Five Years After Charlottesville

Five years ago, a white nationalist rally known as the Unite the Right rally was held in Charlottesville, Virginia. Video from the event shows Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists marching through the streets chanting "Jews will not replace us." Demonstrators later clashed with counter-protestors – and the event turned deadly. Anti-racist activists say that the far right was emboldened by Charlottesville, and while there was some progress made against white supremacy since then, there is much work still to be done.see more

Joe Cotchett has made a name for himself winning jury verdicts in the millions - sometimes billions - of dollars against Wall Street, big banks and other corporations that have harmed the public. He took on PG&E after the deadly San Bruno explosion, Wells Fargo for its fake accounts and Lincoln Savings & Loan for swindling investors. Cotchett was also reported to have been on Gov. Jerry Brown's short list to replace Kamala Harris as California Attorney General. The Burlingame attorney, whose star power brings Nancy Pelosi and Willie Brown to his birthday parties, joins us to talk about his career and his new book "The People vs. Greed."

Guests:

Joe Cotchett, attorney; author, "The People vs. Greed: Stealing America, Main St. vs. Wall Street"
