Special PNN EXTRA with Kartik Krishnaiyer discussing the January 6 failed insurrection and how the Republican Party of Florida promoted the failed insurrection.

This week on EJR, I  am going back to the Flint water crisis of 2016. Now, five years later, when people mention Flint--they think lead poisoning through contaminated water. Some minor players were finally prosecuted, but the true power leading the charge, was never brought to justice. Tonight, I will discuss those power players--including the secretive but powerful Mackinac Center. 

Get ready to be further enraged. The scope of this crime includes environmental racism--and political racism as well. The very essence of local democracy was nullified in Michigan with the Emergency Manager Law. To date, that unconstitutional law remains and has spread to other states like a cancer.

• Brook Hines on #ForceTheVote.

• Kartik Krishnaiyer joins to help us understand the election of the Speaker of the House. What does a Speaker do? How'd Pelosi become Speaker in the first place? How we're in a RADICAL DEPARTURE from 70+ years of Democrat's economic policy.

•BEAN DAD! "Anonymous Caller" joins to share his thoughts on how Bean Dad self-owned himself by trying doing his best PJ O'Rourke impression (in a 30+ tweet thread on Twitter). He's apparently deleted his account -- it was that bad.    

• Jeanine Molloff re-ups her #NotDyingForWallStreet series with a searing indictment of US Covid policy and the estimate that it will take 10 years to vaccinate enough Americans for herd immunity.

This New Year's Eve, I will be addressing the growing business of water privatization and how corporate stock investors have turned water into a commodity ONLY available if you have enough money. I will be featuring Nestle as one of the major environmental villains in this piece. Prepare yourselves to be OUTRAGED. The corporate world aka corporations receiving legal 'personhood', have once again proven to be--AMORAL SOCIOPATHS. Those in the public who remain silent are only enabling this growing injustice. Come listen to our show.

Note: I do not take calls during the show--and especially from the Trumper peanut gallery.

Brook Hines on this FUNKY week.

It's now Christmas Eve, 2020. In the year of COVID and all the challenges it presents, you would think that those possessing more material blessings would realize their moral responsibility to others. That has not been the case. Instead we face an even crueler, privileged class, far more entrenched in their own selfish needs. So, on this Christmas Eve, I'm asking--regarding environmental justice--What Would Jesus Do? 

This episode will explore the moral obligation that Jesus set forth to be good stewards of this planet. Additionally, I will explore the immorality of environmental racism. 

Come join us for a talk that delves further into the notion of morality, far beyond our own families.
