My friend Bill Ayers stops by to talk about his time in the resistance against the war in Vietnam, imperialism and racism in America. We also discuss the psychology of the right wing and the danger of fascism. Bill Ayers tells us about the subjective nature of freedom and insight on how to empathize better in society. Bernadine Dohrn is in the background hooting emphatically watching the World Cup. This is an inspiring and intelligent conversation with a brilliant and compassionate human being.
