What happens when the past starts sounding uncomfortably like the present? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with historian Tad Stoermer to explore the recurring cycle of power, resistance, and transformation in American history. Tad traces his journey from the military and Democratic politics into historical scholarship, explaining why moments of resistance often emerge when authority overreaches. Drawing from his forthcoming book, “A Resistance History of the United States,” releasing June 2, 2026, he connects today's unrest to earlier chapters of the American story. This conversation challenges conventional political thinking and invites listeners to examine current events through a longer historical lens, exploring generational memory, shifting values, and what tends to rise when societies reach a breaking point. In this episode, Darius and Tad will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Tad Stoermer and His Work (02:53) Tad's Journey to Becoming a Historian (05:40) Understanding Resistance in American History (08:33) The Role of Values in Politics (11:40) The Dynamics of Resistance and Authority (14:12) Political Parties and Their Disconnect with Values (17:02) The Need for Change in Political Systems (20:06) The Founders' Vision and Its Flaws (27:08) The Dynamics of American History (32:19) The Evolution of Republics in the U.S. (37:33) Generational Memory and Historical Context (42:42) Youth Perspectives on Power and Authority (47:18) Resistance Dynamics: A Values-Agnostic Framework Tad Stoermer is a public historian and author of “A Resistance History of the United States”. One of the most widely followed public historians in the world, he reaches millions each month with work focused on the American Revolution and the enduring myths that shape American identity. A former U.S. Army Reconnaissance Scout and veteran of a decade in Democratic politics, Stoermer holds a PhD in History from the University of Virginia and is an alumnus of Johns Hopkins and Harvard. He has taught public history at Harvard, held major fellowships at Brown, Yale, and Monticello, and currently serves as a Lecturer at Johns Hopkins, a Visiting Scholar at the University of Southern Denmark, and Film and Digital Media Editor of The Public Historian. He splits his time between Denmark and Cape Cod.

Send a textIn this show, the boys tackle a couple of subjects...Firstly, they discuss whether Democracy would actually be better and get things done if we abolished political parties altogether.Secondly, they discuss whether money has eroded and destroyed the current legal systems, so fairness is no longer right, but rather, who has the bigger funds gets the best representation.But what are your thoughts on any of these subjects? Do you agree with Tony or Tayo, or do you have different views?Tune in and listen to the discussion.

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the attack on the Iranian terror regime by the U.S. and Israel — and the impact on the Middle East and the world. Will loud MAGA voices continue to do all they can to stop the fall of the mullahs of Iran? Or will they put aside their anti-semitism for the sake of America and the free world?

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. Victory for the Greens in the Gorton & Denton by-election is the latest sign that old political loyalties have broken down. In what was, even as recently as the 2024 General Election, a very safe Labour seat, Hannah Spencer was elected with a majority of over 4,000. Reform came second, pushing Labour into an embarrassing third place while the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats both lost their deposits. Indeed, the three mainstream parties that have governed the UK for over 100 years managed less than 30 per cent of the vote between them. What does all this mean for the future of British politics? ORIGINAL FESTIVAL INTRODUCTION Are the mainstream parties facing extinction or can they bounce back by the time of the next General Election in 2029? Can the Tories recover from 14 years of misrule? Will the Labour Party survive from its current economic woes? Will the political vacuum be filled by Ed Davey's Liberal Democrats or the ‘challenger' parties like Reform or the Greens? Take the Conservative Party: the oldest party in the world currently looks as if it is facing electoral wipeout. In a recent survey, 42 per cent of Conservative voters in the 2024 General Election said that even they wouldn't vote for them. The party that squandered Brexit is desperately looking around for a purpose. Some Tories believe that Robert Jenrick poses a more credible alternative than the current leader, Kemi Badenoch. But are they both fighting for a hopeless cause? Jenrick's crime-fighting TikTok videos and Badenoch's recent support of oil exploration got lots of media coverage, but Net Zero and the current failed model of policing were both introduced on their watch. Are they going back to their roots – if they can remember what those roots are – or are they simply mimicking Trump and Farage's agendas from the sidelines? Meanwhile, Labour seems to be imploding. A recent Ipsos poll ranked the current UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, as the most unpopular leader in modern times. In July 2024, his government won almost two-thirds of all seats, with a 174 majority in the Commons, yet a year later it is collapsing in the polls. The government has presided over cuts and tax rises, strikes and bailouts, two-tier justice and a zero-growth economy. The idea that if you pinned a red rosette on a donkey in Wales, it'd get elected no longer holds true. Far from ‘smashing the gangs', the immigration scandal that Labour inherited from the Tories means it is haemorrhaging support in Red Wall seats. Preferring Davos over Westminster, Starmer seems to prefer hob-nobbing with world leaders while taking British democracy for granted. Yet the death of both Labour and the Conservatives has been declared numerous times before, only for them to revive. Is it too soon to count them out? Is Britain's political map being redrawn, or torn up? Might proportional representation reinvigorate the mainstream parties? Must we wait for four more years? We'll take a vote on it.

It was hailed as the "Mega-Alliance" that would reshape Nigeria's political future. The African Democratic Congress, ADC, became the unlikely home for former rivals, bringing together the heavyweights of the opposition. But today, the cracks in the foundation are becoming impossible to ignore. Whispers of a fallout between the Atiku Abubakar camp and the Peter Obi movement are growing louder. With ego, ambition, and the 2027 presidential ticket at stake, is this coalition headed for a divorce before the honeymoon even ends?Today on Nigeria Daily, we go inside the ADC to examine the internal friction, the rumors of Peter Obi's exit, and what this misalignment means for the opposition's chances in the next election.

It is back to the story of the most famous British Fascist this week as we discuss the Parliamentary career of Oswald Mosley, which started at the tender age of 22.Going in with a naive belief that he would quickly rise through the ranks it is the story of how people born of privilege can struggle when they face even the mildest of barriers, and how the political system can be manipulated to your advantage if you don't really care about the concept of loyalty.While he did eventually develop some policies that might have worked, Mosley's methods ensured that no one in Westminster was willing to work with him. Forcing him to consider how he might secure power outside of the established system.But remember he was only doing it to help the British Working Class....Guest Host: Oliver Green Hosted on Acast.

Promises, Promises: Nigeria's election cycle is in full swing, and politicians are dusting off their playbooks, making grand promises to woo voters. But as the campaign rhetoric fades and the votes are cast, one question lingers: when is enough, enough? How long should Nigerians wait for leaders to deliver on their promises? Is four years too long for roads to be fixed, hospitals to be built, and jobs to be created? In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we take a hard look at the perennial gap between promise and delivery. We'll explore the reasons behind the disconnect and ask the tough questions: what's holding our leaders back? And what will it take for Nigerians to see real change on the ground?"

How did America go from relative political stability in post-Cold War America – one party controlling Congress for the better part of four decades leading up to 1994 – to the past three decades of revolving-door majorities on Capitol Hill and increasing partisan bitterness in our political discourse? David W. Brady, a renowned political scientist and the Hoover Institution's Davies Family Senior Fellow, Emeritus, explains why in his latest book, From Dominance to Parity: America's Political Parties and the New Era of Electoral Instability. Among the topics discussed: how the Roosevelt and Reagan landslides scrambled America's voting blocs; why the 2008 Obama landslide wasn't as transformational; the many dimensions of partisan shift (gender, age, income and education); the possibility of old-school moderate Democrats and Republicans repopulating the political landscape, or hyper-partisanship continuing to dominate future elections. Recorded on January 12, 2026.
On today's episode the guys are back in the studio to break down the U.S. territorial expansion. The United States expanded west through a mix of purchases, treaties, wars, and forced removals, driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny—the idea that the nation was meant to stretch from coast to coast. This expansion brought massive economic growth and new states, but also led to the displacement of Native nations, conflict with Mexico, and long-lasting consequences that still shape the country today. Plus, they get into Arian's triumphant golf round, Michele Tafoya running for senate in Minnesota, Indiana football and the National Championship game, the NFL and political parties Charles Bediako and College Basketball (ft.

From Trump Derangement Syndrome to crime, inflation, and the mass exodus from blue states, the guys lay out why smaller government, accountability, and common sense still matter.

In the first episode of the Better Politics Podcast of 2026, host Lisa Witter is joined by Damian Boeselager, a German Member of the European Parliament and the co-founder of Volt Europa, the first pan-European political party.With a background in philosophy and economics, Damian began his career in strategy consulting and social impact work before an unexpected turn during his graduate studies in public policy drew him into politics. Confronted with a changing political climate in 2016 and growing concerns about the future of European democracy, he chose action over disengagement and helped build a new political movement grounded in the belief that Europe's challenges require European-level solutions. Together, Lisa and Damian unpack why political parties remain essential to healthy democracies, what it actually takes to build a political party from scratch, and how citizen agency can drive meaningful change. They also explore innovation in party structures, the skills and traits needed for effective political leadership today, and why “hard hope” is rooted in active participation, not passive optimism.

Have your say on the issues raised on Any Questions?
For the latest episode of Never Mind The Bar Charts I talked with Paul Webb about the report "Britain's Party Members" which has new data on who joins political parties in Britain and what they get up to. Are Lib Dems the keenest campaigners? Is the emerging two-bloc pattern of British politics reflected in party membership? We talk about these and many more such illuminating questions, revealing some of the basic bedrock on which British politics is built. Our discussion also includes the report's analysis of political psychology, based on both the big five traits and the dark triad models - showing differences between parties, and we explore how member preferences shape leadership selection, tactical voting, and party strategy.

In this timely and wide-ranging conversation, Andrew Parker is joined by former Congressman and presidential candidate Dean Phillips to examine the moral, political, and institutional challenges facing the United States as 2026 begins.Andrew and Dean begin with the global rise of antisemitism and its role as a warning sign of moral decay throughout history. They discuss how antisemitism, extremism, and ideological intolerance have re-entered public discourse—and why leaders across the political spectrum have failed to confront it with clarity and resolve.The conversation expands to immigration, radical ideologies, isolationism, and America's responsibility to defend democratic values at home while supporting stability abroad. Dean reflects on his decision to challenge an incumbent president from his own party, the personal and political cost of breaking party orthodoxy, and why America's two major political parties no longer function in the public interest.Together, Andrew and Dean make a compelling case for political competition, primary election participation, campaign finance reform, and renewed civic engagement as essential steps to rebuilding American leadership.The episode concludes with a candid assessment of Minnesota—once a national model for good governance—and what must change if the state is to reclaim its reputation for integrity, opportunity, and effective leadership.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

America is facing a crisis far more dangerous than partisan politics: a collapse of competence across government, media, and political leadership. In this year-end monologue, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how institutional failure has become normalized, why government increasingly creates problems instead of solving them, and how media tribalism has replaced journalism. From unchecked fraud and broken oversight to elite institutions that cannot perform their basic functions, Professor Giordano explains why public trust is eroding and why even Republicans have failed to deliver meaningful reform. This episode is a sober assessment of where America stands heading into 2026 and what must change if the country is to remain serious, functional, and free. Episode Highlights • How government incentives now reward failure, protect incompetence, and punish accountability • Why the media abandoned journalism for tribal loyalty and helped conceal institutional collapse • A hard look at Republican leadership, internal fractures, and the failure to translate power into reform

The conversation also tackles controversial topics such as Congresswoman Ilhan Omar who identifies as "Somali first," the media's complicity in normalizing extremist views, and why both the left and the right are struggling with radical factions. This episode is a sharp analysis of the current state of politics in America and what happens if radicalism continues to go unchallenged. Episode Highlights How the Democratic Party's leftward shift has sidelined moderates and reshaped American politics Why figures like Mamdani raise serious concerns not just for New York City but nationwide The media's role in amplifying extremist voices and the urgent need for critical political engagement
