Podcast Description
Dylan Ratigan is mad as hell. Infuriated by government corruption and corporate communism, incensed by banksters shaking down taxpayers, and despairing of an ailing health care system, an age-old dependency on foreign oil, and a failing education system, Ratigan sees an America that has allowed itself to be swindled and robbed. In Greedy Bastards, his first book, he rips the lid off our deeply crooked system—and offers a way out. This country, now more than ever, needs passionate debate and smart policy, a brazen willingness to scrap what doesn’t work, and the entrepreneurial spirit to try what does. Ratigan has compiled brash and fresh solutions for building a new and better America, and with this book he has started the debate America deserves.

RFD #74: Stephen Leeb and the China-US War For Resources | Author Stephen Leeb says that we're in a "war to acquire resources, not just for the sake of depriving the rest of the world of these resources, but to have the resources that they need to build out a new energy infrastructure." With Washington stuck in neutral on any significant energy policy, how do we address this challenge? Dylan believes it's through "quantum growth" -- the principle by which significantly fewer resources can be used for significantly higher outputs. As resources (oil, water, and rare minerals) become more and more limited, challenges have to be solved efficiently with aligned interests -- getting more output for vastly less resource consumption. Dylan and author Stephen Leeb discuss how this applies to our "war" with China for rare minerals and development of a more sustainable, less oil-dependent energy policy. | 10/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

RFD #73: Prof. Bill Black and Occupiers Goldi & Calvin | A few weeks ago at Zuccotti Park in New York, Dylan had the chance to speak at length to two Occupiers who seemed to, on the surface, come from opposite ends of the spectrum: Goldi is an activist and a musician from the East Village, and Calvin is a recent NY'er who originally hails from the heart of Texas. Joining us in the conversation with the Professor today are two individuals who have taken it upon themselves, as literally millions around the world have, to declare their own grievances and their own rejection of the status quo systems by virtue of their participation in Occupy Wall Street, Occupy New York, and really, ultimately, their support for the Global Occupation Movement In this episode of Radio Free Dylan, Goldi and Calvin have a conversation about the big issues facing this country with Prof. Bill Black, Associate Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He is a white-collar criminologist, serial whistle-blower, and former financial regulator. He is also the author of the book, The Best Way To Rob a Bank Is To Own One.

Randi Rhodes Interview with Dylan | Randi & Dylan have both been focused on this subject for years now: how can we tackle so many of the smaller problems in politics if we don't get money out of politics first?

That's why you need to sign the petition for a constitutional amendment at GetMoneyOut.com Both Randi and Dylan have seen the corruption firsthand, from K Street in DC to Wall Street in New York. Ninety-four percent of the time, the winner in major U.S. Congressional elections is whomever has the MOST money in their campaign coffers - and THAT MUST STOP.

Says Tom, "Look, everything is for sale, that’s the logic of the new Congress there.Since the ‘90s, everything’s auctioned, and that’s what the bulk of the population doesn’t understand this. The insiders know it but everybody else is still in the dark.There was some columnist in [The New York Times] who an ex-Congressman about what was going wrong in Congress.And finally the guy mentions towards the end, 'Oh, yes, there’s this terrible money problem. 'You know, look, that’s the problem. You’re selling everything." Tom concludes with a statement that we couldn't agree with more -- "You probably can’t fix much in the United States if you’re going to allow the policy to just continue to be sold in every dimension."

RFD #69: Jimmy Williams on Money in Politics | Jimmy Williams, a frequent contributor on The Dylan Ratigan Show, sits down with Dylan to talk about the launch of our effort to get money out of politics as the first step to reviving and taking back America. As Dylan described it on The Huffington Post, "Every politician out there is going to rail against special interests, except, ironically, the ones who are honest about working in a corrupt system. It's up to us, to we the people, to claim this government as ours. It's not going to happen because we placed our trust in a class of people who repeatedly betray us. It's going to happen because of people who put their bodies on the line, like those at the Wall Street protests. Like them or not, they have decided that enough is enough. And I think I've decided the same." | 9/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

RFD #68: Sen. Tom Coburn | Is anyone in government willing to observe the scale, magnitude, and nature of the challenges that America faces? It seems like we’re stuck with elected officials playing a short-term game while being blind to the long term effects of their decisions. Meanwhile, our government puts the sovereignty of our nation at risk by not dealing with our debt issues and trade imbalances. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), a physician prior to his work in government, says on Radio Free Dylan that he is concerned that the lack of effective decision-making in Washington — specifically related to our debt and economy — could lead to us giving up some of our sovereignty to other countries. He says an adult discussion in America about the seriousness and severity of our economic problems (rather than Democrat vs. Republican mudslinging) is the first step. | 9/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

It sounds like Canada has a pretty good handle on this problem. I think the most effective way to differentiate between candidates is head to head debates which cost the candidates almost nothing compared to endless TV ads. - Don W. | 8/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CHUCK, PLEASANT HILLS, PA Dylan, Caught your call-in to your own show today. When the host asked, “what can you suggest people do if they’re mad as hell?" you said they can call their Congressman or Senator, or they can learn more about this situation in regards to tax reform, debt, etc.Sorry to be cynical, but the only phone call that a Senator or Congressman cares about is a call from their campaign contributors.It does NOTHING anymore to lodge a complaint with your representative.And, educating the public about policy and money is fine, but there is nothing actionable that will result from that.People feel powerless these days because there is NOTHING they can do as individuals when they’re "mad as hell." | 8/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Both my cousin, brother-in-law and I agree the system is structurally flawed due to corruption via money in politics.

JOE, AUSTIN TX Only a couple of times have I been angry enough to write someone in the media about an outrageous situation. I was a child's birthday party yesterday and one of the parents works in marketing for AT&T. He told me that they just opened a call center in Columbia (and another Latin American country) to handle calls FROM THE USA. Everyone is talking about "jobs, jobs, jobs" and these guys have the nerve to open a call center in Latin America when our unemployment rate is as high as it is? I own a call center in this country and just knowing that companies like AT&T still off-shore work that can be performed in the USA really makes me upset. We can compete financially with off-shore companies but these people just don't get it and I really wonder if anyone really cares or just gives lip service to the issue because they think they should. | 8/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ron Paul, it’s a definition of a movement. The doctor from Texas attracts a tremendous, highly engaged and often passionate following, but there are many who find that they have a hard time figuring out where he fits into the current “status quo” political debate.

The Middle East in a state that virtually no other person either in those countries or outside of them can truly anticipate what will happen but for in the broadest terms, which is that the winds of change are clearly blowing, and what was is unlikely to continue to be, but what will be we do not know. But it has all sorts of things going on right now from oil to corn. The food and energy supplies of the world are influenced greatly, at least in the short term, by how this happens almost regardless of what happens.

RFD #48: The War Nerd Gary Brecher | Self-described war nerd Gary Brecher knows he’s not alone. He knows there's a community of large, lonely, mostly basement-dwelling Americans, most of whom are stuck in thankless, TPS-report producing desk jockey jobs, who enjoy reading about war because of their deep dissatisfaction with their own lives. He has been described this way: "Part war commentator, part angry humorist àla Bill Hicks, Brecher inveighs against pieties of all stripes — Liberian generals, Dick Cheney, U.N. peacekeepers, the neo-cons — and the massive incompetence of military powers. A provocative free thinker, he finds much to admire in the most unlikely places, and not always for the most pacifistic reasons: the Tamil Tigers, the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Danes of 1,000 years ago, and so on, across the globe and through the centuries. Crude, scatological, un-P.C., yet deeply informed, Brecher provides a radically different, completely unvarnished perspective on the nature of warfare." | 6/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
