Elon Musk is frequently on the move, but in his new role as Donald Trump’s wealthiest enforcer, he seems to be everywhere at once.

Then he’s back at Mar-a-Lago, huddling with Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban. Bloomberg political writer Josh Green joins Max Chafkin and Dana Hull to talk about these developments.

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Pardon power. Before he leaves office, President Biden has the constitutional authority to pardon anyone he chooses for federal crimes. Some Republicans argue that pardoning Donald Trump would "heal" the country.

And, raising alarms. Health experts warn that confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS Secretary could actually cost lives. We'll talk to Gov. Josh Green of Hawaii, a medical doctor who has first-hand experience with the consequences of RFK Jr.'s misinformation and conspiracy theories about childhood vaccinations. And the Watch List.

One of the little discussed sectors of multifamily investing is townhomes. Townhomes are easier to build than large apartment complexes, and they have strong appeal to certain segments of renters. Townhomes appeal more to families and attract stable, higher income households. Tenants also tend to stay longer in townhomes than traditional apartments. Josh Green, Co-founder of Traverse Capital, has many years of multifamily development experience, and is developing his first ground up townhome community in Southern Utah. Josh loves the economics of townhomes and will continue to develop and acquire existing townhome communities.

In the final episode of the polarization series, Kurt and Tim delve into "affective polarization," where emotional distrust, rather than ideological differences, has deepened the divide between political parties. Drawing on insights from the recent MIT conference, they explore how these negative feelings have escalated over time. Stanford postdoc Jan Voelkl shares eye-opening research showing a marked decline in positive feelings across party lines over the past few decades. But there's hope on the horizon! Kurt and Tim explore proven interventions aimed at reducing polarization by fostering cooperation and shared identities. Through game-based approaches and collaborative strategies, they demonstrate that cross-party cooperation is not only possible but achievable. Featured researcher Josh Green explains how his game-based method helps bridge the partisan divide, offering an optimistic outlook for improving political discourse. The duo also speaks with Kati Kirsch Bar-On, a postdoc at MIT, who provides a philosophical perspective on polarization and how we engage with one another, while Yph Lelkes offers historical context and a dose of optimism for the future based on the 2022 election results. The series concludes with a compassionate, forward-thinking conversation, offering practical strategies to critically assess polarized messaging and steps toward healing the growing political divide. © 2024 Behavioral Grooves Topics [0:00] Introduction: A final look at polarization [4:07] Hope for American democracy - Jan Voelkl [12:23] Game-based interventions - Josh Greene [20:28] Polarization: a philosophical perspective - Kati Kish Bar-On [28:28] History and hope: Yph Lelkes [31:54] Grooving session - America, democracy, and critical thinking [41:30] BONUS TRACK: Young scientists look at polarization - Miles and Isaac Rand © 2024 Behavioral Grooves Links Kati Kish Bar-on Jan Voelkl Josh Greene Yph Lelkes Register to Vote Here!
