Tues. 03/24 8:30a: Is Venezuela really a threat to the security of the United States, as the White House has declared? And if not, what can be the point of such a statement? We'll get an accounting about what seems to be threatening Washington from activist and author Alfredo Lopez, of May First/People Link.
Also on the show: "Coal is an outlaw enterprise," declared Robert Kennedy Jr. in a New York Times op-ed last December. Apart from that forceful opinion piece, though, you probably haven't seen very much about one of the most damaging -- to people and the environment -- aspects of that enterprise: mountaintop removal. After years of activism, are we about to see an end to that harmful process? We'll hear from Jeff Biggers, author of Reckoning at Eagle Creek: The Secret Legacy of Coal in the Heartland.
