I’m Eric Crossley and in this episode, we will look at the Dakota Access pipeline and the ongoing and often violent reaction of authorities to the protests from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. We will examine the extreme violence police have used against peaceful, unarmed protestors. Also, a deep look at the dangerous pick of Lt. General Michael Flynn to be Trump’s National Security Advisor. We also review the startling and very controversial choice of Senator Jeff Sessions (Alabama) to be our next Attorney General. And we give a big shout out to Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York and finally a small silver lining after a bad November. Please join us!
