    Hillary Rodham Clinton in Conversation with David Remnick

    Across decades of public life — as First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, and presidential candidate — Hillary Rodham Clinton has become one of the most consequential American leaders of our time. She sits down with The New Yorker's David Remnick for a candid, live conversation — a taping of The New Yorker Radio Hour — about the state of American life as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, and the extraordinary political moment we find ourselves in: the pressures testing democratic institutions at home; mounting instability abroad in the Middle East, Asia, and Ukraine; and the uneasy intersection of leadership, power, media, and public trust. Working to improve the lives of all Americans, Clinton is an icon for women and girls the world over. And in a changing world, her perspective on the possibilities of American life — and the threats we face both at home and abroad — is indispensable. In her recent memoir, Something Lost, Something Gained, she reflects on the challenges and dangers of a polarized nation and the reshaping of domestic and foreign policy — offering a blueprint for what each of us can do to strengthen our bonds with one another and fight for our democracy. Expect an evening of candor, insight, and extraordinary perspective — a conversation not only about American politics at 250, but about the character of the country itself, and the choices that shape our future.

    Rachel Maddow with Steven J. Ross — The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy

    Emmy Award winning MS NOW host Rachel Maddow and Pulitzer Prize finalist Steven J. Ross join us for an urgent conversation about the new threat of white supremacy and antisemitism in the US, and what the rise and fall of hate groups in the wake of WWII can teach us about fighting it — and Ross' new book, The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy. The American myth of a steady march toward tolerance and freedom has been shattered in the last decade by a rising tide of bigotry and antisemitism. But the truth is that the forces of hate in America have been around for a long time. In her hit podcast Ultra and her #1 bestselling book Prequel, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the fringes of our politics for the better part of a century. And in The Secret War Against Hate, Steven J. Ross tells the story of the antifascist heroes who rose up after WWII to stop the proliferation of hate groups who aimed to "finish the job Hitler had begun" on American soil. How can we stop racism and anti-Semitism in America today? What does our history tells us about what works in this battle, and what doesn't? Rachel Maddow and Steven J. Ross, two of America's foremost experts on the fight against American fascism, join us for an urgent discussion about the history — and the future — of our fight for a more just, more perfect union. "At a time of renewed interest in America's previous fights with fascism, no one has done more than Steven J. Ross to unearth the epic conflicts and characters at the heart of that history." ― Rachel Maddow
