SNV Special Interview: Youth Homelessness

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how the Biden administration is sending stronger and stronger signals that it is effectively surrendering to the COVID pandemic – urging the public to “learn to live with” the deadly disease that has killed well over 800,000 people in the United States alone. They also discuss high profile talks taking place between US and Russian officials, the sentencing of the killers of Ahmaud Arbery, and devastating residential fires that took place in New York City and Philadelphia; and speak with Toronto-based organizer Aminah Sheikh about recent successes in the labor movement.

U.S. Capitalism Surrenders to COVID

(1/20/2022) Currently the Omicron wave is overwhelming many institutions including healthcare institutions and hospitals. Currently in the US the pandemic is out of control. But many of the problems in US hospitals that have made the situation worse like short staffing were problems that existed long before the pandemic. And unfortunately US hospitals failed to prepare for a pandemic even though all public health officials and epidemiologists new it was only a matter of time before an infectious disease would reach pandemic levels. 

In this episode we go from the macro to the micro level and talk with Twin Cities nurse Bridget Gavin.

SNV Special Report: Healthcare Emergency

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem and Nicole Roussell discuss the political period twenty years ago when George W Bush laid out “the axis of evil” – Iraq, Iran, and North Korea – and escalated the “war on terror,” which was really just a campaign of imperialist war and intervention. 

They also analyze the escalating war against Russia, the Washington Post’s Sunday lead editorial with an alarming message, the newest thing named after Jeff Bezos (it’s a library!), dark money in elections, the plea deals for the murderers of Ahmaud Arbery, the new angle that the U.S. press is taking against China’s incredible record against Covid, and the campaign to transfer political prisoner Leonard Peltier to a hospital to treat his Covid infection.

The panel also covers the far right convoy in Canada, a shooting at a protest in Portland, Daunte Wright’s killer's sentencing, methane plumes seen from space, and more.

Crisis in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has altered the global order. How is it changing politics around the globe? What is the historical background of the different nations in the region throughout the different historical eras and how does that affect the current conflict? What does history tell us about where this is headed?

Brian Becker is joined by Vijay Prashad, the Executive Director of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, Chief Editor of LeftWord Books, and author  of “Red Star Over the Third World.”

Ukraine as a Pawn: The Real Reason the US Forced a Crisis with Russia

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole  Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how Joe Biden deepened the war in Ukraine during a trip to Poland over the weekend when he declared that  Russian president Putin “cannot remain in power.”  As the United States and other NATO powers raise the stakes, is there  any hope for a breakthrough in negotiations? The panel also discusses  the administration’s massive new military spending proposal, protests  against British colonialism in the Caribbean, the death of Madeline Albright, the debate over Russian oil purchases, and more.

U.S. Strategy vs. Russia: Regime Change, Encirclement, or Both?

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard  Wolff discuss the Biden administration's budget proposal for the coming  year on Monday, proposing an enormous increase to the military budget  as the new Cold War intensifies. Biden  also included a proposal to tax the ultra-rich, but is this really  enough to make a dent in the enormous level of inequality in this  country?

Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.

Biden's New Budget Gives $31 Billion Gift to War Industry

Key international relationships are being profoundly tested by the war in Ukraine, especially the alliance between China and Russia – the two countries at the top of the U.S. empire’s hit list. How does China’s government view Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine? Will the relationship between the two countries grow closer or more distant as the western powers attempt to cut Russia off from the global economy? What consequences will this have for the entire world?

Brian is joined by Dr. Ken Hammond, professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University, founding director of the Confucius Institute at New Mexico State University, and activist with Pivot to Peace.

This moment of silence is 8 minutes and 46 seconds long, representing how long Officer Chauvin kept his knee on George Floyd. I ask for you to take this time to honor his life, the countless others who have been lost to such acts, and those still fighting for equality and justice.
