In the wake of the 2016
election, Democrats across the country are debating what the future of the
party should like, and key to that future is the person who will lead the Party
in the age of President Donald Trump.
Joining me today to talk all about the race for the Party Chair, why he
is running for the position, and what his plan is for the Party is Former U.S.
Secretary of Labor Tom Perez.
The day after Donald
Trump was sworn in as President, millions of Americans turned out in mass in
support of liberty, sorority, and equality.
The marches were conceived by women, led by women, and staged in the
name of women and were a forceful pushback to the notion that because a woman
just lost the American presidency, women should not be leading the politics of
the left. Joining me today to talk all about the Women’s March and how it
proved that the future of progressivism is female and that women are the face,
body and energy of what is now the Resistance is Rebecca Traister, writer at large for New York magazine and a contributing editor at Elle.
Whether
you call it ‘Pot’, ‘Weed’, ‘Grass’, or ‘Mary Jane’ - our collective
understanding of the cannabis plant has been confused by politics and religion
and according to Joe Dolce the
former editor-in-chief of Details and
Star Magazines, what we think we know
isn’t the real story. In his book Brave New Weed: Adventures into the Uncharted World of Cannabis he traces the plants history and possible future while
investigating the social, medical, legal, and cultural ramifications of
marijuana. Joe joins me on the show today to talk all about the book and the
future of the cannabis industry.
