Maddow: Humans Have A Muscle For Authoritarian, Fascist, Anti-Semitic, Racist Wedge Politics
Oct 11, 2022 Rachel Maddow joins Nicolle Wallace to discuss her new podcast “Ultra” and the how right-wing extremism has been a through line in American politics.
October 10, 2022 • 36 min It started with a plane crash. The tragic, mysterious crash of a commercial airliner in the summer of 1940 left a scene of devastation in rural Virginia -- and a series of unanswered questions. The cause of the crash was unclear. Among the dozens of people killed was a sitting U.S. senator. His presence on the flight and the strange circumstances surrounding the crash would end up revealing threats to American democracy itself.
Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra
Sitting members of Congress aiding and abetting a plot to overthrow the government. Insurrectionists criminally charged with plotting to end American democracy for good. Justice Department prosecutors under crushing political pressure. Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra is the all-but-forgotten true story of good, old-fashioned American extremism getting supercharged by proximity to power. When extremist elected officials get caught plotting against America with the violent ultra right, this is the story of the lengths they will go to… to cover their tracks. Follow now and join Rachel Maddow for the first two episodes on October 10th.
Listening to this podcast reminds me of the days of my youth, back to the days, just before we got our first Black and White TV, we listen to the radio to expand our knowledge of what was going on in the world. I took the time to reach back in time, and enjoy this story.
Rachel pulls you into the story. A good time well-spent on research and detail that I hope makes a positive impact.
