Summary

Marianne Williamson is an author, activist, spiritual leader, and 2024 presidential candidate. In this episode, we talk about President Biden's unfortunate representation of the corporatist Democratic elite, contrasting it with the economic stress faced by millions of Americans. We analyze Biden's approach to climate change, scrutinizing decisions like the Willow Project approval, and we explore the Democrats' loss of the populist message. Discover why Marianne believes we need a new generation of leadership to address pressing issues honestly and directly, including healthcare inadequacy, societal challenges, and the complexities of gun violence. With a special guest – Phoebe Krasno – Jeff’s eldest daughter!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today on the show, I welcome back,
0:14.0	Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson. In our conversation, Marianne addresses
0:20.3	exactly why she is running as a Democrat
0:23.4	against a Democratic incumbent. We talk about rapid sweeping change versus incrementalism. We discuss
0:32.2	populism and how Republicans have managed to become the preferred party of the working class. We probe many
0:39.7	of our most salient social issues, including abortion, climate, and gun rights. And Marianne outlines
0:47.7	her vision for a healthier society and an appropriate defense budget. In recent months, Marianne has really captured a lot of attention among Gen Z who are looking
1:02.0	for political alternatives to male octogenarians.
1:07.0	My daughter Phoebe is squarely among that group. She's 18 and is acutely aware of the anxiety,
1:15.8	nihilism, and disillusionment that plagues her generation. As she and many of her friends look
1:22.2	around at the various global crises from climate to mental health, and see very little political leadership and a whole lot of bickering and pandering and misaligned
1:35.1	incentives.
1:36.4	Marianne is speaking directly and powerfully to this generation.
1:40.1	So in that light, for the last section of the conversation today, I passed the mic to Phoebe.
1:47.3	She and Marianne specifically discuss policies like the Biden approval of the Willow Project, student debt, and the impending takeover of AI.
1:58.5	But before we dive in, I want to let you know about Marianne's new commune meditation course
2:04.2	titled Speaking with the Divine. And you can sign up for a free five-day pass for that program
2:11.1	at onecom slash divine. Additionally, if you're interested in courses on civic engagement and how to run for office,
2:19.5	we actually made a course under that title, as well as programs on functional medicine, nutrition,
2:25.5	gut health, and meditation. Well, you can sign up for 14 days of free all access to commune's
2:31.1	entire treasure trove of courses, including more than 130 courses on spiritual
2:37.5	and physical health. Just go to Onecommon.com slash trial. And please support this podcast by
