It's been over 20 days since the United States has had a Speaker of the House. Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted by the right flank of his party earlier this month, and the tumultuous race for a new Speaker has revealed deep divisions in the Republican party. On Tuesday morning, House Republicans selected Tom Emmer, the majority whip from Minnesota, as their next man up. He's the third nominee the GOP has offered up in the past three weeks, after Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan each failed to secure enough Republican votes to win on the House floor. And with conflict brewing in the Middle East and government shutdown looming on the horizon, House Republicans have left Congress in paralysis with their inability to elect a speaker.  For the midweek podcast, OTM correspondent Micah Loewinger speaks with Brian Rosenwald, a Scholar in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Talk Radio's America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over the United States, about how the long-deteriorating relationship between conservative media and the GOP led us to this point.

A common refrain erupts at each new atrocity: This isn't who we are. In American Rule, Jared Yates Sexton upends those convenient fictions by laying bare the foundational myths at the heart of our collective American imagination. From the very origins of this nation, Americans in power have abused and subjugated others; enabling that corruption are the many myths of American exceptionalism and steadfast values, which are fed to the public and repeated across generations. Working through each era of American growth and change, Sexton weaves together the origins and perpetuation of these narratives still in the public memory, and the acts we have chosen to forget.  Stirring, deeply researched, and disturbingly familiar, American Rule is a call to examine our own misconceptions of what it means, and has always meant, to be an American.   listen and subscribe to Jared's Podcast  subscribe to his substack newsletter    Dr BRIAN ROSENWALD is the author of Talk Radio's America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over the United States, editor of the Washington Post blog Made by History, and scholar-in-residence at the University of Pennsylvania.

Brian Rosenwald joins Tim to talk about the rise of Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio. Brian is the co-editor of a daily Washington Post history blog called “Made by History.” He's a Scholar in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania. He's also the author of a new book called: “Talk Radio's America: how an industry took over a political party that took over the United States.” This Encore Episode was first released February 10, 2020. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Rush_Limbaugh.mp3 Talk radio didn't begin in the late 1980s. The earliest radio talk shows that had an impact were hosted by broadcasters named Joe Pyne, Bob Grant and Larry King. But the talk radio we know today, the one that has created a sea change in the nation's political dialogue, can trace its roots back to the 1980s when a number of factors came to a head at about the same time. The 1980s marked a resurgence of the Republican Party in Washington with the wave of national support that swept Ronald Reagan into the White House. During those same years, the AM radio format started to decline, losing music listeners to the clean and clear signals of FM stations. To carve out a niche and compete with FM, AM radio discovered that talk radio didn't require the same sound quality to attract an audience. Increasingly, AM radio programmed talk and news content on their schedules. In 1987, the FCC's Fairness Doctrine was repealed. The Fairness Doctrine had put restrictive guidelines on how radio stations could air political speech. With the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, radio stations were free to air news and talk programming that catered to specific audiences and specific points of view, regardless of political leanings. During this same period came the advent of less expensive satellite technology and cell phones. All of this opened the door to innovators who would figure out how to make political speech entertaining enough to attract an audience, and more importantly, to attract advertising revenue to those failing AM radio stations. One innovator, Rush Lumbaugh, in particular would lead the way. In the end, both the media and the political landscapes would be transformed.

From Judd Legum's About section at Popular.info: Popular Information is written by me, Judd Legum. I spent a decade following politics obsessively as the founder and editor of ThinkProgress. According to Wikipedia, I've “drawn notice for reporting and commentary on a range of political topics.” I also have experience working on a presidential campaign. In 2008, I was Hillary Clinton's Research Director, which means I was in charge of researching her and her opponents. I was part of a small team that helped Clinton prepare for all 25 Democratic primary debates. I also got an inside look at all the components of a major political campaign, including the press operation, polling, field and ads. In 2010, I ran for State Delegate in Maryland. I knocked on 10,000 doors, put up yard signs, showed up at homeowners' association meetings and sent out direct mail. I won the Democratic nomination. Then I lost in the general election. It was gutting but I'm glad I tried it. I'm putting my experience in politics to work to deliver a newsletter that is worth your time and attention. 43 mins Dr BRIAN ROSENWALD is the author of Talk Radio's America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over the United States, editor of the Washington Post blog Made by History, and scholar-in-residence at the University of Pennsylvania.

In the Interview, political and media historian, Brian Rosenwald, joins Mike to talk about Rush Limbaugh’s rise to popularity in conservative media, his power as a voice and entertainer in talk radio, the influence he had on the Republican party, and who is primed to carry his torch over the AM dial or in podcasting. As a national broadcaster, Limbaugh developed a political perspective over his career that to the left perpetuated harmful ideas, and to the right, uplifted and championed their values. Limbaugh was awarded the presidential medal of freedom February 4, 2020, and died February 17, 2021 of complications from lung cancer at 70 years old. Rosenwald is editor of Washington Post’s Made By History blog, scholar in residence at the Partnership for Effective Public Administration and Leadership Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of Talk Radio’s America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over the United States.

Dangerous talk.  Donald Trump gave a dangerous talk on the Ellipse outside our White House on January 6, 2021. It sounded like a final command signaling the start of the violent part of Trump's Insurrection. Trump learned a lot of his speaking style, tactics, and rough manners from Rush Limbaugh and other talk show hosts.   Author/historian Dr. Brian Rosenwald studied the history of talk radio for his magnificent book, Talk Radio's America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over the United States. Brian wrote the story Craig lived through, broadcasting from the belly of the beast that is talk radio. This interview is long and great.   First up, listen to veteran Republican, Cole Wist, explain why he remains in GOP despite Donald Trump. This former Colorado state representative returns to Craig's Lawyers' Lounge to opine on what President Trump has done to his party. Listen to these two veteran Colorado attorneys analyze the impeachment, criminal, and civil litigation that awaits Trump as he exits.   Our Troubadour has the perfect song for these dark days in the USA. Stranger in a Strange Land sympathizes with an immigrant's plight and condemns bigoted Trump policies such as family separation.  America is now scary and strange with tens of thousands of troops deployed to our capitols to protect against this damned Trump Insurgency. All of it incited by dangerous talk.    Rundown -  00:01:56 - Cole Wist in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge 00:40:40 - Dave Gunders 00:49:35 - Dr. Brian Rosenwald
