33: Mehdi Hasan

Politicon
About this episode
Mary Trump is joined by host of The Mehdi Hasan Show on MSNBC, Mehdi Hasan, to break down the differences between the bases of the two parties and how their leaders treat them.  They also discuss how essential it is to fight racism and insurrectionists, and not to pull punches if we’re going to preserve our democracy.  Will a win in midterms and Democrats passing bills to help the people be enough to persuade independents and overcome our challenges?
