Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (Home Stretch: Pre-Election Reminders with David Pepper): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

After that insane rally at MSG we know we have to pull out every stop to make sure Donald Trump loses on November 5th. Talk to your friends, talk to your family. Despite the fact the country is drowning in negativity and lies, the truth is, the Democrats are winning. The majority of voters don’t want what MAGA, Trump and the Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership are offering but we have to make sure everyone understands what’s at stake. The country’s future is literally on us now. We need to ask ourselves what we’re doing to save it.   As always, IF YOU FIND WORTH IN WHAT WE DO, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (On Freedom: A Conversation with Timothy Snyder): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

As today’s guest, Timothy Snyder argues, “Freedom is the great American commitment” but we’ve lost sight of what it means. In his new book, ‘On Freedom’, the New York Times best selling author and Yale historian, digs into the concept of freedom, what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why upholding it our only chance for survival. “We’ll see how it goes” is not a plan. We have to DO something.   As always, IF YOU FIND WORTH IN WHAT WE DO, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (BONUS EPISODE: Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal - episode 4): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

Leigh guest reads in episode 4: part 2 of a fantastic and informative, limited series "Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal". Be sure to check out all episodes wherever you get your pods! xo- PG ---- This episode tells the fictional story of a middle school that opens its doors to unvaccinated students after a possible second -term President Trump eliminates Federal funding for schools with vaccine mandates. The story follows the school nurse, Stephanie Morris, as she navigates the influx of unvaccinated students and the resulting disease outbreaks that spread rapidly through the school and community. The narrative illustrates the real-world implications of the president's policy, with outbreaks of diseases like measles, whooping cough, and the flu causing hospitalizations and even deaths among vulnerable students and staff. The story highlights the challenges faced by the school nurse in trying to protect the health of all students, including her own daughter who has an autoimmune condition, without the backing of mandatory vaccination policies. Overall, the episode demonstrates how Donald Trump’s promise to defund schools with vaccine mandates could have devastating consequences for children's health and safety. We'd like to thank all the artists who volunteered their time to make this episode: Laurie Burke, Leigh McGowan who read the chapters & Audrey Hakes , Joe Walsh, & others who contributed character voices.   Sound design by Marilys Ernst and Jonathan Moser.  Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal written by Pepper and produced by Pepper, Melissa Jo Peltier and Jay Feldman and is a production of Ovington Avenue Productions and The Bill Press Pod.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (What happened to the American Dream? A conversation with Thom Hartmann): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

Our nation sits at crossroad. We either address our problems within our democracy and rule of law, or fail to address them by abandoning the very things that make us special in pursuit of something new. The 2024 presidential ticket offers us two very different versions of America - what it is and who it’s for - and on November 5th we choose one. Join me and the brilliant author Thom Hartman as we discuss his new book The Hidden History of the American Dream and break down where we are right now. The American Dream might be broken, but we can fix it, and we know it’s possible because we’ve done it before.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (Avoiding a Second Civil War: A Conversation with Vet Voice’s Janessa Goldbeck): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

Today we’re talking with the CEO of Vet VoiceJanessa Goldbeck about the film War Game a documentary based on a real life wargame set on January 6, 2025 that imagines a nationwide insurrection, in whichmembers of the US military choose to defect in order to support the losing presidential candidate and what the current president and his team, would do. I’m talking about this film because the scenario addressed has a real possibility of playing out after the 2024 election, and the people at the Vet Voice Foundation, including 3 former Generals, and former senior officials from the last five presidential administrations wanted to be sure we were as prepared as possible for what happens if the candidate who loses the election refuses to concede, and if part of our military joins them.   As always, IF YOU FIND WORTH IN WHAT WE DO, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Listening to Gaslit Nation (The Politics Girl Interview): sites.libsyn.com/124622/the-po

Leigh McGowan, aka Politics Girl, joins Gaslit Nation to discuss her heartfelt civics manifesto: A Return to Common Sense: How to Fix America Before We Really Blow It. With 41 days until Election Day, Leigh breaks down how we can seize this moment and make a real impact. The discussion includes “Kremlin cicada” Jill Stein, what to do if Trump tries another violent coup, how to hold a Harris/Walz administration accountable, and how to stop the MAGA machine from spreading chaos and disinformation in a white rage backlash that will make birtherism look like a warm-up act. While things might look like a political hellscape, Leigh’s book is a hand to hold as we fight back against Russian-backed Trump and his legion of wannabe stormtroopers. It's not just about surviving the next 41 days — it’s about gearing up for the long-haul battle for our democracy and the planet.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (Cheat to Win: A Conversation with Democracy Super Lawyer Marc Elias): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

According to the brilliant Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket and now senior member of the Harris/Walz legal team, what the Republicans are planning for the 2024 election is not just unprecedented, but outrageous. There is a reason they’re not campaigning or trying to get out the vote. There’s a reason Trump is telling people he “doesn’t need votes”. It’s because their plan isn’t to win the election, it’s to subvert, suppress and refuse to certify the election if they don’t win. According to Elias, Trump’s ultimate goal is to be sworn in, and there is no line he won’t cross to reach that goal. So, what are the Democrats doing to counter these efforts, and are they prepared for the down & dirty fight ahead?

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (Shameless: A Conversation with Brian Tyler Cohen): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

According to our guest, YouTube sensation and wildly successful political commentator, Brian Tyler Cohen, the modern Republican Party has laid out a long con. That, while the increasingly radical right gaslights the American public with its lies, artificial slogans and hollow catchphrases, there’s an ever widening gap between the essential Republican “brand” and their actual behavior. It’s such a marked phenomenon that Brian wrote a book, Shameless, to best explain where things went wrong and to highlight this all hands on deck moment where we, the public, choose to fight back.

As today’s guest, CEO of the States United Democracy Center and States United Action, Joanna Lydgate says, “The battle for democracy begins before a single ballot is cast and continues long after the polls close on election day.” We keep repeating it, but the truth is, the American election system itself is under attack. There are anti-democratic forces working hard across the country not to win elections, but to limit the vote. To interfere with election administration and officials, and to spread lies and chaos around voting. It’s a tactic, and it works.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (How to Make a Dictator: A Conversation with Strongman Expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

Authoritarian propaganda is full of empty promises of unity. Of uniting the nation under a leader who alone can fix it. Authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat and I had this conversation BEFORE the events at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania, but the facts remain the same if not more poignant now. The shock and awe we’re seeing is a tactic to distract us from what this party plans to do to our country, our democracy, and to anyone who doesn’t pledge absolute fealty or fit into their limited box of “acceptable” Americans. What happened at the Trump rally changes nothing about who Trump is or what he will do to this country if he and his party gain power. If anything, Ruth’s warnings of how a strongman comes to power, are more dire now. We are witnessing the playbook of authoritarianism unfold, we can not simply go along.   As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Today we’re joined by Mini Timmaraju, President of Reproductive Freedom for All, to discuss how reproductive freedom isn’t just about access to the health care of abortion, but about how we think society should function. Do we believe our most fundamental and personal decisions belong to the government, or do we believe they belong to us? At the end of the day, it all comes back to democracy, and if our voices are heard and respected, or we’re controlled and silenced. We, as a country, have to fight for our right to control our own lives while we still can, and we have to vote in numbers that leave no question as to what kind of country the majority of us want to live in. I truly believe this issue isn’t about being Republican or Democrat.

It’s hard not to be cynical about American politics and the American experiment with all that’s going on, but the truth of the matter is we have tremendous leadership right now. The country is doing extremely well. Legislation that became law over the past two years is set to become tangible reality in the next two. Yes, we are looking at an increasingly undemocratic Republican Party who can’t even compromise with itself long enough to get their speaker elected, but we’re also looking at competent, fresh new leadership to counter them, along with new factories, new jobs, new infrastructure. We’re looking at lower drug prices and major corporations paying taxes for the first time. We’re going to have universal broadband for all our citizens, gun legislation and climate protections. Yes, it’ll be an uphill battle to fight back these authoritarian extremists, especially since they now have power, but that’s just hard, not impossible, and with the right leadership and the right attitude, I think we got this.  Guest social: Website: whitehouse.gov/ Twitter: @PressSec Please RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!   All show links here!: linktr.ee/politicsgirl   Thank you to today’s sponsors! www.athleticgreens.com/PoliticsGirl www.thrivecausemetics.com/politicsgirl

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (Rigged: A Conversation with Robert Reich): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

As Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis said, “America has a choice. We can either have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have democracy, but we can’t have both.” There’s a shift happening in the American consciousness right now. Where the idea we all bought into, that idea that if we just work hard enough we’ll make it, is starting to feel like a bit of a scam. This concept of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is beginning to look like a cruel joke and the conceit that the struggles so many Americans face just to make ends meet is somehow a result of our own actions or shortcomings, rather than acknowledging we’re actually living in an oppressive system rigged against us is really starting to chafe. Join me and the illustrious Robert Reich as we discuss the economy, the American dream, and what we, the American public, can do to make it.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (America’s Disinformation War: A Conversation with Lee McIntyre): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

"Welcome to the world of reality denial, where truth is subordinate to ideology, feelings have more weight than evidence, and democracy hangs in the balance”. We are in a disinformation war in America where the goal of those creating the lies is not just to get us to question some particular fact - vaccines don’t work, covid isn’t real, the election was stolen - but to question your trust in people who might tell you the truth. As Lee says, “Don’t just lie - Polarize.” The right has done this incredibly well by exploiting preexisting grievances and resentments to form a community around the “us against them” narrative where the other side isn’t just biased, they’re evil. So what do we do when doubt can be overcome by evidence but trust can not. How do you get people to believe the truth then their very identity is wrapped up in NOT believing it?
