Brian Tyler Cohen, progressive YouTuber, podcaster, and MSNBC contributor, joins former US Senator Al Franken for a deep dive into the heart of America’s political dysfunction as posited in Cohen’s upcoming book Shameless: Republicans’ Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy.
Has the GOP descended into hypocrisy and chaos? Can its claims to family values and fiscal responsibility be substantiated? Arguing that Republicans have manipulated their historical branding to give themselves a permission structure to behave antithetically to everything they say … and that mainstream media has proved itself a willing participant to this ongoing story, they ask how we arrived at this pivotal moment — and most importantly, what steps Democrats must take to rebalance the political landscape. Featuring insights from political luminaries like Jamie Raskin and Pete Buttigieg, this event promises a dynamic exploration of the future of democracy in America. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this urgent conversation.
The talk will be followed by a book signing with Brian Tyler Cohen.
