b'As unlikely as it may seem, until this episode was recorded, Kara Swisher and Rachel Maddow had never met. The two sat down for a riveting conversation that connects America\\u2019s unsavory and under-told authoritarian history with the unprecedented political peril we find ourselves in today.\\n\\nAfter addressing the increasingly desperate calls for President Biden to step down from members of the media and his own party, Kara and Maddow turn to her latest project: the podcast Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra. It focuses on far-right extremism and Nazi propagandists in American politics during the 1930s to 1950s. It\\u2019s a story that she connects to the country\\u2019s present existential crisis \\u2014 and one she looks to for guidance, as well. We ask her to explain.\\xa0\\n\\nPlease note \\u2014 this interview was recorded prior the the assassination attempt on former President Trump on July 13th.\\n\\nSEND US A QUESTION: Kara is talking to Dr. Becky this week about parenting, tech and social media and we\\u2019re opening the floor to listener questions.
