Counterpoint, hosted by Scott Harris, is heard every Monday night on WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT between 8:00 – 9:30 pm ET. Webstreaming and audio archive at http://wpkn.org

1) Jon Rainwater, Executive Director of Peace Action and the Peace Action Education Fund, talks about Russia's Ukraine invasion, the threat of nuclear weapons being used in the conflict, and the urgent need for Washington and Moscow to negotiate abrogated and expired nuclear arms control agreements.

2) John Bonifaz, Co-Founder and President of Free Speech For People, examines the importance of revelations re: Ginny Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, collusion with Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows on support for overturning the results of the 2020 election -- and calls for Justice Thomas to be impeached for his clear violation of ethical standards, or at the very least recuse himself from all future cases involving Trump's coup attempt.

3) William Rice, a consultant with the group Americans for Tax Fairness, discusses President Biden's proposal for a billionaires income tax to help fund next year's federal budget, as well as policy proposals to ensure America's wealthiest individuals and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.

4) Jordan Zakarin, reporter and media producer with the labor news website More Perfect Union, discusses his coverage of the Amazon warehouse union election win on Staten Island, NY -- and the wider significance of this and other recent labor union workplace victories.

"The child care system is broken. It’s unaffordable for many families but pays so appallingly little to day care teachers that thousands upon thousands have left the field. ... Costs have risen more than 40 percent for child care centers, and across the country the average rose from about $10,000 for one child to about $14,000 per year." — Deborah Weinstein, Coalition on Human Needs
