In a thought-provoking dialogue, Dr. Stein underscores the urgency of establishing an economic bill of rights and implementing progressive taxation policies to address income inequality.  Emphasizing the pivotal role of third parties and the preservation of voting rights, she urges voters to consider alternatives beyond the Democratic and Republican duopoly, asserting that votes ultimately belong to the electorate. Throughout the conversation, critical issues such as financial deregulation, erosion of civil liberties, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza are explored. Dr. Stein sheds light on the historical context of the Israel-Palestine conflict while condemning the violation of international law through acts of genocide. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the importance of upholding free speech amid growing censorship concerns, as Dr. Stein condemns the Democratic Party's role in stifling dissent.  The episode concludes with actionable takeaways, including calls for the release of political prisoners like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

Are you going through life blind? This is Eyes Wide Open with Nick Thompson. On this show, we share knowledge and stories that build human connection while elevating stigmatized societal issues, including mental health, holistic wellness, culture, free speech, and more, all to ensure we show up in the world with our Eyes Wide Open. You may know Nick Thompson from his appearance on season two of Netflix’s hit reality show Love is Blind, but there’s a side of him you may not know: The Storyteller. Nick firmly believes that everyone has a story to tell, and is building a forum for people to share theirs openly and honestly. Nick doesn’t shy away from the hardball questions but facilitates a space where even people who disagree are comfortable sharing and learning from each other. Don't go through life blind.
