October 30 - Assad Warns the Region Will Burn; Glenn Greenwald on our Two-Tiered Justice System

Full Program

Part 1

We begin with an update on Syria where the Assad dictatorship has just warned that the region will go up in flames if the regime is threatened by what it calls Western interference. A specialist on Syria, James Gelvin joins us to assess where the real opposition, the Syrian people, are heading in terms of armed resistance supplanting peaceful protest since thousands of unarmed citizens have been killed by a regime that is prepared to cling to power at any cost.

Part 2

Then we are joined by former constitutional and civil rights litigator and contributing writer to Salon, Glenn Greenwald, the author of “With Liberty and Justice for Some; How the Law is Used to Destroy and Protect the Powerful”.  We discuss the two-tiered system of justice in this country that protects the powerful and punishes the powerless, and how the uprising by the 99% is the first step in reversing a complete takeover of America by oligarchs.
