The man who carried out the massacre in Pittsburgh was apparently motivated by
a belief that Jewish people were conspiring to destroy the white race by way
of orchestrating mass immigration. It's a conspiracy theory with deep roots in
America's violent white power movement and that today is echoed by Trump and
Fox News. Dan interviews Kathleen Belew on her book Bring The War Home: The
White Power Movement and Paramilitary America, a history of the white power
revolutionary movement from 1975-1995.
