The monologue this time is about Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally where featured speakers and comedians spewed vulgar, crude “jokes” and vile, racist comments to rile the mouth breathers. Then, John interviews Bill Adair who is the Knight Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Public Policy at Duke University and the director of the Duke Reporters’ Lab. His awards include the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting (with the PolitiFact staff), the Manship Prize for New Media in Democratic Discourse, and the Everett Dirksen Award for Distinguished Coverage of Congress. They discuss his new book “BEYOND THE BIG LIE: The Epidemic of Political Lying, Why Republicans Do it More, and How it Could Burn Down Our Democracy”. Next, he interviews Dawn Huckelbridge, Founder of Paid Leave for All PAC. She has spent her career in gender policy, political organizing, communications, and building early-stage programs and campaigns. And lastly, John jokes with comedian Rhonda Hansome about Trump and the election.
