Political Conventions: At This Point, Whatβs The Point?
Thursday, August 22, 2024 β’ Duration 01:03:05
The Democratic National Convention is in full swing, but what influence does it have on the election? Once a hotbed of debate, drama, and actual decision-making, the DNC has transformed into a carefully choreographed media event where political insiders pretend to decide things they've already decided. So what are we doing here? This week, we dive into these questions with Zolan Kanno-Youngs, White House Correspondent with the New York Times and CNN political analyst, and Jill Lepore, Professor of History and Law at Harvard, staff writer at The New Yorker, and author of "The Deadline." Together, we discuss the happenings on the floor, explore how these political gatherings have evolved from smoke-filled rooms of party bosses to the spectacles of today, and examine how political messaging has adapted (or failed to adapt) to the ever-changing media landscape.

The Harris/Walz are Closing In! with Senator Amy Klobuchar
Thursday, August 15, 2024 β’ Duration 59:22
In a matter of weeks, the Democrats have unveiled a new ticket β injecting fresh energy into a presidential race once considered a foregone conclusion. Who better to illuminate this shift than Senator Amy Klobuchar, who ran against Vice President Harris for President in 2020, served alongside her in the Senate, and represents Minnesota just like Governor Walz? This week, we dive into the Democratic Party's seismic change, and explore the intricacies of VP selection and vetting. Drawing from her unique experience, Senator Klobuchar offers insights into the challenges women face in high-profile campaigns, the urban-rural divide in American politics, and the art of passing crucial legislation in a gridlocked Washington. Jon and the Senator also look ahead to the Democratic National Convention, campaign season, and beyond. No denial of service attack will stop this conversation from happening!

Trump, Vance, and The Republican Anti-Worker Playbook
Thursday, August 1, 2024 β’ Duration 01:05:20
The right-wing talks a big economic populist game, claiming that the working class is their chief concern. But their pro-worker words donβt translate into pro-worker actions. During the first Trump administration, for instance, Republicans killed raising the minimum wage and created a higher threshold for workers to be eligible for overtime pay. Plus, Trumpβs Supreme Court justice selections represent the most anti-worker judges in a century. This week, weβre joined by Steven Greenhouse, the labor and workplace reporter at the New York Times for 19 years, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation, and author of the book, Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor, as well as Heather Cox Richardson, author of Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America. Together, they examine the history of labor in the US and explore what populist rhetoric offers Americans when it's accompanied by policies that undermine workers.

Biden Out, Harris In: A Media Disasterpiece
Thursday, July 25, 2024 β’ Duration 57:37
In the turbulent month since President Bidenβs disastrous debate performance, the media has been speculating as to whether it was probable, or even possible, for him to drop out of the race. Turns out, it was both. In light of Bidenβs historic decision, how effectively did the media guide the public through the election chaos? This week, helping us to contextualize the moment and understand the challenges in covering it, weβre joined by Doris Kearns Goodwin, presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, whose most recent book is βAn Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s", as well as Eugene Daniels, POLITICO White House correspondent and Playbook co-author. Together, they examine the flaws in our electoral process and media coverage, offer some possible fixes, and provide facts βnot speculation β about what to expect in the weeks ahead.

Trump Assassination Attempt Aftermath with Bill OβReilly
Thursday, July 18, 2024 β’ Duration 59:02

Joining us to do just that is Bill OβReilly, Anchor of No Spin News and Author of the upcoming book, Confronting the Presidents: No Spin Assessments from Washington to Biden.

Two-Party System: Third Parties Need Not Apply
Thursday, June 27, 2024 β’ Duration 59:12
The first presidential debate is here, and voters do not seem thrilled with the two, very different candidates. How does a consumerist country built on choice produce so few options? This week, helping us to understand our two party system and why third parties donβt work within it, weβre joined by Max Stearns, Law Professor at University of Maryland Carey School of Law, and the author of βParliamentary America: The Least Radical Means of Radically Repairing Our Broken Democracy,β as well as Sam Rosenfeld, Associate Professor of Political Science at Colgate University, and the co-author, with Daniel Schlozman, of βThe Hollow Parties: The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics.β Together, they help us to understand the flaws in how our current system functions and offer some possible remedies going forward.

Abortion: Mission Impossible
Thursday, June 20, 2024 β’ Duration 47:42
The media may have you believe that the recent Supreme Court decision on Mifepristone was a win for reproductive rights. In reality, it merely upheld the current status quo β a drastic departure from the standard once set by Roe. And an onslaught of challenges, aimed at making abortion impossible, if not illegal, are on the horizon. Joining us to explore this regression we have Melissa Murray, NYU Law Professor and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny Podcast, and Jessica Valenti, founder of AbortionEveryDay.com and author of the forthcoming book, Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win. Together, they discuss how our distorted democracy brought us to this moment, unpack the backward slide of abortion rights in America, and offer tips on what we can do to counter this trend.Β

The Military Industrial Complexity
Thursday, June 13, 2024 β’ Duration 01:08:08
On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we reflect on how the US military saved democracy from fascism. This week, as the Senate marks up next yearβs defense spending bill, Jon sits down with Bill Hartung of the Quincy Institute and Roxana Tiron of Bloomberg to investigate whether our arsenal is still bolstering democracy, both abroad and at home. From the active conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza to our rivalry with China, we explore the efficacy of U.S. strategy. Plus, we dive deep into the ballooning defense budget and discuss Jonβs attempts to shine a light on it all.Β
