Loud & Clear

Then, the hosts are joined by Vijay Prashad, an author and professor of international studies.In our first hour, we discuss two big issues.

And then, we discuss the referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan that has upended the geopolitics of the Middle East. As Turkey and Iraq hold joint military exercises, how far could the conflict spiral?Could Alabama be on the verge of electing the most far right Senator in the country?
