Summary
Thom explains how racism- ever present in the Republican party- has moved from covert subtlety to conspicuous blatancy in an effort to influence voters. A bizarre right wing election ad is analyzed that links the Kavanaugh grievance factor with racial framing to malign Democrats. ---------- Callers chime in on voter suppression, racism, and the impending midterm elections. ---------- Talk Media News lends us Chief Foreign Correspondent Luke Vargas who comes bearing interesting stories; like the Pope goes to North Korea. ---------- Listeners call in on the issues of the day- will voters figure out that Republicans are in the process of mortally wounding social security? ---------- Thom interviews Dr. Joe Romm on the possibility that climate change could spiral out of control. ---------- Listeners call in on eating meat, hoarding weapons, and the ancient origins of aggression.
