In the early hours of December 4, 2024, the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan bore witness to a chilling act of violence. Brian Thompson, the 50-year-old CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel. The assailant, captured briefly on surveillance footage, vanished into the city's labyrinthine streets, leaving behind a cloud of fear and a cascade of questions. This targeted killing, in the heart of one of the world's busiest cities, was not just a tragedy but a statement, the implications of which would unfold over the following days. For Kathleen Mangione, a suburban Maryland mother, the events of that December morning were about to collide with her own life in ways she could never have foreseen. Just days earlier, Kathleen had reported her son, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, missing. Luigi, an Ivy League graduate and once a promising computer scientist, had fallen off the grid entirely. Kathleen, unaware of his location since July 1, believed he was residing and working in San Francisco, though she later learned he had been laid off from his job at TrueCar in 2023. Her concern had grown into panic by mid-November, prompting her to file a missing person's report with the San Francisco Police Department. Then came the call from the FBI. On December 7, Kathleen found herself on the phone with agents who had linked her missing son to the man captured on surveillance footage. They showed her the image of the suspected shooter. Her initial reaction was not immediate recognition but rather a chilling confession: she could envision Luigi committing such an act. The weight of this admission hung in the air. For Kathleen, it was an unthinkable moment of reckoning—a mother's instinct clashing with her desperate hope that her son could not be involved. Two days later, Luigi Mangione was apprehended in a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. His arrest came after a San Francisco police officer recognized him from the surveillance image and alerted the FBI. Upon his capture, Mangione was found with a 3D-printed firearm, a suppressor, fake identification, and a document outlining grievances against the U.S. healthcare system. The document painted a portrait of a man consumed by anger and disillusionment, blaming corporate greed and systemic inefficiencies for what he perceived as societal failures. As Mangione awaited extradition to New York, his mother grappled with the public and personal fallout. The family released a statement expressing their devastation and offering prayers to Brian Thompson's family. Kathleen's earlier admission to the FBI now took on new weight, casting her in an unenviable light. She had done what few parents could—acknowledge the possibility of her child's involvement in a heinous act—but the repercussions were profound. The legal proceedings began swiftly. Mangione was charged with first-degree murder as an act of terrorism under New York law, which defines such charges as crimes intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence government policy. The gravity of the charge underscored the calculated nature of the attack. District Attorney Alvin Bragg described the murder as "frightening, well-planned, targeted" and designed to "cause shock, attention, and intimidation." Evidence mounted against Mangione. Ballistic tests matched the 3D-printed gun found in his possession with shell casings recovered at the scene. His fingerprints were discovered on a water bottle and an energy bar wrapper left near the crime site. The document, coupled with these physical links, created a damning case. Yet, questions persisted about his motivations and mental state. Was this the calculated act of a politically driven individual, or the desperate cry of a man unraveling under personal and systemic pressures? Mangione's background added another layer of complexity. As an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland family, his trajectory seemed poised for success. His family, known for their real estate ventures and nursing home empire, was a fixture in their community. Yet, behind the facade of privilege and promise, cracks had long been forming. His layoff in 2023 marked the beginning of a downward spiral, one that culminated in his radicalized worldview and, ultimately, the fatal act in Manhattan. Public reaction to the case was swift and polarized. In the corporate world, particularly among healthcare executives, fear and outrage reverberated. The targeted nature of the attack raised concerns about security and the growing hostility toward corporate leadership in a time of economic disparity and social unrest. Meanwhile, media coverage dissected every detail of Mangione's life, from his academic achievements to his family's wealth, painting a portrait of a man whose fall from grace was as shocking as his crime. As the case moved forward, legal experts weighed in on Mangione's options. Some suggested a defense strategy focused on mitigating factors, such as mental health issues or extreme emotional disturbance, rather than contesting the overwhelming evidence. For Kathleen Mangione, the journey ahead was one of navigating the unthinkable. Her son's actions had irrevocably altered countless lives, including her own. The image of Luigi—the bright, ambitious boy she had raised—now stood in stark contrast to the man accused of an act of terror. Her admission to the FBI, made in a moment of honesty, remained a poignant reminder of the complexities of familial love and accountability. The case of Luigi Mangione is far from over. As he faces his first court hearings and the process of extradition, the questions surrounding his motivations and mental state continue to loom large. For the Mangione family, for Brian Thompson's loved ones, and for a nation grappling with the implications of such targeted violence, the search for answers is only beginning.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Title: Trump Conviction Sparks Renewed Opposition Towards District Attorney Alvin BraggDonald J. Trump's conviction winner, Alvin Bragg, a Manhattan district attorney, faces increasing ire from right-wing proponents as the societal and political pendulum continues to swing in the Trump-era America. As Trump's highly publicized legal run-ins become a focal point in the country's drifting political currents, Bragg is caught in the crossfire.Bragg, who recently secured a conviction against Donald Trump, has been transformed into a lightning rod for conservative fury. The conviction against Trump, a figure idolized by a significant swath of right-wing America, has seemingly solidified Bragg's position as the latest popular villain amongst conservative circles.This comes on the heels of the right-wing lionizing Daniel Penny, another individual who has gone head-to-head against a system largely perceived as being at odds with conservative values. In a similar vein, Jack Smith, despite his right-leaning views, continues to dominate the conversation in the progressive wing due to his outspoken criticism of Trump's policies.Bragg's role in the legal proceedings against Trump has ensured that his actions are viewed through an intensely political lens. Furthermore, with Trump's immense popularity amongst his supporters, the district attorney bearing responsibility for the ex-president's conviction inevitably becomes a point of contentious debate.The conviction of Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was a momentous event that reverberated throughout the nation. The grit and determination demonstrated by Bragg certainly drew both admiration and criticism, reflecting the polarized nature of contemporary American politics.While Bragg's role in Trump's conviction makes him a target of the right, Jack Smith's vocal anti-Trump stance has garnered attention from multiple quarters, earning him a place in the spotlight of the progressive sphere. This dichotomy is telling of the stark divide in American politics, a divide that figures like Bragg and Smith are emblematic of.With the right-wing's growing discontent over Trump's conviction, and figures like Jack Smith continuing to stoke the embers of political dissent, District Attorney Alvin Bragg's job is becoming more strenuous by the day.As the dust settles on the landmark conviction of Donald Trump, it is clear that the legal and political landscape is becoming increasingly polarized. With both sides of the political spectrum becoming more vehement in their respective views, figures like Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith are thrust into the limelight, their every action scrutinized and invariably politicized.

Andrew Walworth, Carl Cannon and RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende discuss recent statements by Congressional Democrats who say they look forward to working with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to cut government waste, especially at the Pentagon. They also chat about whether Donald Trump can end birthright citizenship, or whether the 14th Amendment to the Constitution blocks him from doing so and they examine whether President Biden should give blanket pardons to government officials he fears will be persecuted by Donald Trump. Plus, N. Y. District Attorney Alvin Bragg is up for election in 2025. Will he face a challenger? Then finally, Tom Bevan talks to RCP contributor Richard Porter about the hit movie Gladiator II, and whether it is an allegory for Donald Trump's political comeback.

What drives a person to risk everything for a stranger? As we unwrap the captivating narrative of Daniel Penny, a Marine Corps veteran caught in a whirlwind of legal and public scrutiny after a New York subway incident, we pose the provocative question: When is it right to step into the role of a hero? We take you through the layers of racial dynamics introduced by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the broader moral dilemmas that accompany such actions. By examining Penny's motivations and the ensuing societal challenges, we offer a nuanced perspective on the complex reality of modern-day heroism.Turning the spotlight on the shocking case of Luigi Mangione, we dive into the unexpected and mystifying developments surrounding his high-profile murder charge. The interplay of internet sleuths and conspiracy theories adds an intriguing layer to this saga, revealing the power of media influence and public perception. Amidst this chaos, we empathize with Penny's emotional struggles as he grapples with the relentless backlash. This chapter highlights the psychological burden carried by individuals thrust into the limelight by circumstances beyond their control, and the polarized societal reactions that follow these events.The episode then broadens its horizon to address America's conflicting attitudes toward violence and the global stage's perception of leadership. From the Syrian conflict and potential U.S. involvement to the curious case of mysterious drones over New Jersey, we weave through these diverse topics, inviting listeners to ponder their own theories and insights. Join us as we embark on a thoughtful exploration of these pressing issues, aiming to provoke deeper reflection and foster engaging discussions among our audience.Support the showDON'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EMERGENCY, PLUS, SAVE 15%: https://www.twc.health/elsa#ifounditonamazon https://a.co/ekT4dNOTRY AUDIBLE PLUS: https://amzn.to/3vb6Rw3Elsa's Books: https://www.amazon.com/~/e/B01E1VFRFQDesign Like A Pro: https://canva.7eqqol.net/xg6Nv...

At this point, it's become difficult to keep track of all the different places that former (and possibly future) President Donald Trump has been indicted.  To recap: he has been indicted in New York County by District Attorney Alvin Bragg.  That case has already gone to trial and he was convicted of nearly three dozen counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up another crime.  That is NOT the case we discuss today.He's also been indicted in Fulton County, Georgia, on state RICO charges.  That office appears to be in a bit of a shamble as 7 months into a different RICO trial, against Young Thug, the wheels have fallen off, 2 judges have been on-and-off the case, and a mistrial seems pretty likely at this point.  This is also NOT the case covered by today's episode.There is also the case in the Middle District of Florida Federal Court regarding Trump's possession of, and refusal to return, certain classified documents.  That case was recently dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon.  That is also NOT the case we are discussing.Today's case concern's allegations that Donald Trump attempted to use various unlawful means to subvert the election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, and deprive ordinary citizens in several states of their right to make their voice heard in our government through voting.Chances are you are at least somewhat familiar with this indictment, but do you really know what Trump is accused of doing?  In this episode, Paul breaks down the indictment so you can understand what the Government has claimed Trump actually did to break the law, and Paul also discusses the recent decision on Presidential Immunity from the Supreme Court, as neither Trump, nor the Government, got the decision they wanted.  But if Trump lost in that hearing, why are so many commentators losing their mind over the decision?  Listen and find out.This will be part 1, as there was a lot to cover and the case is now set to go to trial, so stay tuned as (maybe) a trial episode will be coming later on!Hope you enjoy.

Hear from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in the criminal hush money trial against him.

[00:30] Jury Deliberates ‘Get Trump' Show Trial (38 minutes) The jury begins deliberating on Donald Trump's hush money case today. Joe Biden has claimed that his administration had nothing to do with District Attorney Alvin Bragg's persecution of Trump—but Biden's campaign sent actor Robert De Niro and two Capitol Hill police officers to lambast Trump at a press conference outside the trial yesterday. Even dedicated regime propagandists like Mika Brzezinski thought this was a step too far. [38:30] Celtic Throne Promo (4 minutes) [42:30] End-Time Urgency (13 minutes) Putting God and His Work first is the basic theme of the Bible. This kind of dedication requires a mindset of intense urgency.

[00:30] Propaganda Historians Join the ‘Get Trump' Train (19 minutes) Three prominent historians warn of the end of democracy if Donald Trump returns to power. Trump's Manhattan trial has not yet shown any crime that Trump committed, but District Attorney Alvin Bragg may get a conviction because of Judge Juan Merchan's deliberately curated jury instructions. [19:30] Joebama Protects Iran, Bashes Israel (31 minutes) The Biden administration is pressing its allies not to confront Iran for its accelerated nuclear bomb program—while bashing Israel for defending itself against Hamas. Meanwhile, Europe is preparing for war. As the U.S. descends into political chaos, it is even more important to pay attention to world events and learn from true history.

[00:30] Alvin Bragg's Show Trial and the Fake Biden ‘Boom' (41 minutes) District Attorney Alvin Bragg's show trial has revealed no evidence that Donald Trump broke any laws—but Bragg hopes to convict Trump anyway. Even regime media analysts are now admitting that this is politically motivated lawfare. Michael Cohen's “bombshell” testimony fell flat, confirming that he is a desperate and dishonest fraud fueled by self-interest. Meanwhile, the regime media is pumping the airwaves with stats about how great the economy is doing, but this apparent Biden economic boom is just a mirage. [41:00] Seek First the Kingdom of God (14 minutes) Matthew 6 admonishes us always to put God first, no matter what.

Michael Cohen, formerly a trusted lawyer to President Donald Trump but now known for his proven history of deception, may have unwittingly given a significant boost to Trump's legal stance. Cohen's recent courtroom comments could pose a challenge to the case being built against the 45th President by District Attorney Alvin Bragg. This interpretation emerged after detailed analysis on an undisclosed platform, following Cohen's statements in the 'hush money' case on Monday. In his testimony, Cohen revealed that he had clandestinely taped conversations with Trump discussing a proposed payment to David Pecker, who was then the publisher of the National Enquirer. This occurred prior to the electoral race of 2016. According to Cohen, Pecker had offered $150,000 to Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model, in exchange for her story about alleged romantic involvement with Trump, and her subsequent silence in the lead-up to the election. Cohen plays a significant role in another high-profile legal case, relating to alleged hush-money payments meant to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels. Daniels has claimed to have had a dalliance with Trump in 2006 during a celebrity golf tournament. The prosecution's narrative suggests that these payments were strategized moves by Trump to prevent any damaging information from affecting his 2016 presidential campaign. However, Cohen's recent deposition points towards a different interpretation. It suggests that the possible ramifications of these allegations were of no great concern to Trump during his campaign. Cohen has insinuated that Trump was indifferent to the potentially damaging reputation effects of the stories, emphasizing that the President dismissed them as inconsequential to his election victory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trump "Hush" trial is roaring -- and it is comical! In opening statements, the prosecution continuously called what Trump did was "criminal conspiracy." "Criminal conspiracy" is a crime, no doubt. But Trump was NOT charged with criminal conspiracy! Legal experts are shaking their heads, not believing the case being presented by District Attorney Alvin Bragg is so weak and based on very little at all. Meanwhile, today (Tuesday), Donald Trump calls for Judge Merchan to recuse himself from the trial! By the way, Judge Merchan put a gag order on Trump. Today in court, prosecutors presented what they say is "evidence" of 7 alleged violations of the gag order by Trump. The judge tabled the matter, saying "he'll consider it." Steve Baker -- investigative journalist -- joins us in hour number two. Lots of news has been discussed regarding more fallout from the January 6 follow-up. Steve explains the examples of the Government STILL breaking Constitutional First Amendment spying on everyday Americans. Today's show is FULL of new information. Don't miss it!

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom welcomes Robin Shaffer of Protect Our Coast NJ back onto the Dom Giordano Program live in studio for an interview on Earth Day as Shaffer continues his fight against so-called ‘environmentalists' who refuse to push back against a relentless effort for wind energy off the coast of the Jersey Shore. Shaffer provides an update on the effort, noting how while, even after achieving small winds in having past companies pull out, the push continues by progressives to install their initiative. Shaffer explains all the negative effects that shoregoers have seen and will see with windmills, and the negative effects that testing has had on marine life. Then, Dom welcomes in Andy McCarthy, Fox News Legal Analyst, back onto the Dom Giordano Program to offer his thoughts on the first day of the Trump hush money trial playing out today in New York City. McCarthy breaks down the arguments of District Attorney Alvin Bragg, telling how he believes much of his points to fall flat quickly when put into context of political precedent. McCarthy puts on his hat as both a prosecutor and defending attorney, providing a descriptive in-depth account of what to expect from the remainder of the trial. (Photo by Victor J.

The twelve-person jury has been seated in the New York criminal case against Donald Trump. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail the latest alleged gag order violations and give insights into the jury selection process. Then, they analyze District Attorney Alvin Bragg's own words, through his Statement of Facts submitted in the State of New York against Donald J Trump, with excerpts read by acclaimed actors Glenn Close and Robert De Niro.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmWith Matt on vacation this week, Brian hosts a conversation with Rebecca Roiphe, a New York University law professor and former Manhattan prosecutor who enforced the very laws Donald Trump is charged with breaking in his first criminal trial. They discuss:* Why legal commentators who criticized District Attorney Alvin Bragg's theory of the case were factually wrong about the laws at issue and how they are applied;* The importance of enforcing these laws, whether violators represent big businesses or small businesses, and whether their motives were financial, political, personal, or a combination thereof;* Whether it would've been a breach of duty for Bragg not to bring charges in this case.Then, paid subscribers hear a more abstract conversation about legal discourse and ethics. Why were so many legal and media elites, including many Trump critics, so eager to line up against Bragg, even as they lacked the subject-matter expertise to know whether Bragg had exceeded his mandate? Even if Bragg had gone fishing for a reason to try Trump on felony charges, would that be a violation of his ethical obligations or his oath of office? Should Trump's status as an exceptionally high-profile political leader insulate him in any way from accountability for lower-tier felonies, even if law-enforcement officers understand him to be a serial scofflaw?We hope you enjoy the conversation, and if you'd like to listen to the whole thing, you can upgrade to paid for a private feed that gets you access to the complete Politix archive and all future episodes. Further reading:* Brian on why Joe Biden should break his vow of silence and begin commenting on the hush-money case. * Mark Joseph Stern on why he was wrong, initially, to be skeptical of Alvin Bragg's case and what made him come around.* There's a new Stormy Daniels documentary on Peacock.

President Donald Trump recently walked into a neighborhood grocery in the bustling city of New York where a heinous act of crime and subsequent unjust prosecution baffled many. Jose Alba, an everyday working-class man, encountered an experience that one should never have to face within the quiet sanctity of his workplace. An unfortunate mix of robbery, physical assault, and a false smear of murder, all in the hands of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, lay ahead of Alba, looming ominously, as part of his near future. Before embarking on this trip, Trump made public a formal statement, meticulously spelling out his intent of personally stepping foot in the grocery store where Alba was wrongfully subjected to crime, followed by an unjust charge. Trump made it a point to highlight the vital role that businesses like these play in enhancing community fabric, especially among locations with less than desirable resources. The importance Trump places on law and order is apparent, as he strongly advocates for a re-evaluation and reformation of the current crime policies by the opposing political party. His belief stands firm that the restoration of law enforcement in each and every borough across NYC is dependent on this change. When Trump finally made an appearance at the Sanaa Convenient Store, the scene was heartening. Just the sight of the former President elicited collective voices of encouragement from bystanders. Echoing through the city's concrete jungle, chants of 'Four more years! Four more years!' reverberated, signifying the longing that many citizens still held for Trump's leadership. During the visit, Donald Trump had the opportunity to meet Maad Ahmed, the co-proprietor of the convenience store, and Francisco Marte, a local small business owner passionately advocating for such businesses. Their interaction bore witness to a bond built on mutual respect for small-scale enterprises and the indispensable role they play in local economies. Diving deep into the historical specifics of the incident, the event dates back to July 1, 2022. Jose Alba, then a man in his 60s, found himself face-to-face with a life-threatening situation. Austin Simon, aged 35, barged into the store and crossed the counter line, owing to his girlfriend's inability to complete a purchase due to her benefits card rejection. This action led to a violent face-off between Simon and Alba. During the escalating confrontation, video evidence clearly displays Simon unreasonably accosting Alba, gripping his collar, allegedly maneuvering him aggressively. Left with no other alternative, Alba, in his quest to protect himself, mortally injured Simon. However, subsequent events took an unpredicted turn when District Attorney Alvin Bragg surprisingly absolved Alba of the charges. The complex circumstances and life-threatening ordeal Alba found himself in eventually led to his acquittal. This decision signaled the acknowledgment of self-defense and timely redressal of a potential miscarriage of justice. In an unexpected twist, Alba chose to fight back legally against the ordeal he'd undergone and the flawed initial judgment of his case about a year later. In September 2023, Alba lodged a legal suit against Bragg, who reportedly received backing from George Soros. Alba, in no uncertain terms, declared his veracious belief in his wrongful prosecution through this legal recourse. In an enlightening conversation with the New York Post, Ahmed, the co-proprietor of the convenience store, revealed a significant turn in his viewpoint towards political participation. Stating that work commitments had kept him away from casting his vote so far, Ahmed shared his firm resolve to notch up his civic accountability, thanks to the recent events. The more you delve into the situation, the clearer it becomes that Ahmed's resolve resonates with a broader narrative of increased crime rates in the city. As per official data, between April 8 and 14, reported robbery cases in NYC rose from 4,346 in 2023 to 4,531 this year. This escalating number paints a visible picture of the city urgently needing a more effective and uncompromising law and order framework. Reports don't end with robberies. There is an alarming increase in felony assault incidents as well. So far, 2024 has seen 7,419 reported felony assaults, yet another statistic reflecting a rise when compared to the 7,281 occurrences within the same time frame in 2023. These figures hint at an inescapable grim reality of the metropolitan city's law and order situation. It goes on to underline the need for stronger crime prevention measures, more vigilant law enforcement, and a more immediate responsiveness by those in power. It is essential to emphasize that cases like Alba's and the rising crime rates warrant serious attention. They call for an outright rejection of the soft stand on crime, a reassessment of existing policies, and a subsequent implementation of stricter law enforcement protocols. Alba's story and its cascading effects are stark reminders of the societal consequences that can stem from uncontrolled crime rates and lenient policies. A city's safety and prosperity hinge on its ability to uphold top-notch law enforcement standards, a realization that should prompt its decision-makers, irrespective of their political leanings, to act swiftly and decisively.

The mess in Georgia continues. As a reminder, this all bears on the question of whether Fani Willis and her office will be disqualified from conducting the RICO prosecution of Donald Trump and his various co-defendants over his efforts to steal Georgia's electoral votes. This week, Ken and I invited Georgia attorney Andrew Fleischman back on the show to talk about just how this case got so prurient and stupid, what might happen with it next, and whether this is just what happens when prosecutors have to defend and defense attorneys have to prosecute.Meanwhile, in New York, District Attorney Alvin Bragg wants Donald Trump under another gag order — raising some questions that courts have gotten better at answering over the last few months. And out west, Biden accuser Alexander Smirnov got sprung from jail and almost immediately re-arrested, as Los Angeles-based Judge Otis Wright sought to ensure that he could not flee the country. And another SoCal federal judge, Cormac Carney, is in a spat with the Ninth Circuit over his unusually expansive view of when a defendant can get off on the grounds of selective prosecution.Visit serioustrouble.show to sign up for our newsletter and find a transcript of this episode.

Nikki Haley will be out of the race before the South Carolina primary, she trails Trump by 30 points. Mark Interviewed Best Selling Author Ann Coulter: Mark and Ann talked about the mess the southern border has become.

This week, former New York City Buildings Commissioner and ex-City Councilman Eric Ulrich surrendered to authorities in Manhattan. District Attorney Alvin Bragg says Ulrich took over $150,000 in bribes in a multi-year scheme, providing access and official favors in exchange for cash. A former advisor to Mayor Eric Adams, Ulrich pleaded not guilty to the 16 felony counts against him. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, Kelly Mena and NY1 political director Bob Hardt weighed in on the inspector's alleged crimes as well as his — and his co-conspirators' — relationship to the mayor. After that, in an attempt to help pay for the ever-growing costs of the migrant crisis, Adams has directed all city agencies to make immediate budget cuts of 5%. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team discusses the mayor's directive, including exactly how it will work within the agencies which already have tight budgets. They also look at the awkward rollout of this information from City Hall.  Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com   Further reading: Ex-NYC buildings chief charged with accepting $150K in bribes Mayor directs every city agency to cut funding

Far right conservatives in this country have been allowed to define the narrative about who the DA that's prosecuting the leader of their cult, Donald Trump. They are saying that Alvin Bragg is a far-left radical. That he is doing what he's doing because he wants to interrupt Trump's ability to become President. That he is loyal to Joe Biden.But all of that is bogus. Lies. Let me tell you who he really is. I've known him for the past 10 years.
