Callie is back from surgery and fought through the pain to be with us today! That's how much she loves y'all!
We talk to Matt Hildreth, Executive Director of Rural Organizing (RuralOrganizing.org) to discuss the progressive road map to rebuild a rural America that is empowered, thriving, and equitable. RuralOrganizing.org is committed to pursuing creativity, equity, and justice at all organizational levels and throughout all programs.
Plus, we talk about Kirk Cameron's library hissy fit in Tennessee that led to a library director getting canned, teeing us up for our list of 5 wildly unhinged things the Left Behind star has done/said
AND! We give an impassioned rant about the absurd notion presented by Ben Shapiro that school lunches don't have any meaningful impact on solving child hunger (spoiler: he is woefully incorrect).
