President Donald Trump's countless executive orders and mounting deportations are testing America's democratic institutions. On this week's On the Media, what we can learn from Hungary's recent backslide into autocracy. Plus, why resistance movements throughout history have succeeded with 3.5 percent of the population, or less, behind them.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Andrew Marantz, a staff writer at The New Yorker, about his recent piece, “Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?” and what we can learn from Hungary's recent backsliding into authoritarianism. [15:44] Micah speaks with Márton Gulyás, founder of Partizán, Hungary's leading independent news show, about what lessons journalists in the US might take away from his experience.[37:20] Micah sits down with Maria J. Stephan, political scientist and co-author of Why Civil Resistance Works, to dissect the 3.5% rule, a statistic that's been making its rounds on social media, which is a measurement of the power of collective action. Stephan and her co-researcher Erica Chenoweth first coined the term in 2010. Further reading:“Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?” by Andrew Marantz“Big Tents and Collective Action Can Defeat Authoritarianism,” by Maria J.

We break down the July CPI numbers and how Trump's tariffs haven't seemed to be affecting inflation by any strong degree. We tackle President Trump's controversial federalization of D.C. police, sold as a crime crackdown. Democrats say there is a 26% drop in crime in 2025, but are those numbers rigged? Under-reporting and FBI data revisions, like the 2022 violent crime spike, hide the true crime picture. Plus, we dive into allegations of Rep. Adam Schiff leaking classified documents to hurt President Trump.

In this episode, Hawk discusses Ghislaine Maxwell's convictions, the disturbing details of her trial, and Donald Trump's consideration of granting her a pardon. Hawk focuses on the DOJ's controversial memo stating there is no Epstein client list and that the case will not be further investigated, sparking bipartisan outrage.The episode examines Maxwell's 2021 Manhattan Federal Court trial, where she was found guilty of multiple counts of conspiracy and sex trafficking of minors, some as young as 14. Hawk goes through the testimony of the four victims who came forward, revealing chilling accounts of recruitment, grooming, and abuse carried out by Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein over a decade.Hawk also looks at the unusual prison transfer Maxwell received after meeting with Trump's former defense attorney, Todd Blanch, and the implications of high-level White House meetings discussing her case. The conversation explores the redacted Epstein files, questions about Epstein's death, and how political power and legal maneuvering are shaping the public narrative.This episode highlights the intersection of politics, justice, and the protection of victims, raising questions about government accountability, DOJ independence, and the real motives behind Trump's possible pardon of a convicted child sex trafficker.

In this episode, Jeff returns after a few weeks off — and explains how one press conference in Chicago spiraled into a fabricated international incident with the Mexican government. Representing Ovidio Guzmán (El Chapo's son) became less about legal defense and more about being scapegoated by terrified politicians. In the end, free speech and the truth will always shine through. And the Mexican people?  Jeff notes that his respect for them has grown exponentially.Also covered: Hamas' newest PR strategy — letting Gaza starve while hoarding food in tunnels and filming propaganda videos of emaciated kids (whose fat parents are somehow not starving). The lies grow louder, the propaganda slicker, and yet Western liberal and far-right Jew haters just can't stop blaming Israel and taking it out on Jews. All while the next mayor of NYC will be a Hamas cheerleader who wants government-owned supermarkets and to arrest the Prime Minster of Israel. The downward spiral that began in 2008 nears completion.And finally, Jeff goes full collector mode: a breakdown of the baseball card National Show in Chicago.

It's been a banner stretch for President Trump: a major strike on Iran's nuclear sites, a sprawling tax-and-spending bill pushed through Congress, and a growing foreign policy resume. But beneath the surface of all the flag-waving and victory laps, Democrats like Senator Mark Warner are warning that the real story is unfolding in the shadows—inside an increasingly politicized US intelligence community.In this episode of the GZERO World podcast, Ian sits down with the senior Senator from Virginia at his Capitol Hill office for a wide-ranging conversation about what's breaking inside America's national security institutions—and what that means for foreign policy decisions from Tehran to Gaza. Warner doesn't hold back: “We're in uncharted, dangerous territory. [Intelligence] Analysts are being told to change their conclusions—or lose their jobs.”The two also dive into the fallout from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, the fragile push for a Gaza ceasefire, and why Warner sees a largely ignored civil war in Sudan as one of the world's worst ongoing humanitarian crises—and a rare opportunity for the US to lead.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
