The Truth Report with Chauncey DeVega

This is special joint episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show and The Truth Report. Dr. Mary Trump is a clinical psychologist and businesswoman. She is also Donald Trump's niece. Mary Trump is the author of the books Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man and The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal. Mary Trump's new book is Who Could Ever Love You: A Family Memoir. Mary Trump is a friend of the podcast and is always so generous with her teaching and sharing. She reflects on the state of our individual and collective mental and emotional health over these last 8 or so weeks, and the importance of balancing joy and hope about Kamala Harris with the reality that there is so much hard work to be done until (and after) Election Day. Mary Trump also discusses the personal cost of being a real member of the Resistance and the pro-democracy movement to our relationships and lives. In this expansive conversation, Mary shares her thoughts about why we must imagine a world beyond the Age of Trump and then do everything we can to make it a reality.   Chauncey DeVega provides “proof of life” and shares how he was under attack by the super DNC cooties bug and how that left him discombobulated and delayed the podcast. Chauncey also shares some quick thoughts about the first debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and how the mainstream news media continues the “sanewashing” of the obviously very dangerous aspiring Dictator Trump. And Chauncey DeVega honors the titan James Earl Jones who passed away on Monday and is now one with the Force. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Last Thursday, Donald Trump was found “guilty” in his New York hush-money and election interference trial. He is now the first former or sitting president to be convicted of a felony. Given these historic events, I am sharing my conversation with Glenn Kirschner here on The Truth Report about Trump's trial(s) and the extreme danger(s) he continues to pose to the country and its democracy. My conversation with Glenn Kirschner was recorded several weeks ago. **** Glenn Kirschner is an NBC News/MSNBC on-air legal analyst and teaches criminal justice at George Washington University. He has a YouTube channel and Podcast, “Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner.” Kirschner is also a former federal prosecutor with 30 years of trial experience. He served in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia for 24 years, rising to the position of Chief of the Homicide Section. In that capacity, Kirschner supervised 30 homicide prosecutors and oversaw all homicide grand jury investigations and prosecutions in Washington, DC. He explains why and how Donald Trump (and his confederates) have been able to evade serious accountability for their public crime spree against American democracy and society, including the Jan. 6 coup attempt and lethal terrorist attack on the Capitol. Kirschner cautions that contrary to the mainstream media's narrative that the “walls are closing in” on Donald Trump given his multiple criminal and civil trials where he may face hundreds of years in prison and hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and judgements, the reality of the situation is much more perilous and uncertain. He warns that Donald Trump and the Republican fascists and the larger “conservative” movement are trying to kill American democracy and will not stop until they achieve their goal of unlimited power and putting Dictator Trump in the White House.

Dr. Bandy Lee is a forensic psychiatrist and a leading expert on violence who taught at Yale School of Medicine and Yale Law School for 17 years before transferring her activities to Columbia and Harvard. Dr. Lee is also the editor of the New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. She is currently president of the World Mental Health Coalition, the largest professional organization to address the problem of dangerous leadership and its contribution to a “mental health pandemic.” Dr. Lee continues to warn that Trump and his MAGA movement and American neofascism constitute a public health emergency, which as seen on Jan. 6 and with Trump's escalating threats of massive violence and destruction is only continuing to get worse. She also warns that Trump's megalomania and the enduring power of the MAGA cult reflects how American society is sick with malignant normality and how that collective state of evil and pathological behavior can only lead to doom and destruction.  Dr. Lee reflects on where the country would now be if the news media, political class, and other elites had responded properly to the warnings issued by mental health professionals more than seven years ago that Donald Trump represented an extreme threat to American society and that his obvious unwellness would spread and infect the nation if he were to become president – and if he wins the 2024 Election Dictator for Life will become a terminal disease for American democracy and society.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Sgt. Aquilino Gonell is a Dominican immigrant, former U.S. Army Soldier, and Iraq War veteran. He's been a Capitol Hill Police Officer for the past 17 years and was one of four police officers who testified before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Insurrection.

He is the recipient of the Carnegie Immigrant Award. Sgt. Gonell's new book (with co-author Susan Shapiro) is American Shield: The Immigrant Sergeant Who Defended Democracy. Sgt. Gonell shares what it was like on the ground as he and his fellow officers tried to defend the Capitol on Jan. 6 against Trump's MAGA terrorist mob and attack force who were trying to end American democracy as part of the coup attempt. Sgt. Gonell also reflects on his personal trauma, healing, questions of character, and how he became the type of man he is as shown by his service to the country when it would have been much easier to not have shown up to work on that historic Jan. 6.

Dr. Justin Frank is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center and the author of Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. He warns that Donald Trump appears to be a megalomaniac, who as demonstrated by his recent comments at a rally in Iowa, truly does believe that he is some type of Chosen One who has been selected by “god” and “Jesus” to be America's first dictator. Dr. Frank also explains how Trump's obviously diseased mind and severe mental unwellness is rooted in a need to protect himself from reality – and how the pro-democracy forces can perhaps pierce Trump's defense shield as they try to stop his fascist movement and takeover of the country.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Dr. Justin Frank is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center and the author of Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank shares his expert insights about Donald Trump's mind and how the ex-president's mental pathologies and other unwell behavior are shaping his response to being criminally indicted for his many alleged crimes including Jan. 6 and his attempted coup attempt to end American democracy.  In the end, Dr. Frank warns Trump will become increasingly detached from reality as he exercises even more violent control and power over his MAGA cult followers who view the ex-president as a type of father figure and personal god.

Logis is the founder of Perfect Our Union, an organization dedicated to healing political traumatization; building diverse, pro-democracy alliances; and perfecting our Union.

Rich Logis also shares how being a member of the MAGA movement and worshipping the Great Leader Donald Trump made him feel like he was a soldier in a revolutionary struggle to defeat the Democrats, “the liberals” and other enemies of “the movement”.

Mark Jacob is a media critic and a former Metro Editor at the Chicago Tribune and Sunday Editor at the Chicago Sun-Times. He reflects on his decades-long career in the news media and what he learned about that institution's failings and how it helped to birth the Age of Trump and American neofascism. Mark Jacob warns that obsolete habits and cultural norms such as “fairness”, “objectivity”, “bothsidesism”, “access journalism”, and “horse race coverage” by the mainstream corporate news media are acts of cowardice and surrender to the Republican fascists and other malign actors.

Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and social critic. His two most recent books are Our Class: Trauma and Transformation in an American Prison and The Greatest Evil is War. Chris Hedges reflects on the lessons he learned during his long career as a journalist about the “business” that is the news business, how the “truth” is manufactured, why it pays very well to be a careerist who does not care about confronting Power, and the ways that the limits of the approved public discourse are shaped to serve the interests of the rich and the powerful. He also offers counsel and advice about enduring difficult times and navigating the personal cost to one's physical, mental, and emotional health that comes from being a serious journalist who is committed to telling uncomfortable and unpopular truths in dangerous times. Chris Hedges shares his worries about how Russia's war against Ukraine, and America and NATO's response to it, could potentially spiral out of control into a wider war and even worse disaster.

*** This is a special combined episode of The Truth Report and The Chauncey DeVega Show*** Jeff Sharlet is a journalist and bestselling author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power and C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy. His forthcoming book is The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War. Sharlet reflects on the meaning of the 2022 midterms and how the American people voted to slow down the Republican fascist assault on their democracy and by doing so won an important reprieve in what will be a very long struggle. He also counsels that hope is very important and a source of strength and fuel in the long war for American democracy. Sharlet also highlights how writing and community and other forms of creating social capital will be a bulwark and source of resistance and fuel against the Republican fascists, the larger white right, and other forms of civic evil. Chauncey shares his insights on the 2022 midterms, what the polling data and other evidence really shows about how the American people voted to support “democracy” (or not), and counsels that many countervailing forces were at work on election day. Ultimately, Chauncey warns that the final story about the 2022 midterms is far from being written and that the conventional wisdom will likely be proven wrong again. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

His forthcoming book is The Age of Insurrection: The Radical Right's Assault on American Democracy. Neiwert warns that there is a high potential for right-wing violence in response to the midterms and beyond. He also explains how the Republican fascists and larger white right have been planning their attempt to end American democracy in plain sight for decades – and that the Age of Trump and this escalating democracy crisis should not be a surprise. And he reflects on what it feels like to have been sounding the alarm about American neofascism and the violent extremism of the American right-wing for decades and to not have been listened to. David Rothkopf is the CEO of The Rothkopf group. He was also a senior official in the Clinton Administration and CEO and editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy Magazine.

David Rothkopf explains why being calm and focused is necessary to defeat the Republican fascists and the larger white right's attempt to end American democracy. In the end, panic is a recipe for disaster – and is exactly what the Republican fascists and their forces want to create among the American people. He warns that voter turnout and mobilization are one of the few ways to stop the Republican fascists and their campaign against American democracy during the 2022 midterms and beyond. And Rothkopf reflects on what he learned from his time in the Clinton administration and why there can be no compromise with today's Republican fascists and why doing so is to surrender and betray American democracy and freedom.

Shawn Rosenberg is a professor of political science and psychology at UC Irvine and one of the world's foremost experts in political psychology. He warns that the average American and other people who live in countries governed by Western-style democracies may be fundamentally unable to follow through on the basic responsibilities of being responsible citizens. Such a deficiency helps to explain why right-wing fake populism and other forms of authoritarianism and fascism are compelling to so many people – and that saving American and Western-style democracy from the rising fascist tide will require fundamental reforms of the educational system and democratic institutions. In this wide-ranging conversation Shawn Rosenberg also explains why Trump's followers and those of other right-wing populists and demagogues are so attracted to violence, conspiracism, nationalism, racism, bigotry, the cult of ignorance, dark charisma and the other anti-social values and beliefs that animate such movements.

Sudhir Venkatesh is the William B Ransford Professor of Sociology and African-American Studies at Columbia University. His books include Floating City and Gang Leader for a Day. Sudhir Venkatesh's new book is The Tomorrow Game: Rival Teenagers, Their Race for a Gun, and a Community United to Save Them. He reflects upon his 30-year relationship with the South Side of Chicago and how racism and classism distort the complex truth about that community and the people who live there. Sudhir Venkatesh also explains the importance of listening, respect, and allowing people to tell their own life stories and how sociologists – and people more generally in this moment of democracy crisis and other troubles – can benefit from learning that lesson. In this wide-ranging conversation, he also grapples with how American higher education and its most elite institutions have failed to rise to the challenge in this moment of ascendant fascism, the coronavirus pandemic, gangster capitalism, and other great crises. Sudhir Venkatesh also shares his thoughts on the critically acclaimed HBO TV series The Wire, and how contrary to the wishes of many white liberals and others who want easy answers while being entertained, it is not some type of definitive text and the authoritative final word about “urban poverty” and crime in America.

*** This is a special combined episode of The Truth Report and The Chauncey DeVega Show*** Brynn Tannehill is a leading trans activist and essayist. She has written for such leading publications as The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and The Advocate. Tannehill is a former United States Naval Aviator and officer who also served as a campaign analyst for the 5th Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain. After leaving the military, she worked as a senior defense research scientist in private industry. Tannehill is the author of several books including American Fascism: How the GOP is Subverting Democracy. Tannehill explains that the Republican-fascist movement is in full revolutionary mode and will not stop until America's pluralistic multiracial democracy is destroyed. She highlights the need to use the correct moral language to describe the Republican-fascists and Trump-led anti-democracy movement as evil and why the Democratic Party and too many centrist “reasonable” liberal and progressive types are unable to do what is necessary to save American democracy. Tannehill also separates fact from fiction regarding what is actually known about Donald Trump being investigated by the Department of Justice for allegedly violating the Espionage Act and betraying America's nuclear and other most closely guarded secrets. She details a scenario where Donald Trump is (finally) arrested and charged with committing high crimes, then escapes responsibility, and the United States spirals into widespread neofascist violence and other deadly mayhem. Chauncey DeVega reflects on the pressures of writing “hot takes” about America's escalating crises, why so many public voices succumb to chasing controversy and “if it bleeds it leads”, and the necessity of being calm, cool, and collected during this national emergency.

On this special installment of The Truth Report, Chauncey DeVega reflects on the fascist tsunami and escalating disaster that is a rogue Supreme Court that has taken away women's reproductive rights, the “revelations” that Trump's coup plot was even more dangerous than most among the chattering class and centrist punditry hope-peddlers wanted to admit, and other happenings that have left so many Americans off balance and in a state of despair. As part of that reflection, Chauncey offers some advice about what you can do on a day-to-day basis to center yourself and regain your balance and momentum for what will be a very long fight against American and global neofascism.    You can listen to the entire episode 362 of The Chauncey DeVega Show – with guest Jeff Sharlet – where this segment originally appeared at the link below: https://thechaunceydevegashow.libsyn.com/ep-362-jeff-sharlets-journey-into-the-dark-heart-of-the-american-fascist-nightmare-fever-dream WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and social critic. His most recent book is Our Class: Trauma and Transformation in an American Prison. He reflects on the sudden deletion of his popular Emmy-award winning RT Network television show “On Contact” from YouTube in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hedges also explains what that reveals about the new censorship in the 21st century, a time when social media and other corporate actors exercise an almost unrestricted power to shape public opinion and to silence those voices and individuals they deem to be problematic. And Chris Hedges tries to prepare the American people for a 21st century where Christian fascists, right-wing fake populists, the corporatocracy and other right-wing authoritarians will be in power and the mainstream news media and the Democratic Party with its centrist monied interests (and a desperate yearning to return to “normal”) is going to simultaneously be both crushed and willing agents of the new order.

Cathy O'Neil is the author of the bestselling book Weapons of Math Destruction. Her new book is The Shame Machine: Who Profits in the New Age of Humiliation.

She also details the often contradictory and nonsensical relationship between so-called “cancel culture” and shame. O'Neil also explores the complex dynamics at work surrounding questions of public shaming, resistance, white privilege, white supremacy and the so-called “Karen” and “Barbecue Becky” phenomenon.

His essay “The True Story of The Harder They Fall's Villain Is Even Weirder Than in the Movie” was recently featured at Slate. He is the author of several novels including his most recent, “In the Company of Educated Men”. Gaiter is also the author of the historical novel, “I Dreamt I Was in Heaven - The Rampage of the Rufus Buck Gang”. He explains how an allegiance to Whiteness and the many big and little lies of white supremacy and racism will bring the ultimate destruction of the United States. Gaiter also warns that American fascism and the attempt by the Jim Crow Republicans and Donald Trump to overthrow America's multiracial democracy on Jan. 6 (and beyond) highlights a profound cultural and political sickness across the color line here in America. He also reflects on how White America is fundamentally in denial and possessed by a willful naivete and gross childish thinking about its capacity for and attraction to violence, death, and destruction.

Tim Wise is one of America's and the world's leading experts on white privilege and racism. He is the author of numerous books including his most recent Dispatches from the Race War. He explains how white rage and white privilege have combined in the Jim Crow Republican Party's very successful “critical race theory” bogeyman attacks as seen in Virginia (and soon around the country) against the Democrats, the very idea of public education, and the teaching of America's real history of racial inequality and injustice. Wise also highlights how these “critical race theory” attacks are a manifestation of a desire by white parents and others invested in the many big and small lies of Whiteness to create their own white “safe space” where black and brown people's humanity and pain are marginalized and ultimately ignored. And Tim Wise explains exactly how the Democrats and others can successfully fight back against the Jim Crow Republicans' white supremacist “critical race theory” bogeyman attacks.

Jared Yates Sexton is the guest on this very special July 4 Independence Day episode of The Truth Report and The Chauncey DeVega Show. Jared Yates Sexton is the author of several books including “The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage” and “American Rule: How a Nation Conquered the World But Failed Its People”. In this wide-ranging conversation Jared and Chauncey ponder why so many rank-and-file Americans as well as the country's “elites” are in denial about the ongoing and worsening crises that may be the end of the country as they know it. They also highlight how America is beset by a culture of death and destruction and apocalypse as shown by gangster capitalism, Christian fascism and End Times fantasies, and the Trump-led Republican Party and fascist movement which tried to nullify democracy on Jan 6 – and are continuing to do so. Jared and Chauncey DeVega reflect on how they have navigated the emotionally challenging task(s) of documenting the ongoing and escalating disaster that is the Age of Trump and ascendant fascism and an American democracy that is on life support.

He also reflects on the book’s relationship to Cold War techno thrillers such as Tom Clancy’s novels, the vulnerabilities of America’s high-tech superweapons such as the F35 and F22 fighter planes, and how the country’s 9/11 forever wars in the Middle East and elsewhere have left the U.S. military underprepared to fight a peer competitor such as China. And Ackerman warns the American people that unlike the conflicts abroad in the aftermath of 9/11 that a war with China may change life as they know it forever. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?
