Haven't had the chance to listen to this yet, but a question: has there been adequate reporting on ex-KPFA host Jerry Brown's insidious water-grab for the commodity mono-cropping "farmer" lobby? Arnold would have been stopped by Dem Assemblycritters, but of course a Dem Gov can just roll all manner of crap thru. Truly poised to devastate the ecology of our rivers & delta. Oh, but Jerry's Hollywood pals will get pristine water dirt-cheap for carwashing, poolfilling, and golfcoursing. Is this being covered.. ANYWHERE?
Biden loves killer flying robots and I loathe Biden!
I loved the show today. I wish every republican would listen to it. I've been saying for years that the reason why we are in debt and why our public services are short funded is because of all of the corporate tax breaks. This show today presented facts and data in a very direct and concise way that put things straight. Thank you! :)
