On today's show: 

  • As Democrats search for the reasons Americans rejected the party in this past election, Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), talks about Harris's loss from her perspective as a scholar of women in politics while Nadira Goffe, associate culture writer at Slate, discusses the reason she sees as the elephant in the room -- Americans were not in favor of having a Black woman as president. 

  • Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and editor, and host of the “Ask Governor Murphy” monthly call-in show, recaps her conversation with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, which included how a second Trump administration might impact the state's climate change goals, why cannabis prices are going up and much more.

  • As our centennial series continues, Richard Haass, American diplomat, former president of the Council on Foreign Relations, senior counselor at the global investment firm Centerview Partners, and the author of The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens (Penguin Press, 2023), reviews the history of American's global influence, from World War I to today.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
