Summary: Elections, Climate, & The Audacity of the Rich! This week on Talking Left, we tried to cover all the big stories you won't hear in the corporate media - and we had some great guests to help us! In hour one, we spoke with James Cullum, Capital Hill Reporter for the Talk Radio News Service. James attended the North Carolina Senate debate and gave us his take on Pizza Guy, Sean Haugh, and the two major candidates. Hopefully, the Libertarian in this race will make it easier for Kay Hagan to hang on to her seat, an for Democrats to hold on to the Senate. Regardless of our complaints about the party, we all have to admit that things won't get better if Republicans get control of the upper chamber. We'll watch this race - and all the others around the country - closely, and we'll keep hoping that we can save the Senate! Next, we played our interview with Desi Doyen of the Green News Report from filling in for Thom Hartmann on Friday. Desi explained how much more climate coverage we're seeing in this year's election, and how environmental justice is becoming a movement. Desi & Brad Friedman always cover many important climate stories in The Green News Report, so be sure to check it out for all the stories we didn't get to. In hour three, we played another interview from Friday - this one with Andrew Crocker, Legal Fellow for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Andrew explained one of the most recent legal fights over government surveillance, and why we have to keep up the fight to protect our privacy. Don't forget to support the EFF, and share news of all of their amazing work with yor friends! Thanks to Rocky Mountain Mike for writing and producing our incredible theme music!
