Mike Gravel is one of my heroes, a former Senator from Alaska, and a presidential candidate in 2008 and for the 2020 election.
He’s my hero because he had the courage to release Daniel Ellsberg’s pentagon papers

Senator Gravel, the first time we met was at a Washington conference for progressives, and then I met you again when you were excluded from a primary debate in Philly in 2008. It’s great to have you back on the show.

Tell me what you would have added to the Democratic debate you were excluded from.

You refer to republican socialism. Let’s talk about that.

Gravalanche—what is it? Who are the guys working your twitter feed. Tell us about that.
