In the second segment, Sean is joined by Sputnik News analyst Morgan Artyukhina to discuss the Department of Justice’s seizure of the websites of major Iranian news outlets such as Press TV, the bizarre legal rationale used to justify the censorship, and the implications for America’s much vaunted free speech protections.

Later in the show, Sean is joined by Jihad Abdulmumit, National Chair of the National Jericho Movement

to discuss the death of MOVE family member Consuewella Africa, the failure of the Democratic Party to pass legislation protecting the voting rights of the most vulnerable, and why the US government cracked down on last summer’s wave of protests whether they were peaceful or not.
