So Many New Podcasts This Week

The Week of June 9-16

Let’s start with my interview with the brilliant political scientist Steven Fish, where we talk about his new book, "Comeback: Routing Trumpism, Reclaiming the Nation, and Restoring Democracy's Edge." We talk about why strong leadership appeals to human psychology and why the tactics of political dominance work. We also examine why current Democratic messaging often misses the mark with voters, politically and psychologically.

We agree on who Democrats need to reclaim patriotic symbols and adopt a more assertive and emotional approach to connect with voters. The conversation covers the need to highlight achievements confidently and ridicule opponents effectively to counter authoritarian figures like Trump.

Next, I’m joined by Steven Brill, the CEO of NewsGuard. We dive into the massive disinformation landscape of America today, examining the infrastructure of lies that dominates the media landscape of far too many American voters.

His new book, The Death of Truth, breaks it all down.

Over that The Lincoln Project Podcast, I’m joined by Kwame Jackson and Jason Palmer of Together! PAC, which uses the tools and platforms of GenZ voters — TikTok, Twitch, and others — to engage GenZ voters where they live digitally.

We also get into Donald Trump’s N-word scandal, because Kwame was a witness to Trump’s behavior on that early season of The Apprentice…you don’t want to miss it!
