May 30 – Will Obama Run Against Wall Street?; Romney Embraces “Birther” Buffoon; Radioactive Tuna!

Full Program

Part 1

We begin with Mike Lux who is the CEO of Progressive Strategies and served as a Special Assistant to the President for Public Liaison from 1993 to 1995. We discuss the backlash to Obama’s criticism of Bain Capital from Wall Street Democrats and whether Obama will adopt a more populist anti-Wall Street campaign against the candidate of the 1%.

Part 2

Then, following last night’s two fundraisers that reality TV star Donald Trump threw for Mitt Romney, we speak with Rashad Robinson, the Executive Director of ColorOfChange who is publically calling for Mitt Romney to repudiate Donald Trump’s racially-tinged “birther” obsession and distance himself from Trump who is urging Romney to embrace this racist conspiracy theory as a tactic to win the presidential election.

Part 3

Then finally, with news reports that radioactive tuna have been caught in Californian waters, we look into the extent to which radioactivity from the Japanese nuclear disaster has arrived on America’s shores and whether the public has been fully informed. Award-winning investigative journalist, Karl Grossman joins us to discuss the continuing fallout from Fukushima and why the recent head of the NRC was forced to resign.
