The Last Best Hope?: Understanding America from the Outside In
When the media talks about the evangelical vote today, what or to whom are they referring? Who are the people who self-identify in this way? Should we understand them as a group defined by their faith, their style of worship, by distinctive theological positions – or has the term evangelical itself become so politicised that in practice it is now most meaningfully understood as shorthand for a group of mainly white voters characterised by their opposition to abortion and LGBTQ rights?Presenter: Adam Smith, Orsborn Professor of US Political History at Oxford and Director of the Rothermere American InstituteGuests: EJ Dionne, is a distinguished journalist and author, political commentator, and longtime op-ed columnist for the Washington Post.

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
One of the strangest political developments over the past several decades has been the devolution of the Religious Right and large swaths of politically active Evangelicals as they morphed from character counts moralists of the 1990s to MAGA Trumplicans. Regardless of the merits of where the Religious Right stands today, one could be forgiven for being perplexed at how they arrived here at all. Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is JB Shreve, creator of The End of History podcast and blog, to demystify the Religious Right's conversion to the Church of Trump. Both JB and Josh were raised in the cultural milieu of Evangelical conservatism and have an insider's perspective on what went so wrong on the Religious Right. About JB Shreve JB Shreve spent his life in the highlands of western Arkansas, where he and his wife Casie raised their three children. JB worked in international ministry between 1998 and 2008 in various roles with organizations such as Bill Glass Prison Ministries, Christian Motorcyclists Association, and Open Doors with Brother Andrew. After securing his degrees in International Relations and Middle East Studies at the Fulbright College and King Fahd Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Arkansas, JB went to work in the corporate business sector. In 2005, JB and his family moved to northwest Arkansas, where they joined a team to build a new church Transformation Center. JB continues in an active leadership role at Transformation Center. JB hosts two podcasts and blogs. JB Shreve & Faithful Considerations includes devotionals and bible studies, while JB Shreve & the End of History looks at our generation's current events, history, and socio-political issues.

Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne is the author of a timely book called Why the Right Went Wrong. New Republic Senior Editor Brian Beutler sat down with him at the Brookings Institution to fit the closing days of this campaign into a greater historical framework, and give some thought to what lies ahead. The home stretch of this election has been marked by Republican desperation and Democratic angst. Sensing defeat, Republicans down ballot from Donald Trump are promising to prevent Hillary Clinton from filling Supreme Court vacancies—should they retain the Senate—and to beset her administration with years of investigations. They have bullied the FBI into selectively leaking information that might damage Clinton, and some Republicans have even said they’re likely to impeach her. This rapid jettisoning of political courtesies and democratic norms isn’t just an indication that Republicans sense defeat. It’s a warning of the political future that awaits us if and when Clinton assumes office.
EJ Dionne, long-time op-ed columnist for The Washington Post and author of “Why the Right Went Wrong", chats with David about his start in journalism, the Catholic Church under Pope Francis, what Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton need to do to win the election, and more.
In this episode, EJ Dionne Jr., a columnist at the Washington Post, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and frequent commentator at NPR, MSNBC, and PBS, talks about his most recent book, Why the Right Went Wrong. In his book, EJ tracks the fracture of the Republican Party from the Goldwater Movement in the early 60s all the way up to Donald Trump. In our conversation, EJ outlines that fracture and emphasizes the significance of Trump’s revolt on the right. We discussed the Trumpification of the Right, the past and future of American conservatism, and what Burkean or moderate conservatives such as David Brooks or Michael Gerson should do in the face of a Trump takeover. This interview was recorded on May 17, 2016.
I Vincent F. Hendricks’ bog ‘Spræng boblen’ undersøger han bobler fra alle mulige vinkler. Hendricks mener, at bobler ikke begrænser sig til pengenes verden, men at man kan tale om alt fra onlinebobler, statusbobler, mobbebobler, politiske bobler og nyhedsbobler til videnskabsbobler. Vi har inviteret filosoffen og forfatteren til en snak om, hvordan strukturer i den finansielle verden idag overføres til den sociale verden. J.K. Rowling udgiver en ny Harry Potter-bog til sommer. Nis Stein Pedersen har været kæmpe fan, siden han var barn. Som 12-årig skrev han sammen med sin bror en anmeldelse af Potter-bøgerne til Politiken. Idag - 16 år efter - gæster den nu voksne Nis Stein Pedersen Bogfolk. Han fortæller om sin dybe, magiske Potterpassion, som har fulgt ham hele livet. Hvad er gået galt for republikanerne? Politikens korrespondent i USA Kristian Madsen har med begejstring læst ‘Why the Right Went Wrong’ af E. J. Dionne Jr. Et af de største problemer er, at de kun henvender sig til den hvide amerikaner fortæller Madsen, som også giver et grundigt indblik i bogens analyse af republikanernes op- og nedture. Sidst i programmet giver Christina Thiemer dig et overblik over sommerens bog-musthaves. Blandt anbefalingerne peger hun på en kunstnerisk malebog, som kan give dig ro i sjælen - man kan f.eks. hive papirerne ud og lave dem til papirsflyvere.
