Brian Tyler Cohen
Acerca de esta escucha
From the first content creator to interview President Biden, leading progressive voice Brian Tyler Cohen takes a step back from the day-to-day news cycle to explain how American politics has turned into such a dumpster fire—and what Democrats need to do to get us out of it.
In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen’s unflinching narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior.
With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin, drawing on interviews and insights from Pete Buttigieg, Mehdi Hasan, Jen Psaki, and other luminaries of the Left, Cohen reveals:
- How Republicans have leaned on their historical branding to give themselves a permission structure to behave antithetically to everything they say;
- Why the mainstream media has proved itself a willing participant in this ongoing farce—particularly since the rise of toxic, sensationalist MAGA mania; and
- What lessons Democrats can glean from a clear-eyed view of the landscape we’re operating in—and the steps we must take to rebalance our political landscape.
During this all-hands-on-deck moment in our history, Shameless is essential listening for those seeking to understand our dire situation, and a rallying cry for those fighting to preserve democracy.

Historia
Known for providing incisive progressive political analysis without being dogmatic, popular radio and podcast host David Pakman delves into the vicious cycle of reactionary political ideology. It's no secret how the right-wing has benefited and capitalized off disinformation and polarization of US politics. Critical thinking and media literacy are on a rapid decline, and our republic is unable to agree upon a shared set of facts. Pakman challenges the right-wing head-on and encourages listeners to understand how the status quo became the status quo.

Interference is the true history of the most important and consequential decisions, obstacles, and quandaries Mueller and his team faced when investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. For the first time, Mueller’s only deputy, his most senior counselor who served on the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, and the lead prosecutor looking into obstruction of justice and Russian interference, have come together to tell a highly relevant and compelling account of what it was like to carry out their investigation of election interference.

Historia
For as long as historical records have existed, authoritarian regimes have tried to rewrite history to suit their purposes, using their dictatorial powers to create myths, spread propaganda, justify decisions, erase opponents, and even dispose of crimes. Today, as America’s Republican Party becomes increasingly radicalized, it’s not surprising to see the GOP read from a similarly despotic script. Indeed, the party is taking dangerous, aggressive steps to rewrite history—and not just from generations past.

Since 2008, the site he founded, PolitiFact, has been the go-to spot for media members and political observers alike to seek the truth in an increasingly deceitful world. Since the site’s launching, politics’ tenuous relationship with the truth has only gotten weaker—and weirder. In this groundbreaking book, Adair reveals how politicians lie and why.

In the greatest intelligence operation in the history of the world, Donald Trump was made president of the United States with the assistance of a foreign power. For the first time, The Plot to Destroy Democracy reveals the dramatic story of how blackmail, espionage, assassination, and psychological warfare were used by Vladimir Putin and his spy agencies to steal the 2016 US election. It will show how Russia and its fifth column allies tried to flip the cornerstones of democracy in order to reengineer the world political order that kept most of the world free since since 1945.

Today’s Republican party is not a “normal” political party in the American tradition. It has become an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As Stuart Stevens argues in The Conspiracy to End America, if we look away from that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return.

Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding. A good argument, made in good faith, has intrinsic value—and can also simply be fun.

White rural voters hold the greatest electoral sway of any demographic group in the United States, yet rural communities suffer from poor healthcare access, failing infrastructure, and severe manufacturing and farming job losses. Rural voters believe our nation has betrayed them, and to some degree, they’re right. In White Rural Rage, Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman explore why rural Whites have failed to reap the benefits from their outsize political power and why, as a result, they are the most likely group to abandon democratic norms and traditions.

Historia
In this searing memoir, Congressman Jamie Raskin tells the story of the forty-five days at the start of 2021 that permanently changed his life—and his family’s—as he confronted the painful loss of his son to suicide, lived through the violent insurrection in our nation’s Capitol, and led the impeachment effort to hold President Trump accountable for inciting the political violence.

The Longest Con tells the fascinating story of the partisan con artists who have corrupted conservative politics in our time, creating a toxic phenomenon that culminated in the election of Donald Trump, a bumptious fraud whose checkered career and tawdry retinue, including his presidential cabinet, have featured almost every variety of scam. But long before he appeared, Trump's path to power was blazed by the motley horde of swindlers and quacks who preceded him.

In Where Tyranny Begins, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Rohde investigates the strategies Trump systematically used to turn the country's two most powerful law-enforcement agencies into his personal political weapons. Rohde also reveals how, during the Biden years, Justice Department non-partisan 1970s norms that Attorney General Merrick Garland reinforced inadvertently helped Trump, and could fail to deliver a trial and legal accountability by Election Day 2024.

Disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others. The false claims that led to the breathtaking attack on our Capitol in 2020 may have been only a dress rehearsal. Attack from Within shows us how to prevent it from happening again, thus preserving our country's hard-won democracy.

Historia
Inspired by her research for the hit podcast Ultra, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the far-right edge of our politics for the better part of a century. Before and even after our troops had begun fighting abroad in World War II, a clandestine network flooded the country with disinformation aimed at sapping the strength of the U.S. war effort and persuading Americans that our natural alliance was with the Axis, not against it.

In 2010, the words “earthquake swarm” entered the lexicon in Oklahoma. That same year, a trove of Michael Jackson memorabilia—including his iconic crystal-encrusted white glove—was sold at auction for over $1 million to a guy who was, officially, just the lowly forestry minister of the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea. And in 2014, Ukrainian revolutionaries raided the palace of their ousted president and found a zoo of peacocks, gilded toilets, and a floating restaurant modeled after a Spanish galleon.

Stuart Stevens spent decades electing Republicans at every level, from presidents to senators to local officials. He knows the GOP as intimately as anyone in America, and in this new book he offers a devastating portrait of a party that has lost its moral and political compass. This is not a book about how Donald J. Trump hijacked the Republican Party and changed it into something else.

The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority. Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and political shift.

Outstanding Perspective on the Evolution of the Conservative Movement, and the Devolution of GOP to become MAGA
BTC provides an outstanding perspective on how the GOP party has devolved to become a party without a cause other than to destroy any form of government in the United States. From congress members like Matt Gatz and MTG, to Trump, the GOP/MAGA movement is not focused on improving this country, but focused on turning back to clock at any cost. From embracing white nationalist, to defunding programs and then declaring them somehow, ironically, unable to function. Well worth the read. I only wish there was a way to get more voters to read this big picture perspective.

The comparisons
After 71 years on this planet. After working fifty years as an RN looking so forward to retirement with my husband of thirty-nine years and raising two amazing young men did I ever believe my hardest challenge would being a part of working to protect our democracy…my rights as a woman and to protect those rights for all girls that will be here when I am gone. But…I sleep well knowing WE WILL NOT GO BACK! Every citizen should LISTEN to this young author tell you in his words what a scary world the far right has made this country for our kids all in the name of power, greed and money!! It’s time to stand up and say “HELL NO!!”

Condensed accurate view of the changes in the GOP and their intentions.
I watch Brian's YouTube daily, so I'm obviously biased towards his commitment to Accurate information.

Shameless
Brian did a wonderful job with this book. I am a big fan of his and follow his YouTube and Instagram presentations. I also never miss his podcasts. I’m 81 and have lost sleep over what Trump and the Republicans are doing to my country. Brian has kept me off the ledge and gives me hope for the future of my country, and for my grandchildren’s future as Americans.

The way he tells a grand narrative with many personal and relevant examples
I wish it was longer. I would read his second book right now. It's all great to have a political author who I don't have to guess what he's saying.

Brian can write but more so his voice is something I can listen to over and over. Amazing writing and this is why I watch his YouTube videos every day. Thank you so much for all you do for this democracy.

Riveting, encapsulating, and eye opening
I’m a long time follower of BTC, mostly because of his unapologetic delivery of clap-back facts on the right-wing media machine. He’s a breath of fresh air, who has given me hope to keep going forward when it seemed against the odds, politically speaking. His book is more of that fast-paced, unapologetic, thoughtful, articulate, stripped down information. It primes the pump of democracy and injects a much needed, realistic infusion of plain-talk politics, particularly for Democrats, liberals and progressives. Example: Here’s how/where it started, here’s what the results were, here’s what we should do going forward. Practical, logical, intelligent. I loved that Brian isn’t a political animal. I love that I can relate to him as an everyday person who mirrors my own political values. I wish this was required reading for all Americans.
