The Progressive Commentary Hour - 05.09.23

Randy Credico is a political and social justice activist and broadcaster. Formerly in the 1970s and 80s he was a comic and political satirist on the comedy circuit, once appearing on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. In the mid-1980s, having befriended the famous constitutional Attorney William Kunstler, perhaps best known for representing the Chicago Seven and the American Indian Movement in the aftermath of the Wounded Knee incident, Randy became active in anti-imperialist and anti-war issues. He was the director of the William Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice, and later has also run for the Senate against Chuck Schumer, for Mayor of New York and against Andrew Cuomo for the governorship. For years he has supported the release of Julian Assange. Randy recently returned from a trip to Moscow, Russia and the Donbas region in the liberated part of Ukraine, which we will discuss together.  He hosts the show "Live on the Fly", which can be heard every Monday at 10 am on the Progressive Radio Network, and on WBAI every Wednesday at 2:30 pm.
