5In this episode, Dan goes back in time to the days of MLK and the progress made by President Lyndon Johnson in getting civil rights and immigration reform passed. But this is contrasted with the racism and divisiveness stoked by President Trump: Trump sees immigration as an invasion, when in fact it is a central part of American life that has made the country stronger throughout its history.

garbage can POS lied to me all my life, like I'm going to even let him do it now.
where did you go Dan
yes thank you sidewalk sweeper Olympia Washington Ms Diana Lynn Bailey COKER
This is a lovely program.
Thank you for this podcast!
theres no proof of another power dictate election but we have proof of a past president selling nuke to an other country and pocket the money
I am sad that journalism today is about sensationalism and not substance. Celebrity, drama driven drivel. THankyou for being a voice I can trust.
it hurt but this episode triggered an epiphany. DR says once upon a time we were all in this together. for the first time in my long life I realized that isn't true. it's not always fun to see the light but I prefer it to being blind. thank you.
I have so much respect for what you do for us. I deeply appreciate the steady, level-headed spotlight your articles shine on what is really happening to us all. In a time when we can't believe in our own government to have our best interest, our country's best interest, and our democracy's best interest at heart, your work it is so much more important than I can express on my own. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do!
Much respect. Love what you do.
My mother and grandparents LOVED you. In my childhood, yours was the voice of authority. When you went to 60 Minutes, I was glad then, too. Now I'm relieved that I can hear you speaking to me seriously about this treacherous moment in history. And poetry! How we need art for renewal, Dan. Thank you. You are doing everything right. ❤️
Really enjoying the podcast! Finally a perspective that encourages people to think for themselves and not follow party lines. Keep them coming!
5 thumbs down. No content. Surface info and editorial. A poem? Really. Stop being scared to inform. Give us a journalistic report, research based information that a professional with your credentials and resources is privy to. A complete disconnect to an audience who is looking for answers, not ambiguous wisdom.
I'm a newbie just catching on trying too I'm sure I'm going to learn the unknown and take in some knowledge of what's going on
I can't wait to listen
You rock—we need more podcasts like yours.
I'm so glad you're here, Dan!
