    America’s $200 Billion Dollar Mistake: A Conversation with Garrett Graff
    Jul 29 2025
    We can’t afford pediatric cancer research, healthcare for seniors, or testing to make sure our water is clean, but we have $200 billion dollars to spend on masked, secret police to terrorize us on our streets? Really? This isn’t about safety, it’s about control, and it should deeply concern anyone who believes in human rights, due process and American freedom. Not to mention anyone who cares about the budget. Join me and award winning historian and journalist, Garrett Graff, as we discuss why creating such a polarized, partisan, and violent law enforcement group is such a detriment to American society.

  • Don’t Die: A conversation about American healthcare with Dr. Anahita Dua

    Don’t Die: A conversation about American healthcare with Dr. Anahita Dua
    Jul 15 2025
    America’s health is in danger. We’re not testing our food, water and drugs like we should. We’re limiting access to vaccines. We aren’t testing for covid or bird flu or any other communicable illness going around, and the people in charge of our health from the Administrator of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid to the Surgeon General are on a spectrum from quack science to anti science. On top of it all we have the MAHA movement on the rise with the power and financial grift of non-doctor, non-scientist RFK Jr. which will ultimately do the opposite of make America healthy. To discuss how much the group in charge of our health is actually bad for our health, we are joined today by Dr. Anahita Dua a cardiovascular surgeon, associate professor of surgery, and founder of Healthcare for Action.

    Jul 8 2025
    Historian and author, Rutger Bregman believes there’s an antidote to the sense of emptiness that so many people feel, and it’s the will to make the world a better place. To devote your career to the greater challenges of our time rather than just making money. That the time has come for a moral reawakening. That moral ambition not just financial ambition is what we need if we want to fix the world and actually like our place in it.

  • Hold the Line: with the ACLU’s Deborah Archer

    Hold the Line: with the ACLU’s Deborah Archer
    Jul 1 2025
    The foundations of our democracy are being torn apart and organizations like the ACLU are showing up every day to hold us together. As their president Deborah Archer says, this might be the work the ACLU was built for but we know they can’t be left to fight alone. We have been divided on purpose, but the time has come to come together. We can’t just have justice by geography, or gender, or sexual orientation. We, the people means everyone. Everyone deserves due process and civil rights. Everyone should have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and it’s up to everyone to bridge the gap between the America that was promised and the America that is.

  • Women’s Utility... Their Fertility - A Conversation with Planned Parenthood’s President, Alexis McGill Johnson

    Women’s Utility... Their Fertility - A Conversation with Planned Parenthood’s President, Alexis McGill Johnson
    Jun 17 2025
    In a world that’s become deeply transactional, we need to get more relational. We need to have the difficult conversations about access to health care, abortion care, women’s rights, minority rights, human rights…because ultimately they’re all connected. Planned Parenthood, an organization used by 1/3 of American women and 1/10 American men is under direct attack by the Big Beautiful Bill and it has nothing to do with health care and everything to do with control.

  • NO KINGS: A Conversation with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

    NO KINGS: A Conversation with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin
    Jun 10 2025
    Those who seek to destroy democracy want us to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, hopeless and alone. Which is why we need each other for strength, camaraderie, and courage. As the Resistance on Andor say, “I have friends everywhere.” As we do too. Friends, fellow countrymen, and brave patriots who want what we do. A country that’s free, fair, just and stable, and leaders who will represent us and fight back. If we can’t find those leaders then we might, however reluctantly, have to become those leaders. Join me and Ezra Levin, as we discuss being part of the active resistance and building an army of pro-democracy warriors starting with No Kings Day on June 14th.
