    Frank Sharry Says Democrats Could Still Win on Immigration

    Third Way Senior Fellow Frank Sharry has been at the center of nearly every major push for immigration reform for decades — and watched almost all of them fall apart. Now he wants Democrats to reckon with where they went wrong on immigration, and how the party can reclaim the middle in the midterms and beyond. Sarah McCammon spoke with Sharry about how Democrats lost credibility on the border, the “both-and” answer he thinks can win back swing voters, and how four decades working with refugees shaped his view of the issue.  IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 — Cold open 1:33 – Both parties captured by the loudest factions 4:33 — Biden's border fix came too late 8:34 — Secure the border, reform enforcement at home 19:18 — The "both-and-" answer costs and the Atlantic op-ed that cost Sharry old friends  30:57 — Order and generosity, "two sides of the same coin" 39:20 — Sharry's origin story 43:44 — The math behind Trump's demonization of immigrantsWe have some exciting news to share: the podcast will soon have a new look and a new name.

    Jake Auchincloss Wants to Save Democrats from Permanent Minority

    Most kids hang posters of their favorite bands on their walls. Jake Auchincloss decorated his room with pictures of the Founding Fathers. His grandfather, the son of Jewish refugees, snuck into a Marine recruiting station as a teenager during World War II, over his mother’s objections. Representative Auchincloss joined the Marines to carry on that legacy. He commanded infantry in Afghanistan, then came home and ran for office. Now he is pushing the Democratic Party toward the center—and back to winning.  Sarah McCammon spoke with Representative Auchincloss about how Afghanistan shaped his view of American power, why he calls social media a failed society, and the governing vision he thinks can redefine the center around the middle class. IN THIS EPISODE: 0:00 — Cold Open and Introduction 1:01 — Admiration for the Founding Fathers 5:42 — Afghanistan and American power 10:23 — Redefining the center around the middle class 19:07 — Patriotic, productive populism 21:57 — Chatbots and developing brains 28:41 — Antisemitism in both parties 36:03 — The Israel aid vote and AIPAC 38:40 — A governing vision for the middle class Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Elissa Slotkin is on Trump’s List… and She’s Fighting Back

    Elissa Slotkin arrived in New York City as a student one day before 9/11—and before the smoke cleared, she knew what she wanted to do with her life. She went on to serve in the CIA, did three tours in Iraq, and worked in the White House under two presidents: one Republican and one Democrat. Michigan voters elected Senator Slotkin to the US Senate in 2024—the same night Donald Trump carried the state. She won in part by winning in places Kamala Harris couldn’t. And her tenure in the Senate has been defined by a willingness to take on powerful interests and stick up for what she believes in. After Senator Slotkin and other intelligence and military veterans made a public statement reminding American troops that they can refuse illegal orders, President Trump accused her of sedition. Lately she's also been taking on what she sees as the failures of her own party. Sarah McCammon spoke with Senator Slotkin in Washington, DC, about how her mother's illness and the AIDS crisis shaped her politics, what she means when she says Democrats need more alpha energy, and why she wants a crowded 2028 primary. #ElissaSlotkin #MidwestPolitics #DemocraticParty IN THIS EPISODE: 0:00 — Cold Open and Introduction 1:39 — Why Slotkin keeps showing up in the Midwest 6:04 — How her mother shaped her politics 13:44 — From 9/11 and the CIA to elected office 16:02 — The illegal-orders video and the threats that followed 21:09 — “Alpha energy” and the “happy warrior” trap 24:15 — Calling “balls and strikes” on Israel and Lebanon 28:34 — Why she wants to keep Chinese-made  cars out of the United States 31:05 — The Democratic Party’s search for something new Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Brooke Jenkins Won’t Apologize for Prosecuting Crime

    Brooke Jenkins was a homicide prosecutor in San Francisco when she walked out the door and helped lead a campaign to fire her own boss. That boss was one of the most famous progressive prosecutors in America. He had promised fewer prosecutions and a new model of justice. But as drug markets spread and theft videos went viral, voters in one of America’s most liberal cities decided the experiment had gone too far. After they recalled him in 2022, Jenkins was appointed to replace him. Since then, San Francisco has become a test of a question Democrats face everywhere: Can the party get serious about crime and disorder without giving up on reform? Sarah McCammon spoke with District Attorney Jenkins about how she found her calling prosecuting violent crime, how she balances holding dangerous offenders accountable and partnering with at-risk communities, and what San Francisco can teach national Democrats.  IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 — Cold open 1:14 — Jenkins breaks with her boss 2:31 — Rejecting the pendulum swing on crime 7:03 — Enforcing every law 22:48 — The loss that led Jenkins to prosecution 28:38 — Democrats and the public safety argument 31:19 — Deadly force and the limits of federal power Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Justin Bibb on Winning City Hall at 34

    Justin Bibb grew up in a house where public safety was personal. His father was a police officer and firefighter, his grandmother led the neighborhood watch, and those experiences shaped how he thinks about government, safety, and civic responsibility. Even after leaving Cleveland, Bibb never stopped thinking about how to make his hometown stronger. He eventually returned to run for mayor, becoming one of the youngest leaders of a major American city. Today, he's focused on policing, the housing affordability crisis, and the long work of revitalizing a Rust Belt city that has spent decades reinventing itself. Sarah McCammon talks with Bibb about what it takes to govern through difficult tradeoffs, why he believes cities are leading the country on problem-solving, and what national Democrats can learn from local leaders delivering results.

He argues that transparency is the missing ingredient, and lays out what he thinks it would actually take to build a universal healthcare system that works.
