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…

As political columnist Molly Ivins said, ‘If Will Rogers and Mother Jones had a baby, Jim Hightower would be that rambunctious child — mad as hell, with a sense of humor."
