Trump's Corruption Carnival: A $1.8 Billion Insult to Democracy

Trump's Corruption Carnival: A $1.8 Billion Insult to Democracy

Joe Sudbay guest hosts for John. He talks about the news surrounding the $1.776 billion settlement Trump wants to give to those involved in the January 6th insurrection. This settlement raises significant questions about the integrity of our democracy and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect their interests. He explores the motivations behind this decision and the potential ramifications for future elections. Additionally, he touches on the broader context of political corruption, particularly within the Republican Party. With figures like Ken Paxton receiving endorsements from Trump, the GOP's loyalty to Trump raises concerns about the party's direction and its impact on American politics. Then, Joe speaks with Susan Rinkunas who's an independent journalist and co-founder of Autonomy News, a worker-owned publication covering abortion, reproductive health, and politics. Next, he interviews award-winning historian and author Kathleen J. Frydl about ICE violating civil rights, Trump's impact in China, and the big beautiful ballroom. And then winding it up, Joe welcomes back Keith Price and they chat about pop culture and politics.
