Hosted by Amy Peikoff.   In the first hour of today's show, we'll discuss several stories of the week, including:   Christine Lagarde (the managing director of the IMF) said this week that "climate change will drive job creation." We'll talk about how wrong this is and you'll wonder why they ever put this woman in charge of the IMF.   Obama is pretending like it's not that important to him to extradite Edward Snowden. In the meantime The Guardian UK is busy releasing more details about our government's massive surveillance programs, details we know thanks to Snowden.   The Supreme Court's rulings this Wednesday: exactly how are they favorable to gay marriage, and a discussion of the gay marriage issue in general.   Plus more if there's time, but the second hour is reserved for a massive, super-spoiler-filled discussion of MAN OF STEEL :)
