On a recent WhoWhatWhy podcast, I spoke with Princeton historian Julian Zelizer who offers a provocative argument from his new book In Defense of Partisanship. At a time when nearly a third of Americans view both major parties with disgust and many blame partisan loyalty for our democratic decay, Zelizer says that strong, disciplined political parties — not feel-good Biden-style bipartisanship — have historically been crucial to America's greatest achievements. The problem isn't that parties fight hard for their beliefs; it's that we've lost the guardrails that once transformed partisan combat into incremental but lasting progress.
Partisanship. What is it good for? Most people these days would say, “Absolutely nothing.” Julian Zelizer might reply, “Not so fast.” This week on the Road to Now we welcome backt to the show the Malcom Stevenson Forbes Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University, and CNN Political Analyst, Julian Zelizer to discuss his new book, In Defense of Partisanship. Zelizer argues that partisanship is not inherently detrimental to democracy. Instead, he contends that a healthy and vibrant political system requires robust and principled parties that clearly articulate their policy positions and engage in spirited debate. Through historical examples and contemporary analysis, Zelizer illustrates how partisanship has historically facilitated significant political and social advancements. Zelizer posits that today we are dealing with the negative effects of hyper partisanship, and that rather than seeking to eliminate partisanship altogether, efforts should be made to foster a political environment where constructive partisanship thrives.

After Jack Smith released his final report on Donald Trump's insurrection, Trump erupted, gloating over the failure to prosecute him. Meanwhile, Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, MAGA hero Pete Hegseth, had some alarming moments at his confirmation hearing, and the MAGA cheerleading for him hints at ugly times ahead. Take this all together and Trump and MAGA look invincible right now. So we talked to historian Julian Zelizer, author of a good piece in The New Republic that reminds us that George W. Bush looked formidable in 2004, only to see the tide turn dramatically two years later. Zelizer discusses his new book, In Defense of Partisanship, and explains why Trump-MAGA's grip on power may prove fragile, especially if Democrats fight them effectively.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a keynote from the 2022 Markets & Society conference given by Viviana A. Zelizer, the Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In her lecture, Zelizer discusses the social developments concerning the world of money during the COVID-19 pandemic. She begins by identifying three pandemic-era, money puzzles: the surge in donated money, the resilience of remittance money, and the gender of household money. Zelizer uses her pandemic-inspired insights to make a case for the power of sociological answers to these puzzles, focusing on money's multiple meanings rather than its multiple material forms.If you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!

Some American patriotic myths are harmless; George Washington may have chopped down a cherry tree at some point in his life, but the popular story told to children where young George fesses up to the deed by saying “I cannot tell a lie” is made up from whole cloth. However, there are much more pernicious lies and misinformation circulated about our past as a country, and that misinformation is used for political ends. Princeton University historians Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer say they have been alarmed about this uptick in misinformation, censorship and rewriting of history. Having previously co-written Fault Lines: A History of the United States Since 1974, they decided to partner as editors of a book responding to this wave of false history. They commissioned a number of other prominent historians to contribute, and the result is Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Kruse and Zelizer speak with the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles about how their project began and what they see as the greatest challenges facing modern historians. They offer tips on how to evaluate claims about history as a non-historian. They also discuss one of the most pervasive myths in the legal community: the true importance of Federalist Paper No. 10.

Drs. Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer introduce “Myth America,” one of the most consequential books to address myths and misunderstandings of American history. They talk about the genesis of the book and its purpose, and the problems historians now face in a time of frenetic social media. Finally, they address their own specific chapters (Kruse on “The Southern Strategy” and Zelizer on “The Reagan Revolution”) in this edited collection. One of our very best shows! Episode 493.
In this episode we will take a look at Viviana Zelizers work regarding the social meaning of money. What kind of differentiations do people make between monies and how do people use money to sustain, form, negotiate and redefine social relations. Viviana Zelizer has done a extensive career in the field of economical sociology focusing on the connection of markets and morality. In this work she examines the different ways monies are involved in our interpersonal lives and their social and symbolic attachments beyond the arithmetic. Support the show
Princeton political history Professor and CNN Commentator Julian Zelizer returns to the Dworkin Report to discuss his book, Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party. Professor Zelizer tells us how Newt Gingrich's rise to power in the Republican party was the turning point that led to the birth of the Tea Party movement, the catastrophic Presidency of Donald Trump, and the modern toxic GOP. Zelizer gave us a breakdown of how it all ended for Newt Gingrich and what it can teach us about modern Republicans as we head into the 2022 midterms. “If you go back to the eighties, the Reagan years, and you look at Gingrich and what he was doing on Capitol Hill, you see this new style of partisanship, from vicious takedowns of opponents to the use of any kind of toxic language that one wants to the constant prioritization of partisanship over governing,” says the Princeton professor. “This is now deeply embedded in the DNA of the GOP. And you need to understand that to make sense of why [Trump's] support among Republicans remains pretty strong.” We also discuss Newt's “Contract with America,” which never materialized into actually passed laws but helped Republicans in the 1994 elections. “It was a gimmick. A series of promises that focused on an eclectic mix of anti-politics, conservative law and order, and fiscal conservative promises,” says Zelizer. “And then it became a problem because after Republicans do take over, they're unable to pass almost any of it. So it becomes just a reminder of what they didn't do.” Recently, Gingrich helped GOP House minority leader Kevin McCarthy construct a similar plan that CNN called “going small.” This interview explores how Newt Gingrich's GOP, over the course of a decade, rid the party of the inconvenient ideas that governance matters and that politicians have a responsibility to make sure our institutions work. Through political theater and criminalizing Democrats, Gingrich showed modern Republicans how to weaponize governance and partisan attacks. In many ways, it was the Georgia Republican's hypocritical actions that laid the pathway for Donald Trump to take over the Republican party today. Julian E.

How does the assumption that our donors are intentionally hoarding wealth in a donor-advised fund help any of us accomplish our goals? And, perhaps more importantly, how does such negative spin help anyone make sense of why these tools have become so popular in the last several decades? While the critics want us to focus on changing legislation and trying to coerce generosity with additional rules and regulations, I say we ought to learn how to have more meaningful relationships with our donors. Will changing the rules necessarily improve our bottom-line or just make our jobs even harder than they already are? My conversation today with Lisa and Stephen centered around what Princeton sociologist Viviana Zelizer in her book, The Social Meaning of Money, refers to as earmarking. Zelizer explains that human beings have always made a habit of earmarking monies that align with particular types of relationships. I asked Lisa and Stephen to wrestle with whether giving our donors the benefit of the doubt and applying Zelizer's logic might help some of us see the use of donor-advised funds through a more optimistic lens. What Lisa and Stephen see is not an affluent donor who wants to hoard money. Rather, they see a donor who is increasingly deliberate and purposeful and whose giving is directed towards organizations that take the donor's decision-making process as seriously as they do.

In this public release of a Patreon bonus episode originally released in November 2018, Jaye goes back in time to tell the story of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998, and the scandals that led up to it. Clinton - and many of his supporters - believe that he was unfairly targeted by congressional Republicans for a consensual affair with a White House intern. But was that the case? And was Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky simply a "private" matter, an example of immorality unbecoming of the commander-in-chief, or perhaps something else?

“When I marched in Selma, I felt my legs were praying.” So said Polish-born American rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907–1972) of his involvement in the 1965 Selma civil rights march alongside Martin Luther King Jr. Heschel, who spoke with a fiery moralistic fervor, dedicated his career to the struggle to improve the human condition through faith. In Abraham Joshua Heschel: A Life of Radical Amazement (Yale UP, 2021), author Julian Zelizer tracks Heschel's early years and foundational influences—his childhood in Warsaw and early education in Hasidism, his studies in late 1920s and early 1930s Berlin, and the fortuitous opportunity, which brought him to the United States and saved him from the Holocaust, to teach at Hebrew Union College and the Jewish Theological Seminary. This deep and complex portrait places Heschel at the crucial intersection between religion and progressive politics in mid-twentieth-century America. To this day Heschel remains a symbol of the fight to make progressive Jewish values relevant in the secular world.

Does history create vulnerabilities that any number of populist politicians could seize upon? Or do exceptional populists create those opportunities only he or she can exploit? There's no simple answer to that question. But it does frame the informative discussion we have surrounding a major populist figure, Newt Gingrich, on our first Season Two episode with Princeton historian Julian Zelizer. Zelizer's most recent book is Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party. A 2020 New York Times Notable selection, Burning Down the House focuses on Gingrich's unprecedented 1989 takedown of then-Speaker of the House, Jim Wright, on relatively minor corruption charges. In our Purple Principle interview, Dr. Zelizer points to this as a major turning point on our unfortunate path toward greater polarization.

In part one of this episode, we talk with the PCDN Team Dr. Craig Zelizer and Dra. Catalina Rojas about their journey through academia, power dynamics, inequality, and having a global vision. Originally from Bogota, Colombia, Dra. Catalina Rojas arrived to the U.S. to purse her doctoral studies. She has been a consultant for international organizations and worked in gender, international development and peaebuilding. She has published academic articles, trained and taught around the world and enjoyed working directly with women's organizations in advocacy issues. She never thought she would ever be involved in a social enterprise like PCDN. Dr. Craig Zelizer envisioned PCDN even before the technology was there to fulfill his dream of closing the information gap. While he co-founded two NGOs, worked for & consulted for leading organizations, he received his PhD and worked for 10 years at a Professor at Georgetown University he slowly but surely grew a list that turned into a global community that ended up connecting peacebuilding and changemaking professionals from around the world.
Monday on Political Rewind: a conversation with best-selling author Julian Zelizer about the roots of toxic partisanship in the United States. In his latest book, "Burning Down The House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker," and the Rise of the New Republican Party, Zelizer explores the fame and fortunes of Newt Gingrich. President Donald Trump's four years in the White House were marked by hyper-partisanship heightened by his demonization of those who oppose him. But long before the presidency of Trump, an obscure West Georgia college professor employed similar tactics on his way to becoming one of the most powerful Republican leaders in Washington. In Zelizer's new book on Newt Gingrich, the Princeton professor follows Gingrich through his first win in Congress and up the leadership of the GOP. Gingrich brought a unique ruthlessness which would change the tone of political discourse for years to come. Panel: Julian Zelizer — Professor at Princeton University and Author, Burning Down The House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party
Nearly everyone in the United States is aware of the fiery rhetoric and divisive political stratagems of Donald Trump and the contemporary Republican party. What many people forget, however, is that Trump is not the first Republican to rise to power by pushing incendiary policies and destroying opponents. Julian E. Zelizer, Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University, traces many of these tactics back to Newt Gingrich, the former representative from Georgia and Speaker of the House of Representatives. Zelizer argues that Gingrich's success with such tactics paved the way for Trump's rise and his path to power. Burning Down the House examines Gingrich's ascent within the Republican Party and to the Speakership, and the long-lasting effects of this approach to partisan politics. Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party(Penguin, 2020) follows Gingrich through his controversial political career in the House of Representatives. Originally, he was dismissed by many within the Republican establishment as an angry newcomer who would, with time, mellow. Many of the party elites never suspected that he would transform their party's approach to politics. His first conquest as a junior member of the House was a takedown of long-standing congressman, Charles Diggs, whose expulsion he called for over alleged ethics violations in the House of Representatives. Gingrich pushed hard for Diggs to be punished, and Diggs was officially censured in 1979. This bold success brought Gingrich attention within the Republican Party, and he continued to hammer away at the Democratic majority with personal accusations and media manipulation that catapulted into the national spotlight. These methods would lead to Gingrich's famous showdown with the Democratic Speaker of the House, Jim Wright, and Wright's ultimate resignation from his seat, representing the 12th congressional district in Texas, and the speakership. Zelizer's deep dive into this historical event highlights how Newt Gingrich fundamentally changed partisan politics, directly attacking political opponents, using the media to his advantage, and doggedly pursuing partisan power instead of legislative outcomes. This template, as he demonstrated the capacity for success, leading the Republicans to their first majority in the House of Representatives since the 1950s, has reshaped the GOP and has pushed a generation of Republican leaders to adopt his approach. Gingrich and his approach to politics has upended the Madisonian ideal of compromise—replacing it with a form of zero-sum partisan battle. And the former Speaker is still involved in politics in many ways, but especially as a media advocate for the GOP and Trump. This podcast was assisted by Benjamin Warren Lilly J.

Our current President and his party seem to be more interested in slandering their political opponents, propagating conspiracy theories, and fomenting division and distraction in our society, than in organizing a coherent response to the pandemic, the economic crisis, and other urgent problems that a competent and responsible government would address.Have our politics always operated this way? Is this "burn it down" partisanship the same on all sides? Is this just the way the "rough and tumble" of political conflict usually works?Our guest on this episode, Dr. Julian E. Zelizer, History professor at Princeton University and CNN commentator, refers to his new book, "Burning Down The House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party," to explain that this destructive trend in the GOP is relatively new and alarming. Zelizer traces the origin of this plague to the rise of Newt Gingrich in the 1980s and 1990s, and has clear and practical recommendations for what to do about it.https://history.princeton.edu/people/julian-e-zelizerhttps://www.cnn.com/profiles/julian-zelizerhttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/318517/burning-down-the-house-by-julian-e-zelizer/Host and Editor: L.M.
