Chris Murphy: Everything Is Broken

πŸŽ™οΈ Impolitic with John Heilemann πŸ• June 7, 2026 at 9:45 PM

John welcomes back Democratic Senator Chris Murphy to discuss his new book β€œCrisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America.” Murphy lays out his book’s argument that America is in the grip of a set of interlocking cults (the Cult of Profit, Cult of Everywhere, Cult of Technology, Cult of Consumerism, Cult of Credentialism, and Cult of Corruption) that have undermined our culture and democracyβ€”and suggests creating a Cult of the Common Good to remedy what ails us. He also weighs in on the diplomatic quagmire in Iran and Donald Trump’s wildly prolific, deeply suspicious penchant for day trading.
