The conversation kicks off with the rise of a socialist-leaning mayor in New York City, before widening into a no-holds-barred debate on the health of the U.S. economy, wealth inequality, deficit spending, and the political polarization gripping the nation. Stephen brings his signature sharpness and skepticism as he challenges narratives about the direction of the Democratic Party, the nature of economic growth, and the practical realities of policy-making in an era of gridlock. Tom and Stephen clash on the dangers of populism, the reality behind deficit spending, and the very definition of what’s driving the policies of both the left and the right. From housing crises and immigration to the looming threat of authoritarianism and the legacy of globalism, nothing is off the table in this wide-ranging episode. Whether you’re worried about runaway spending, civil stability, or just want to understand how smart people can see the same world so differently, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Tune in as Tom and Stephen try to map out—and argue about—the best path forward for America.
