  • REGIME CHANGE: Katie’s One-on-One with Maggie Haberman

    REGIME CHANGE: Katie’s One-on-One with Maggie Haberman
    Jun 27 2026
    Journalist Maggie Haberman has spent decades covering Donald Trump, from his days as a New York real estate developer to his return to the White House for a second term. Now, she and her fellow New York Times reporter Jonathan Swan have written Regime Change, an inside account of the first 14 months of Trump's second presidency based on more than 1,000 interviews and extensive behind-the-scenes reporting. In this wide-ranging conversation with Katie, Haberman argues that this presidency is fundamentally different from Trump's first. The advisers who once tried to constrain his impulses have largely been replaced by people who share his worldview and trust his instincts, paving the way for an administration marked by unprecedented corruption, sweeping assertions of executive power, and a fundamental redefinition of the presidency itself.

    America at 250: Historian Heather Cox Richardson on Democracy, History, and the American Experiment
    Jun 25 2026

    As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the country is grappling with fundamental questions about power, democracy, and national identity. So who better to help make sense of this moment than historian and bestselling author Heather Cox Richardson?


    Katie sits down with the writer behind Letters from an American for a wide-ranging conversation about how Washington, D.C. is being reshaped in Donald Trump's image, the legal theory underpinning efforts to expand presidential power, and why some scholars see echoes of controversial political ideas from the past. They also discuss the rise of Christian nationalism, whether Democrats have found a compelling message, and Heather's new series, 250 to 250, which explores the people, places, and ideals that define America.


    Part history lesson, part civic conversation, and part therapy session for anxious Americans, this episode explores how we got here, where we may be headed, and what reasons for hope still remain. As always, Heather brings context, clarity, and perspective to a moment that feels anything but normal.

    Katie’s One-on-One with Rahm Emanuel
    Jun 2 2026
    Rahm Emanuel has been one of the most influential figures in Democratic politics for decades. He’s served as a congressman, White House chief of staff under President Obama, mayor of Chicago, and most recently, U.S. ambassador to Japan.
