For millions of out of work Americans, the news that the private sector added more than 200,000 new jobs in April was a breath of fresh air. The only problem is that these aren't the kinds of jobs that Americans would normally be lining up to apply for. 62,000 of these jobs are for McDonald's and many of the rest include minimum wage-paying positions that are either for seasonal work or provide no benefits. This recovery poses a serious question -- are we becoming a service society?

Papantonio: Military Exposing Troops to Toxic Chemicals
Our men and women in uniform have always given their best for America and it is our duty to take care of them. That's why this next story is so awful -- As it turns out our government had been trying to prevent US troops from learning about the dangerous chemicals that had seeped into the water supply at a military base in North Carolina about 30 years ago. As a result of these chemicals numerous soldiers became sick and some even died as a result of the cancers these chemicals caused. Mike Papantonio talks with documentary filmmakers Rachel Libert and Tony Hardmon who have just released a new film called "Semper Fi" which tells the story of one Marine's mission to expose the lies from the government that killed his daughter.

Papantonio: Let's End the Weiner Problem
With the new developments being made public every day about Rep. Anthony Weiner, it is becoming harder and harder to defend his actions.

Mike Papantonio appears on The Ed Show to discuss the continuing saga of Anthony Weiner.

Papantonio: US Chamber Pushing Us Toward Fascism
The US Chamber of Commerce was thrilled when the US Supreme Court ruled that they could pour millions of dollars into political races but it still wasn't enough for the Chamber. Today they are still fighting to prevent proposals that would force the Chamber and her member companies to disclose publicly who they are throwing money behind if they want to continue receiving government contracts. This is just the latest step in the Chamber's plan to make our democratic government completely irrelevant and useless. Mike Papantonio talks about the Chamber's plan, and how to fight back, with Robert Weissman, the president of Public Citizen.

Papantonio: How Banks Came to Rule America
When the US Supreme Court ruled that corporations could pour as much money into political campaigns as they can afford, they basically told politicians that, if they want to be elected, they have to cater to the big businesses who are financing campaigns. Research shows that in almost any election -- from local level to federal -- the candidate that spends the most money will almost always win. Corporate America knows this and thanks to the Supreme Court they know that they are in control. Mike Papantonio talks about this with David DeGraw, founder of the Amped Status blog.

Papantonio: Conservatives Turn Colleges Into Ayn Rand Universities
A few weeks ago the story broke about how the Koch Brothers had bought themselves a position of influence at Florida State University. But the story goes far beyond both FSU and the Koch Brothers. It turns out that right wing billionaires and think tanks have been actively buying positions at universities across America for years just so they can help push their Ayn Rand, laissez-faire capitalism ideas about corporations being righteous and government being evil. Mike Papantonio talks about how this happened and how the GOP is trying to indoctrinate college students with investigative journalist Daniel Denvir.

RFK, Jr.: How The Middle Class Disappeared
There was a time in American history when the wealthiest Americans did their part to support our government and our country by simply paying taxes. Today however they pay almost nothing in taxes and they are the ones who are actually lending money to our federal government. As a result, they now own as much as 40% of our country's national debt. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. talks about how this happened and why nobody noticed, with Robert Reich, former secretary of labor under president Bill Clinton, and Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley.

Papantonio: How Capitalism Has Failed Us
Protesters in Wisconsin have taken to the streets to protest Republican Governor Scott Walker and his disastrous plan for their state. These protesters have been at it since February of this year. But in other areas of the country, Republicans are working to strip us of our rights but the streets are empty. We don't have protesters shining a spotlight on the corruption in other parts of the country and because of this the abuse just keeps coming. That's why my next guest is so inspiring -- Justin Jones is only 17 and yet he is more politically active than most people in this country and we were pleased to have him back on Ring of Fire with us recently.

Papantonio: Why the Religious Right Loves the Tea Party
What is happening in America is an expression of mass dysfunction "inspired" by the allegiance of millions of individuals to the Bible. That is all the culture war really is. The religious right helped form the Republican Party's belief that the government is evil and that corporations are just. They started the culture wars with divisive issues like abortion and gay marriage. And today they are a driving force behind the Tea Party in America. Mike Papantonio talks about how this happened and what the religious right has in store for the next election with Frank Schaeffer, author of the new book "Sex, Mom, and God."

Papantonio: Industry Hiding Cell Phone Radiation Dangers
Studies have been around for years linking cell phone usage to brain tumors and other radiation-related ailments but it wasn't until May of this year that the World Health Organization decided to list cell phones as a possible carcinogen. And in spite of all of the studies showing a link between cancers and cell phone use, the industry and most of the American public continues to deny that there is a problem. Mike Papantonio talks about the dangers of cell phone radiation with attorney Hunter Lundy.

Papantonio: Climate Change Deniers Watching The World Burn
The Republican response to climate change, even in the face of extreme weather, never ceases to amaze me. We have record-breaking tornadoes, floods, droughts, snow storms, and heat waves, and all they can say is "Oh well, that's just how weather works." They completely ignore the fact that global climate change is not only real, but we're experiencing the effects of it on a daily basis in America. Mike Papantonio talks about why we should be concerned about the weather and even more concerned about the climate change deniers, with author Paul Loeb.

Papantonio: Heartland Institute Kicks Off Climate Change Denial-a-Palooza
The conservative Heartland Institute is holding their annual climate change summit where they hope to convince those in attendance that climate change is just a liberal hoax. It should come as no surprise that Heartland was founded and is funded by some of the biggest polluters in America. Mike Papantonio talks about what's really driving Heartland's climate change denial with Brendan DeMelle, executive director and managing editor of DeSmogBlog.com.

It's like I told CCbatson before he left, "You're welcome aboard this train but first understand that there are no stops on this line. This train won't stop."
It hasn't.

Gave it a try, but I just couldn't understand the dialogue. When watching TV, I usually have the closed captioning on, but that won't work on the 'puter. Thx anyway.
