Hello, I'm Oli Dugmore, and welcome to Unfiltered.

My guest today is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author whose coverage of the

most significant moments in 21st century US history has seen him arrested and tear-gast.

His latest book, American White Lash, provides a nuanced and human account of how the forces

of white power retaliated against the presidential victory of Barack Obama helped propel the

rise of Donald Trump and resulted in multiple racially motivated murders.

He says, white fears may be the defining force of our time, and as long as there are elements

within our mainstream politics and media willing to cynically play to those fears, we can expect

additional bursts of white racial violence, the horrific calling card of our era of American

White Lash.

Where's he, Larry?

Welcome to Unfiltered.

Thanks so much for having me.

How are you?

I'm doing all right.

I'm enjoying my time over here on the side of the Atlantic.

It is, as we were talking about before, it is miserably hot.

Yeah, it's probably a little bit too much for my, for my, I wasn't prepared for the

full summer, but here we are.

Yes, rocking the jeans.

I went for linen trousers today, which is a bit quieter than I was pushing the boat out

a little bit.
