Summary
Trump doesn't care how many people in Omaha are stuck for hours in the freezing cold, over 3 miles from the nearest road or parking lot, after he left his rally, putting some in the hospital. He clearly doesn't care how many people die of Covid. It's all about protecting the money and power of the very rich.
And joining Thom for a long form discussion today is author of "The Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right", journalist Anne Nelson with an explosive and comprehensive account of the decades-long relationship between the Republican Party and the conservative Council for National Policy (CNP).
