Another week in the United States of Serfs and Lords.

Trump lies to the American people - yet again - saying attacks at 4 embassies were "imminent."

We know he's full of it... the world knows he's full of it. How much longer will we allow it to continue?

We'll discuss another week of madness.

In between shows? Leave Tara a message at 360-777-6007 and she may play it on the air!

As the US throws lit matches into the powder keg that is the Middle East, I’ll talk with legendary interfaith leader and retired Episcopal Bishop of Washington DC, the Rt. Rev. John Bryson Chane.

Also, this Thursday is Religious Freedom Day. Fred Clarkson will brief us on the work being done to reclaim the term from the political religious right for all Americans.

And an update on the ongoing work of the group Young Evangelicals for Climate Action from National Organizer and Spokesperson Kyle Meyaard-Schaap.

On the #RADIO show this week we cover the latest with the impeachment and what’s happening with the White House; how we’re winning on paid family medical leave; the places you can MARCH on January 18th with the Women’s March; and we hear about how data makes change with IWPR.

*Special guests include: Reggie Hubbard, MoveOn, @MoveOn; Maggie Humphreys, MomsRising, @MomsRising; Rachel O'Leary Carmona, Women’s March, @womensmarch; C. Nicole Mason, IWPR, @IWPResearch

Consequences...we seem to ignore, avoid or pretty much not care these days, but at what cost?

I talk with HEDRICK SMITH, Pulitzer-winning former New York Times reporter and Emmy-winning producer/correspondent, about THE DEMOCRACY REBELLION, his PBS documentary on grassroots movements that are winning political reform victories, state by state. Six states, six successful campaigns take on Citizens United, gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc.
