‘Left, Right & Center’: Farm, Immigration Bills and Obama Goes Abroad
Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other "Left, Right & Center" panelists discuss Congress' failure on the farm bill and the latest amendment to the immigration reform legislation. They also take a look at news involving the Federal Reserve and President Obama's trip to Europe.This week on KCRW’s “Left, Right and Center”: The House votes down the farm bill and looks longingly toward immigration legislation, but will that “border surge” measure be more successful? Has Congress lost sight of Good Samaritan laws? Plus, anxiety over a Federal Reserve pullback.
President Obama travels to Europe and joins other G-8 leaders in isolating Russia’s Vladimir Putin for his position on Syria.
Also on this week’s show, the panelists discuss the deaths of two stars — journalist Michael Hastings and actor James Gandolfini. And finally, a rant in favor of saving “Chain Reaction,” the anti-nuclear weapons sculpture by the late Paul Conrad.
Scheer is joined by host Matt Miller and Washington Free Beacon Editor-in-Chief Matthew Continetti, who gives the perspective from the right.
