To The Contrary with Charlie Sykes

America Gave Up on Its Own History

June 16, 2026·47 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Yoni Appelbaum, historian and deputy executive editor at The Atlantic, joins Charlie to go over what we know — and don't know — about the deal with Iran and what it all means for US interests in the region. They also discuss Appelbaum's latest article, in which he argues that the US has lost the ability to agree on a shared national story and, as a result, has largely stopped trying to tell one — in schools, universities, and public life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
