- In a very special 1-on-1 episode of Talking Feds, Rachel Maddow joins Harry to discuss the stunning, and relatively unknown, historical episodes of American flirtation with fascism and armed insurrection in the 1940s, which she chronicles in her latest tour-de-force podcast, Ultra. After delving into some of the highlights of the remarkable 80-year-old story, the two discuss the possible lessons for our own troubled times and how we as a society can push back against today’s parallel threats.

Thank you both for clear information. You are a service to our society.
Yes! Yes! And YES!
So excited to see Rachel Maddow today with you Harry. We love her, read her book Bagman and loved it. We listened to Ultra driving home from Texas to California. We couldn’t stop listening to it, we were blown away by all that we had never heard about! We were really stunned, and we kept looking at each other and saying “history is repeating itself”! Great job Rachel. Please keep it up, this is our history, and it sure is not taught in our schools!
With trumps love of Hitler's book mein komph, his actions were almost duplicated.
When will you do a book on Daddy Bush and drugs for rifles, to Jeb and the lost election, to Dubya attacking Iraq. It is essential to accurate U.S. history. YALE U. Secret organizations also need a bright light shined on them.
Of course Pope Pius 12 and those in the Vatican and many priests and Catholics helped war criminals escape . Daniel Silva has written (beautifully researched) several books that cover Catholicism, with an intriguing Jewish protagonist.

Ultra was an amazing podcast!
I love Rachel and miss her being on 5 nights a week.
Can't wait to see the film adaptation of Bagman!
Thank you, Harry and Rachel.
When two brilliant minds converge you get clarity. From outpost New Zealand, well done guys. I was in the UK during the war but was too busy playing soldiers to understand the reality of those days. An Ultra film would be a blockbuster>
Rachel Maddow is a National Treasure!
Thank you for having her on the show Harry.
Rachel looks so well without the standard make up and tv lighting, We need more and more of presenters given the opportunity to look like real people with natural rich facial expressions which adds to their creditibility
@@janedexter2869 100%
She missed her opportunity to be a National Treasure. She completely ignored the actions and behavior of the cdc and fda regarding covid treatment and protocol related to the virus and varients.
You mean like typhus or coleria?
Wow that’s exactly how I feel about her! How lucky is her mate to share an evening, daytime or lifetime with this fascinating brain!!!I know my husband should be jealous but I have a brain crush on her❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦
Rachel is absolutely brilliant. She blew me away with her research and that history repeats itself. She made me feel hopeful for the future.
Not just a talking head like many in the press .
TOO BAD her research is nothing but lying BS that's going nowhere she one of the biggest lairs on FAKE NEWS. PUTTING HOPE IN HER IS LIKE TRUSTING A STUPID POS.
i was born in 1959. my dad, a teacher, taught me to read via newspapers and let us watch the viet nam war on the nightly news every evening. by the fourth grade i had figured out the government is NOT on our side.
naturally, i have never once voted republican.
yes - no schmitt 💙
To my huniliation. I first voted republican in 1972 Reagan first term and Rush Limbaugh woke me up in 1983. I will forever wear that shame. But i have been fighting GOP ever since. I have social liberal views but conservative views. Far from GOPs actual views. The biggest mistake the last 70 years was ever electing a Republican to public office.
Love knowing Rachel listens to this podcast 💙💜
An excellent discussion. ULTRA is a very educational podcast series. The best bit about it is learning about how we have faced similar challenges to our democracy in the past and that we were able to overcome them, at least temporarily. It feels like this will be an ongoing struggle in society for some time to come. I’m pleased to hear that it is going to be turned into a movie.👍
I can NOT get enough of Miss Maddow's podcasts! CAn't wait for the films to come out!
What an absolutely intriguing video. Thanks to both for taking the time to make this video. I’m a Brit but what happens in America has a huge bearing on us here and around the world. Let’s hope this fascistic maga party is dealt with at the polls next time round. Thank you again.
Many Americans don't realize the influence we have and why so many people world wide have a stake in what's going on here. There's plenty of sane people trying to push back against the fascists. Keep us in your thoughts.
The UK also had a small facist following .
Yup, it is a small world after all.🤔i
@@georgesheffield1580 I hope you are able to keep it small, very small.
I will be voting blue 💙🔵 to halt this moment in history with Trumph lies, his misinformed base, and his enablers in the house and Senate. I hope many voters realize the need to be together to keep Trumph out and democracy safe!!
Ahhh two of my favorite people...
Truly, a fascinating conversation. Thank you☮️💜
I've been a fan of Rachel since her NPR days. She never disappoints.
ULTRA was chillingly familiar to our present.
Because if history doesn’t rhyme it repeats.
Thank you. I was also stunned by Ultra. Glad you promoted it.
Thank you for having Rachel on. I'm a huge fan of hers. I will certainly try to find "Ultra". This is so frightening. I just have to hope and pray that we don't sink that low again. I've given some thought to emigrating but don't know where to. I just hope we can fix our problems.
Ultra is on any Podcast, or Audible book. We listened to it while driving from Texas to our home in California. We were mesmerized by it, and couldn’t stop listening to it! It will not disappoint you.
I recommend it. It’s free with ads.
Thank you, this was a great conversation.
Wow! How does a channel with less than 30k subscribers, (however awesome and a hidden jewel) not only get Rachel Maddow on for a one on one long form chat, but have her be excited and looking forward to it?
I’m gobsmacked and oh so pleasantly surprised 💕 congratulations on an excellent, educational and entertaining video!
Thank you so much for inviting Ms Maddow to be on your program. It’s like hitting the jackpot twice on the same day. Everything positive I have heard about her is true twice over since I started watching her regularly. We are indeed fortunate to have so many outstanding individuals to guide us & keep us well informed through this truly historic Election Cycle!
Such a great interview and talk. I listened to Ultra, and I learned a lot of new interesting facts and details about those events from this discussion. Thank you,
You said it Harry! You and Rachel together, riveting! Rachel's knowledge of government in history is astounding! And yours in law and government equally astounding! Thank you both so much!
Fantastic interview
So awesome! Harry is so cool and now he gets the best, most amazing, funny person that I love to see and listen to since she was on with Al Franken way back in the day. ❤️
I loved both of her podcasts. First rate.
I'm 79. I can remember my Dad talking about the Fascist Father (Dad loathed him) when I was a kid growing up in Detroit. Interesting to hear that name again and to learn even more about him. Thanks.
As I drove across the country at Christmas on I 40 then I 10, I listened to Ultra and then listened again to Bag Man. Looking forward to the movie. They were both so good.
I was a Maddow fan, long before she took up fishing.
Since, right after she sold the Volvo.
5/2 what a "wow" conversation. Was trying to listen while working, and had to stop and just listen. Thank you Harry for having this interview, and God bless Rachel for doing this work. Going to listen to the Ppodcast this evening.
How good was this episode !!!!!
Thank you so much
Australia 🇦🇺
Education is so very important I really appreciate Rachel and you the honesty is like breathing fresh air
Rachel Maddow is a national treasure. Our country is in a perilous time because so many of our elected officials (and citizens) are woefully ignorant of our history and don’t care. Keep up the good and necessary work Rachel (and you too Harry) ❤❤👍🏽👍🏽.
What a cool surprise thank you!
Amazing discussion. Thanks to you both.
Loved ULTRA, and have recommended to everyone. Thanks Harry and Rachel. Great episode.
I can't thank Rachel Maddow enough for her work with historical perspective. History has much to teach us when we take the time to look at the past. Thank both of you for a satisfactory discussion.
The parallels are horrifying. Ty for your hard work on this
Excellent
absolutely love rachel!!! been watching her shows for years
I’m loving this conversation.. ❤
Thanks so much for sharing❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love Rachel. I was disappointed when she reduced her show to 1 day a week. She's a wonderful journalist. I listened to Bag Man, haven't listened to Ultra yet, but will be sure to do so. Thank you for having Rachel on!
Rachel is very good at connecting the dots for those of us who are searching for answers to how our political systems got so screwed up.
Love her show. Rachel is a very good investigative reporter.
Fabulous show. Always like your videos.❤
Great discussion. The very people who should be listening to this discussion are sadly absent and are currently at home working on growing their list of banned books.
An incredible conversation. Ultra and Bagman are treasures that marry history with story telling. Your conversation with Rachel is an oral appendix to those podcasts.
Rachel could read a phone book (boy that ages me!) and I'd learn something. She's incredible and I appreciate her being on your show.
*CASTING!* I would dearly love to hear an episode - or change of pace intermission - where you discuss the casting - dying to hear who you're thinking of for Father Coughlin
EXCELLENT choice...awesome discussion.
Awesome show!!
This is excellent!!! Thank you both!
Rachel is the best!!!!
Yay! Love both of you!! Thanks for always reporting the truth in all things political!!
Excellent!! They never taught us about this even in college!
We love Rachel! ♥️♥️♥️
That was great!
Do it again again 👏🏽🇺🇸✔️OTE✔️
Listen to Ultra! Incredible!
Thank you, Rachel Maddow and Harry Litman for this specific podcast on American Fascism.
In the late 1960s, I resided in W. Germany; living off base, within the German economy, and working for the U.S. government. I recall then conversations with our German landlady who shared her family’s times she endured under Adolf Hitler’s regime.
Authoritarianism is Fascism. Are we, as Americans, so naïve? So blind? So unmindful too grasp the wolf in sheep’s clothing? Or, has time simply left us void of the truth that our ancestors fought against and died for, so we might have democracy?
Let’s hope Americans are listening to this podcast so “we see and grasp” our vulnerability to fascism, which is subtly insidious. Amen.
Godspeed, Rachel Maddow…
What a powerful and interesting episode. So important to hear this historical information. Scary stuff but it helps to understand what’s happening now.
So much wisdom, thank you both.
AGH!!! LOVE THIS (miss you daily, Rachel!)!!!
ULTRA is AMAZING
Thanks to both of you for such eye opening truth!!! Fantastic!!!
Just subscribed because I always want to hear what Harry has to say, and this video was just on top. You did a show with one of my most favorite people in the whole world. You made my Tuesday with a video posted 2 months ago!
Oh, fantastic! Two of my favorite personalities! Do this often 🔥
Thanks so much, Rachael and Harry. This program provides a glimmer of hope. Another voice against democracy at and before the time of Coughlin was the well-known journalist and literary figure, Walter Lippmann. Noam Chomsky, in his documentary “Manufacturing Consent,” mentions Lippmann and Lippmann’s book “Public Opinion” as rather foundational to the idea that some people don’t deserve a voice in governing. The idea can be traced back to Plato and the idea of Philosopher Kings. Of course the problem is and always has been: just which people should be in this cadre of power. There are always those who, if left to their unfettered devices, will seek money and power to satisfy their own selfish desires. The others of us are content to contribute and to live our lives in peace. This is why Democracy, however flawed and vulnerable, is the best form of government.
Rachel is the best!! At the total top of her field. Thanks for having her on Harry!! Keep up the great work! :D
Exactly correct. i had written papers on Father Coughlin, Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford & "America First" so I thought I knew the history of the period, when I'd only scratched the surface.
The fact that th rot was underneath deeply imbedded in US politics brought a shock of recognition to me. Thank you, Rachel.
Rachael and Harry are in their element when they summarize history and draw parallels to today.
The two you are great you explain every thing in a way that helps me to understand what is happening now thank you for having Rachel on and today's stream
Very recently, a woman that I had connected with here on UA-cam, a woman whom I liked very much, who seemed to be a progressive Democrat, made a few unbelievably anti-semitic remarks - causing me to have to depart from the group as I cannot overlook stuff like that. I told her I would not be able to return in private email and then she made yet another remark - saying jewish people always give her a stomach ache. since I am a jewish convert (partially in protest of the holocaust) I was sort of used to it as often people will say the most appalling things, not knowing I am Jewish (since I don’t look jewish). I think she did know though. the interesting thing was that all of the other women are now not speaking to me either - I guess in support of her as she was the group leader. A few weeks earlier, I had sent each woman a piece of my artwork and they all appreciated it very much. I had spent a great deal of time creating these little wooden collaged pieces all using cutouts from the same watercolor painting. Now I wish I had not wasted so much of my time on them. I know that sounds bitter but this was the worst incident of anti-Semitism I had ever personally encountered actually.
My childhood home was roughly a mile away from Hercules. I’ll never forget the explosion that happened in ‘89 that blew several of our windows out.
My favourite journalist. Very enlightening. Thx
Wow....this was riveting!!!
Rachel is so smart & funny, really miss the four days she's no longer on...a brilliant mind!
I would definitely go see that movie!
Like Harry, I am gobsmocked! I am a historian by nature and was very focused on Nazi Germany for many years. I knew about the isolationists and I knew about Lindburgh being an anti-semite but had no idea about this Catholic priest or how high numbers of 1940s Americans were committed to a Nazi party or at least Nazi sympathizers. It brings me some hope that we can overcome this current rendition of American Nazism.
Best guest
Harry and Rachel are my new best friends. Thanks for this. My wife and I purchased a home in Wellington NZ that stood in good order for over a hundred years, on land that gets over a hundred earthquakes a year. My wife, who wanted it more than I said it will most likely stand for another hundred. No, no it most likely won’t I told her. With every little quake the foundation gradually gives way and becomes vulnerable.
Democracy as well. It’s not enough just to send the seditious elements into retreat. Each of their efforts will continue to erode, in some small measure at least, the foundation. We need to eliminate the need for their festering in the first place. Suggestions?
Referred from Ben Meiselas & first video is Rachel Maddw❣️ 😍 I'm subscribed & this interview gets a big 👍🏼 Welcome, to MT💙
Great show!
Fascinating chat!❤
Interestingly this all was taught in school in Panama in the 50's and 60's but almost never in the US .
MT sent me. Welcome back Harry!
Awesome show ❤
thank you
Excellent. Rachel Maddow ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Here for you, Harry! Sent by Meidas Touch!
Thank you! My in-laws grew up knowing Coughlin in his parish. Their Royal Oak Catholic contemporaries were unashamedly (because they are blissfully free of self-examination) of the unacceptability of their bigoted view. I grew up amongst the Detroit Catholics who opposed them in the 1940's. Woah, cultural shock!
Wow just wow
.....and Harry....thanks a million 38:37
I just love you guys!
One your best interview because Rachel doesn't blow smoke.
Unfettered diallogue.
Great interview! Thank you
Hey Harry Midas mighty send me over to you guys you guys are doing a great job keep up the good work
Ultra was neat, being Canadian I only vaguely heard about the sedition in question.
How come We didn't know ?!! Secrets are so well kept from Americans and yet other far off places heard of it !!!!
I love Rachel Maddow and Meidas Touch; honest and fact based commentary so badly needed to dispel MAGA lies and anti democracy rhetoric.
History does not repeat, but it rhymes.
How can I have studied US history at a preeminent university and NOT heard of Ultra?! (I feel let down 😮)
