June 14, 2012

Today’s show is “live” to tape but still delivers fresh, new content!  From Netroots Nation, Joel Rubin (@JoelMartinRubin), Director of Policy and Government Affairs at Ploughshares Fund, discusses Iran; their nuclear arsenal, the complex negotiations and the use of cyber warfare.  Also, how cold war doctrine dictates US nuclear strategy and the GOP’s deep political resistance to reducing nuclear weapons.   And for members, Sam talks with blogger Jesse LaGreca (@JesseLaGreca) and marriage equality activist and author Zach Wahls (@zachwahls).  We’ll be back LIVE Friday! Use this post as today’s thread.
