Nicole was so impressed by Bernie Sanders' campaign kick off rally in Burlington VT yesterday (and pissed that MSNBC cut it off when Al Sharpton came on), that she begins today's show with Bernie's entire speech! TPM's Daniel Strauss tells about the issue that may trip up the GOP 2016 contenders. And CAF's Dave Johnson gives us an update on the fight against Fast Track & the TPP
That's who's on the show today! The Democrat is Congressman Alan Grayson, who'll give us the latest on the fight against Fast Track & the TPP; the Republican is former Congressman John LeBoutillier (who's the most sensible Republican I've heard in a long time!). And the rock star is Ryan Adams for our Flashback Friday segment today, in the 2001 World Premiere Broadcast of his band Whiskeytown's final album, "Pneumonia". You'll have to visit radioornot.com to hear the Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown segment - sorry!
