    Update:

  • Great pod with Rev Jim Wallis.

    He spoke so eloquently and hit the nail on the head. Thank you for having him on. My husband and I listened twice through the mention of his first day in South Africa with Bishop Desmond Tutu. We found some calm to ground us through a corrupt, authoritarian regime. Thanks again, always an interesting, thoughtful discussion.

  • Stunning

    The review you had with the clinical psychologist about Trump was riveting! I always enjoy your podcast but this one was jaw dropping. I can’t thank you enough for bringing this information to light. I have not yet heard any mention of this topic in the mainstream media. Thank you again!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Crafting a Magnetic Message. With Democratic Strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio.
Q: What do you think of these AI-generated videos that Trump has been using?
AI generates tactics that allow for rapid dissemination of narratives while emphasizing that the overarching narrative is a hallmark of authoritarian leaders.
Crafting a Magnetic Message. With Democratic Strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio.
Q: What should Democrats be saying about that big pile of debris alongside of the White House that shocked many people?
They need to highlight that this is a regime of the bullies for the billionaires by the bribes, a criminal syndicate hell bent on turning our government into a weapon against our people.
Crafting a Magnetic Message. With Democratic Strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio.
Q: Who are the ones today that you think are breaking through?
Besides Mamdani, Andy Beshear is a perfect example of a person who in his own way has withstood the opposition bait on these issues without presenting himself as Republican light.

Elie Mystal on the Supreme Court's "bigoted, miserable Republicans."

That's not true. The Voting Rights Act does not have a sunset provision.
