Talking Left Episode 2013-33




Talking Left w/ Danielle & Shane-O show

Summary: Here's a whole lot of news you probably didn't hear about this week! This week on Talking Left, we tried to bring you stories that you didn't - and probably won't - hear anywhere else. We spent time talking about the Trans Pacific Partnership, Fukushima, fracking, and the NSA.  And, we had the help of two great guests to tell you about even more. First, we spoke with Justin Duckham, the Congressional Reporter for Talk Radio News Service, about this week's congressional hearings in the new Obamacare website.  As you might expect, the hearings were about nothing more than political grandstanding, but that doesn't mean there aren't any problems with the healthcare roll out.  The President says that people should be able to use the new site and sign up by the end of next month, but we're sure that Republicans will do everything in their power to make the process more difficult. We also had a chance to speak with Ari Rabin-Havt of Media Matters for America.  Ari is the co-author of a great new e-book called "The Benghazi Hoax" - as well as the host of "The Agenda" on Sirius Radio.  Air, and his co-author David Brock, documented how the Right politicized a tragic event, and showed that they aren't the least bit interested in actually preventing another one.  The book is only 99 cents, so be sure to download it, read it, and share it with all your right-wing conspiracy-loving friends and relatives!
