Item: We play a clip of Trump saying he gave the Golan Heights (U.S. recognition of Israel’s claim to Syrian territory) as a personal gift to casino magnate, Sheldon Adelson.

The first part of today’s show covers a few recent stories that call into question whether or not Black people’s rights are respected by law enforcement in this country. We have a dialogue about where respect ends and abuse of power begins insofar as Black people are concerned. In the second part of the show, we discuss capital punishment and how erroneous the processes can be in determining whether or not people should pay for their crimes with their lives. We also examine how disproportionately this error rate affects Black people on death row. Our Way Black History Fact highlights Matthew Alexander Henson—the Black man who is likely the true first man to reach the North Pole.

In this part of the conversation, we talk about the importance of a political campaign’s so-called “ground game,” look at the predictive value of early voting numbers, and examine whether Donald Trump would actually have steamrolled Joe Biden as so many were assuming. Then, we take a peek back at our 2019 interview with Doris Kearns Goodwin to learn a thing or two about leadership.

Jim Morris spoke at Burning Books on September 25, 2024. Burning Books is a radical bookstore in Buffalo, NY, specializing in activism, social justice, and liberation struggles. For more information visit burningbooks.com Author Jim Morris tells the story of a group of Goodyear Tire and Rubber workers fatally exposed to toxic chemicals, the lawyer who sought justice on their behalf, and the shameful lack of protection our society affords all workers. Working at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company chemical plant in Niagara Falls, New York, was considered a good job. It was the kind of industrial manufacturing job that allowed blue-collar workers to thrive in the latter half of the 20th century—that allowed them to buy their own home, and maybe a small boat for the lake. But it was also the kind of job that exposed you to toxic chemicals and offered little to no protection from them, either in the way of protective gear or adequate ventilation. Eventually, it was a job that gave you bladder cancer. The Cancer Factory tells the story of the workers who experienced one of the nation’s worst, and best-documented, outbreaks of work-related cancer, and the lawyer who has represented the bladder-cancer victims at the plant for more than 30 years. Goodyear, and its chemical supplier, DuPont, knew that two of the chemicals used in the plant had been shown to cause cancer, but made little effort to protect the plant’s workers until the cluster of cancer cases—and deaths—was undeniable. In doing so it tells a broader story of corporate malfeasance and governmental neglect. Workers have only weak protections from exposure to toxic substances in America, and regulatory breaches contribute to an estimated 95,000 deaths from occupational illness each year. Based on 4 decades of reporting and delving deeply into the scientific literature about toxic substances and health risks, the arcana of worker regulations, and reality of loose enforcement, The Cancer Factory exposes the terrible health risks too many workers face.
