This week, we'll catch up with Rebecca Schoenkopf, the editrix of Wonkette. Rebecca recently had an epic midlife crisis, and she also watched the State of the Union speech.
Then we discuss the intrigue surrounding Bibi Nentanyahu's "breach of protocol" with Josh Ruebner from the US Campaign to end the Israeli Occupation.
Finally, we'll be joined by RH Reality Check Executive Editor Jodi Jacobson to talk about the GOP's new challenge to Roe v. Wade -- and why anti-choicers can't win an honest argument about abortion rights in America.
We have a musical theme this week: Quirky covers.

We begin this week's show with a gripe about the media accepting the narrative that the Paris attacks were intended to silence free speech. One has to believe that international terror organizations are run by people who have no clue about Western political culture to buy that claim.
Then we'll speak with Mike Tomasky of The Daily Beast about the race for 2016, and a few other items in the news.
Finally, we'll be joined by Stuart Smith, author of Crude Justice: How I Fought Big Oil and Won, and What You Should Know About the New Environmental Attack on America, to talk about his epic legal battles with the oil industry in Louisiana.
