The best responses to Trump on the El Paso killings came from Beto O'Rourke: “He's not tolerating violence, he's inciting racism and violence in this country.” Joan Walsh, National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation, examines the mainstream media's failures in covering Trump. Beto, of course, represented El Paso in Congress. Plus: Seymour Hersh—he's won dozens of awards for his reporting on My Lai, Abu Graib, and CIA surveillance of the anti-war movement in the Nixon years. He's also written a dozen books – the newest one is “Reporter: A Memoir”—it's out now in paperback. And we're still thinking about D.A. Pennebaker, the filmmaker who made "Don't Look Back," the amazing documentary about Bob Dylan's tour of England in 1965--it made film history for its striking cinema verite style. Pennebaker died on August first--we'll listen to clips from an interview we did with him in 2001.

Best-selling author Peter May talks about his political thriller set in Brussels, The Man With No Face, just republished four decades after he wrote it. Forget the heatwave sweeping the Continent and dive into a dark and wintry world of intrigue and murder as May describes the Brussels bubble of 40 years ago that formed the backdrop for the book. May talks about what has changed in Brussels and European politics since those days — and what has remained remarkably similar. The podcast panel brings things bang up to date with Boris Johnson's Westminster wizardry — he really is very good at that disappearing Cabinet trick — and Martin Selmayr's intriguing career move. Then it's back to the literary theme with some summer reading recommendations from our panelists: "Merde in Europe" by Stephen Clarke, "Freshwater" by Akwaeke Emezi, "Reporter: A Memoir" by Seymour Hersh, and "Uneasy Street: The Anxieties of Affluence" by Rachel Sherman.

Seymour Hersh is one of America's greatest investigative reporters. In his more than fifty year career he exposed the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War in which 109 unarmed Vietnamese civilians were killed. Writing for The New York Times he helped to bring more public attention to the Watergate cover-up.  Hersh has also shined a light on America's "War on Terror" and its related program(s) of extraordinary rendition and other violations of human rights. He was also one of the first public voices to warn that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney's second Iraq War was based on false pretenses and outright lies.   Hersh has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Associated Press and other publications. In addition to many other prestigious awards, Hersh earned the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for International Reporting. He is also the author of many books including "The Dark Side of Camelot", "The Price of Power", and "Chain of Command". Hersh's most recent book is "Reporter: A Memoir". In this wide-ranging conversation, Seymour Hersh reflects on the current health of the American news media, why they are so easily distracted by Donald Trump's use of social media, and why so many reporters and journalists are afraid of telling the truth and instead are willing slaves to weak standards of "balance" instead of stating plain facts and clear truths. Hersh also shares his thoughts on Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia, how Joe Biden will lose the Democratic presidential nomination, why Trump may likely win in 2020, and the ways that the Democratic National Committee sabotaged Bernie Sanders in 2016 and why this may be the party's undoing in the 2020 presidential race.

Our most popular interviews of the year, starting with Seymour Hersh, one of our heroes; he says “don’t underestimate Trump.”  He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his expose of the My Lai massacre—he was a 33-year-old freelancer at the time. Since then, he’s won pretty much every other journalism award. He’s worked as a staff writer for The New York Times and The New Yorker. He’s also written a dozen books, most recently ‘Reporter: A Memoir.’ Also: Barbara Ehrenreich is another hero of ours-- the author of more than a dozen books, including the unforgettable “Nickel and Dimed.”  Now she has a new book out, a bestseller, and it’s terrific: it’s called “Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainly of Dying, and killing ourselves to live longer.”  Finally, Amos Oz died on Dec 28 --He was an Israeli novelist and unyielding critic of the occupation of the West Bank and a campaigner for a two state solution.  His novels were translated into dozens of languages, and he also wrote for The Nation.  Here we revisit an interview we did with him in 2004, about mideast politics.

In about 1978, I found myself in my high school library. I don’t know why I was there except to say I was probably on detention; I didn’t do a lot of reading in those days. In any event, I was wandering around the stacks and I found a book called My Lai 4. I knew a little about the My Lai massacre because I knew a little about the Vietnam War; my father had been in the army in the 1960s and my uncle had fought in Vietnam. I started reading. It’s not often that a book stays with you your whole life, but Seymour M. Hersh‘s My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre and Its Aftermath (Random House, 1970) did. Hersh reported–that’s just the word–what happened: he did not embellish, he did not moralize, he did not speculate. He tirelessly interviewed the men who were there, the men who commanded them, and read everything he could get his hands on. Then he told a shocked American public: this happened. His reporting arguably changed the course of the Vietnam War. It changed the course of my life, as I went on to write a book about My Lai myself. He has told the story of how he broke My Lai countless times. The story made him famous, and his later reporting only added to that fame. So in this interview about his recently published, telling, and honest memoir Reporter: A Memoir (Knopf, 2018), I focus on Hersh’s life before My Lai. I was particularly interested to learn how he became “Sy Hersh, reporter.” Listen in.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Also: Nearly half of all renters in America today can’t afford rent, and over half a million Americans are homeless on any given night. The problem is simple: a severe shortage of affordable housing. How did we get here? Bryce Covert reports. Plus: One of the defining features of Trump’s politics has been the way he’s appealed to hatred and fear of refugees and immigrants. Viet Thanh Nguyen talks about refugee lives, and refugee writers. He’s the author of the novel The Sympathizer—it won the Pulitzer prize—and editor of the new book The Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refugee Lives.  He’s also the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant—and he’s a refugee himself, arriving from Vietnam with his family in 1975, when he was 4 years old.
