How Populist Rebels Changed Politics: With Joshua Green

Michael Steele speaks with best-selling author Joshua Green about his new book, "The Rebels: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Struggle for a New American Politics." The pair discuss how the populist movement emerged from the 2008 financial crisis and led to the rise of Warren, Bernie and AOC. They also discuss how the populist movement helped get Trump elected in 2020 and what it might mean for 2024.

Digging up bones. 😂😂😂 Great show.Thank you.

[@cathymoloney8668]

Great interview. Thanks for sharing this story.

My hero of the Right focuses on my heroes of the Left. Truth Tellers all.

[@Ggaia-d9z]

By definition the right wing can never be populist bcos it literally represents the aristocrats.

[@judykinsman3258]

But they con the public with better propaganda skills.

[@Ggaia-d9z]

@@judykinsman3258They even call it noble lying.

Actually I think Joe has always had strong working class sympathies and has come back to his roots. Joe's story is a great American story

[@iart2838]

Low wages working class experience is key issue often omitted. Along with insane, for profit health-care that destroys lower classes

[@ibobbywhite]

When $11million became the inheritance tax cut off.

[@sandravermes4219]

True Bernie supporters would and did not switch to Trump as Trump was the exact opposite of Bernie.

[@sandravermes4219]

Because Obama asked Bernie not to continue his campaign, Biden won. Bernie indeed would have been our president. We lost out big time for the change that we deserved.

[@sandravermes4219]

Bernie pushed young people to run and thus the "squad" was the result.

[@sandravermes4219]

Biden realized that the people wanted the changes that Bernie spoke of and so he changed his conservative views to honor the peoples wishes.

[@sandravermes4219]

stop crediting Warren for Bernie Sanders platform!!!!

[@sandravermes4219]

FDR did not care what wall street thought!!!!!!!!!!

[@beckyweisfeld6977]

So much of the what and why of Trump goes back to the financial crisis of 2008-09 but so many people seemed to have forgotten it (or perhaps were too young to have any direct experience with it) so thank you for talking about this.

Hi Micheal thank you for this Pod cast. I have learned so much from your guests and from you

[@michaelgarrity6090]

Michael Steele, I wish that I had found your podcast/KZbin feed long before doing so in the last week or so. I love you on MSNBC and I love what you do here. You have some of the best conversations. This was another excellent program. I'm gonna have to get Josh's new book.

[@suzimpeters]

Thank you Michael and Joshua.

[@stevek2346]

Another great show. Always gopod to take a look from the other guy's side.

[@onomatopoeia162003]

The first question: Read Listen Liberal. From Thomas Frank. He went back to the 1970's to about ~2016.

[@judykinsman3258]

Michael laughs about that 3 martini lunch but he & the Republican Party never stopped pushing Wall Street & destroying labor rights after that.

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

He's trying to make up for it...that's good, isn't it?

[@debraallender7444]

Amazing discussion! Loved the topic. Very interested in the book!

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Well, in the vernacular of the Evangelicals, " God never meant for Democrats to be poor." If citizens must battle Citizens United corporate money, hey, we citizens certainly are smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall. The problem is still lack of financial education and investing opportunities for lower income earners.

[@nicoleperko2479]

I haven't watched the whole show yet about halfway through but I have yet to hear you talk about the folks that lost their homes. They never got their homes back. They got about a thousand bucks from the government. What are you supposed to do with that?

[@estherlee5263]

So so so interesting. Gotta get the book!

[@DeeDee-tq4cg]

Thanks to you both!!!

[@robert-2819]

Another good hour. Thanks very much and long success. Personally I am glad ther are not a lot more GOP like you.

[@DSmith-nk9xf]

Another great pod Michael!

[@georgelasrado1107]

Put trump in the jail

[@sandravermes4219]

Actually, thirty years ago Bernie Sanders started this movement.
