As a conservative republican, I subscribed to this podcast to hear about opposing views. However, I am disappointed with liberal thinkers who come on this podcast. The minimum wage is already close to 15 dollars in major cities like New York, LA , San Fransisco and Seattle. It will be 15 dollars soon in other big cities as well. However, this has not improved outcomes of poor people in big cities. Liberals have abandoned what makes families successful. A married family with two parents is always better as it insulates the economic pain from job loss of one member. It will make sure children have two parents who care and could work out schedules to take care of home and family. Faith, Family and community are age old cornerstones of success. Liberals have ignored this, no amount of welfare can substitute stable family's role in children's success.

I don't know when you record these interviews, so maybe it's too late, but if not: please ask Dylan about his work on sustainable architecture with the Helical Farms Outpost project!

Thank you sooo much for bringing us Dylan Ratigan. The corruption is definitely bi-partisan -- note critique of Neera Tanden was for her obscene tweets - not massive Hillary Clinton fund massive corruption that she managed.

We have now entered a new phase -- beyond "just" chronic corruption. Direct attack on freedom of speech and publishers are no longer limited to publisher Julian Assange -- although silence by Democrat politicians and corporate media was deafening. Even once independent TYT and The Intercept have been coopted, i.e., corrupted, and actively participate in defamation of Julian Assange.

However, the recent letter by two California House "lifers" and useless Democrats Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney to CEO's of cable companies are truly unparalleled and represents the rise of fascism in the US -- under a guise of "fighting fascism." All these multiple attacks are clearly carefully choreographed and coordinated -- easily predicted and well understood since we should always keep in mind that there is one huge elephant in the room:

The scam of the century - the now 5-year long Russia-gate hoax initiated by Obama/Biden administration

The Russia-gate hoax and two-impeachment “entertainments” were concocted by Obama/Hillary/Biden/Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Maxine Waters, Jamie Ruskin, etc., etc. -- and their intelligence and DNC executives on behalf of their Wall Street and military and security industry donors, i.e., the War party

By far the absolutely highest need and interest of Biden government and its DNC oligarch cabal is that Russia-gate immense hoax – the scam of the century -- will NOT / will NEVER be exposed.

This represents a new phase of US domestic politics -- on foreign policy oligarchs of both parties are united.

Hence immense obligations to primary propagandists for their roles, including despicable Kamala Harris (Hillary’s protégé), Neera Tanden, Melissa Hodgman (wife of the Comey’s infamous Peter Strzok), Pete Buttigieg, etc, and media executives.

The question is perhaps: Who will be the first Democrat Congressman or Senator to publicly confirm the Russia-gate conspiracy? There is absolutely no "unity and healing" until that... Trump’s utter incompetence in handling Covid-19 created the human and economic catastrophe that should enter US history named as - Trump-virus. He brought into government religious extremism and racism. The next "Trump" will be more competent and more dangerous.

Democrats are now introducing extreme measures -- massive censorship and silencing of opponents. This is a sure sign of utter desperation of DNC corrupt and sclerotic leadership and its likely defeat and obliteration in next elections

Further to this discussion, you should look at the larger (Global Corporate Coup d'État) a.k.a the Great "Reset" or "Corporate Coup" which has been slowly rolling forward for the past few decades and is now poised to happen...

Here is an interview on TheAnalysis-news (Jay Paul's) between Lynn Fries of GPS Global Political News Docs and Nick Buxton of the Trans National Institute https://youtu.be/DSK_LUkw9Cc

No one is really covering this and it is the Meta Story riding on top of what we see playing out in the US, UK and elsewhere as the corruption of government by the Corporate Elite. The Davonians (i.e. Transnational Corporate Elite who's tribe gathers together in Davos each year to compare evil plans for the world economic domination summit... a.k.a World Economic Forum)

TNI https://www.tni.org/en/page/staff where Nick Buxton works and http://www.TheAnalysis.news are great sources I follow.

During the interview, Nick Buxton references one of the great Democratic Socialist Tony Ben of UK Labour party fame (1925-2014) who published the 1979 book "Arguments for Socialism" and famously always asked the following 5 key questions about examining political power:

“What power have you got?”

“Where did you get it from?”

“In whose interests do you use it?”

“To whom are you accountable?”

“How do we get rid of you?”

“How do we get rid of you?” The best question!
