The Hidden Politics of Disorder

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] (https://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.

Book Review: Robert Caro on 50 Years of ‘The Power Broker’

As of this week, the archive of this show is behind a paywall. The three most recent episodes are free, but earlier episodes are available only to New York Times subscribers. If you don’t want the whole subscription, there’s an audio-only subscription for $1.50 a week. That gets you access to our archives, as well as the archives of all the other great Times podcasts. To help make the pitch here, I wanted to share an episode from our friends at the “Book Review” podcast. It’s hosted by Gilbert Cruz, the editor of The Times’s Book Review section. And I thought you might enjoy this particular episode with Robert Caro about his book “The Power Broker.” It came out 50 years ago, and it’s still one of the most influential books in politics and policy circles — for better or for worse. In this conversation they dig into why that is and what to make of the book’s legacy. I hope you enjoy it.  To learn more about the subscription, visit [nytimes.com/podcasts] (https://nytimes.com/podcasts) .  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.’

In his new book of essays, “ [The Message] (https://www.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] (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/) ” by Ta-Nehisi Coates [The Necessity of Exile] (https://ayinpress.org/the-necessity-of-exile/) by Shaul Magid [The Virtue of Nationalism] (https://www.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] (https://www.972mag.com/us-media-palestinians/) ” by Maha Nassar Book Recommendations: [Justice for Some] (https://www.sup.org/books/law/justice-some) by Noura Erakat [Our American Israel] (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674737624) by Amy Kaplan [The Unspoken Alliance] (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/132145/the-unspoken-alliance-by-sasha-polakow-suransky/) by Sasha Polakow-Suransky Thoughts?

How Biden’s Middle East Policy Fell Apart

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] (https://www.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.
