On tonight's show we'll present an interview with Cassie Miller of the Southern Poverty Law Center on the Proud Boys--and and a rare conversation with Ruth Bader Ginsburg recorded at a Veteran Feminists of America event in 2008.
Proud Boys
The Proud Boys are in the news again, since being mentioned during last Tuesday's Presidential debate.

Cassie Miller, of the Southern Poverty Law Center covers it all in an interview with Fran Luck that ran on the Pacifica nationally-aired series "Covid, Race and Democracy". The interview also examines the racist beliefs of the Proud Boys and their role in the anti-lockdown/anti-mask "movement" that has played a large role in spreading the coronavirus iin the U.S.
