Full Program

Part 1

Part 2

Then we go to Moscow to speak with the editor of a popular science magazine who was fired for not covering Putin’s stunt flying with the cranes. Masha Gessen, the author of “The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin” joins us to discuss the on-going struggle of brave Russians standing up to an increasingly repressive leader who continues to dramatically reverse freedom of expression and the legal, civil and human rights of Russians.

Part 3

Then finally we examine the latest attempt by the Wall Street banking lobby to undo the Dodd-Frank post 2008 reforms. Amit Narang, Public Citizen’s regulatory policy advocate and Editor of The Administrative Law Review joins us to discuss how a bi-partisan group of Senators are pushing a poison pill bill posing as financial reform that will enable Wall Street to smother attempts at oversight with endless delays through litigation.
