Pulitzer Prize for History

She's a prolific staff writer for The New Yorker.

And just this year, she won the Pulitzer Prize for History for her book, We the People, which is a brick.

It's a comprehensive history of the U.S. Constitution.

Paul Wells' show was presented by Cameco, a nuclear energy company proudly operating in Saskatchewan and Ontario for nearly four decades.

Then finally we'll speak with Eric Schlosser, who has written for The Atlantic since 1994, and he has received a National Magazine Award and a Sidney Hillman Foundation Award for reporting.

His book about nuclear weapons command and control was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History, and his best-selling book Fast Food Nation, The Dark Side of the All-American Meal, is available for pre-order and out later this month in an updated 25th anniversary edition.

He also has an article at the New York Times, Why Did Trump Order Up to 660 Million Pounds of Mystery Meat? And another at the Atlantic, Should We Be Afraid of Our Food? And we will look into how farmers are getting screwed while corporate food is killing us.

And before we begin, for over a decade we have warned that Trump is both a criminal and likely a traitor, not to mention he's mentally unstable, egomaniacal, woefully ignorant, wildly incompetent, insatiably greedy, and spectacularly corrupt.
