As Donald Trump breaks the limits of the presidency, will the Supreme Court stand up to him or let him run wild? Law Professor Kate Shaw joins Terry Moran to discuss how the court created an imperial presidency and whether ICE violence, attacks on the First Amendment, the investigation of Jerome Powell, or even plans to annex Greenland will be enough to make them rein Trump in.

In the first week of 2026, Terry Moran sits down with his wife Johanna for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about what the year ahead may bring.

They talk through the shock of Venezuela, the erosion of congressional power, the rise of strongman politics, and the quiet resilience of everyday American life. From midterm elections and executive overreach to parenting, community, and why politics hasn’t completely poisoned neighborly relationships, this episode blends hard analysis with lived experience.

A thoughtful, personal way to start a turbulent year — and a reminder that most Americans are still normal.
