Charles Davis, author of independent news outlet The Redoubt, joins the show today all the way from Vienna, Austria. He's been covering the close ties between the European far-right movement and Americans. It's led most recently to Greg Bovino and the head of the New York Young Republicans meeting with the European hard right at a conference on "remigration," a term that originated from white nationalists to describe a plan to mass deport immigrants from majority white countries. Thanks to the Trump administration, Bovino, and others, the term and the idea are now mainstream. Charles and Josh talk through these ties, why they matter, and how radical the mainstream right has become.
