  • “Not anything any of us ever expected to see in America"
    Feb 17 2025

    Trump continued to bend the political system to his will, but the courts and his own Dept of Justice pushed back. Alisyn Camerota, Norm Ornstein, & Jacob Weisberg join Harry to assess Trump’s checkered week. A series of federal courts temporarily froze some of Trump’s more brazen power grabs, and a cascade of DOJ prosecutors resigned rather than comply with a lawless order to dismiss well-supported charges. But Trump was able to push through cabinet nominees whose prospects had been in doubt.

  • THURSDAY NIGHT MASSACRE AT THE DOJ
    Feb 14 2025

    Harry talks to Kristy Greenberg, former Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division in the Southern District of New York, about the burgeoning scandal involving the resignation of the acting United States Attorney and multiple other officials in her office and at Main Justice. The resignations all come in response to an improper command by the acting deputy Attorney General, Emile Bove, to dismiss charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, notwithstanding that there is no question about the righteousness – i.e. the solid facts and law –that undergird the prosecution. Through Greenberg’s experience in the Southern District and Harry’s at Main Justice, they are able to piece together what has happened behind the scenes to date and what may transpire in the future, and all of it pits Bove, Bondi and Trump on the wrong side of the rule of law and Sassoon and Company on the right side. This is not going away.

  • Talking San Diego presents Chris Hayes With His #1 Bestselling Book, “The Sirens’ Call”
    Feb 13 2025

    In the latest conversation in the Talking San Diego series, Harry sits down with Chris Hayes before a live San Diego audience on the evening when Hayes’s new book, “The Sirens’ Call,” was named to the top position on the New York Times’s Bestseller List. Hayes’s focus is attention – how it has become our scarcest resource and the constant bombardment from different forces vying for it and leaving us all a little insane. Be sure to catch the “lightning round” towards the end of the discussion when Harry serves up a rapid-fire series of lighter-side personal questions

Audible please advertise this podcast on the Fentanyl public health crisis

Fentanyl is the #1 killer of Americans between 18 & 45 years of age. This podcast focuses on the root cause of the problem, potential solutions & how the DEA plans to destroy the chains supplying Fentanyl precursors & networks that distribute this killer. Audible targets advertisements on books of interest to me & I would like to see Audible do the same for this podcast as a public health issue relevant to American society.

I Love Listening to Talking Feds!

I'm a want to be nerd but I'll probably never get the chance to go to college. I love listening to podcasts like this because the legal system is very interesting and very important to a justice society. I say thank goodness for smart people! It's fascinating to listen to great legal minds discuss legal cases because they present so much detailed information throughout their conversations.
