We kick off the hour with a meteorology update from Civic Media's Brittney Merlot and then we hear from host of Amicus, Jim Santelle. Jim shares a bit about what he is going to be talking about on his weekend legal show, this Saturday at 9:00am, and Pat asks some questions about the legal landscape.

Then, some conservatives love to throw around slurs like “Communist!” and “Socialist!” in a way that gives the impression (or provides evidence) that they don’t know what the words actually mean. Progressives, on the other hand, are well aware of how to describe Fascism but are only recently using the word more publicly because Donald Trump’s rhetoric creeps closer to matching it. We’ll talk to Mark Jacob about news coverage of Trump’s danger to democracy.
