Guest: Reporter Guy Lawson
May flew right by. Happy June, all! Sam just flew in from upstate NY on the MR helicopter to make it to the show on time.
Guy Lawson from Rolling Stone magazine joins us on the Stoner Arms Dealers, two Florida kids who armed Afghanistan.
In the Member’s Only Show Sam covers some stories he was unable to get to on the main show, talks about his call to Tom Scharpling’s “The Best Show on WFMU” (the birthplace of the Majority Report) to annoy Marc Maron, reminisces about the stories he reported on during the first ever MR, and responds to listener phone calls and IMs.
Topics Discussed on Today’s Show:
- NJ Gov Chris Christie makes sure that the middle class and poor in NJ shares in cuts across the board but he can take a $12 million state helicopter to his son’s baseball game.
- The middle class mass market is dead
- You can’t live on minimum wage. Duh. What happened to a living wage?
- Hidden budget cuts in the clean debt bill. It fails to pass.
