Eric Boehlert, Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America joins Rick to discuss the latest non news and distractions being force fed to the American public as we see a daily stream of #AlternativeFacts, distortions, and flat out lies being deployed by Trump administration spokespeople. How do Americans wade through the distractions and stay informed as to what is really going on behind the curtain?
Matías Vernengo, Professor of Economics Bucknell University and Naked Keynesianism blogger joins Rick to answer the question is full employment still viewed through the frame of an unemployment rate of less than 5% being optimal and if so have we been at full employment since 2015? Are we seeing the new normal of lower worker participation, especially working age males being left out?
Isaiah J. Poole, Communications Director at People’s Action joins Rick to discuss the recent news and information coming out of Washington DC and explain how working people can fight back and win against the onslaught of attacks coming from the Trump administration.
