The Math Behind Every Successful Revolution
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin joins Tara Palmeri to discuss her new book, On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in the Age of Fear. Drawing on stories from whistleblowers, journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens around the world, Angwin explains why authoritarianism thrives on fear—and why collective, nonviolent action has historically been its greatest weakness. They discuss the warning signs of democratic backsliding, the importance of independent journalism, how corruption ultimately weakens authoritarian movements, and what ordinary people can do to resist intimidation without resorting to violence.

From Putin to Trump: 5 Times FIFA Bent the Knee
FIFA calls itself the guardian of the world's game — but pull back the curtain, Tara Palmeri argues, and it looks less like a sports body and more like a global power broker where politics and money matter more than soccer. In this documentary-style breakdown, Tara is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Ken Bensinger, author of "Red Card: How the U.S. Blew the Whistle on the World's Biggest Sports Scandal," to walk through FIFA's most damning chapters. They trace the through-line of patronage: Russia's bribe-fueled 2018 World Cup and Gianni Infantino's full-throated embrace of Vladimir Putin (who awarded him the Order of Friendship at the Kremlin); the 1978 tournament staged in Argentina under a murderous military dictatorship; Qatar 2022, won through bribery and built by migrant workers who died by the thousands, then defended by Infantino's surreal "Today I feel Qatari, today I feel a migrant worker" speech; and the engineered 2034 process that cleared every rival so Saudi Arabia could win unopposed — shortly before state oil giant Aramco signed a massive FIFA sponsorship. Finally, they get to the 2026 World Cup on North American soil, where — for the first time in 60 years — a red-card suspension was overturned, not through a referee appeal, but after President Trump personally called the FIFA president. Bensinger explains why, given everything about how FIFA operates, that stunning reversal was almost inevitable — and how Infantino's cultivation of Trump, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia keeps the money flowing and his grip on power secure. 0:00 – FIFA as a global power broker: meet reporter Ken Bensinger 0:43 – Russia 2018: bribes, sanctions, and Infantino's embrace of Putin 1:49 – Argentina 1978: a World Cup under a military dictatorship 2:13 – Qatar 2022: bribery, migrant worker deaths, and the "Today I feel…" speech 3:58 – The Saudi Arabia 2034 maneuver — and the Aramco sponsorship 5:23 – Trump's phone call that overturned a red card at the 2026 World Cup 6:53 – Infantino's grip on power, an $11 billion World Cup, and dodging questions Learn more about your ad choices.
