Katie Couric: Dolls, Alcatraz, and Narcissism

All Episodes

May 8, 2025 • 61 mins

Katie Couric joins Charlie Sykes to unpack the psychological underpinnings of Donald Trump’s political appeal and the enablers around him. They explore the disconnect between populist rhetoric and billionaire influence, the crumbling state of local journalism, and why media coverage struggles to keep up with an administration governed by chaos. With stories of real-world consequences, they examine whether dignity, truth, or economic pain can still break through the political cult of personality.
