Trump Admin Aims to Undermine Government Integrity

As Paramount Skydance and Jared Kushner pursue a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery, with the enthusiastic support of US President Donald Trump, François Picard is pleased to welcome Vincent Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights. Our guest offers a very sobering look at a 250-year-old democracy in crisis, amid multiple Constitutional crises - where America's laws and institutions are no longer deemed relevant. Mr. Warren takes us to the crossroads of authoritarianism, constitutional law, neoliberalism, media consolidation, and a free press in free fall. Mr. Warren argues that media mergers are not merely commercial transactions, particularly in an era when a sitting president seeks to tear down long-standing institutions and redefine media's place in business, politics and society. Is it now up to civil society, state governments, and lower courts to serve as America's last-remaining guardrails to protect the country from a federal system and Supreme Court increasingly complicit in fostering an emperor-style executive devoid of the Republic the Founding Fathers envisioned?
