Today on The Gist, guest host Adaam James Levin-Areddy introduces a requested classic from the archives: the final episode of Not Even Mad, before it came back. Journalists Lara Bazelon and David French join Mike Pesca to discuss the personal and professional costs of speaking out against one's own political side, standing up to ideological intimidation, and the creeping cynicism within modern journalism. Finally, Mike reflects on the cancellation of the show itself, explaining why true, friendly ideological disagreement across political divides has become nearly impossible to sustain in contemporary America.

SCOTUS did manage, for now, to stop Trump from recreating the American republic, but four of the court's justices believe that the fundamental law of birthright citizenship in the Constitution can just be repealed—along with the very nature of what American citizenship means. But overall, while Trump had some big wins from the Supreme Court this term, he also had massive losses. David runs down some of the latest rulings with Tim. Plus: Mamdani doesn't think the Constitution should be changed so he can run for POTUS (David thinks he's wrong), Platner is not winning over white working-class voters, Dems need a bigger tent but there have to be lines the party won't cross, and the DOJ is (mostly) losing its immigration protest cases.David French joins Tim Miller.Show notes: David's Newsletter on one-party rule David on the purging of Gen.

This week, Maine's Graham Platner won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate despite having a Nazi tattoo on his chest and recent relationship scandals surface from his past. As well, Texas's Ken Paxton won the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, while having allegations of infidelity and securities fraud. How did these people gain popularity with voters and within their parties? This week on The Bulletin's summer programming we look at segments that have to do with how tribalism has become ingrained in how we navigate the world, including our church, and what happens when someone steps outside of the lines of their group. The episode includes conversations with New York Times journalist Frank Bruni about his book The Age of Grievance, Mockingcast's David Zahl about an incident in which David French was cancelled from a polarization panel, and Sharon McMahon about how to view others you disagree with.   REFERENCED IN THE EPISODE: The Age of Grievance by Frank Bruni GO DEEPER WITH THE BULLETIN:  Join the conversation at our Substack.  Find us on YouTube.  Rate and review the show in your podcast app of choice.  ABOUT THE GUESTS: Frank Bruni has been a journalist at The New York Times for over 25 years, in roles as diverse as op-ed columnist, White House correspondent, Rome bureau chief, and chief restaurant critic.

What would the Russell Moore and David French of 2026 say to their 2016 selves? Watch this conversation on YouTube  Our friend David French joins for a look back on what has changed since 2016 in American politics and American evangelicalism. Russell and David examine the influence of Pentecostalism, prosperity theology, church-growth culture, the missional movement, and New Calvinism, and how Donald Trump was emboldened by the culture they've cultivated. They wrestle with questions of power, certainty, leadership, gender, and why political identity has increasingly become a defining force within many Christian communities. At risk of living only in the past, Russell and David also consider the future. They debate the coming impact of artificial intelligence on law, politics, and society, reflect on whether America's current culture of cynicism and tribalism can correct itself, and share what they hope future generations will say about this era.  Ultimately, the two ask whether renewal is still possible—for the church, for the country, and for a public life. Can we engage in building a culture shaped less by power and fear, but rather character, truth, and neighborly love? Plus: What if David French had run for president in 2016?

Allie was joined by Megan Basham, culture reporter for the Daily Wire, to discuss her investigation into the After Party, a curriculum written by Curtis Chang, David French, and Russell Moore, which is being pushed onto churches in an effort to bring Christians of different political backgrounds together. Megan shares how this curriculum not only fails at its objective but is funded by secular progressives: Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. We discuss why Rockefeller's interest in bankrolling Bible studies is a red flag, including the fact that among the other initiatives funded are organizations that are pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion. What's in the After Party curriculum and what message is it really sending? We also look at the "AND Campaign" and how it is also funded by the Rockefellers. We explain how politics is a way to love our neighbor and why getting it right matters for the church. --- Timecodes: (01:12) What is The After Party? / Rockefeller funding (07:50) What are their motivations?

Is Ukraine's Fight Against Tyranny Already America's Failure?   New York Times opinion writer and Iraq War veteran David French joins Curtis Chang on the Good Faith podcast to explain why Ukraine may be the world-changing war Americans are ignoring. David argues that Ukraine's resistance to Russia has exposed America's retreat from moral leadership, transformed the global balance of power, and elevated Zelensky as one of the most consequential leaders of our time. From Trump's impact on NATO to Europe's growing defense buildup, Curtis and David explore what Ukraine reveals about U.S. power, Christian responsibility, global justice, and the fight against tyranny.   Sign up for The After Party Informational Webinars Sign up for The Good List   02:41 - A Shift in the Balance of Power 08:51 - Ukraine's Rise as a World Power 10:03 - The "Trump Effect" on Germany, France, & Japan  16:30 - A Response to the Left's "Good Riddance to America" Argument 19:40 - Is the U.S. an unreliable partner? 25:41 - Why Americans Should Care About Global Affairs 30:00 - Who Is My Global Neighbor? 32:03 - Evangelicals' Narrow Political Focus 38:18 - Zelensky The Unlikely Hero 45:27 - Are There Virtues to Emulate from Zelensky?   Mentioned in This Episode: David French's article Meet the New Leader of the Free World Canadian P.

Allie sits down with New York Times columnist David French for a candid discussion on faith, culture, and politics. They debate over the definition of “toxic empathy” and how it's used to advance progressive causes on issues like gender, sexuality, and social justice. Allie argues that compassion must be grounded in biblical truth rather than emotional manipulation. French says the real problem is selective or incomplete empathy and that he's seen an uptick in “Christian cruelty.” The conversation explores where Christians should draw lines between mercy, justice, and cultural engagement in an increasingly polarized America. Nothing is off the table, including hot-button topics like Trump, Luigi Mangione, January 6, abortion, and pronouns. Allie and David find some fascinating points of agreement despite public disagreements online. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!

Did President Trump fall for the myth of surgical warfare? Gen. Stanley McChrystal joins the columnist David French, both veterans of the Iraq War, to discuss what may have been overlooked in the planning of Operation Epic Fury. McChrystal, who retired from the Army in 2010, argues that the United States often overestimates the decisive power of aerial bombing while underestimating the weight of historical grievance. And the general weighs in on the current culture of bravado coming from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. This conversation was recorded on Friday, March 20.  Thoughts? Questions?
