#20 - Labor Day & Immigration

Why is Donald Trump good for the election in 2016?  Aaand of course why he isn’t.  Also, how can getting too excited about Bernie Sanders be a bad thing?  Immigrants take over, and the unions do what unions do.

#19 - Graham Rue Joins MV

Please be patient with the audio quality today as we are in a NEW studio and still making adjustments.  Here, Donald Trump announces his presidency, and then we make fun of him.  Who is "we", you ask?  I present my new co-host Graham Rue @instagrahamrue with a welcome gift as he describes his distaste for U.S. politics and his forbidden love with common sense as he prophesies the 2016 presidential election of Independent VT Senator Bernie Sanders.  Music provided by the Free Music Archive (www.freemusicarchive.org) under Creative Commons.  Today's music by Evil Bear Boris and Shopping.

After MILLIONS OF COMMENTS from people like you, chairman Tom Wheeler of the FCC announces that internet providers will NOT be able to provide "fast lanes" to premium customers at the cost of "slow lanes" to everyone else.  As we enjoy this major MV victory, it's time to reflect on the beauty of the interwebs.

#15 - Represent.Us Interview with Mansur Gidfar

Mansur Gidfar of Represent.Us tells us all about how money is corrupting our political process in the good ole USofA and what we can do about it.  He comes from a group with some serious street cred, a plan, and a running start.  You don't want to miss this, unless of course you hate democracy and freedom in equal measure.
