  • Avoiding a Second Civil War: A Conversation with Vet Voice’s Janessa Goldbeck

    Avoiding a Second Civil War: A Conversation with Vet Voice’s Janessa Goldbeck
    Oct 1 2024
    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.

  • Cheat to Win: A Conversation with Democracy Super Lawyer Marc Elias

    Cheat to Win: A Conversation with Democracy Super Lawyer Marc Elias
    Sep 24 2024
    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?

  • Fed Up & Fired Up: A Conversation with Chamber of Mother’s Erin Erenberg

    Fed Up & Fired Up: A Conversation with Chamber of Mother’s Erin Erenberg
    Sep 10 2024
    The women of this nation hold the spending AND voting power so why are we so constantly marginalized? Tired of being overlooked, used as pawns, and ready to be taken seriously, we talk to Erin Erenberg, co-founder and CEO of the Chamber of Mothers, about the growing collective movement to advance maternal rights in America. The truth of the matter is: we’re hardly a country that should be forcing women to have babies, since the US is currently experiencing a maternal health crisis and we barely respect the role or what goes into it. It’s well past time our needs are better reflected and responded to by our government. It’s not just what’s best for mothers and their children, but what’s best for society as a whole.

  • America: Built on Work - A Conversation Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su

    America: Built on Work - A Conversation Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su
    Sep 3 2024
    Happy Labor Day!!! Department of Labor’s Acting Secretary Julie Su reminds us that the Biden Administration has been focused on building what they call the “high road to the American dream”. That looking out for the American worker is not just about having enough work, it’s about those workers being paid properly, treated with respect, and at the end of the day, giving our citizens what President Biden calls “a little breathing room” to live our lives. How do we “pursue happiness” without that? On this Labor Day we dig into the Department of Labor and all the programs and agencies ready and willing to help the American people that most of us don’t even know about, and the importance of having a government that not only respects our workers but will fight for them.

    Coming right off the Democratic Convention, brilliant historian and writer Heather Cox Richardson gives her insights on where we are with the two parties and the upcoming election. She reminds us that democracy is not a given, and though we have to fight for it, we should find joy in that fight. That the Republicans are used to controlling the narrative, and holding the mantle of patriotic American, but the convention showed the world they aren’t the only ones who have the right to that title.

  • Get Married and Stay There! A Conversation with Julie Kohler

    Get Married and Stay There! A Conversation with Julie Kohler
    Aug 20 2024
    I’m in Chicago this week for the Democratic convention, and I hope you’ll follow along to get the information, but as we watch, what we hope will be the first female president take the convention stage, I thought we should discuss what the other side is offering when it comes to women, women’s rights, and womanhood. With that in mind, our guest today is acclaimed writer Julie Kohler, host of award winning White Picket Fence podcast to talk to us about the rising extremist movement gaining steam to squash women back into “traditional” roles, roll back no fault divorce, as well as efforts, described in project 2025, to restore the “American family” as they define through a very specific lens. This isn’t just a conservative fever dream, it’s going to be Republican policy. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

  • Shameless: A Conversation with Brian Tyler Cohen

    Shameless: A Conversation with Brian Tyler Cohen
    Aug 13 2024
    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. Spoiler: the media is part of the problem. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
