20250109 National Day of Mourning, Howie Klein, The Freedom to Read Act & More!

Today is a National Day of Mourning. Sadly, that works on so many levels. Today President Jimmy Carter's official funeral was held. The last truly decent man to be president is gone. Perhaps some of his goodness will now enter the souls of those who have or seek power. But I'm not holding my breath. The mourning is not only for Jimmy Carter - it's for our democracy, the future of the nation (and the world), and my former home of Los Angeles where so many friends and former neighbors have lost everything. Yes, we're in mourning. Today is Thursday, when we get together with Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC. It's been a while since we've done this as I was challenge with some health issues that kept me off the air, and then the holidays. But we're back together today. And we're joined by NJ State Senator Andrew Zwicker who was supposed to be with us last month. Better late than never! He'll tell us about the law he got passed in NJ, The Freedom to Read Act.
