Join Michael in his conversation with Dana Bash about her important new book America’s Deadliest Election the Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History which tells the story of the 1872 Louisiana Governor’s race and the lessons it holds for the present.
From CNN’s Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash, the fast-paced story of the extraordinary election that led to hundreds of murders, warfare in the streets of New Orleans, two governors of Louisiana—and changed the course of politics in our country.
The Election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted. Rival newspapers engaged in a bitter war of words, politicians plotted to overthrow the government, and their supporters fought in the streets and attempted assassinations. The entire country watched in grim fascination as the wounds of the Civil War were ripped open and the promise of President Grant’s Reconstruction faltered in the face of violent resistance and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan.

Join Michael in his conversation with John Della Volpe the Director of Polling in the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School about his book Fight, How Gen Z is Channeling their Fear and Passion to Save America as well as the results of his September 2024 Harvard YouthPoll.
Fight, has been called “the definitive account of America’s next great generation,” and provides an in depth exploration of Gen Z the events that have shaped them, and what it means for America and our future.
September 11. The war on terror. Hurricane Katrina. The 2008 financial crisis. The housing crisis. The opioid epidemic. Mass school shootings. Climate change. Racial injustice. The whiplash between the election of the first Black president and Donald Trump. COVID-19.
Generation Z (also known as “Zoomers”) — those born from the late 1990s to early 2000s —has been faced with an onslaught of turmoil, destruction, and instability unprecedented in modern history. And it shows: They are more stressed, anxious, and depressed than previous generations, a phenomenon John Della Volpe has documented extensively through decades of interviews and meetings with young Americans across the country.
But Gen Z has not buckled under this tremendous weight. On the contrary, they have organized around the issues America has left unsolved, from gun control to racial and environmental justice to economic inequality, becoming more politically engaged than their elders were at their age and showing a unique willingness to disrupt the status quo.
In Fight, Della Volpe draws on his vast experience to show the largest forces shaping Zoomers’ lives, the issues they care most about, and how they are — despite older Americans’ efforts to label Gen Z as overly sensitive, lazy, and entitled — rising to the unique challenges of their time to take control of their country and our future.

Join Michael in his conversation with Ali Velshi about his new book Small Acts of Courage, A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy which tells the 125 years of his family’s history as advocates for social justice as a living, breathing experience—a way of life more than an ideology.
Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world.
Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom—for idealism itself—against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly.
More than a century ago, MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s great-grandfather sent his seven-year-old son to live at Tolstoy Farm, Gandhi’s ashram in South Africa. This difficult decision would change the trajectory of
his family history forever. From childhood, Velshi’s grandfather was imbued with an ethos of public service and social justice, and a belief in absolute equality among all people—ideals that his children
carried forward as they escaped apartheid, emigrating to Kenya and ultimately Canada and the United States.
Small Acts of Courage, is rich in detail and vivid prose, as Ali relates the stories of regular people who made a lasting commitment to fight for change, even when success seemed impossible. This heartfelt
exploration of how we can breathe new life into the principles of pluralistic democracy is an urgent call to action—for progress to be possible, we must all do whatever we can to make a difference

Join Michael in his conversation with Anne Applebaum about her new book Autocracy, Inc which tells an alarming account of how autocracies work together to undermine the democratic world, and how we should organize to defeat them.
We think we know what an autocratic state looks like: There is an all-powerful leader at the top. He controls the police. The police threaten the people with violence. There are evil collaborators, and maybe some brave dissidents.
But in the 21st century, that bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran. Corrupt companies in one country do business with corrupt companies in another. The police in one country can arm and train the police in another, and propagandists share resources and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America.
International condemnation and economic sanctions cannot move the autocrats. Even popular opposition movements, from Venezuela to Hong Kong to Moscow, don’t stand a chance. The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren’t linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity. In this urgent treatise, which evokes George Kennan’s essay calling for “containment” of the Soviet Union, Anne Applebaum calls for the democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat.
