June 17 – Young Greeks Vote Against Old Crooks; A Guide for Democrats to Fight Back; Covering up the Boy Scouts “Perversion Files”

Full Program

First, we go to Greece for an update on the just-concluded elections that may decide whether or not Greece stays in the Eurozone. Eirene Efstathiou, a Greek/American artist joins us from an election results party of mostly young Syriza voters in Athens, and also joining us is a former U.S. Foreign Service Officer, John Brady Kiesling, who lives in Greece.

Then George Lakoff and Elizabeth Wehling joins us to discuss their new book “The Little Blue Book: The Essential Guide to Thinking and Talking Democratic,” which is intended to address the imbalance in America where conservatives successfully frame arguments while liberals argue amongst themselves without agreeing on a narrative. Lakoff and Wehling’s new book shows Democrats how to fight back on moral grounds and in concrete terms. 

Then finally, with the Oregon Supreme Court’s recent approval of the release of the so-called “perversion files” that the Boy Scouts of America and the Mormon Church have been sued to make public, we will speak with an award-winning journalist of a series titled “Scout’s Honor”. Peter Zuckerman who has come under attack from the Boy Scouts of America and the Mormon Church for his reporting in the “Oregonian” and the Idaho Falls “Post Register” joins us.
