In this interview, he and The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur discuss:
The mostly unknown history of the US government’s sordid efforts to weed gays and lesbians out of the federal workforce.
The so-called “Sex Deviates” program launched by J. Edgar Hoover.
The very personal story of Charles Francis, a gay friend of the Bush family, who was cast aside by George Bush for the sake of political expediency in 2004.
Why the 21st century news media has become increasingly neutered and non-adversarial
How agreement between Republicans and Democrats keeps stories like the drone strike program from getting legs.
Whether the IRS scandal was promoted to keep the Federal Government from looking into campaign finance irregularities.
The 2016 presidential race and the prospects for Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
