    How America could descend into civil war

    How America could descend into civil war

    The prospect of internal conflict, as depicted in Alex Garland’s new film ‘Civil War’, is no longer regarded as an impossibility in America. With millions of guns in circulation, militia membership on the rise, and citizens relocating along ideological lines, could the US descend into a new civil war?

    Guests:

    • Sarah Baxter, Director of the Marie Colvin Center for International Reporting.
    • Barbara F Walter, Rohr Professor of International Affairs at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California in San Diego.

    Host: Manveen Rana.

    Mike Johnson's "Courage" On Ukraine Aid Bill | Rep. Andy Kim

    Ronny Chieng and Jordan Klepper question just how "courageous" Speaker Mike Johnson is for finally allowing a Ukraine aid bill through the House, Pete Buttigieg forces airlines to pay back disappointed passengers, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt weighs in on teachers being allowed to carry guns in Tennessee. The great turf wars between tennis and pickleball players comes to a head as Michael Kosta recruits former pro and sports commentator Patrick McEnroe to narrate an epic pickleball showdown. Plus, Rep. Andy Kim, of New Jersey’s 3rd District, chats with Ronny and Jordan about his Senate run and Asian-American representation in politics and how America can solidify its role in the 21st century amidst growing neo-isolationism.

    Is this fictitious civil war closer to reality than we think?

    Is this fictitious civil war closer to reality than we think?
    Civil War, the new A24 film from British director Alex Garland, imagines a scenario that might not seem so far-fetched to some; a contemporary civil war breaking out in the United States.

    And while the film has taken heat for little mention of politics, the question of an actual civil war has everything to do with it.

    Amy Cooter is a director of research at the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Her work has led her to the question that Garland's movie has put in the minds of both moviegoers and political pundits: Could a second civil war really happen here?

    Cooter joins host Andrew Limbong to discuss the actual threat of current political movements in the U.S., outside of the movie theaters.

    They're mad as hell and we don't want to take it anymore

    They're mad as hell and we don't want to take it anymore
    What on earth were they thinking? The Conservative Party’s weird, dystopian, GOP-style attack ad on Sadiq Khan shows just how much the party has lost its mind. The panel unpack what was wrong with it and why the Tories might have thought this was a good idea at all. And Jeremy Hunt says £100k a year “doesn’t go far” – is he right? Or is he just massively out of touch? Plus, in the extra bit for subscribers what could replace the Labour Party’s ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ ring-walk tune for the 2024 election? • “They do a really bad video, they get roundly mocked… and the next day they do something worse?” – Ros Taylor • “The Conservatives are going to have to improve 12 points just to do as ‘well’ as 1997… They are looking at a generational defeat.”– Jonn Elledge • “People are now locked into jobs and house shares they don’t like because they feel too financially insecure to start again.” – Zoë Grünewald We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow  www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Jacob Jarvis with Zoë Grünewald, Ros Taylor and Jonn Elledge.

    Trump Brings Back Birtherism Taunts

    Trump Brings Back Birtherism Taunts
    In a republican primary field that at one time boasted more than a dozen candidates, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and former President Donald Trump are the last ones standing.

    That means Trump's fire is concentrated on Haley — a daughter of Indian immigrants. And he's using that heritage to try to undermine Haley's candidacy, and stoke concern about her legitimacy for the presidency.

    For the record, that concern is unfounded – Haley, as the Constitution dictates, is a natural-born US citizen.

    NPR's Mary Louise Kelly and Senior Editor and Correspondent Domenico Montanaro dissect the reasons WHY Trump keeps returning to this particular political playbook.

    Israel Is Giving Hamas What It Wants

    Israel Is Giving Hamas What It Wants

    Oct. 7 was Israel’s Sept. 11. That’s been the refrain. I fear that analogy carries so much more truth than the people making it intend.
