How Trump Is Using Christianity To Power The MAGA Movement
April 04, 2024 21:13 - 40 minutes - 37 MBDonald Trump has enjoyed strong support from white Evangelical Christians since his first run for the presidency. But recently, he has made a specific brand of Christianity a centerpiece of his campaign. He repeatedly casts himself as a messiah figure, even comparing his legal troubles to the persecution of Christ. He regularly ends his rallies with prayer. And last week he started hocking a version of the Bible that also includes copies of the founding documents of the United Stat...
Donald Trump's Family History With Alzheimer's Disease
March 28, 2024 21:15 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBDonald Trump has made cognitive decline a major issue in this year’s presidential race. On the campaign trail he accuses Biden of impairment, while boasting of his own brilliance. Yet, this line of attack is nothing new. He has long accused rivals of mental frailty, weaponizing the issue of dementia for his own gain. Washington Post investigative reporter Michael Kranish says Trump’s fixation on mental fitness came after years of watching his father’s own experience with Alzheimer...
Trump's Money Troubles
March 21, 2024 21:21 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBDonald Trump owes the state of New York almost half-a-billion dollars in fines. This stems from a civil fraud suit that found the Trump Organization engaged in a decades-long conspiracy to lie about the value of their assets. A deadline to pay is looming and his lawyers say the former president does not have the cash, nor can he find a company to cover the bond. This comes on top of a 91.6 million dollar fine in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case that he posted earlier this month...
How Old Is Too Old? Age And The 2024 Election
March 14, 2024 21:50 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBHow old is too old to be president? It’s a question many Americans are asking as Joe Biden and Donald Trump face off for the office. President Biden is 81. Over the last four years, his hair has thinned, his gait has stiffened. And the media, not to mention his opponent, have pounced on his verbal gaffes, like when he mixed up the presidents of Egypt and Mexico, or when he seemed to momentarily forget the name of “Hamas.” Meanwhile, Donald Trump is 77 and has experienced his own m...
What Trump’s Legal Victories Say About The Role Of The Courts In Our Democracy
March 07, 2024 21:56 - 48 minutes - 44 MBThose who see Donald Trump as a threat to democracy have taken solace in the cases piling up against him. There were civil cases that carried massive financial penalties. There were four criminal cases whose trials were set to take place before the November election. And there was the question of the Fourteenth Amendment that could have barred trump from the ballot. But two recent Supreme Court decisions have changed that. “It’s going to be Biden versus Trump,” says Ian Millhiser...

February 22, 2024 21:54 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBLast week the Russian government announced the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the Kremlin’s harshest and most well-known critic. For more than a decade, Navalny campaigned against the corruption of Vladimir Putin and his allies. He ran for mayor of Moscow, crisscrossed the country in an attempted run for president, and offered a younger generation a glimpse of a post-Putin Russia. During that time, he also endured arrests, beatings, and in 2020, a near fatal poisoning....
The Supreme Court, Donald Trump And The 2024 Election
February 15, 2024 23:16 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBLast week Supreme Court justices heard arguments about whether the state of Colorado could ban Donald Trump from the ballot. This week, Trump petitioned the justices to temporarily block a decision by a federal appeals court regarding his claim of presidential immunity. “The real question to me is how do these two cases, the Colorado case and the January 6th prosecution, end up fitting together,” says Stephen Vladeck, professor at the University of Texas School of Law and author of...

February 08, 2024 23:03 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBIn 2020 Oregon voters overwhelmingly passed a measure that decriminalized drug use.

February 01, 2024 23:28 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MBOver the last year, a leap in technology has put powerful generative AI tools in the hands of practically anyone with a computer. This means creating fake audio, images, and video has never been easier. “That’s a democratization of a technology that should terrify us,” says Hany Farid, professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. “Because now I can make the president of the United States, or a candidate for the highest office in the United States, say an...

January 26, 2024 04:56 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBA record surge of migrants at the U.S.- Mexico border has pushed politicians on both sides of the aisle to look for ways to ease pressure on what many consider to be an overloaded, out-of-date, and needlessly bureaucratic immigration system.

January 18, 2024 23:20 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBIn poll after poll, voters around the country say their number one issue is the economy.

Understanding The 14th Amendment Case Against Donald Trump
December 21, 2023 21:42 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MBWill the 14th Amendment prevent Donald Trump from running for president? It’s an idea that has gone from a longshot hope of liberal activists, to a buzzed about theory among respected legal scholars to a very real threat to Trump’s candidacy. In a bombshell decision earlier this week the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump engaged in insurrection and should not be allowed to participate in the state’s Republican primary. The former president has said he will appeal to the U.S....
Understanding Anti-Zionism And Antisemitism
December 14, 2023 22:09 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBCan you be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic? In other words, can you question the actions -- or existence -- of Israel without being seen as prejudiced against Jewish people?

What Might A Second Trump Presidency Look Like?
December 07, 2023 22:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBNot long ago, the idea that Donald Trump could return to the White House seemed like a MAGA-fueled fantasy.
