The weekly netcast for
stand up Democrats


Listen to this week's guests

In-depth discussions with the nations top progressive commentators each week.

Each show features a common sense commentary from
Texan populist Jim Hightower.

Jim Hightower has spent three decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be – consumers, working families, environmentalists, small businesses, and just-plain-folks.

Twice elected Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Hightower believes that the true political spectrum is not right to left but top to bottom, and he has become a leading national voice for the 80 percent of the public who no longer find themselves within shouting distance of the Washington and Wall Street powers at the top…
