Week 14: How Has Trump Challenged Our Democratic Norms?

April 25, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

On our first week of Indivisible, CNN host Fareed Zakaria helped establish a set of democratic norms against which the Trump Administration’s actions could be measured. "Many of the things that make democracy what it is are not written in stone,” he told Brian Lehrer, explaining that what worried him most about a Trump presidency was a breach of what he called “informal norms.” Mocking the press, for example, “is not unconstitutional, but it violates a norm. It’s an attempt to intimidate,” ...

Week 13 Wrap: The Politics Of Everyday Life

April 21, 2017 04:00

As we're closing in on Trump's 100 days, the conversation is turning to his campaign promises and how they have (or have yet to) make an impact on our day to day life.

Week 13: How Do We Get America Back To Work?

April 20, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

When GM idled its plant in Janesville, Wisconsin in 2008, the town became emblematic of a crisis facing many communities in middle America. When traditional manufacturing leaves – for whatever reason – economies are turned upside down, the collective identity changes, and very often depression sets in. While it may seem outdated to some that a community will identify with a corporation, that’s just what happened for decades. Losing the plant left many in Janesville searching for a future. ...

Week 13: How The War On Drugs Affects Politics

April 19, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

Last month, President Donald Trump established a federal commission tasked with combating the use of drugs in America. Opioid deaths have tripled since 2000 and many communities are trying to figure out what to do. Trump often spoke about the opioid crisis on the campaign trail, and perhaps that’s why people living in towns greatly impacted by addiction turned out for him in the presidential election.  On this episode of Indivisible, host Charlie Sykes invites listeners to call in who are ...

Week 13: Life In The White House Press Room

The White House Press Room has had a storied history since it was created under President Nixon. Today, it's no longer just a source of news updates for journalists -- it's also good at generating its own headlines. President Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer has caught a lot of flack in his new post. last week he got in trouble for saying Adolf Hitler didn't use chemical weapons during the Holocaust. And there are his frequent attacks on the media. And Dippin' Dots.  On this episode of ...

Week 12 Wrap: Is Trump Still Focused on 'America First'?

April 14, 2017 04:00

This week on Indivisible we explored the notion of one of President Trump's top campaign priorities -- the notion of focusing Washington's attention to "America First." But in his 12 weeks in office, foreign affairs have taken on a major role in the Trump administration. Hosts Kai Wright and John Prideaux started the week with a deeper look at the U.S.'s bombing of a Syrian government airbase. Nick in Philadelphia wonders if Trump needed to act on Syria so soon into his presidency. Tuesda...

Week 12: America's Shrinking Middle Class

April 13, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

For decades, a majority of Americans were considered middle income. But in the last few years, the incredibly rich and the extremely poor became the majority -- surpassing their middle-class peers.  Economists broadly define the middle class as an income between $42,000 to $125,000 for a family of 3. But the financial pressures on families in this range are mounting – from day care to health care to higher education. Is America's middle class still thriving? Call us with your story 844-745...

Week 12: The Future of Race in Trump's America

April 11, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

A new civil rights era seemed to be rising in the last few years before the 2016 election. Under Obama, Black Lives Matter became an international activist movement and the shooting of young black men by police officers became a cause for outrage. Then Donald Trump became president and the national focus changed from forgotten black Americans to forgotten white Americans. Can we address the problems of both at the same time? Fordham University professor Christina Greer, author of Black Ethn...

April 10, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

Last week President Trump exercised his military muscle for the first time, ordering a missile strike of an airfield in Syria. The Trump administration says that Assad’s regime was responsible for a chemical attack and that the missile strike was a proportional response to a violation of the laws of war that prohibit chemical weapons. But why is this so significant? This is the first time the U.S. has attacked Syria and the Assad regime since the civil war started over 6 years ago. If you ...

Week 11: Is The American Dream Still Alive?

April 06, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

Our ethos – the American Dream – has propelled generations of immigrants to pursue a better life. The promise of success and prosperity through hard work or even luck brought many to our shores and borders and still does. But does the American Dream still exist for their descendants, the once robust middle class, or the new immigrants? And what about the less quantifiable metrics of the American Dream, like happiness? After all, it’s not just the economics of upward mobility that inspires u...

On this episode of Indivisible, we look ahead at President Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. And considering Trump's comments about China in the past -- that we need to balance the trade deficit, and that China needs to be a better watchdog for North Korea -- this looks to be a contentious meeting. China is not our friend. They are not our ally. They want to overtake us, and if we don’t get smart and tough soon, they will. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Febr...

Week 10: Religion And The Voting Booth

March 30, 2017 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

More young Americans than ever are in a group called the “nones”— or the religiously unaffiliated – and fewer of us are attending any sort of organized religious services. Still, many Americans self-identify as religious and, in fact, white Evangelical voters were instrumental in the success of Donald Trump’s presidential bid. How does faith identity influence political beliefs? Are Americans more or less engaged with their faith communities now? On this episode of Indivisible, host Kerri ...

But during his confirmation hearings on Monday, Gorsuch stated, “There’s no such thing as a Republican judge or a Democratic judge.
