Trumpâs Sordid Scandal at Arlington Takes a Dark and Disturbing Turn
vendredi 30 aoÝt 2024 ⢠Duration 22:28
By now youâve heard that Donald Trumpâs campaign aides had a physical confrontation with an official at Arlington National Cemetery who tried to prevent them from filming in a restricted area, which apparently violated the law. This scandal worsened Thursday when the Army sharply rebuked his campaign. Democratic Senators are getting involved, which could bring a fuller accounting. We talked to political scientist Jonathan Bernsteinâauthor of a good new piece about this sagaâwho details how Team Trumpâs actions are now signaling a larger deterioration of the rule of law and democracy.

Brutal New Ad Rips Trump As Crazed, Corrupt Dictator Seeking âRevengeâ
jeudi 29 aoÝt 2024 ⢠Duration 34:09
Kamala Harrisâs campaign just released a harsh new ad attacking Donald Trump, Project 2025, and his threat to prosecute enemies for ârevenge.â Notably, the ad frontally goes after Trumpâs naked corruption with real force. Which raises a question: Why arenât we seeing more discussion of Trumpâs corruption in this campaign? We talked to David Sirota, editor-in-chief of The Lever and narrator of Master Plan, an ambitious new podcast about 50 years of corruption in Washington. Sirota explains how Trump and Project 2025 represent the culmination of that long and sordid history.

How Kamala Will Use the Convention to Trigger an Epic Trump Meltdown
vendredi 16 aoÝt 2024 ⢠Duration 29:57
Because Kamala Harrisâs presidential campaign is under a month old, Democrats see next weekâs nominating convention as a unique opening to do more than usual to define her in the minds of swing voters. But thereâs another opportunity here as well: A successful convention will deeply rattle Trump, and when he fears heâs losing, he does himself tremendous additional harm. We talked to veteran journalist Ronald Brownstein, who has a new piece for The Atlantic on the task ahead for Harris in Chicago, about what she might be able to accomplishâand how it could frustrate future Trump attacks.

How Trump's Weird Bible Scam Sends Hidden Codes to His Angry MAGA Base
lundi 1 avril 2024 ⢠Duration 21:43
Donald Trumpâs announcement that he is now peddling something called the âGod Bless the USA Bibleâ drew outrage from some religious figures, but one group thatâs been conspicuously quiet about it are evangelical leaders. Why? Perhaps because Trump is making subtle promises to give them what they want. We talked with Katherine Stewart, a journalist who covers the religious right, about all the ways Trump is signaling a second term shaped around ideals of Christian Nationalism.

Striking New Data Reveals It: Trumpâs Support Is Shakier Than It Looks
vendredi 29 mars 2024 ⢠Duration 31:08
Youâve probably heard someone say weâre in the midst of a âracial realignment.â The idea is that Donald Trump is surprisingly strong among nonwhite voters, helping explain why head-to-head polling looks rough for President Biden. But political analyst Ron Brownstein has written an important new piece that adds sorely needed nuance, finding that the flipside to Trumpâs strength among nonwhites is Bidenâs unexpected support among white voters. We chatted with Brownstein about why his thesis shows that Trumpâs position is more precarious than it seems.

Horror in Baltimore: Awful New Info Emerges About Six Missing Workers
jeudi 28 mars 2024 ⢠Duration 19:55
Two days after a major bridge collapsed in Baltimore when a cargo ship rammed into it, we still know little about six bridge workers who are presumed dead after an intensive search. Little by little, weâre learning that police were just about to alert the workers about the crash but were a hair too late, and that they were immigrants who were supporting children and families. Who were these workers? Could they have been saved? We talked to Maximillian Alvarez, editor in chief of the Baltimore-based Real News Network, about what this horror tells us about immigrant life in America.

Marjorie Taylor Greeneâs Rage at Mike Johnson Has Gone Nuclear. Why?
mercredi 27 mars 2024 ⢠Duration 23:05
All of a sudden Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to be attacking House Speaker Mike Johnson almost daily over all kinds of things, especially his promise to find a way to pass military aid to Ukraine. Does that mean Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans will successfully thwart that effort? Why is the House GOP in such chaos, anyway? We chatted with GOP lobbyist Liam Donovan, a Twitter virtuoso and shrewd observer of Republican politics, who helped demystify all the crazy.

Why NBC Is Suddenly In Full Meltdown Over Ronna McDaniel Hiring Fiasco
mardi 26 mars 2024 ⢠Duration 32:41
NBC News is reeling over its decision to hire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as a political analyst. McDaniel actively participated in Donald Trumpâs effort to steal the 2020 election, pressuring state officials not to certify the outcome, and personalities like Joe Scarborough and Chuck Todd have been harshly critical. We chatted with New York Universityâs Jay Rosen, one of our most incisive media critics, about whether the uproar will prompt the media to grapple more deeply with its struggle to capture the true threat Trump and MAGA pose to our democracy.

Krugman: Trump Has Duped MAGA Voters With an "Amazing" Scam
lundi 25 mars 2024 ⢠Duration 31:04
In recent days, Donald Trump opened the door to cutting Social Security, and heâs also threatened to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would throw millions off health insurance. All this comes as President Bidenâs economy is doing quite well by many metrics. Yet Trump is favored on the economy, and his MAGA support remains solid, even though his policies would badly sell out his base. We talked to New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, author of a series of columns about the economies under Trump and Biden, who helps us make sense of all these disconnects.

Christina Bobb Is Back, and Flailing Trump Needs Her More Than Ever
vendredi 22 mars 2024 ⢠Duration 27:38
With Donald Trumpâs fundraising badly trailing that of President Biden, the RNCâs new âelection integrityâ lawyer, Christina Bobb, is emerging as an important player in the Trump-MAGA campaign apparatus. Bobb, who was deeply involved in Trumpâs Stop-the-Steal efforts, will help reassure the MAGA faithful, perhaps firing up the small-dollar donations that Trump desperately needs. We chatted with Andrew Egger, who has a great new piece for The Bulwark about Bobbâs role, about why sheâs so pivotal for Trump and how sheâs become the face of the new MAGA establishment.
