Coming up on today’s show, we’ll be talking to John Gallagher of Occupy Chicago about the mass arrests that happened this weekend at Grant Park.

We’ll also be talking to David Lehnert and Gregg Housh of Occupy Boston about what has happened at Dewey Square since they were raided by the police a week ago yesterday.

We also have my good friend Cliff Schecter back on the show to talk about his latest article for Al Jazeera on the right wing’s empty worshiping of idols in the United States.

Plus we have the world premiere of the trailer for Michele Bachmann: The Movie.

We’ll also be discussing the amazing confrontation between a US Marine and the NYPD, and why the Occupy movement should reach out to veterans, firefighters, and police officers to join their ranks.

Our writer/performer today is Josh Bolotsky.
