Ep. 1 Our Present Political Crisis, with Sam Tanenhaus

A journalist for The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Esquire, historian, and award-winning author Sam Tanenhaus joins Today Plus Everything host and writer/director Ian Ebright (From the Sky, The Devil Needs a Fix) to talk about the present political crisis in the United States through a historical lens.

The two discuss the famous televised debates between William F. Buckley Jr. and Gore Vidal as a precursor to our deeply divided political discourse—as well as the rise and fall of the conservative movement, the Obama legacy, Trump's response to COVID-19, Attorney General Barr as enabler, the unidentified federal agents policing the streets of Portland, Biden's opportunity, and more.
