  It's been a week since the election and why Americans voted to send Donald Trump back to the White House is beginning to come into focus. The entire Holy Post team—Phil, Skye, Kaitlyn, and Esau—is here to talk about why Trump won and how Harris lost. Was it the economy? Was it racism and misogyny? Was it identity politics or disinformation in the media? Everyone has a theory. Then New York Times columnist and Holy Post regular, David French, is back to give his take on the election. He explains why Kamala Harris's decision to focus on abortion backfired, and why January 6 did not disqualify Trump for most Americans.   0:00 - Intro   1:21 - Theme Song   1:42 - Sponsor - Glorify - Sign up for the #1 Christian Daily Devotional App to help you stay focused on God.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jeet Heer, writer at The Nation, to round up the week in news.  First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the US' unilateral goals for the people of Palestine, the continued attacks on medical and refugee infrastructure in Gaza, the continuing backlash to the US' role in this conflict, SAG-AFTRA board meetings, a victory for the Culinary Union in Vegas, and Mike Johnson's not-so-continuing resolution, before parsing through the devastating (and still foggy) realities of the growing death toll in Gaza. Jeet Heer then joins, diving right into his assessment of the “guns and butter” agenda of the Biden Administration, and how it compares to the blueprints laid out by FDR and LBJ – for better or for worse. Next, Heer tackles the shotty footing of the Biden campaign one year out from election day, and how his backing of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza has weakened it further as various elements of his coalition – particularly among young, and Black and Brown Americans – begin to crumble. After parsing through the complete disconnect between the US political class and their voters, and the terrifying impact it could have, Jeet, Sam and Emma walk through the particularly out-of-touch doctrine of the GOP as Mike Johnson becomes perhaps the second most powerful theocrat in recent US history. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Shawn Fain reflect on the UAW's incredible fight, Joe Manchin step back from reelection, and assess the biggest races heading into 2024. Michael Knowles theocrats all over himself, Dylan in Kentucky discusses the future of McConnell's seat, Timmy from Nebraska asks about Iran, and Ross from NY vents his frustrations with US politicians. The MR Crew discusses the internal backlash within US politics to the complete alignment of the political class with Israel's ethnic cleansing, and bears witness to the horrors of a Jordan Peterson music video, plus, your calls and IMs!

This is the final installment in our special series of conversations with teachers, organizers, scholars, and activists in Wisconsin that Max, Cameron Granadino (TRNN), and Hannah Faris (In These Times) recorded in the summer of 2021 as part of a special collaboration between The Real News Network and In These Times magazine. To round out the series, we drive straight into the heart of darkness with an in-depth discussion with veteran educators and organizers Frank Emspak and Adrienne Pagac about the passage of Act 10 in Wisconsin under Republican Governor Scott Walker, the statewide protests against it, and the devastation that it has left in Wisconsin for the past 11 years. Frank is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School for Workers and a labor activist based in Madison, Wisconsin. He is a regular contributor to WORT Labor Radio, Progressive Magazine, and a range of other media outlets. Adrienne is a scholar, organizer, and former co-president of the Teaching Assistants Association. The statewide protests against Act 10, known as the Wisconsin Uprising, comprised one of the largest sustained collective actions in the history of the United States, and anyone who was there in 2011 will attest to the collective spirit of resistance and solidarity that the uprising embodied, and the lasting impact it left on all who participated. But the protests were ultimately unsuccessful in beating back Act 10, and the short and long term effects of its passage have been a disaster for working people and organized labor. How did this coordinated assault on labor come to pass in Wisconsin? And what lessons can the rest of us around the country learn from the 50-year war on workers that has changed the state of Wisconsin for generations? Additional links/info below...

Just over ten years ago, the landscape for workers' rights and organized labor in the state of Wisconsin changed dramatically with the passage of Act 10 under Republican Governor Scott Walker in 2011. Act 10 was a hammer blow to the labor movement that essentially stripped collective bargaining rights from public sector workers, made it much more difficult for workers to organize, and forced unions to take massive concessions on healthcare, retirement benefits, and much more. Soon after, in 2015, Walker signed legislation that turned Wisconsin into a “right to work” state, issuing another blow to unions in a state once heralded as a bellwether of the labor movement. But all hope is not lost. In the wake of this coordinated assault on workers and unions, many are using the tools available to them to build up their communities and rebuild working-class power in Wisconsin. This is precisely what we have been investigating in our special series of conversations with teachers, organizers, scholars, and activists in Wisconsin that Max, Cameron Granadino (TRNN), and Hannah Faris (In These Times) recorded in the summer of 2021 as part of a special collaboration between The Real News Network and In These Times magazine. In the latest installment in this series, we talk with Maricela Aguilar Monroy, an undocumented educator and organizer who has spent most of her life in Milwaukee and is working to strengthen the community that has provided a home for her so it can continue to provide a home for others.  Additional links/info below...

Holy cow, this is Working People's 200th episode! Thank you to everyone who has listened to and supported us over the past five seasons—and, of course, thank you to every guest who has ever come on the show to share their story. To commemorate our 200th regular-season episode, we have a special installment of our series of conversations with teachers, organizers, scholars, and activists in Wisconsin that Max, Cameron Granadino (TRNN), and Hannah Faris (In These Times) recorded in the summer of 2021 as part of a special collaboration between The Real News Network and In These Times magazine. In this episode, we talk with longtime artist, activist, and registered nurse Susan Simensky Bietila in Milwaukee. Hearkening back to the episodes we published in the first season of Working People, this is an extended conversation that traces the incredible, winding path that Sue has taken in life, from growing up in the projects in New York to drawing and collaging for The Guardian, the radical US newsweekly, during the height of the Vietnam War, to protesting at the Wisconsin State Capitol in 2011 during the Wisconsin Uprising.   Additional links/info below...

We continue our series on the struggles of teachers and public sector unions in the state of Wisconsin today. As part of a special collaboration between The Real News Network and In These Times magazine for “The Wisconsin Idea,” Max, Cameron Granadino (TRNN), and Hannah Faris (In These Times) traveled to Wisconsin in the summer of 2021. From Madison to Appleton, they spoke to a range of educators, organizers, scholars, and activists who are fighting to rebuild worker power after the devastating passage of Act 10 in 2011 under Republican Governor Scott Walker, and nearly 50 years after cops, townspeople, and a union-busting school board broke the infamous Hortonville teachers' strike in 1974. In this interview, recorded in the town of Hortonville, Max sits down with scholars Harvey J. Kaye and Jon Shelton to discuss the historical significance of Act 10, the Wisconsin Uprising, and the Hortonville strike that set the stage for them decades earlier, and to examine how these crucial events fit into the larger historical trajectory of the labor movement and progressive politics in Wisconsin.  Harvey J. Kaye is Professor Emeritus of Democracy & Justice Studies and the Director of the Center for History and Social Change at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay; he is also the author of many books, including Thomas Paine and the Promise of America and Take Hold of Our History: Make America Radical Again. Jon Shelton is Associate Professor and Chair of Democracy and Justice studies at UW Green Bay, and he is the author of Teacher Strike!

In today's "best of MIP" espiode, Scott Dworkin, who is also Founder and Executive Director of the Democratic Coalition and host of podcast “The Dworkin Report,” is here to download us on all sorts of strategy and analysis of what's up ahead for 2022 and 2024. He shares that it's believed Trump plans to announce a 2024 run early next year, before primary season, for one specific reason--but could that help Democrats in the long-run? Scott also shares his biggest concerns for 2022, and fills us in on a key race in Virginia, where Terry McAuliffe is back for another run. Breaking from the future to look at the past, Scott explains why Mike Pence is an accomplice to the January 6th insurrection. And Scott also share why he thinks Facebook going out of service was a self-inflicted wound to distract from the whistleblower news, and why he doesn't think Mark Zuckerberg will be running Facebook this time next year.

Breaking from the future to look at the past, Scott explains why Mike Pence is an accomplice to the January 6th insurrection.

Its heinous and awful and it sure ain't democracy. Later, Scott Dworkin, founder and Executive Director of the Democratic Coalition describes the nightmare scenario for America if the Dems lose the House in 2022 and much, much more.

James Aldrete comes out of a family political tradition with one foot in the world of radical Tejano politics of the 50s and 60s - and one foot in the  Democratic establishment.

The Democrats may have won the 2020 presidential election with historic victories in southern states ranging from Georgia to Arizona, but have they created the kind of interracial labor coalition required to win the ongoing economic and ideological battles that did not end on election day? Historian Max Krochmal, author of “Blue Texas: The Making of a Multiracial Democratic Coalition in the Civil Rights Era” sees a lot of unfulfilled potential to bring young social movement organizations into the mainstream of American politics.

Joining us today we have epidemiologist, former candidate for Michigan Governor and current host of Crooked Media’s “America Dissected: Coronavirus” podcast, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. We talk about his new book, “Healing Politics” and how policies based in empathy are the right prescription for our country. And to help us break down the week, we are joined by the host of the Dworkin Report, and co-founder and Executive Director of the Democratic Coalition, Scott Dworkin. We talk about the tragic passing of another American icon, the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and what the abhorrent GOP response has done to fuel Democratic senate campaigns.

Democratic Coalition founder Scott Dworkin discusses the Biden-Harris ticket and the  GOP campaign to ratfuck and sabotage a legitimate election. 

Scott talks with Gale Anne Hurd, the legendary Hollywood producer behind cultural touchstones like the Walking Dead franchise on television as well as the  Terminator and Alien movies. Hurd told us about her impending launch of the third Walking Dead series in 2020, and about major developments in the Terminator franchise because a relatively new copyright law will give control back to her and James Cameron, its co-creators for the first time in decades. But her most poignant words had to do with the fight for gender equity in entertainment and empowering individuals, which is a central theme of her life’s work.

For the first time, most of us heard Robert Mueller speak today as he announced the official end of his investigation and the closing of the Special Counsel's office. He also said that his report speaks for itself and that ""If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so." The Washington Post's Greg Sargent joins in at the top of the show to discuss what happens next. Then we'll check in with Scott Dworkin of the Democratic Coalition and the Dworkin Report to talk about the 2020 field of contenders.

Programming note: our chat began with some personal information, so Scott asked that I trim out that part due to death threats he's received. Listen accordingly.

On this episode Chris reacts to the release of the redacted Mueller Report and slams conservatives for taking a victory lap in the face of clear criminal activity on the part of the administration. He discusses the impact impeachment could have on the 2020 election.  Guest Scott Dworkin, founder of the Democratic Coalition who shares his view of the report and what comes next.  Social Media: Twitter @ChristopherHahn   Instagram @ChristopherHahnNY   Guest twitter @Funder

It’s the annual Christmas episode, and our sweaty President Donald Trump is on the show telling your children that believing in Santa is for babies. On the other side of the aisle, we also have Scott Dworkin and the Democratic Coalition here to wish them a very Mueller Christmas. You may actually want to cover their ears for that one. As it is every Christmas, Boomers really had a week. Joe Biden yelled at the youth for complaining about the bleakest economic landscape since the Great Depression, and formally accused sex creep Kevin Spacey reprised his role as Frank Underwood and threatened all of us while doing his dishes. We’ll also discuss the notion of civic duty and public servitude through Notorious RBG’s teleworking from her cancer treatment bed and Trump’s completely justifiable fear of serving in the Vietnam War. You’re listening to a couple of Jews talk about Christmas, so we obviously have movies to discuss, including Vice, Aquaman, Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes, and The Clinton Affair; we also have our first impressions of the trailer for Jordan Peele’s Us to share with you.

Scott reveals the Democratic Coalition's latest report (embedded below) about Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) Russian-linked donors and his role in accepting illegal foreign campaign donations funneled into his senatorial campaigns by the CEO of a virology research company who is now serving more than seven years in federal prison for the scheme. Graham helped the CEO obtain $19.6 million in spending earmarks, but the company has since folded after wasting millions on lobbying expenses and a real estate deal instead of research.

Scott slams the California Republican who has been working overtime to derail Mueller’s Russia probe to help Trump. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is back defending himself in another House Ethics investigation, based on the winery business relationship that we exposed with the Democratic Coalition last year. The House GOP Intel chairman Nunes materially omitted another one of his company holdings entirely off his financial disclosure forms. A Congressional ethics watchdog just filed a new complaint against the House Republican for that omission, and because of the tawny Napa winery which he part-owns has done a lot more than just the one business deal with Russia which it has adamantly stated was solely a one-off transaction. The Nunes complaint asks Congress to investigate the Alpha Omega Winery’s high-seas sex party with underage girls on a large yacht off the California coast. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dworkinreport/support

MoMA chairman Lajos Bokros swings by the studio to discuss the break-up between his party and Ferenc Gyurcsány's Democratic Coalition and other news.

How long has it been? 5 years? 10 years? An eternity?! No, it’s only been one year but damn if it doesn’t feel like longer since Trump took the oath of office. Today, we take a look back at the previous year and digest the lowlights and lowest lights of Trump: Year 1. We begin the show with the eloquent, Pulitzer-Prize winning columnist Leonard Pitts, to get his perspective on the roller-coaster of a year. Then we move onto business-whiz CNBC contributor Ron Insana, and from there we go to the resistance with Scott Dworkin, leader of the Democratic Coalition against Trump. Finally we are graced famed actor and activist Ron Perlman, and no, he didn’t ride in on a Harley and break my legs… Start your engines and lets ride!

Blue Texas: The Making of a Multiracial Democratic Coalition in the Civil Rights Era (University of North Carolina Press, 2016) is about the “other” Texas, not the state known for its cowboy conservatism, but a mid-twentieth-century hotbed of community organizing, liberal politics, and civil rights activism. Beginning in the 1930s, the author tells the story of the decades-long struggle for democracy in Texas, when African American, Mexican American, and white labor and community activists gradually came together to empower the states marginalized minorities. At the ballot box and in the streets, these diverse activists demanded not only integration but economic justice, labor rights, and real political power for all. Their efforts gave rise to the Democratic Coalition of the 1960s, a militant, multiracial alliance that would take on and eventually overthrow both Jim Crow and Juan Crow. Using rare archival sources and original oral history interviews, historian Max Krochmal reveals the often-overlooked democratic foundations and liberal tradition of one of our nation’s most conservative states. Blue Texas recalls the many forgotten activists who, by crossing racial lines and building coalitions, democratized their cities and state to a degree that would have been unimaginable just a decade earlier and shows why their story still matters today. Max Krochmal is an associate professor of history and founding director of Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies at Texas Christian University. Krochmal is also the founder and director of the Civil Rights in Black and Brown Oral History Project, a statewide collaborative research initiative and digital humanities website that received a collaborative research grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. His research and teaching center on African American and Chicano/a-Latino/a civil rights and labor histories and their present-day ramifications. Krochmal is a native of Reno, Nevada, and attended undergraduate at the University of California at Santa Cruz before earning his M.A. and Ph.D. from Duke University. James P.

This episode is a live taping we did with PRINCETON historian Matt Karp. Matt talks about Frederick Douglas, the Civil War, the inspiration he takes from the periodic over throw of the ruling class, themistake the Dems make in courting woke Goldman Sachs, and the value of "Bernie Would have Won". Matt's analysis of the Kansas special election is especially relevant to Ossoff's loss.
