But many people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? In Escaping the Rabbit Hole, author Mick West shares over a decade's worth of knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false conspiracy theories through his forum, MetaBunk.org, and sets forth a practical guide to helping friends and loved ones recognize these theories for what they really are. Perhaps counterintuitively, the most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit hole aren't comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong; rather, West's tried-and-tested approach emphasizes clear communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to the test with four of the most popular false conspiracy theories today (Chemtrails, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, False Flags, and Flat Earth)―providing road maps to help you to understand your friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able to break free from conspiracism.

Topics: Mid-term elections Kavanaugh nomination New threats to immigrants Updated report on U.S. income and poverty Co-Host: Jennifer Jones Austin Guests: Leslie Marshal, nationally-syndicated, liberal radio talk show host Rebecca Vallas, Vice President, Poverty to Prosperity Program, Center for American Progress. Yasmine Chahkar Farhang, Lead Immigration Attorney at Make the Road NY  Music: Alejandro Escovedo - “Outlaw for You” from the album “The Crossing”

Last week, in an Oval Office meeting to discuss a path forward for Dreamers, President Donald Trump made the now infamous comment that he’d like fewer immigrants from African nations—what he described as, “shithole countries.” Obviously, Michele and Igor have a lot to discuss. They take a deep dive into the long history of Trump's racist behavior, from discriminating against black Americans who wanted to rent his apartments in the 1970s to launching a presidential campaign where he called Mexicans "rapists." Michele and Igor are joined by Phil Wolgin, managing director for Immigration Policy at CAP, and Rejane Frederick, associate director for the Poverty to Prosperity Program at CAP. They provide the context behind the nation's racist immigration policies and and explain today's power structures that perpetuate many of these ideologies.
