  • Democratic platform

    Democrats are terrible at naming things.

    We definitely don’t want to use any name. The Republicans have used such as. Contract on America.

    We need to ask Ben from Ben & Jerry’s to help come up with a name

    Where we stand, free the people platform?

    The Dems should hire a top advertising agency engaged in branding and fire, all of the political consultants

    As usual, an excellent interview.

    Is there a difference between Putin’s war on Ukraine and the Israeli US war on Iran?

  • Always Great but..

    Love your show. Ralph you’re a hero. But Russel Mokiber has gotten the Stephen Colbert Story incorrect. The problem REALLY is is that they know that due to FCC regulations, they would have to allow equal time to the type of evening show Colber has. It wasn’t CBS killing the interview, actually by pretending to cancel it they drew more eyes to it. The Streisand Effect. Was a clever move by the producers of the show.

    Jimmy Dore on YouTube does a segment about it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

KELP!
Q: What makes kelp such a critical part of ocean ecosystems and global biodiversity?
Kelp forests are like the 'nurseries' and habitat foundations for many species, supporting salmon, cod, and herring, providing erosion protection, oxygen production, and a backbone for a large aquaculture sector; their health is tied to global climate regulation and coastal livelihoods.
A Progressive Compact for America
Q: How can voters influence candidates to adopt the contract?
By pressuring candidates not to take corporate money, publicly presenting bills as concrete commitments, and engaging local unions and citizen groups to build momentum and accountability.
A Progressive Compact for America
Q: What is the Contract for the American People supposed to achieve?
It's meant to be a simple, actionable set of ten commitments that candidates pledge to sign and implement, creating a clear, measurable agenda that voters can hold politicians to after elections.
Unions Hiding/A Solution to Gerrymandering
Q: Lee, what is the practical way proportional representation would work in a large state like California?
California could be split into multi-member districts (roughly seven to eight members per district) with statewide party lists; seats would be allocated proportionally to party share, meaning every vote would influence the final composition and minor parties could gain representation.
Impeachment for All
Q: How many of the Grounds for impeachment are unique to Trump, and why does this matter for political strategy?
Panelists suggest most grounds are unique to Trump, including threats against Congress and war actions, which strengthens the case for impeachment and differentiates him from past presidents.
