Has fascism arrived in America? In Fascism in America: Past and Present (Cambridge UP, 2023), Gavriel D. Rosenfeld and Janet Ward have gathered experts to survey the history of fascism in the United States. Although the US established a staunch anti-fascist reputation by defeating the Axis powers in World War II, the unsettling truth is that fascist ideas have long been present within American society. Since the election of Donald Trump as President in 2016, scholars have debated whether Trumpism should be seen as an outgrowth of American conservatism or of a darker – and potentially fascist – tradition. Fascism in America contributes to this debate by examining the activities of interwar right-wing groups like the Silver Shirts, the KKK, and the America First movement, as well as the post-war rise of Black antifascism and white vigilantism, the representation of American Nazis in popular culture, and policy options for combating right-wing extremism. Gavriel David Rosenfeld is President of the Center for Jewish History in New York City and Professor of History at Fairfield University. His areas of academic specialization include the history of Nazi Germany, memory studies, and counterfactual history. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

Sam talks with Wendy Via, Co-Founder and President at The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, about their analysis of the publicly announced plan for "day one" of the next presidential administration (presumably headed by leading Republifascist candidate Donald Trump). Their report The Far-Right Playbook for American Authoritarianism: Project 2023 states in part, "Their aims include “bringing together conservative allies with a common goal: to take back our country from the radical Left by developing a robust governing agenda and the right people to implement it.” And it has been reported, though denied, that internal Project 2025 discussions have centered around the next conservative president invoking the Insurrection Act on the first day in office to allow the military to quell civil unrest."

The United States and Israel have both been roiled by major democratic crises in recent years. Many observers attribute these crises to the Trump presidency and the recent plan by the Netanyahu government to undertake a major overhaul of the judiciary. But their roots may well extend back further. Can we learn from the histories of these two countries in understanding the present? Does the story of slavery and anti-Black racism in the U.S., on one hand, and the displacement and occupation of Palestinians, on the other, help explain where we are today? Tel Aviv-based historian of the United States, Dr. Yael Sternhell, provides compelling responses to these challenging questions. While obvious differences exist between the two societies, she notes that there are also important similarities between them, including the prevalence of supremacist ideologies in both. Drawing on her long-standing interest in human movement, Sternhell reflects on the American and Israeli past, as well as the current crises of democracy in both places. History, she concludes, offers in its own way a measure of hope for the future. Dr. Yael Sternhell is Associate Professor of History and American Studies at Tel Aviv University, and is a scholar of the American Civil War and the social history of archives. Her first book, Routes of War: The World of Movement in the Confederate South, is an interpretation of the Civil War in the South as an experience of physical mobility and the many different ways through which mobility figured in the social, cultural, and political processes that shaped the war.

Proverbs 14:34
LIBERTY IN AMERICA - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE: A PRESCRIPTION FOR AMERICA by Dr. Bill Choby. In Liberty in America: Past, Present, and Future, renowned dentist and health policy expert Dr. Bill Choby presents how America, as the empire of liberty, has achieved freedom through the Godliness and goodness of its citizens. Providing an essential insight into America’s past, it demonstrates how the country’s great forefathers fought against an oppressive government and sought freedom from political bondage through their selflessness and God-fearing personalities. Dr. Choby also seeks to distinguish liberalism from liberty and define what true liberty is by highlighting what made the American government unique in all of history—faith, courage, discipline, and personal sacrifice. In this book, he offers the ongoing challenges faced by freedom in the present and how the American people can secure the blessings of liberty for the future generations Although Dr. Bill Choby is a practicing implant surgeon and dentist in Greensburg, PA. he also has been a first-person re-enactor of a middle-aged Col. George Washington reflecting on his adventures during the French and Indian War. The connection between Col. Washington and Dr. Choby is a common interest for mounted fox hunting, a love of God and country, and a nearly identical physical stature of 6’3” and 225 lbs. The euphoria rush of galloping over hill and dale in pursuit of a pack of hounds is a treasured shared experience with G.W. As Col. Washington, Bill has been a frequent sight riding his horse in the Fort Ligonier Days parades. Bill has given first-person presentations at school assemblies, Pennsylvania’s Military Museum, civic luncheons, church assemblies, tea parties, and the numerous reenactments commemorating the French and Indian War in Western Pennsylvania. Bill was also the standing model for John Buxton’s 250th anniversary commemorative painting of Washington crossing the Allegheny River in December of 1753. Bill’s replica uniform was custom made from an actual portrait of Col. Washington by Charles Wilson Peale painted in 1772. Bill added his own custom riding boots just like George would have used. https://www.amazon.com/Liberty-America-Past-Present-Future/dp/1452000832 www.silverliteraryagency.com http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/sillit101.mp3

Camilla Christine Hall was born on March 24th, 1945, in St Peter Minnesota. Her father was a Lutheran pastor, and her childhood was suburban and unremarkable. Like many of her generation, she would become involved in the anti-war movement and the New Left; unlike many of her generation, she would also become involved in Gay Liberation, and a strange cult-like organization called the Symbionese Liberation Army, which became infamous for bank robberies, murders –– and the 1974 kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst. ----more---- SOURCES: Hearings, Reports and Prints of the United States House Committee on Internal Security.

Cookbook author Joan Nathan and food writer Ruth Reichl talk about the foundation of Jewish cooking in America—and how much the Jewish kitchen has changed.
Long lines and malfunctioning voting machines in Georgia's primary election renewed conversations about voting rights, especially those for disenfranchised voters. The New York Times called the issues a "full-scale meltdown of new voting systems." Those systems were put in place after claims of voter suppression in 2018. Discussions about voter suppression are happening throughout the country, with concerns about what could happen in November. This hour, we're joined by RIT professor Donathan Brown to discuss voting rights and policies. His research focuses on race and public policy, and he's the co-author of "Voting Rights Under Fire: The Continuing Struggle for People of Color." He helps us understand voting issues throughout the country, both past and present. Our guest: Donathan Brown , assistant provost and assistant vice president for faculty diversity and recruitment, and professor in the School of Communication at RIT

We'll also outsource Harry Potter and puzzle over Wayne Gretzky's accomplishments. Intro: By a 1976 resolution, George Washington forever outranks every other officer in the U.S. Army.

It's the question on everyone's mind: How the hell did we get here, Donald Trump's America? How did our belief in democratic ideals get warped into what Errol Morris terms the “bat shit craziness” of the Trump era? LARB's Tom Lutz talks with Morris about his brilliant new film Wormword, which debuts this week on Netflix, and how it's tale of an army scientist's suspicious death in 1953 relates to the current crisis of a government we feel we fundamentally can't trust. As Morris explains, a society that builds powerful, secretive, violent institutions cannot also be an honest democracy with citizens who demand to know the truth - and what better way to deliver this message than an uncanny, six-part, binge-worthy, murder mystery. Also, John Freeman returns to recommend Solmaz Sharif's sublime book of verse, Look.
Is the spirit of citizenship still alive in America? Past generations had the draft and epic fights for civil rights. Before that, Tocqueville described how barn raisings and self-government were part of the same civic impulse. But what is citizenship in America today? What should it mean beyond a bundle of rights and benefits? What are the responsibilities, individual and collective, of a modern citizen? Whether we are newly naturalized or longstanding Americans, what do we owe our country? From electoral reform to national service, from local non governmental innovation to a program of Americanization and immigrant integration, it's time for a new citizenship agenda one that defies traditional left-right divides. In this session, Eric Liu leads a conversation with some of America's leading thinkers from the Right and the Left to explore how we can all renew and reinforce a culture of strong citizenship in our nation. Speakers: Eric Liu, Heather Smith, Cristina Jiménez, E. J. Dionne, Jr., Mark Meckler
