Fascism Expert Jason Stanley on the 5th Anniversary of Jan. 6 Capitol Attack

Season 2025 Episode 8070 | 18m 11s

Author and University of Toronto professor Jason Stanley takes stock of the actions of the Trump administration and the Supreme Court since the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. He argues that both have veered sharply to the right and are doing everything in their power to consolidate right-wing influence, with recent U.S. moves in Venezuela standing out as a vivid example of this strategy.
