In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy show how many millions of voters having only $10 to their name can lead to disastrous societal consequences and that orange-flavored meth will not save the day. In the second half, Max interviews Henry Giroux, author of the forthcoming book, America at War with Itself. They discuss the descent into absurdity as demonstrated by the latest presidential clown show. What makes this election different from other examples of US political circus, says Giroux, is that Donald Trump has benefited from the United States’ culture of 24/7 media coverage.

Trump is silencing political dissent. We appeal for your support.

Progressive nonprofits are the latest target caught in Trump’s crosshairs. With the aim of eliminating political opposition, Trump and his sycophants are working to curb government funding, constrain private foundations, and even cut tax-exempt status from organizations he dislikes.

We’re concerned, because Truthout is not immune to such bad-faith attacks.

We can only resist Trump’s attacks by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
