BEFORE NATIONAL GUARD After Police; What Have We Done? Pain Kills Karel Cast 24-52

Before we send national guard but after police: Biden says protests are fine, but not chaos and destruction; he doesn't think, however, the national guard should get involved. Where is this heading and why is it happening?

"What Have We Done" said Keith Davidson, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels who helped pay $130k to Daniel's for her story as part of a catch and kill plan to sway the election. And it worked. What does his testimony do for Trump?

Gas is skyrocketing nationally while you all sit in traffic and debate better rail and public transportation. Are Americans just too controlled and stupid to survive?

Pain Kills. And it killed someone I love Tuesday.

BEFORE NATIONAL GUARD After Police; What Have We Done? Pain Kills Karel Cast 24-52

This time on Code WACK! 

How is private equity affecting our healthcare system? What’s being done about it? How does our fragmented healthcare system affect patients, including people who have cancer? And what cues can healthcare reform activists take from California's immigrant community?

To find out, we spoke to Peter Shapiro, a retired letter carrier and author of Song of the Stubborn One Thousand: the Watsonville Canning Strike (Haymarket Books 2016). He represented his union at the founding conference of the Labor Campaign for Single Payer in 2009 and has been involved with the issue ever since. He currently represents the Alameda Labor Council on the board of Healthy California Now, a single-payer advocacy coalition. This is the first episode in a two-part series with Peter Shapiro.

SILENCE THE STUDENTS? Noem Doubles Down; Seinfeld Rants Karel Cast 24-52

Campuses across the country are deciding to clamp down on the Pro-Palestinian encampments that have sprung up , but should they? Isn't this the same as being opposed to the Vietnam War? Students were right then to protest, are they right now? And even if they're not right, should they still be allowed to do it? Don't we want engaged young people?

Kristi Noem doubles down on dog shooting and it just explains so much about MAGA.

Seinfeld blames the extreme left for his inability to be funny. But is it their fault, or have comics just refused to evolve in the new times, finding it easier to demean others for laughs instead of genuinely being funny. You know, Lucy never had to worry, did she? And she was funny.
