On this episode Gabe and i talk to Jane F. McAlevey who has been an organizer in the environmental and labor movements for over 20 years. She A Post Doctoral Fellow in the Labor and Worklife Program at Harvard Law School and the author "Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell): My Decade Fighting for the Labor Movement." We talk to Jane about her latest book, "No Short cuts: organizing for power in the New Guilded Age." She even tells us something she has never said before! After the interview, Gabe and I talk about identity politics, DNC chair race and some surprisingly racists things Garrison Keeler said. Then we get into some not at all surprisingly racist things that renowned bigot Alan Dershowitz said. And as a bonus, I talk to Nomiki Konst, a reporter at the Young Turks, who has done the best and most thorough reporting on the conflicts of interest rampant at the DNC and the DNC chair race. This was going to be patreon premium content but it's too important for me not to share part of it with everyone. But to hear the rest of the interview with Nomiki Konst, go to patreon.com/thekatiehalpershow https://www.patreon.com/posts/8346121. And major shout out to Kathleen Hancock who answered the call I put out on twitter and Facebook asking for a bumper we could use at the beginning and end of videos we make out of our some of our shows. She's extremely talented and donated her talent and time to us.

Guest host Jesse Myerson and I talk to Becky Bond about concrete ways to organize against Trump, what big organizing means and why the Revolution will be neither staffed nor exploitative. We also go over the role of podcast hosts and whether I can some how subsidize good organizations fighting against Trump by fighting with shills on Twitter. And then we talk about the #DNCchair race and how it reveals the utter stupidity of some establishment dems (my words not Becky's). We have great bonus content coming up tomorrow, which consists of my reading the best and worst tweets of the week, thoughts on Sally Albright and Jen Palmieri and a bonus interview with Sarah Jaffe. But we have a freebie bonus at the end of the episode in which Sarah shares her thoughts on the #DNCchair race.

On this very exciting episode of the Katie Halper Show, Gabe Pacheco and I talk about the Trump administration's decision to omit the words "Jews" and"antisemitism" from its Holocaust Memorial Day statement. While the administration seriously pretends they did so because they have an intersectional understand of the Holocaust and want to honor all victims, we're pretty sure it's because they're Nazi-courting. Then we talk to journalist Eoin Higgins about why he called for a general strike. We bring in journalists Natasha Lennard and Arun Gupta to debate the if, when, why and how of a general strike and what opposition to Trump can and will look like. Check out the bonus debate between Gupta and Lennard over the role of black block, violence and Nazi-punching in organizing against Trump. https://www.patreon.com/posts/7982160

On this episode of the Katie Halper, we talk Chelsea Manning, the fate of the planet, Judith Miller's tweets and sex with Bears (oh my!) We speak to journalist Ben Adler about what Trump can and can't do to ruin the planet and what states can do to try to save it. Ben and I get into a debate over Chelsea Manning being a litmus test for political orientation, which is funny because Ben doesn't cover that and doesn't know a lot about the case and neither did I, though that didn't stop either of us from arguing about it. To be fair, I'm the host and Ben was admitted upfront this wasn't his area of expertise. So, I then talk to Chase Madar, a lawyer, writer ad author of The Passion of Bradley Manning (written and published before Chelsea had come out as transgender and changed names)about the case, Judith Miller's tweets, and why journalists need to stop treating politicians the way Park Slope parents treat their enabled and coddled children. When it comes to criminal justice reform, "the time for positive reenforcement is past."

Our latest episode, which is a great one, is coming ASAP! Sorry for delay. Got distracted by the whole Trump becoming president thing. But, speaking of the devil, pun maybe intended?, we have a great bonus ep about the Trump-inspired Women's March and we're making it available for errrbody, even if you're not a Patreon subscriber. We wanted to make sure you could hear it and also thought it would be medically irresponsible for us to induce withdrawal in our loyal listeners...
So, here is the (only one hour) discussion I had with special guest Karina Moreno, a professor at LIU who writes and focuses on immigration and is herself a native of Monterey, Mexico. and with Reggie Johnson that was part of a three hour special covering the women's march.

We talk to Abby Martin and Mike Prysner, the host and producer of the Empire Files, about why the DNI intelligence report named Martin as responsible for helping Russia Putin hack the elections. Spoiler alert: she didn't. And we go over Trump's presser, the headlines, why the intelligence community needs better interns and more. We also bring up Nando Vila of Fusion and Sam Alcoff of DemocracyNow! and start a larger conversation about the media under Trump. In order to hear the rest of that conversation, which I really recommend, join our Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/posts/7760961

In this really, really good ep, if I do say so myself, Doug Henwood and go over the refusal of the DNC & the Clinton campaign to acknowledge or learn from their mistakes, even when their mistakes helped bring us Trump. Henwood points out that if you care about the people who will most suffer under Trump, you can't shield Clinton or the DNC. You have to actually look at what happened so it doesn't happen again. We also look at why the same liberals who loudly insist that all Trump voters are bigots have zero interest in actually coming up with any solutions to this problem. Their only solution seems to be to wait around for decades until the demography shifts.
As a bonus we are offering a video of Doug and Liza Featherstone to everyone at Patreon. And we will have bonus content for our Patreon supporters. Make sure you come to our next live show! https://www.facebook.com/events/1190832977697158/
