My conversation with Steven Beschloss examines how the crisis facing American democracy is also a failure of journalism and institutions to name reality. We discuss how corporate media has protected power, hollowed out local reporting, and normalized authoritarian behavior, while independent and local journalists step in to fill the gap. We also look at the global consequences of democratic decline, including Donald’s performance at World Economic Forum in Davos, the unraveling of the post–World War II order, and why voices like Mark Carney matter right now. Finally, we talk about what real resistance looks like and why this moment is both dangerous and a call to action.

My conversation with Sarah Ewall-Wice of The Daily Beast about why the real danger isn’t just Donald, but the institutions that have failed to restrain him. We look at his unraveling on the world stage, growing pushback against appeasement, and the family-and-money machinery behind his rise now colliding with cognitive decline and unchecked power. As Donald treats the presidency as a profit center and governance as a transaction, the damage spreads at home and abroad, raising the question of what happens when no one stops him.

As the fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis intensifies, the Trump administration moves into damage-control mode. This episode examines a closed-door Oval Office meeting with Kristi Noem, the removal of Gregory Bovino, and the decision to bring in Tom Homan, raising questions about whether anything has actually changed. Mary looks at the administration’s shifting narratives, the growing pushback from Minnesota leaders, calls for independent investigations, and the broader implications for federal authority, voter protections, and public trust as tensions continue to rise.

Donald Trump’s fixation on loyalty over competence is reshaping key institutions at home and abroad. As pressure mounts on the FBI, trust frays within NATO, and ICE’s domestic operations generate fear rather than security, the consequences are becoming harder to ignore. This episode examines how the erosion of institutional norms, alliances, and public trust ultimately leaves Americans less safe and why the long-term damage may outlast any single policy or presidency.
