Arnie begins this edition of Rethink the Week with an article from Forward dot com about the Poway synagogue shooting being not just about antisemitism but about white nationalism. The guests are David Levinthal of The Center for Public Integrity, and Val Endress of Rhode Island College. The topics of the show are big money in politics, represented by big pharma; Joe Biden and corporate contributions; Joe Biden and Delaware as home to corporations; Joe Biden and unions. The song is Would I Lie to You by Charles and Eddie. After the break the topic is Trump’s lies and how the mainstream media takes them as a given; Dave Levinthal discusses his Center for Public Integrity; removal of a president by an actual impeachment process, voted by the Senate, has never happened; political success based on “the look”, people want to believe; speculation about a Republican primary vote – New Hampshire (and Rhode Island) has more undeclared voters than either party, and they can choose which party’s ballot they want on primary day. The show closes with Sycophant by Lisa Germano.
