Chase Madar on Chelsea Manning & sadism, Ben Adler on Governor Moonbeam, Katie on Bear Sex

On this episode of the Katie Halper, we talk Chelsea Manning, the fate of the planet, Judith Miller's tweets and sex with Bears (oh my!) We speak to journalist Ben Adler about what Trump can and can't do to ruin the planet and what states can do to try to save it. Ben and I get into a debate over Chelsea Manning being a litmus test for political orientation, which is funny because Ben doesn't cover that and doesn't know a lot about the case and neither did I, though that didn't stop either of us from arguing about it. To be fair, I'm the host and Ben was admitted upfront this wasn't his area of expertise. So, I then talk to Chase Madar, a lawyer, writer ad author of The Passion of Bradley Manning (written and published before Chelsea had come out as transgender and changed names)about the case, Judith Miller's tweets, and why journalists need to stop treating politicians the way Park Slope parents treat their enabled and coddled children. When it comes to criminal justice reform, "the time for positive reenforcement is past."
