2020/09/11

The Republican Party not only produced the corrupt, failed presidency of Donald Trump, but it has supported Trump at every turn.What is to be done with a party that embraces a president who is a traitor, a con man, a racist, a serial abuser of women?We sat down with two notable former Republicans, Washington Post columnist Max Boot and political scientist and commentator Tom Nichols to discuss what comes next for the GOP.Their answers suggest that a defeat of Donald Trump will not be enough to fix

The two defining crises of the past 40 years in the US have been the 9/11 attacks and the COVID crisis.In both cases, government lies and bad government policies made matters much worse.In both cases, hundreds of thousands died as a result.The wars that resulted from 9/11 still fester.And as for the COVID crisis, we could see the number of dead in the US double before the end of the year...because the president is so resistant to doing what's right.With the publication of Bob Woodward's new book,

As former U.S. Under Secretary of State Richard Stengel says during this special podcast, when he interviewed Putin several years ago, the Russian president cited the collapse of the USSR as the greatest tragedy of the past century.And, as Richard notes, Putin has been on the attack against what he perceives as those that brought Russia down ever since.This led to his support for Donald Trump in 2016 and once again, it leads him to support Trump again in 2020.And Trump is returning the favor, making

2020/08/27

After the lawlessness and lies of the GOP convention it is clearer than ever that another term in office for Donald Trump would be devastating for democracy in America.And given the willingness of the GOP to violate the law and the fragility of political leads in times like these, you would have to be, in the words of our regular Rosa Brooks, deranged to think Trump might not achieve victory in November.We discuss that possibility, the conventions, yet another instance of police barbarism, further

Every four years a heated debate occurs among foreign policy and national security nerds about why foreign policy and national security just don't seem to be so important in our presidential campaigns.But 2020 will be different right?After all, Russia attacked our last elections, a global pandemic and economic crisis has paralyzed the country, China is a rising threat...wherever you look there are big international issues of central concern.Everywhere you look, that is, except the political

There is one and only one major hoax associated with the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian government during the 2016 elections.That's the hoax hoax, Trump's denials that he worked with Russian intelligence to get elected.This week's report from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence should finally set that hoax to rest.The bipartisan report not only documents in detail how closely Team Trump worked with the GRU, it also detailed many of the ways they sought to obstruct justice,

As many US observers watched brave Belarussians take to the streets to protest the rigged election engineered by their autocratic president, they wondered aloud on social media whether the US would soon be going through the same thing.We too have an autocratic president.He too depends on the support of Vladimir Putin.He too has no respect for democracy and is working to rig our upcoming elections.Anger is building among Americans as well, and many worry that the next step after an unfair election

We summarize a busy and disturbing week of world events with a bit of free-association between Rosa Brooks of Georgetown Law Center, Kori Schake of AEI and David Sanger of the New York Times.It takes us from Bill Barr suggesting Democrats were adherents of French enlightenment philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau to the reality that Barr is much more a Hobbesian to other Hobbesians from Minsk to Hong Kong to a president who can't handle the truth and an intelligence community and White House staff that

For four decades America has been led away from the values of opportunity and creative ingenuity that led it to become the greatest power in the world.Inequality has grown, society has grown more divided, and powerhas grown more concentrated in the hands of the few.How we got here is revealed in Kurt Andersen's brilliant, insight-rich new book "Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History."In this episode we talk to Andersen about the book, about the choices we currently face as a

America has had disputed election results in the past.2016 comes to mind.So does 2000.So does 1876.But, in all these cases and with all the instances of trying to fiddle with democracy that have marked our history, there has never been a case where the President of the United States and his entire executive branch seemed so committed to rigging the election in their favor or, short of that, to throwingthe election results into doubt.Whether it is seeking foreign intervention (again) or threatening

Thanks to his trusty personal defense attorney Bill Barr and his defender in the Senate Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump has gotten away with betraying his country, enriching himself at the expense of the public, sidestepping national security rules, quashing his opponents and rewarding enemies of the US around the world.But, for now, we have to view that as water under the bridge.An election is coming up and everything Trump and Barr have said or done this week and over the past few weeks makes it
