The Reagan Revolution and “greed is good” remain in full swing, ushering in a level of wealth inequality that surpasses the Gilded Age.  "Progressives, especially, must recognize that pres erving constitutional freedoms depends on winning the fight for economic liberties. Treating them as separate goals will ultimately mean losing out on both," writes Caroline Fredrickson, the former president of the American Constitution Society, the Democrats' answer to Leonard Leo's Federalist Society and his $1.6 billion war chest. You've probably never heard of the American Constitution Society, because they haven't been as effective. In September, Fredrickson wrote a damning piece for The Atlantic explaining why, taking herself and other Democrats to task for packing our courts with corporate-friendly judges under recent Democratic administrations, including the current one. It seemed enough for Democrats that a judge was a woman, nonwhite, and cared about protecting reproductive healthcare. As a result, for decades, our courts have become a rubber stamp for rolling back regulations and defying antitrust laws. Even the Biden-appointed antitrust Elizabeth Warren protégé Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission, has been powerless against the corporate defenders packed on our courts. Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Jesse Eisinger of ProPublica, author of The Chicken Shit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives, explains that to undo the Reagan Revolution, prioritize appointing judges who will uphold antitrust laws and protect unions. To be true allies to women and nonwhite people, who are harder hit by economic downturns, fight for economic justice as the foundation for social justice. The Democrats need to get clear on that and respond with a robust judicial appointment strategy immediately, while there's still time.  This week's bonus show, available for our listeners at the Truth-tell level and higher, will feature questions and comments from our listeners at the Democracy Defender level and higher.

On October 15, Polish voters elected a new parliament, with a broad opposition coalition led by ex-Prime Minister Donald Tusk winning a majority of seats, according to official results published on Tuesday. If the opposition coalition is able to form a government, it will mean the end of the eight-year rule of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party. Under PiS, press freedom in Poland came under increasing pressure, with the government borrowing from the illiberal playbook of Hungary's Viktor Orbán. A report published by IPI and its MFRR partners last month documented how media capture and the widespread use of vexatious lawsuits have been used to create a hostile climate for independent journalism in the country. PiS was also widely seen as undermining the rule of law and judicial independence in Poland, which sparked an ongoing conflict with the EU. This edition of MFRR in Focus explores what the opposition's victory might mean for press freedom and the rule of law in Poland. Our guest is Aleksandra Sobczak, deputy editor-in-chief of Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's leading daily newspaper, which had a clear pro-opposition editorial line and has been vocal in its support for media freedom.  Guests: Aleksandra Sobczak, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Gazeta Wyborcza. Producer and Host: Karol Łuczka, Eastern Europe Advocacy and Monitoring Officer at IPI. Editor: Javier Luque, Head of digital communications at IPI.

Hungary's Viktor Orbán is known across the conservative landscape as the model illiberal leader that other aspiring politicians should emulate in the current quest to replace liberty and freedom with strong-armed, right-minded authoritarianism.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed law changing the judiciary is described as a reform. To opponents, it's a move to gut the independence of the Supreme Court as a check on executive power—and a move from the playbook of autocrats like Hungary's Viktor Orbán. The protests that followed are the largest in the country's history, and are now stretching into their third month. Ruth Margalit, who is based in Tel Aviv, covered the protests for The New Yorker, and she tells David Remnick that the strength and success of the protests so far has brought a sense of hope for many who were losing faith in the country's political future. “I think there is a sign of optimism. There is this potential for a kind of political realignment,” she says. “I do have some friends who were thinking of leaving and suddenly are saying, ‘Well, let's just see how this plays out.' And they suddenly feel that they have a role.” Remnick also speaks with Margalit's father, the political philosopher Avishai Margalit, about demographic and cultural factors driving Israeli politics. The nation has been moving to the right probably since the failure of the Oslo peace accords in the nineteen-nineties, but “the new element,” Avishai thinks, “is the strong fusion of religion and nationalism,” elements that were once kept separate in Israel. “The current government is utterly dependent on the votes of the religious and the ultra-religious,” he says. The big unknown, Ruth says, is whether the popular uprising will expand beyond the judicial reforms. “Let's say the fight over democracy is won—what happens then?” she says. “Can we branch out this fight over democracy? Can it include the West Bank and bring an end to the occupation?”

China, Russia, Communism, Dictatorship, and the United States: One of these things is not like the others, but for how long? Anne Applebaum, the Pulitzer-prize winning historian and staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Kasich & Klepper to discuss the ongoing threats on democracy across the globe, why authoritarianism continues to grow in popularity; the terrifying message that is spread by those in power like Hungary's Viktor Orbán, and what will be left of Russia and Ukraine after Putin.

When the New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz first heard that the Conservative Political Action Conference, the flagship event of the American conservative movement, was being held in Hungary, he thought it might be a joke. “A lot of people have worried for a few years now that the Republican Party is becoming more ambivalent about certain bedrock norms of American democracy,” Marantz told David Remnick. “To openly state, ‘We're going to this semi-authoritarian country' . . .  I thought it was maybe a troll.” But C.P.A.C. Hungary was very real, and the event demonstrated an increasingly close relationship between American conservatives and authoritarians abroad. Viktor Orbán wins elections and claims a democratic mandate, but his legislative maneuvers and rewrites to the constitution have rendered political opposition increasingly powerless. Marantz finds the admiration for him by many in America unsettling. “I couldn't really imagine a Putin-style takeover” of power in America, Marantz says; but “this kind of technical, legalistic Orbán model” seems all too plausible.

Photo: 4/4: Révolution Française, by Sophie Pedder.  @PedderSophie https://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Française-Emmanuel-Macron-reinvent/dp/1472948602 The extraordinary story of how an outsider candidate—an unknown technocrat and economics minister on the fringes of French politics—made his way to the Élysée palace, with expert analysis of his first year in office. Two years after Emmanuel Macron came from nowhere to seize the French presidency, Sophie Pedder, The Economist's Paris bureau chief, tells the story of his remarkable rise and time in office so far. In this paperback edition, published with a new foreword by the author, Pedder reflects on Macron's troubles and triumphs: his dwindling popularity: the 'gilets jaunes' protests and resulting civil unrest: his efforts to transform France and lead the global fight against climate change: the Benalla affair; his erratic relationships with Angela Merkel, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Theresa May, and the future of the European project.  On the eve of important European elections, and with nationalist and populist forces rising across the continent, she considers if Macron can hold the centre ground and defend the multilateral liberal order against the axis of such figures as Italy's Matteo Salvini and Hungary's Viktor Orbán. Pedder also analyses the domestic situation in France, the evolution of En Marche, and the fallout from Macron's controversial reforms. Meticulously researched and written in Pedder's gripping and immensely readable style, this is the essential, authoritative account for anyone wishing to understand Macron and the future of France in the world.

Highlights:   “This endorsement is very interesting because it reflects a growing phenomenon that scholars call the internationalizing of the nationalist right… President Trump is actively creating alliances between the patriot movement in the United States with the patriot movement in Hungary, as a way of pushing back against the far-left dynamics of liberal globalization.”“Viktor Orbán in many ways really is at the center of this rising internationalization of the patriot movement… There's no question that he is one of the most effective and important patriots on the world stage today, and his reelection will only confirm that.”Timestamps:   [02:37] President Trump endorsing Orbán and how the media hates Orban so much[04:15] What is the significance of this endorsement [06:00] How Orbán is at the center of the rising internationalization of the patriot movementResources: SIGN UP NOW for our Jan 14th and 15th PATRIOT LIVE VIRTUAL EVENT and get 85 PERCENT OFF Registration!

Two years after Emmanuel Macron came from nowhere to seize the French presidency, Sophie Pedder, The Economist's Paris bureau chief, tells the story of his remarkable rise and time in office so far. In this paperback edition, published with a new foreword by the author, Pedder reflects on Macron's troubles and triumphs: his dwindling popularity; the 'gilets jaunes' protests and resulting civil unrest; his efforts to transform France and lead the global fight against climate change; the Benalla affair; his erratic relationships with Angela Merkel, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Theresa May, and the future of the European project.  On the eve of important European elections, and with nationalist and populist forces rising across the continent, she considers whether Macron can hold the centre ground and defend the multilateral liberal order against the axis of such figures as Italy's Matteo Salvini and Hungary's Viktor Orbán. Pedder also analyses the domestic situation in France, the evolution of En Marche, and the fall-out from Macron's controversial reforms.
