Trump's Attempt to Whitewash the Jan. 6 Capitol Attack HE Orchestrated & Ordered WILL FAIL! Dec 24, 2025

Show notes

When it comes to January 6, 2021, we see what Donald Trump is trying to do. He's trying to whitewash it, he's trying to rewrite history, he's trying to turn a day of what we all saw was democracy-busting violence and hate into "a day of love."

The good news is, Trump can't get away with it. Why? Because there are great journalists, authors, and historians who have documented or are documenting exactly what January 6 was really all about. One of those authors is Nora Neus. Nora has authored a great new book that's about to be published called, "24 Hours At The Capitol: An Oral History of the January 6 Insurrection."

Glenn sat down with Nora for an extended conversation about her important new book.

Trump's DOJ is Disintegrating: DC Judges Dismiss a STAGGERING 21% of Cases Brought by Jeanine Pirro Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

In shocking new reporting by Reuters: "Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department."

As Reuters further reported, "a federal magistrate judge said the errors were part of a broader pattern of unprecedented prosecutorial missteps, resulting in a 21% dismissal rate of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office criminal complaints over eight weeks compared to a mere 0.5% dismissal rate over 10 years."

Glenn presents an inside perspective from someone who worked at the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office for decades as to how things are supposed to work, and how this horrific dismissal rate is attributable to a lack of leadership from Trump-appointed US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Jack Smith Testifies that He had Enough Evidence to Prove Trump Guilty Beyond a Reasonable Doubt Dec 19, 2025

Show notes

Jack Smith has testified to Congress. He wanted to testify publicly but Rep. Jim Jordan was afraid that the the testimony would make Trump look bad, so the Republican denied Smith's request to testify publicly.

After the testimony, Rep Jamie Raskin said Jordan "made an excellent decision in not allowing Jack Smith to testify publicly, because had he done so, it would have been absolutely devastating to the president and all the president's men involved in the insurrectionary activities of January 6." Glenn discusses the implications of Smith's testimony.

Trump's Grotesque & Indecent Attacks on the Late Rob Reiner PROVE He's UNFIT for Office! Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

I had the incredible good fortune of getting to know Rob Reiner in recent years. I even had the wonderful - and somewhat surreal - experience of appearing on stage with Rob in Los Angeles.

The first part of this podcast is dedicated to my remembrance of Rob.

The second part takes on the insanely indecent and offensive, not to mention false, attacks Trump made against Rob and Michele Reiner shortly after they were murdered.

Trump's unfitness for office is as clear as it is necessary for the health and well being of the body politic, and American people, and the continued viability of our democracy.

Kash Patel Gets It Wrong In Yet ANOTHER High Profile Shooting Incident Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

No one can ever accuse FBI Director Kash Patel of learning from his mistakes. He got it wrong during the Charlie Kirk shooting investigation when he announced that the shooter was in custody, only to have to backtrack later when it was learned that the FBI had the wrong guy.

And now Kash has gone and done it again. He just made the exact same mistake by announcing that the FBI had apprehended the suspect in the Brown University shooting, and yet again, it turns out the FBI had the wrong guy.

Glenn discusses the many problems attendant to Kash Patel getting it wrong in such a public way. He explains how this kind of blunder will actually provide the real shooter with what's called a third-party perpetrator defense at trial.

Trump's DOJ Tries AND FAILS for a 3rd Time to Successfully Prosecute Letitia James Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

We've all heard the saying "three strikes and you're out." Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Lindsey Halligan have now struck out three times trying to prosecute New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

The first indictment that Lindsey Halligan unlawfully obtained against James was dismissed by a federal judge.

The second time involved another prosecutor who went into the grand jury and tried to convince them to indict James. The grand jury concluded there was not sufficient evidence to indict her, and refused to do so.

Undeterred, DOJ tried to indict James again, and yet again the grand jury said no.

This is an example of the American people - the members of the grand jury - standing up to the prosecutorial overreach, abuse, and misconduct of Trump, Bondi, and Halligan.

Glenn also discusses the prosecutor from Missouri that the DOJ has now sent into the grand jury TWICE to fail.

Kristi Noem's Lies Exposed and Documented Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noam looked into the cameras as said. "There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that should be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

That is an outright lie.

As but one example, 25-year-old Army veteran George Retes was ARRESTED AND DETAINED, unlawfully and unconstitutionally, a fact that was documented on video.

A great pro-democracy, nonprofit organization, Home of the Brave, has release a powerful video exposing and documenting what George Retes suffered at the hands of a lawless Trump administration.

One of the most important ways to combat the unconstitutional conduct of Trump and company is to stand up, speak out, and document how Trump's lawless policies are hurting We the People. And that is precisely what Home of the Brave is doing.

Glenn sat down with Home of the Brave's Sarah Matthew to discuss the organization's mission. Sarah served as White House Deputy Press Secretary in the first Trump administration but resigned after the Trump-inspired attack on the United States Capitol, and ever since, she has been a vocal critic of Trump.

Trump & Hegseth are Putting Troops in Difficult/Dangerous Circumstances - the Orders Project Can Help Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

Members of the military have a duty to obey lawful orders but must not obey patently unlawful orders. Given the administration's unlawful, deadly strikes in international waters, our troops are being put in difficult and dangerous circumstances by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

The National Institute of Military Justice has created The Orders Project to provide real-time, informed advice for military members who are trying to lawfully navigate the difficult situation in which they are being put.

Glenn spoke with Treb Courie, Legal Director for The Orders Project, about the services available to our military members.
