    Welcome to this special edition of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show Podcast Ukraine at War. My guest this week is Franz Sedelmayer, once a close friend and business partner of Vladimir Putin, until the friendship and business relationship met with the reality of the economic jiu jitsu of the newly-elected President Boris Yeltsin and the political and economic ambitions of Putin, Sedelmayer's considerable assets soon expropriated by the new government. Sedelmayer went to war with Putin to retrieve what was his and won, waging a 20-year campaign against the Kremlin and Putin, ultimately winning more than 100 court cases and foreclosing on Russian state property in Western Europe, becoming, for the record, the only individual ever to collect money from Vladimir Putin's Russia. Franz knows Putin and understands Russia in ways others don't. The discussion you are about to hear is brutally frank and in parts disturbing, as reality often is. Joe President Biden, President Zelenskyy, Vladimir Putin, NATO, we scrutinize the performance of all the players. What have they done right? What have they done wrong? Where do we go from here.

You win some, you lose some. Question: Who is the better spinner, Democrats or Republicans? Is the glass half-empty or half-full? Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated former Democratic Governor McAuliff, but history shows that the party in power in Washington almost always loses the Virginia off-year elections. It's been 40 years since a Democrat one two consecutive terms in New Jersey. Governor Phil Murphy did. But on the theme of good news and bad news, the Covid-19 vaccination for children has been approved, but despite a growing vaccination rate in the U.S. and abroad, Covid-19 is on the rise in Europe. The House is expected to finally pass the Infrastructure Bill and the Build Back Better Plan. That's good news. The bad news: They didn't pass either prior to the election. There's more news on Donald Trump, on voting rights legislation, climate change, the Steele Dossier, the January 6 Committee… You win some, you lose some.

According to excerpts of an upcoming book from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender, then-President Donald Trump allegedly praised Adolf Hitler during a discussion with his White House chief of staff John Kelly in 2018 while on a trip to Paris to commemorate the armistice after World War I. "Well, Hitler did a lot of good things," Trump reportedly told Kelly, who was explaining to the 45th President who the allies and adversaries were in both World Wars, according to Bender. Bender also writes in the book that Trump was "undeterred" and persisted in his defense of the German dictator by claiming the country made economic gains under Hitler's leadership. You can't make this stuff up folks.But that's not all. Covid-19 infections are rising throughout the country. We look at the alarming increase in cases and wonder why so many aren't alarmed. Should vaccines be mandated to save us all? Joe Manchin remains on our radar as he continues to be in control of the American government. Should we be losing patience with President Joe Biden's failure to get inline with his party? According to a leaked video of Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), obstruction is the playbook for Republicans. Is that why Roy or anyone was sent to Congress -- to obstruct?” Majorie Taylor Greene invokes the Holocaust again. Why hasn't she been expelled from Congress? And is Elvis Presley Jewish?

A 15-count indictment says the Trump Organization and Weisselberg devised a scheme to compensate Weisselberg and other company executives in an “off the books” manner, in which they “received substantial portions of their income through indirect and disguised means.” A prosecutor in court said that the “the former CEO” of the Trump Organization — ex-President Trump — “signed, himself, many of the illegal compensation checks” to executives.

    Trump, Bibi, Gaetz, the Revolutionary War and cicadas -- that's just where we begin this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show when joining Halli is her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper, and New York Times bestselling author Patrick K. O'Donnell whose new book THE INDESPENSIBLES is already on bestseller lists nationwide.Everything changes and everything remains the same, well maybe. Trump is back in the news (did he ever go away?), insisting he'll be reinstated as President by August. It appears that the longest serving Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's 12-year run is coming to an end, but maybe not. Be careful when you count Bibi down and out. Rep. Matt Gaetz is possibly facing obstruction charges (will he ever be arrested?), Covid-19 is on the wane, jobs are coming back, and, oh, Halli has some advice on how to handle the Democrat's Joe Manchin problem. In our second half-hour, Halli talks with New York Times bestselling author, Patrick K. O'Donnell about his latest highly-touted book THE INDISPENSABLES. O'Donnell brings us a vivid account of an impressive Revolutionary War unit, a Massachusetts regimen, weaving a gripping narrative that captures the extraordinary story of fighting men of whom few Americans have ever heard but who nonetheless proved themselves “indispensable” to the cause of American liberty. And for the record, the similarities to the state of our burgeoning nation then, bear uncanny similarities to where we are today. Trump, Bibi, Gaetz, the Revolutionary War and cicadas, the January 6 Commission, anti-Semitism, Israel, Mike Flynn, infrastructure, bipartisanship, Joe Manchin, President Joe Biden…there's a lot to get to.

Liz Cheney, last week's Number One topic as the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians takes center stage yet again. Seventy-six years later, one of the longest-running arguments in world history remains unsolved. Rockets blare, bombs fall, people die and the Mideast Mess just gets messier and messier. American domestic politics doesn't help as the Democratic Party appears to be less and less a friend to Israel and more and more in the camp with the named terrorist organization, Hamas. Some say the current flare-up of the hostilities between Hamas and Israel is about personal power, some blaming Israel's longest serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his fight for his hold on power and Hamas, in a fight for its hold on Palestinian power over the Palestinian Authority. The issue is complex. Does anti-Semitism play a role? Could a Jewish state be formed today? There are a lot of questions about the Mideast Mess, Covid-19, the January 6 Commission, the Trump criminal prob, the state of the Republican Party… tune in.

    What to do about Trump's GOP? A serious question as America watches the “Republican” insurrectionists hijack what was once the Grand Old Party under the guidance of the Former Guy, the unlikely arch-Conservative from the stalwart Republican dynasty, daughter of the Former Vice President Dick Cheney, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) willing to put her political career on the line to save the soul of her party and some say democracy. Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast this week all about the threat to democracy the Democratic Party might not be taking seriously enough, if New York Times columnist Thomas Freidman is correct, a spirited conversation on the subject and more between Halli and her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper.In a frank piece in the New York Times and in an eye-opening exchange with Anderson Cooper on his nightly cable show A360 this week, Friedman warned that President Biden's successful handling of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the passing of his Stimulus Package seems to have lulled many into thinking that Donald Trump and his Big Lie that the election was stolen, which led to the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, would all go away. It hasn't. In fact, Friedman says, the opposite is happening. “We are not OK,” Freidman insists. “America's democracy is in real danger. In fact, we are closer to a political civil war — more than at any other time in our modern history.” You don't want to miss Halli and Matt's discussion. Do they agree? Do you? Can Rep.

Part of the answer to that question can be found in the powerful story of World War II told by David King in his book THE TRIAL OF ADOLF HITLER: THE BEER HALL PUTSCH AND THE RISE OF NAZI GERMANY, Halli's conversation with Mr. King, the subject of our second half-hour. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, sadly, is no anomaly in the Republican Party, now the home of Christian Nationalists, conspiracy believers, White Supremacists, anti-Semitics, and liars. It's easy and fair to blame former President Donald Trump for the demise of the once Grand Old Party, but he merely took advantage of the what has long been brewing in the party. While characters like Taylor Greene were once the few, they are now the many. How did this happen? Is the press doing a good job on reporting the reality? The U.S.A. is on dangerous footing when storming the Capitol, likened to Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch, an attempted coup by GOP believers, ginned up by then sitting President Donald Trump and the likes of Taylor Greene, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz is acceptable by half of the members of Congress. Answers lie in New York Times bestselling author David King's historical account, THE TRIAL OF ADOLF HITLER, THE BEER HALL PUTSCH AND THE RISE OF NAZI GERMANY. The story begins February 26, 1924 when ten defendants are gathered in a packed Munich courtroom to begin their trial for high treason. All ten were members or allies of the Nazi Party. Four months prior, they had attempted a coup at a rowdy meeting in a local beer hall, an event quickly dubbed “the Beer Hall Putsch” by the press. The coup failed, ending in a massacre of Nazis at the hands of the state police. The trial was widely expected to sound the death knell for the Nazi Party. Instead Hitler and the party emerged more driven, popular, and powerful than before, launching the Nazi Party on its way to national and international importance, solidifying the power and popularity of the trial's unlikely star defendant: the ‘everyman' hero, Adolf Hitler. Does January 6, 2021 come to mind? Sound familiar?Marjorie Taylor Greene, the GOP, Fascism, Q-Anon, Donald Trump, Adolf Hitler, The Beer Hall Putsch, history, Nazi Germany, Washington D.C., coups…is history repeating itself?

On this week's episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show it's a beautiful day in Joe Biden's neighborhood, the United States now officially under new management, gone is ‘you know who,' and we begin our four year stroll alongside President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. and Vice-President Kamala Harris. Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show Podcast, it's nice to have you here. As we do every week, newsman Matthew Cooper joins Halli for their weekly political review in which Matt and Halli slice and dice all things politics. And what a week it has been. Despite the scourge of the Covid19 pandemic, Washington, D.C. in shock after Trump's followers, at his incitement, stormed the Capitol, a city under military might, former Vice-President Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. And we have a new Vice-President, too, her name, Kamala Harris. The future for America is promising, right? Well, maybe not. After the other scourge that was the presidency of Donald Trump was officially brought to a close, the Republicans appear none the less chastened. Candidate Biden promised to unite the country, Republicans, despite the fact that their leader was impeached a second time for his role in the assault on the American Capitol and run out of town in shame, appear to want to continue to sow division, seemingly willing to do anything to stop President Biden's efforts at unification, enacting his agenda, taking control of the Covid19 Pandemic, bringing the country back to fiscal order. And what of the second trial of the former president? There's a lot to dissect. Here we go. Covid19, impeachment, President Biden, Vice-President Harris, what will be the fate of seditionists Senator Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, Trump's militia storming the Capitol, the future of the filibuster, which Republican will be the first to put country before party -- all on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show Podcast always available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com, on all your favorite apps, and on your Alexa device, too.

On this episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show: The Attorney General of New York, Letitia James hopes to do what no man before her could do and that is take out the NRA. Covid-19 cases continue to grow, 158,000 Americans dead and Trump tells us “It is what it is.” Election 2020 is almost here and a discussion on Biden's pick for his vice-president is where we begin. As we do every week, Halli and her partner in politics, veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper take a deep dive into the current political landscape in their weekly snap, crackle and pop conversation. And what a week it has been. Trump gave an interview to journalist Jonathan Swan of Axios, a conversation no one will soon forget. Dr. Birx, Trump's longtime Twirl Girl dared to disagree publicly with Trump this week and he hit back hard. No deal between the Democrats and Republicans on relief talks, and Speaker Pelosi is sticking to her hard line. Republicans are caught helping Kanye West in his bid for the presidency and just when you thought things couldn't get any lower, evangelical Leader Jerry Falwell, Jr. got caught with his pants down, literally. What a show we have for you!Covid-19, Kanye West, Election 2020, Congress, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Florida, Kamala Harris, Susan Rice, the end of the NRA?, the Axios interview.

    Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show. I am Halli Casser-Jayne. On this episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show: Is Trump losing it? And we don't mean only the election -- Covid-19, mail-in voting, Joe Biden's continued surge in the polls, Tucker Carlson, Ghislaine Maxwell and we're just beginning in our weekly take on all things politics. As we do every week, Halli and her partner in politics, veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper take a deep dive into the current political landscape in their weekly snap, crackle and pop conversation. And what a week it has been. We buried an American icon, Congressman John Lewis, and lost a little more of what has been great about America. Trump continued to be Trump, threatening the possibility of postponing the November 3 election. And Covid-19 continued to ravage the nation, taking the life of an anti-masker and Trump acolyte Herman Cain. The country continued to struggle with the idea of opening up its schools. And throw in a little Trump race-baiting and oh what a show we have for you!Covid-19, Election 2020, Congress, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Florida, Kamala Harris, Susan Rice, Michael Flynn…these stories and more this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, always available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com, on your favorite app, and on your Alexa device too.

    Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show. I am Halli Casser-Jayne. Covid-19, Federal troops in American cities some are calling Trump's Militia, Joe Biden ahead by 6 in Florida, and that's just the half of it. Because besides our weekly take on all things politics, in our second half-hour we're taking a trip to Alaska with the fun, spunky, astute author of OF BEARS AND BALLOTS: AN ALASKAN ADVENTURE IN SMALL-TOWN POLITICS, Heather Lende. As we do every week, Halli and her partner in politics, veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper take a deep dive into the current political landscape in their weekly snap, crackle and pop political conversation. And what a week it has been. Covid-19 is ravaging the United States and Donald Trump is back on the tube with his daily campaign events disguised as Covid-19 updates -- not much information there. Florida has become the epicenter of the pandemic, 120 plus people dying everyday while Governor DeSantis tells everyone how wonderful things are. Federal troops are being deployed to American cities against the wishes of those states leaders, and Democrats are “looking into it” and that's just where they begin. In our second half-hour, if you don't know New York Times bestselling author Heather Lende, you're in for a treat. Smart, funny, and a force to be reckoned with the girl from New York who moved to Alaska in her early twenties, and took the state by storm is back with a new book OF BEARS AND BALLOTS: AN ALASKAN ADVENTURE IN SMALL-TOWN POLITICS that tells the story of her mis-adventure into local politics. There are some lessons for us all in this story. Sarah Palin and Senator Lisa Murkowski each make an appearance. Tune in. Covid-19, Election 2020, Congress, Joe Biden, Donald Trump's Dystopia, Portland, Chicago, Alaska, Israel, Florida, local politics…these stories and more this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, always available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com, on your favorite app, and on your Alexa device too.
