  • On Tyranny, Orbán, and Trump (with Timothy Snyder)

    On Tyranny, Orbán, and Trump (with Timothy Snyder)
    Apr 16 2026
    Historian Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny and On Freedom, joins Preet Bharara to break down Viktor Orbán's election loss in Hungary and what it means for Trump, MAGA, and the future of American democracy. Snyder also explains what Hungarian politician Péter Magyar's victory reveals about beating authoritarians at the ballot box, why "democracy" alone doesn't rally voters, and why his most urgent lesson from On Tyranny — do not obey in advance — has never been more relevant. Then, Preet answers listener questions. He explains whether the president has to comply with the law requiring him to preserve official records and whether it’s now legal to distill liquor at home. In the bonus for Insiders, Preet breaks down his experience working to reform one of New York City’s most notorious prisons: Rikers Island.
