Legs McNeil: The Man Who Named Punk Has Some Scores to Settle
Episode 93
Show notes
Legs McNeil helped give punk its name. As a cofounder of Punk magazine and coauthor of Please Kill Me, he was at the center of the downtown New York scene that changed rock and roll forever.
Now, with his new memoir Resident Punk, he joins Michael Moynihan to revisit the chaotic early days of CBGB, his bitter falling out with Punk cofounder John Holmstrom, and why he disputes Patti Smith's account of the era in Just Kids. Along the way, he recalls his relationship with Sinéad O'Connor, his years investigating the porn industry, and his struggles with alcoholism and addiction. He also reflects on surviving a scene that claimed so many of his friends, finding happiness later in life, and why he eventually left New York City behind.

What the West Gets Wrong About the Middle East | Simon Sebag Montefiore
Episode 91
Show notes
Historian and bestselling author Simon Sebag Montefiore joins Michael Moynihan to discuss his new book, The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East, and the history behind one of the world's most contested regions. They examine the myths surrounding Israel's founding, the Palestinian Nakba, the rise and fall of Arab nationalism, and the emergence of political Islam. Montefiore challenges the popular decolonization narrative, explains why the Iranian Revolution of 1979 transformed the region, and considers why Western audiences, particularly younger generations, have embraced increasingly distorted versions of Middle Eastern history. Along the way, they discuss antisemitism, the failures of Israeli leadership, the prospects for democracy in the Arab world, and whether Israelis and Palestinians can ever reach a lasting political settlement.

Episode 83
Show notes
Before The Moynihan Report goes on a break to regroup (and reconstitute), Michael Moynihan takes a deep dive into the "stupid era" of modern media and the weaponization of history. From the useful idiots romanticizing the Cuban regime to the decline of the public intellectual in favor of the hyper-reactive influencer, Moynihan dissects how context is lost in our chopped-up media landscape.
The conversation moves from the town square test of free societies to the curious parallels between far-left and far-right propaganda. Michael also answers listener questions regarding his tenure at The Fifth Column, his diverging paths with other media figures, and why studying history is the only defense against an epidemic of dangerous stupidity.

Iran, War, and the Nuclear Panic Machine | The Moynihan Report
Episode 81
Show notes
The Moynihan Report is an in-depth 1-on-1 interview program broadcast live from 2WAY’s New York studio
The U.S. says it is not a war. Reality looks different. Ships are being sunk in international waters. Militias are firing rockets across the region. Drones are crisscrossing the skies. Assassinations have become an instrument of statecraft. And the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow chokepoint through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil flows, is more dangerous than ever.
This week we’re joined by Emmy-nominated journalist Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani, former correspondent for VICE News Tonight, to unpack the strange geopolitical standoff between Washington and Tehran and the narrative that seems to hover over it all: the idea that Iran is perpetually on the verge of building a nuclear bomb.

Epstein 101 with Arick Fudali | The Moynihan Report
Episode 80
Show notes
Attorney Arick Fudali, managing partner at The Bloom Firm and counsel for 11 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, joins us to break down the latest controversy surrounding the DOJ’s release of millions of pages of Epstein documents. Fudali has said publicly that his clients were never contacted by the DOJ before the recent document dump, calling the rollout a “gross mishandling” that risks exposing survivors while withholding key information.
We discuss what the files reveal, what’s still missing, and why survivors’ advocates say the process falls short on transparency, accountability, and basic protections.

The age of American Fascism? Oxford Professor Explains | The Moynihan Report
Episode 77
Show notes
What do we actually mean when we say “fascism,” and who gets to decide?
In this episode, Michael Moynihan is joined by Professor Roger Griffin of Oxford Brookes University, one of the world’s foremost scholars of fascism, for a careful and unsparing look at a claim now ricocheting through American media and politics: that Donald Trump represents a fascist turn in U.S. history.
The conversation engages directly with Jonathan Rauch’s recent Atlantic essay, “Yes, It’s Fascism,” and uses it as a jumping-off point to interrogate the term itself. What distinguishes fascism from authoritarianism, populism, or demagoguery? How do historians and political theorists define it? And when those definitions are applied rigorously, does Trump qualify?
This is not a debate by slogan or vibe. It is an attempt to slow the moment down, clarify the language, and examine the charge with scholarly precision rather than panic or partisanship.

Trump at the WEF, defining fascism, Hitler revisionist history, + more | The Moynihan Report
Episode 76
Show notes
In this episode of The Moynihan Report, Moynihan tackles the latest New York Times/Siena poll regarding Donald Trump’s approval ratings and the American economy. Moynihan breaks down the disparity between Trump’s overall numbers and his low approval on specific issues like the Russia-Ukraine war and the Epstein files. The conversation then pivots to a critical look at the economic impact of tariffs, citing recent data from the Wall Street Journal on who actually foots the bill for trade wars.
Listeners join the show to discuss heavy-hitting historical and political topics. The discussion covers the definition of fascism versus authoritarianism (and whether modern labels fit Trump), the forgotten contributions of Danish soldiers in the War on Terror, and a deep dive into historical revisionism with Brendan Simms’ biography of Hitler. The episode concludes with a nostalgic look at intellectual combat, featuring William F. Buckley, Norman Mailer, and the classic documentary Town Bloody Hall.
Key Questions Answered in This Episode:
1. What does the latest NYT/Siena poll say about Trump’s approval?
2. Who really pays for tariffs: China or the American consumer?
3. Is buying gold and silver a solution to the U.S. National Debt?
4. What is the difference between Fascism and Authoritarianism?
5. What is Brendan Simms’ theory about Hitler’s motivation?
6. Did Denmark fight in the War on Terror?
7. Who won the debate between Norman Mailer and Feminists in Town Bloody Hall?

Everything MAGA gets wrong about economics | The Moynihan Report
Episode 75
Show notes
This episode of The Moynihan Report features Swedish author Johan Norberg, who joins Moynihan to discuss the shifting global economic and political landscape in 2026. The conversation begins with a critical look at U.S. trade policy, where Norberg argues that recent tariffs act as a "stupid consumption tax" that harms American manufacturing by raising the cost of input materials. Contrary to the America First narrative, he contends that these costs are absorbed by consumers and businesses rather than foreign exporters, fueling inflation that remains higher in the U.S. than in Europe. While the world has avoided a 1930s-style trade collapse so far by not retaliating, Norberg warns that new threats of tariffs on European nations could trigger a more damaging trade war.
Transitioning to his home country, Norberg dispels the myth of Sweden as a socialist paradise, explaining that its wealth was actually built on a century of ruthless free market capitalism before the stagnation caused by 1970s socialist experiments. He notes that while Sweden is a large welfare state, its tax system is less progressive than America's, relying heavily on taxing the middle class and consumption rather than "soaking the rich." The discussion also touches on the geopolitical fallout of U.S. aggression toward Greenland, which Norberg suggests marks the end of the American world order. This instability is driving European nations to rearm and even consider nuclear deterrents, while global markets begin diversifying away from the U.S. dollar due to perceived political risk.
Finally, they address the paradox of capitalism's declining popularity among young people despite creating unprecedented abundance, which Norberg attributes to a deep-seated human bias toward viewing wealth as a zero-sum game.
