Pulitzer Prize Winning Author Anne Applebaum on Autocracies and Comedian Trae Crowder on JD Vance (Al Franken podcast)

We talk to The Liberal Redneck, comedian Trae Crowder, about JD Vance and his “Hillbilly” roots.

Our friend Anne Applebaum has written a new book called Autocracy Inc. She chronicles the rise of authoritarianism around the world and how those autocracies work together to keep themselves in power. 

With Donald Trump running for President of the United States, could we be heading for a similar fate? 

We’ve seen other countries thwart autocracies in recent weeks. Is America ready to do the same? 

Plus, Donald Trump has one of the most disliked VP candidates in history.
