Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon give a lead in to next week's show, an interview with Olive Senior, author of Dying to Better themselves: West Indians and the Building of the Panama Canal.
Phil Taylor, joined by Phil Conlon, notes the important debate on Black Agenda Report regarding the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM). Phil evaluates the importance of BLM in light of the watershed racism agenda that negatively dominates the US elections. Taylor emphasizes "...the dividing line between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton doesn't exist. It is just a question of what is your favorite name...."
The two Phils note the political inconsistencies, hypocrisies and shenanigans of the Canadian electoral system and candidates who "dance" around the issues, including the NDP (New Democratic Party). Taylor notes: All play defense and ponder "how do I back into office."
Taylor and Conlon also discuss UK popular and long-time MP Jeremy Corbyn, who is working to lead the labour party. Corbyn has important stands regarding reality of war against Ukraine, Palestinian rights, and getting rid of NATO and nuclear weapons.
Robert and Michael Meeropol, sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, letter to the NYT calling on the Obama government to exonerate their mother, who was wrongly convicted of espionage charges and wrongly executed. Phil addresses the unethical collaboration between one of the prosecutors, Roy Cohn, and the trail judge, Irving Kaufman.
