FEATURING ARUN GUPTA - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump held a rally this past weekend at Madison Square Garden, which, in the words of the New York Times was A Closing Carnival  of Grievances, Misogyny and Racism. 

From Tucker Carlson to Stephen Miller, Trump brought out his favored cast of conspiracists and racist fearmongers. Among them were some new faces too, most controversially, a little-known comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe who referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” and made a racist joke about Black people carving watermelons for Halloween. 

Today we’ll get a report back from a journalist and frequent guest on this show who attended the rally and whose analysis goes far deeper than mainstream news media’s assessment of Trump’s Madison Square Garden gathering.
