Raytheon, one of the largest arms producers in the world, is building a massive building to produce F-35 jet engines in Asheville, North Carolina despite the public outrage against it. Under the subsidiary, Pratt &  Whitney, the local political leaders and Raytheon made a backroom deal of approval, using (stealing) $26 million of taxpayer dollars as a welcoming gift.

Two organizers from Reject Raytheon in Asheville, Jenny and Ken, join TPR to discuss the issue around this new project and the resistance against it.
