Tenure of Office: November 13, 1817 - March 4, 1829 After making a name for himself in some high profile cases as well as his literary endeavors, William Wirt became the 9th US Attorney General and would ultimately prove to be the longest-serving person in that post to date. What did he contribute to the two administrations that he served and how did he transform the office of Attorney General?

“Personnel is policy” is an old truism in the conservative movement. After President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, one of the big question marks as he headed into his second term was whether or not those tasked with setting up his administration had fully appreciated that time-tested wisdom. In his first term, Trump saw his agenda undermined by deep state and Republican Party apparatchiks alike. That problem most clearly manifested at the top of the administration, with figures such as former National Security Advisor John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley playing outsized roles. But the American Right's personnel problem runs far deeper than the Cabinet. At every level, Trump was facing a shortage of staffers who believed in the president's vision and were willing to enact it. Nick Solheim co-founded American Moment with Saurabh Sharma and Jake Mercier in 2021 to solve this problem beyond just a second Trump term. Solheim, now the organization's CEO, joined “The Signal Sitdown” to take viewers inside the conservative movement's changing personnel pipeline.

This Day in Legal History: SCOTUS Rejects Challenge to BrownOn September 12, 1958, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in Cooper v. Aaron, firmly rejecting a challenge by the State of Arkansas to the enforcement of Brown v. Board of Education. In the wake of Brown, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, Arkansas officials sought to delay desegregation efforts in Little Rock, citing violent resistance and the need to preserve public order. The state's governor and legislature argued they were not bound by the Court's ruling.The Supreme Court rejected that claim unequivocally. In a rare decision signed by all nine justices, the Court reaffirmed the supremacy of the Constitution and the binding nature of its interpretations. It stated that the Constitution is the "supreme law of the land," and that the Court's rulings are final and must be followed by all states, regardless of political disagreement or local unrest.The ruling was a direct rebuke to Governor Orval Faubus, who had used the Arkansas National Guard to block the entry of nine Black students into Little Rock Central High School in 1957. President Eisenhower had responded by sending federal troops to enforce the desegregation order. Cooper v. Aaron underscored the federal judiciary's power to enforce constitutional rights, even in the face of open defiance by state authorities.The Court's opinion in Cooper was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, signaling that federal law could not be nullified by state action. It also clarified that resistance to judicial decisions, especially on constitutional matters, was itself unconstitutional. By reasserting its own authority and that of the federal government, the Court helped ensure that desegregation would proceed, however slowly, across the South.Senate Republicans pushed through a rule change aimed at speeding up the confirmation of President Donald Trump's executive-branch nominees. In a 53-45 vote, the GOP majority limited the ability of Senate Democrats to slow the process, allowing groups of nominees to be confirmed together rather than individually. The change does not apply to Cabinet heads or federal judges.Senate Majority Leader John Thune defended the move, saying the chamber was being bogged down by procedural delays. In contrast, Democratic Senator Adam Schiff warned the rule change weakens institutional checks on presidential power, calling it a further erosion of Senate independence. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer criticized it as enabling a “conveyor belt of unqualified nominees.”This is the third significant alteration in 12 years to Senate rules that weaken the minority party's influence, a trend that began with Democrats in 2013 and continued under Republicans in 2017. Critics argue the Senate is drifting away from its traditional role as a stabilizing body in the legislative process. The first group of Trump nominees could see expedited confirmation as early as next week. Stephen Miran's Federal Reserve nomination will proceed under the prior rules.US Senate loosens rule to speed confirmation of some Trump nominees | ReutersA federal judge in Seattle issued a nationwide injunction blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a policy that would have barred undocumented children from enrolling in Head Start, a federal preschool program for low-income families. Judge Ricardo Martinez ruled that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) lacked the authority to impose immigration-based restrictions on access to Head Start, criticizing the agency for failing to follow proper rulemaking procedures.The decision followed a similar ruling one day earlier from a federal judge in Rhode Island, which halted the policy in 21 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia. The Seattle lawsuit was brought by Head Start associations from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin, along with two parent advocacy groups. They challenged a July directive that expanded the interpretation of the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) to include Head Start among programs limited to legal residents.Since 1998, HHS had interpreted the law as not applying to non-postsecondary education programs like Head Start. Judge Martinez stated that Congress had effectively endorsed that interpretation by not altering the law and had even broadened access to Head Start over time. Despite recent limits by the U.S. Supreme Court on nationwide injunctions, Martinez justified his decision as necessary to provide uniform relief.Trump policy barring migrants from Head Start blocked nationwide | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Uber Technologies, accusing the company of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by discriminating against riders with disabilities. Filed in federal court in San Francisco, the complaint alleges that Uber drivers have routinely denied rides to passengers who use service animals or wheelchairs, and sometimes insulted or mistreated them.The DOJ claims that Uber also imposed illegal fees on disabled riders, including cleaning charges for service animals and cancellation fees for rides that drivers refused to complete. The lawsuit details incidents involving 17 individuals, such as a 7-year-old amputee denied a ride due to his wheelchair, a veteran with a service dog who missed a flight after being refused service, and a blind man in New Jersey whose ride requests were repeatedly canceled.The government is seeking an injunction to stop further violations, mandatory improvements to Uber's policies and training, monetary damages for those affected, and a civil penalty. In response, Uber denied the allegations, stating it has a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination and is committed to accessibility and inclusion for riders with disabilities.US sues Uber, alleges discrimination against disabled riders | ReutersWe'll see you back here on Monday and, until then, note. We like to close out the week of shows with a featured musical piece. That will make these Friday episodes seem especially long. We hope you'll stick it out and enjoy the featured piece but, if music – specifically classical music – isn't your bag, we get it. Our mouth sounds unrelated to the week's closing music ends here.This week's closing theme is by Clara Schumann.This week's closing music features a brilliant piece by Clara Schumann, a composer, pianist, and musical force whose work was often overshadowed by the men around her—most notably her husband Robert Schumann and close friend Johannes Brahms. Yet Clara was a prodigy in her own right, performing across Europe and composing with a clarity and emotional depth that demanded attention in a male-dominated 19th-century musical world.Her Scherzo No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 14, written in 1845, is a striking example of her compositional voice—bold, technically challenging, and emotionally complex. The piece opens with stormy, rapid-fire passages that give way to more lyrical interludes, showcasing Clara's mastery of contrast and dramatic pacing. It's music that demands virtuosity but also rewards listeners with its structural elegance and passionate energy.As you listen, consider how Clara's work stood alongside—and at times surpassed—that of her more famous peers. Her Scherzo No. 2 is not just a curiosity from a historical figure, but a work of enduring artistic merit that more than earns its place in the canon.Without further ado, Clara Schumann's Scherzo No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 14, enjoy!

He may have described himself as a ‘fighter not a quitter', but even Peter Mandelson couldn't survive new and lurid revelations about his relationship with convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The ultimate political animal, Mandelson was no stranger to scandal – having twice been forced to resign from Tony Blair's Cabinet. But brought back into the Labour fold by Gordon Brown after a successful stint as European Commissioner, the former spin doctor went on to enjoy a career renaissance – which eventually took him to Washington as the UK's ambassador to the United States. However, Mandelson was summoned home from DC in disgrace, following the publication of a cache of embarrassing emails and other communications between himself and Epstein. Was his downfall inevitable? And should Sir Keir Starmer have known better than to entrust one of the biggest diplomatic roles in the world to a man with a track record of self-destruction? Niall is joined by former ambassador and National Security Advisor, Lord Ricketts, and Sky News' former political editor, Adam Boulton. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and ally of President Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday as he hosted one of his campus debates at Utah Valley University. A witness described the moment a single gunshot was fired, saying, "people started screaming." Investigators say it appears the shooter in the killing of Charlie Kirk acted alone and it was a targeted act. FBI director Kash Patel said law enforcement had someone in custody, suspected of the killing, but hours later, that person was released. CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reports. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a close ally to President Trump. A fixture at Mar-A-Lago, he advised Mr. Trump on some of his Cabinet picks. He was also an early champion of JD Vance to be the president's running mate. In a four-minute video recorded from the Oval Office, Mr. Trump described Kirk, saying, "he's a martyr for truth and freedom and there has never been someone who was so respected by youth." Charlie Kirk motivated young Republicans through his organization, Turning Point USA. He used podcasts and campus tours to build his political movement. CBS News' Nancy Cordes looks at his impact. CBS News chief Washington analyst Robert Costa and former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy join "CBS Mornings" to discuss conservative activist Charlie Kirk's political influence. Nearly a third of Americans were born after the September 11th attacks. Nicole Sganga reports on one survivor who is working with teachers to ensure future generations never forget. Usher joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss his partnership with Ralph Lauren as the face of the new fragrance "Ralph's Club New York." Actor Zosia Mamet joins "CBS Mornings" to talk about her new book, "Does This Make Me Funny?" a collection of essays she describes as a "charcuterie platter" of her brain, reflecting on life, acting and growing up with famous parents.

Send us a textWhat if your greatest competitive advantage is hiding in plain sight within your HR department? Terri Wilson, CEO of Doing HR Differently, joins me to shatter outdated notions of HR as merely a compliance function and reveals how transforming your people operations can become your rocket fuel for growth.Terri passionately unpacks how most organizations drastically underutilize their HR teams by relegating them to transactional work when they could be driving strategic business objectives. Through compelling case studies and practical examples, we explore how progressive companies are flipping the script – investing in HR as a business driver rather than an administrative cost center.We dive deep into leadership development, examining how founders often struggle with challenging personalities on their executive teams. Terri provides a powerful diagnostic question: how much of your management time are you spending on each direct report? If one difficult executive consumes 80% of your attention, what could you accomplish if that time were freed up for strategic initiatives? This conversation offers practical guidance for CEOs drowning in people problems.The discussion takes a fascinating turn when we explore how organizations signal their true values through what behaviors they tolerate. Companies that allow high performers to behave badly while delivering results are sending unmistakable messages about priorities – regardless of what their stated values might claim. Your employees are watching this disconnect, making it impossible to build authentic culture without addressing these contradictions.Perhaps most valuable is our exploration of scaling challenges. Terri reveals how systems that work perfectly at 100 employees become critical bottlenecks at 500, emphasizing the need for scalable HR infrastructure planned well in advance. We challenge listeners to examine whether they've "duct-taped" their HR systems together through rapid growth, creating inefficiencies that are costing more than they realize.Ready to transform how you think about HR? This episode delivers actionable insights that will help you build leadership capacity, design systems for scale, and invest strategically in your greatest asset – your people.

The Government wants to deal with shoplifting offences in a quicker way instead of going through the entire court system. The Justice Minister's newly released Cabinet paper proposes the burden of proof should fall on the suspect to prove their innocence. This clashes with the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, as protected in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act. But Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking this could be compared to a traffic offence. He says someone caught speeding is given a ticket and must pay a fine unless there is a reasonable excuse. He's also welcoming a High Court ruling that the decision to extradite Kim Dotcom was legal. The Megaupload millionaire had challenged Paul Goldsmith's decision to surrender him to the US earlier this year, arguing the charges against him are politically motivated. Dotcom fought the extradition process all the the way to the Supreme Court and his latest effort was a judicial review. The Justice Minister told Hosking he's pleased to see his decision upheld but notes there are still potential appeals to be had. The Dotcom legal battle began 13 years ago.

UK is SINKING under STARMER. #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation 12 months after Labour's landslide victory the UK is sinking under the leadership of Keir Starmer. What a mess! The Cabinet reshuffle last week has been widely derided as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and it appears the Captain of the ship, Starmer is not at the wheel. He wanted to sack Ed Miliband. He refused to shift so the net zero nonsense continues. Starmer moved others around but left the architect of many of his problems in position, Rachel Reeves. He has a new Home secretary in the shape of Shabana Mahmood who is talking tough but without ripping up the ECHR and mass deportation, the UK will still hit that massive illegal immigration iceberg. Now Starmer is talking about Digital ID cards to combat illegal working thereby penalising us all for the failure of politicians to secure our borders or control all forms of immigration. Instead of hiding in his bunker, Starmer should address the Nation, declare a State of Emergency, apologise for the 12 months of chaos, and actually listen to the demands of the people and act upon them.

Today, Martha, Morgan, and Jess discuss Russia's most massive aerial strike since the start of the full-scale invasion—an onslaught of over 800 Shahed drones, plus ballistic and cruise missiles. For the first time, Moscow hit Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers building, alongside devastating strikes on civilian areas. President Trump, signaling frustration, pledged to speak with Vladimir Putin soon as his team weighs a “phase two” sanctions package targeting Russian oil revenues and potentially punishing foreign buyers. Despite summits and talk of diplomacy, there is still no ceasefire framework or serious negotiations in sight.What does Russia's choice of targets reveal about its strategy at this stage of the war? How effective could a new round of U.S. and European sanctions be in pressuring Moscow? And with no diplomatic momentum, what options remain for Washington and Kyiv to shift the trajectory of the conflict?Check out these sources that helped shape our experts' opinions: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/02/congress-pulls-the-rug-on-u-s-plan-to-beat-huawei-00527620https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/world/asia/china-hack-salt-typhoon.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleSharehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/05/23/cisa-cyberattacks-china-doge-cuts/ @marthamillerdc@morganlroach@NotTVJessJonesLike what we're doing here?

We should all thank Kelly Eckhold, a some-time participant on this show and most-of-the-time economist at Westpac, for his thinking around the future of the Reserve Bank. As I have said many times, if one good thing came out of Covid, it put the Reserve Bank, its role, and its influence front and centre for many more of us that may never really have paid attention to its workings and its ability to shape everyday aspects of our lives. Eckhold suggests the new governor put the inflation target a little higher than 1-3%. Historically we sit at about 2.5%, so chasing less than that can have a lot of effects you may, or may not, want. Do remember some inflation is good. You want inflation, you just don't want the amount we have had, and you want it produced from growth, not just cost-plus-accounting from councils and power companies. More importantly for me is the public accountability. The Quigley/Orr debacle shows you what can go on when public disclosure is not as fulsome as it could be. Eckhold wants the Monetary Committee vote made public. Good idea, so it should be. It's not often there is a divergence, but there has been lately. In fact, the last statement involved a 4-2 vote, which has never happened before. So why don't we know who they were and what they said? The rules as they stand mean a person on the committee can out themselves. But you will notice from last time that no one has. Why not? Next idea: a press conference should be held after each meeting, not just the ones that produce a cash rate call. I know I'm a wonk, but I cannot press enough the value of watching these things live. Not just the Reserve Bank, but opticians who these days, thanks to digital coverage of places like the Herald, run them in full routinely. The irony of that is you would be amazed what you learn, as opposed to what you may or may not learn from a news bulletin edited and often curtailed to a point of nonsense later in the day in a news bulletin. The best example is the Prime Minister's press conference on a Monday after Cabinet. So, more pressers, more transparency, which is more detail, more sunlight, more inquisition and more knowledge. What possibly could the Reserve Bank argue is wrong with that? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, has backtracked on his pledge to stop small boats crossing the Channel within two weeks of entering government. Sir Keir Starmer's new chief secretary has denied that the Cabinet reshuffle is evidence of a government in crisis. Police have made around 150 arrests at a demonstration in London in support of the banned group, Palestine Action.
President Donald Trump really, really, really hates wind and solar power. He made sure to make that point very clear during a Cabinet meeting last week, where he ranted about windmills for…way too long. At the end of August, the Trump team ordered construction be stopped on a 4-billion-dollar wind farm project off the coast of Rhode Island that was nearly finished. The administration alluded vaguely to national security threats, suggesting, among other things, that wind farms could be used to launch drone attacks on the U.S. None of this is good. Not just for, you know, preventing the very worst outcomes of climate change that could put billions of lives at risk and alter the very nature of human existence. But also for Americans dealing with spiraling energy bills. So we spoke to Bill McKibben, environmentalist and author of a new book, Here Comes The Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization, about climate change, to help us feel more optimistic about the future of the Earth.And in headlines, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vs. the Senate Finance Committee, and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has some thoughts on how we got here.Show Notes:Check out Bill's new book – wwnorton.com/books/Here-Comes-the-Sun/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The Senate Finance Committee was not gentle with Donald Trump's HHS secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., grilling him on his perspectives on vaccines and often catching him in contradictions. Jen Psaki shares highlights of some of Kennedy's more frustrating lies, and the efforts of senators to call him out.As Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, levels accusations of mortgage fraud against Donald Trump's political enemies, a new report from ProPublica shows that three members of Trump's own Cabinet have the same kind of mortgages that are the basis for Pulte's fraud accusations against Democrats. Jen Psaki explains how the facts contradict Pulte's claims of non-partisanship.States that value science and data and good health are not waiting around for the Trump administration to come to its senses as long as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the Health and Human Services secretary, so they're taking the responsibility on themselves. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey talks with Jen Psaki about how she is securing vaccine access for her state, and why states will have to do more on their own in the absence of federal leadership.

President Donald Trump's administration is full of sycophants. That was made quite apparent this week (if it wasn't already) during a three-hour-long televised Cabinet meeting. The lengthy meeting allowed for department secretaries to sing their lord and savior's praises while the world watched on. The excessive fawning over the dear leader would raise more suspicions if it were taking place literally anywhere else. But it's happening in the United States. And we are in trouble. We spoke with Bill Kristol, editor at large for The Bulwark, to find out what we can do to meet the challenge of the moment.And in headlines: the Department of Homeland Security now prohibits state agencies and volunteer groups from receiving federal funds if they help undocumented immigrants, an alleged sandwich thrower dodged federal charges, and the Food and Drug Administration approved updated Covid-19 vaccines.Show Notes:Check out Bill's piece – https://tinyurl.com/2ynd2f8vWatch Favs sandwich guy interview – https://tinyurl.com/aaf4ajh3Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In the federal government's latest excursion into the private sector, the US announced last week that it took a 10% stake in Intel. The move comes after the Defense Department became the biggest shareholder in a mining company, and the Trump administration made deals with AI chipmakers. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is continuing to direct his ire at the Federal Reserve— this time specifically on Fed Governor Lisa Cook, whom he tried to fire on Monday. So for more on state-sponsored capitalism and the seemingly never-ending Federal Reserve fight, we spoke with Scott Lincicome. He's the vice president of general economics at the Cato Institute.And in headlines: President Trump makes a lengthy television appearance with his Cabinet, a whistleblower says the Department of Government Efficiency put Social Security data at risk, and a federal judge dismisses a Department of Justice lawsuit against Maryland's entire federal bench.Show Notes:Check out Scott's Op-Ed – https://tinyurl.com/2ud35mxwCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
