What's this?

12:06Maryland's Fiscal Future

Peter Franchot took over as Maryland's top tax collector to much fanfare. He ousted a legendary political figure, and set out an ambitious agenda to shape the future of Maryland. Join Kojo as we discuss Franchot's ideas to make a wider impact on the state.

Guests

Peter Franchot, Maryland State Comptroller; Former Maryland State Delegate (D-Dist. 20)

12:32An Optimist's Story of Palestine

Sari Nusseibeh is often called "an Arab Aristocrat" and "Palestinian Nobility." But this philosophy scholar and former representative for the Palestinian Liberation Organization is much more than his impressive lineage. Nusseibeh talks to Kojo about his upbringing, his work as president of Jerusalem's only Arab University, and his dedication to helping find a non-violent solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Guests

Sari Nusseibeh, President and Professor of Philosophy, Al-Quds University; author of Once Upon A Country: A Palestinian Life

13:06Your Turn

Make your predictions about the ultimate fate of the French, Nigerian, or American elections. Or weigh in on the future of World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz or Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Or share whatever's on your mind, when you set the agenda.
