Lost Debate - Ceasefire, Trump’s First Week, Wildfire Politics
Ravi welcomes Bradley Tusk back to the show for a wide-ranging conversation on some of today’s most pressing issues. They kick things off with an analysis of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, exploring the geopolitical forces at play and the role Trump’s impending return to the White House may have had on its timing.
They then shift focus to New York City politics. Can Eric Adams pull off a reelection, or is Andrew Cuomo poised for a comeback? Ravi and Bradley tackle the city’s pressing challenges, from safety and quality-of-life issues to outdated scaffolding laws, all while looking ahead to the next mayoral race. Finally, they turn to the wildfires still ravaging Southern California, examining the political and logistical fallout of the fires and its impact on city governance.

What's next for labor under Trump? Biden's reputation as the most pro-union President in a generation took a hit with his opposition to the railroad strike a year ago and was further diminished following recent reporting that Kamala Harris dismissed Teamsters president Sean O'Brien saying, "I'll win with or without you." The Democrats' procedural bungle also resulted in the National Labor Relations Board swinging Republican two years before it had to. Certainly things could get worse under Trump, but is there evidence for optimism in the labor space? Author of the new book We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor & Winning Big Eric Blanc joins Bad Faith to make the case.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - H.R. McMaster on Trump: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Very few people have worked closely with President-elect Donald Trump, gotten fired, and walked away with a pretty balanced view of him.
But former national security adviser to Trump, Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster is an exception.
In his book At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House, he gives an honest account of working in Trump’s first administration: the good, the bad, and the unexpected.
Last week, McMaster sat down with Michael Moynihan at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia for an in-person Free Press Book Club event to discuss it all. They talk about his moments of tension with Trump, his understanding of Trump’s foreign policy, and how Trump’s rhetoric toward adversaries was actually good, despite being villainized by the press. And also, as McMaster puts it, Trump can be “so disruptive, he often interrupts his own agenda.”
They also get into the president-elect’s current cabinet picks—ones who McMaster sees as good, like Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz, but how good picks do not ensure a harmonious administration. They discuss Trump’s options for handling Russia, Iran, and Hamas in his second term, and why McMaster is surprisingly and cautiously optimistic about Trump 2.0.

The Gist - Fluoride Is Getting Dangerous: Is That BS?
Many American municipalities fluoridate their water supplies in hopes of lowering the number of cavities in our teeth. The practice stems from some pretty awful dental outcomes in early America that caused the U.S. military once upon a time to require a man have at least thirteen teeth to enlist. Conspiracy theorists decry this intrusion into their bodily fluids, claiming its lowering their IQs, but they're just lunatics ... or are they? Sadie Dingfelder joins the show for another round of Is That Bullshit? Also, a peace deal between Hamas and Israel nears. And cosmologists and cosmetologists are concerned with little red dots.
