Summary
It's not just Charlottesville. Public acts of anti-Semitism are on the rise across the country, and they're directly linked to the rise in white nationalism. In order to understand the threat posed by white nationalism, we need to examine its anti-Semitic roots. Hosts Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela lead a discussion with Eric Ward, Executive Director of the Western State Center, and Rabbi Jill Jacobs, Executive Director of T’ruah, The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights. Plus, a quick check-in with Washington Post congressional reporter Ed O'Keefe about the recent DACA news. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

| 0:00.0 | Hello? Hey Ed, it's Julio. How are you? How are you, my friend? Good, good good. Where are you from? The newsroom of the Washington Post. |
| 0:10.6 | So we're about to do a deep dive on anti-Semitism and white nationalism, but since you're in the |
| 0:16.0 | newsroom in the Washington Post newsroom, I need to give you a quick call about all this craziness |

| 0:38.3 | What they essentially agreed to do is keep talking. |

The goal is to get it done in October. So the |
| 1:15.3 | reality is it'll probably be closer to the end of the year or it may get pushed |

| 1:23.2 | Could Donald Trump actually be the one |
