Shownotes Transcript

Despite Republican claims on "freedom" as a value, VP Kamala Harris is leaning into the word on the campaign trail.  

**On Today's Show:**Carlo Invernizzi-Accetti, professor of political science and executive director of the Moynihan Center at The City College of New York, and author of the forthcoming 20 Years of Rage: How Resentment Took the Place of Politics (Mondadori, 2024), explains the origins of freedom in political rhetoric and how the Harris-Walz ticket is seeking to redefine freedom after the American right carried the mantle as the party of freedom for decades.
