When the seat of democracy was being assaulted by domestic terrorists on January 6, 2021, KSQD's program director, Howard Feldstein, raced to gather experts to discuss what was happening that very moment in our country. Guests are: Jill Cody, Political Scientist and author of America Abandoned: The Velvet Coup That Cost Us Our Democracy (and KSQD's "Be Bold America!" radio show host), Tony Russomanno, Journalist with two Peabody Awards and a multiple Emmy Award winner for news, features, and personal reporting at KGO-TV and KPIX-TV. And, fortunately available at the last minute, Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Professor of History and Italian Studies at New York University, is an award-winning author and political commentator on fascism, authoritarian leadership, and propaganda, offering historically informed analyses of current events in regular columns for CNN.com and the Washington Post, and on radio, podcasts, and television. Her new, recently published, book is: “Strongman: Mussolini to the Present." Strongman is the first academic book to add Donald J Trump to the infamous list of authoritarian leaders. Hosted by Len Beyea, Talk of the Bay.
