The Gist - How John Lewis Conceived Of Change

David Greenberg is out with the first biography of Congressman John Lewis, which offers an examination of the highly influential legislator's activism, congressional record, and how his theories of change themselves changed depending on the role he played. Plus, a recent This American Life episode about the Democrats' uncommitted delegates raised the stakes, but left out details. Also on the show, examining Kamala Harris' claims that under a second Trump administration, there will be no patriotic staffers to erect guardrails.

CORRECTION: A previous version of The Spiel errantly mentioned that Michigan had the largest Palestinian population of any U.S. state. We corrected the mistake.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

The Bulwark Podcast - David French: 2017 Trump Is Gone

 A whole faction of Red America thinks the judges and tax cuts in the first half of Trump's presidency were the 'real' Trump. But the Jan 6 'burn it all down' guy is the real version—as Tucker's weird parable about a violent and angry dad makes clear. Plus, MAGA's confidence in the election results, Cheney's abortion comments, and the surreal double standard where all the rules apply to Kamala, but none apply to Trump.

David French joins Tim Miller.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - A Ka-meh-la Town Hall

The vice president spent 90 minutes with CNN last night at a town hall just as polling information was suggesting she is on a downward slope. We evaluate her performance and try to explain why the "Trump as fascist" line of attack doesn't seem to have the oomph the Harris campaign wants. And why the Biden administration is now acting in ways that seem to portend a Russian victory in Ukraine. Give a listen.

Federalist Radio Hour - United We Stand, Divided We Fall — How The Nation Reached Historic Polarization

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Tim Goeglein, vice president of External and Government Relations for Focus on the Family, joins The Federalist's Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how the United States of America has devolved into the Divided States of America. Goeglein breaks down how radicalism in "overdrive" in the 1960's spurred a cultural revolution that would have lasting impacts on the nation. While key figures like Margaret Sanger, Roger Baldwin, and countless others died before they could see the effects of their radical left-wing ideology on the country, their efforts to upend the American way of life have proved fruitful — but not all hope is lost, Goeglein explains.


You can find Goeglein’s book, Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream, here.

Bad Faith - Why Democrats Won’t Fix The Housing Crisis (w/ David Fields)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Political economist David Fields joins Bad Faith for a conversation that goes beyond housing policy to unpack the very roots of why the Democratic Party seems unable to provide basic improvements for working people -- even when they're in power. He clarifies the YIMBY vs. NIMBY debate, how YIMBYism has been appropriated by corporate developers, and how false economic narratives (e.g. the supply/demand curve) have been weaponized to justify real-estate lobby-approved solutions to the housing crisis.
