IS DISNEY BANNING AMERICAN WORKERS?  

Attorney JAMES OTTO talks about his California lawsuit against the Disney giant for dumping its American workers and forcing them to train their own“cheaper” replacements being brought in from India.  According to Otto, this global scam involves the loss of millions of American jobs including nearly a thousand at Disney.  It’s a fascinating portrait of yet another corporate assault on the American workforce, this time at the iconic place where “dreams come true.”

ARE AMERICA’S ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES OBSOLETE?        

The second half-hour of our show is with STEVE ROSENFELD of AlterNet.  His powerful new piece covers a major report from the prestigious BRENNAN CENTER of New York University, one of America’s leading authorities on our voting process.  Steve’s piece underscores the finding that the voting apparatus about to be used to decide who will be our next president is obsolete, falling apart and very easily hackable.  Brennan stops well short of issuing a meaningful warning about how the election could be stolen.

But we do not.  Steve is a strong source of expertise on this most important issue for American democracy, and we only begin to scratch the surface.
