This episode looks at the life and legacy of Dick Cheney, the most powerful U.S. vice president of modern times. Using John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” and Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as guides, it explores how Cheney believed that in times of crisis, power must be strong—even if moral limits are stretched. The episode explains how his actions after 9/11 expanded presidential authority, how those powers outlived the emergency, and how, in his final years, Cheney surprised many by defending democracy against Donald Trump. The piece asks a simple moral question: should leaders seek to reign in crisis or serve the law that restrains them?
