Combat veteran Kris Goldsmith reminds us when fascism grows it grows in our backyards. That if we want to tear this movement up from it’s roots, we need to do it together. As Kris says, with unity comes strength, and whether you learned that unity fighting side by side on a foreign battlefield or standing side by side in your hometown, we need to support each other as we step up and fight for our country.

What if we Tried Something Different?: A Conversation with Joanna Johnson 1:03:27

11 days ago1:03:27

1:03:27

Today’s guest Joanna Johnson, internet sensation and brilliant teacher otherwise known as Unlearn16, reminds us that capitalism isn’t our natural state. We pretend this economic system failing us is out of our hands, but we’re the one’s who built it. It’s man made. We can change the game because we made the game, and it’s possible the fascism we’re seeing is simply the result of end stage capitalism. We’re at a tipping point, and the time might be coming to flip the board. What if we weren’t afraid of change? What if we built something new? What if things really could get better? But you have to understand where you came from to know where you’re going, so that’s what we’re going to focus on today.

The Corruption is Endless. A Conversation with Robert Reich 47:36

18 days ago47:36

47:36

As today’s guest, Robert Reich, former US Secretary of Labor, wrote in his substack “Brace yourselves. The economy is heading into very bad weather.” That while prices and unemployment are going up. Everything else is going down. This is, of course, the polar opposite of what President Trump campaigned on, and exactly we, the president’s opposition said he would do. If anything good is going to emerge from this nightmare, it’s going to take the majority of us uniting to collectively demand it. That we can’t just be AGAINST this hideous, lawless, authoritarian version of America, where our President is a corrupt grifter surrounded by other grifters, we have to be FOR something better. That perhaps the silver lining of this horror will be the coalitions being built to fight the regime finding common ground on which to build something that finally works for all of us.

It’s OK to Feel Scared: A Conversation with Jocelyn Benson 43:31

It’s ok to feel scared right now. To be angry and frustrated and not know what to do. It’s fine to have those feelings, but as Michigan Secretary of State, and leading candidate for Governor, Jocelyn Benson asks, what do we do next? How do we stand up for what’s right when the stakes are high? How do we change the world not let the world change us? We talk today about finding purpose in rage, in the importance of building the bravery muscle, and to move forward even when we’re scared. History shows us when Americans fight, when we organize, when we don’t back down, we win. We can’t forget that now. Now, we move forward.

Flip the Table. A Conversation with Alencia Johnson 53:52

This administration is unhinged - a government ignoring the constitution, defying the courts, literally disappearing people off the streets? Every day they seem more brazen, more illiberal, more unlawful, and yet, when we see the tide turning on people like Pete Hegseth or the hesitation to just blindly invoke the insurrection act, we see that public pressure still works. So, today, instead of talking about the news, or having a conversation with one of the fabulous organizations working to save us - we’re going to talk about saving ourselves. Join me and award-winning thought leader and best selling author Alencia Johnson as we discuss the her new book: Flip the Tables: The Everyday Disruptor’s Guide to Finding Courage and Making Change because, God knows, that’s what we need to do now.

America appears to be in free fall and 30% of the country seems on board for a million decisions they didn’t vote for and will only hurt them? How is that possible? David Pakman joins us to talk about his new book, instant New York Times bestseller, The Echo Machine: How Right Wing Extremism Created a Post Truth America, which addresses how the fall of critical thinking and rise of reactionary politics has done such destruction to our nation and what can be.

The Trump administration is actively seeking to destroy everything we know, but we can’t allow it. We need to fight back. Do more than we’re doing now. This is a nation built on causing a ruckus. So, that’s what the good citizens of America must do. We must recommit to the principles of truth, justice and freedom and stand up and fight for them. Trump is waging a systemic war against facts, intelligence and the rule of law. Our elections and our very sense of agency and power within this nation are at stake.

Everyone Gets Left Behind: A Conversation with Commander Bobby R. Jones 1:07:46

Current leadership isn’t just letting our military down, they’re setting them up. Cutting benefits, firing veterans, changing allies….Our soldiers might be, as Commander Jones says, “trained to absorb a lot” but they shouldn’t have to absorb this kind of disrespect. The American military are not there to make the president appear more manly, or be used as an enforcement brigade to deliver real estate deals or bring political enemies to heal, so what happens when the administration asks our soldiers to do something for him but against the constitution? You don’t remove the kind of expertise from military leadership unless you have an agenda of which you know military leadership wouldn’t approve. So where are we, and what comes next?

Not Today Satan: A Conversation with Democracy’s Secret Weapon Skye Perryman 46:28

If people are wondering where the pushback to the nightmare of the Trump administration is, it’s in the courts. In the absence of executive leadership, and with the abandonment of of legislative leadership, the judicial branch has gone from democracy’s last line of defense to it’s first. In fact, there are lawyers and activists working day and night to hold off the worst instincts of presidency. As Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman says, “The most powerful tool the Trump administration has is to convince us we have no power, but it’s not true. There are people fighting everyday, not just to hold off the worst decisions, but to continue to move us forward towards something better.” Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it. Which is why, now more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work to tell the truth, when it’s increasingly hard to find.

Trump’s first cabinet meeting was basically run by Elon. Republicans voted for a budget that would cut Medicaid and SNAP to ensure billionaires get even more money. Republican representatives are choosing to forego town halls after realizing they can’t answer for their party’s actions. Trump put out the disgusting Trump Gaza video and showed the world America is now Russia’s ally in the Oval Office. So, how do we look at all this and still have hope? Well that’s why we’re talking to Simon Rosenberg the author of Hopium Chronicles. To see what we can do to not only protect our country, but protect ourselves.
