KMUD Global Stuff on the impacts of the elections

KMUD - Global Stuff

This podcast of Global Stuff was recorded on October 25, 2024. In the first half,
host Jimmy Durchslag talks with Teddy Wilson, a journalist, researcher, and
consultant on the U.S. radical right. Teddy exposes the America First Legal
Foundation’s plans to undermine the election if Trump loses. AFLF advances a
legal theory that would allow judges to throw out results over “failures or
irregularities” by local officials. In the Second Half, Norman Solomon, co-founder
and national coordinator of RootsAction.org and author of several books, returns
to discuss the potential impact of the elections and what is at stake. His recent
book, War Made Invisible, provides a context for how the war in Gaza is
influencing voters in the United States.
