Host Reed Galen is joined by Ron Insana, longtime financial journalist and senior analyst at CNBC, for a wide-ranging conversation about how America’s selective memory is putting its future at risk….leaving it vulnerable to instability, misinformation, and growing authoritarian threats. Plus, why today’s political and financial landscape feels more fragile than many realize, how right-wing media has reshaped public memory, what lessons from the 1970s we’re ignoring, and why expertise is under attack when it’s needed most.
