What did Francis Fukuyama mean when he declared that the world had reached "the end of history" — and does he still believe it? One of the most consequential conservative political thinkers of our time, best known for his international bestseller The End of History and the Last Man and for his work advising the presidential administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, Francis Fukuyama has spent decades shaping the way policymakers, scholars, and everyday citizens think about power and the fate of liberal democracy. Now, with In the Realm of the Last Man, he offers a strikingly personal new intellectual memoir and a reflection on the ideas and policies he's reconsidered — a life story that doubles as a history of liberalism and political disillusionment over the last 50 years. In his new memoir, Fukuyama's lens turns inward for the first time, tracing his evolution from a young student in the orbit of conservative intellectual legend Allan Bloom to his years in the halls of power in Washington, DC. Opening up about his Japanese American family history, including his relatives' internment during World War II, he reflects with unusual candor on the experiences that changed his thinking — including his public break with neoconservatism over the Iraq War. In a wide-ranging and reflective conversation with author and political scientist Shadi Hamid, hear Fukuyama discuss how his ideas were transformed by his lived experience and how the crises of the 21st century have altered his understanding of democracy's future. Expect a return to the concepts central to Fukuyama's work — the qualities that define human nature, the value of democratic institutions, and his controversial theory of the "Last Man" at the end of history — a rare encounter with a major thinker measuring his own life against the convulsions of history.
American politics has never been louder, more polarized, or more exhausting. Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov are fed up with it. For a live recording of their hit podcast Raging Moderates, Galloway and Tarlov bring their signature mix of sharp analysis, candid debate, and unapologetic frustration with the political extremes that dominate today's discourse. Being a moderate doesn't mean sitting on the sidelines — it means pushing back against bad ideas, wherever they come from. A professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and founder of nine companies, Scott Galloway has become one of the most influential voices in media, technology, business, and politics. Jessica Tarlov, co-host of Fox News' The Five, has built a national following as a thoughtful and fearless advocate for her views in some of the country's most contentious political conversations. The evening begins with a conversation about Tarlov's new book, I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends, an accessible guide to navigating political disagreement with honesty, conviction, and respect. Then, Galloway and Tarlov will do a live taping of Raging Moderates, diving behind the headlines to tackle the biggest stories shaping the upcoming midterms. Expect strong opinions and a conversation that challenges the notion that every issue must be viewed through a partisan lens.
Fauda, the acclaimed Israeli action-drama, returns for a fifth season with a conversation with co-creators Lior Raz, who also stars in the series, and Avi Issacharoff. CNN's Bianna Golodryga moderates. Two years after the October 7 massacre, the members of the Fauda unit are still grappling with a tragedy that struck Israel and transformed their lives at the most personal and painful level. What begins as an unrestrained quest for vengeance soon becomes a perilous mission to prevent a major terrorist attack emerging from an unexpected direction, one that threatens Israel at its most vulnerable point. Raz and Issacharoff discuss the making of the new season, the events and experiences that shaped its story, and the challenge of creating an action thriller as the realities behind the fiction continue to evolve.
Award-winning New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan join us for an inside look at the forces driving President Trump in his second term — and their new book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. No reporters have tracked Donald Trump more closely than Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. Now, with Regime Change, they deliver their most riveting, intimate, and revelatory account of the most radical and consequential presidency of our time. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and unparalleled access, their reporting shows that the indictments, the convictions, the assassination attempts, and four years in exile have not weakened Donald Trump — they have invigorated him: more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any modern president. Taking us inside Oval Office deliberations, high-stakes military decisions, and the sweeping remaking of domestic and global policy, Haberman and Swan chart how Trump now uses power, who has tried to restrain him, and why nearly all have failed. In this live conversation, Haberman and Swan offer a gripping, real-time account of a second Trump term that is reshaping the presidency — and the country — for generations to come.
Gloria Steinem talks about her travels in this and other countries as an organizer, lecturer and frequent media spokeswoman on issues of equality and her work organizing across boundaries for peace and justice. Recorded Feb 28, 2012 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
Dave Portnoy didn't set out to be a political lightning rod — but love him or hate him, he's here to stay. Join the Barstool Sports founder for the unfiltered story of how he created a media empire. Dave Portnoy built Barstool Sports by trusting his instincts — and refusing to soften his voice. Now, in his new memoir Cancel Me If You Can, he tells the story behind the persona: the risks, missteps, reinventions, and stubborn persistence that carried him from handing out a scrappy Boston sports paper to leading a sprawling digital brand. What does it mean to build an audience by being unapologetically yourself? How do you navigate success when it arrives alongside scrutiny — and often, backlash? Hear Portnoy in a candid conversation about ambition, controversy, and the evolving rules of media and public life.
Join us for a lively conversation about the 2025–2026 Supreme Court term — one of the most consequential terms in recent memory. The Court struck down President Trump's sweeping tariffs in a 6–3 ruling, issued an 8–1 First Amendment decision on conversion therapy, and unanimously ruled that double jeopardy prevents two gun convictions for the same act. We'll break down these big decisions and others (e.g., transgender athlete bans, birthright citizenship, and voting rights), and discuss what it all means for American law and daily life. Join Supreme Court advocate and former Deputy Solicitor General of the United States, Neal Katyal; Touro Law Center constitutional law scholar and professor, Tiffany Graham; CNN Chief Supreme Court Analyst, Joan Biskupic; former Solicitor General of the United States, Noel Francisco; Slate senior writer, Mark Joseph Stern; and moderated by Touro law professor and legal analyst Thane Rosenbaum. Co-produced with @FOLCSevents .
