The Katie Halper Show

Dr. Victoria Dooley explains why she, as a Black woman, physician and mother, supports Bernie Sanders and became a surrogate for his campaign. She shares a story about a patient who died because she put off going to the doctor and shows the life and death importance of #medicareforall. Plus she pushes back on the Bernie Bro myth, addresses what issues won't be solved by medicare for all, the importance of having more Black doctors, what got her into medicine and tells us about being RT'd by Cardi B. And how people could be angrier about Bernie raising his voice then they are about the injustices he's raising his voice (and awareness) around.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

My piece on Sydney Ember https://fair.org/home/sidney-embers-secret-sources/ Carl's paper: https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/GlobalGreenNewDeal.pdf I chat with Carl Beijer about his new paper, published by the People's Policy Project, on how to pay for the Global Green New Deal, why Third Way, the radical centrist think tank which says it will support any Dem but Bernie and works to cut social security and medicare, is so bad, the media's anti Bernie Bias and why Bernie should run as a socialist. I include clips of Sanders' speech on democratic socialism and Jim Kessler (of Third Way, ) bragging about working with Claire McCaskill (who lost her latest election), compromising on abortion, making abortion puns (the legislation had been "still born" "in gestation"), urging the Dems to focus less on climate change and minimum wage. I also include Third Way's Matt Bennett refusing to say how much money Third Way gets from Wall Street.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
