Comedian and longtime Redacted Tonight correspondent John F. O'Donnell discusses Trump's new domestic terrorism directive, the 2016 sabotage of Bernie Sanders' primary run, and why working comedians need to let go of careerism and use their talents to fight fascism. They cover NSPM-7 and the draconian sentences like 30 years for possession of zines, organizing with About Face Veterans Against Fascism, Kshama Sawant's Congress run against AIPAC-funded incumbent Adam Smith, Gavin Newsom blocking a billionaire tax, and John's upcoming video series "Radical Analysis."
