Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin by picking up on the massive national security breach committed by Cabinet members and top advisors over Signal. The news leaves our typically verbose Professor gobsmacked and nearly speechless. He manages to call the act "evil, stupid". And after so many years of hearing cries to "lock her up!' referring to Hillary Clinton and a private email, we ask where are the investigations? Where is the outrage and when are the planned hearings? Well, folks. It's time to act.
Our democracy will not stand on its own. We must act and participate in our democracy for it to persevere. Get out and join the town halls sweeping the nation. Whether you participate in the events hosted by Bernie Sanders and AOC or in the zoom town halls like the one Harvey spoke at last night- act! Stand up, speak out, and ENGAGE in democracy!
And of course, we end the day with something good. We ran out of time to address it directly, but Jess put this one on the bumpers for the last segment. It's her something good for the day because it's petty, funny, and very well produced.
