About The Oath and The Office
Mixing sharp wit and serious political fire, The Oath and The Office is where hard-hitting constitutional analysis meets razor-sharp comedy. Distinguished political science professor Corey Brettschneider teams up with comedian John Fugelsang to break down the most powerful 35 words in American democracy—the presidential oath of office. Every president swears to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution, but what happens when one openly attacks democracy and the rule of law itself? Each week, Corey and John pull no punches, exposing the latest threats to the rule of law and demanding accountability. Smart, fearless, and wickedly funny—this is the civics lesson you can’t afford to miss.

People have different experiences. They've got different parents. They've got different genes and so on. And what they designed was a system which can accept that as a reality that one side is never going to win over the other, but find ways to move forward to do things that are for the common good that you have to do. And that's the piece which now, and there have been other times in our history, I think that we're losing a little bit. […]
