2 THURSDAY
4:00pm My Word  Now known all over the English-speaking world, My Word! has been variously described as "...a witty enquiry into the language", "...a literary riot", "...a mixture of erudition and fun", "...a feast of ingenuity and wit", and "...a provocative play on words."

On the Left, Robert Scheer (Editor-in-Chief, TruthDig-dot-com).  Vin Weber (Former GOP Congressman, Managing Partner at Mercury/Clark and Weinstock) is on the Right.  Much of the intelligence on the chemical weapons used in Syria comes from Israel. Does that somehow taint the intelligence? Meanwhile Russia is at odds with the U.S. over Syria. Why can’t Obama make headway with the Putin administration? And what happened to the “reset” with U.S.-Russian relations? Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio wants immigration reform, and so does President Obama. So what will it take to get immigration reform passed? And has the national GOP ceded the Latino vote for a generation by inaction? Good job numbers out Friday show growth for the U.S. economy. But there are some soft spots in the report, including the number of Americans that have given up on searching for work. Personal savings rates are also very low. The panel talks about whether the country has two economies (one for the rich and one for everybody else). A gun bill didn’t get passed. Immigration is stalled. Maureen Down and Charles Krauthammer are hashtagging that a FAIL. Has Obama already blown his post-election power?

Also, the right has managed to manufacture a controversy over something they call an "Obama Phone." The story is basically bogus, but it's having real world effects nonetheless. We'll talk to Jamilah King from Colorlines about that.|

9 THURSDAY
4:00pm My Word  Now known all over the English-speaking world, My Word! has been variously described as "...a witty enquiry into the language", "...a literary riot", "...a mixture of erudition and fun", "...a feast of ingenuity and wit", and "...a provocative play on words."

6:30pm Left, Right & Center  Matt Miller (Washington Post) moderates from the Center. On the Left, Robert Scheer (Editor-in-Chief, TruthDig-dot-com). Byron York (Washington Examiner) brings the conservative view. We, and Congress, examine the Benghazi attack and immigration policy, among a litany of topics. The Benghazi testimony was notably devoid of grandstanding and focussed on whether the administration tried to cover up whether the assault was terrorism. The immigration debate rages, and zeroes in on border security and a legalization process. Should the FBI have shared Russia's intelligence on the Tsarnaev brothers with Boston officials? It's looking like we will hit the debt ceiling in October instead of May. It's good news for the short term. Rave reviews for City College and access to quality education. The IRS confirms that conservative groups have been inappropriately targeted by the IRS. And finally, feeling wistful about the Great Gatsby and seeing movies first.

6:30pm CounterSpin  When the White House announced in late April that it suspected the Syrian government of using Sarin nerve gas, those suspicions quickly became facts in many corporate media. When on-the-ground reporting emerged casting doubt that Sarin had been used in Syria at all, the stories were largely ignored. We'll discuss rumors of weapons of mass destruction and unlearned media lessons, with our own Peter Hart. Also, U.S. media were outraged at the news that Afghan president Hamid Karzai receives cash payments from the CIA. Much of the outrage was directed at Karzai, strangely, though the CIA came in for criticism too. But our guest suggests that brouhaha serves mainly to divert the public from the far bigger and still untold story of the corrupting influence the U.S. mission is having in Afghanistan. We'll talk about that with playwright, journalist and author, Dilip Hiro.

On the Left, Robert Scheer (Editor-in-Chief, TruthDig-dot-com).  Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right.  The White House hits the trifecta for scandal this week. Will the administration be distracted and ineffective from here on out? The head of the IRS apologizes and claims there was no political motivation behind its treatment of conservative groups. Is it a benign symbol of an unwieldy, too-big government, or a terrifying reminder of the Nixon years? The Justice Department seizes Associated Press phone records. Should we be worried about our free press and First Amendment rights? Or is the media just reacting when it hits close to home. The White House releases emails about Benghazi and hopes to quiet the outrage. Is hope for a productive second term over for the Obama administration?

10:00am Krista Tippett On Being  Remembering God  Christian Wiman is a writer who has come to give voice, to his own surprise, to the hunger for faith and the challenge of faith for people now. He was 37 when he became editor of Poetry magazine a decade ago. This summer, he will step down as editor to join the Yale Institute of Sacred Music as a Senior Lecturer in Religion and Literature. His Texas upbringing was soaked in both a history of violence and a charismatic Christian culture. He wasn't formally religious for years after he left home, lived all over the world, and became a poet. In his late 30s, he married the love of his life, found God again, and was diagnosed with an incurable, unpredictable cancer. So Christian Wiman is more aware of his mortality than most of us. And he's bearing a kind of poetic witness to something new happening in himself and in the world.
