1) Mel Goodman, a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, author and former CIA analyst, discusses the issues examined in his recent article "Has the Putin-Prigozhin Confrontation Opened a Door for Negotiation?" analysis that flies in the face of most conventional wisdom in Washington regarding recommendations to escalate the war in Ukraine to exploit Putin's and Russia's current instability and weakness after the Wagner Group's leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, led a brief rebellion.

2) Risa Lieberwitz, General Counsel with the American Association of University Professors and Professor of Labor and Employment Law at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations assesses the US Supreme Court ruling that ended affirmative action in college admissions across the U.S. -- and how universities across the country may respond to honor their commitment to racial diversity.

3) Ahmed White, Professor of Law at the University of Colorado, Boulder talks about his new book, "Under the Iron Heel The Wobblies and the Capitalist War on Radical Workers," a dramatic, deeply researched account of how legal repression and vigilantism brought down the Wobblies — and how the destruction of their union haunts us to this day.

4) Kristin McGuire, Executive Director of the group Young Invincibles, discusses the Supreme Court ruling blocking President Biden’s student debt relief plan -- and their group's position on how President Biden should respond to this setback for some 43 million Americans dealing with unsustainable student debt.
