Confederate Flag Down; Washington R-Word Football Name is Next! [IS]

I discuss the inspiring and emotional speech by South Carolina Republican Jenny Horne, in which she urges her colleagues to stop holding up the bill that would take down the Confederate Flag from the state house grounds.
I also discuss why symbols matter; including the Confederate Flag, the Washington Redskins logo, a burning cross, and Swastikas.

Release Bill Cosby's Deposition and Other Settlement Secrets that Affect the Public [ISLM]

I discuss whether or not the court that released Bill Cobsy’s deposition did the right thing. I also discuss whether sealed corporate settlements should also be released when corporations do wrong.
Then, in hour 2, Leslie and I talk about the ongoing situation at the NYSE after trading was stopped in all stocks for technical reasons.

Trump's Racism Leads to Yet Another Gun Debate [IS]

I discuss how the real concern about Donald Trump’s racist anti-Mexican comments is the Republicans who take him seriously.
I also debate a Conservative caller on the term “undocumented worker” versus “illegal alien,” as well as whether all gun purchases should require a background check.

Greece Should Leave the Euro Zone [IS]

The Euro harms Greece and helps Germany.
Controlling your own currency is vital to saving an economy. We did it in 2008. And we did it for Mexico (with loans) in the 1990’s. Greece needs to do it now.
Greece is the classic case of why the Federal-Reserve haters in the USA could not be more wrong.
So I’m glad Greece voted NO on the European austerity measures that will prevent it from ever growing enough to pay its debts back.
Bring back the Drachma!
