The Friday News Dump | 9-6-2021 (1st Hour)

Rick opens the show with a rundown of recent news stories and commentary on some of the more ridiculous bits of right-wing fear candy. Then professor Matias Vernengo joins us to discuss the new jobs numbers and what we need to do to improve them. We close the first hour with Sam Fleischman of The Nation for a discussion about the 100th anniversary of one of the pivotal moments in Labor History - The Battle of Blair Mountain.
