Episode 567: Arnie Arnesen Attitude October 4 2024
Description
Part 1:
We talk with Ava Kaufman, reporter for ProPublica. We discuss how oil tycoons Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks have shaped elections in Texas to favor right-wing christo-fascism. They have succeeded in local campaigns in defeating moderate candidates, by virtue of the money they spend. Their attitude is that the world is made of "pagans and patriarchs" and must be shaped that way.
Part 2:
We talk with Bill Curry, and Stephen Pimpare. Curry is a writer, and former aide to the Clinton white house. He was a two-time candidate for governor of Connecticut, and has been a leader in the nuclear freeze movement. Pimpare is a professor at the Vermont Law School, and a writer on social issues.
We discuss the Vice Presidential debate. What should be the Democrats' response when faced with such mendacity and rewriting of history as practiced by Republicans like Trump and Vance?
