The Supremes say its okay to round up people for no crime other than the crime of being Hispanic, which is no crime at all. Ben riffs. Then Natalie Hopkinson connects the dots, so to speak. How Trump manipulates our stereotypes and prejudices to scare people into cheering or at least tolerating authoritarianism. And how the media helps him, frightening white America with sensational images of Black people. Also, the parallels between Smollettgate and Big Balls' story. Funny, Trump didn't send the guard to Chicago after Jussie said he was mugged by white guys in MAGA hats. A few words about Trump as an FBI informant. And Mayor Bowser's predicament. Natalie is an associate professor of Media, Democracy and Society at American University.
