The Hidden Politics of Disorder New York Times Podcasts 2024-10-18 | Crime data has been a flashpoint in this election. Kamala Harris has claimed that violent crime is at a “near 50-year low,” while Donald Trump has insisted that crime is going up. According to the numbers reported to the F.B.I., Harris is right: Crime, especially violent crime, has been falling. But if you look at survey data, Trump is tapping into something people feel. Last year, 77 percent of Americans told Gallup that they believe crime is on the rise.So what’s going on here? Why, if crime is falling, do people feel less safe? Charles Fain Lehman, a crime and drug policy researcher at the Manhattan Institute, wrote a piece on his Substack, The Causal Fallacy, on exactly this question (thecausalfallacy.com/p/its-time-to-talk-about-americas-disorder) . In this conversation, we discuss why he thinks Americans are feeling less safe, despite what the data says, as well as the ideological shifts taking place around drugs and crime, on both the left and the right.Mentioned:“Breakdown (city-journal.org/article/breakdown) ” by Heather Mac Donald“Between Tolerant Containment and Concerted Constraint: Managing Madness for the City and the Privileged Family (journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0003122419859533) ” by Neil GongBook Recommendations:Thinking About Crime (hachettebookgroup.com/titles/james-q-wilson/thinking-about-crime/9780465048847/?lens=basic-books) by James Q.

Stanley Tucci on His Year in Eating and a Look at the National Book Awards New York Times Podcasts 2024-10-11 | The actor-director-producer Stanley Tucci is also, famously, an avid eater, who has explored his enthusiasm for food through his travel show “Searching for Italy” and through two books: “Taste,” in 2021, and now a food diary, “What I Ate in One Year." In this week’s episode, Tucci discusses his new book with host Gilbert Cruz and talks about bad meals, his food idol and his path to tracking a year’s worth of eating.“The people at Simon & Schuster wanted me to write another book after ‘Taste,’ and I really didn’t know what to write,” Tucci says. “My wife said, Just write what you eat. So I did, because I do everything she says. And it actually ended up being such a pleasure to write. It just flowed very easily. As you start to write about the mundane, you start to mine all this stuff that you didn’t know you were thinking about, or that was happening. And that’s what the book is. It’s, in essence, the passage of time through the prism of food.”Also on this week’s episode, Gilbert chats with Joumana Khatib about the National Book Award finalists in fiction and nonfiction.Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Israel: ‘I Felt Lied To.’ New York Times Podcasts 2024-10-11 | In his new book of essays, “The Message (penguinrandomhouse.com/books/653438/the-message-by-ta-nehisi-coates) ,” Ta-Nehisi Coates writes about a trip he took to Israel and the West Bank in May 2023. “I felt lied to,” he told me. “I felt lied to by my craft. I felt lied to by major media organizations.”Coates’s essay is a searing portrait of Palestinian life under Israeli rule. It has also been criticized for leaving much out: Hamas is never mentioned. Nor is Oct. 7. Nor are any of the peace processes. So I asked him on the show to discuss what he saw when he was there and what he chose to leave outside the frame.Mentioned:“The Case for Reparations (theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631) ” by Ta-Nehisi CoatesThe Necessity of Exile (ayinpress.org/the-necessity-of-exile) by Shaul MagidThe Virtue of Nationalism (hachettebookgroup.com/titles/yoram-hazony/the-virtue-of-nationalism/9781541645387/?lens=basic-books) by Yoram Hazony“US media talks a lot about Palestinians — just without Palestinians (972mag.com/us-media-palestinians) ” by Maha NassarBook Recommendations:Justice for Some (sup.org/books/law/justice-some) by Noura ErakatOur American Israel (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674737624) by Amy KaplanThe Unspoken Alliance (penguinrandomhouse.com/books/132145/the-unspoken-alliance-by-sasha-polakow-suransky) by Sasha Polakow-SuranskyThoughts?

I Was a Teacher in Gaza. This Is What Haunts Me Now. New York Times Podcasts 2024-10-08 | The last time Mosab Abu Toha, a poet and teacher, was in a classroom in Gaza, it was to shelter with his students and their families, all seeking refuge from Israeli airstrikes. Since then, he and his family have fled Gaza, and they temporarily reside in the United States. In this audio essay, he shares what it means when classrooms cease being places of learning and become a family’s only hope for survival.Thoughts? Email us at theopinions@nytimes.com.
How Biden’s Middle East Policy Fell Apart New York Times Podcasts 2024-10-08 | On Oct. 6 of last year, the Biden administration was hammering out a grand Middle East bargain in which Saudi Arabia would normalize relations with Israel in exchange for a Palestinian state. And even after Hamas’s attack the following day, the U.S. hoped to keep that deal alive to preserve the conditions for some kind of durable peace. But that deal is now basically unviable. The war is expanding. Israel may be on the verge of occupying Gaza indefinitely and possibly southern Lebanon, too. So why was President Biden ineffective at achieving his goals? In the past year, has the U.S. been able to shape this conflict at all?Franklin Foer recently wrote a piece in The Atlantic (theatlantic.com/international/archive/2024/09/israel-gaza-war-biden-netanyahu-peace-negotiations/679581) trying to answer these questions. And he starts with the Biden administration’s attempts to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East — an effort that began well before Oct. 7. In this conversation, Foer walks through his reporting inside the diplomatic bubble of the conflict and the administrations of other Middle Eastern states that have serious stakes in Israel’s war in Gaza.Book Recommendations:Our Man (penguinrandomhouse.com/books/215731/our-man-by-george-packer) by George PackerSee Under (us.macmillan.com/books/9780312420697/seeunderlove) by David GrossmanCollected Poems (wwnorton.com/books/9780393354935) by Rita DoveThoughts?

I Live in Israel. I Never Hear About What My Country Is Doing to Gaza. New York Times Podcasts 2024-10-07 | Israeli anger toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been building in the year since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. Mairav Zonszein, an Israeli-American journalist and analyst, argues that this anger does not extend to the plight of the Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank. More than 41,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and yet, she says, Israelis are stuck in a cycle of “apathy” and “indifference,” unable to fully realize the devastation befalling their neighbors.Thoughts?

The Sunday Read: ‘The Blind Side’ Made Him Famous. But He Has a Different Story to Tell. New York Times Podcasts 2024-10-06 | It was an overcast Monday afternoon in late April, and Michael Oher, the former football player whose high school years were dramatized in the movie “The Blind Side,” was driving Michael Sokolove on a tour through a forlorn-looking stretch of Memphis and past some of the landmarks of his childhood.In the movie, Oher moves into the home of the wealthy white couple Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy. They take him shopping for clothes, help him obtain a driver’s license, buy him a pickup truck and arrange for tutoring that helps improve his grades and makes him eligible to play college football. In real life, Oher went on to play eight seasons as a starting offensive tackle in the N.F.L. and won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens.Now, Oher is suing the Tuohys, claiming that they have exploited him by using his name, image and likeness to promote speaking engagements that have earned them roughly $8 million over the last two decades — and by repeatedly saying that they adopted him when they never did.Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
