On this week’s Fallon Forum, Ed Fallon discusses: (01:28) Steve King is perhaps the most honest politician in America. No matter how hard he tries, he simply can't conceal the fact that he's a racist. We discuss this on our program with Dr. Markalain Dery of New Orleans, where folks are livid at King's characterization of them as lazy. (20:38) Also, we discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict with Maria Filippone, including the US political establishment's response to Rep. Ilhan Omar's -- what shall we call it? -- candid honesty about the plight of Palestinians? Akram Al Satarri joins us on the phone from Gaza, even as an Israeli military strike is in progress. (49:14) Finally, we discuss the latest developments in Bold Iowa’s Climate Bird Dog campaign, moving the conversation on climate forward with the presidential candidates in Iowa.
