Part 1:We talk with Paul Glastris, Editor-in-Chief, Washington Monthly.We discuss how education in public schools can be improved, using methods that have proven to be successful. This does NOT presuppose vouchers. Instead, schools should institute tutoring as part of their service. This is popular with parents, and has proven to be successful in many cases when used.Our second topic heals with immigration. We discuss E-verify, a system that makes employers responsible for proving the eligibility of their employees.Part 2:We talk with Nicholas Liu, News Fellow at Salon.comWe discuss the pro-Israel's Zionist group's (Betar) campaign to stifle all discussion of the situation in Gaza and the mistreatment of the Palestinians. Betar has spied on protestors, and has labeled them as anti semites . They have pushed for the deportation and even incarceration of those who show sympathy for Gazans' plight. Trump has issued an Executive Order to support Betar's view, and threatened consequences for those targeted by Betar. Free speech is to be suppressed. This is especially true on college campuses.

Biden had real achievements, but consultants muted those facts by their 'safe' topics during the campaigns. Democrats need new ideas and policies to regain the trust of the middle and working class.

Tom starts with a conversation about the UAW strike against the big three auto makers: General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. At the heart of the argument between workers and upper management is the discrepancy between executive and worker compensation. Car makers have been highly profitable businesses since the government bailout during the Obama administration. But workers contend that those profits have been earned on their backs, while executive compensation has soared. Joining Tom to discuss this is Paul Glastris, Editor in Chief of Washington Monthly.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

While the Republican Party's embrace of authoritarianism has attracted a lot of media attention in recent years, the Democratic Party's inability to build a real political majority is a big reason that American conservatives haven't had to drop their unpopular views about government. After all, if Democrats were better at diagnosing and meeting the needs of the public, anti-government Republicans wouldn't be able to use cultural or religious controversies to win. For decades, polls have shown that millions of Americans who generally favor the Democratic Party don't typically vote. Some people, particularly supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, say it's because Democrats have turned them off by not expanding government enough to meet their needs. Other people say that reaching out to people through their race or gender identity is the way to go. In today's episode, Matthew Sheffield talks to Paul Glastris, editor of the Washington Monthly on what he's seen in 20 years of progressive journalism. They also talk about where Democrats have been and where they might go in the future.

The kickoff of the Tokyo Olympic games is around the corner, and will take place amid high COVID infections and worry from the Japanese public and the medical establishment there. There are also concerns about the increasing cost of hosting the games. Given these challenges, could it be time to consider giving the Olympics a permanent home in Greece, rather than rotating the games to a different city every four years? That's the question that Paul Glastris, the editor in chief of the Washington Monthly and an early advocate of moving the Olympics to Greece on a permanent basis, raises in a recent interview with The Greek Reporter. Paul Glastris joins our podcast to break this issue down.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Will Greece Ever Be Permanent Home to Olympic Games?Stop picking different cities to host the Olympic GamesThe Dark Side Of Being An Olympic Host CityCyprus vaccine drive: 'SafePass' mandatory, no more free COVID testsDelta wreaks havoc as Cyprus passes 1000 markUN: Migrant Deaths on Sea Routes to Europe More Than Double
In a recent piece in the Washington Monthly, Paul Glastris explores how American popular support for the Greek revolution sparked a debate in the US over the balance between realism and idealism in American foreign policy. He argues that the need to find the balance between principle and practicality in foreign policy is as great today as it was 200 years ago, pointing out that there are a number of lessons from 1821 that President Biden should take into account when formulating its own foreign policy doctrine. Paul Glastris, the editor in chief of the Washington Monthly who is also currently writing a book on America's involvement in the Greek War of Independence, joins our podcast to talk about his latest piece.Read Paul Glastris's piece in the Washington Monthly here: What Joe Biden Can Learn from the Greek War of IndependenceYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Government pleased with first Mitsotakis-Biden talkReadout of President Joseph R.

Midday on Politics continues now as Tom is joined by another experienced and acclaimed journalist, Paul Glastris. He has been the editor-in-chief of the Washington Monthly for 20 years. The Monthly has long been one of the country's most respected political journals. Mr. Glastris also spent 10 years as a correspondent and editor of US News and World Report, and from 1998-2001, he was a special assistant and senior speechwriter in the Clinton Administration, where he wrote more than 200 speeches for President Bill Clinton... About a year ago, the Monthly published an expose about Maryland Governor Larry Hogan that raised questions about some road, highway and bridge projects that have been undertaken during the Governor’s two terms that are in proximity to real estate projects that the Hogan real estate brokerage firm is involved with. The Governor, who remains hugely popular and is accustomed to positive press coverage, dismissed the Washington Monthly as a “blog,” and contended that any potential conflicts of interest had been fully vetted by the State Ethics board. The article was by Eric Cortellessa. We'll talk about that, and get an assessment of President Biden's first 50 days in the White House, with Washington Monthly Editor in Chief Paul Glastris, who joins us now on Zoom. Listeners are welcome to join us as well. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Metaxas speaks with Paul Glastris, editor in chief of the Washington Monthly, along with two of the publication’s editors, Daniel Block and Eric Cortellessa, about their quest to elevate journalism in this stressful time. Labelling his point of view, “grumpily liberal,” Paul says the Washington Monthly, now celebrating its 50th anniversary, remains devoted to the ethos of its founder, Charles Peters — to report, uncover, explain and offer new ideas about government policy and politics in America, all while treating the reader and people with different points of view with respect. Recent stories have looked at what the editors see as an underreported but major development in society — that large numbers of Americans are not benefiting from America’s economic system. While Paul says his magazine is contributing to the broader effort by journalists to understand and in many ways fight against the nonsense and lying coming out of the White House, he is not obsessed with Trump coverage. Rather, he says, “We’re focused on the future. We’re focused on issues like antitrust, like reforming the higher education system, like Congress rebuilding its capacity to think and do oversight, reforms that aren’t getting enough attention and we think are the most important things the American people should be discussing.”

What goes into writing a State of the Union address? How does the president convey policy goals to speechwriters? How are they translated into prose? How does a president become comfortable delivering such an important speech in someone else’s words? Paul Glastris, current editor-in-chief of Washington Monthly, wrote quite a few State of the Union speeches while he was serving as senior speechwriter to President Bill Clinton. He gives Rick and Michael a masterclass in presidential speechwriting and a peek at all the work that goes into constructing the “organizing document of an administration”. Nick Johnston, editor-in-chief of Axios, discusses the impact that Congressman Devin Nunes’ memo on potential FISA abuses is having on discourse inside the Beltway.
