Episode Details

After Trump’s tweets about the El Paso killings, Beto’s response was the one of the best: “He’s not tolerating violence, he’s inciting racism and violence in this country.”  Joan Walsh, National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation, examines the mainstream media’s failures in covering Trump.

Also: Trump gets worse every week.  Two years ago we had massive nationwide protest demonstrations--so why don’t more people take it to the streets these days?  Nation columnist Katha Pollitt has been thinking about that.

Plus: last month was the 50th anniversary of Americans walking on the moon.  What would it take to get a similar mobilization today of money & effort—and vision–-to combat climate change?  D.D. Guttenplan comments – he’s editor of The Nation.
