Terry Moran: Patriotism, Power, and a Perilous Moment
Terry Moran: Patriotism, Power, and a Perilous Moment  
Podcast: To The Contrary with Charlie Sykes
Published On: Sun Nov 23 2025
Description: Charlie Sykes and journalist Terry Moran examine a week that showcased two starkly different Americas—from Dick Cheney’s solemn, apolitical funeral to the president’s public calls for executing political opponents. They discuss the escalating authoritarian rhetoric, the Ukraine “surrender plan,” the White House’s embrace of MBS, and the alarming signals around a possible conflict with Venezuela. Moran argues that beneath Trump’s projection of confidence lies a democracy under strain, institutions under pressure, and a country struggling to remember what normal governance looks like.
