As the second term of President Trump enters its third month – yes it's only been three months – where has the left and the Democratic Party been? Have they risen to the occasion as President Trump pushes the bounds of executive power and ignores the judiciary? Or have the Democrats failed to meet the moment? Is it time for the younger generation of Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to take over from Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi? And what exactly do all those billionaires, from Elon Musk to Peter Thiel, lining up outside Mar-a-Lago want? Anand Giridharadas joins the program to answer these questions are more. He's the author of "The Persuaders: At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy" and "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World."

Anand, a bestselling author of Winners Take All and The Persuaders, is also an MSNBC analyst and a former foreign correspondent and columnist for The New York Times.

Malcolm Gladwell may be one of the most widely read—and, with his Revisionist History podcast, listened to—journalists of our time. A New Yorker magazine staff writer and the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including The Tipping Point (2000), Blink (2005), and Outliers (2008), he has myriad awards and honors to his name. But this impressive trajectory has never been some planned-out or preordained journey; in fact, as Gladwell says on this episode of Time Sensitive, he has never been one to try to overly plan for or divine the future—of his career, of his life, or of anything, really. “Expectations are a burden and wherever possible should be abandoned,” he says. Gladwell's radical receptiveness is perhaps what has led him to become one of today's most prolific and eclectic writers, reporting on topics ranging from office design and french fries, to dog fighting and Steve Jobs, to automobile engineers and marijuana. Across all of his writing, Gladwell exhibits a rare sleight-of-hand ability to take certain intellectual or academic subjects and leap-frog them into popular culture, and, in doing so, make seemingly esoteric phenomena entertaining and widely accessible.On the episode—recorded in the Pushkin Industries outpost in Hudson, New York—Gladwell talks about the disappearance of what he calls “the critical enterprise in America”; and how A.I. is complicating his famous “10,000-Hour Rule.”Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Malcolm Gladwell[4:36] Revenge of the Tipping Point[5:06] The Tipping Point[13:43] Unsafe at Any Speed[22:52] Anand Giridharadas[24:00] Revisionist History[25:39] Blink[31:07] The Holocaust in American Life[43:16] “10,000-Hour Rule”[43:16] Outliers[56:06] The Bomber Mafia (Podcast Mini Series)[56:06] Pushkin Industries[59:56] John Grisham[1:06:56] The Bomber Mafia (Book)
Send us a textThis week let's chat about a popular book called Decolonizing Wealth by Edgar Villanueva. It is a book about money, giving, and social justice. In today's episode, we will look at how the history of colonization still affects how wealth is used today, often making inequalities worse. Villanueva's book challenges us to rethink how we view money and shows us that it can be a tool for healing instead of causing division. Let's talk about practical ways to change how we think about wealth, focusing on the need to recognize past injustices and empower communities that have been left out. Whether you are interested in philanthropy, social justice, or just want to understand more about money's role in society, this episode will inspire you to think deeply and take action.Links from today's episode:The Decolonizing Wealth Projecthttps://decolonizingwealth.com/The 7 Steps to Healinghttps://decolonizingwealth.com/7-steps-to-healing/ Decolonizing Wealth by Edgar Villanueva https://bookshop.org/p/books/decolonizing-wealth-second-edition-indigenous-wisdom-to-heal-divides-and-restore-balance-edgar-villanueva/10784512?ean=9781523091416 ICYMI another episode you might enjoy:Episode#143 Winners Take All by Anand Giridharadas, a book reviewConnect With Genet “GG” Gimja:Website https://www.progressivepockets.comTwitter https://twitter.com/prgrssvpckts Work With Me:Email progressivepockets@gmail.com for brand partnerships, business inquiries, and speaking engagements.Easy Ways to Support the Show1.

To say that there has been a “vibe shift” among Democrats is an understatement. Since taking Joe Biden's mantle as the presumptive Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris has ushered in an unmistakable wave of positivity within the party. The joy and optimism suffusing her campaign have thus proven powerful antidotes to the fear and anger being sold by Donald Trump. That is, according to MSNBC analyst Anand Giridharadas, who has been writing extensively about the political potency of emotions in his popular newsletter, The Ink. In the latest episode of the Inside the Hive, Giridharadas discusses why everyone is picking up such “good vibes” from Harris and running mate Tim Walz—and how the duo pulled Democrats out of their anti-Trump doom loop. “You have to compete with authoritarianism by doing some of the things it does: by commanding attention, by catering to feeling, by making people feel like they can see a future,” he says. “The Harris campaign has somehow tapped into that.”
The Harris for President 2024 Campaign made its latest political move by announcing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Kamala Harris' choice for vice president. The selection of Walz signals that, for Democrats, this election is about more than just defeating Donald Trump, says author and political commentator Anand Giridharadas.He joins host Kai Wright in this episode of “On The Call,” our political pop-up series, to talk about how a Harris-Walz ticket sends a message about America's future that is sorely needed, and why this pairing gives off “vibes” that shouldn't be underestimated on the political stage this year.What are you vibing to this summer?

Context. Is there a less sexy word in the English language? Or a more important one?The journalist Mehdi Hasan has long been a relentless advocate for context. As a host and commentator for the BBC, Al Jazeera, and MSNBC, Hasan has always challenged assumptions and filled in historical blind spots, with a devotion to doing the extra research and a willingness to speak truth to power. Now he has left his corporate media days behind him and has launched his own, independent media company, Zeteo, which aims to take on some of the most difficult reporting challenges of our time, with a focus on democracy and human rights.In this conversation, Hasan talks to our host, Anand Giridharadas, about how he views the student protests, what American responses to the Ukraine and Gaza wars tell us about the limits of empathy, the challenges of reporting the news in an age of threats to democracy, how many admire activists only once they're dead, and why it's so so difficult to have a debate with opponents who can't even agree on basic truths.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05- During MSNBC's Morning Joe, eight undecided voters were asked if they would personally be better off under a Donald Trump or Joe Biden economy—all eight members of the group raised their hands in favor of Trump, with one even calling Biden “disastrous for the economy.” 6:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, New York Times columnist and political analyst Anand Giridharadas suggested that Democrats cannot be afraid to defend “chaos and ungovernability” at the border. 6:40pm- On Thursday, former CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge testified before the House Committee Hearing on the Press Act. During her opening statement, Herridge said: “CBS seized hundreds of my reporting files including confidential source information” which she believes “crossed a red line.” She continued, “if confidential sources are not protected, I fear investigative journalism is dead."
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/12/2024): 3:05pm- Charlie Savage and Luke Broadwater report that on Friday, the House of Representatives “passed a two-year reauthorization of an expiring warrantless surveillance law that had stalled this week amid G.O.P. resistance—but only after narrowly rejecting a bipartisan effort to restrict searches of Americans' messages swept up by the program. The bill would extend a provision of law known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, that is set to lapse next Friday…Grasping to salvage the measure before the law expires, Speaker Mike Johnson put forward a shorter extension than its originally envisioned five years, persuading hard-right Republicans who had blocked the bill to allow it to move forward. The final vote was 273 to 147, with both parties split. One hundred and twenty-six Republicans joined 147 Democrats in favor, while 88 Republicans and 59 Democrats were opposed. The legislation still must be cleared by the Senate and signed by President Biden. But the main obstacle has been in the House.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/12/us/politics/surveillance-bill-fisa.html 3:15pm- Now that reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has passed in the House of Representatives, could Mike Johnson's Speakership be in jeopardy? 3:30pm- Earlier this month while appearing on MSNBC, Biden-Harris Campaign Finance Chair Rufus Gifford insisted “every dime” of money donated to the Democratic National Committee will go towards campaigning—emphasizing that the funds were not being used for President Joe Biden's legal fees. However, there are now reports that the DNC contributed $1.5 million for lawyers and fees related to a federal investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified documents. You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-used-campaign-funds-to-pay-for-bidens-legal-bills-while-hitting-trump-for-doing-the-same-thing 3:50pm- Rich still hates Woodrow Wilson.

Mohammad Kharwin, 48, was freed on bond as he awaited an immigration hearing in Texas, scheduled for 2025, U.S. officials said. There were no restrictions on his movements inside the U.S. Late Thursday, Kharwin was taken into custody again by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, a Homeland Security spokesperson said.” You can read the full report here: https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/man-terror-watchlist-remains-us-released-border-patrol-rcna147192 4:40pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the House voting in favor of reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and how, according to reports, she was on a list of Americans—which included Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Jared Kushner, and Ben Carson—who were warrantlessly surveilled by the Obama Administration prior to the 2016 presidential election. According to CBS News, Iran is expected to attack Israel within the next 24 to 48 hours, potentially using a combination of hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles.

What are some of the skills or insights shared by some of America's extraordinary change makers, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Alicia Garza or Loretta Ross? In particular, what can these people teach us about how to build larger movements for change?Anand Giridhardhas, author of Persuaders, talks us through what he discovered when he interviewed these and other American change makers. In this chat Anand shares the story behind why he came to write this book - about his own story as a bridge builder between cultures and the lessons he learnt about how people navigate change.The chat then turns to his book Persuaders - identifying lessons about how persuaders communicate, how they work across difference, and how important it is for movements to be able to think about the kind of implications that change making has on communities while they are prosecuting change with communities.This chat is all about Persuaders, but Anand has written four powerful books: India Calling, True American, Winners Take All and Persuaders.

Anand Giridharadas, author of The Persuaders, returns to Woke AF Daily for a timely discussion about the unique nature of the American experiment and the very real risk of failure we are all facing in this moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Like many of us, Anand Giridharadas (American political commentator, bestselling author) despaired how the world had become stuck in a fractured suckhole and he could no longer convince people to change their hearts and minds to be kinder and better. So he went on a mission to find out how to persuade more effectively, resulting in his recent book The Persuaders: At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy.In this chat, the former foreign correspondent and New York Times columnist argues this wild idea: Progressives working on issues like race equality and climate (and, um, an Indigenous Voice to parliament) need to give up on political purity and… persuade! This is not your usual “effective communications” thesis. We cover what we can learn from the Russian bot farms, A.O.C. and a cult deprogrammer. This episode comes at a critical time, as many of us are 1. feeling defeatist about progressive/humane discussion today, and 2. seeking techniques to equip us for being of service in a troubled world.

Andrew Marantz, in the August 14th, 2023, issue of The New Yorker, wrote about Leah Hunt-Hendrix, a major donor to progressive causes whose grandfather was a politically conservative oil tycoon. Hunt-Hendrix's use of her money and influence to support progressive social movements is remarkable in that the goals of these projects run counter to her class interests, and even aim to put her family's company out of business: raising taxes on the rich, pushing for more corporate regulation, and passing a Green New Deal. She funds grassroots organizations, and also co-founded the political organization Way to Win, which works to elect candidates on the left. In this episode of the Political Scene, Marantz, a guest host, invites the writer Anand Giridharadas to discuss the unexpected nexus between big money and movement politics. Giridharadas is the author of four books, including, most recently, “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World” and “The Persuaders: Winning Hearts and Minds in a Divided Age.”
In a democracy, meaningful change often requires adapting views and building coalitions. Some believe finding common ground and building rapport is the best way to change minds. Others believe activism and protests are key to raising awareness. Increasingly, however, the acts of listening and persuasion are left out, as each side is convinced that the other is unmovable. Anand Giridharadas is a journalist, columnist, on-air political analyst, and author. His latest book, “The Persuaders: At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy,” explores how the tactics of persuasion can help strengthen democracy and foster positive societal change.
