Keen On Democracy
Episode 2472: Clay Risen on Joe McCarthy, Donald Trump and the Paranoid Style of American History

Keen On Democracy

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 20, 2025 48:17


American history, Clay Risen reminds us, has an uncanny knack of repeating itself. In Red Scare, his important new book about blacklists, McCarthyism and the making of modern America, Risen suggests that Trump and MAGA have happened before. First as the tragedy of Joe McCarthy then as farcical Donald Trump? Or might today's latest chapter in the paranoid style of American history actually be its most consequential and thus tragic?Here are the 5 KEEN ON AMERICA takeaways in this conversation with Risen:* Historical Parallels to Today: Risen suggests that there are striking parallels between the McCarthy era and current American politics under Trump, with similar tactics being used to target perceived enemies and "others" within society. The infrastructure created during previous periods of paranoia (like the FBI and certain immigration laws) is being repurposed in the present day.* Bipartisan Nature of the Red Scare: While often associated with Republicans, the Red Scare had bipartisan elements. Risen explains that Democrats like Harry Truman implemented loyalty programs, and figures like JFK positioned themselves carefully regarding anti-communist sentiment. This challenges the notion that such movements are solely partisan.* Targeting Vulnerable Groups: Both historically and today, political movements often target the most vulnerable groups first. During the Red Scare, Risen explains that was suspected communists and homosexuals; today, transgender people face similar targeting as political pawns and scapegoats.* Impact Beyond the Obviously Political: Risen reminds us that the Red Scare affected ordinary Americans across many sectors - teachers, Hollywood professionals, government workers - whose lives were ruined based on rumors, associations, or past affiliations. This led to widespread conformity as people self-censored to avoid scrutiny.* The Role of Institutions as Backstops: Risen is cautiously optimistic about how America's current paranoid periods might end. He suggests that the judicial system (particularly the Supreme Court) represents the most effective backstop against MAGA excesses, much as the Warren Court eventually helped end McCarthy-era abuses of civil liberties.Clay Risen, a reporter and editor at The New York Times, is the author of Red Scare: Blacklists, McCarthyism, and the Making of Modern America. His other recent books include The Impossible Collection of Whiskey (October, 2020) and Single Malt: A Guide to the Whiskies of Scotland (October, 2018). He is also the author of the spirits bestseller American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye: A Guide to the Nation's Favorite Spirit, now in its sixth printing with more than 100,000 copies sold. It is widely considered the bible on American whiskey and placed Risen among the leading authorities on the history, business, and diversity of U.S. spirits. Risen has served as a judge on multiple spirit award committees, including the prestigious Ultimate Spirits Challenge. In addition to Red Scare, Risen is the author of The Crowded Hour: Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Riders and the Dawn of the American Century, a New York Times Notable Book of 2019 and a finalist for the Gilder-Lehrman Prize in Military History; A Nation on Fire: America in the Wake of the King Assassination; and The Bill of the Century: The Epic Battle for the Civil Rights Act. A graduate of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service and the University of Chicago, Risen grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and now lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and two children. Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Remember way back in April of 2022 when we launched Episode 40: Write Your Own Booker's Story?  Well its time for part II!  If you're not familiar with Booker's, its a cask strength Bourbon from our friends over at Jim Beam.  Each expression is launched quarterly and newer bottles come in a wooden box with a small card with a written story that explains how they named the batch and what barrels make up the blend.  Now imagine if you could write your own story for a batch of Booker's - that's exactly what we do on this episode.   Grab a pour and get ready for the chaos!  Write Your Own Booker's Story is a fan favorite and our favorite too!  We had so much fun writing not one, not two, but three Booker's stories as Mike, Devin, and even Katie Mitchell join in on the fun.  At the end of the episode we review a reaaaaaallllyyy special Booker's batch that means the world to us.  We certainly poke fun of Booker's on the show, but absolutely love the brand and the whiskies in the Jim Beam portfolio.  Go get some Booker's Bourbon!Cheers!  Support the show

Blind tasting can help you learn to taste the whiskey more objectively, and to rely on your senses to identify its characteristics.  Here are some tips for setting up a blind whiskey tasting: Arrange bottles randomly: Cover the bottles with numbered sleeves or bags to hide their identities. Prepare tasting glasses: Provide a tasting glass for each participant. Have water and palate cleansers: Provide water and palate cleansers for participants. Bring a notepad and pen: Have a notepad and pen available for taking notes.  You can also buy blind tasting kits, which can include whiskies, instructions, and tasting sheets. Some examples include:  Whiskies of the World: A package that includes four different whiskies, instructions, a tasting sheet, and hints to help you guess which whiskey is which  Blind Barrels: A subscription service that provides four 50 ml samples of American whiskey each quarter, along with a tasting led by a spirits guide  Great Whiskey Challenge: A premium blind taste testing kit that you can use with family and friends

Tamdhu is 100% matured in the finest Oloroso sherry oak casks from Spain. Tamdhu uses only the best Oloroso sherry seasoned American and European oak casks giving the award-winning single malt its natural, dark amber color, intense richness on the palate and its deep, long finish. Born on the banks of the River Spey in 1897, its quality is also defined by the wisp of peat in its malted barley and the natural Speyside water that is drawn directly from the Tamdhu spring. About Gordon Dundas, International Brand Ambassador for Ian MacLeod Distillers: Gordon has been working in the whisky industry directly for over 17 years. Although initially having been an engineer and then working in the Sport events and hospitality industry, he had always had an interest in the wonderful whisky world.
