Lady Liberty took a stand last night, going dark for a couple of hours. The National Park Service claims it was a power outage, but the symbolism on the eve of a Day Without Women was just too perfect. We opened the lines and asked you about International Women’s Day. Are you taking a stand? Calling out of work? Wearing red? What does today mean to you?

Boston Globe editor Brian McGrory joined us to discuss the latest news headlines.

‘Security Mom’ Juliette Kayyem joined us to talk Wikileaks, Trump’s new travel ban 2.0, and the TSA’s PDA (Public Displays of Aggression) as they amp up their new pat-downs.

Congressman Bill Keating is a senior member on and the Homeland Security Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he’s a  Ranking Member on the Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade Subcommittee. He joined us for his take on the new travel ban, North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, and the GOP’s health bill.

Michael Flaherty, who as co-founder of Walden Media, gave us  films such as The Giver, Holes, Chronicles of Narnia, Waiting for Superman, and on and on, is the CEO of a new enterprise, Epiphany Story Lab, which is committed to teaching kids about storytelling and filmmaking.

Senator Elizabeth Warren joined to celebrate International Women’s Day. She discussed her concerns with the GOP’s new health care bill and the ways it could impact Massachusetts residents, and checked in with us on her take on the investigation into Trump’s possible ties to Russia.

And the american people, according to a recent Pew Survey, only 2 out of 10 trust news organizations. And this lack of confidence extends to our government and to our own communities. Is this symptomatic of 21st century living? Or have  we been here before during the Vietnam war? Or the Depression? Harvard Historian Nancy Koehn is the James E. Robison Chair of Business Administration. She put it all into a historical context.
