20:27Now PlayingMolly Jong-Fast speaks with journalist Jim Acosta about the shifting landscape of American media, the deterioration of democratic norms under Donald Trump, and the consequences of unchecked power. They explore how traditional news channels have lost relevance as more people turn to independent sources, a reflection of public distrust in legacy institutions. The discussion touches on Trump’s disregard for constitutional limits, including his baseless claims of authority and alarming use of the National Guard in U.S. cities. Acosta and Jong-Fast also delve into the implications of Trump’s obsession with image—such as altering the White House grounds—and his ongoing entanglement with controversies like the Epstein files. They express concern over the Republican Party’s continued enablement, the erosion of accountability, and the global ramifications of Trump’s behavior. The episode underscores the urgency of focusing not on empty fact-checking but on the broader threats to democratic governance.
