Nomiki Konst on Labour’s People’s Momentum, Natalie Shure on #MedicareForAll, West Virginia Teacher’s Strike, North Korea Negotiations and more. Rundown of Tonight’s The Michael Brooks Show.

Wanted to give a little plug for the other show I produce The Michael Brooks Show that airs on the Majority Report w/Sam Seder network every Tuesday at 7PM.  Really excited about tonight's show and I recommend you check it out. Here's a rundown and background on some of the topics to be covered on tonight's show. 

Activist and writer Natalie Shure will be talking about #MedicareForAll and the Democrats.  In addition to being a great writer she is  a story producer for Adam Ruins Everything on TruTV and contributes to the new hilarious sketch show Happy Endings with Nando Vila.

Here's a hilarious clip from Happy Endings that sums up some of the problems corporate Dems like Joe Kennedy have with Medicare for All.

Nomiki Konst of The Young Turks and the Democratic Unity Reform Commission on the lessons the Democrats can learn from Labour's  People's Momentum.

What is People's Momentum?

Momentum is a grassroots campaigning network of over 31,000 members, 200,000 supporters and 170 local groups that evolved out of Jeremy Corbyn’s 2015 election campaign. Momentum is mobilising the mass campaigning movement that we need to get Labour into government.

Essentially People's Momentum is doing much of what organizations like Our Revolution are doing in the US. They are trying to push progressive left policies in the party, push candidates who support those policies and keep party leaders accountable to people not corporate interests.

There is a lot to learn from their tactics given they are dramatically changing the political landscape in the UK. Tune in to the episode to learn more about how that can be done in the United States. 

Here is Nomiki's fantastic interview with Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn on TYT Politics:

Nomiki was also a Bernie Sander's appointee to the Democratic Unity Reform Commission  where she made waves with her famous take down the failure of the Democrats to present a budget and keep account of their spending on expensive lobbyists:
