This episode is hosted by Trevor and Mario. Today we have Brendan O’Connor on the show to talk about is new book “Blood Red Lines: How Nativism Fuels The Right”. Blood Red Lines is an engaging and reflective look at how austerity and the billionaire class paved the way for Trump’s presidency, the rise of the “alt-right,” and the caging of migrants children and adults in detention centers across the country.
