As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force. Join Rachel Maddow for Episode One, launching June 10, 2024, and follow now. You can also subscribe to MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts for early access to every episode the Friday before it drops, and ad-free listening to all episodes in Ultra seasons one and two.

History rhyming strongly

This is a fascinating recounting of this history. My father in law experienced the fear of this right wing scourge when he was starting his medical career. This after serving as a surgeon in WW2 in North Africa and Italy. Now we hear the same old playbook in recent history of election denialism, monkeying with the electoral college, and shameless lying to further their cause. I appreciated the mention of Richard Nixon defending democracy in 1960. If only he had maintained that ideal into the late sixties and seventies. Next I want to hear about the thread from Yocky to the Heritage foundation.

I was really looking forward to this podcast. In this dangerous political climate , it is crucial to remind voters how fragile democracy is. I had to walk away at episode 5. The music is so distracting and annoying that I could not focus on the dialog. The message was compelling enough on it’s own with out resorting to creating a theatrical production! Very dissappointed.
Amazing storytelling!!

It’s not the everyday news cycle. I think of it as one of the best classrooms for this type of American history. I have to slow my role and listen so I won’t miss all the pieces as they add up to an extraordinary story. Truly amazing work. Thank you so much. It’s really appreciated.
