About this episode

The episode discusses Trump's policies and features an interview with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi about his book on authoritarianism.

Today, Trump's war of choice in Iran continues as the cost of living here in America continues to rise. We talk about how you can help highlight his deeply unpopular policies and fight back against this regime’s fascist and failing efforts to subvert our democracy. Then Steve has a powerful conversation about “great replacement theory” with educator and author of the new book, “Chain of Ideas - The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age,” Dr. Ibram X. Kendi.
