Description

Our friend Anne Applebaum has written a new book called Autocracy Inc. She chronicles the rise of authoritarianism around the world and how those autocracies work together to keep themselves in power. With Donald Trump running for President of the United States, could we be heading for a similar fate? We've seen other countries thwart autocracies in recent weeks. Is America ready to do the same? Plus, Donald Trump has one of the most disliked VP candidates in history. We talk to The Liberal Redneck, comedian Trae Crowder, about JD Vance and his "Hillbilly" roots.

Hello. I love this podcast and wish Al had never left the Senate. I'm commenting about a technical glitch, however. I am listening via Castbox and the podcast cuts off, just stops abruptly as Trae begins to talk about his conversation with Vance. Can we access the rest of the episode, please?
