America stands at a crossroads, darker and more dangerous than many realize. On The Rising, we ask: What will it really take to defeat American fascism? How can we rise to the heights our parents and grandparents did when they faced the darkness of the Depression and World War II? We must find that same strength in ourselves, and each other, but it will take real courage, brutal honesty, and a level of coordinated action many of us have never attempted. This is not just a podcast, it’s a call to clarity, conviction, and the fight of our lives. A rising is coming.
In the hero's journey, there's always the moment when it seems absolutely impossible. The hero is going to fail. And that's the most important moment because that's when the hero says, no, I'm not going to fail, and we are not going to fail as a nation. The Rising is a show about the dark place America has found itself, but that's not where it ends. That's where it begins.
Speaker 1:It's been two or three generations in this country since we had to think really big, and we're gonna have to do big things. Reach deep inside ourselves. Think in a bigger way than we've ever done in our lives. But our grandparents did it. Our great grandparents did it.
Speaker 1:It's an American thing to do. I had a really good life as a writer, a producer, director, but this is where I need to be right now. Things have to change, and they're not gonna change by themselves. We wanna inspire people. We wanna inspire you.
Speaker 1:We must get to that moment, and we will get to that moment together. Imagine it. We're gonna be able to look back on this decades later and say, this is what we did. We saved America from the brink. Think what it will be like to stand back and witness what we all achieved in the rising.
