A busy Thursday show during which no apologies will be offered or accepted, but lots of opinions aired! Today's guests include Harvey J. Kaye on the 80th anniversary of Social Security and what the future holds for it and us; Dave Johnson on China's currency manipulation & what it has to do with the TPP; and Driftglass returns to discuss what happens when our two main media narratives collide.
Nicole Sandler is joined by Julianna Forlano to recap last night's first two GOP debates and, more importantly, the final episode of The Daily Show as hosted by Jon Stewart. For Flashback Friday, Nicole goes back 20 years to 8-9-95. She was on the air at KSCA in Los Angeles when the news broke that Jerry Garcia had died. Today, she shares the aircheck from that morning.

This was a surreal week. It was the week in which Glenn Beck admitted that we were right! This was the week that saw Fox's Shepard Smith speak the truth about Iraq instead of simply repeating the neocons talking points. It was the week in which right wing shill and apologist Mark Halperin called out Paul Bremmer for being the war monger that he is.
