The Katie Halper Show

For more go to: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-1-ny-times-14239759. This is a really jam-packed episode! First, I share my experience touching Bernie Sanders, then we play audio from a speech he gave at Riverside Church, the same church where Martin Luther King gave his "Beyond Vietnam" speech 50 years ago. Gabe and I discuss both speeches, Joe Arpaio and why a New York TImes journalist is repeating a smear first hatched in March 2016 about Jane Sanders. We even include a Woody Allen Woody Guthrie mashup, and you will see why. Then I talk to Karina Moreno, a professor at LIU, who specializes in immigration about Donald Trump's decision on DACA. Karina, who was once undocumented herself, shares her experience living "with a black cloud of dread" over her head, and how President Obama betrayed the DREAMers by handing over their personal information to Donald Trump. Were dreamers better off before DACA? Listen to find out.

He shares what he observed, his take on the police, which isn't what you'd expect, and why Neera Tanden is so wrong.

This ep is like a Variety Show for the Left. We bring you 5 interviews I did at The People's Summit in Chicago. Meet Larry Krasner, the anti-death penalty, civil rights attorney who won the Democratic primary and is running for Philadelphia DA; Paula Jean Swearengin, a real-life coal miner's daughter, running against Senator Joe Manchin to represent West Virginia; Stephen Jaffe running against Nancy Pelosi; Ginger Jantzen, running for Minneapolis City Council Ward 3, and Andre Vasquez, who should run for office but is currently executive director of Reclaim Chicago/Chicago Progress.

We go over why McCain refuses to stop using racial slurs, setting bombing campaigns to pop music, and whether we agree with Donald Trump's assessment of McCain.

MAKE SURE YOU HEAR OUR BONUS EP: https://www.patreon.com/posts/13126341 On this episode we talk to Randy @IronStache Bryce, the union iron worker running to defeat Paul Ryan about his campaign, his time in the military, what he learned from being stationed in Honduras and his interesting ethnic identity. Then we talk to Karina Moreno about "The politics of Solidarity, Muslim and Latino immigrants " and the silver lining of the Trump presidency.

We talk to "progressive warrior" Anoa Changa, host of The Way with Anoa, about the difference between shallow identity politics and real intersectionality, the relationship between economic and racial justice, fighting racism within the progressive movement & calling out the "covert racism & overt classism" of North Eastern liberals. Anoa talks James Baldwin, Adolph Reed, W.E.B DuBois, offers tips & insights into how we become a movement of the 99%. And Anoa and I discuss the value of talking about Sanders' campaign and the response it garnered from critics. Plus Gabe and I talk about my birthday, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Joy Reid and Neera Tanden.

To access out bonus Thomas Frank Interview, join our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/12313026 This is a really fun ep! We talk about pushup bras, Salvador Allende, gun violence vs violence, worst health care takes and then we talk to THOMAS FRANK! Also, there is indeed documentary evidence that Pinochet et al were going to kill Allende, despite claiming to offer him exile.

This episode is a live taping we did with PRINCETON historian Matt Karp. Matt talks about Frederick Douglas, the Civil War, the inspiration he takes from the periodic over throw of the ruling class, themistake the Dems make in courting woke Goldman Sachs, and the value of "Bernie Would have Won". Matt's analysis of the Kansas special election is especially relevant to Ossoff's loss.

Bonus is some of the standup I did after the show: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-katie-does-11813787 On this live taping of The Katie Halper Show, we talk to writer Angela Nagle (Kill All Normies) & Freddie DeBoer live and in person! We talk about free speech, why "No Platforming" is so annoying as a term and a practice, what a better word for it is, and one of the most annoying things about the Alt Right. DeBoer and Nagle make a great argument against no platforming from the Left.

Ben Jealous, the former president of NAACP, and Bernie Sanders surrogate returns to the show to talk running for governor of MD. He also reflects on the connection between racial and economic (in)justice and the false dichotomy of one or the other. Then we talk to Winnie Wong about the People's Summit people like Ben Jealous and Bernie Sanders as well as countless organizers will be gathering... Stay tuned for more from there.

We talk to writer, essayist and extremely smart (not JUST because of his British accent) person Sam Kriss about the British elections. Who will win? Why? When? How? Where? Why do Donald Trump and Theresa cling to each other, physically? And spiritually? Is Barack Obama more like Corbyn or Le Pen? The answer just might surprise you! Plus Gabe and I talk about public transportation, the movie Seven, the number 7, My (literal) best friend's wedding and more.

See Freddie LIVE at our June 14 event! http://www.give2wbai.org/product_p/ot0738-sp17.htm On this episode we talk to writer and academic Freddie DeBoer about political violence, no platforming and how the political Left needs more, not less, theory. Freddie argues against political violence and restriction of free speech (no-platforming) as viable tactics, saying, that the appeal some on the Left find in the idea of political violence "is more about managing disappointment that asking how we can actually win." Because "the Left lacks power in most contexts," no platforming would mean, "we're not going to be the censors. We're going to be the censored." Guest co-host Josh brings us headlines in the voice of a certain singer from the 1990s.
