Description

COVID-19 Rocks the White House!  In our latest episode, we get into the news of the past week with  journalist and author Paul Street (@Streetwriter17). And then we deep  dive into how the vacuous neo-liberal politics of Barack Obama led to the rise of Donald J. Trump. We also discuss Paul's new  book, "Hollow Resistance: Obama, Trump, and the Politics of  Appeasement."
Paul Street is an independent progressive policy researcher,  award-winning journalist, historian, author and speaker based in Iowa  City, Iowa, and Chicago, Illinois. He is the author of seven books to  date, including Hollow Resistance. He publishes regularly in  CounterPunch and TruthDig.
