## Resource

Many, including journalists, pundits, scholars and everyday citizens have noticed similarities in rhetoric and policy between Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler. Is it an accident? A coincidence? Hyperbole? Rabbi Henry Jay Karp doesn’t think so and wrote a book about it, titled, “The Cost of Doing Nothing: Is a Price We Cannot Pay.” Rabbi Karp joins host Steve Fisher to explain why we can't afford to turn a blind eye or deaf ear to the political noise.
