EA-Times Radio VideoCast: The Week in TrumpLand — Iran, Birthright Citizenship, Corruption, and A Failed Ego-Fest

I joined a Byline Times panel on Friday to assess the 250th anniversary of US independence.

We look at past and present, from politics to culture to today’s wannabe authoritarianism, to ask if America is still the “city on a hill” that John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared in 1630.

The other panellists are Byline Times executive editor Peter Jukes; Alexandra Hall Hall, a former British diplomat who is now a US citizen; and journalist Heidi Siegmund Cuda. The host is Adrian Goldberg.
