Talking Left w/ Danielle & Shane-O show

Summary: Talking Left did not see it's shadow this week - but we did have some really great guests! {play}archive/TalkingLeft2-3-13.mp3{/play}  Right click on this line, "save file as" to download the MP3 to your computer.    First up, we spoke with Juan Escalante - the Communications and Media Relations director for DreamACTivist.org.  Juan helped us understand what the recent immigration "compromise" means to undocumented immigrants and how we can get involved to support The Dreamers.  Please be sure to support Dream Activist and follow all their news on Twitter. And, it wouldn't be Super Bowl Sunday without speaking with Talking Left's favorite sports analyst - Mitch Malasky of The DC Sports Beat on We Act Radio.  Mitch gave us an in-depth analysis of players, and teams, in today's big game and even shared his hopes, and predictions, for how it may turn out. After that, we were joined by our friend and teacher, David Bender, political director of Progressive Voices and host of Top of the Hour on the Progressive Voices Channel on Tune in.  David explained why filibuster reform - or lack there of - may not be as clear cut as some people imagine, and why we all need to give Harry Reid a break.   Last, but certainly not least, we heard from David Pakman, host of the internationally-syndicated David Pakman Show.  David gave an amazing perspective on the recent hearing on gun control, and why the NRA shouldn't be included in the debate.
