April 16, 2015

Ben Gordon, an Attorney with Levin Papantonio, explains why some California wine producers have dangerous levels of arsenic in their wines. How do you find out if the wine you are drinking is dangerous? Why winemakers do not need to disclose their ingredients? What’s the endgame for the lawsuit against unethical winemakers? Also the best way to find out about dangerous wines.

Peter Mougey of Levin Papantonio explains the importance of Elizabeth Warren’s attack on the DOJ for nobody being held criminally accountable in the banking industry. Why financial reform is still failing. The under staffing crisis at the SEC. Why Elizabeth Warren is shrewd to not run for President. The corruption of FINRA. How corporations run the legal process.

On The Fun Half: David Pakman joins Sam and explains the most crazy interviews he has done recently. The pathetic Republican field and who David thinks the nominee will be. Debating the Republican establishment. Who will win the Republican nomination? Will progressives vote for Hillary? Alex Lawson of Social Security Works joins the conversation to explain how Republicans will attack Hillary. The power and lack of power of mainstream media in today’s world. The Senate Democrats progressive moves on Paid Medical leave and Social Security. The inane politics of mainstream Social Security coverage. Chris Christie’s plutocrat push on Social Security. The Pete Peterson scam. Also your calls and IMs.
