Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – Today, some churches promote political agendas from the pulpit rather than focusing solely on God's Word. I believe clergy are called to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ above all else. It is generally considered appropriate to separate political commentary from religious services, as a church service is widely viewed as an occasion for spiritual focus rather than...

How did political parties in Iran lose the public's trust—and what comes next? This episode examines the trajectory of political participation in Iran since the 1979 revolution, from revolutionary zeal and reformist hope to disillusionment and civic disintegration. With the rise of a younger generation seeking ethical engagement over partisan loyalty, Iran's political future may lie not in factions, but in a renewed civic culture grounded in truth, trust, and responsibility.

On a recent WhoWhatWhy podcast, I spoke with Princeton historian Julian Zelizer who offers a provocative argument from his new book In Defense of Partisanship. At a time when nearly a third of Americans view both major parties with disgust and many blame partisan loyalty for our democratic decay, Zelizer says that strong, disciplined political parties — not feel-good Biden-style bipartisanship — have historically been crucial to America's greatest achievements. The problem isn't that parties fight hard for their beliefs; it's that we've lost the guardrails that once transformed partisan combat into incremental but lasting progress.  

Conventional wisdom says that a strong economy helps incumbents, while a weak economy hurts them. But new research from University of Chicago economist Lubos Pastor titled “Political Cycles and Stock Returns” challenges this idea, suggesting that economic downturns actually push voters toward Democrats, while economic booms favor Republicans.If true, this theory could explain decades of presidential elections—and even the stock market's historic tendency to perform better under Democratic administrations. But does the data back it up?

Why does Congress feel more divided than ever? Are politicians genuinely becoming more extreme, or is something else at play? In this episode, we take on the polarization debate with a twist. Anthony Fowler sits down with University of Chicago political scientist Daniel Moskowitz to uncover new data that challenges conventional wisdom in his paper “Parsing Party Polarization In Congress”. Forget the usual finger-pointing at voters or roll-call votes—this research digs into a little-known survey that reveals the hidden dynamics driving Congress apart.

From the moment a Norfolk Southern ‘bomb train' derailed in East Palestine, OH, on February 3, 2023, traumatized and chemically exposed residents became another political football to be kicked around by Republicans, Democrats, and the media. Nearly two years since the avoidable catastrophe that changed their lives forever, residents in and around East Palestine and their families have been left to live in a toxic “sacrifice zone.”Like in 2020, the majority of voters in this part of Ohio and Pennsylvania will likely vote for Donald Trump in 2024, though plenty have given up on the whole system. In this on-the-ground documentary report, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez and Steve Mellon from the Pittsburgh Union Progress go to East Palestine to speak with residents face to face, deep in the heart of so-called “Trump Country,” and what they find is a stark reminder that working-class communities have way more in common than corporate media and corporate politicians want us to believe. Filmed and directed by: Mike BalonekPre-Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Mike Balonek, Steve MellonPost-Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Mike Balonek, Jocelyn Dombroski, David Hebden, Kayla RivaraHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Christians have lost their way when it comes to the intersection of faith and politics. It has led to broken families and strained relationships. Yet, Jesus calls us to be leaders in reconciliation, to be salt and light in a divided world. We need this both within the church and as we engage with the broader community. Our goal is to equip you with humility and hope in this challenging political climate. Today we talk about moving beyond partisan politics by focusing on relationships Support the show

The Founders designed the U.S. Senate to preserve the state sovereignty and keep the federal government in check. However, the ratification of the 17th Amendment severed the direct connection between state legislatures and their representatives in Congress. This lesson explores the dangers of placing party loyalty above constitutional principles and the impact it has had on state sovereignty and the functioning of the Republic.

Public schools have long been a battleground for the right. But since the Covid pandemic, the right has had the wind at its back, enlarging its ranks with parents frustrated by school closings and masking mandates. Education journalist Laura Pappano discusses how the far right has sowed panic over library books, gender neutral bathrooms, and the supposed teaching of Critical Race Theory — not just to take over school boards, but to cast doubt on the value of public education itself.

KINGDOM COME Week 3 with Lead Pastor Jason Britt. Pastor Jason answers the question: What does it look like to be KINGDOM MINDED in an election cycle, in an age of division and partisanship?

Join me for a one-on-one discussion with pollster, Brett Loyd, of the Independent Center.

In his long short story or very short novella entitled “The Man Without a Country,” Edward Everett Hale describes his protagonist Philip Nolan as a young man from the Mississippi Valley who “had grown up in the West of those days, in the midst of ‘Spanish plot', ‘Orleans plot', and all the rest. He had been educated on a plantation where the finest company was a Spanish officer or a French merchant from Orleans.” Nolan was, in other words, a young man who was used to foreign serpents in the western Eden. Little wonder, then, that in the story he participated in a conspiracy against a United States that he barely knew. In his new book Serpent in Eden: Foreign Meddling and Partisan Politics in James Madison's America,  Tyson Reeder shows the reality behind a story published in 1863. For over forty years, James Madison was near the heart of American politics, perhaps entitled to be called the chief architect of both the Constitutional system and then of the party system that he had just a few years before decried. Intimately linked with both of these innovations were the influences of Spain, Great Britain and France, all eager to direct the young republic in ways that would benefit their interests in the Americas.  Tyson Reeder is Assistant Professor of History at Brigham Young University. He was previously  an editor of the Papers of James Madison at the University of Virginia, and author of Smugglers, Pirates, and Patriots: Free Trade in the Age of Revolution (2019). For Further Investigation This episode is connected to a great many other episodes in the last year, in one way or another. See Episode 366 with Andrew Burstein; Episode 352, on Tecumseh as a great American strategist; and Episode 344, on America's founding scoundrels

In this lecture, Tyson Reeder traces early America's rocky beginnings, when foreign interference and political conflict threatened to undermine its aspirations and ideals, even its very existence. Spanning the period from the Revolution to the War of 1812, and focusing particularly on the career of James Madison, it reveals a nation adjusting to rancorous partisan politics, aggravated by the untested and imperfect new tools of governance and the growing power of media.* Thanks to The Society of the Second War with Great Britain in the State of New York and The State of New York Society, United States Daughters of 1812 for co-sponsoring this event. This lecture was recorded as part of Fraunces Tavern Museum's Evening Lecture series on Monday, August 12, 2024. *The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. or its Fraunces Tavern® Museum.

Year(s) Discussed: 1781-1815 The early republic was a tumultuous time for the United States both domestically and in the realm of diplomacy, and one man who rather consistently found himself at the center of its all in the nation's first few decades was James Madison. In my discussion with Tyson Reeder about his new book, Serpent in Eden: Foreign Meddling and Partisan Politics in James Madison's America, we discuss Madison's role in the public sphere and government policy in the late 18th and early 19th century as well as how various foreign powers worked to manipulate Madison and his American contemporaries for their own ends.

The episode kicks off with a critical look at former President Donald Trump's ongoing criminal trial in New York, emphasizing the controversial and potentially partisan nature of the prosecution. Wright poses a thought experiment to underline the potential biases in the judicial process based on political affiliations. The discussion then shifts to the U.S. southern border, where recent statistics show a decrease in illegal crossings, which the Biden administration attributes to its policies. Wright questions the celebration of these numbers, pointing out the ongoing challenges and implications of border management. Internationally, the episode covers Germany's shift in migration policy due to rising crime rates among migrant populations, linking it to broader European dissatisfaction with open border policies. In Africa's Sahel region, Wright updates on the geopolitical shifts with Russia's increasing influence at the expense of Western presence, highlighting the strategic importance of mineral resources and the complex interplay of local and international forces. The episode also touches on tragic events in Australia, where recent stabbing attacks have reignited debates on knife control and mental health issues. Finally, Wright discusses the role of remittances in supporting economies in Central America and critiques governance in the region as a driver of migration. Throughout the episode, Wright intertwines factual reporting with insightful analysis, offering listeners a deep dive into the complexities of each topic while maintaining a focus on the broader implications for American policy and global stability.

"God is never going to betray you—even if the church does.” So says Nancy French, best-selling author and investigative journalist, on this episode of The Russell Moore Show. French, who is known for her groundbreaking reporting on abuse at one of America's largest Christian camps, joins Moore to discuss her new memoir, Ghosted. French talks about growing up in the Bible Belt, where she was sexually abused as a child by her Vacation Bible School teacher. She and Moore discuss the importance of righteous responses to people who have been harmed, the ways institutions too often cover up abuse, and how all of this shows up in partisan politics. Their conversation highlights the power of love—specifically in the case of Nancy's marriage to David French—in healing from trauma. Moore and French also talk about French's experiences ghostwriting for high-profile families such as the Palins and the Romneys. They talk about shifts in political culture, the state of racism in America, and what it's like to be part of a church family that is primarily made up of people outside of one's ethnic culture. Their conversation also touches on adoption, online discourse, and the incredible work that God can do through personal relationships.

While marketed as a grassroots parent movement, we learn Moms for Liberty is well-funded by far-right groups aiming to shift the political balance of local school boards. Laura recounts the transformation from 2022 to 2023 summits, with protestors surrounding the latter event in Philadelphia amid heightened tensions. The conversation highlights how extremist tactics like book bans and policies stripping educator authority threaten public education's democratic foundations. We explore the concerning nationalization of these trends, with local school boards becoming partisan battlegrounds disconnected from community needs. However, Laura reminds us public schools remain vital unifying spaces for children's growth and identity development. While imperfect, the system provides an essential community fabric to nurture, not destroy. By coming together, valuing expertise, and rejecting disinformation, we can preserve quality public education. The stakes are high, but our potential for positive impact as engaged citizens remains.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency became a conservative target in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. Now, those same politician tensions are causing some private sector experts to retreat from a key program meant to defend U.S. infrastructure against  hackers. On POLITICO Tech, reporter John Sakellariadis delves into the partisan politics that is undermining U.S. cybersecurity.  

School boards used to be an anodyne way to get involved, but they've turned into hotbeds of political activity. Education journalist Laura Pappano joins host Krys Boyd to discuss this evolution – which dates back to at least the 1990s – and how school boards are now ground zero for much of the culture wars. Her book is “School Moms: Parent Activism, Partisan Politics, and the Battle for Public Education.”

House Republicans are pressing ahead with efforts to impeach both President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas. Only one cabinet official has ever been impeached, in 1876.

We're officially back in the swing of things here after the holidays and we're jumping right into it with an interview about public schools. But first, our hosts Rachel Vindman, Amanda Weinstein, and Jasmine Clark catch up about the news. We recently passed the 3-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection and it's upsetting to see how so many Americans have shifted their views from condemning it to explaining it away. It's so important to have accurate journalism so narratives like “Jan 6 wasn't a big deal” don't catch on. The hosts also discuss the scapegoating and resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay and the bill in OH that would ban gender-affirming care.Then we dive into the importance of education and the role that deeply involved “school moms” can play in saving our public schools with journalist Laura Pappano. We were so excited to talk to Laura about her new book, “School Moms: Parent Activism, Partisan Politics and the Battle for Public Education.” She shares what it was like to attend a Moms for Liberty conference, why inclusion is so crucial, and even that she listens to The Suburban Women Problem while she does Peloton. “School Moms” will be available on January 30th and you can read Laura's Vanity Fair article here.Finally, Rachel, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to new Akron mayor Shammas Malik, to Jasmine's fantastic fundraising event earlier this month, and to high hopes for a new legislative session in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”This week, Amanda mentioned the bill in Ohio that would ban critical gender affirming care - if you're in Ohio, please call your state reps and tell them to vote no on overturning Gov. Dewine's veto of HB68.And speaking of supporting the LGBTQ community, we're also hosting a live virtual event with author and former pod guest Lesléa Newman to talk about her new book "Always Matt: A Tribute To Matthew Shepard.” The event is on Tues 1/16 at 7:30 Eastern - you can learn more and RSVP here.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.
