- [Unspeakable tragedy transformed her – now this judge thinks America can do the same](https://www.ms.now/video-podcast/unspeakable-tragedy-transformed-her-now-this-judge-thinks-america-can-do-the-same-2516130883621): After the tragic death of her son, Judge Esther Salas allowed her pain to transform her\. Salas knows what it’s like to overcome a dark moment\. On July 19th, 2020, the U\.S\. district judge suffered a devastating loss: a man who had been a plaintiff in her court years prior murdered her only son and severely injured her husband\. Speaking with Nicolle about the state of the country amidst growing political violence and President Trump’s charged rhetoric against judges, Judge Salas says she thinks America could learn from her personal experience: “Norms have been broken, rules have been shattered,” she observed\. “But just like we’ve done in the past, we’re gonna pick up the pieces\.” With an unbending belief in the sanctity of the American justice system and a willingness to forgive, Judge Salas teaches us rebuilding is possible, even at its most daunting\.
- [Nicolle and Aaron Sorkin: This is Trump’s “ultimate mind f\*\*”](https://www.ms.now/video-podcast/nicolle-and-aaron-sorkin-this-is-trump-s-ultimate-mind-f-2516825155672): Aaron Sorkin wasn’t planning to make another movie about Facebook — until he met a whistleblower whose story he felt compelled to tell\. In an expansive conversation with Nicolle Wallace, the Oscar\- and Emmy\-winning writer and director discusses his new film, The Social Reckoning, and the extraordinary power Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook wield over nearly 3 billion people — and the costly decisions that have shaped the platform’s impact on our lives, our politics and our democracy\.
A follow\-up to 2010’s The Social Network, Sorkin’s new film examines Facebook in the age of Trump, telling the story of whistleblower Frances Haugen’s decision to expose internal documents detailing misinformation and potential harms, while exploring an older Zuckerberg confronting the consequences of the technology he created\. Sorkin explains why he chose to release the film ahead of the midterm elections and why he believes there is still room for optimism — if we are willing to act\.

Wallace and Sorkin explore Zuckerberg’s immense influence, the decisions surrounding Facebook on January 6, the people inside the company who knew what was happening and remained silent, and why Wallace sees Zuckerberg as “bubble wrapped from reality\.” They discuss the complicated empathy the film invites audiences to feel for Zuckerberg — and how that empathy can coexist with accountability for decisions that affect billions\. Sorkin also shares the story of Zuckerberg’s former consigliere and their falling out, his reaction to Jeremy Strong’s portrayal of Zuckerberg \(whom Sorkin calls “the best American actor under 50 years old”\), and Facebook’s efforts to obtain the film’s script before its release\. He reveals how the filmmakers prepared for potential legal challenges, including the threat of a lawsuit\.

The conversation also examines Trump’s relationship with Zuckerberg, the former president’s attacks on the media despite his apparent appetite for attention from credible news organizations, and the essential role investigative journalism plays in holding powerful people and institutions accountable\. Wallace and Sorkin discuss why Congress and the law continue to lag behind rapidly advancing technology, the consequences of leaving that power unchecked, and why the stakes for democracy could hardly be higher\.

And in a moment that connects Sorkin’s celebrated work across generations, the conversation turns to A Few Good Men, Hegseth’s “illegal order” and the enduring importance of questioning authority\. Wallace, who was inspired by Allison Janney’s portrayal of White House Press Secretary C\.J\. Cregg on The West Wing to imagine a future for herself in the White House, joins Sorkin in reflecting on the responsibilities of the press, the dangers of unchecked power and the choices that define our political moment\.

From Facebook’s influence over billions of lives to Trump, whistleblowers, investigative journalism and the future of American democracy, Sorkin’s message is clear: We need to take democracy more seriously\.
- [Dump Trump: NBA legend on how uniting will save Democracy](https://www.ms.now/video-podcast/dump-trump-nba-legend-on-how-uniting-will-save-democracy-2517601347694): Doc Rivers has coached some of the best players in history\. He has some advice for the rest of us, too\.

Doc Rivers knows ball\. The former NBA player and title\-winning coach \(Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks\) believes that America is overdue for a true reckoning — and that the moment is now\. “We're having more difficult conversations now than we ever had,” he tells Nicolle\. Drawing parallels between basketball and the nation that built the game, Rivers likens America in the second Trump presidency to a divided team, encouraging us to fiercely participate in democracy in order to save it\. “You have to try to put yourself out to make the team better as a whole,” he says\. Now retired and removed from the day\-to\-day grind of the court, Rivers reflects on attacks on the press, a lackluster education system and threats to voting rights ahead of the midterms\. But given all that, he makes it a point to stay outspoken — and hopeful\. “I always think this country survives everything,” he says\. “And it's going to survive this — but we gotta do it together\.”
- [Is the Right’s theory of MEN'S happiness dependent on HUMILIATING other people?](https://www.ms.now/video-podcast/is-the-right-s-theory-of-men-s-happiness-dependent-on-humiliating-other-people-2517932611641): Ken Paxton’s list of scandals keeps growing – from his wife’s tweet last summer \(”Today, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds”\) to “Wall Street Journal” reporting last week that he rang in the New Year in Dubai a couple years ago with two fugitives from justice\. But if you listen to Republicans, his opponent James Talarico is the real monster\. “The Atlantic” writer Adam Serwer joins Chris to break down how the right has tried to turn Paxton's negative qualities into positives by painting real men as jerks and men like Talarico are, well, not men\. Serwer argues this Republican strategy has been heavily influenced by the toxic manosphere that’s been brewing in this country\. “If we can make men feel insecure about themselves they will adopt right\-wing views in order to feel better about themselves,” he says\. “And then they will vote Republican\.”
- [Why Donald Trump is like Walter White in 'Breaking Bad' I Clock It](https://www.ms.now/video-podcast/why-donald-trump-is-like-walter-white-in-breaking-bad-i-clock-it-2517462083803): Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the administration would livestream a public firing squad execution\. In New York City, an ICE agent shot immigrant Oscar Bergal in the neck while he was driving a car with his five\-year\-old son in the backseat\. “We're moving the bar on what is socially acceptable,” says Daniel Peña, the latest member of the Clock It groupchat\. Symone and Eugene invited the Pushcart Prize\-winning writer \& Fulbright\-Garcia Robles Scholar to discuss his new book “How to Look Away,” America’s evolving relationship with violence, how hit TV shows from the 2010s predicted Donald Trump’s rise and the use of force for political gain\. “ For people who were like, it was outside the realm of their imaginations that Trump could happen, you saw pretty quickly like, no, this is in the DNA of the country right now,” he says\.

Symone and Eugene also break down how seismic the 2026 midterms are with so many elections impacting every American\. From the crucial Senate and House races to the hugely consequential state level races\.
