Nov 2023

on MSNBC the other night with Rachel and Chris Hayes talking about her new book. It was held in NY on 12th November. She was very informative, and she said we are in for some troubling times. (I'm hoping we rise up over this). I need to get her book or audible one.

She was talking about Huey Long he was assassinated. He was viewed as a populist, and demagogue.

I will paste his bio here.
