    The guy in Minneapolis was a veteran of the force, not a simple couch commando. Denigrating each other doesn’t solve our real problems facing the society.

    Well, per usual, Jared Yates Sexton has hit it out of the park once again.

    “The truth sets us free” (John 8.32); it need not make us happy. “The truth serves only a world that lives by it.” (Helen Hayes, First Lady of the American Theatre, as the Dowager Empress in Anatole Litvak’s enduring classic, Anastasia.)

    For us constitutional democracy adherents, the anointing on Sexton’s life continues to flow unabated. Thank you, my Brother, for continuing to set your face like a flint toward that which... more

  • The best of political podcasts!

    Your interview with Jared Yates Sexton was one of the very best I’ve ever listened to! We are in very troubling times! Your conversation about China’s growth into a world power reminded me of the mad rush to China around 2000. I managed 2 divisions of an international tech company at the time. I asked our American VP of Asia what would happen in 25 yrs when the West had built China’s economy. His stunned look told me he hadn’t even thought about it. His reply that “they’ll be grateful” was so r... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Juliet Jeske decodes Fox News to expose how 30% of Americans see Trump's effect on the USA.
Q: How powerful is Fox News in shaping American perception, and how does that influence democracy?
Fox News wields a significant influence by creating a repetitive, emotionally charged narrative that can redefine public understanding and political engagement for a large segment of viewers, effectively acting as a powerful megaphone for certain viewpoints and policy positions.
Simon Rosenberg on Democratic strategy to counter Trump’s plans to rig the midterms.
Q: What role do the courts and legal strategies play in countering manipulation of elections?
Legal strategies should be complemented by political storytelling; use war gaming and public education to normalize the discussion and prepare the public for possible scenarios while pursuing robust, nonpartisan defense mechanisms.
Simon Rosenberg on Democratic strategy to counter Trump’s plans to rig the midterms.
Q: How do we respond to Trump's ongoing autocratic moves without scaring voters away?
Frame the discussion around resilience and practical protections—show people concrete steps being taken to secure elections and demonstrate that democracy can be defended through collective action and not panic.
Simon Rosenberg on Democratic strategy to counter Trump’s plans to rig the midterms.
Q: Simon, what does a winning Democratic strategy look like in this moment?
A comprehensive approach across many fronts: bolstering election infrastructure, educating the public about potential threats, leveraging legal war rooms and state-level preparedness, and elevating a muscular, patriotic narrative that defends democracy without stirring fear.
Ryan Busse on the cruelty of Republican leadership that will hand Democrats a win at the midterms.
Q: How do we convince these people that regulation is actually there to protect them and support them rather than it be seen as the Republicans brand it as kind of red tape?
This election presents a chance for Democrats to show how regulation can benefit all, especially as they realize the negative effects of unregulated capitalism.
