This hour we'll talk Evan Osnos' in-depth look at the nationalist movement behind presidential candidate Donald Trump. How much power lies with the fringe? 

And the internet has been full of tragic photos of a dead Syrian child. Some activists and journalists sayit's important to show those photos, an "indictment of collective failure."  Others say it's hollow and hypocritical.

Finally,as judges ruled in favor of Tom Brady,there's more to talk about with "Deflategate." 

GUESTS: 

  • Rand Richards Cooper - author, essayist, and  restaurant critic for the New York Times
  • Luis Figueroa-Martinez - Associate professor of history at Trinity College
  • Taneisha Duggan - Director of Audience Engagement at HartBeat Ensemble

MUSIC: 
“Those Balls Are Perfect”- Tom Brady Songified
