YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Robert Reich, the 79-year-old former labor secretary under President Clinton and longtime professor at U.C. Berkeley, Brandeis and Harvard, has been raising the alarm about rising inequality in America for more than four decades.

Now retired from teaching, he’s become a new-media star with an audience of millions across Substack, TikTok and Instagram, warning that inequality erodes social trust, diminishes belief in democracy and can create openings for demagogues.

In conversation with David Marchese, Reich reckons with the political failures of his fellow baby boomers, the rise of what he sees as a culture of brutality and bullying and why Democrats have failed to connect with struggling Americans.

“The Interview” features conversations with the world’s most fascinating people. Each week, cohosts David Marchese and Lulu GarciaNavarro talk to compelling, influential figures in culture, politics, business, sports and beyond illuminating who they are, why they do what they do and how they impact the rest of us.
