Six Questions with Steven Beschloss

This Tuesday saw Democrats deliver big wins up and down the ballot across America. Mary Trump, founder of Mary Trump Media and niece of Donald himself, joins Steven Beschloss to answer Six Questions about where the United States goes from here. Among the topics discussed: what accountability looks like and who needs to lead Democrats into this new era (spoilers: Mary does NOT think it should be Jeffries or Schumer), and next steps in the allegations against Donald Trump and the continued investigation into the Epstein files.

There is only one member of Congress under the age of 30. David Hogg founded Leaders We Deserve to invest in young politicians, and he joins Steven Beschloss to make the case for why a younger government is a more effective government. Put simply: if we want young people to vote with enthusiasm, they need to see the issues that matter to them represented in government. On the issues, David argues the importance of showing voters that affordability and corruption are a single issue when it comes to Republicans running the government. By fighting government corruption and creating more accountability, politicians will be less emboldened to line the pockets of themselves and their wealthy donors.

The election ends in less than two weeks, but its impacts will ripple outward for a long time, whether it goes as we think it will or not. Steven welcomes Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI Assistant Director and host of Lincoln Square's The Frank Figliuzzi Show, to talk about the threats we face and what comes next.

We're in the home stretch of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes, and everything depends on our ability to show up en masse. Nobody knows about showing up better than Ezra Levin, the founder of Indivisible and one of the organizers of the No Kings events that have energized the American opposition to Trump (that's us, btw). He joins Steven Beschloss to discuss the importance of showing up, what he fears about the election, and what we need to do after.

Steven welcomes author Anand Giridharadas, whose new book 'MAN IN THE MIRROR' is an intimate and deeply reported story of what happened when two Americans from dramatically different walks of life met on a subway in New York. The complicated story ends in tragedy, but it is quintessentially American, and reflective of our current moment.
