In the first hour of this episode, we were joined by our friend and fellow We Act Radio host, Richard Fowler. He gave us his analysis of the fiscal cliff deal and how the administration is handling the media reaction to it. You can catch The Richard Fowler Show live, every Friday from 8 to 10pm ET, on We Act Radio and various other stations around the nation. For the second hour, we got into the despicable delay by Congress in passing some much-needed emergency relief for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. We also highlighted a newly-elected representative that believe emergency aid should be handled in the private sector. We also spoke about New York's The Journal News publishing an interactive website listing gun owners names and addresses. Not only did right-wing media lose their mind over the publication, but the hypocrisy over stating the law protecting gun owner's information hasn't "kept up with technology" is simply laughable. During the last hour, we heard from Tina Dupuy, editor-in-chief of The Contributor - the only online blogging site that actually pays you for your publications. She shared her wisdom on the possible reinstatement of the Assault Weapons Ban and why it would be inadequate in reducing gun-related fatalities.
