How did America's housing crisis get so bad, and what can be done about it? Housing policy expert Jenny Schuetz of the Brookings Institute joins the show to discuss. We chat about how exclusionary zoning makes housing shortages worse, why overly-long approval processes might be an even bigger factor than zoning, and how the political dynamics within different neighborhoods of big cities make it difficult to change policy.

On today's episode, Colin Mortimer, the Director of the Center for New Liberalism, is joined by two special guests. First is Adam Hartke, the co-owner of a music venue in Wichita, Kansas, and the co-chair of the advocacy committee at the National Independent Venues Association. We talk about what it has been like to be a music venue owner during this pandemic, suffering the brunt of the economic fallout. Second, PPI's Chief Economic Strategist Michael Mandel comes on to talk about how an obscure tax cut that expires in December might make the recovery for music venues, bars, restaurants, brewers, and others even more difficult than it was already expected to be.

Jeremiah is joined by the co-hosts of The Grifter Report, Connor Fletcher and Dylan Meisner, to answer key questions in the wake of Donald Trump's loss. Who's out there taking advantage of the 'stolen election' narrative? Which Trump-world stooge is making the most outlandish, insane claims?

Everyone seems to agree liberalism is under threat these days, but what exactly is liberalism? Is it a set of policy beliefs, a form of centrism, a belief in markets? Adam Gopnik, author of the new book A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism, argues that liberalism is best understood as a practice, not an ideology. We discuss the various ways to frame liberalism as a concept - as a social technology for tolerance, a tendency towards democratic pluralism, belief in reform over revolution, and more. We also discuss how liberalism is dealing with threats today from social media bubbles and right-wing extremism, and how liberal values can still come out ahead.
