About this episode

Jared Yates Sexton and Danielle Moodie discuss the implications of the war with Iran and the self-destructive ideologies of white supremacy and American Exceptionalism.

Man alive. I needed this conversation with Danielle Moodie on the latest episode of The Check-In . Today we wrestled with the very real possibility that the war with Iran has brought us to a real fuck-around-and-find-out moment that could be the reckoning the American Empire was always going to reach. We discuss how white supremacy and American Exceptionalism have always been self-destructive ideologies that would bring us to ruin and how Trump and the fascists are the full realization of that fact which has haunted us since our founding.
