    Monday Night Philosophy focuses tonight on the political philosophical principles generated by George Hammond's “Life is an Eternal Democracy” theory. His latest book, A Slightly Better Future: Short Term Fixes for America, Long Term Fixes for Democracy, details many incremental institutional improvements that could make democracies far more effective in the future. His ideas, based upon what we should have learned over the last 250 years, include a thoroughly revised democratic constitution, significantly redesigned political institutions, and several new forms of institutional checks and balances.  Fortunately, even amidst the current dismaying destruction of valued political norms, there remains a strong, sustaining undercurrent—the hope that all this institutional chaos will ultimately just remind us why compromise in the pursuit of consensus has been, and could continue to be, so productive in America's political culture.  Join us to discuss political principles that are designed to promote a civilized future, using realistic 21st century political thought—and political hope.

    Synopsis:  What happens when the President threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act? Two leading voices weigh in on how Congress, veterans, and citizens can push back against rising militarization. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description [original air-date November 2025]:  The U.S. military is sworn to serve the Constitution, but that's getting complicated under Donald Trump. The President has deployed National Guard troops to half a dozen U.S. cities against the wishes of local officials and ICE agents are roaming around communities acting under unclear rules. Now the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. What difference would that make? Laura's guests are U.S. House Representative Pramila Jayapal and Marine veteran Janessa Goldbeck, who say it's time to reject authoritarianism and uphold the Constitution. Congresswoman Jayapal is the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement and represents Washington State's 7th Congressional District. She has been at the forefront of congressional oversight and opposition to the Trump administration's immigration policies. Captain Goldbeck is CEO of Vet Voice, a national nonprofit that mobilizes veterans and military families to shape American democracy and defend the values they swore to protect. What can Congress, veterans and the general public do to stop the militarization of our cities? Join us for this powerful conversation, plus a commentary on the other times that the U.S. government has turned its military inward. Note: This conversation took place prior to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in MN] “What we're seeing now is the president attempting to reshape the U.S. military into a tool of his own domestic political control . . . And then to deploy uniformed service members and the National Guard across the country against the wishes of local elected leaders . . . I feel a lot of sadness and frustration on behalf of those who are serving in uniform today who are being put into this very partisan political position by the United States president.” - Janessa Goldbeck “What law enforcement should be doing — of any kind, whether it's ICE, National Guard, whoever — is trying to deescalate. What we clearly see this set of military actors doing is escalate, right? When you crack down brutally, when you shoot a rubber bullet at a faith leader in Chicago, or when you violently push someone down to the ground, who by the way happens to be the father of three U.S. Marines . . . I think that is really an attempt to suppress any kind of dissent.” - Rep. Pramila Jayapal Guests: •  Captain Janessa Goldbeck: Marine Corps Veteran; CEO, Vet Voice Foundation •  Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal: D-WA, 7th Congressional District Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

    Lindsey Graham claims credit for pushing Donald Trump into an unauthorized war with Iran by using word association games and flattery. This conflict has escalated rapidly as the US and Israel utilize advanced artificial intelligence to pick bombing targets and assess battle damage. Despite the lack of an imminent threat or a clear exit strategy, military strikes have already resulted in the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials. Iran has retaliated by targeting US radar installations across the Gulf region, successfully degrading defense systems in multiple countries. At home, American citizens face the consequences with gas prices surging toward $5 a gallon. Within the Republican party, internal friction grows as Dan Crenshaw loses his primary for being insufficiently aligned with the MAGA movement. Donald Trump now threatens to block all legislation unless the SAVE Act is passed, even as a record number of GOP members choose to retire rather than serve in the minority. While global tensions rise and Trump suggests Cuba may be the next target, the focus remains on a war that many argue was entirely avoidable.

    Episode #498: Caleb, a research coordinator with the Myanmar-based research group Myanography, argues that participation in the military's 2025–2026 election functioned less as a democratic exercise than as a survival mechanism for civilians living under junta rule. In his view, it reflected fear, coercion, and uncertainty, and turnout figures cannot be understood outside that context. For the first time in Myanmar's history, a national election was divided across three dates—December 28, 2025, January 11, 2026, and January 25, 2026—while large parts of the country were excluded because they were not under military control. Myanography monitored 16 locations across 12 states and regions through community-based field research. Across these sites, Caleb identifies patterns of intimidation, administrative manipulation, and ongoing armed conflict shaping participation. Even before voting began, residents faced pressure. Officials reminded members of the Civil Disobedience Movement that their names remained on record and noted that family members were eligible for military conscription. Rumors spread that abstention could trigger retaliation. Voting slips were distributed selectively, and voter lists contained omissions and inaccuracies. Turnout varied sharply. In Haka, the capital of Chin State, participation was extremely low. In other areas, roughly one-third voted, often strategically. One resident explained, “I just pressed the buttons for the other parties… because I was only focused on avoiding the lion and the green,” referring to symbols of the military-aligned Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP). With no meaningful campaign period, limited information, and confusion between similarly named parties, many voters lacked clarity about their options. Conflict further destabilized the process. In Mudon and Langkho Townships, explosions, drone attacks, and heavy military deployments accompanied voting. In Mandalay, residents were warned that if the indelible ink mark used for election control was not visible on someone's finger, they could well be repercussions. For Caleb, the election's phased structure, restricted access, and atmosphere of fear reveal its function: not democratic choice, but the reinforcement of military control.

    Hawk examines the recent suppression of a Department of Homeland Security and FBI intelligence memo intended for state and local law enforcement regarding increased domestic threat levels. This five page document warned of potential Iranian proxy or sleeper cell activity within the United States following the initiation of war on February 28th. A separate classified report from the National Intelligence Council suggests that even a large scale military campaign would likely fail to oust the clerical and military establishment in Iran. Despite reports of significant missile and drone strikes hitting Tel Aviv and U.S. military bases in the region, mainstream American media outlets remain largely silent on these developments. This lack of coverage coincides with major media organizations and social media platforms paying millions to Donald Trump to settle various legal disputes. The ownership of major news outlets by billionaires and individuals with specific geopolitical interests has led to a climate of self-censorship and a failure to provide a complete picture of the conflict. This behavior reflects a concerning trend of obeying in advance to avoid conflict with the current administration.
