On today’s Talkies, we move from the roots of economic anger to the legal and moral crises shaping the present moment.

We begin with John Nichols, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, discussing media, democracy, and his latest book co-written with Bernie Sanders, It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism.

Then, LawDork publisher Chris Geidner joins us to break down the legal landscape, the courts, and what current rulings mean for democracy and accountability.

After the news, we turn to Gaza with Stephen Zunes, a leading scholar of U.S. Middle East policy and nonviolent movements, for context, history, and analysis of the ongoing crisis.

We close with Town Crier Raymond Nat Turner, bringing it home with commentary and reflection.
