Rolling Back the 20th Century: The American and European Far-Rights Meet

Charles Davis, author of independent news outlet The Redoubt, joins the show today all the way from Vienna, Austria. He's been covering the close ties between the European far-right movement and Americans. It's led most recently to Greg Bovino and the head of the New York Young Republicans meeting with the European hard right at a conference on "remigration," a term that originated from white nationalists to describe a plan to mass deport immigrants from majority white countries. Thanks to the Trump administration, Bovino, and others, the term and the idea are now mainstream. Charles and Josh talk through these ties, why they matter, and how radical the mainstream right has become.

The Big World Cup Corruption Episode

Josh and Joe are joined by Tom Kludt, special correspondent at Vanity Fair and a former TPMer. They discuss the World Cup, FIFA, corruption, doping, and more, including why Sepp Blatter, as corrupt as he was, may have been better for soccer as a sport than FIFA's current head, Gianni Infantino. We also talk about why America may have hit its ceiling on how good it can get at soccer, and whether that will ever change.
