#501 : What we need to know about the threat of far right extremist violence
A perfect storm. What we need to know about the threat of far right extremist violence as election day draws near. Plus Bill Press on the latest presidential polls, the state of the race, and what’s still at play.
An extended conversation with Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University San Bernardino. And Bill Press with Larry Sabato, founder and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and Sabato’s Crystal Ball.
Brian Levin - Pt 1

Brian Levin - Pt 2
We’re speaking with Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University San Bernardino.
And we turn the conversation to how to confront hate and extremism.
