Join New York Times-bestselling author and former US Attorney Barbara McQuade with Preet Bharara for a conversation and live podcast recording of hit podcast Stay Tuned with Preet, about corruption, national security, and the far right — and McQuade’s new book, The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government.

Drawing on decades of legal experience getting to the root of how organized crime and political opportunism exploit the levers of power, Barbara McQuade’s new book is an exploration of the MAGA movement’s uncomfortable overlap with a mafia-style culture of corruption. Weaving together courtroom stories, real-time political analysis, and cautionary lessons from history, McQuade uncovers how a system of legal checks and balances is being dismantled — and how we can reclaim the rule of law.

Hear McQuade and Bharara in an accessible, eye-opening conversation grounded in constitutional faith — a wake-up call for how we can work together to recenter democracy in American life.

The Author Events Series presents Barbara McQuade | The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government

FOR MORE INFORMATION: https://libwww.freelibrary.org/programs/authorevents?id=163804

In The Fix, McQuade draws on her decades of experience as a federal prosecutor to reveal how systems of organized crime and political opportunism exploit the levers of power—using corruption, cruelty, and chaos as tools to dominate institutions and eliminate accountability. With clarity, precision, and moral force, she exposes the tactics of today’s far-right MAGA system: information warfare, aggressive retribution, conformism enforced by fear, and pervasive dismantling of legal checks and balances necessary to defend the public interest and uphold justice.

Weaving together courtroom stories, real-time political analysis, and cautionary lessons from history and democratic backsliding abroad, McQuade makes the case that the threats we face are not future possibilities—they’re already here. Yet The Fix is not just a warning; it is a call to action. In the book’s final chapters, McQuade outlines common-sense reforms and strategies that can reclaim the rule of law and recenter democracy with the power of the people.

Accessible, eye-opening, and grounded in constitutional faith, The Fix is essential reading for everyone concerned about the future of America—and ready to work together to take a stand for it.
