Part One: Investigative journalist David Dayen joins us to talk about his piece at American Prospect, “How Sears Was Gutted By Its own CEO.” CEO Eddie Lampert was the CEO, the largest creditor, and the guy who sold major Sears assets to….himself. It’s an outrageous story of vulture capitalism – sucking a company dry and tossing it aside.
Part Two: Our weekly trip to the doctor – Dr. Politics aka Steffen Schmidt from Iowa State U. Steffen is here in our studio – a rare treat. Topics include: Kashoggi’s brutal murder, Mnuchin not going to Saudi Arabia, Trump’s response, his own connections to the Saudis, as well as Jared Kushner’s. Will there really be a blue wave? Bread and butter issues, Amazon raises wages, and more.
