More Care Not Less!!
July 12, 2011Starting this year an American will turn 65 every eight seconds. (Thank the boomers.) While Barack Obama is calling on Democrats to accept "trimming benefits" for the future's sake, seven hundred people are gathering in Washington at the Hilton today with a very different approach.Protests for Peace in Palestine
March 10, 2010Amer Shurrab, a Middlebury College graduate from Khan Yunis in Gaza, whose father and two brothers were killed in Operation Cast Lead, and Dorothy Zellner, founding member of Jews Say No!, join us to talk about the protests, Joe Biden's condemnation of Israeli settlement building, and more.LIVE AT NOON: David Kirby: Animal Factory
March 3, 2010Swine flu, bird flu, cancer, parasites, E. Coli...what do they all have in common? Factory farms, says investigative reporter David Kirby. In his new book, Animal Factory, he exposes the deep problems with the factory farming system and how it hurts people and the environment. He joins Laura in studio at noon to talk about the book and what we can do to fix our food supply.LIVE AT NOON: Daniel Ellsberg: Can The People Take Back Power?
February 24, 2010The Bush administration thrived on secrecy; Obama promised more transparency, but has yet to really deliver. What's more, when information does come out, it seems that accountability is nearly impossible to get: the torture memos were released, but there will be no trials. We ask Daniel Ellsberg, one of the world's most famous whistleblowers, and blogger Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com if there's anything the people can do to take the power back.LIVE AT NOON: The Iranian Movement & Obama's New Strategy
February 10, 2010Not long ago on GRITtv, Hamid Dabashi told us that the Iranian protests are turning into a civil rights movement with long-term potential for change. We'll talk to Hooman Majd, Hadi Ghaemi, and Kelly Golnoush Niknejad at noon about the protests, the regime, and what happens next.LIVE AT NOON: Whose News Is It, Anyway?
February 3, 2010Discussions on the future of journalism are happening so often now that they're almost trite. But Robert McChesney, John Nichols, Tracy Van Slyke and Kate Giammarise are not only interested in saving journalism; they're interested in having all of us have a say. They'll join us at noon to discuss.LIVE AT NOON: What Happened to the Grassroots Obama Movement?
January 6, 2010The Obama campaign was a massive grassroots mobilization, but a year later, has the organization that grew out of it failed to keep up the momentum? Micah Sifry of Personal Democracy Forum says yes and furthermore that the campaign was never as grassroots as billed; Karoli of the blog Odd Time Signatures says no, Organizing for America is keeping up the good work. We'll also be speaking to Geoff Berman, New York Deputy Field Director for OFA.LIVE AT 12:30: Year In Review/Decade In Review
December 23, 2009The year is almost over, and it's certainly been an eventful one. We've seen a new president, some huge bank bailouts, a dramatic election season and we're closer than we've ever been to national health care reform--whether that's a good thing or not.LIVE AT NOON: Is Capitalism Worth Saving?
December 16, 2009With the economic collapse last year, many mainstream voices suddenly started to talk about alternatives to capitalism. The economy seems to be stabilizing a bit, but as we've discussed many times, people are still suffering and jobless. Yet Citigroup is getting more tax breaks, and Ben Bernanke is Time's Man of the Year.
