Summary
Thom welcomes Jeff Sharlet, author of "The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War" and most famously, "The Family". How did the well-armed crazies move from the fringe to the center of conservative politics? And why are Republicans waging a cold war on direct democracy?
Plus - an update from the hot war on fascism with Phil Ittner in Kiev.
