Prologue and Civic Pioneers: Local Stories from a Changing America, 1895–1915, and coauthor of Pinery Boys: Songs and Songcatching in the Lumberjack Era, has written articles for several publications, including the New York Times and California History. She lives in Haverford, Pennsylvania. This program was sponsored in honor of the Association for Teaching Black History in Kentucky, the Thomas D. Clark Foundation, in addition to UPK and Berea College.

The world is standing on the brink…the deepening  impacts of the climate crisis, rising inequality and increasing levels of economic turmoil are affecting us all. But we now face a new threat: a powerful network of autocrats,  billionaires. and demagogues and fossil fuel industry leaders has emerged. This climate crisis denying coalition is weaponising disinformation and  manipulating societal distress and uncertainty in a bid to steer us into the arms of far-right populism and away from the global systems change we need. Mayors, cities, academics, scientists, economists, activists and civil society must step up and form a global axis of resistance to challenge those who threaten our way of life…and ultimately, the very survival of our world.Season 5 of Cities 1.5 returns March 11th, with a new episode every Tuesday after that.

Vice President JD Vance was on fire at the Munich Security Conference in Germany over the weekend. He highlighted the notion that Europe has strayed away from the shared values of Democracy. His legitimate concerns around cancelling elections, digital censorship and 'misinformation' highlighted the slippery slope some European countries have engaged in within recent years. From raiding homes for memes or praying outside of abortion clinics, JD noted that free speech in Europe is in retreat. The speech was incredible from start to finish with JD boldly exclaiming "we must do more than talk about Democratic values. we must live them." CBS and other legacy media outlets slow, painful death rattle continues, this time it's Margaret Brennan who claimed the holocaust happened because free speech was weaponized. It was so egregious and thankfully Marco Rubio's rebuttal was perfect in noting her inaccurate portrayal of history. Speaking of history, Trump's rapid response team found some amazing clips of both Barack Obama and Joe Biden vowing for transparency and rooting out and removing waste, fraud and abuse from inside the government.

The Readman Truth To Power Hour Women Leadership In Higher Education by WNHH Community Radio

As we continue to discern whether the prophetic voices promoting Christian Nationalism are speaking God's heart and God's kingdom priorities, it is important to take a look at what the prophets were doing and saying in the Bible. We don't have to look very far to see that they were not political "yes-men" but regularly challenged religious and political leadership for their idolatry and neglect of the poor. What can that tell us about what we are seeing in Christian Nationalism? Let's take a look.On a separate note, if you are interested in registering for the upcoming Dunamis Essentials #4: The Healing Ministry of Jesus, you can go here. https://www.prmi.org/event/dunamis-essentials-4-the-healing-ministry-of-jesus-online-2025/If you have any issues in getting registered, contact our registrar, Al Kester, at organickester@gmail.com 

On this week's show, we bring you the keynote address from the 2025 Legislative Summit and Annual Meeting of the Kentucky Conservation Committee (KCC) that was held at Kentucky State University in Frankfort on January 26th. This year's featured guest was Alice Driver, author of “Life and Death of the American Worker.” Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award, the book is an explosive exposé of the toxic labor practices at the largest meatpacking company in America and the immigrant workers who had the courage to fight back. During the 2024 Kentucky General Assembly, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 16 (https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/24rs/sb16.html), also known as an “Ag-Gag” bill, prohibiting the operation of recording devices at commercial food manufacturing and processing facilities. This kind of legislation favored large-scale farms such as Tyson, who had been in the process of opening a new $355 million production factory in Bowling Green during the 2024 legislative session. Ms. Driver's work exposes environmental and worker practices at Tyson foods in Arkansas.

We as children of God must eat our daily bread which is the word of God, if we are to grow spiritually mature. We must feed the mind with the right knowledge if the person is going to do right as a way of life. We need the doctrines put together in the correct way so they lead in the right direction—toward God's purpose. Be careful what you meditate and study, it is what you become . He told Peter to feed His sheep, it has to be a proper diet, which we can assimilate into a way of life.

This week, we bring you the voice of Baha Hilo, Palestinian activist and educator, speaking with the Louisville Ceasefire Coalition at an event organized by the Palestine Justice Network of the Presbyterian Church USA (https://thePJN.org or https://www.facebook.com/pjnpcusa). He spoke on Thursday evening, Jan. 23rd, at the Fairness Campaign Office, on Frankfort Avenue here in Louisville. Baha has traveled to the U.S. from the West Bank to share his personal story about surviving the ongoing Zionist apartheid state in Israel-Palestine. He travels next to Columbus, Indiana for a talk at First Presbyterian on Saturday, Jan. 25th at 1:30pm. On a visit that overlapped with the beginning of the ceasefire in Gaza, MLK day, and Trump's second inauguration, we are reminded that we are making history as we live it. May we all be renewed in our commitments to work for justice, knowing that our hope is in things eternal- not just the success of our own lifetimes. We begin with a short message from Baha Hilo recorded October 25, 2023. It is entitled "Begin The Planning to Expel Apartheid."

On today's show, we listen in on a very timely community conversation hosted on January 14th, 2025 with the Oberlin Club of Washington, DC, focused on the question: "Why is the working-class leaving the Democratic Party?" The conversation featured remarks by Les Leopold, Executive Director of The Labor Institute, and a 1969 graduate of Oberlin College. You can watch the full event and see the slides at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThOll28AuYY In assessing the 2024 elections, many voters are asking: has the working-class abandoned the Democratic Party? If so, why? What does that tell us about the views of working people and what does that suggest about the Party and its future? There are two major theories to account for the extensive working-class shift to the Republicans since 1996. One argument rooted in social issues is that working-class resentment against women, immigrants, LBGTQ+ communities and other ""woke"" concerns has resulted in an embrace of right-wing candidates whose supporters Hillary Clinton once termed "a basket of deplorables". The other theory is that economic issues like job insecurity, stagnant wages and declining prospects for the future have pushed workers away from the Democrats. What does the data reveal? Les Leopold offers an assessment based on findings in his latest book "Wall Street's War on Workers: How Mass Layoffs and Greed Are Destroying the Working Class and What to Do About It." Les Leopold co-founded and currently directs The Labor Institute, a non-profit organization that designs research and educational programs on occupational safety and health, the environment and economics for unions, workers centers and community organizations. In addition to "Wall Street's War on Workers," he is the author of "Defiant German, Defiant Jew"; "Runaway Inequality"; "How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour: Why Financial Elites get away with siphoning off America's Wealth"; "The Looting of America: How Wall Street's Game of Fantasy Finance destroyed our Jobs, Pensions and Prosperity, and What We Can Do About It"; and "The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor: The Life and Times of Tony Mazzocchi."

Nate Monroe writes a column about Florida for USA Today, exploring how power works in the gilded, strange heart of the modern Republican Party. His irony and rapier wit have made him a reader favorite but have also ruffled some significant feathers. Previously an investigative reporter for Jacksonville's Florida Times-Union, Nate focused on covering Jacksonville City Hall, the largest municipal government in Florida. His most notable deep-dive exposed a massive, nefarious scheme to sell Jacksonville's city-owned power company to Florida Power & Light ... and led to an indictment and jail time for the local CEO, an enormous win for justice and transparency. For this excellent work, he was surveilled and threatened. “It was obviously surreal," says Nate, "to open a batch of records that I had some sense was about the controversy and to actually discover that there was stuff about me in there” - his full Social Security number, driver's license and a list of friends dating back to childhood — information not readily available as a public record.  His lived experience as a target of attack on the media and honest reporting is emblematic of the challenges facing democracy today. Still, Nate loves his job, is built for it. An old school journalist who came up through the ranks, Nate remains undaunted about speaking truth to power. Prior to arriving in Jacksonville in 2013, he was a small town beat reporter for newspapers in the Deep South, where he wrote about hurricanes, small-town corruption, oil spills, Army Corps screw-ups, Mardi Gras, and bingo nights at the senior citizens center. Nate's work is absolutely critical to keeping our democracy healthy and alive. Have a Swan Dive to share?

On this week's program, we listen back to an important event held at Louisville's Main Public Library on October 15th, 2024. Today, education is poised to become a private commodity rather than a universal good, and the very existence of the traditional public school is threatened, according to Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Cara Fitzpatrick. Join her for this compelling discussion on the future of public schooling. Cara Fitzpatrick is a Story Editor for Chalkbeat National and New York. She covered education at newspapers in Florida and won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in 2016 for a series about school segregation. The series also was honored with a Polk award and the Worth Bingham for Investigative Journalism, among others. She was a New America fellow in 2019 and a Spencer fellow at Columbia University in 2018. She is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. She wrote the 2003 book about the history of school choice in America called "The Death of Public School: How Conservatives Won the War Over Education in America".

This week's show is all about birds and our role in protecting them! Listen in as we sit down to discuss the Lights Out Louisville campaign (http://www.lightsoutlouisville.org/) with four members of the Louisville Audubon Society Board: President Brandon McQueen, and three members of the Conservation Committee: Retired UofL Biology professor, Margaret Carreiro, Mary Beth Nevulis & Mary Yandell. The Louisville Audubon Society (https://www.louisvilleaudubon.org/) reminds you that peak Fall Bird Migration occurs from August to October. Please consider participating in LIGHTS OUT LOUISVILLE to make your home, neighborhood, and our city more bird-friendly; and join us for the Louisville Audubon Society's launch event of Lights Out Louisville at the Main Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024. (The event is free, but space is limited; so register at https://www.lfpl.org/events/23463) WHAT IT IS: Lights Out Louisville is a Louisville Audubon conservation program intended to minimize light pollution in our city to protect migrating birds during key months and times every spring and fall. WHY IT MATTERS: Millions—even billions—of birds are killed each year in the U.S. due to collisions with artificially lit buildings as they migrate over cities, including Louisville. By minimizing light pollution from residential and commercial structures, our city joins the growing international effort to reduce these numbers. WHY YOU SHOULD CARE: Creating bird-friendly communities by going Lights Out benefits us all, from commercial real estate owners/operators to local businesses and residents. Benefits include energy cost savings, contributions to Louisville's sustainability and conservation goals, and more. AT THE EVENT: Attendees will learn more about this initiative, view a short documentary about a Lights Out success story, and have the opportunity to ask a panel of Kentucky-based experts questions on light pollution and energy efficiency. → CAN'T MAKE THE EVENT? YOU CAN STILL SHOW SUPPORT! • Your organization can join this local conservation effort—it's as easy as flipping a switch. • Pledge to go Lights Out from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., every night in April and May, and in September and October. Individuals and Homeowners pledge at https://www.lightsoutlouisville.org/residents-homeowners-pledge-to-go-lights-out/ Businesses and Organizations pledge at https://www.lightsoutlouisville.org/buildings_commercial-pledge-to-go-lights-out/ • Contact the Louisville Audubon Society (louisvilleaudubon@gmail.com) for more information or to discuss future partnerships and events.

Learn more at http://bluegrassvegfest.com Today we bring you highlights from the first hour of our live broadcast from the 2024 Bluegrass VegFest, including a tour of the amazing variety of vegan food trucks, conversations with fellow Forward Radio volunteers who were staffing our booth, and the first keynote speaker of the day, Stuart Waldner, author of Escape The Meatrix: Eat Plants, Feel Great, and Save the Planet! Stuart is a Kentucky native who didn't set out to be an activist. Growing up, he embraced the standard American diet until 1985, when he made a transformative shift to a 100% plant-based lifestyle. For years, Stuart quietly pursued his path while respecting others' choices. However, as he delved deeper into the statistical correlations between our dietary habits and global crises, he felt compelled to awaken people to the urgent need for change—for our health and the planet's well-being. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Matrix movie, Stuart invites everyone to choose the "red pill" and uncover the truth about our world. Since the release of his groundbreaking book in October 2022, he has been a sought-after guest on numerous podcasts and a featured speaker at prominent conferences and festivals.

On this week's program, we bring you highlights from a great event that took place at the Main Public Library on May 21st called "Walkable Louisville: a conversation with urban planner and author Jeff Speck." The University of Louisville's Urban Design Studio Sustainable City Series presented renowned urban planner and author Jeff Speck as he shared his insights on reimagining downtown Louisville through the lens of walkability and why fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment is imperative for a flourishing city. Jeff Speck is a city planner and author who advocates internationally for more walkable cities. As Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts from 2003 through 2007, he presided over the Mayors' Institute on City Design and created the Governors' Institute on Community Design. Prior to his federal appointment, Mr. Speck spent ten years as Director of Town Planning at DPZ & Co., the principal firm behind the New Urbanism movement. Since 2007, he has led Speck & Associates — now Speck Dempsey —an award-winning urban planning firm serving public and private clients around the world. With Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Mr. Speck is the co-author of Suburban Nation, which the Wall Street Journal calls "the urbanist's bible.” His 2012 book Walkable City was the best selling city planning title of the past decade and has been translated into eight languages. He is also the principal author of The Smart Growth Manual and Walkable City Rules. Jeff Speck has been named a fellow of both the American Institute of Certified Planners and the Congress for New Urbanism. In a recent Planetizen poll, he was voted one of the ten “most influential urbanists of all time.” Mr. Speck was the 2022 recipient of the Seaside Prize, whose former awardees include Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander. His TED talks and YouTube videos have been viewed more than six million times.

Stigall hopes you're not eating listening to this one today. The theme of today's show largely centers around entertainers and comedians who used to be the standard bearers for telling truths, or at a bare minimum challenging those in authority. Never kissing up to powerful interests. That's all changed, and the man once considered the most edgy personality in all of broadcasting just handed over his show Friday in what has to be the most sickening display of sycophantic behavior ever recorded. Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher - in a total coincidence - lay into this same theme over the weekend in unrelated clips. Plus, Batya Ungar-Sargon - opinion editor at Newsweek and Democrat - doesn't hold back on her party bailing on her core values as a voter in her new book "Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women."-For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
