How Do You Make Lemonade? Today at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET)

The originator of the proverb, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” did not have in mind the sort of “lemons” we are being handed today: foreign and domestic policies that are, without exaggeration, anti-life. What are you doing–or what do you plan to start doing–to make lemonade out of this rotten fruit while working to save the country? We’ll start in the first hour by discussing some of this week’s lemons, while devoting the second hour to the making of lemonade. Be prepared to call in with your lemonade recipes!

Interview with Ladar Levison, Founder of Lavabit (Snowden email provider), Today at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET) (interview in 2nd hour)

Today’s first hour will be the usual discussion of some of the news of the week. In the second hour, I’ll be interviewing Ladar Levison, founder of Lavabit, Edward Snowden’s email provider. I’ll ask him about his legal battle with the government over his refusal to turn over Lavabit’s encryption keys, his decision to shut down his company and the inspiration for it, the technology behind email encryption and his plans for Dark Mail, a new end-to-end encrypted email service.

Another “Year of Action” in the failed “War on Poverty”? Discuss this and more with us today at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET)

The number of Americans in the work force is the lowest it’s been since the 1970s. Obama’s answer to this and other economic woes? A “Year of Action on Poverty”. We’ll discuss why this is immoral in addition to why it won’t work, just as the War on Poverty has failed for decades. See program notes, below, for links to all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss. (Of course we will discuss the Chris Christie scandal, too.)
