In this extended episode—and 100,000 subscriber milestone special—we discuss the aftermath of Trump’s belligerence, namely the response from corporate media and the political establishment. We also talk about the DNC’s unity tour with Bernie Sanders, Sean Spicer’s mishap, Rachel Maddow’s Russian obsession, and Trump’s crafty scheme to cut social security, and Mike chats with H.A. Goodman. Additionally, we celebrate reaching 100,000 subscribers, and talk about what’s next for the channel. All of these topics and more will be discussed in this ‘Lord of the Rings’ length episode of The Humanist Report. Enjoy!
