According to Jim Hightower, “even the smallest dog can lift its leg on the tallest building.” Jim — who is perhaps our most celebrated contemporary champion of the common folk — believes we are in a “populist moment” in the United States. As Thorne Dreyer’s guest on Rag Radio, he discussed his philosophy and his generally positive take on the state of progressive activism in the country. Includes highlights from the interview, a player for listening to the podcast, and Jeff Zavala’s video of the show.
