  • Great podcast

    Robert - I just listened to Andrew Nagorski podcast. That was awesome! The context he gave on events in 1941 kept me hooked. Also, you are a very good interviewer. I am a subscriber now and will go back and listen to some past shows. Well done!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Josh Ireland, “The Death of Trotsky: The True Story of the Plot to Kill Stalin’s Greatest Enemy”
Q: Why did Trotsky write a biography of Stalin?
Trotsky aimed to provide a definitive portrait to critique Stalin, motivated in part by money pressures and a broader effort to expose Stalin's leadership through his writings.
Josh Ireland, “The Death of Trotsky: The True Story of the Plot to Kill Stalin’s Greatest Enemy”
Q: When does Lenin die?
Lenin dies in 1924, opening the struggle for succession and the eventual contest between Stalin and Trotsky.
Jonathan Turley, author of “Rage and the Republic: the Unfinished Story of the American Revolution”
Q: What is 'democratic despotism' and why is it a danger?
Democratic despotism occurs when the majority imposes its will without safeguards, eroding minority rights; maintaining checks and balances is essential to prevent this outcome.
Jonathan Turley, author of “Rage and the Republic: the Unfinished Story of the American Revolution”
Q: Why did the American Revolution avoid the fate of the French Revolution according to your book?
America combined Enlightenment principles with a carefully designed republic that protected minority rights, avoiding the direct democracy path that led to the Terror in France.
Jonathan Turley, author of “Rage and the Republic: the Unfinished Story of the American Revolution”
Q: How would you define rage in the context of a revolution?
Rage is a driving force behind revolutions, giving people license to act boldly, but it must be disciplined within a constitutional framework to prevent descent into tyranny.
