Origins of the Imperial Presidency w/ David Sirota | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
As millions of Americans protest Donald Trump under the slogan of “No Kings,” it is
worth asking how the nation ended up with such an authoritarian president. David Sirota
and the team at The Lever have provided a great answer to this question in their new
podcast seriesMaster Plan: The Kingmakers, which looks at the revival of the Imperial
Presidency after the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s. I talked to David about the
history uncovered in this podcast and why Trump is merely a symptom of a much
deeper problem.

Writing in Foreign Policy, Matt Duss argues that Donald Trump’s rush to war is both stupid and illegal. It is also wildly unpopular with the public. But he also observes that Congress has been reluctant to challenge Trump’s policy, although some progressives have now forced the issue to a vote. Matt is a frequent guest of the show and foreign policy expert. I talked to him about the dangers of a new war and also the larger systematic problems of the imperial presidency.
