The Good Fight Club: Hounding Political Opponents, Misinformation, and Autism

And now the Good Fight with Yasha Monk. Welcome to the sixth installment of the Good Fight. club for the week of September 22nd, recorded on Tuesday the 23rd. I am joined today by two repeat offenders. One is a repeat repeat offender, Frank Fukuyama, one of the regular co-hosts of this panel.

Frank of course needs little introduction, but among other things he is the editor of American purpose, which is part of the persuasion community. We have Sabina Trudic, a second-time offender, who is a MP in the national parliament of Bosnia. And we have Dan Williams, a former podcast guest, but the first-time member of A Good Fight Club, who is a philosopher at the University of Sussex. Welcome to all of you.

Frank, uh there are many remarkable things going on in the United States at the moment, but perhaps the most remarkable is the extent to which the administration is uh seemingly trying to take over the most important and neutral institutions in the country, firing prosecutors that have displeased the administration either by who they did or did not. prosecute, um, apparently stopping an investigation into the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who stands accused of having taken significant bribes. And when sending a remarkable message to Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, it's unclear whether that message was meant to be public or was meant to be a private message, basically instructing her to go after political opponents. Um how do we think about that in the context of of for a time attacks on democracy elsewhere and how worried should we be about the possibility of the administration actually managing to undermine uh uh the course of justice in the United States?
