The Interesting MD Podcast Rising Violence and the Shifting Fate of American Democracy with Author Stephen Marche Part 1
In this episode of The Interesting MD Podcast, Dr. Rob Beck talks with Stephen Marche, author of The Next Civil War and creator of the Gloves Off podcast, about political instability and rising violence in the United States.
Marche explains why expert models increasingly point toward more civil unrest—not necessarily through dramatic conflict, but through fragmentation, disruption, and the breakdown of trust in institutions. Rob ties these ideas to the medical world, discussing why doctors and scientists may be uniquely exposed during social instability, and shares personal reflections from evacuating New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
A serious, eye-opening conversation about where the U.S. may be headed—and what it means for everyday life and the healthcare professionals living through it.
