CounterPunch Radio (Ep. 29) – Pascal Robert

Click here to listen to CounterPunch Radio (Ep. 29) – Pascal Robert 

This week Eric sits down with political analyst and writer Pascal Robert to discuss author Ta-Nehisi Coates’ recent attacks on Bernie Sanders and what they tell us both about Coates and the presidential election. Eric and Pascal discuss the issues of race and class, and why interrogating those issues is critical to examining Coates’ recent writings, as well his individual social position in relation to the power structure. The second half of the show is an in depth dialogue about a variety of issues related to the 2016 campaign including whether Bernie Sanders actually has a chance to win, the outcome the political and financial establishment are pushing for, Hillary’s scandal-plagued campaign, and any potential unexpected developments between now and primary season. All this and much more on CounterPunch Radio this week.
Intro and outtro: David Vest – “Freight Train Rollin'”
Interlude: Marcel Cartier – “I’m a Socialist”
