Counterpoint, hosted by Scott Harris, is heard every Monday night on WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT between 8:00 – 9:30 pm ET. Webstreaming and audio archive at http://wpkn.org

1) Robert Borosage, a leading progressive writer, activist, and co-founder of a range of progressive organizations including the Campaign for America’s Future, ProgressiveMajority, and ProgressiveCongress.org. A former director of the Institute for Policy Studies for nearly a decade, he'll discus his recent Nation magazine article, "Why Trump’s Second Victory Would Be Worse," and issues related to this November's presidential election.

2) John Bonifaz, a constitutional attorney and the Co-Founder and President of the group Free Speech For People. Mr. Bonifaz, who previously served as the executive director and general counsel of the National Voting Rights Institute, will discuss the group's SCOTUS Reform Now campaign, focusing on the issues of corruption and the absence of an effective ethics code for the nation's highest court -- as well as recent issues involving Justice Alito: including a recorded conversation exposing his extremist views on the culture war between liberals and conservatives, and revelations that two flags linked with far right insurrectionists were flown at Alito's two homes.

3) Catherine Cartier, an MA candidate in Global Journalism & Near Eastern Studies at New York University, who has used public records in Arabic and English to investigate financial networks in conflict zones. She'll discuss the important issues investigated in her recent Intercept article, "Israel's New Air War in the West Bank: Nearly Half of the Dead are Children - Nearly 20 years after the Second Intifada, the Israeli military has resumed airstrikes in the West Bank — and killed 24 children."

4) Po Murray, co-founder and chair of Newtown Action Alliance discusses the deadly consequences of the U.S. Supreme Court decision to strike down a Trump-era ban on bump stocks that effectively transforms a semi automatic rifle into a machine gun, which were banned for sale in the U.S. in 1934. Murray will also reflect on the frustratingly slow progress on legislating gun safety regulations, and the sad graduation of Newtown High School seniors remembering their twenty classmates, and six staff members who were killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
