Fault Lines

What Are the Guiding Principles of the "New" Democratic Party?

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Lee Stranahan and Garland Nixon discuss recent comments made by Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder about civility and the state of US politics. Michelle Obama said that when Republicans "Go Low," Democrats should "Go High." Does this still hold true, or is the time for playing nice over?

Many people are fearful to experiment with "fasting" for extended periods of time despite some of its potential health benefits. Internal Medicine Physician Dr. Bosworth returns to the show to discuss fasting and the internal body mechanism known as "Autophagy" which Japanese researcher Yoshinori Ohsumi won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the subject.

Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison has been accused of a pattern of abusive behavior by former girlfriend Karen Monahan. Andrew Parker, the lawyer representing Monahan, joins Fault Lines to detail Monahan's allegations and how her story has been received by both the mainstream media and Democratic Party leadership in the age of the #MeToo Movement.

Were there clear market fundamentals that indicated that this downturn was coming, and what is next on the horizon for trading markets and the US economy?
