What if some regulations designed to protect workers are actually making it harder to find better jobs, earn higher wages, and adapt to a changing economy?On this episode of Disunion, David Osborne is joined by Scott Lincicome, vice president of general economics at the Cato Institute's Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, to examine how labor policy affects worker opportunity and economic dynamism.Scott explains how government mandates, often framed as worker protections, can create barriers to hiring, job mobility, and wage growth.

For them, decentralization and secession were potential solutions not problems in ending slavery.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/anti-slavery-advocates-disunion

RenMac is joined by banking and payments veteran Howard Mason and digs into a soft payroll report, Chair Warsh's price-stability regime shift, and firming real rates. The team questions how the Fed actually delivers on price stability while hawks fill the vacuum, and turns to a market cycle clock stuck in its worst zone, thinning semiconductor leadership, embers of private credit stress, the yen carry trade and the oil-and-gas round trip.

Gary concludes his interview with Rod Martin about several recent elections and what he thinks might be coming in the near future.

In this episode "The Scalpel with Dr. Keith Rose," he provides a comprehensive critique of President Trump's State of the Union address, which highlighted divisions within American politics. The primary concern raised by Dr. Rose is that many politicians do not stand for American values. Dr. Rose contrasts this sentiment with his own speech written for President Trump, which was based on identifying and addressing problems faced by the nation. He discusses parallels between today's challenges and those encountered during the Revolutionary War in 1776 when American patriots fought against British forces. The current situation mirrors this historical moment in terms of both external threats (like those from China) and internal divisions, where government failures have weakened core institutions and freedoms. He emphasizes that America is at a critical juncture, having faced multiple pivotal points such as the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Today's struggle, however, involves navigating asymmetric conflicts rooted in foreign threats, generational poverty, and the erosion of everyday freedoms by an overbearing central government and administrative state. Dr. Rose argues for unity among American patriots from all backgrounds to confront these challenges. /// Support The Scalpel with Dr. Keith Rose - Experience a Healthier You with LifeWave Phototherapy Patches.

Hockey, Hot Mics & Skynet: Trump's Winning Too Much, ICE Goes Rogue, and Iran Is “Weeks Away” (Again) Dan and Corey riff through a chaotic Libservative episode: a U.S. hockey gold win gets instantly politicized via a Cash Patel selfie and Trump's comments, with both left and right accused of ruining sports and the women's team dragged into the discourse. They call Trump's State of the Union a boring, theatrical “WWE” event full of cherry-picked stats, hot-mic moments, and performative outrage, including a clip of Trump bragging about “winning too much.” They argue media manufactures consent for war, especially around repeated Iran nuclear scare narratives, highlighted by a montage of Netanyahu saying Iran is close for decades. The show covers fears of AI-driven surveillance and autonomous weapons as the Pentagon pressures Anthropic, plus whistleblower testimony alleging ICE training is gutted and cadets are taught to enter homes without judicial warrants. They praise a political stunt by NYC's Zohran Mamdani leveraging Trump's vanity to push housing, then end with TikTok clips about “schizos,” legal harassment of lawmakers, and JD Vance chair-humping memes. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 02:17 Hockey Win Gets Political 09:54 Trump Call Fallout 13:10 Iran War Drumbeat 13:36 State Of Union Theater 25:01 Winning Too Much Clip 27:06 SOTU Side Characters 30:48 Medals And Politicization 33:51 Wrap SOTU Loose Ends 35:00 Medicaid Cutoff Confusion 35:22 Handshake Mandela Moment 36:05 Iran Nukes and Netanyahu Clips 38:23 Deterrence and Who Uses Nukes 42:59 Bible Politics and Land Claims 46:52 Iraq War Playbook Returns 48:56 Media Manufacturing Consent 52:10 Venezuela Oil and Dollar Power 54:00 Pentagon Pressures Anthropic 01:03:14 AI Surveillance and Rights Debate 01:10:44 DHS Shutdown and ICE Oversight 01:15:44 Whistleblower on ICE Training Cuts 01:19:58 Warrantless Entry Memo 01:21:36 Constitution Over Deportations 01:25:44 Undertrained Agents Fallout 01:27:56 Catholic Church Tangent 01:29:42 Anti Federal Government Rule 01:32:23 Voter ID Debate 01:38:52 Trump Vanity Housing Play 01:44:32 TikToks Schizos vs Psychos 01:48:45 Harassing Congress Legally 01:51:50 JD Vance Chair Tell 01:55:03 Wrap Up and Plugs

Most government union leaders are playing a long game, and it's costing taxpayers billions. In this episode of Disunion, host David Osborne talks with Frank Ricci, a former union president and labor expert, who exposes how unions have shifted from representing workers to controlling states like Connecticut.  Ricci reveals the hidden tactics they use to manipulate negotiations, evade accountability, and push policies that drain public resources. Discover the risky strategies unions deploy during contract talks, how public officials are often handcuffed, and what real leadership looks like in the fight to restore balance at the bargaining table.

Leigh Ann Caldwell joins Peter to discuss the political crosscurrents heading into Trump's State of the Union, with Democrats split over whether to protest the speech entirely and Republicans managing internal tensions. She also shares an inside look at the combustible National Governors Association meeting from this past weekend, where Republican governors expressed concerns about the Trump administration and some Democrat governors started plotting their run for president in 2028.

What does it really mean to be “pro-worker”?This week on Disunion, host David Osborne is joined by Austen Bannan of Americans for Prosperity and Vincent Vernuccio, president of the Institute for the American Worker, to break down a sweeping new report: How to Empower Workers: Embracing a Pro-Worker Agenda Built on Choice.With Congress rolling out a flurry of labor bills—from right-to-work reforms and secret ballot protections to proposals backed by unions and even some Republicans—this episode cuts through the noise. The panel explains why many so-called “pro-worker” policies actually empower union bosses and government regulators, not workers themselves.If you care about modernizing labor law, protecting worker freedom, and rejecting one-size-fits-all union mandates, this is a must-listen episode.

Frank Lavin talks with Eli Merritt, Professor at Vanderbilt and the author of  "Disunion Among Ourselves," to discuss the critical issues the Continental Congress faced at the dawn of the American republic, with the most important failure being the failure to eliminate slavery. Eli discusses how the sectional differences and the need to forge some type of political consensus drove the Founders to leave this issue unresolved. In addition to his book, Eli also suggests reading Jeffrey Rosen's book, "The Pursuit of Happiness," which explores how the Founders were inspired by classical discussions of virtue.

Kamikaze Dolphins, Lettuce Triathlons and Calling the Right PlaceDiscussion with comedian and activist Jimmy Tingle on the political utility of comedy and its service in exposing hypocrisy, bringing people together but its insufficiency in bringing change without grassroots organization and movement building. We discuss Jimmy's political campaign for Lt. Governor of Massachusetts, the pernicious problem of money in politics and the need for campaign finance reform. We discuss climate change and the need not only for mitigation but designing microgrids alongside existing infrastructure to limit land prints. We discuss the opioid crisis and the need for universal healthcare and a strong public education system. We discuss the executive encroachment of the Trump administration, its inhumane attacks on immigrants and the need for immigration reform. We also discuss how access and digestion of media is increasingly segmented and contributing to increased polarization and extremism and the need for compassion, community and coming to the table.

Why have public-sector unions drifted from improving workplaces to driving culture-war politics? Fr. George Schultze, SJ — former labor organizer, scholar, and spiritual director — joins Disunion to explain how government unions abandoned their historic mission of uplifting workers and instead embraced a post-modern, power-centered ideology. We explore the roots of the labor movement, the moral compass it once relied on, and how today's unions push agendas — from gender policy to abortion activism — that many members don't support. Fr. Schultze also shares a hopeful path forward rooted in faith, family, and the dignity of work.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWords can move nations—and sometimes they move them off a cliff. We dive into the antebellum South to examine the Fire Eaters, the radical pro‑slavery leaders whose speeches, platforms, and media campaigns turned sectional tension into a secession movement. With William W. Freehling's and Eric H. Walther's research as our guide, we unpack how mainstream Democratic moderates once contained extremism, why that buffer failed, and how a small but relentless network reframed compromise as dishonor and delay as defeat.We explore the core playbook: amplify grievance, define identity against an enemy, and repeat a simple choice—submit or secede. William Lowndes Yancey emerges as the silver‑tongued strategist who pushed the Alabama Platform and helped fracture the Democratic Party at Charleston in 1860, while Robert Barnwell Rhett's Charleston Mercury kept the pressure on with relentless editorials and organizing. Their coordination—one commanding the stage, the other the press—created a feedback loop that made moderation sound timid and militancy sound inevitable. Along the way, we revisit key flashpoints like Bleeding Kansas and the caning of Charles Sumner, not as isolated events but as fuel for a narrative that sold rupture as rescue.This conversation isn't just about the past; it's a lens for the present. We track how over‑the‑top rhetoric accelerates polarization, how media ecosystems can reward the loudest voices, and what happens when political identity hardens into a zero‑sum creed. The takeaway is both sobering and practical: language shapes choices, and choices shape history. If you care about how societies keep disagreement from becoming disaster, this story matters.Key Points from the Episode:• Fire Eaters defined as radical pro‑slavery secessionists• Moderates within the Democratic Party as temporary brake on extremism• Propaganda through speeches and newspapers to harden opinion• Yancey's Alabama Platform and Charleston 1860 walkout• Rhett's Charleston Mercury as engine of agitation• Walther's argument on movement diversity and acceleration of secession• Biographical arcs of Yancey and Rhett as case studies in radicalization• Caution on the social cost of over‑the‑top rhetoric• Preview of a debate comparing 1860 rhetoric to todayOther resources: Want to leave a review?

September 12, 2025 Political Violence and the State of Our Disunion by Dr. Farid Holakouee

Austin's Alison Tucker has been writing songs and performing since her late teens, and just released her first album Where You Used To Be.

On this episode of Disunion, host David R. Osborne welcomes Sarah Harbison of the Pelican Institute to unpack the high-stakes legislative drama surrounding Louisiana's recent public-sector union reform bill.What began as a straightforward “opt-in” bill—requiring government union members to annually confirm their membership and allowing them to resign at any time—quickly turned into a political showdown. Despite early momentum and support from the governor, the bill was gutted in the final hours of the session, raising serious questions about union influence, transparency, and legislative process.Sarah and David explore how unions wield power behind the scenes, the First Amendment implications of restrictive membership clauses, and what it will take to bring meaningful reform back to the table in 2026.Whether you're a policy junkie or a public employee looking to understand your rights, this episode is a must-listen.

The term “the nation”—as it refers to the country—has a relatively recent history in American political rhetoric. Until the Civil War, politicians more commonly used “the Union” or “the Republic.” That changed with Abraham Lincoln, who referenced “the nation” five times in his 1863 Gettysburg Address. Two years later, in July 1865, the first issue of our magazine was published.For our 160th Anniversary issue, we called on fifty of our best writers and artists to depict the current national landscape: what's being gutted, steamrolled, and eviscerated, and what some of us are doing to keep the national project afloat. Contributor Richard Kreitner joins us to discuss the monumental task of putting this issue together, the history and future of secession, and more.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of Disunion, host David R. Osborne is joined by Will Sussman of the Manhattan Institute to discuss a disturbing development out of Massachusetts: the state's largest teachers union, the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA), has come under fire for promoting anti-Semitic classroom materials.Will and David break down the details of a shocking legislative hearing, where lawmakers confronted union leadership about educational resources linked to pro-Hamas propaganda and inflammatory imagery—including a Star of David made of dollar bills and posters glorifying political violence.The conversation explores how radical ideologies have gained influence in government unions, the limits of union democracy, and how exclusive representation leaves many educators stuck with a union that doesn't reflect their values. Will also shares insights from his own legal battles and raises a critical question: who really controls our public schools?

Episode 238: United States of Disunion by Craig Johnson

History was made in the US Capitol Tuesday night: The first address to a joint session of Congress by a convicted criminal. President Trump returned to the scene of the January 6th crime, triumphant at having won an election by promising lower prices and stability. We'll recap a speech outlining his plans for higher prices and ever more instability. And in Climate Check: How Trump's layoffs at NOAA are a classic case of “shoot the messenger” for someone who doesn't want to hear about his impact on the climate.

John J. Miller is joined by Robert W. Merry to discuss his new book, 'Decade of Disunion.'

Constitutions are often thought of as the agents of change for monarchies and empires, usually it spells doom for them. But the history of constitutions is far more complicated than a revolutionary tool, in fact some of them were penned by monarchs themselves. Linda Colley is a professor of history at Princeton University. Her latest book, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions, and the Making of the Modern World is a deep dive into some of the most notable constitutions, how they came to be, and the impacts they have in today's world. Linda and Greg discuss how constitutions often borrowed and plagiarized constitutions before them, how the purpose of the documents has evolved over time, and how a constitution-less Britain still influenced so many other constitutions. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Do constitutions borrow from each other?05:16: Publishers started producing not just the text of one constitution; they started bundling together the texts of multiple constitutions. And these compendia became very useful for governments wanting to initiate or amend a constitution, particularly if they had to act quickly. Because they could say, "Oh, I really like that bit in Argentina's constitution." Or, "Oh, that Hawaiian constitution hits it on the spot." And if you analyze the makeup of some constitutions, the Norwegian constitution of 1814 is an extreme example. You can see them adopting sentences, sometimes whole paragraphs, because Norwegians had to act quickly before a Swedish army was moving in. So they had to do this in a matter of weeks. So they bought and acquired all these compendia of constitutions, and they just cut and pasted.The evolving role of constitutions21:37: So, constitutions, because they go into print and now go online, can work as advertisements and proclamations to foreign audiences—not just something that caters to domestic and legal purposes.The british identity49:51: In the British case, power and success have notably receded since the Second World War. There's been more uncertainty, therefore, about national identity and British identity. Hence, the independence movement in Scotland in part. And so, that's another factor that might influence future constitutional thinking. Given that some of the old props of national identity no longer work, would a statement of constitutional unity and definition be helpful?How lockdowns hurt the poorest countries48:15:The poorest countries reorganize their economies to fit in with the West. That's what brought a billion people out of poverty. The lockdowns essentially were a violation of that promise, right? What the West basically said was, "We're going to pull up the drawbridge because we're scared." And all of those trade promises we made to you were gone. The markets that we promised to you are gone, and the people at the lowest rungs of world society, meaning the poorest of the poor, became even poorer, and millions died as a consequence of that. On the first day of the lockdown, Prime Minister Modi of India ordered half a billion people to walk, bike, and find some way to go back from the city centers where they were working, migrant workers, to their home villages. And a thousand died en route that day. The life savings of those half a billion people were crushed overnight.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Thomas Babington MacaulayEric Foner“The United States' Unamendable Constitution” by Jill LeporeGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Princeton UniversityProfessional WebsiteHer Work:The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions, and the Making of the Modern World Britons: Forging the Nation 1707-1837Captives: Britain, Empire, and the World, 1600-1850The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World HistoryActs of Union and Disunion

All this and this week in radical history (which celebrates radical women such as Judy Bari, Berta Cáceres and Lucy Parsons). ————— Outro- “The Best Things in Life Are Free” by The Melbourne Ska Orchestra Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/DhE7zACh) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Joe Biden and the GOP response by Sen. Katie Britt (AL). They analyze the theatrics of the civic ritual - and how the chamber has turned into something more like the comments section on a YouTube video than a stately affair where all three of our branches of government gather. Brad draws on the work of Sara Moslener and Megan Goodwin to explain how Britt's response was a manifestation of the innocent White women myth and a form of contraceptive nationalism. In the second segment, Dan breaks down new data from PRRI on Christian nationalism. The two hosts explain how and why White Christian nationalists differ from their Black and Hispanic counterparts.

So much anger as President Joe Biden flubbed his way through another State of the Union address last night. Pro-Hamas activists attempt to stop Biden's motorcade to keep him from getting to the U.S. Capitol. How many lies were told at the State of the Union speech last night? Glenn Beck joins the show to give his thoughts about last night. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) gives an overly dramatic response to Biden's address. Could "hate speech" get you life in prison in Canada? Donald Trump provided a pre-buttal and RFK Jr. spoke last night as well. A tour of very strange people on the internet. The culprit for the largest wildfire in Texas history may have been identified.

In this edition of The ReidOut, Dr. Jason Johnson fills in for Joy Reid. We cover how a Manhattan grand jury is preparing to vote soon on an indictment of Donald Trump related to a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels. As we await their decision, there are several major developments on other fronts. A judge says the special counsel has provided sufficient evidence that Donald Trump committed a crime through his attorneys in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, and that Trump attorney Evan Corcoran should be compelled to tell a grand jury everything he knows about that alleged criminal conduct. Our legal and political experts discuss these matters and more. Plus, in this installment of our "State of Disunion" series, we cover how most Americans are concerned about about fair wages, affordable housing, solid schools that are safe and safe drinking water. Meanwhile, many Republicans are busy passing legislation targeting innocuous issues and minorities. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the observation: "How rich would it be if it is an extra-marital affair with a porn actress that sinks Donald Trump?" Joy and her legal expert guests discuss the Manhattan DA's office offering Trump a chance to testify--and what that possibly means. Also in this episode, we explain how Leonard Leo played a large role in pushing the courts to the far right. Now, he thinks the rest of American society needs a hard right turn. Joy and her panel discuss why he has a fundamental misundertanding of why the right is losing the culture wars. Plus, in the latest installment of our "State of Disunion" series, Joy details how political power is being wielded in states with one-party control. In Tennessee, Republicans are using it like a club, attacking the LGBTQ community. Yet, it is a much different story in Democratic-controlled Michigan. Finally: Joy agrees with Tucker Carlson--from 2009--in this suprising clip. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Is the U.S. on the brink of civil war? It's a question that has been in the air for a while now, as divisions continue to worsen. Beyond the political speeches and debates in the halls of Congress, it's something you're likely feeling in your day-to-day life. Vaccines, school curriculums, climate change, what you define as a human rights issue, even who you call a friend. Some say we've moved beyond the point of discussion. But when words fail, what comes next? In conversation with Malcolm Nance, Anne Applebaum, and Peniel Joseph, we take a deeper look at what we mean when we say civil war, how exactly the country reached this political moment, and where we go from here.
