With the UAW backing Abdul El-Sayed, former union leader Frank Hammer joins Sharmini Peries to examine how Citizens United transformed campaign financing—and whether organized labour can challenge the billionaires and reclaim working-class political power.

What connects the unanswered questions about 9/11, the January 6 coup attempt, and the concentration of wealth and power in America?

Paul Jay of theAnalysis.news joins Patrick Lovell to discuss his interviews with former Senate Intelligence Committee chair Bob Graham and NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, the warnings surrounding January 6, and why major news organizations and congressional investigations leave critical questions unexplored.

Jay distinguishes between documented events, accounts provided by his interview subjects, and his own conclusions. He argues that understanding these crises requires looking beyond individual wrongdoing to the economic structures that protect powerful interests.

The conversation concludes with nuclear weapons, climate change, and artificial intelligence—and the urgent need for democratic control, public ownership, and immediate measures to reduce the threats to human survival.

Recorded September 29, 2026.

Lloyd Axworthy helped build the International Criminal Court from the ground up. Now US Secretary of State Marco Rubio vows to dismantle the court \"brick by brick\" and is sanctioning its judges and officials. In this conversation with Barry and Globe and Mail columnist Doug Saunders, Axworthy calls it exactly what it looks like: an effort to make the world safe for war criminals. He questions why Canada has gone silent on a court it helped create. They debate what it would actually take — coalitions of willing states, not Washington — to keep international justice alive.
