The Common Good Podcast

You've been watching history in the making.

We welcome Emmy Award-winning MSNBC anchor Ari Melber and former prosecutor and General Counsel to then FBI-Director Mueller Andrew Weissmann. Ari Melber expounds on the foreword he wrote for the Harper Collins edition of the January 6 Report, now a #1 New York Times bestseller, and talks with former prosecutor and Mueller General Counsel Andrew Weissmann about the findings, the case for future indictments, and the pending special counsel probe into Donald Trump. Both speakers also took audience questions during the evening.

The head of the Anti-Defamation League Jonathan Greenblatt discusses the rising trend of online hate speech, normalized antisemitism, and supremacist groups - and what we can do to combat it so America doesn't reach the tipping point.

The #MeToo movement has been one of the most impactful campaigns, giving accountability for years of sexual harassment and abuse by those in positions of power against women. There are now many once-powerful men who fell from grace to disgrace as their crimes were exposed -- and perhaps one of the most powerful to fall was the once much-lauded, very talented, and very, very flawed film producer, Harvey Weinstein. At The Common Good, we work to share with you sharp and informative discussions on the critical issues of the day with the highest caliber thought leaders and experts. For this episode of our TCG podcast we are honored to feature author Ken Auletta.

What makes a great leader? What qualities does it take for someone to rise up and take charge of others and guide them into a better future? These are questions that have been asked by generations of aspiring politicians, CEOs, and grassroots organizers.

Our youngest citizens are the most diverse and most educated in history, making them more connected to the world around them then ever before - and they are not afraid to disrupt the status quo.

The durability of Roe vs. Wade has perhaps never been more at risk than it is today. Texas' new abortion, which effectively bans most abortions, deputizes private citizens to sue those involved in performing abortions and offers a financial incentive for them to do so. Because SCOTUS declined to prevent this bounty system from taking shape in America's second most populous state, lawmakers and executives in at least seven other states have said they are considering similar statutes. What does the future of Roe vs. Wade look in America, and what can be done to combat these draconian laws? The future of Roe v Wade with Wendy Davis. Moderated by legal expert Kimberly Atkins Stohr.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the whistleblower behind Donald Trump's infamous impeachment trial, is regarded as an American hero.

It was in this position that he felt it was his duty to report the phone call that would go down in history.

There is perhaps no greater authority on policing in America than Bill Bratton. But Bill Bratton is not only an expert on policing, he was also in the key position to assist in combating terrorism in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and subsequent terror threats in New York and Los Angeles. Join The Common Good as Ken Auletta, best-selling author extraordinaire and famed columnist for The New Yorker, leads a conversation with Commissioner Bratton on Bratton's new book, “The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America” as a jumping off point. We'll look at Bratton's extraordinary career, how policing has changed (for good and bad) over the years, and get his thoughts on national security more generally. Bratton was known for improving community relations with the police and significantly reducing crime rates. How did he do it? Can we do it again? With crime rates rising, particularly violent crime, we need to know. Don't miss this essential conversation. During a 46-year career in law enforcement Bill Bratton, ever results-driven, instituted progressive change while leading six police departments, including seven years as Chief of the Boston and Los Angeles Police Departments and two nonconsecutive terms as the Police Commissioner of the City of New York. He is the only person ever to lead the police agencies of America's two largest cities. In the words of our Honorary Advisory Board member and former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, Bill Bratton is “America's police commissioner.”

The Common Good sits down with Representative Elissa Slotkin. Moderated by Jane Harman.

How has the American economy evolved over time and is our unique brand of capitalism still the envy of the world? Well, we are still one of the richest countries in the world, with the largest economy and some of the most dynamic, innovative companies, but there have certainly been growing pains - extreme inequality, waning upward mobility, and decreasing competitiveness. So how did we get here and what lessons can be learned from our past? Zachary Karabell has some thoughts. Author, commentator, investor and all-around renaissance man, Karabell tells the story of money and power in the United States, using Brown Brothers Harriman, the oldest private bank in America, as his lens and narrative arc. Present at the creation of the post-World War II international system, BBH's fingerprints can be found on many of the major economic developments of the 20th century. Karabell also acknowledges a particular model of capitalism that BBH came to define and inhabit that he believes to be a more constructive version than the current publicly traded shareholder variant, where gains are privatized and losses socialized. Conversely, BBH's model in 1800 and today is that of a private partnership - the risk is theirs and so are the rewards. At its core, this is a story of capitalism and how its evolution shaped America. We can think of no better moderator to lead this sweeping conversation than historian and TCG Honorary board member, Douglas Brinkley. Zach and Doug will explore the history of American power and capitalism, offering, if not a lesson, an example of a more responsible, restrained, and perhaps gentler version of capitalism for today and the future. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Voting rights around the country are being severely curtailed. In fact, according to the Brennan Center, as of March 24, legislators have introduced 361 bills with restrictive provisions in 47 states. That's 108 more than the 253 restrictive bills tallied as of February 19, 2021 — a 43 percent increase in little more than a month. With instances of voter fraud virtually nonexistent, the rationale for much of this legislation is dubious at best. Voting rights shouldn't be a partisan issue. Join The Common Good and experts, Michael Waldman, President of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law School, Carol Anderson, author and Chair of African American Studies at Emory University, and David Litt, author and former speechwriter to President Obama. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
