Talking Left Episode 2013-18




Talking Left w/ Danielle & Shane-O show

Summary: Tax dodgers, Targeted Killing, and Taking on the Big Banks! On this episode of Talking Left, we tried to get into all the major news stories of the week, and we spoke with three amazing guests. First, our lovely friend Nicole Belle of Crooks and Liars joined us to talk about President Obama's counter-terrorism speech this week.  We spoke about his apparent defense of the on-going use of drone strikes, his calls to finally close Gitmo, and the importance of repealing the Authorization for Use of Military Force.  Who knows if we'll see any real changes after this speech, but we must keep fighting to wind down this perpetual war. After that, we spoke with Josh Silver, of Represent Us.  His group is fighting to enact The American Anti-Corruption Act, which would replace limitations on corporate money in politics, and return power back to the American people.  Please add your name to the petition on their website, and share it with all your friends. During the last hour, we played an interview with Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown.  We spoke with Sen. Brown about his "Terminating Bailouts For Taxpayers" bill, and how important it is to end the practice of "Too-big-to-fail."  Please support Sen. Brown's bill by signing up at his website, SherrodBrown.com, and call your Senators and tell them to support the bill too!
