The TPP 'Conspiracy'/ WH Correspondents Dinner/ Rutgers Rejects Condi Rice and More
On this episode of Breaking The Set BTS Producer Manuel Rapalo discusses President Obamas newest comments on the massive 12-country free trade deal known as the Trans Pacific Partnership, in which he lumped in critics of the secret trade negotiations with conspiracy theorists.
Manny then speaks with Rutgers University professor Deepa Kumar about former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rices decision to pull out as keynote speaker at the schools commencement ceremony after faculty and students staged sit-ins and protests against her selection.
Manny then talks about the White House Correspondents Dinner and why host Joel McHales most hard hitting jokes were not received well by establishment journalists, as well as how the event distracts from the fact that companies are divesting from private prisons, marking a positive development in the fight to shut down the five-billion-dollar-a-year industry.
BTS wraps up the show with an interview with hip hop artist about the Obama presidency, his activism and the state of modern hip hop.\
