In the midst of an economic downturn, we speak with Ronnie Lott and Daniel Lurie of Tipping Point Community about the increasing number of Bay Area residents living in poverty — and what is being done to help. Tipping Point allocates millions of dollars annually to community organizations, and has gained national attention for its innovative grant-making techniques. In the second half hour, we talk with two comedians who believe that using humor can help change people’s minds about the Middle East conflict and bring Palestinians and Israelis together.

Guests:

Daniel Lurie, president and founder of Tipping Point Community (first half hour)

Ronnie Lott, board member of Tipping Point Community, former cornerback and safety for the San Francisco 49ers and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (first half hour)

Ray Hanania, Palestinian-American stand-up comedian and award-winning columnist (second half hour)

Aaron Freeman, Jewish-American comedian, popular columnist and radio commentator (second half hour)
