Ep. 51: Greg Palast Warns That The Georgia Democratic Primary Was a Preview of How Donald Trump Will Steal the 2020 Presidential Election Jun 13, 2020

Show notes

Greg Palast is an investigative journalist whose work has been featured by the BBC, the Guardian, the Nation, and Rolling Stone. He is one of the United States' and the world's foremost experts on voter suppression, vote theft and vote fraud. He is the author of the bestselling books Billionaires & Ballot Bandits and The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. His new book is How Trump Stole 2020.

Greg Palast warns that Joe Biden's chances against Donald Trump are far worse than the polls would suggest because millions of Democrats will have their votes thrown out on Election Day. Moreover, many of these same Democratic Party voters have no idea that their votes were purged and therefore not counted.

Palast also explains how -- as recently shown during the Georgia Democratic Primaries -- the Republican Party has refined its strategy of voter suppression, voter intimidation and vote theft. This is the playbook for how Donald Trump and his Republican Party will steal the 2020 presidential election.

Show notes

Tim Wise is one of America's and the world's leading experts on white privilege and racism. He is the author of numerous books including his most recent Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America.

Tim Wise explains how the pandemic and the types of surveillance and changes in personal behavior and freedom it requires are a crisis for white entitlement and white privilege.

Tim Wise also reflects on how only white men such as Donald Trump and his cabal could still be viewed as competent given their gross and willful negligence in how they chose to (not) respond to the pandemic.

And he connects the dots between Donald Trump the human opioid of white rage and the plans by white supremacist terrorists to use the pandemic as an opportunity to engage in acts of violence and other terrorism.
