Hey there with pod listeners. Well, we just wrapped up our fall

2023 wisest happening national tour and I've got to say it's been amazing I got to

meet a whole bunch of you in different cities across country and I cannot think of a

Rachel and I got to talk at Town Hall New York City was a fascinating conversation

all about the sort of threats to American democracy, a period

of time in which those threats were very acute and they were successfully battled back, the rise

of authoritarianism, the historical events that have led to this moment and all of it sort of

intertwined with her incredible New York Times best-selling book prequel an American

fight against fascism. Now regular listeners of the podcast know that we release full episodes every Tuesday,

but we're going to do something a little different this week.

We're thrilled to share a preview of the conversation with Rachel today.

Then we're going to share the full thing with you in our feed this Friday and if you're eager to get your hands on the video version you can head over to Peacock because as a treat for subscribers the extended conversation is available now as a video special on Peacock.

forces including one of the most well-known industrialists of the 20th century.

Here's a portion of that part. Thanks for listening.

It's so funny because I know, again, the broad strokes of Henry Ford

brilliant industrialist Ford Motors basically created the modern factory

method of assembly line production brought cost down in doing so, paid his workers a higher wage than others,
