How Democracies Die with Ruth Ben-Ghiat

How Democracies Die with Ruth Ben-Ghiat

On today’s episode, the brothers speak with NYU professor, historian, author and expert on authoritarianism & dictatorships, Ruth Ben-Ghiat. During the interview, the team discusses Ruth’s take on the January 6 insurrection, deprogramming the GQP cult and tangible solutions to stop the fascist tactics of the Republican Party. The brothers go on to talk about the need for a living wage, ludicrous QAnon/insurrectionist court defenses and much, much more.
