Apr 1500:57:12Tap to summarize"Trump is not really fighting with Pope Leo. He's fighting a proxy battle with God." — Historian Timothy Snyder wrote the book "On Tyranny."

Transcribe →Tax the Greedy Billionaires
Apr 800:44:18Tap to summarize"The goal of so many billionaires is to extract as much value as possible… to enrich themselves… and leave the rest of us worse off." — Igor Volsky of Tax the Greedy Billionaires, says it's time for the rich to start paying their fair share. The wealthiest 1% of Americans are sitting on $40 trillion dollars. That's about three times the federal budget. Volsky says they're using that money to buy elections, rig the economy in their favor, and move money from your pockets into theirs. This may be why 77% of Americans, across the political spectrum, now support raising taxes on the super rich. In this conversation, Volsky lays out how that could happen, and how all of our lives could be better if our tax system was fairer. #uspolitics #democracy #tax #billionaire #trump #midterms2026 #2026election ——— Subscribe to my newsletter for more analysis, context and reporting: ➔ https://terrymoran.substack.com/ Every Episode of Real Patriotism with Terry Moran: ➔ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtNGxtNFPwQFBEsxcLjir_h8elD30OuV- Stay connected with Terry Moran: ➔ Substack: https://terrymoran.substack.com/ ➔ X (Twitter): https://x.com/TerryMoran ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terrymoranjournalist/ Partnership & Sponsorship Inquiries: ➔ sarah@collective.media Real Patriotism is veteran news journalist Terry Moran's home for clear-eyed reporting on American democracy and power in our time.

Transcribe →Trump Betrayed the Working Class. Can Dems Do Better?
Apr 100:29:05Tap to summarize"The promise of the American Dream… is gone, and I don't like anybody." — Trump is now more unpopular than any president at this point in his term in the history of polling. But Democrats aren't popular either. Working-class voters described Dems as "woke, weak, and out-of-touch" in a study spearheaded by former New Orleans mayor and Biden official, Mitch Landrieu. Workers say both parties have failed them. Landrieu says it's time for Dem to deliver and earn back their role as the Party of the Working Class. #democracy #trump #uspolitics #democrats #midterms2026 #2026election ——— Subscribe to my newsletter for more analysis, context and reporting: ➔ https://terrymoran.substack.com/ Every Episode of Real Patriotism with Terry Moran: ➔ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtNGxtNFPwQFBEsxcLjir_h8elD30OuV- Stay connected with Terry Moran: ➔ Substack: https://terrymoran.substack.com/ ➔ X (Twitter): https://x.com/TerryMoran ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terrymoranjournalist/ Partnership & Sponsorship Inquiries: ➔ sarah@collective.media Real Patriotism is veteran news journalist Terry Moran's home for clear-eyed reporting on American democracy and power in our time.

Transcribe →Why People Who Never Protested Are Showing Up
Mar 3000:04:09Tap to summarizeAt protests across the country, something feels different. In this report from the “No Kings” demonstrations, Terry Moran speaks with protesters who say they’ve never taken to the streets before — but felt compelled to now. What emerges is a picture not just of anger, but of something more complicated: hope, solidarity, and a sense that participation itself is changing. From Washington, D.C. to cities across the U.S., this movement appears less centrally organized and more organic, with individuals finding each other and raising their voices together. The question is whether this energy lasts — and what it means for the future of American politics. 00:00 “People power” — the mood on the ground 00:29 A different atmosphere this time 00:55 Why people are showing up 01:22 A first-time protester speaks 01:50 Feeling helpless vs coming together 02:22 A decentralized movement 02:50 Protests spreading nationwide 03:08 “Something happened here” 03:30 Protest as “medicine” 03:44 Is this leading to change? #protests #politics #democracy #news #unitedstates Subscribe to my newsletter for more analysis, context and reporting: https://terrymoran.substack.com/ Real Patriotism is veteran news journalist Terry Moran's home for clear-eyed reporting on American democracy and power in our time.

Transcribe →The Link Between the Iran War, the Epstein Files, & Trump’s Ballooning Bank Account
Mar 2500:39:17Tap to summarize"There is a story line of corruption here." — Trump's broken promises not to start any wars, to release the Epstein files, and to lower prices all have a common thread, says Tara McGowan, founder of the independent news outlet, COURIER. "It is about how much money or resources can the president, his family, and his allies extract." Tara joins Terry Moran to discuss how Trump is exploiting his Iran war to enrich himself and consolidate power, why Democrats are failing, and how independent media outlets like COURIER and Real Patriotism can save democracy. #democracy #trump #uspolitics #midterms2026 #2026election #iran #epsteinfiles
