What if the future of American democracy is already unraveling, and we're all too distracted to see it? How did we get here—what forces have shaped the volatile political landscape we're navigating today? And more importantly, can we still turn it around before it's too late?In this episode, we delve into the complex, often controversial legacy of Donald J. Trump—far beyond the headlines. This is not just the story of one man; it's the story of an entire system transformed. Together with criminologist Gregg Barak, we trace Trump's trajectory from his early years in real estate, through his strategic use of legal loopholes, to his profound reshaping of the Republican Party.We'll also explore the Russian collusion investigation, The Mueller Report, and Trump's landmark Supreme Court appointments, each of which continues to shape America's political and legal future. And we dive into the GOP's 'Project 2025'—a blueprint that could steer the country down an authoritarian path.This conversation is more than just about Trump—it's a deep exploration of the state of American democracy and the forces that could determine its future.Key Questions:1). How has Trump's influence fundamentally altered the Republican Party's DNA?2). What can history teach us about the fragility of democracy under rising authoritarianism?3). Is there still time to protect and reform America's governance, or have we reached a tipping point?As we approach November's critical presidential election, this episode invites you to reflect on the lessons of the past, understand the present political climate, and—most importantly—consider the urgent steps needed to safeguard the future.About Our Guest:Gregg Barak, author of Criminology on Trump and Indicting the 45th President: Boss Trump, the GOP, and What We Can Do About the Threat to American Democracy, brings decades of expertise in criminology, law, and justice. His insights are essential for anyone wanting to understand the intersection of law, politics, and criminal justice—and what it means for America's future.Don't miss this timely, eye-opening conversation that goes beyond the headlines, right into the heart of America's political crossroads.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Trump07:46 Trump's Early Life and Influences13:08 Trump's Political Ascent and Legal Tactics16:25 Weaponizing the Law and Campaign Finance23:41 Trump's Impact on the Republican Party26:18 Legal Battles and Public Perception27:55 Supreme Court and Presidential Immunity31:42 January 6th: Key Events and Consequences37:01 Project 2025 and Republican Platform45:56 Proposed Reforms for American Democracy49:06 Future of American Democracy51:23 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysWatch the full conversation on YouTube.

Lies and disinformation are as old as humanity itself.  But Steven Brill argues that the witches brew of 30-year-old legislative consequences; mixed with technological innovation; and bad actors threaten the lives of democratic institutions and truth itself.   Brill is an award-winning journalist, author, and the founder of Court TV, The American Lawyer Magazine, American Lawyer Media, Brill's Content Magazine, Journalism Online and The Yale Journalism Initiative. He is also the co-founder and co-CEO of NewsGuard, a media platform that rates the reliability of news and information websites. His latest book, “The Death of Truth: How Social Media and the Internet Gave Snake Oil Salesmen and Demagogues the Weapons They Needed to Destroy Trust and Polarize the World – and What We Can Do About it” explores the threat of disinformation on society.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just like all people, scientists have their own morals and political ideologies. But how do those values influence their work? What are the potential ramifications of science mixing with politics? John Staddon is an emeritus professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University and the author of numerous books. His works like Science in an Age of Unreason and Scientific Method: How Science Works, Fails to Work, and Pretends to Work examine the history of the scientific field and the challenges it faces today from becoming overly entangled with politics. John and Greg discuss the importance of distinguishing facts from values in scientific inquiry, how scientific consensus is often mistaken for truth, and the need for scientists to maintain objectivity despite societal pressures. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Is modern society abandoning the distinction between balance and fact?04:59: Science itself cannot be racist. A fact is either true or false. There's no moral element to simply a fact. There are younger people now, who simply cannot accept that a fact is just a fact. Now, you may react to it one way or another depending on your value system, but the fact by itself is not racist or not racist. So, this is a very serious problem, I think, in modern society because a lot of people have completely abandoned this distinction between fact and value. And it's wrecking, not nuclear physics or electronics, but it's wrecking the human sciences. Suppressing a fact can be just a harmful as promoting a lie07:04: Logic tells you suppressing a fact can be just as harmful as promoting a lie, and indeed, suppressing a fact will often lead to promoting a lie as a substitute for it. So, you've just gotta keep them [emotions and judgment of the truth or falsity of facts] separate.When uncertainty is the only honest answer in science13:54: One should be more skeptical of social science because it's much harder to obtain a definitive result. [14:13]: So the really only honest response is to say, "I don't know." The problem is that society doesn't want to say, "I don't know." Are there too many scientists and too many scientific journals, with too much effort invested in the sciences?22:19: Success in science, a lot of it's luck. You happen to be in an area where there's a problem that can be solved, and the opportunity comes, and you solve it. But it's certainly not true that by sheer effort you can find a fertile area. So that's one problem. The other problem, well, there are a number of points to make. One other one is that science is not a manufacturing process. It's like widgets, you know. If you want to double the number of people making widgets, you've got to double the number of widgets. Science is not like that. It has to be solvable problems. But if you double the number of scientists and the number of available problems is not doubled, you've got a problem because they've got to find something to do, and so on, and you're liable to generate as much noise as knowledge. Show Links:Recommended Resources:J.D.

The actress Jameela Jamil talks to Emma Barnett about her crusade for gentle exercise and body positivity as well as her new strategy for how she communicates on social media. She's become one of the internet's most prominent activists holding the beauty industry and celebrity culture to account for their unrealistic ideals with her provocative online posts. Her outspoken views have led to widely publicised social media spats which she says have left her with the desire to post with more “grace and empathy”. Best known for her role as Tahini in the Netflix series The Good Place she also hosts the podcast iWeigh which declares its “radical inclusivity” agenda where guests talk about what they “weigh” or value in life as opposed to their physical weight. New draft guidance from the Home Office appears to water down previously voted on laws about Safe Access Zones around abortion clinics. To talk about what this could mean for women seeking an abortion, and why the changes might be made, Emma is joined by Jo Gideon, Conservative MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central and Louise McCudden from MSI Reproductive Choices. They were known as Israel's “eyes on the border.” These were female Israeli border soldiers - who raised concerns about suspicious Hamas activity on the Gaza border in the run up to the October 7 attack - but those concerns went unheard by higher ranking officers. Hamas killed at least 1,200 people in that attack and took about 240 hostages. Since then, more than 23,000 civilians have been killed in the Israeli bombardment that followed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Emma discusses with the BBC's Alice Cuddy who reported on these soldiers and Mary Ann Sieghart, the journalist and author of “The Authority Gap: Why Women Are Still Taken Less Seriously Than Men and What We Can Do About it”The Traitors is back, we're a few episodes into this second series of the hit reality TV show and things are hotting up at the Scottish castle, where a bunch of strangers are divided into traitors and ‘Faithful' then compete to win up to £120,000.  Claudia Winkleman is the host who hand picks the traitors.  She joins Emma.

Welcome episode 131 with Tim Clare who is a writer, a poet and a coward. Tim Clare is a writer, a poet and a coward. Tim has experienced anxiety and panic attacks for over a decade, sometimes having attacks several times a day.  These would often leave him curled up in a ball on the floor, screaming for help. Eventually Tim got to a place where he could no longer go on living in fear and he made the decision to get control of his anxiety. He set out to explore all of the common treatments, cures and support options and spent a year trialling and learning about things like exercise, hypnotherapy, medication, cold water, diet and psychedelics. He researched science, looked at the studies, spoke to the experts and tried everything himself.  He wrote about all of this in his book, Coward: Why We Get Anxious and What We Can Do About it. In this episode I chat to Tim about anxiety and what it feels like to have a panic attack. We also chat about his yearlong experiment, some of the different things that he tried and what he learned about anxiety, and about himself, along the way. It was great to chat to Tim about his book and everything that went in to it.  The amount of work he put into researching different aspects is incredible and I could have picked his brain for hours! His book is great and if you want to know more about anxiety and about what can be done to potentially help, then I would highly recommend you give it a read after listening to this! Episode 131 is out now in all the usual places!

During this episode, we discuss with COL Mike Jackson and Dr. Paul Lieber their recently co-authored article “Countering Disinformation: Are We Our Own Worst Enemy?”. Referencing Richard Stengle’s recent book: Information Wars: How We Lost the Global Battle Against Disinformation and What We Can Do About it, Mike and Paul make the case that well intentioned people frequently resort to “tribalism” which has a nonproductive effect. In 2015, Mike was part of a EUCOM and Department of State combined effort called the Russia Information Group (or RIG); he recounts the stand up of the RIG and relates lessons learned for improving information operations going forward. We conclude by discussing what’s at stake for America and our allies. Interested listeners should also check out: Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America by Christopher Wylie.

Money reflects our shadows and strengths as much as our bank accounts. Like Hermes, money traverses the realms from Hades to Heaven--money can be a matter of survival, and money can turn dreams into realities. Because money represents value we can acquire, exchange, and store, it can become conflated with our value as persons. Material wealth can become equated with status and self worth—and the lack of it with inadequacy and anxiety. To come into right relationship with money we need to develop a realistic perception of its power and place within a larger personal economy. In a healthy life economy energetic currencies flow freely—we have rich relationships, and wise investments in work and purpose generate psychic interest. Inner treasure allows something of value to come into the world through us.    Dream I found myself walking down a street in a European-like town until I came upon a group of my peers. One of them proclaimed that the book we had all been searching for was in a bookstore ahead and that she was intent on finding it. As I was also intent on finding this book, I went on ahead. The bookstore was, in fact, nine book stores located in a three story building with three stores on each floor. I, alone, entered the middle bookstore on the second floor and asked the attendant if she had any special books related to psychoanalysis. After pondering a moment, slightly confused at my request, she remembered that she did have a special book enclosed in a wooden box. It was the book I had been searching for- decorative and ancient looking. I purchased it for $45, thrilled with excitement. I met back with my peers in the library, all of whom were perturbed and annoyed that I was the one who found the book. "I told you about it and then you go and take it for yourself," one said angrily. I set the book on the table and told them that they are welcome to check it out, as long as they are careful and respectful with it. They all seemed appeased by this motion, yet still slightly bitter, and treated the book with care. Soon after, a famous relationship therapist called my name, asking for my opinion on a matter. I felt shocked that someone of such renown would consider my opinion on anything. She was holding two pictures, one clearly of a bridge, the other obscure. Through analysis of key symbols and images in each picture, we discovered that it was an image of the same bridge, taken at different angles.    References Myths, Morals & Money –This Jungian Life joins Australian visionary Berry Liberman in a series of six podcasts.

To find out exactly how this happens, we talked with Chris Clearfield, co-author of “Meltdown: Why Our Systems Fail and What We Can Do About it.”
