CLR Show 1720. Air Date March 25, 2022. Putin's lies about the reasons and results of his criminal invasion of Ukraine and trumpian lies about SC Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson unfortunately have much in common. Both sets of lies are rooted in the deep-seated fears of the liars and both pander to popular imaginings about fictional periods in the nation's history that were––supposedly––better than the imperfect present. It is the job of a free press and rational commentators to point this out, together with the dangers inherent in pursuing national policy based on lies. With Friday Co-Host, David Bach.
