First, a highlight from this week’s Ralph Nader Radio Hour where Ralph discusses smart meters in our homes. Then Pacifica Radio’s John Matthews on a poll about American’s tolerance of gay marriage. Michael Snyder on what movies to catch this week, and the ‘King of TV’ Paul Goebel on what’s good to watch on television.
This week, we discuss whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is really worth 44 million a year, how political consultants are ruining the Democratic Party, whether driverless cars are a good thing, and how our quest for empire is compromising the homeland.
Pacifica Radio’s John Matthews talks with David about America’s Drug War. Judy Gold and Henriette Mantel on the passing of comedy legend Joan Rivers. Steve Skrovan, the co-host of The Ralph Nader Radio Hour talks his mutal admiration for Mr. Nader. Film critic Michael Snyder reviews some new movies, and Paul Goebels tells us what to watch and not to watch on television.
This week we talk to a citizen activist from Minnesota about Medicaid fraud and Ralph gets on the case. We also discuss what new technology is doing to our children, the warning Larry Summers gave Elizabeth Warren, and why runway models don’t smile.
We discuss what came first, the corporation or the state; what they do in Brazil we never do here (hint: it has nothing to do with shaving); what you can do to help raise the minimum wage; and Ralph tells us how he once was the guest of honor at a Corvair convention and lived to tell the tale.
