So you just got fired. Advice from author Beth Solomon

Beth Solomon’s claim to fame, she told me earlier today, is getting fired from more jobs than anyone she knows. So she knows a bit about getting up, restarting and cranking away. (I, like many other Substackers, empathize with this and have even turned it into a strategic career decision.) Solomon started out as a journalist working with ABC News and Voice of America, then as a former speechwriter for former Sen. Sam Nunn, and later a host of C-Suite jobs — which she talks about with much levity and wisdom. You can pick up her book here or your favorite local bookstore, it’s got a blend of some very amusing anecdotes (in hindsight) and practical advice on how to build a network for yourself, setting out on your own and putting on your gameface after receiving an HR-sterilized punch to the gut. ** Programming note: No 4p ET livestream today, doing some emergency HVAC work here at the house with some remote help from 24sight family member Sean Boston. In case you missed it yesterday, here was my absolute laugh romp with The Julie Mason on SiriusXM Channel 124. Friends, support me with a paid subscription. It’s $5/month, $50/year. Your support keeps the lights on here, my family fed and even the heat on. It also frees me to work the field to bring back good reporting, from the Capitol to the mean streets of Washington, D.C. and beyond. And paying subscribers can sign up for a one-on-one 30-minute Zoom call with me. (Email - tom@24sight.news to schedule.) Some topics Solomon and I covered: * Navigating the jungle of workplaces and the cold realities of office and organizational politics * Why employers are so keen on new workers, and overlook dedicated employees — leading to high turnover * What are some options for workers who, having chosen careers in the Washington region for their stability, could now be facing the axe if the incoming president and his team follow through on their promises of mass layoffs. * Setting out on your own with the help of the internet * Handicapping votes in the U.S. Senate, as Cabinet nominees angle for big jobs, or are blocked This is a public episode.

Profane insights into Trumplandia and The Realignment with Charlie Sykes (Ep. 3)

“Now I’m a conservative, and I remember we’re all rolling our eyes at Bernie Sanders, ‘The millionaires and the billionaires’. And it’s like, ‘f*** me.’ The billionaires have decided it’s not enough for us to be really, really wealthy and to have the biggest yacht. We actually want power.” That’s the great Charlie Sykes on the latest episode of The Ground Game Pod (get it here on the Substacks, on YouTube or wherever you listen to quality pods.) Sykes is a veteran conservative, radio legend and recently moderated a talk between Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney onstage in Wisconsin. If your political compass isn’t spinning you haven’t been paying attention. But even for the time of The Realignment, this has been momentous. And Charlie’s here to make sense of it all. Show notes * “That event Monday was pretty much dogs and cats lying down together” * The receding Republican vote in Milwaukee’s “WOW” counties * Are there shy Kamala Harris voters? * How the Democratic ground game in Wisconsin usurped the old power of the Priebus, Paul Ryan ground game the GOP used to have a decade ago * In 2016, Trump closed with message discipline and won. Eight years later, that discipline is gone * Should Gen. John Kelly go on TV for Harris? * How the neomonarchists moved from the fringes of conservative movement to the crown princes of The Swamp * Clinton avoided the Rust Belt in ‘16, Harris has swarmed it And for the real heads in the 24sight News community, catch this 24sight Pod with Charlie from a few months ago. Lots more coming as we barrel into Election Day. Keep it here, friends. This is a public episode.

"Like talking to the Irish about the Potato Famine" - Mike Madrid on the Latino shift to Trump (Ep. 2)

Mike Madrid knows Latino voters. The co-founder of The Lincoln Project, former political director of the California Republican Party and author most recently of The Latino Century explains the stakes in the closing days of the 2024 race and what Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are doing right and wrong in courting this pivotal (and soon to be dominant) group of Americans. If you’ve got a good guest who understands the dynamics shaping this race, email tom@24sight.news - patrick@theillinoize.com. And make sure to subscribe on all your favorite podcast apps. You can find the YouTube here. Full list on our YouTube Page. Show notes: Why American latinos are slamming the door shut on new immigrants Why the 2012 GOP autopsy was wrong, historicall wrong “There’s very little evidence that shows Latinos becoming getting more conservative, there’s a lot of evidence showing them becoming more populist” “Latinos don’t believe he (Trump) is talking about them” “43% of latinos think we should be building a wall … The Overton Window on latinos has changed dramatically” “It’s kinda like talking to the Irish about the potato famine. Like let’s go over our import policy in Ireland. (3rd and 4th gen Latin-Americans) view it as so far back that they think they’re not talking about them, or, increasingly, they believe those people should be here illegally either.” “Back in the day, the Irish were not viewed as white, the Italians were not viewed as white … Generationally, we have melted in to the pot and moved on” “They’re voting like their non-college educated white counterparts on the construction sites” “That ethnic anchor is much weaker by the third generation” Madrid’s up at the 26’ mark. Before that we’ve got our four downs, and after our Q n A. This is a public episode.
