Regardless of whether or not you like Bernie Sanders (which of

course you do) you should be concerned about voter

disenfranchisement. In this episode, Katie and Kathleen talk to

Johnathan Clarke, the lawyer who filed a lawsuit against the Board

of Election for the way they switched voter's registration for the

New York Primary (http://bit.ly/20VcJCc).

This episode is not about open vs. closed primaries, which is a

legislative decision. This episode is about a different type of

disenfranchisement: one that can be challenged in the courts.

 

Babes for Bernie Kathleen and Katie are joined by voting rights activist Yvonne Gougelet to discuss what exactly happened at the New York Primary. Why were so many voters purged, especially in Brooklyn? Why did polls in upstate New York open at noon? How many voters filled out affidavits? They are also joined a poll worker who witnessed it all first hand.

We talk to Jonathan Clarke, an attorney who filed the law suit against New York Board of Elections over voter purges about what the hell happened, what he hopes to achieve and if it could effect the presidential race. We ask Hillary Clinton to apologize for the remarks of one of her surrogate (we think this may be a recurring segment, unfortunately)and talk about why Jonathan may be the Irish-American Bernie Sanders (my words, not his.) Gabe offers a list of women role models. And finally, Oscar-nominated director Josh Fox (Gasland)talks to us live from outside of the IFC movie theater where his latest film “How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change."

On this episode we talk to writer, professor, and thinker Freddie DeBoer about identity politics, political organizing and which Gummy Bear character Ted Cruz resembles. Then we talk to Leslie Lee, the Black writer and fan of Japanese wrestling, who created the #BernieMadeMeWhite hashtag and Jacob Bridge, a veteran and a conscientious objector, about what makes a Bernie Bro a Bernie Bro.

In this amazing episode we go over the tone of the Clinton's, and how they described Jesse Jackson and played with the truth in 2008. We play a mashup of Clinton's campaign in 2008 and today and wonder why she was so open to debating in 2008 but not in 2015. Then we talk to Bob Scheer, who interviewed Bill Clinton for the LA Times when bubba was governor of Arkansas and interviewed Jimmy Carter for Playboy! Bob tells us about why he thinks Hillary Clinton has no shame, the difference between Trump and Sanders and Goldwater and McGovern.

Erika Andiola, dreamer, organizer and the national press secretary for Bernie Sanders who saved her mother from being deported talks to us about the campaign, the election, what got her into politics and the one thing that made her get behind Bernie Sanders.

on this episode feminists debate Clinton and Sanders, we say goodbye to Marco Rubio the way his brother had to say goodbye to his own two front teeth, we talk about how the debate that changed immigration policy, and Premilla Nadasen discusses her new book Household Workers Unite!

On today's episode we talk to the Gordon Quinn and Rachel Dickson, the filmmakers who discovered the footage of Bernie Sanders arrest! We also talk to blogger Adriana Maestas and climatologist Brad Johnson.

Rapper and Bernie Sanders endorser Killer Mike made a terrible mistake on Tuesday night when he quoted “a woman” who used the word “uterus,” during a speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Twitter and several media outlets blasted Michael Render, AKA Killer Mike, for sexism. Interestingly, most of them didn’t bother to explain what he was really saying or who the woman he had cited was: feminist, anti-racist educator and activist Jane Elliott.
