First hour: Journalist Adam Serwer on "The Nationalist's Delusion"

Second hour: How the GOP's tax plan would impact graduate students

Adam Serwer, correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, joins us to discuss his recent piece titled "The Nationalist's Delusion." The piece has been hotly debated since its publication, and many prominent writers of color call it a landmark in analyzing America's history with white nationalism.

Then in our second hour, last week we heard from Congressman Tom Reed on why he wants the GOP tax plan to pass; today we hear from some who oppose it. Grad students in particular are concerned that it will balloon their expenses, blocking their career paths. And in Rochester, a bipartisan coalition of mayors and supervisors spoke about their concerns. We'll get their perspective on who will be impacted, and how.

  • Helen Davies, University of Rochester graduate student
  • Bill Moehle, supervisor for the town of Brighton
