POLITICS
As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force. Join Rachel Maddow for Episode One, launching June 10, 2024, and follow now.

Concerned for World Leadership

Rachel Maddow has a unique ability to draw upon history, past social and cultural events to put into perspective current events. The roadways of today’s events have previously been travelled by others. Many answers sometime are staring directly at us if we dare to look. Rachel Maddow artfully highlights this. As the US is facing a very uncertain future between the political choices the country faces, it reminds me of a line from Star Trek, “the needs of the many, out weigh those of the few, OR THE ONE”. There is a delicate balance between editorial opinion and fact based news. Rachel Maddow strike a nice equilibrium. Concerned from Canada

I guess if you want to listen to someone’s opinion about topics rather than just the facts that would allow you to use your critical thinking to come to a conclusion this is the pod cast for you. Zero critical thinking involved….. by the host or you.
Donald Trump

I love your honest, straightforward, telling it like it is, take on the most vile person in American politics. I wonder why nobody seems to enlighten Donald Trump as to why he lost 2020 election and is going to lose 2024 too. He made more enemies than friends in the four years in office by his continuing boorish, bullying behaviour! His mostly white MAGA base seem to have forgotten, apart from indigenous people whose land was stolen from under their feet by the white man, that every one of them are immigrants whose ancestors escaped from communist/fascist regimes and are now more than willing to put a wanna be Hitler-like dictator in the highest office in the country/world! Their ancestors must be turning in their graves at their betrayal. As for the token black/brown men who support a known bigot, they are traitors to their slave ancestors.
