To the Contrary With Charlie Sykes - We Are Experiencing a Constitutional "Crash"

Sep 9, 2025
A warning from Garrett Graff
On today’s “To the Contrary Podcast,” I’m joined by historian and journalist Garrett Graff to examine his recent warning that America has entered a dangerous slide toward authoritarianism. From federal occupations of U.S. cities and extrajudicial killings abroad, to the intimidation of business leaders and the hollowing out of Congress, Graff argues the guardrails of democracy are collapsing.

I only know him from The Bulwark and this most recent podcast. I sometimes don't agree with him, but he seems to be a MOL reasonable person.
