Everyone Gets A Pardon! Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

The Guardian reported "Trump reportedly says he'll issue mass pardons at end of his presidential term." This signals that Trump will be running his executive branch as a criminal enterprise , a lawless organization, a corrupt cabal of crooks. And then, at the end of his presidential term, he will pardon those who commit crimes in service to him.

The Epstein Files Come ROARING Back! Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

First, Donald Trump tells us 'enough with the Epstein files, the country needs to move on. Then, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says, the Department of Justice is done talking about the Epstein files.

But talk about a surprising plot twist! Melania Trump dramatically steps to a White House podium and says not so fast, let's get congressional hearings back on track. And just like that, the Epstein files come roaring back!

AG Todd Blanche: If Trump Fired Me, I Would Say, "I Love You, Sir!" Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

In the event you thought Donald Trump's flunkies couldn't possibly get any flunkier, that his lapdogs couldn't be any more subservient, did you hear what Donald Trump's new acting Attorney General and former criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, said in service to his dear leader?

Blanche said basically, if Donald Trump fired him as acting Attorney General, he would say, "thank you very much, I love you, sir!"

Dictators rise to power because weak, pathetic men bend the knee to dear leader rather than standing up for what's right.

Trump's Dirty DOJ Prepares To Fail ... AGAIN! Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

So, Donald Trump fired Pam Bondi as Attorney General and according to new reporting by the New York Times, it looks like, on her way out the door, Pam Bondi took one last shot at prosecuting the innocent, going after yet another one of Donald Trump's perceived enemies. Cassidy Hutchinson, the brave young woman who testified before the January 6 House select committee investigating Trump's Capitol attack. In what looks like a desperate (and ultimately failed) attempt to keep her job, Pam Bondi opened a revenge-fueled, vindictive investigation into Ms. Hutchinson with yet another trumped-up allegation of lying to Congress.

With all her unethical conduct in service to dear leader, Pam Bondi has richly earned membership in the "Donald Trump Disbarred Lawyers Club.

Supreme Court Delivers INJUSTICE! Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

The corruption at the Department of Justice continues unabated as Donald Trump's friends and criminal associates continue to be rewarded for their crimes.

Steve Bannon refused to comply with congressional subpoenas in an attempt to keep from testifying about Trump's January 6 crimes. Bannon was indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for the crimes he committed.

Then, Trump's hack U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, filed a motion to dismiss Bannon's case with no analysis or explanation. The Supreme Court just paved the way for Bannon's conviction to be thrown out.

Glenn discusses the searing injustice of this development.

Donald Trump's Vanity Ballroom Bullsh*t! Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

It's starting to look like Donald Trump's hack DOJ lawyers may be running court filings by their boss. No, not the temporary attorney general - Donald Trump himself.

And what's worse, it's also beginning to look like Donnie may be picking up his beloved sharpie and making some edits or additions to those court filings before they are submitted to the judge.

Glenn takes a look at one of those court filings, specifically the one involving Donald Trump's ballroom vanity project.

Trump Votes by Mail and then Tells Us We CAN'T Vote by Mail! Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

Talk about "do as I say not as I do" Trump votes by mail and then signs an executive order restricting others from voting by mail.

As is often the case, Trump's executive order is blatantly unconstitutional, and will quickly be struck down by the courts.

Glenn speaks with Skye Perryman, CEO and President of Democracy Forward, to discuss this and other legal developments.

Bondi Fired: Next Up . . . Disbarment! Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Now that Pam Bondi has been fired and she's no longer Attorney General, it actually frees her up in one really important way.

Bondi is licensed to practice law in the state of Florida; but the Florida state bar has a rule: it won't conduct ethics investigations of attorneys who are serving in presidentially-appointed positions. Accordingly, the Florida Bar previously has refused to act on the multiple ethics complaints filed against Bondi while she was attorney general.

However, given that Pam Bondi is no longer serving in a presidentially- appointed position . . . it's game on!

New, beefed-up ethics complaints are being prepared and it's time for the Florida state bar to act to hold Bondi accountable.

Trump to Pam Bondi: "YOU'RE FIRED!" Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

Pam Bondi did all of Donald Trump's lawless, unconstitutional, and unethical bidding. She tried to prosecute Trump's perceived enemies, she violated federal law by refusing to publicly release all of the Epstein files, she weaponized and misused the power of the Department of Justice in all ways large and small in service to dear leader.

But clearly it wasn't enough.

Trump just introduce Bondi to the undercarriage of a bus, firing her after little more than a year as his attorney general/consigliere.

E Street Band Bass, Book & New Springsteen Tour! Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

As you may know, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are opening their new US tour today: the Land of Hope and Dreams tour.

Bruce describes the tour as follows: "The tour will be a celebration and defense of the US Constitution, freedom, and the sacred American dream, which is under attack."

In celebration of opening day of the tour, I want to share this on the podcast. I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the original and longest members of the E Street Band, Garry W. Tallent - the bass player and OG of the E Street Band. I talked with Garry about this history with Bruce and the band, and about the upcoming tour.

Along with Garry, I had the incredible good fortune to interview photojournalist extraordinaire Nicki Germaine. Back in 1974. Nicki had the amazing opportunity to document, in photographs, the now-legendary Liberty Hall shows, right before the album Born to Run hit.

Those photos remained buried for nearly 50 years - until now. Nicki has published a remarkable book, "Bruce Springsteen - Liberty Hall." And friends, let me tell you - it is a treasure!

But don't take my word for it. Let me quote E Street drummer, the mighty Max Weinberg, who said, "From the first picture, I felt like I was breaking into Tutankhamen's tomb and finding the treasure."

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed interviewing Garry and Nicki.
