An interview with Kurt Andersen
We discuss his new book
FANTASYLAND: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History
Conspiracy Theories: Nearly 1/2 of Americans believe that millions
of people voted illegally in the 2016 election. 1/3 believe global
warming is a hoax. 1/3 believe that extraterrestrials have visited
(or now reside) on earth. 1/4 believe that U.S. officials planned
the 9/11 attacks. How did we arrive at this point?

Live report from an Anti-Vax Rally in Sydney
Richard Saunders reports from a poorly attended ant-vaccination
rally in Sydney and is confronted by one of the organisers.
Also, The NSW Parliament has passed legislation removing exemptions
for conscientious objection in vaccination rules and tightening
vaccination requirements for childcare centres and schools.
Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children will no longer be
allowed to enrol them in child care with the “conscientious
objector” option scrapped from January 2018.
