    Jon Lovett Thinks Democrats Forgot How to Be Liberal

    Jon Lovett joins the show to talk about what Pod Save America is actually trying to be, why Democrats have struggled to find a coherent political identity, and how Lovett went from writing jokes for Hillary Clinton to becoming one of the biggest voices in liberal media. They get into Hassan Piker and the socialist left, the disappearance of old-fashioned liberalism, Kamala Harris, Katie Porter, Zohran Mamdani, the politics of Woke 1.0, antisemitism on the left, Israel and Zionism, and whether a life spent arguing about politics ever gets exhausting. Plus, the childhood humiliation Lovett says made him a Democrat.

    Have a conversation with Michael Moynihan | The Moynihan Report

    Before The Moynihan Report goes on a break to regroup (and reconstitute), Michael Moynihan takes a deep dive into the "stupid era" of modern media and the weaponization of history. From the useful idiots romanticizing the Cuban regime to the decline of the public intellectual in favor of the hyper-reactive influencer, Moynihan dissects how context is lost in our chopped-up media landscape. The conversation moves from the town square test of free societies to the curious parallels between far-left and far-right propaganda. Michael also answers listener questions regarding his tenure at The Fifth Column, his diverging paths with other media figures, and why studying history is the only defense against an epidemic of dangerous stupidity.

    Iran, War, and the Nuclear Panic Machine | The Moynihan Report

    The Moynihan Report is an in-depth 1-on-1 interview program broadcast live from 2WAY’s New York studio The U.S. says it is not a war. Reality looks different. Ships are being sunk in international waters. Militias are firing rockets across the region. Drones are crisscrossing the skies. Assassinations have become an instrument of statecraft. And the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow chokepoint through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil flows, is more dangerous than ever. This week we’re joined by Emmy-nominated journalist Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani, former correspondent for VICE News Tonight, to unpack the strange geopolitical standoff between Washington and Tehran and the narrative that seems to hover over it all: the idea that Iran is perpetually on the verge of building a nuclear bomb.

    Epstein 101 with Arick Fudali | The Moynihan Report

    Attorney Arick Fudali, managing partner at The Bloom Firm and counsel for 11 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, joins us to break down the latest controversy surrounding the DOJ’s release of millions of pages of Epstein documents. Fudali has said publicly that his clients were never contacted by the DOJ before the recent document dump, calling the rollout a “gross mishandling” that risks exposing survivors while withholding key information. We discuss what the files reveal, what’s still missing, and why survivors’ advocates say the process falls short on transparency, accountability, and basic protections. Subscribe to the YouTube!
