The People Speak, October 14, 2014
CAREY WEDLER - YouTube filmmaker, blogger, activist returns to speak about her latest video "How I Became a 'Self-Hating Jew'", explaining what it means to be brought up Jewish in America and realizing that what she had been taught regarding the Israel/Palestine issue was a lie, and the resulting reactions from family, friends and others to her realization.
Guest, Carey Wedler
CAREY WEDLER is the girl whose Youtube video went viral with near a million hits in a week's time.
Her video WATCH IT NOW shows her torching her Obama Shirt and ennumerating many reasons why she feels Obama betrayed her and millions of Americans who voted for him. Please also see Carey's latest video: How I became a "self-hating Jew" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLDE4mRwfSQ
As you can see by the bio below, Carey is more than just a pretty face:
CAREY WEDLER is a political activist, writer, and blogger born and raised in Los Angeles. After several misadventures in Hollywood and the film industry, she began writing a book about the inanity of the media, celebrity culture the effects both have on young girls and women. In the process, she became an active libertarian, raising awareness about government violence, corruption, collusion with corporations,and intrusion into the lives of individuals all over the world.
To combat these ills, she promotes peace,non-violence, voluntary interaction and love for all of humanity (she's also a yoga teacher-in-training). Her book will be released later this year as she continues to produce Youtube videos, blogs, and popular enthusiasm to stand up to egregious, shameless violations of human rights.
The People Speak
The People Speak has evolved over the years with many great guests who have been interviewed by some very fine hosts.
We are a 55 minute show airing every other Sunday between 5-6pm Pacific/8-9pm Eastern. The show features a guest interview from any number of realms of interest (entertainment, science, philosophy, healing, spirituality, activism, politics, literature, etc.).
The guests share their stories, lives, strategies, books, philosophy, films, music, or whatever it is they use as a vehicle for making a difference for the better.
The radio show name, The People Speak, is based on the idea of allowing our audience - the People - a chance to interact with the guests during the hour, and we take phone or text questions from them during the interview.
Past guests include such notables as Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the late Howard Zinn, Nobel Laureates Mairead Maguire, Shirin Ebadi, Kathryn Najimy, Oliver Stone, Jesse Ventura, Richard Belzer, Cynthia McKinney, Cindy Sheehan, Scott Horton, Joan Jett, Willie Nelson, George Galloway, Roseanne Barr, Ed Asner, Chevy Chase, as well as various reps from Amnesty International, UN World Food Programme, and many others.
