Gen. Kelly: Trump is 'fascist'; 2024 Election Ballot Measures
PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Original airdate 10-23-2024. In an on-the-record interview, Gen. John Kelly, former DHS chief and Donald Trump's former White House Chief of Staff, said that Trump meets 'the definition of fascist,' praised Hitler, disdained military service and disabled veterans, and worse. CHRIS MELODY FIELDS FIGUEREDO of the nonprofit Ballot Initiative Strategy Center discusses the surge of citizen-led ballot measures across the country, covering reproductive rights, minimum wage, paid sick leave, redistricting, and more. She also highlights deceptive ballot measures, efforts in GOP-controlled states to block voter initiatives, and useful tools for voters to make informed choices.

2024 Election
PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! The contrast for American voters could not be starker in the most consequential Election Day in modern American history. On Tuesday, VP Harris delivered a 'closing argument' on the Ellipse, the same spot where former Pres. Trump incited the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Harris laid out her policy proposals to support American families, restore reproductive rights, and accurately characterized Trump as a threat to democracy itself. In contrast, Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday was full of racist, misogynistic, and disturbing threats and attacks. HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and 'DRIFTGLASS,' of the Pro Left Podcast, offer analysis, insight, history and context on both events, the state of the race, and more.
