Podcast appearances and mentions of David Fisher

It is the morning after a seismic shift in North Dakota politics, and host Scott Hennen is laying all the cards on the table. In this post-election breakdown, Scott dissects a stinging loss for conservatives in the Fargo mayoral race, where proud Democrat Josh Beaucher defeated conservative warrior Michelle Turnberg. Scott calls this a "giant two-by-four to the head" for local Republicans and traces the loss directly to a stealth, data-driven "ground game" deployed by the Democrats to capture low-propensity voters. Throughout the hour, Scott brings in the key figures who will shape the road ahead. Newly elected Fargo City Commissioner Nikki Gullickson addresses the "liberal" labels thrown her way, sets the record straight on her Republican roots, and shares her data-first perspective on the city's controversial needle exchange program. Then, newly victorious Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak joins the program fresh from presiding over the U.S. House of Representatives, extending a political olive branch to unified conservatives while pushing back against the "RINOs" name-calling. Later, State Representative Mike Nathe breaks down the broader legislative shift that saw establishment "traditional Republicans" soundly defeat the far-right faction, and gold expert David Fisher warns of a fast-moving "de-dollarization" trend sweeping global central banks. Standout Moments & Timestamps [02:20] The Fargo Assessment & The Ground Game Scott details how the Democratic Party—starved for a single major victory in a bright red state—focused all of its resources into a sophisticated get-out-the-vote machine to secure the Fargo mayor's seat.

[09:20] The "Loss Leader" Ruse A warning to voters about outside, radically pro-abortion groups from California allegedly utilizing innocent-sounding ballot measures, like school lunch initiatives, to test and refine their ground game in conservative states.

It started with a young Māori man trying to help a stranger on the street. He ended up being pinned to the ground, handcuffed, locked in a cell, and a four-year court battle. Jamie Lawry ended up being found not guilty, but the case raises harder questions about racism and systemic bias in the north. Many Māori parents up north have to have what is called “the talk” - where they have to teach their kids how to act around police in order to be safe. Today on The Front Page, Green MP Hūhana Lyndon – who is based in Te Tai Tokerau – tells us about what “the talk” means in her whanau and in communities across the region – and why so many Māori families have no choice but to have these conversations. But first, NZ Herald senior writer David Fisher is with us to take us through what happened to Lawry. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.

Main Topic Sermon by evangelist David Fisher from Fan Into Flames Ministry, on going through storms in life, using Mark 4:35–41 (Jesus calming the storm) and Isaiah 43:1–3 to call believers to a deeper revelation of Jesus rather than just rescue from problems.​ 1. Introduction: Word of God and Worship Word of God as powerful and authoritative, likened to a hammer that breaks rock (Jeremiah, Jesus' words never passing away).​ Welcome to Pastor Dave Fisher; context of recent ministry, prayer week, and sensing an increased move of the Spirit in the church and region.​ Worship as an act of defiance against the devil: choosing to shout unto God with a voice of triumph regardless of circumstances.​ Isaiah 43 read as a promise to God's people: when you go through waters, rivers, and fire, God is with you and you will not be destroyed.​ 2. “Going Through It”: Life's Unrelenting Storms Honest acknowledgement that many feel they are “going through it” (days, months, even decades of trial).​ Personal testimony of Dave and Shelley facing the most difficult mental, emotional, and spiritual season of their marriage.​ Introduction of Mark 4: disciples in a literal storm used as metaphor for any life trial.​ 3. The Main Question: “Who Is This Man?” Common application: Jesus stills our storms; affirmation that He can, does, and will.​ Central thesis: believers are not the main characters; the primary point is revelation of Jesus' identity, not mere deliverance.​ If God rescues us but we do not gain a deeper revelation of Jesus, our faith will be shaken at the next storm.​ Key question from the text: “Who is this man?”—this is the heart of the narrative and the sermon.​ 4. Crossing to the Other Side: Assignment and Opposition Jesus' simple statement “Let's cross to the other side of the lake” implies divine direction and assignment, not a casual trip.​ On the other side (Mark 5) is the demonized man with a legion; the crossing is about confronting hell and freeing a captive.​ Any call to follow Jesus and advance His kingdom will be opposed by powers of darkness; storms often accompany assignment.​ Demons recognize Jesus' identity and authority even before the disciples do; they know His power over them.​ 5. Storms, the Enemy, and Our Focus Enemy's purpose: incite fear, paralyze faith, and block God's purpose by overwhelming us with storms and problems.​ Some storms may be directly demonic; others are used by the enemy to assault mind, emotions, and focus.​ When overwhelmed by what we are going through, we forget what we are going to (our assignment).​ Disciples' early lesson: following Jesus includes storms; in this world we will have tribulation, but Jesus has overcome.​ 6. Presence in the Storm vs. Our Perception Fierce storm (earthquake-like on the water); seasoned fishermen are terrified as the boat fills with water.​ Core promise: Jesus is in the boat—in the midst of the storm—fulfilling God's word, “I will be with you.”​ Call to defiantly declare God's word over symptoms and senses: choose His word over sight, feelings, and thoughts.​ Warning: if we fail to discern the source of the storm, we fight the storm instead of the enemy behind it.​ 7. Jesus' Peace and Identity vs. Disciples' Panic Contrast: disciples terrified; Jesus asleep on a cushion—same boat, same storm, radically different response.​ It can feel like Jesus is present but passive, silent, or indifferent; these feelings are real but not true.​ Jesus' inner rest flows from knowing His Father, His identity, His origin, His assignment, and His destiny.​ Believers likewise know their beginning (saved), their assignment, and their end (with Him), so anything in between is in the Father's hands.​ 8. Fear, Faith, and Revelation Disciples' cry “Teacher, don't you care we are going to drown?” contrasts Jesus' word “We're going to the other side.”​ Only one declaration can be true; revelation of who He is corrects our conclusions about our situation.​ Critique of purely informational faith: information about Jesus must become Spirit-given revelation in our hearts.​ Areas dominated by fear reveal where we lack revelation of who Jesus is (e.g., healing, provision, family).​ 9. Jesus Rebukes the Storm and the Source Jesus responds to their cry by rebuking wind and waves with authority (“Silence, be still” / “shut up and knock it off”).​ Same language used to address demons, suggesting confrontation with spiritual forces behind the storm.​ Believers are invited to speak with that same delegated authority to the spirit behind the storm.​ Emphasis: the real battle is not with circumstances but with Satan, who seeks to destroy faith and block assignment.​ 10. Christ's Deity and the Disciples' Holy Terror Immediate calm reveals Jesus is doing what only God does in the Old Testament—ruling the chaotic waters.​ This event unveils not just His power but His deity: Jesus is God, the eternal Word made flesh.​ After the calm, Jesus asks, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”—implying they need not have feared.​ The disciples become “absolutely terrified” in a holy way; divine presence is more awe-inspiring than any storm or demon.​ 11. From Survival to Thriving: The Goal of Storms God's purpose is not mere survival but thriving in the midst of storms through deeper revelation of Christ.​ What we magnify (storm or Jesus) will master us; magnifying Christ brings freedom from storm-mastery.​ Storms can serve as opportunities for maturity and revelation (James 1:2–4 referenced).​ Encouragement: do not wait for storms to seek revelation; build it now in the Word.​ 12. Practical Response: Defiant Declarations and Spiritual Warfare Call to become a defiant people against the enemy, not against God: spiritual warfare, shouting, and praise.​ Personal example: walking around the house proclaiming God's word, pleading the blood, attacking the devil by the Spirit and the Word.​ Use Scripture to declare truth over fear, sickness, and oppression; don't believe everything you think.​ Weapons of warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to pull down strongholds and cast down imaginations.​ 13. Extended Declarations: “Who Is This Man?” Corporate ministry time: congregation invited to the altar to declare who Jesus is, not just receive prayer.​ Long series of biblical declarations describing Jesus' identity and work (never leaving or forsaking; bread of life; light; shepherd; vine; way, truth, life; resurrection and life).​ Christ as reconciler, sin-bearer, seated in highest honor, head of the church, victor over sin, death, and Satan.​ Christ as Alpha and Omega, visible image of the invisible God, creator and sustainer, Lamb slain yet standing, coming King.​ 14. Shout of Triumph and Closing Exhortation Congregational Jericho-style shout as an act of spiritual warfare, linked to breaking chains and walls falling.​ Second, louder shout encouraged, likened to (but surpassing) cheering at a football game (Super Bowl Sunday reference).​ Affirmation that walls are coming down, demons are fleeing, and victories are being won because of Jesus' kingship.​ Dismissal: leave with praise, a shout, and an awareness of spiritual battle; take God's word and do warfare in Jesus' name

David Fisher was a writer who made a distinct mark on Doctor Who during the late 1970s and early 1980s, contributing a run of stories for the Tom Baker era that blended gothic atmosphere, humour, and great characters.  His scripts include The Stones of Blood, The Androids of Tara, The Creature from the Pit, and The Leisure Hive. Four very different adventures that together showcase just how adaptable his writing was within the series. Fisher also played a role in the origins of one of Doctor Who's most beloved classics, although personal circumstances prevented him from completing his script. His story, The Gamble With Time formed the backbone of what became City of Death, later finished by Douglas Adams and Graham Williams under the pseudonym “David Agnew.” Tonight, we look at David Fisher, the stories he delivered across several seasons, and what makes each stand out. We explore his style, strengths, and quirks that define his work and why his episodes remain fondly remembered decades later.

Political and Social Commentary The episode of "What's On Your Mind" kicks off with the host questioning his producer about the strategy for dealing with protesters at the "No Kings rally" to prevent them from distracting the show. He expresses a belief that the protesters suffer from "Trump derangement syndrome" (TDS) and sincerely prays for them. The host worries about the sign "8647" displayed by an acquaintance at the rally, questioning if it's "a little bridge too far" for a peaceful protest and alluding to a dark, potentially violent meaning. The host also addresses a combative caller, "Daryl," who criticizes President Trump's "America-first" policies, specifically a $40 billion deal with Argentina and a NATO Article 5-like guarantee for Qatar. The host defends these actions as "3-D chess" aimed at countering China and Russia. However, he is critical of the beef-related part of the Argentina deal, siding with farmers and senators like Kevin Cramer and Chuck Grassley who believe it disadvantages US agriculture. Economic and Financial Insights The show welcomes David Fisher, CEO of Landmark Capital, to discuss the economy. Fisher calms fears of an impending 2008-style financial crisis resulting from recent challenges in regional banks and the auto industry. He advises listeners to "relax" but anticipates a possible market correction of up to $10%$. Fisher reports significant gains in precious metals, noting that silver is up $80%$ and gold is up $62%$ year-to-date. He suggests that the rally is "just starting," citing the fact that central banks now own more gold than US Treasuries—a situation that preceded a major gold rally in the 1970s. He mentions predictions of gold reaching $5,000 to $10,000. He also reveals a "dramatic lack" of physical silver, causing a market squeeze. North Dakota Economy and Vision Brian Krashus, the North Dakota State Tax Commissioner, provides an update on the state's finances, noting a softening of collections due to less favorable pricing for most agricultural commodities and crude oil. Krashus rates his level of concern at a "three" on a scale of ten, but emphasizes the need to look beyond the current "bushel-barrel economy." Krashus shares exciting data on the potential of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), which could generate an incremental $3 billion to nearly $9 billion in revenue for North Dakota over a decade. The host speculates that this revenue, combined with the power needs of data centers and "intelligence factories," could make the…

Broadcasting live from the 19th Annual UAS Summit and Expo at the Alaris Center in Grand Forks, Scott and Kevin discuss the critical role of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), or drones, in national defense and their transformative commercial applications in agriculture and infrastructure. Key guests, Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer and Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski, highlight the area's rapid innovation and economic growth, positioning Grand Forks as "the base of the future." In the "Money, Markets, and Metals" segment, David Fisher of Landmark Capital explains the global "debasement trade" driving the bull market in gold and silver, and praises President Trump for securing deals with Pfizer and AstraZeneca to lower prescription drug costs for Americans. The hosts also take a moment to honor Charlie Kirk on his birthday, who is being posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Political commentary focuses on the "No King's Rally" absurdity and the ongoing Schumer shutdown, which Senator John Hoeven confirms Democrats are prolonging to coordinate with the rally. Standout Moments: Host reflects on the UND hockey sweep over the St. Thomas Tommies, humorously using the derogatory term "cake-eaters." (00:01:21) David Fisher announces that major pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and AstraZeneca have signed deals allowing 100 million American patients to save up to 80% on prescriptions due to President Trump's "Most Favored Nation" negotiation. (00:03:57) David Fisher explains the "debasement trade," detailing how massive unmanageable global debt is forcing central banks to inflate their way out, driving a major bull market in gold and silver. (00:04:36) Host announces that President Trump is awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk's family on what would have been his birthday. (00:10:48) Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer explains that UAS technology is used for the "dull, the dirty, and the dangerous work," and notes that counter-drone development is critical for national defense after Ukraine used drones to decimate the Russian Air Force. (00:16:03) The hosts and a caller mock the absurdity of the "No King's Rally," pointing out that the rally itself proves there is no king in America, and reveal Democrats are coordinating with the protest to delay the government shutdown resolution. (00:20:47) Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski speaks about the area's relentless pursuit of UAS technology, stating that Grand Forks Air Force Base is now called "the base of the future." (00:33:04) Senator John Hoeven confirms the Air Force has picked Grand Forks Air Force…

Host Scott Hennen reports live from Washington D.C., where he is attending a conference for technology leaders. He shares insights from the event, including an address by Secretary Doug Burgum, who gave a pitch for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library as a conference venue once it opens in July 2026. Hennen also discusses new technology for mammograms that eliminates discomfort and mentions meeting Kimball Musk, who is interested in donating to the library. He makes the case that technology like "intelligence factories" could help North Dakota's economy to the point of generating enough revenue for zero property and income taxes.   The show dedicates time to the two-year anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, with Hennen lamenting that the event has largely been forgotten by many. He later interviews Father Phil Ackerman, a Fargo Diocese priest who was in Bethlehem during the attack and recounts his group's challenging journey to safety.   Hennen and guest David Fisher, CEO of Landmark Capital, discuss the ongoing government shutdown, describing it as a stalemate with Democrats wanting to keep at least $1.7 trillion in spending from the Biden era. Fisher cites examples of what he considers wasteful spending, such as $3 million for circumcision and vasectomies in Zambia and $3.6 million for cooking classes for male prostitutes in Haiti. Fisher also reports that gold is up almost 50% and silver is up 67% year-to-date, outperforming stock indexes.    Standout Moments: 8:00 AM: Host Scott Hennen broadcasts live from Washington D.C., mentioning he is there for a technology conference and that the city feels like a "ghost town" due to the government shutdown.   8:15 AM: David Fisher of Landmark Capital details spending Democrats are fighting to keep in place, including $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia and $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes for male prostitutes in Haiti.   8:30 AM: Fisher explains the "Argentina factor," where a $20 billion bridge loan was given to Argentina while U.S. soybean farmers face falling prices, causing "overwhelming frustration".   8:45 AM: Fisher reveals that gold has increased by almost 50% and silver by 67% year-to-date, attributing the rally to the government needing to devalue the dollar.   9:00 AM: Hennen reflects on the two-year anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, stating it was the "biggest slaughter of Jewish people since the Holocaust" and questioning why the public so quickly…

Hosts Scott and Kevin dive into a packed Tuesday show covering a variety of national and local issues.

Dr. David Fisher recently took time out of his busy schedule in his new role as BJU's Executive Vice President and Provost to share a few stories that reflect his faithful service, stable leadership, hopeful spirit, and unquestionable love for the people around him. 

In 1944, the USS Intrepid embarked on its first combat voyage. The mission was abruptly jeopardized when a Japanese torpedo plane struck the vessel, jamming its rudder at a precarious 45-degree angle. Forced to sail in circles amidst treacherous waters, the crew faced an uncertain future.Despite the daunting circumstances, the ship's Captain initially managed to steer the Intrepid using its engines, but the perilous seas soon overwhelmed his efforts. The crew's perseverance was put to the ultimate test until an inventive crewman devised a makeshift solution-a 3000-square foot sail rigged on the forecastle. Against all odds, this ingenious sail provided the means to steer the ship safely back to Pearl Harbor.This book is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the USS Intrepid's crew, detailing their remarkable struggle for survival with grit and determination. The story is an inspiring account of how teamwork and innovation can triumph even in the direst situations."I am deeply honored to bring the extraordinary story of the USS Intrepid to life in THE SAILING OF THE INTREPID," said author Montel Williams. "This book is a tribute to the incredible bravery and ingenuity of the Intrepid's crew, who refused to surrender in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Their story is one of true heroism and resilience, and I am thrilled to collaborate with David Fisher to share this inspiring narrative with the world. I hope readers will find as much inspiration in their story as I have."The Intrepid Museum is a world-renowned air and space museum founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the storied WWII aircraft carrier. The Intrepid is a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece of the Museum's collection on the Hudson River in New York City, which welcomes more than a million visitors annually."Today the Intrepid is a great air and sea museum, a living tribute to the men and women who fought for our country," said Kenneth Fisher, co-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. "This book tells the incredible story of a few days in February 1944 when the crew of the battle-crippled aircraft carrier devised an incredible, ingenious solution that saved their ship."The Intrepid is a household name, the museum an icon, but so many don't know its story This story is perfectly timed for Fleet Week and Memorial Day - though it's also a timeless story of American heroism, ingenuity, and survival against insurmountable odds Montel is the one to tell it: he served as a naval officer for two decades and has remained active in various military causesMontel was the first Black Marine to attend the Naval Academy Prep School and graduate from the United States Naval Academy and while serving, he earned numerous commendations. The Sailing of the Intrepid is a unique page-turning narrative with new maps, diagrams, and fascinating insights into the Intrepid's history and its importance today. In an interview, Montel could share the timeline of events of the attack on the Intrepid in 1944 and the ingenious solution of the crew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

It's Friday, February 7th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Vietnamese pastor harassed and arrested by Communists Pastor Nguyen Manh Hung, age 71, was arrested on January 16th for a Facebook post that criticized Vietnam's communist government, reports International Christian Concern. Authorities charged Nguyen with promoting “anti-state propaganda,” a charge that carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. Police reportedly cut off the power to the pastor's home, entered the home, and arrested the pastor. Officers also confiscated documents, laptops, and phones. Matthew 5:10 says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Authorities have harassed Pastor Nguyen several times in the last 15 years. But he has continued to publicly challenge corruption and human rights abuses from the communist government, including appearing in 2015 before a U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Sub-Committee investigating violations of religious freedoms in Vietnam. According to Open Doors, Vietnam is the 44th worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. Trump: “America will always be one nation under God!” President Donald Trump spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday which was held in the Washington Hilton, reports The Christian Post. TRUMP: “From the earliest days of our republic, faith in God has always been the ultimate source of the strength that beats in the hearts of our nation. America is and will always be one nation under God.” President Trump referred to the Christian faith of John Winthrop, a Puritan lawyer who helped found the Massachusetts colony, and Roger Williams, a Puritan minister who founded Providence Plantations which became Rhode Island. TRUMP: “Just steps away from here, in the Hall of Columns, is the statue of John Winthrop, who famously proclaimed that America would stand as a city upon a hill, a light to all nations. “In that same hall, we also find the statue of the great Roger Williams, who founded the state of Rhode Island, named its capital city, Providence, and built the First Baptist Church in America. It's Williams that we have to thank for making religious liberty part of the bedrock of American life, and today, we must protect the fundamental freedom with absolute devotion.” Trump forms task force to stop anti-Christian bias in government President Trump indicated he would form a task force to stop anti-Christian bias in the federal government. TRUMP: “Today, I'm signing an executive order to make our Attorney General, Pam Bondi, the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias. The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS, the FBI and other agencies. “In addition, the task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move Heaven and Earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.” That task force will be a welcome respite after four years of demonstrable anti-Christian bias at Biden's Department of Justice and the FBI. District Judge has delayed Trump deadline for federal workers to take buyout Yesterday, a federal judge has delayed a midnight deadline issued by the Trump administration for federal workers to make a buyout choice as more than 60,000 staffers have already opted to take the offer, reports NewsNationNow.com. Millions of U.S. government employees had been facing a Thursday deadline to decide whether to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration or remain in their position. Those who chose to stay still risked being laid off. U.S. District Judge George O'Toole, a Bill Clinton appointee, ruled in favor of several labor unions that had requested a temporary restraining order against the plan spearheaded by Trump adviser Elon Musk. The judge didn't express an opinion on the legality of the program and directed administration officials to extend the deadline to apply for the program until after a hearing scheduled for this Monday. President Trump's push to reduce the size of the government is unprecedented, causing turmoil in Washington, and triggering protests and union concerns over potential legal violations. So far, more than 60,000 employees, about 2% of the federal civilian workforce, have accepted the buyout with more expected to join them. It remains unclear how many of the federal government's 2.3 million civilian workers will ultimately agree to the offer, which guarantees pay through September if they resign by Thursday. U.S.. taxpayers funded transgender opera in Columbia and trans comic book in Peru The United States Agency for International Development, which was created by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, has become a conduit for waste, fraud and abuse.  With a budget of over $50 billion, USAID is one of the largest official aid agencies in the world and accounts for more than half of all U.S. foreign assistance. Thanks to Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency the taxpayer-funded gravy train is finally coming to an end. Outside the White House, Karoline Leavitt, President Trump's Press Secretary, listed some objectionable expenditures of the United States Agency for International Development. LEAVITT: “If you look at the waste and abuse that has run through USAID over the past several years, these are some of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money on.  $1.5 million to advance [Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion] in Serbia's workplaces. $70,000 for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland. $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia, $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru. “I don't know about you, but as an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this crap. I know the American people don't either. That's exactly what Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to do: to get the fraud, waste and abuse out of our federal government.” Nearly all 14,000 staff members for the U.S. Agency for International Development, will be placed on leave tonight, according to the agency.  In addition, all overseas missions for USAID had been ordered to shut down yesterday, reports CBS News.  Jump-roping champion saves teen out of icy waters And finally, a famous jump-roper, David Fisher, recently saved a young man from drowning after he fell through the ice on a frozen lake, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Near his home in Westfield, Indiana, Fisher, age 61, discovered a teenage boy who had fallen into the icy waters through thin ice as he tried to rescue his dog who had met the same fate, according to the Washington Post. Fisher instinctively grabbed the two long cloth ropes he uses for Double Dutch jumping and ran out to the lake. In God's providence, the boy grabbed the jump rope, got back onto the ice, and Fisher pulled him to safety. John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Or, in this case, an absolute stranger!

The Louisiana gubernatorial election of 1872 might not take up prime real estate in most U.S. history books, but it holds the title as the deadliest the country has ever seen. In the late 1860s, a new South was emerging from the wreckage of the Civil War. The passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments promised an era of multiracial equality in the region. As the 1870s began, white Southern resistance was on the rise and the nation's political parties became deeply divided. Then came the election of 1872. Though tensions flared throughout the South, in Louisiana chaos ensued – two governors claimed office, warfare broke out in the streets of New Orleans, and hundreds were killed in political violence. Dana Bash, CNN anchor and chief political commentator, says these events changed the course of politics in our country -- and provide a cautionary tale for today. She and her co-writer David Fisher tell the story in a new book titled “America's Deadliest Election.”

CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash has been having one hell of a summer. She co-moderated the June debate that led to President Biden's historic decision to step out of the race; she landed the first sit-down interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz; and now she's out with a book (co-written with David Fisher) called America's Deadliest Election: The Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History. It's a deep dive into the Louisiana gubernatorial race of 1872 that surprisingly has had ripple effects until today.  Kara and Dana sat down at Politics & Prose in Washington, D.C., to discuss the book, the huge shifts of the current election cycle, and the upcoming debate between former President Trump and Vice President Harris.
