Lost Debate - Social Trust, Self-Silencing, and the Future of America

Ravi welcomes back Populace CEO Todd Rose to discuss his latest study, the Social Pressure Index: Private Opinion in America. Together, they unpack the disconnect between public opinion and private beliefs on critical issues shaping American society and politics.

From education reform to immigration policy, Todd and Ravi examine how the study's revelations challenge conventional wisdom about the nation's ideological divides. They explore America's fixation on meritocracy and the unexpected resurgence of traditional values, the country's declining trust in institutions, and what the study's findings may suggest about the upcoming presidential election.

The Gist - Israel Ponders A “Winnable” War

For years, the standard thinking was that the ongoing standoff between Israel and its enemies was "no win." Hamas was entrenched. Hezbollah was well-armed. But now, in the wake of a series of massively successful attacks that cut down Hezbollah leadership, and with Iran seeming to be disinclined to counterattack, that thinking is changing. We're joined by Steven Simon, a Clinton and Obama counter-terorrism hand and author of Grand Delusion: The Rise and Fall of American Ambition in the Middle East. Plus, Kamala Harris finally does a hard news interview, but with an interviewer who says Kamala Harris really doesn't need to do interviews.

State of the World from NPR - Israel Widens Its Airstrikes in Lebanon, How Will Iran Respond?

Israel began a series of attacks against the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah with pagers and walkie talkies that exploded. They then launched airstrikes targeting the group's leadership. One strike killed Hezbollah's leader of over thirty years, Hassan Nasrallah. The attacks are an effort to prevent Hezbollah from continuing to fire rockets at northern Israel, which it has been doing since the war in Gaza began. Israel's airstrikes are continuing to widen and their military is massing at the border, pointing to a possible ground invasion.

We'll hear from our correspondent in Beirut about the feeling on the ground there. We also hear about whether and how Iran might respond. Iran had been arming Hezbollah to counter Israel, and the weakening of the group is a blow to an important proxy of Iran's.

Consider This from NPR - How much can the upcoming vice presidential debate impact the election?

In a race where so much of the polling is within the margin of error — it seems as though any one thing could affect the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

But have vice presidential debates made a difference in past races?

NPR's senior White House Correspondent Tamara Keith dug into that existential, and political question.
