Podcast appearances and mentions of Michelle Goldberg

Comme tous les mardis, nous retrouvons Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse. Le site d'information haïtien revient notamment sur le « Travel ban » qui interdit aux Haïtiens d'entrer sur le territoire américain. Quelle marge de manœuvre pour les autorités haïtiennes ? Le Conseil présidentiel de transition affirme vouloir négocier avec l'administration américaine pour retirer Haïti du Travel ban, comme l'annonce Alterpresse. Les mesures de Donald Trump interdisant aux ressortissants de 12 pays - dont Haïti - d'entrer sur le territoire américain ont pris effet ce lundi (9 juin 2025). Les autorités haïtiennes affirment vouloir donner des gages sécuritaires aux autorités américaines afin d'être retirées de la liste. Elles ont également affirmé vouloir garder une bonne relation avec les autorités américaines. Mais les marges de manœuvre restent limitées, précise Gotson Pierre. Les provocations de Donald Trump à Los Angeles dénoncées par les médiasLa situation en Californie continue de faire la Une de la presse aux États-Unis. Donald Trump ne s'est pas arrêté à l'envoi de la Garde nationale. Malgré les critiques, le président américain a choisi de muscler un peu plus encore son intervention avec l'envoi de 700 Marines et 2 000 membres supplémentaires de la Garde nationale.Ces troupes n'étaient pourtant pas nécessaires, affirme le Washington Post dans son édito titré «La meilleure façon de mettre fin à l'escalade à Los Angeles».Dès le premier paragraphe, le journal fait un parallèle avec l'assaut du Capitole par des partisans de Donald Trump, le 6 janvier 2021. Premier constat : «Les violences contre les forces de l'ordre doivent être poursuivies qu'elles soient dirigées contre les services de l'Immigration et des Douanes de Los Angeles ou contre la police du Capitole à Washington.» Mais pour le Washington Post, l'envoi notamment d'un bataillon de Marines en service actif sur place en renfort est une nouvelle provocation qui ne fera que prolonger la violence. « Comment désamorcer la situation à Los Angeles ? » Le Washington Post ne fait pas que pointer la responsabilité de Donald Trump. Il pointe un couple, le gouverneur démocrate de Californie et le président des États-Unis, qui semblent tous deux voir un avantage à se battre. Pour sortir de ce combat politique, les Américains devraient se tourner vers les tribunaux, avance-t-il.La fédéralisation de la Garde nationale contre l'avis du gouverneur d'un État dépend de l'Insurrection Act de 1807. Si Donald Trump l'invoquait officiellement, il ferait face à une contestation judiciaire lourde qui pourrait amener à des questions plus profondes sur les pouvoirs du président. Des réformes, notamment celles de l'Insurrection act, nécessaires depuis longtemps, estime la Washington Post. « Un aperçu de l'autocratie »Pour l'instant, ce à quoi les Américains assistent à Los Angeles est un «aperçu de l'autocratie», selon le New York Times. C'est le titre de l'édito de Michelle Goldberg. Si le Washington Post appelle les manifestants à rentrer chez eux pour éviter d'être pris dans un engrenage qui les dépasse, le New York Times lui appelle au soulèvement. Michelle Goldberg confie à ses lecteurs que l'envoi de troupes militaires par Donald Trump contre des opposants à sa politique anti-immigration était l'une de ses plus grandes peurs depuis son élection en novembre dernier. Mais la journaliste ne s'était pas imaginé un tel scénario avant même que l'opposition au président ne tourne réellement à la crise. Il n'y avait pas à Los Angeles un risque de rébellion contre l'autorité du gouvernement des États-Unis, affirme Michelle Goldberg. Hier, la police de Los Angeles a d'ailleurs affirmé que l'«arrivée de la Garde nationale sans aucune coordination représentait un défi logistique et opérationnel pour conserver la sécurité dans la ville.»«Le jour où des manifestations contre le roi mobiliseront tout le pays. J'espère que la tentative de Trump d'étouffer la protestation finira par l'alimenter, conclut l'éditorialiste du New York Times. Ceux qui veulent vivre dans un pays libre peuvent avoir peur, mais ils ne doivent pas être intimidés.» « Trump contre la grande ville hispanique »De l'autre côté de la frontière, au Mexique, el Universal consacre également son éditorial à l'évènement. «Trump contre la grande ville hispanique», titre l'éditorialiste Léon Krauze. Selon lui, ce n'est pas un hasard si Donald Trump cible Los Angeles. Elle incarne l'idéal d'une société pluraliste. C'est également la plus grande ville hispanique des États-Unis. Près de 47% des habitants s'identifient hispaniques. 60% des habitants communiquent en espagnol, en coréen, en arménien ou dans une longue liste d'autres langues. Si la Californie était un pays, elle serait la cinquième économie mondiale, précise également el Universal. Une force due en grande partie aux immigrants. Ils méritent d'être protégés, pas persécutés. Un procès « historique » contre l'ancien président brésilien BolsonaroLa Cour suprême brésilienne a commencé lundi les interrogatoires des principaux accusés dans le cadre du procès contre l'ancien président Jair Bolsonaro. Le principal intéressé n'a pas encore été entendu. Mauro Cid, son ancien collaborateur a confirmé les velléités putschistes de l'ex-président. Il avait passé un accord avec la justice en change d'une réduction de peine. Selon l'ancien militaire, Jair Bolsonaro, qui avait perdu les élections de 2022 face à Lula, avait envisagé de décréter l'« état de siège » à Brasilia et de convoquer de nouvelles élections. L'ancien président aurait même lu et modifié un projet de décret présenté par ses conseillers, qui prévoyait aussi l'arrestation de personnalités politiques et judiciaires, comme le juge de la Cour suprême Alexandre de Morales, la bête noire des bolsonaristes, justement en charge des interrogatoires.Jair Bolsonaro lui-même était présent sur le banc des accusés. Il devrait être interrogé ce mardi ou mercredi. Mais sa ligne de défense n'a pas changé : il nie toutes les accusations, comme il l'a réaffirmé à un groupe de journalistes pendant une pause de l'audience. Il affirme être victime d'une persécution politique.Il faudra attendre quelques mois pour connaître le verdict, mais c'est d'ores et déjà un procès historique. Les faits reprochés – tentative de coup d'État – sont très graves. Jair Bolsonaro, qui a toujours fait l'éloge de la dictature, encourt plus de 40 ans de prison en cas de condamnation. Ce procès montre que la démocratie brésilienne, que la justice brésilienne, fonctionnent. Une affaire qui s'impose en parallèle de la situation aux États-Unis, avec l'assaut du Capitole en 2021, le refus de Donald Trump de reconnaître sa défaite. Pour l'instant, le président américain a été épargné par la justice. Colombie – Miguel Uribe était-il suffisamment protégé ? En Colombie, le sénateur Miguel Uribe et candidat déclaré à la présidentielle de l'année prochaine, se trouve toujours entre la vie et la mort. Il a reçu deux balles dans la tête dimanche dernier (8 juin 2025) lors d'une attaque menée lors d'un meeting électoral. Son avocat affirme aujourd'hui que le candidat ne bénéficiait pas d'un dispositif de sécurité suffisante et a porté plainte contre l'unité nationale de protection de la police. « En 2025, nous avons fait plus de 23 demandes de renforcement de la sécurité du sénateur, rapporte Miguel Uribe. La dernière a été déposée le 5 juin dernier, mais on nous l'a refusé en affirmant qu'il n'y avait pas de risque ».Le directeur de cette unité de protection soutient que trois de ses agents étaient sur place, mais que quatre policiers réguliers les auraient épaulés. La procureure, qui confirme que le sénateur Uribe recevait le même niveau de protection que les autres parlementaires, et qu'il n'avait pas fait l'objet de menaces de mort. De son côté, le président Gustavo Petro a dénoncé une «réduction étrange» du dispositif de sécurité le jour de l'attentat.

In this powerful episode of The Puck, Jim Baer sits down with Michelle Goldberg—New York Times columnist, author, and longtime voice of progressive political commentary—for a deep and timely conversation. They explore how the Trump era reshaped institutional norms, the growing influence of conspiracy thinking, and the failures of both political parties to inspire and govern effectively. From Goldberg's early activism to her critiques of Gavin Newsom's media strategy, this discussion pulls no punches. They dive into the crisis of civic trust, the role of the media and social platforms in fueling division, and what it might take to inspire a new generation of political leadership. Whether you're left, right, or somewhere in between, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity in a chaotic time.

À l'occasion de son premier discours devant les élus américains depuis son retour au pouvoir, le président des États-Unis a déroulé le fil d'une Amérique en pleine « révolution du bon sens ». Il a commencé son intervention en expliquant que « l'Amérique est de retour », souligne le correspondant de RFI à Washington, Guillaume Naudin. Le président américain revendique le début de mandat le plus actif et le plus réussi de toute l'histoire américaine, avec 79 décrets signés et près de 400 décisions prises durant les 43 premiers jours. Une avalanche d'annonces et de décisions qui déborde à la fois la presse et ses adversaires politiques, qui sont pratiquement sans réaction. Mis à part le représentant du Texas, Al Green, qui a bruyamment contesté que Donald Trump ait un mandat clair du peuple américain et qui a d'ailleurs été escorté jusqu'à la sortie pour cela, ils n'étaient pas très bruyants et certains d'entre eux avaient boycotté ce discours. À part quelques panneaux assez discrets, les élus démocrates ont surtout fait la grève des applaudissements. Et d'ailleurs Donald Trump l'a bien remarqué et fait remarquer.« C'est mon 5è discours du genre au Congrès. Et une fois encore, je regarde les démocrates devant moi et je réalise qu'il n'y a absolument rien que je puisse dire pour les rendre heureux, ou les faire se lever, sourire ou applaudir. Il n'y a rien que je puisse faire. Alors les démocrates assis devant moi, pourquoi, juste pour un soir, ne pas vous joindre à nous pour célébrer tant d'incroyables victoires pour l'Amérique ? »Il n'a pas obtenu les applaudissements recherchés, mais, tradition oblige, il a eu droit au « rebuttal », la réponse fournie par la nouvelle sénatrice démocrate du Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, qui a fait carrière dans le renseignement. Elle est donc spécialiste des questions de sécurité. Mais elle est aussi capable de parler d'économie, comme l'a fait Donald Trump et voici ce qu'elle en dit :« Le président Trump essaie de faire un cadeau sans précédent à ses amis milliardaires. Il cherche des milliers de milliards de dollars à donner aux plus riches des Américains. Et pour faire ça, il va vous faire payer dans tous les domaines de votre vie. Les prix de l'alimentation et du logement augmentent. Ils ne baissent pas. Et il n'a pas proposé de plan pour régler l'un ou l'autre. Ses droits de douane contre des alliés comme le Canada vont faire monter les prix de l'énergie, du bois de construction et des voitures. Cela lance une guerre commerciale qui va toucher l'industrie et les agriculteurs. Le prix de vos traitements médicaux va augmenter parce qu'il n'a tout simplement pas l'argent nécessaire sans toucher à vos soins de santé. Et pendant ce temps, la dette augmente et s'il ne fait pas attention, il pourrait nous entraîner dans la récession » Enthousiasme des membres du Parti républicainMajoritaires à la Chambre et au Sénat, ils ont applaudi lorsque Donald Trump a dit que son prédécesseur Joe Biden avait été le pire président de l'Histoire. Ou quand il a salué Elon Musk et son travail avec le Département de l'efficacité gouvernementale (DOGE) pour détecter la fraude, en prenant l'exemple des abus dans les comptes de la Sécurité sociale, la retraite des personnes âgées les plus fragiles économiquement. Il veut récupérer l'argent indûment versé selon lui pour faire baisser les prix, les taux d'emprunt immobilier et redonner de l'argent aux Américains.Sur l'économie, il a aussi été question des droits de douane qui, « malgré quelques perturbations » - la bourse a par exemple effacé tous ses gains depuis le 20 janvier en 2 jours -, malgré cela, c'est selon lui bon pour le pays. Il se félicite des investissements annoncés par plusieurs entreprises. Des investissements, notamment dans le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle et de la fabrication de puces électroniques, qui sont évidemment réfléchis depuis un moment par les entreprises concernées et qui sont mis en scène depuis le début de son mandat.Donald Trumpconfirme par ailleurs qu'il veut reprendre le canal de Panama, sans évoquer directement l'option militaire comme il l'a déjà fait. Pas plus que pour le Groenland, pour lequel il renouvelle son intérêt économique et de sécurité, mais en se disant favorable à l'autodétermination des habitants. Enfin surtout, quelques jours après l'invraisemblable incident diplomatique du Bureau ovale, il annonce avoir reçu une lettre du président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky lui annonçant qu'il veut faire la paix sous sa direction à lui, qui continue à négocier avec la Russie et que l'Ukraine souhaite signer l'accord qui donne accès à ses minerais et terres rares aux États-Unis. Inquiétudes pour l'économie américaine ?Le Wall Street Journal, publication conservatrice et libérale, passe ce discours au tamis avec six éditorialistes qui en ressortent plutôt satisfaits : « Expansion du forage pétrolier, chasse au gâchis dans l'administration fédérale, répression du crime dans les centres urbains, expulsion de sans-papiers… Les 4/5èmes de ce discours sont des mesures largement soutenues par les Américains ».Mais l'exercice se corse quand il s'agit des droits de douane. Sur ce point, « son discours sonnait comme au bon vieux temps du protectionnisme », tacle le Wall Street Journal. « Difficile d'entendre parler de victoire pour les consommateurs américains lorsque, par exemple, M. Trump rend les importations de fruits et légumes encore plus cher. Vu à quel point les électeurs en voulaient à Joe Biden pour la hausse des prix, Donald Trump a peut-être tendance à minimiser le risque politique quand il annonce une « légère perturbation » en matière commerciale. »Au passage, petite gifle pour les démocrates, les plumes du Wall Street Journal s'en donnent à cœur joie : « Avec leurs phrases toutes faites sur quelques pancartes, comme «Musk est un voleur» ou «Faux», les démocrates avaient l'air plutôt ridicules. Sans parler de ces élues habillées en rose pour protester contre les mesures de Donald Trump envers les femmes. Tout ce que les Démocrates ont mis en œuvre hier soir dans l'hémicycle nous confirme une fois de plus pourquoi ils ont perdu au mois de novembre ».Et les signatures du New York Times ne sont pas loin de penser la même chose, prenons Michelle Goldberg pour n'en citer qu'une : « les démocrates n'auraient tout simplement pas dû venir. Et quitte à y aller, pourquoi se munir de ces pancartes stupides. Si ce n'est pour servir de faire-valoir à un autocrate trop content de couper l'Amérique en petits morceaux ». Fin du TPS et recours en justiceParmi les dizaines de procédures judiciaires intentées contre l'administration Trump depuis le 20 janvier, il y a ces recours contre la fin programmée du TPS (Temporary Protected Status). Joe Biden avait étendu ce dispositif d'accueil jusqu'en février 2026 pour les ressortissants haïtiens, mais la nouvelle Maison Blanche ne veut plus en entendre parler et a choisi d'inverser cette décision, il y a quinze jours. Par conséquent, au-delà du 3 août 2025, tous les Haïtiens présents aux États-Unis par le biais du TPS risquent de se retrouver dans l'illégalité.Quatre d'entre eux, appuyés par trois organisations, viennent d'attaquer cette décision. NBC News cite l'un des leurs avocats : l'idée de supprimer le TPS pour Haïti et le Venezuela « répond à des préoccupations raciales et n'a aucune considération pour la réalité de ce que vivent ces communautés ». Son principal argument juridique : l'actuelle administration américaine n'a pas le pouvoir de revenir sur le délai déjà gravé dans le marbre par l'équipe Biden. L'agriculture en Haïti en dangerLes conséquences de la crise sécuritaire se font particulièrement sentir chez les agriculteurs haïtiens qui ne peuvent plus vendre leur production. Les routes sont trop dangereuses, contrôlées par les gangs qui rackettent les voyageurs et les cargaisons de fruits et de légumes ne parviennent pas jusqu'aux grandes villes. Conséquence : les producteurs perdent de l'argent et les chauffeurs de camions ne travaillent plus. C'est le cas notamment dans la commune de Fonds-Verrettes, à l'est de Port-au-Prince. Reportage de Peterson Luxama à réécouter dans son intégralité dans l'édition du jour. L'actualité des Outre-mer avec nos confrères de la 1èreEn Martinique, le roi du carnaval s'est embrasé à Fort-de-France avec 24 heures d'avance, accidentellement et à la grande stupéfaction des spectateurs présents lors du défilé du Mardi gras.

As the second Trump administration dismantles federal DEI programs and removes trans Americans from the military, the crusade on “wokeness” seems to be a core focus of the president's second term. In this encore episode, host Jerusalem Demsas speaks with the New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg about the end of wokeness and why we might miss it when it's gone.  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

On this special edition of the Munk Debates podcast, we are bringing you the best moments from the Munk Debate on media bias, which took place in the fall of 2020 in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall. This is a debate that went viral on social media - it spoke to a vast number of people whose growing distrust in legacy media was finally being addressed. Recent polls show that one third of Americans have low confidence in the mainstream media, while another third distrust it altogether. Canadian polls show similar numbers. How did we get to this point? Listen to this debate to find out. Arguing in favour of the resolution, Be it Resolved, don’t trust mainstream media, was the associate editor of The Spectator magazine, Fox News contributor, and bestselling author Douglas Murray. He was joined on stage by Substack publishing sensation, former Rolling Stone contributing editor, and investigative journalist, Matt Taibbi Arguing against the resolution was the internationally acclaimed author, podcaster and veteran New Yorker staff writer, Malcolm Gladwell. His debate partner was Michelle Goldberg, New York Times columnist and MSNBC contributor.

The mailbag episode is here! Thanks to all who sent questions, and apologies to those who didn't get answers. We hoped to get through more, but brevity isn't our strong suit and we ran out of time. But the answers we DID deliver are choice, in our opinion.We touch on:* Ezra Klein's terribly wrong ideas about the political impact of blue-state and blue-city misgovernance;* What Donald Trump's attempt at an unconstitutional third term will look like IF he tries;* How Biden could go out with a bang, even without relying on presidential immunity (but probably won't);* Matt's candid thoughts about Pod Save America (as Brian demurs).This episode is free to all, a small token of gratitude to all of our subscribers this holiday season for making this podcast possible. We'll do more of these in the coming year, and if you want your questions answered (or at least included in a lengthy Google document that we might not get through in the allotted time) you know what to do: Further reading:* Brian offers a new, important reason people should reset their relationships with social media. * Michelle Goldberg on this great capitulation.* Greg Sargent discusses the challenges of rebuilding in this climate with Ben and other DNC candidates, Ken Martin, and Martin O'Malley.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThe mailbag episode will have to wait, but for good reason! An opportunity arose for us to interview Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair (and DNC chair candidate) Ben Wikler. So we jumped on it—and warmly extend an invitation to other DNC chair candidates to join us in the new year.In this episode, Matt and Brian ask Ben:* What he thinks happened in the election, and whether the lessons are actionable for a DNC chairman;* What does the DNC and its chairman actually do;* How to tell a good, effective political operative from placeholders and check cashers;* If he's prepared the dirty tricks and abuses of power that Donald Trump might direct at Democratic Party leaders, including him.Then, behind the paywall, a lengthy exploration of and primal scream about Nancy Pelosi's decision to whip votes against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, blocking her from becoming the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, in favor of 74-year old, cancer-stricken Gerry Connolly. Why would AOC have been a better opposition leader on this committee? What does the episode portend for Democratic infighting and grand strategery going forward? And most importantly, wtf was Pelosi thinking?!All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.

Despite making a promise of lowering prices an inflation a central part of his presidential campaign, and admitting that that promise was key to his being elected, Donald Trump is now waffling on whether that's even possible. Michelle Goldberg, columnist for the New York Times, and Faiz Shakir, founder and executive director of More Perfect Union, talk with Alex Wagner about Trump's walk back and what his post-election rhetoric suggests about his actual economic priorities.

Please send any guest recs, dissents, and other comments to dish@andrewsullivan.com. Our episode with Sam Harris last week was a smash hit, driving more new subs than any other guest in a while. A fan writes:I always really like your conversations with Sam Harris. You always seem to bring out the best in each other.A listener dissents:On your episode with Sam Harris — besides the fact that it was an “interview” of you, not him — your insistence that Harris and Biden haven't done anything about immigration needs more investigation. For example, see this new piece in the NYT:The Opinion video above tells the little-known story of how Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris worked behind the scenes to get the border crisis under control. I found that they acted strategically, out of the spotlight, since the earliest days of the administration. They even bucked their own party and fulfilled Republican wishes, though they've gotten little credit for it. Their hard work finally paid off when illegal crossings dropped significantly this year.Sam said toward the end of the episode, “I hope we haven't broken the Ming vase here. … We both want a Harris presidency. … It's the least bad option.” I listen to Kamala all the time, and your rants against her are warranted and should be done, but honestly, the two of you have done more to smash the bloody vase than carry it!I tried to make it through that NYT op-ed video. It's an absurdist piece of administration spin. There was nothing to stop Biden enforcing his 2024 executive order in 2021. He didn't because his core policy is expediting mass migration, not controlling it. As for Harris, it's not my job to be her campaign spokesman. I know a lot of legacy journalists seem to think it's their job to push her over the finishing line. But that has never been my thinking. I'd like both Trump and Harris to lose. But if I had to pick one, it would be Trump. The idea of four years of Harris is soul-sucking.Sam is also putting the episode on his own podcast, so the conversation was intended to be a two-way “interview” — though the Dishcast in general is always meant to be a conversation. On the following clip, a listener writes:You're absolutely right. But this is so obvious, and the fact that Harris can't articulate what would clearly be advantageous to her indicates she is incapable of clearly articulating positions. She's turned out to be the same horrid candidate she was in 2019. Unfortunately.Another writes about that clip, “As a prosecutor she makes a great case against voting for Trump, but she doesn't have the defense attorney skills needed to make the case for herself.” This next listener has an idea for a Sister Souljah moment:Sam asked you what Harris could do in the final stretch, and you both agreed that she needed to show some independence from Biden and also distance herself from the craziness of the woke left. I want to point you to my latest Substack post, which points out an opportunity she currently has to do both in one press conference.In the past couple of weeks, the Biden Justice Department has sued the Maryland State Police, the Durham Fire Department, and the South Bend Police Department over “racially disparate”  employment tests. They are testing skills such as literacy, basic math, and the ability to communicate, all in the context of doing the actual job. The DOJ is calling it discrimination because black people do worse on the test than white people. There is also a physical test where you have to prove you have the minimum level of fitness to do the job, and the DOJ calls that sexist because fewer women are able to pass.This is obviously complete insanity. Anyone but the wokest of the left understand that these jobs require standards, and that implementing any objective standards is likely to have a disproportionate impact on race and gender. While Maryland and Durham quickly settled the suits and signed consent decrees, South Bend is fighting it. South Bend is, of course, the hometown of former mayor Pete Buttigieg. Harris could schedule a campaign event in South Bend with Mayor Pete where she defends the South Bend police and pledges that a Harris administration will drop this suit and not prosecute any similar cases. This could be a “Sister Souljah moment,” as Sam called for. It would also show independence from Biden, since his DOJ has been filing these suits. It could bring the last few undecideds over to her side. Dream on, I'm afraid. This kind of race discrimination and abandonment of objective standards in hiring is at the heart of Harris' leftism. She hasn't renounced it. Au contraire. Here's another clip from the Sam pod:Another listener writes:I happen to subscribe to both the Dishcast and Sam's podcast, so I know you both well. I'm so surprised that you two can't understand the appeal of Trump to one half of the country. Let's be honest and clear: Trump voters care LESS about preserving the system as-is (the peaceful transfer of power) than about RESCUING the nation from the cancer of woke. It is almost completely cultural.Trump supporters despise the anti-white, anti-male, anti-Christian hatred that has been so deeply ingrained into our daily lives. We all live in terror for wrong thought and wrong speech. We feel disgust for being called racist, misogynist, xenophobic — with the knowledge that woke progressives control the apparatus of power in our media, corporations, entertainment, and education. It is cancer when our entire body politic has been so thoroughly invaded by this malignant force.We are sick of this cancer. Sick. Sick. Sick. Kamala is a shill of this force. Her tepid disavowals (and convenient pivot to the center) are not genuine. We know who she is. She protects and metastasizes this cancer into every touchpoint of our lives. Sam says she is “no woke Manchurian candidate,” but he is wrong. Even if he IS right, why should we trust her when she so clearly made her wokeness clear in 2019? We shouldn't.The left is cancer. Trump is radiation. No one wants cancer and no one wants the radiation, but that's where we are.I feel you. I do. It's what makes this election so painful for me. Another listener comments on “the subject of why the Democrats and Harris can't say what the majority of Americans want to hear on issue after issue”:Isn't the fundamental problem very simply that the Overton window of the Democratic Party doesn't allow it? Harris may know that Americans want to hear a defense of fracking, but can a Dem really speak in favor of fracking at a San Francisco dinner party and expect to be invited back? Can a Dem really speak against the trans activist position? Against DEI? Against abuse of asylum rules at the Southern border? Of course not. Those are not acceptable positions in Dem activist and donor circles. Contra what Michelle Goldberg tried to say when she was on your podcast, or what Rahm Emanuel told Sam Harris, the activist position sets the limits of acceptable discourse among Democrats.All of us who live in NPR-listening land know this. I would never say what I actually think about gender revolutionaries at a social gathering in my left-liberal community, because it'd be the last social event I'd ever attend. It might be safe to talk about the need for some actual policing these days — that issue might get a few cautious nods — but everyone in the room would be nervous, because who knows if one of these guests we've never met before who works at a nonprofit is going to turn out to be a social justice activist and trot out “systemic racism” and the carceral state and all the rest of it. Maybe Rahm and Michelle are right that most Democrats don't actually buy most of far-left activist thinking, but that doesn't mean it's okay to disagree. And remember, most Democrats are riddled with guilt about everything: climate change, systemic racism, patriarchy, theft of land from Indigenous peoples … it's all our fault, isn't it? So we need to be humble, check our privilege, and listen to the activists and their moral truths.By the way, I listened to your podcast with Sam only a week after finishing Tom Holland's Dynasty — about Caesar Augustus and his heirs through Nero. I know comparisons between America and ancient Rome can get tiring, but holy s**t: an elite appealing to the masses not as one of them, but as their tribune? Check. Entertainment value winning the day every time over serious speeches by humorless patrician elites? Check. Amusing the plebs by publicly humiliating the most esteemed senators, reducing them to flattery and groveling? Check.  I'm not saying Trump is knowledgeable enough to copy a Caesar's playbook intentionally, but he seems to have stumbled on a remarkably similar (and similarly effective) approach.I have explored the Roman parallels myself. One more listener on the episode:The conversation with Sam Harris was really what we need right now: insightful and often humorous in light of the grave situation we face. It's not Trump I'm afraid of; it's everyone else. If Trump does not win, I fear there will be violence — and he won't even have to call for it this time. Whether it's business or politics, the leader sets the tone, and Trump's tone is angry and permissive of trampling perceived enemies. I don't think it's a stretch to predict self-formed Trump militias springing up as a pretense to defend election integrity, hunt down illegal migrants, or generally “keep order” where another organization has failed to do so. I pray that I'm wrong. Another thing to consider is that if Trump loses, we won't be rid of him. He's controlled the Republican Party and influenced the culture wars for the last four years, and we won't see that endSam brought up Nixon, and it's something I've been thinking a lot about in the Trump years. Watergate — the foolish break-in itself — was nothing compared to what Trump has said and done since 2016, but the scandal took down the president because the public perceived that the president's behavior was reprehensible to the office. Nixon KNEW he lied and had enough integrity to actually resign over it. I was a kid then and can remember how appalled people were by Watergate and thought of Nixon as a disgrace. How things have changed in 50 years.I'm also worried about leftist violence if Trump wins. Another writes, “I thought your episode with Tina Brown was tremendous”:She's an exceptionally astute and admirable woman. I immediately took out a full year to her new substack. It was touching to listen to the account of her model marriage to Harold Evans (I think the Sunday Times was at its greatest when he was the editor). And the description of her autistic son and their time together shows her to be a beautiful, loving mother, as well as a towering intellect.I particularly appreciated the comparison you both made of US to UK politicians:Like you, Andrew, I studied at Oxford in the mid-1980s and always felt that institutions like the Oxford Union (where I saw you, Boris, and Micheal Gove perform, amongst others), and later Prime Minister's Question Time, toughened up UK politicians to a degree that is unheard of in the US. I actually had the pleasure of witnessing Question Time live when Thatcher was PM. What struck me was not only the substantive issues raised during those sessions, but also the sheer brilliance of the repartee. Thatcher gave as good as she got, and she made mincemeat of the Labour opposition. Question Time compared to the deliberations of the fatuous Congress is like comparing Picasso's work to that of a 5-year-old finger painter. It doesn't even bear thinking about how Biden would cope in an environment like that, let alone Trump. Both you and Tina come from that glorious UK debating tradition, and it shines through consistently throughout the episode.My massive disappointment when I first watched the US House and Senate was related to this. So unutterably tedious. Another on the Tina pod:If not too late, perhaps this will offer some help to Tina Brown, as your other listeners have suggested communities for adults with special needs: Marbridge in Austin, TX. Our daughter is only 12 and she has a rare genetic condition that basically means she will not be able to fully integrate into society. We are in the process of learning about opportunities for her to have some level of independence as she ages, if she so desires.Here's a suggestion for a future guest:I'm glad you are gaining new subscribers, but I think it may be time to cull the herd and have on someone who will make the smugs' blood boil. The brilliant and caustic Heather Mac Donald — one of a few prominent conservatives to excoriate Trump for January 6th — is scrupulously honest yet merciless in attacking left-wing hypocrisies on topics ranging from race and policing to the DEI takeover of classical music.She sure is. Amy Wax anyone? Another rec:I know you have quit Twitter somewhat, so I am not sure if you know who Brianna Wu is, but I strongly suggest looking her up. Bari Weiss just interviewed her:I think you and Wu would be absolutely fantastic, and I think you would really like her — as would Dishheads.Yep, great rec — we're already planning to reach out to Wu. Another plug for a trans guest:In case you didn't see it, here's an interesting interview with a trans man, Kinnon MacKinnon, who researches detransition. I found it refreshing to hear someone speak about detransition from an empirical perspective. It's a real phenomenon that to date has either been denied by trans activists or turned into red meat for the right-wing. A fact of logic so often forgotten is that two things can be true at the same time. Thus, adults who are truly trans should be allowed to live the lives they want; AND society should protect children against fervent trans activists who would rush them into radical “gender-affirming care.” The reality of sex (as opposed to gender) needs to be more firmly established in the public's understanding. In short, we need more honest brokers in the discussion about trans issues if we are ever going to find the proper balance between allowing adults to make their own life decisions and respecting biological females on issues where sex (not gender) should be the overriding variable on which to make public policy and healthcare decisions. I don't know if Kinnon MacKinnon is truly an honest broker, but he seems to have potential. Perhaps you could consider him for a Dishcast.I passionately defend the right of trans adults to do whatever they need to make their lives as fruitful as possible. It's children — and children alone — I'm concerned with. On the topic of sex-changes for kids, a frequent dissenter writes:When confronted with evidence that only a minuscule percentage of kids in the US are being prescribed puberty blockers and hormones in the late 2010s, it's an artless dodge to try to reframe the discussion around the experiences of 124 kids who presented at a UK gender clinic in the 1990s, the vast majority of whom never transitioned at all. You cannot use that data to imply that the majority of kids being prescribed puberty blockers in America today are actually gay kids destined for detransition and regret. You are distorting the facts to fit your narrative.Time and time again, the evidence shows that there is no epidemic of “transing” gay youth.

It was beautiful, it was awesome, and it was tough! And as it turned out for both of us, our race ended just past the 50K mark. Check out the full episode to hear how we prepared, what went well, and what ultimately led to the decision to pull the plug.

Yet alongside these doom loops, somewhat anomalously, something good is happening: the transition away from fossil fuels to clean, carbon-free energy is underway, and it is accelerating every day. That transition has become an enormous, sprawling meta-story. It spans the entire economy, from heavy industry to tech to retail. It's unfolding on every level of government, from local zoning boards to the federal government to international treaties. It involves technology, politics, policy, psychology, even philosophy. It's a lot to track. At Volts, I track it. I follow the news, read the trade publications and research reports, talk to the engineers and policy staffers, and think hard about the larger political and social context. Rather than the broad-and-shallow view offered by most publications, I sift through the flotsam for what matters and then go deep on it. The goal is not quantity of information but quality of understanding. I have been reading, writing, and thinking pretty intensely about this subject matter for over 15 years now. Most recently, from 2015 to 2020, I was with Vox, a news and culture publication for which I still occasionally write. Before that, I was with Grist, a publication focused on environmental news, where I was hired in 2004. Over those 15+ years I've written for other publications (like Outside) and appeared on a variety of TV shows, radio programs, and podcasts, like All In with Chris Hayes and On the Media and Pod Save America and Why Is This Happening? I've been quoted or cited by all kinds of fancy-pants people, from Al Gore to several US senators to pundits like Michelle Goldberg and Paul Krugman and Jon Favreau and Tom Friedman to media analysts like Margaret Sullivan and Jay Rosen to climate writers like Elizabeth Kolbert and Bill McKibben and David Wallace-Wells. As for my pre-professional life, here it is in one paragraph: I grew up in a small town in Tennessee, went to a small liberal arts college in another small town in Tennessee, and then, when I graduated, lit out west. I spent a while in Montana getting an MA in Philosophy (with a minor in snowboarding), then went to work on a PhD at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton (three hours north of Calgary, which is three hours north of the border). Edmonton was too cold and academic philosophy was too bleak, so in 1999 I bailed and lit out to Seattle. After a period of professional drift but personal joy (including a wife and a child), I stumbled into the Grist job by sheer luck in 2004. (I happened to see it the first time I ever visited Craigslist.) Been writing ever since. Now I live in Seattle with my wife, two teens, two dogs, and two cats.  Pete on Tik Tok Pete on YouTube Pete on Twitter Pete On Instagram Pete Personal FB page Stand Up with Pete FB page All things Jon Carroll Follow and Support Pete Coe Buy Ava's Art

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': For the first time in American history, a former president has been convicted for his criminal behavior, while still serving as the presumptive Republican nominee for President. Donald Trump calls the verdict "rigged" and himself “a political prisoner." But here's the thing; he's not in prison. And outrage in the MAGA world: Trump's allies, including the House Speaker and several potential Republican vice presidential candidates, are blasting the verdict and unleashing dangerous rhetoric against the justice system and our democracy itself. We'll talk about it all -- the prosecution and the politics -- with Rep. Maxine Waters of California and Politics Nation host, the Rev. Al Sharpton. We also have MSNBC political analysts Michelle Goldberg and Tim Miller and former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori lend their thoughts. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
