Jamelle Bouie – Columnist for the New York Times (Al Franken podcast)

With so much happening on the campaign trail, we turn to Jamelle Bouie for his first visit to the podcast. 

We discuss Donald Trump and JD Vance’s attacks on the truth with their harmful comments on Haitian immigrants and their lies about abortion. 

We look at different Senate races around the country and what they could mean for the next President. 

And we get into Project 2025 and examine just how far Republicans are willing to let Trump go should he become President again. 

Spoiler alert: it would be terrifying!

Weekly Roundup: The American Right Goes Full Nazi (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Brad says:

"In this weekly roundup, I dive into the disturbing trend of dehumanizing rhetoric by political and religious leaders. From J.D. Vance’s false accusations about Haitian migrants to Mark Robinson’s shocking past statements identifying as a Nazi, we’re witnessing the mainstreaming of harmful ideologies. I unpack how these comments aren’t just isolated incidents—they’re part of a broader movement where Christian nationalists are pushing white nationalist propaganda. 

I also share details on an exciting upcoming live event at USC, where experts will discuss the vital topic of church and state separation. This episode draws attention to the chilling parallels between today’s political discourse and tactics used by fascist regimes, underscoring why it’s critical to remain vigilant and mobilize our communities."
