From masked federal agents arresting children, to the use of the Justice Department to punish enemies, to threats to silence media outlets, to talk of President Trump seeking a third term in office, signs abound of authoritarianism replacing American democracy.  Perhaps even more disturbing is that a sizeable portion of the electorate wants it that way.  How did we get here?  Author Katherine Stewart attempts to answer that question in her new book, “Money, Lies and God, Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy,” out now from Bloomsbury Press.  Katherine Stewart joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on October 27, 2025.
