On today’s show, we have Joan McCarter from Daily Kos here to talk about Democrats and the economy, healthcare, and big banks vs. big retail.

We’ll also be joined by the labor reporter for In These Times Magazine, Mike Elk. Mike will give us an update on the war on unions that’s currently being waged in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Washington and beyond.

We also have Lee Fang from Think Progress here to talk about his recent report on how the Koch Brothers built an oil speculation empire, as well as former Senator Evan Bayh’s new job.

Plus we’ll be joined by a top Republican Strategist, who will give his expert campaign advice to the GOP frontrunners.

Our writer/performer today is Chris Sowa.
