British journalist Lauren Pyrah tells us what it's like at this exciting time in London, England, and NYC triathlon winner of her division, Chantal Shea explores the mindset of the Olympians, drawing on her own experience as a champion to let us know what it's like competing at that level.  We compare this festive scene to Allepo Syria when historian and political activist Louis Fishman joins us from Istanbul, Turkey to discuss the crisis in Syria and the Turkish-Israeli-Palestinian perspectives.

Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue

Sara Cross

Join Sex and Politics as we explore the efficacy of dog-saves.  Does it really make sense to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on saving a few stray dogs, when people across the U.S. are jobless, homeless, and can't afford health care?  Sara Cross, founder of the Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue, has more than a few things to say about this.  Whether you love dogs or hate 'em, this is an interesting commentary on the social fabric and values of America.
