Trump is filling key cabinet positions with a range of MAGA diehards. Some are Christian fundamentalists, some are fascistic, some are neocons, but nearly all are ultra-right extremists who want to implement his agenda for the billionaires. Brian and Walter Smolarek analyze his picks to enable us to defend our rights and fight for a better system. This was recorded hours before the announcement of Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for Attorney General and National Director of Intelligence.
Brian is joined by Walter Smolarek, editor of Liberation News and a producer of The Socialist Program.
