Rick opens the show with commentary on what’s really driving the rage machine and the role that the courts have in dividing the nation into haves and have-nots. Then Rich Ojeda of No Dem Left Behind joins us to discuss the end of the war in Afghanistan, and some of the fearmongering for profit surrounding the withdrawal. We close the first hour with Texas’s own Rania Batrice, President of Batrice & Associates for a discussion about the draconian new laws in her home state, and what they mean for the future of women’s health care.
