Leslie is joined by Steve Sallman, Director of the United Steelworkers Health, Safety and Environment Department, where he's worked for over 19 years. The two discuss the urgent and timely topic of protecting workers from deadly heat. As the planet gets hotter, and wide swaths of the United States are seeing record temperatures, heat is becoming an ever more urgent workplace health and safety issue – in both in-door and out-door occupations. It’s no surprise that unions work to provide solutions. The USW works to negotiate common sense solutions into their contracts like rest breaks, ample supplies of water, electrolytes, and proper ventilation. UPS drivers made this a centerpiece of their recent contract negotiations too, signaling that this was so significant that they were willing to strike as necessary. They ultimately got what they needed, including fans and air conditioning in their trucks. However, all workers need protections, starting with a national standard on heat exposure like workers have

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by John Bennett, Editor-at-Large and Analysis Columnist for CQ Roll Call. The two will discuss the new wave of Trump indictments, the battle over the Defense Department, the House GOP's record thus far for 2023, and the politics of aiding Ukraine against Russian invaders. Then, Brad interviews Tara Devlin, a New York City based comedian, writer, and host of the unapologetically-liberal podcast "TARABUSTER." They chat about the culture wars over the Barbie movie, Jason Aldean's song "Try that in a Small Town," and the pro-slavery Florida Department of Education. John Bennett's Twitter handle is @BennettJohnT. Tara Devlin is a New York City based comedian, w

We’re watching Israel slip into a decidedly undemocratic authoritarian state as they abandon founding principles to take all political power and put it in the hands of an indicted-for-corruption “Crime Minister” and his bare-majority coalition of ultra-rightists and ultra-orthodox religionists. The fear here is that we are headed down that same path. Let’s take a moment to explore our potential future. I hope you’ll listen to this short essay.

Next time on State of Belief: Christian nationalism expert Dr. Andrew L. Whitehead is back. The title of his new book, due out later this month, is American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church. We’ll get into some of the ways he sees this movement, which poses a very serious threat to American democracy, being just as toxic to the ideals it purports to defend and represent – Christianity and organized religion. And I’ll ask him about some of the hopeful expressions of Christianity he offers in this book, stories describing a faithful way forward on this treacherous path.

Today's show is dedicated to Andrew Lee Howard. Happy Off-Earth birthday my love. 57 would have looked good on you. Bad Behavior The New Epidemic Plus Monday Motivation Karel Cast #237 There's a bigger epidemic than Covid and it's Bad Behavior. From riots in Central Park over PlayStations to freaking out on airplanes; from cops behaving terribly to politicians. Bad behavior is everywhere. But why now? That's simple. Then, are workers today spoiled, wanting more time off for living life instead of dedicating themselves to work ? And a trip to Desert Breeze park brings up the notion that school supplies should be free. And then Monday Motivation. An epiphany during Guardians of the Galaxy may help you realize you might be looking at yourself from the wrong viewpoint. Watch on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcast.

Trump Indicted Unprecedented? No; Red Wins, Pink Exodus? Taylor Postpone? Karel Cast #236 We keep hearing the news say that the prosecution of Donald Trump is unprecedented…no, it’s not. The DOJ, FBI and others prosecute criminals all the time. What’s unprecedented is the fact that the crimes were committed by a President. We need to get the dialogue right. Also, Taylor Swift is being asked to postpone her shows because of a hotel strike, should she? And, if Red Wins, should Pink Leave ? A new editorial makes a great point about a needed LGBTQ exodus.
