Our Conversation MUST Continue
Your Invitation For Tonight's Office Hours
Please join me for Office Hours tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern. I host the first ninety minutes, and then turn the evening over to our community.
On Monday’s show my special guest was Apollo 13 Astronaut Fred Haise.
Astronaut Fred Haise's new book, "Never Panic Early” tells Fred’s harrowing story of being stranded 200,000 miles from Earth after his mission to the moon got scrubbed by an exploding oxygen tank. On our show, for the first time in 52 years, Fred relives his slingshot around the dark side of the moon as he watches newly compiled lunar satellite video that recreates the precise view from his crippled spacecraft.
"Don’t Panic Early" is a master’s class on keeping your wits about you while all others are losing theirs.
Fred wrote the book with Bill Moore who also joins us.
"Don't Panic Early" can be purchased here
My interview with Fred Haise
On Thursday’s show we welcomed Scott Dikkers the founder of The Onion. He is recipient of the Thurber Prize for American Humor, a Peabody, and too many Webby Awards to count.
Thursday’s Show
Professor Sheryl Cashin author of “White Space, Black Hood: Opportunity Hoarding and Segregation in the Age of Inequality” also joined us along with our gang of regulars.
Please consider for tonight’s Office Hours..
According to the Gun Violence Archives there have been 251 mass shootings THIS YEAR.
The number one cause of death for children is no longer car accidents—it’s guns.
61 million AMERICAN children live at or below the poverty line.
Eighteen million military veterans risk suicide, homelessness, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, and unemployment.
110 million Americans are exposed to what are called toxic forever chemicals in their drinking water.
The UN World Meteorological Organization just issued their annual State of the Climate Report warning our planet will be uninhabitable sooner than anyone expected.
But what does Nancy Pelosi focus on in Prime Time?
Herself. Her physical safety.
Not assault weapons killing school children.
I’m sorry for the Capitol Police
I’ve dealt with the Capitol Police, I really like and respect them.
Not sure I can say the same about the people they protect.
Nancy, we’re glad you’re OK.
But honestly? You want protection? You need to give protection.
I have friends dead from cancer because health insurance companies you’re supposed to protect us from, instead of invest in, wouldn’t approve the treatment.
I have friends without a place to live because you literally FORGOT the eviction moratorium was about to lapse. Instead of passing legislation to protect tenants, you protected your family of landlords.
Instead of supporting Jessica Cisneros who would protect a woman’s right to an abortion, you threw your support behind Congressman Henry Cuellar, the only Anti Abortion Democrat in the House.
Our nation’s capitol was looted long before January 6
Thirty percent of our country’s economy is government spending, and the House of Representatives controls the purse springs. Nancy Pelosi controls the House. She knows what next year’s tax code is going to look like and which corporations will benefit. She knows which corporations are going to be getting multi billion dollar government contracts and which ones won’t.
How do you think Nancy and her idiot husband Paul got to be worth 200 million dollars? Because they’re smart?
It is illegal to trade on this kind of inside information. Paul Pelosi should be in prison.
Nancy please go away
Thanks for Obamacare Nancy. It was almost good. Especially if, like the Pelosi family, you owned stock in health insurance companies.
You’re corrupt. You, your husband, idiot son and daughters are dirty
If you all won’t go to prison, at least just go away.
But we are told this wasn’t just an attack against our lawmakers, it was an attack against our Democracy
People on the streets, unable to afford health care, 140 million Americans living at or below the poverty line are a threat to our Democracy.
An AR-15 reducing nineteen school children into a spray of mist while the American people demand an assault weapons ban, but congress too terrified of the NRA to do anything is the real threat to our democracy.
A Justice Department too chickenshit to prosecute corporate criminals is the real threat to our democracy.
Most importantly, both political parties beholden to the same Wall Street donors is the real threat to our democracy.
Do we really need to see any more evidence about January 6?
We get it. The GOP is made up fascists.
Fascists steal elections and rely on extrajudicial thugs to intimidate government officials. They break things and kill people.
That’s who Trump is. SO ARREST HIM ALREADY.
Arrest all the Republican congressmen who assisted the insurrectionists
Representative Scott Perry, Republican of Pennsylvania and Representative Andy Biggs, Republican of Arizona along with several other Republican members of congress all conspired to overturn the election and then, after January 6th, asked Donald Trump for a presidential pardon before he left office.
They knew they were criminals. That’s why they asked for pardons.
So ARREST THEM!!!
Who knows?
Maybe last night’s season finale of MASH will end up bringing 350 million Americans together. Maybe last night’s Super Bowl Half Time show made everyone shed a tear for our democracy and come to the collective realization that the Republicans are a mortal threat to our planet. Which they are.
But you know what would be better than last night’s show trial? An ACTUAL trial
I understand the wheels of justice move slowly. But Attorney General Merrick Garland grabbed the tires on those wheels of justice and sucked all the air out.
Yesterday, as if to prove he’s serious about getting to the bottom of January 6, Garland arrested a minor league Republican flunky running for governor of Michigan. Ryan Kelley now faces misdemeanor charges related to his involvement in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Misdemeanor charges.
The day of the big hearings and the only courage our Attorney General can muster is locking up some low level Republican stooge from Michigan. Garland should bring a rod and reel to Flint because I hear the fish are even smaller there due to the lead.
If Republicans are an existential threat to our democracy
Biden needs to empty out those for profit ICE detention camps and start filling them with the seditionists who tried to steal the 2020 election. Because next time they just might get away with it.
But if Biden, Schumer and Pelosi won’t demand the arrest of these Republican criminals NOW, they need to stop with these show trials whose only purpose is scaring us into voting for the Democrats.
I hope to see you tonight at Office Hours!
Stay Strong, Protect The Weak.
Best Wishes,
