Ralph welcomes Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute, to break down the budget bill passing through Congress that is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and working-class to the wealthy in United States history.
Heidi Shierholz of the Economic Policy Institute does a masterful job in outlining and filling in the details of how the upward movement of money in the budget will severely harm ordinary people in the US and millions of those who voted for Trump.
The march to harm ordinary people began with Reagan and has reached its summit with the scowler-in-chief, Trump. He will cause harm to ordinary peoples’ health, safety, education, and a host of other variables while causing a massive increase in the national debt. This is not exactly making America great again!
Robert Hunter provides an excellent perspective on the auto insurance industry. That industry has had its hand in my pocket for decades despite a pretty much perfect driving record. My family got nothing back on our insurance during the pandemic even though we hardly drove. But my insurer was quick to raise my rates when a rock in the road hit my front bumper and did some damage. It was only through appealing to Massachusetts and going to a hearing that I was able to stop that ripoff.
"UN-PRECEDENTED"❓ U.S. Americans are NOT so Young, Drug-Addled, Aged or BrainDead to forget that Depraved Corporate Criminals CEOs & Boards of Directors have been ABOVE The LAW since Clinton signed Bidenz 1994 Crime Bill❗️
Saif AbuKeshek, member of the international committee of Global March to Gaza, describes a growing international movement of over 1,500 people from more than 35 countries preparing to march from Al-Arish, Egypt, to the Rafah border on June 15 to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and the opening of the border for humanitarian aid. AbuKeshek calls Gaza “the last stand of humanity,” condemns world leaders for their complicity, and emphasizes that ordinary people are stepping up where governments have failed. “I don’t want to sit with my grandchild one day and have no answer when they ask: What did you do?”
The idea of "no tax on tips" is misleading. Most tipped workers do not earn enough money to pay taxes anyway. Since Project 2025 is anti-worker and anti-union, this feels like a tactic to return us to the era of the Robber Barons, when workers had few rights and earned very little.
Ralph Nader, is an American treasure and he’s the go to for the truth ❤️🇺🇸❤️
We’ve got to form a coalition pleading, if necessary, for Ralph to once again for president.
Can’t think of anything that would energize people more.

Even though not part of today’s Radio Hour, my article “Gaza, Genocide, and Antisemitism” might be of interest to listeners: https://thelastnewleftist.com/gaza-genocide-and-antisemitism/

How do we get Congress /Senate to hold shadow hearings if we live in a Republican Party held state ?
Fantastic interview with Heidi Shierhotz! A link to it should be posted on her Bluesky page.
Read Lewis Powell's 1971 memo to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce(Caitalists). Nixon apointed this snake to the Supreme Court too.
Thank you Ralph and Heidi. Why do people continue to vote for this Criminal Red and Blue cabal?

Thank You. When i went to the RadioHour Substack just a few minutes ago this wasn't there.
