Best Of: Anne Applebaum On Her Book Autocracy Inc.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ธ.ค. 2024
- In this Thanksgiving Best Of, we revisit our conversation with our friend Anne Applebaum! We aired this a few months ago when Anne's newest book, Autocracy Inc., had been released. She chronicles the rise of authoritarianism around the world and how those autocracies work together to keep themselves in power. With Donald Trump elected President once again, could we be heading for a similar fate? Other countries thwarted authoritarian candidates over the last year, but America decided that another round of Trumpism was the way to go. We can only hope that the country can survive it.

Thank you, Mr. Franken for the interview with Ms. Applebaum.
Excellent thank you al . I'm 72 years old retired disabled UAW member and a veteran. America's 50 years of a race to the bottom continues sadly
You are still MY SENATOR. I will never forgive the Corp Dems for what they did to you. PLEASE run again. We need you now more than ever!
Same here
Same!
Hear, hear!
Happy Thanksgiving, Al & Frankenites! Thanks to Anne Applebaun. I'm really dreading the next 4 years.
They can try to silence criticism but people will find new & exciting ways to get the message across. Anne gave interviews at the beginning of the russian invasion which is where I 1st heard anyone (her's being the sole voice) speak rationally, empathically & genuinely informed on the subject, been a fan ever since.
war hawk, its another pointless US proxy war.
I read this excellent book. Thank you both.
I did too. Like Al, it took me more than a few hours. For me it was because I kept going back through the text.
The bad news is so overwhelming.
Thanks Al, and Anne for this conversation. Have a good week off.
PLEASE RUN FOR SOMETHING AGAIN AL!!! WE NEED YOU SO MUCH!!
You have thoughtful guests & subjects. Enjoy your shows.
Foreign money laundering investments are not rare in real estate in New York and Panama (T Ocean), and have been known to get Atlantic City casinos in trouble.
It's going to be a new golden age for dark humor.
Well, that one was good (for a change). 😎
Thanks, great interview. Scary.
Thank you
🦅back in the day, Cassandra wasn’t listened to either 🦅 Thank You 🦅
"When you think it can't get any worse, it can always get worse." Mark Twain.. Really. Yes, really. Well, maybe not. But probably.
That’s an interesting photo of Anne. It has an old-fashioned look to it. It’s a very crisp and clear photo. A stocking over the lens and you’re right back in the 40s or 50s.
Mr. F. you are very very slow. And you are one of the smartest in American politics. The country is doomed because of that
A Handmaids Tale
The suggestions for countering authoritarianism aret't bad. But they don't get @ the fact that humans are drawn to disruptive figures when their society is ailing, is defective. Demagogues stoke grievance to gain traction. That grievance comes from somewhere. We have a dishonest market system (we don't account for externalities), so harmful practices bring profit. Harmful practices will multiply. Getting onto a sustainable path remains an elusive goal. A society that offers no future for youth affects people's psyche, even if they don't consciously identify with the faction that explicitly aims to address environmental problems. And the faction that supposedly does that omits any mention of the most efficient & fair remedy: Fee-&-Dividend ~ envt'l impact
Don't EVER expect basic moral decency to resolve America's current situation. Given the situation in which Trump finds himself, he simply has no choice. Has it never occurred to anyone that giving total autonomy over the legal system of the entire country to a convicted scam artist and felon will only result in that convicted scam artist and felon relentlessly corrupting the system for his own personal benefit.

franken has a frequent habit of stating the obvious in some attempt to sound profound and 'knowledgeable' .. it doesn't work ...
Stop trying to sound profound and knowledgable. It's not working.
Put your tinfoil hat back on and take your meds things will be fine
He's paraphrasing for the listener.. It's just good interview technique.
@@ConkerKing so why don't more interviewers use it ?
I disagree with your statement, Dire. A good interview or at certain points will resate and reiterate what the guest has just sad. This is an art form done solely for the benefit of a listening or watching audience.
Sit down🪑. Thinking 😂
