Send us a textThis week, Ken Fong and I take on a sobering question: Why do so many Americans celebrate cruelty? With the help of British psychiatrist Dr. Russell Razzaque, we explore the mental state of Donald Trump and the deeper dynamics that fuel authoritarian behavior. At the core? Fear. Not fear of crime or poverty—but of losing status, especially among white men who once held unchallenged social dominance.We look at the disturbing celebration of cruelty—like the now-infamous photo of Trump, Marco Rubio, and Kristi Noem laughing in front of cages at “Alligator Alcatraz,” a holding camp for migrants. For many in the MAGA base, this isn't about policy—it's about resentment, superiority, and pushing others down to feel powerful again.Drawing on insights from David Brooks and Alasdair MacIntyre, we trace how our culture shifted from communal virtue to individual preference. We've moved from the language of “duty” and “honor” to the language of “want” and “leverage.” And in doing so, we've lost the moral grounding that once came from religion, tradition, and community.The 2024 award-winning German feature film, The Zone of Interest, makes the powerful, dramatic point. We humans can be so focused on our personal comfort and well-being that we remain oblivious to the callous cruelty and inhuman brutality right next door.We also ask: How did compassion and humility get replaced by bile and demonstrative cruelty? Why does backing and supporting Trump feel personal and set in stone to his followers? And how do we reclaim a moral vocabulary that elevates character over charisma?Finally, don't miss our call to action: Join the Good Trouble movement this month. Protest. Speak up. Reclaim our shared values.LINKS: Psychiatrist Russell Razzaque, M.D.ATLANTIC David BrooksFILM: ZONE OF INTERESTGOOD TROUBLE Protest Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Writer Raina Lipsitz joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss Zohran Mamdani's surprise win in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. Lipsitz explains how Mamdani, a 33-year-old Muslim politician supported by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), appealed to a wide swath of voters to upset three-term governor Andrew Cuomo. She talks about volunteering for Mamdani's campaign, the racist and Islamophobic attacks he faces, his advocacy for Palestine and for immigrants, and the powerful response he got from 18- to 29-year-old voters, as well as many people who voted for President Trump. Lipsitz considers the DSA's rapid growth on college campuses as progressives seek to build community, and reads from her book The Rise of a New Left: How Young Radicals Are Shaping the Future of American Politics.

In this rebroadcast, we ask a difficult question: Is civil war inevitable, or can we talk our way back from the brink? In a world increasingly fractured, whispers of civil unrest grow louder. Dr. John Paul Lederach, a veteran peacebuilder with decades of experience in global conflict zones, offers a stark yet hopeful message: the antidote to escalating tensions lies not in grand pronouncements but in the quiet power of human connection. This week on Mission Forward, Lederach shares insights from his new book, Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War, a timely and urgent call to action for a nation teetering on the edge.Lederach's work isn't about predicting the future; it's about recognizing the patterns of the past. He draws parallels between the volatile political climate in the US and the conflicts he's witnessed around the world, highlighting the insidious nature of dehumanization and the urgent need for rehumanization. He argues that we must move beyond "listening with our eyes," judging individuals based on their affiliations, and instead engage in deep, radical listening that acknowledges the shared humanity beneath the surface of disagreement.Lederach introduces the concept of "watching our pockets," a metaphor for cultivating local, grassroots movements for peace. He argues that lasting change emerges not from top-down decrees but from the interconnected web of relationships within our communities. He challenges listeners to consider: who do we know? How can we connect with those just outside our comfort zones? How can we build alliances around shared values and goals?The conversation isn't about finding easy answers or quick fixes. It's about cultivating the courage to start, the willingness to listen deeply, and the perseverance to stay engaged, even when the path forward seems uncertain. Lederach's message is a potent reminder that the future of our democracy rests not in the hands of politicians or pundits, but in our own capacity for empathy, connection, and the unwavering belief in the possibility of a more peaceful future. In a world where division seems inevitable, Lederach offers a powerful alternative: the possibility of building peace, one conversation, one relationship, one pocket at a time.Don't forget, you can download Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War free on his site, or pick it up on Amazon right here.

Send us a textWhat happens when nine candidates compete for sheriff in a special election? Frank Tiller, newly elected Chairman of the Spartanburg County Republican Party, shares the unexpected challenges and surprising community response as his leadership team navigates what even state election officials couldn't fully advise them on.This engaging conversation pulls back the curtain on local politics, revealing the often-misunderstood nature of political party operations. When Tiller's team inherited a nearly empty bank account and immediately faced organizing major candidate forums, they encountered a common misconception - that political parties are government-funded entities. The reality of grassroots funding comes into sharp focus as Tiller recounts the remarkable moment when community members stepped forward to transform ticketed events into free forums accessible to all voters.The heart of Spartanburg's political renewal beats every Saturday morning at a local restaurant where "CAMP" (Coffee and American Politics) gatherings have exploded from an intimate group of eight to overflow crowds exceeding 100 participants. What makes these meetings special? Tiller explains that unlike traditional political events, every attendee gets microphone time - prompting the most common feedback: "My voice is being heard, and that has never happened before in politics."From navigating the peculiar requirement that the county chairman must collect sheriff candidates' fingerprints to the ambitious goal of increasing primary election turnout from 13% to 20%, this conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into democracy at work at its most local level.Ready to engage with your local political process? Mark August 8th on your calendar for the special election, and consider joining the Saturday morning conversations where candidates and citizens connect beyond credentials to build the relationships that ultimately drive voting decisions.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/
50th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich joins me today. Newt's new book Trump's Triumph is a New York Times best seller. Newt documents President Trump's greatest comeback in political history. Despite a 9 year effort to destroy him, President Trump won popular and electoral votes and became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. Now that the big, beautiful bill has passed the Senate, President Trump is one step closer to fulfilling his agenda and the promise he made on the campaign trail. If President Trump can keep the House in 2026, the MAGA revolution will be fully institutionalized and set the base for Republicans to win the general election in 2028.

In today's episode we speak with Liza Featherstone and Doug Henwood about Zohran Mamdani's upset victory in the recent primary for in New York mayor's race. We first learn more about this 33-year-old socialist, and remarkable campaign he and his team put together to defeat ultimate political insider and ex-governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. We probe behind the headlines to see the ways Mamdani's platform was responding to a set of crises that the Democratic establishment chose to ignore. We both address the onslaught of Islamophobic attacks on Mamdani, and also see what they mask—why is Zohran Mamdani both so reviled by some, and loved and championed by others? And is this race about the future of the Democratic party, and why should we care?Liza Featherstone is the author of Divining Desire: Focus Groups and the Culture of Consultation, published by O/R Books in 2018, as well as Selling Women Short: the Landmark Battle for Workers' Rights at Walmart (Basic Books, 2004).

BE THE REVOLUTION: HOW OCCUPY WALL STREET AND THE BERNIE SANDERS MOVEMENT RESHAPED AMERICAN POLITICS Most people think that Occupy Wall Street failed, and Bernie Sanders's meteoric rise to the national stage was simply a 'viral' phenomenon that captured the hearts of unrealistic Millenials. Be The Revolution reveals how Occupy organizers strategically activated their national network of activists to fuel the grassroots movement that propelled the Senator's campaign to change the course of American history. This is an inside journey through the key events of the 2016 and 2020 primary races. It follows a secret group of Sanders influencers called Bernie's Avengers as they challenge the Democratic establishment and then join the historic pipeline fight at Standing Rock. This book also offers important insights into the rise of QAnon and neofascism.Be The Revolution is a gonzo adventure into the heart of the grassroots movements that defined a decade, a memoir that also contains a theory of change to guide the development of the movements urgently needed to take on national and global crises.PRAISE FOR BE THE REVOLUTION:"Be The Revolution offers Important insights into some of the most significant developments in modern America, based on intimate knowledge and direct participation."-Noam Chomsky“We should thank Jay for his life's work.

In this episode, we dive into the turbulent decade of the 1970s, exploring how the oil shocks and economic crises of the era shattered the postwar order in America. Drawing from historian Gary Gerstle's influential work The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Era, we examine how stagflation, energy insecurity, and geopolitical tensions fueled public disillusionment with Keynesian economics and paved the way for a neoliberal revolution.In This Episode:The 1973 and 1979 oil shocks and their devastating economic ripple effectsStagflation: why rising prices and stagnant growth confounded policymakersThe decline of faith in government economic managementHow energy crises exposed vulnerabilities in American global powerThe ideological groundwork for the rise of neoliberal leaders like Ronald Reagan and Margaret ThatcherGerstle's perspective on how these transformations reshaped the political and economic landscape for decades to comeAbout the Book: Gary Gerstle's The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Era offers a sweeping history of how neoliberalism rose to dominance in the late 20th century and why its influence may now be waning.

In a double-feature political earthquake, the show examines two seismic developments shaking America and its global standing. First, New York City's Democratic primary shocks the nation as openly communist candidate Zoran Mamdani emerges victorious, pushing policies like abolishing the NYPD, prisons, and gun rights while vowing to align NYC with international law—even threatening to arrest Israel's PM Netanyahu. Democrats are split, unsure whether to embrace or distance themselves from this far-left shift. Meanwhile, the Biden-Trump administration's coordinated military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities is dissected in detail. Despite media spin and leaked “preliminary” assessments, military leaders and intelligence agencies confirm the strike severely set back Iran's program by years. As Trump supporters hail the operation's success, critics are accused of politicizing national defense. Together, these stories highlight a growing rift over America's identity—at home and abroad.
What does the life of William F. Buckley, Jr. reveal about the deeper currents shaping American politics? In this episode, Jacob Heilbrunn speaks with Sam Tanenhaus, a former editor of The New York Times Book Review and the author of the new biography “Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America” (Random House, 2025). Together, they examine how outsider campaigns, cultural backlash, and the performance of political authenticity have reshaped both the right and the left. Is Trump the culmination, or corruption, of Buckley's movement? Has the liberal establishment lost its hold not just on power, but on the language of ideas itself? And in a time of ideological confusion and institutional decay, is today's chaos a break from the past or its inevitable result?Music by Aleksey Chistilin from Pixabay
In this week's episode of Politics in Question, Lee and James discuss the role of conflict in policy making, guided by E.E. Schattschneider's The Semisovereign People: A Realist's View of Democracy in America (1960).How can conflict drive change? How do our current views of partisanship and conflict inform decision-making? How does who controls the scope of conflict shape democratic participation? These are some of the questions Lee and James explore in this week's episode.

As always, this is a free-wheeling, unscripted conversation amongst friends and political allies.

Has civility and empathy been eroded from American politicstoday? With so many people taking divided and fractured stands when it comes tothe state of the government. Well, if you take a deeper dive into the numbers,they will tell a compelling and interesting story. According to Gallup News, Arecord-high 80% of U.S. adults believe Americans are greatly divided on themost important values, while 18% believe the country is united. The percentageseeing the nation as divided has ticked up from 77% the last time Gallup askedthe question in 2016. It is more than 10 percentage points higher than in the prior2004 and 2012 measures.Public skepticism about national unity isn't new. Surveys byGallup and others dating back to the 1990s show that Americans typically haveseen the country as divided on key values. Only in 2001 and 2002, in theaftermath of 9/11, did Gallup find most Americans perceiving the opposite, withover two-thirds of U.S. adults believing the nation was united. For someinsightful answers regarding the current state of play in American politics today,I enlisted the expertise of Brent Giannotta. Brent was a CIA counterterrorism analyst from 2010 to 2015,tracking ISIS foreign fighters, external operations, and extremist psychology.After resigning, he became an award-winning journalist and ghostwrote op-edsfor political figures published in the Washington Post and Foreign PolicyMagazine. He then transitioned to mental health, joining a psychiatric crisisresponse team and counseling callers to the 988-suicide crisis hotline. He leftthose jobs in 2024 when he was invited to join the 2024 Harris-Walz campaign inPittsburgh. Born and raised in Los Angeles and educated in internationalrelations, Spanish, and Arabic at the University of Southern California, Brentwon a Rotary scholarship to study Middle East studies at the AmericanUniversity in Cairo, Egypt. He's worked in Congress, edited reports for HumanRights Watch, worked on AOC's first campaign, has published op-eds in the LATimes, and guest lectured at USC, UCLA, and Harvard Extension School.

Gavin vs Trump: Why Newsom Stands Alone Against MAGA Madness | Karel Cast 25-78 Description: Why is Gavin Newsom the only one standing up to Trump and the MAGA machine? Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson invoked a vile image—saying Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a punishment once used on runaway slaves. The attack is more than words—it's a dangerous escalation. As Trump's authoritarian grip tightens, where is the resistance? Why does it feel like Newsom is fighting alone while the rest of the country spirals into chaos under MAGA control? In this episode of the Karel Cast, we break down: • The disturbing language from GOP leaders • Why Newsom's defiance matters more than ever • How Trumpism continues to fail Americans: rising costs, broken systems, and growing division • And most importantly—why we must ask: Where is everyone else?
In this episode, we dive deep into the constitutional showdown between President Trump and California Governor Newsom over the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles without state consent. We break down the complex legal battle involving Title 10 authority, the Posse Comitatus Act, and the 10th Amendment, featuring insights from top constitutional scholars and legal experts who are split on whether Trump has the authority to override a sitting governor. We also explore the dramatic political breakup between Trump and Elon Musk over a $2.4 trillion spending bill, the escalating immigration raids that sparked violent protests in LA, and the broader implications for federal-state relations. From Trump praising the National Guard hours before they even arrived, to threatening to arrest Governor Newsom, to the Justice Department's push to unwind decades-old desegregation orders - we examine how multiple constitutional crises are unfolding simultaneously. Plus: TikTok star Khaby Lame's surprise ICE detention, new military zones at the border, sanctions on International Criminal Court judges, and Russia's massive drone attack on Ukraine. Join us for "Research on a Dime" as we unpack the precedents being set that will echo far beyond this administration.https://linktr.ee/purplepoliticalbreakdown
On this edition of Parallax Views, journalist Jacob Silverman returns to Parallax Views to unpack his new article, “Coin Operated: The Crypto Industry's Takeover of American Politics,” a timely investigation into how cryptocurrency has gone from financial sideshow to political powerhouse. We explore how the crypto industry—despite a track record of scams, collapses, and regulatory defiance—has embedded itself at the heart of U.S. politics. From Donald Trump's embrace of memecoins and bipartisan failure against the crypto lobby to the harassment of Biden-era SEC officials, Silverman traces what many see as the troubling rise of the crypto industry's political power and its potential consequences for democracy. Jacob also shares insights from a recent Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, offering a glimpse into how crypto culture is merging with MAGA politics, shedding its cypherpunk roots, and reshaping the conversation around money, power, and regulation. If you want to understand how this segment of the tech sector seized political influence—and what it means for the future of democracy and finance—this episode is essential listening.

In today's episode, we examine the intensifying public rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The catalyst? Trump's recently proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” which notably removes federal subsidies that have historically benefited Musk's ventures. Elon has not remained silent, and tensions escalated further when he retaliated by implying that Trump is listed among Jeffrey Epstein's known associates, suggesting this as the reason the full client list remains sealed.Major accusation.Is this an authentic ideological clash, or a calculated distraction? What are the political implications, and who truly benefits from this spectacle? Let's dissect the rhetoric, analyze the deeper motives, and apply biblical clarity in the midst of all of the chaos.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOopJ1q_VkwFOO-Q2RCLoc1uzsHwAP4yh-_ZFG-r8_S9idICTj6nR

Happy Emmajority Report Thursday to all who celebrate. Trump's tariffs are halted by a court ruling, and he is is big mad about that and the new term TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) that's been ascribed to his tariffs by a Financial Times columnist. After that, Taylor Lorenz is with us to talk about the persistent political impact of the COVID pandemic and the government's response to it. Check out her video we play a part of (and the rest of her YouTube page for that matter) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrjlOE9e50&t=781s In the Fun Half, we are joined by Thursday regulars Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton to try to decipher Eric Adams' comparison of Betsy Ross to Bitcoin. It's a head scratcher. A new poll shows the Abundance Agenda is not as popular as public policy that would fight corruption and get money out of politics. Pretty f-ing granular! And Texas is about to pass a draconian anti-trans bill.

What has been the historical role of Christianity in American democracy? And what exactly is civic theology? These are some of the questions Lee and James explore in this week's episode.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Drew and I take you through a whirlwind week where politics, world affairs, and tech innovation collide. We dissect Biden's shocking cancer diagnosis and what it means for the country, dig into Bernie Sanders' eyebrow-raising admission about the Democratic Party, and go deep on just how broken the government really is—and how (or if) it can ever be fixed. We tackle the big questions: What does it take to create a thriving middle class? Should we trust the government to spend more and do more, or do we need to completely rethink the machine? Are we living through a crisis of vision, where our leaders offer no North Star to inspire the country?
