A historic fight against privatized public services. The battle over how to talk about race in schools. Plus Bill Press on Donald Trump’s dangerous hold within the GOP.

Former Cleveland mayor Dennis Kucinich on his battle to save the city’s public electric utility. Scholar Christopher Lehman on the conservative backlash against critical race theory. And Bill Press with conservative commentator Charlie Sykes on why it’s time to dump Trump.

Charlie Sykes

Bill Press with Charlie Sykes on Donald Trump’s big lie and what he calls the “doom loop of crazy.” If you'd like to hear the entire episode, visit BillPressPods.com.
