Living in America these past few years has been like living in a movie—a mashup of Blade Runner, A Clockwork Orange, and Idiocracy, that is. The never-ending pandemic, the routine mass shootings, the climate literally and figuratively on fire; the economy first battered by recession, then ravaged by inflation; an angry electorate, armed to the teeth and addled by conspiracy theories, as our democracy teeters on the brink, with Donald Trump still working overtime to push the whole thing off a cliff. On Hell and High Water, John Heilemann — host of Showtime's The Circus, co-author of Game Change, and national affairs analyst for MSNBC — explores this apocalyptic-seeming moment with seminal figures in politics, entertainment, business, tech, the media, and beyond. The conversations are deep, rich, and bracingly real, but also hopeful, as Heilemann and his guests grapple with the fact that, to quote Bob Dylan, “Everything is broken,” and try to figure out how to fix it … together.

Bravo! Really insightful, excellent discussion.
Dude shorten your questions so that your guests can actually put two sentences together before you interrupt them.
We have indeed met the enemy and it is us. Good conversation.
Ambition is good. TOXIC ambition, like Hawley's, is BAD!!
Love Chris Matthews and love this show. Great work! I miss Chris. I really do. I saw a coverage of a talk he did at Politics &Prose. The audience affection for Chris was really nice to witness.
Excellent in every way, this oral history should be a must assignment in every HS history class.
43 minutes in..... I'm out!!
Dude! 39 minutes into this, I find myself wondering, "Why the fuck am I listening to this guy? It's pretty obvious that his brain is FRIED!! AND I SMOKE MARIJUANA ON THE DAILY! FUCKIN METH HEADS!!

I'm sorry. I love you both. However. You CANNOT "pay for sex with a 17 year old." You are paying money to RAPE A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL!! CALL IT OUT!!

I'm a religious West Coast Morning Joe watcher and have been for at least 5 yrs and your discussion with Joe felt like the 1st time I actually heard his commentary. It was astonishing how much it further humanized him. Loved every minute of it. Someone should let him curse on TV haha.
was a really good interview. i find myself curious beginning of each week who john heileman will be interviewing
I'm a new subscriber. Deadline Whitehouse is my favorite and that's how I know John Heilman. A great episode with to of my favorite people. Prescient.
i have often enjoyed hearing John Heileman on various tv media especially over these past 4 years. after hearing several of his podcasts im a fan. "so far" great guests and the freedom of the podcast format allow his knowledgable colorful no bs approach to excel. of course i say this because i find myself consistently agreeing with his point of view
