The Chris Hedges Report Podcast with Adam Hochschild on his new book American Midnight: The Great War, A Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis
With Democrats determined to obliterate Pres. Trump---when the swat-clad, armed, FBI agents raided Mar-A-Lago in the summer, I wonder if he had been home (they knew he wasn't), and denied them entrance, would they have violently shot him?
Even Woodrow Wilson, a human that I have precious little love for, recognized what WWI would bring to what passed for democracy in America.
And Mitchell Palmer, Wilson's attorney general and the impetus behind the Palmer Raids, had been a darling of labor and of American progressives, in the years before The Great War came to America.
Once again -- an outstanding interview !! I would be interested in comments on another book -- From West to East: California and the Making of the American Mind -- by Stephen Schwartz
Thank you and a question:
Sam Bankman-Fried committed multiple illegal and major crimes – see a good description below:
https://youtu.be/dsPNjskCHr8 -- Michael Saylor Destroys Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX & Alamida Res.
-- What are examples prior sentences for similar, although much smaller scale, crimes ?
-- Why was he invited as a celebrated guest speaker at November DealBook Summit (interviewed by NYT journalist Andrew Sorkin) ?
-- When he will be investigated for his huge and brazen frauds and – by whom (how many victim types and overseeing bodies?

Do’s Passos USA trilogy is a must read
This is a magnificent work of American history. I recently reviewed it for California Review of Books.
