The Power of the People When America’s Elites Are Absent

Season 2025 Episode 8004 | 17m 39s

YouTube has agreed to pay President Trump $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit over the video platform's suspension of his account in the wake of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. It's the latest in a long line of U.S. companies' settlements with the administration. Adam Serwer, a staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Michel Martin to discuss the cost of these moves to American democracy.
