On this week’s show:

Mickey welcomes Peter Kuznick, Professor of History at American University and best-selling author with Oliver Stone of The Untold History of the United States. They discuss the ongoing Russian attacks in Ukraine along with U.S./NATO reactions, as well as U.S. support for Israel’s ongoing assaults on Gaza and how close we may be coming to WWIII, if we don’t reinvigorate diplomacy and actively promote peace.

Then, Mickey welcomes back Director of Advocacy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation, Seth Stern, to discuss some good news around bipartisan support for the PRESS Act, a much needed shield law for journalists in a time when press freedoms are on the decline in the U.S. and across the globe.
