Rates of depression and anxiety among adolescents shot up around the same time kids were switching from flip phones to smartphones.

Jonathan Haidt joins John Avlon to discuss how to restore a play-based childhood—including his prescriptions for parents, schools, and members of Congress.

dimanche 3 novembre 2024 • Durée 30:32

S1 Ep4: The Keys to Solving the Immigration Problem

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

dimanche 27 octobre 2024 • Durée 30:42

The law of supply and demand also applies at the border: We can’t really stop all illegal immigration—in part because of the lure of a better life here, but also because of our own labor needs. And Americans are just too educated for a lot of ordinary but necessary jobs. But a number of fixes could help, including changing asylum rules—a key part of the border bill that Trump had killed.

Linda Chavez joins John Avlon to break it all down.

S2 Ep1: A Civics Deficit in the Classroom

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

dimanche 5 janvier 2025 • Durée 34:40

As schools have continued to emphasize STEM courses and other subjects, civics has largely fallen off the curriculum calendar in most states—and we’re now living in a country roiled by political divisions and fears of violence. Richard Haass joins John to discuss the need for teaching what it means to be an American, the challenges of implementing a national civics curriculum, and how more nonprofit foundations should step up to support a new generation of Schoolhouse Rock-like projects, especially as the 250th anniversary of the U. S. approaches. Amb. Richard Haass joins John Avlon.

S2 Ep2: Avoiding Partisan Gridlock

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

dimanche 12 janvier 2025 • Durée 39:16

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi, who represents a Long Island district that Trump also won, argues that the real election mandate was for border security, reducing the cost of living, and turning down the volume on the culture wars—not one-party rule. Suozzi talks with John about where he thinks Dems can work with Republicans and which areas are non-negotiable, including on climate and the environment. Plus, what happened to Trump’s big promises on Ukraine and the hostages, and how some 80s movies help explain the challenges facing the middle class.

Rep. Tom Suozzi joins John Avlon.

S2 Ep3: Keeping the Faith in the Fight to Defend Democracy (with Anne Applebaum)

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

dimanche 19 janvier 2025 • Durée 30:11

As Trump retakes the Oval Office, John speaks with Anne Applebaum about how to stay in the fight of our times. In this horseshoe moment, she says the center-left and center-right have to stick together as Trump makes moves to exercise power without checks and balances. Meanwhile, we need to read and support local and regional journalism to keep the information and debate flowing—and to counter the algorithmic assault on our democracy from platforms pushing content that’s not necessarily true. Plus, expect corruption, but let’s not let them get away with it.

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

dimanche 26 janvier 2025 • Durée 31:30

Elon wants to cut government programs, but that won’t make government more efficient. But changing how the government does things—by streamlining the permitting and purchasing processes, for example—will make government more effective, efficient, and responsive to the public. Plus, instilling fear among federal employees and helping fulfill Trump’s urge to say “you’re fired.”

S2 Ep5: Make Congress Work (with Yuval Levin)

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

dimanche 2 février 2025 • Durée 35:13

In other democracies, when a party wins an election it wins all the power. But American democracy is different, and under the Constitution, members of Congress are supposed to engage in cross-partisan bargaining—yet they’re failing at this very basic job. What we’re left with are spending bills finalized at midnight before a government shutdown, and party line votes that are undone by other party line votes. Yuval Levin joins John to discuss some remedies: expanding the number of House members, re-empowering committees to reduce some of the leadership’s power, and using rank-choice voting to get the kind of candidates who bargain and build coalitions.
