Emergency Muckrake Podcast: Trump's Dangerous Briefings and Creeping Authoritarianism

Unfortunately, Donald Trump and his team of sycophants continue holding their daily press conferences that do nothing but push misinformation, endanger lives, and trumpet propaganda meant to hide the president’s obvious failures. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the poisonous daily tradition, as well as the corporate mindset that created this pandemic crisis and lit the fuse for disaster. This episode also features a special interview with Sarah Churchwell, author of the essential book Behold, America: The Entangled History of ‘American First’ and ‘The American Dream,’ about America’s fascist past and the possibility that we’re slipping into fascism under Trump’s administration.
