VTDigger is re-releasing some of our favorite interviews of the past decade to mark the 10th anniversary of The Vermont Conversation.This Vermont Conversation with Jane Mayer was originally published in April 2022.Jane Mayer has earned a reputation as one of the country's top investigative reporters. As chief Washington correspondent for The New Yorker, Mayer has been relentless in exposing the hidden forces shaping American politics. Her bestselling book, “Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right,” documents the vast influence of the Koch brothers and was named one of the 10 best books of 2016 by the New York Times. In the past year, Mayer has exposed the right-wing funders behind former President Donald Trump's Big Lie of a stolen election. She reported how Ginni Thomas secretly supported the Jan. 6 insurrection as her husband, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, considered cases that involved her. And this month she exposed the shadowy conservative organization that smeared Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in a failed attempt to derail her Supreme Court confirmation. Mayer often provokes the ire of those she exposes. The Koch Brothers hired investigators to smear her, and the subject of her most recent exposé tweeted her personal contact information in an attempt to intimidate her. Mayer worked at the Wall Street Journal before joining the New Yorker in 1995. She has won numerous awards for her reporting. Esquire called Mayer “quite simply one of the very few, utterly invaluable journalists this country has.” Disclosure: Jane Mayer serves on the board of the Vermont Journalism Trust, the parent organization of VTDigger. 

Wayne Resnick and Amy King accompany Bill for Handel on the News. Judge dismisses Donald Trump's "Big Lie" lawsuit against CNN

Fox News is the most watched news network in the United States. In the days after the 2020 Presidential election, it broadcasted Donald Trump's ‘Big Lie”: that the election was stolen from him and voting machines were partly to blame. The company that makes some of those voting machines, Dominion Voting, pushed back suing Fox for defamation and settling for $787-million. Today, CBC's Washington-based correspondent Alex Panetta takes us through what court filings revealed about how Fox's most powerful people knew they were telling their audience was untrue, but did it anyway for ratings.

New documents in the defamation suit against Fox News for deliberately spreading Donald Trump's "Big Lie" about the election have opened a window on what it looks like when a media company sets out to deliberately mislead the American people, knowing they are lying. What does it mean for the first Amendment, for media coverage, and for the struggle against conspiracy theories? Also, another monumental Supreme Court case, ands Idaho takes up Marjorie Taylor Greene's call for a national divorce.

Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl has much to say about another handout to the wealthy. NY Rep. lied himself to a seat in Congress. Under oath, Hannity told the truth. One hopes his audience is listening. Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl: Tired of tax cuts for the rich being sold as help for the poor: Patriotic Millionaires Chair Morris Pearl said that he is tired of tax cuts for the rich being sold as help for the poor. The 2022 Omnibus bill's Secure 2.0 Act is in his crosshairs. It uses this as a pretext for making retirement accounts more flexible, but it is a giveaway to the wealthy. GEORGE SANTOS MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2016, VOTED THERE, THEN QUICKLY REGISTERED AGAIN IN NEW YORK: Republican Rep.-elect George Santos's official biography was willed with misrepresentations, but his real history is coming into focus. 'I Did Not Believe It For One Second,' Hannity Says of Trump's Big Lie While Under Oath: One public policy expert called sworn depositions from Sean Hannity and other Fox personnel the "strongest evidence yet to emerge publicly that some Fox employees knew that what they were broadcasting was false." Sean Hannity, the Fox News opinion host and erstwhile purveyor of Donald Trump's "Big Lie," did not believe the disgraced former president's 2020 election fraud claims "for one second," details from a sworn deposition revealed Wednesday. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

The second January 6th hearing exposes Donald Trump's Big Lie, Senator Chris Murphy joins to talk about a potential deal on gun safety, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy stops by Crooked to talk about Covid and mental health. 

Gov. Kay Ivey has finally come out with an ad that says what she should have been saying for the past months — touting a strong economy, the creation of jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in state history. But instead she chose to promote Donald Trump's “Big Lie” of a “Stole” presidential election and to belittle President Biden with her “Poor Joe” and racist, “No way, Jose” ad. The “Stole” ad proclaimed, “The fake news, Big Tech and blue state liberals stole the election from President Trump.” She didn't provide any evidence but then no one from Trump on...Article Link

Public option, what? A sweeping BadgerCare Public Option Bill was announced this week in the Legislature, which does more than any bill introduced in over a decade to make health care more affordable and accessible in Wisconsin. We hit on the top details of the BadgerCare Public Option Bill and why it's so important that legislation like this gets a fair hearing. In the weird and dangerous news of the week, disgraced ex-judge Michael Gableman is back in our chatter-box telling an Assembly committee that he was joining the circus. Okay maybe not, but he did give a clownish performance that spewed anti-democracy propaganda and bizarre conspiracy theories. Will Gableman succeed in nullifying Biden's 2020 victory in Wisconsin and selling Donald Trump's Big Lie? We also cover the latest Marquette Law School Poll and wonder, despite the media hoopla, if we really learned anything all that valuable. We wrap it up this week with a quick yap about the stellar pick of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson by President Biden for the US Supreme Court. Go Badgers!

Produced by KSQD90.7FM “Be Bold America!” Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 5:00pm (PT) Is there a larger problem than Donald Trump's “Big Lie?” David Pepper's “Laboratories of Autocracy” shows that far more than the high-profile antics of D.C. politicians like Marjorie Taylor Green or Jim Jordan that there is an even bigger challenge to American Democracy. It is the anonymous, often corrupt politicians in statehouse across the country who pose the greatest dangers to American Democracy. But, David Pepper doesn't stop there. He lays out a robust pro-democracy agenda outlining how everyone from elected officials to everyday citizens can fight back.

In which John Heilemann talks with Anne Applebaum and Brian Klaas on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection. Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and staff writer for The Atlantic, and Klaas, an associate professor at University College London and columnist for The Washington Post, are experts on the breakdown of democratic institutions and the rise of autocratic movements in America and around the world. Heilemann, Applebaum, and Klaas look back on what took place a year ago at the U.S. Capitol and what we know about it now; gauge the progress and prospects of the House Select Committee investigating those events; and assess what the potency of Donald Trump's Big Lie and the embrace of political violence on the right could portend for America's increasingly fragile democracy. They also discuss Klaas's new book, Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us, and Applebaum's latest, Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism.

2021 started with Donald Trump, on January 6, directing his supporters to go to the US Capitol and "stop" the certification of the election's results. Of course, he told them to stop the "steal", which provides definitive proof that Trump was lying to inspire and incite the attack, as his own administration officials and agencies said the election was not stolen. But if 2021 was the year of The Big Lie, 2022 will prove to be the year of The Big Truth. The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack has promised public hearings in early 2022. Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson has also indicated that the committee is considering criminal referrals for Trump and company. Moreover, the Department of Justice continues to investigate, indict and prosecute the foot soldiers of the insurrection, in what should be viewed as phase one of the Capitol attack investigation. Indeed, DOJ is following the standard prosecutorial blueprint in large-scale gang or RICO investigations: start at the bottom and work your way up the criminal ladder. Here's why these two things - the House select committee's investigation and criminal referrals, and the DOJ's criminal investigation of the insurrection - will converge to make 2022 the year of accountability. Because justice matters.

Host Reed Galen is joined by David Pepper, the former chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party and author of the new book, Laboratories of Autocracy: A Wake-Up Call from Behind the Lines. They discuss how the greatest threat to American democracy isn't the antics of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, or Jim Jordan…and it's not even Donald Trump's “Big Lie”…it's the anonymous, often corrupt politicians in statehouses across the country (and the levers of power which they abuse) that pose the greatest dangers to our democracy. Be sure to pick up Laboratories of Autocracy at your favorite book retailer.

Far more than the high-profile antics of politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Jim Jordan—and yes, even bigger than Donald Trump's "Big Lie”—our guest today says that it is anonymous, often corrupt politicians in statehouses across the country who pose the greatest dangers to American democracy. Our old friend David Pepper is the former Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party. Born and raised in Cincinnati, he's served in city and county offices, run statewide in Ohio, and has a law degree from Yale. But he's also an accomplished author of works that are eerily prescient about American politics. He's written Laboratories of Autocracy, a chilling new account of just how bad things have gotten at the state level, and what we can do to fix it.

Representative Ken Buck has joined forces with the Democratic congressman David Cicilline and others to push through a package of antitrust legislation that could prove damning to companies like Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook. “As a conservative, I don't think big is bad. I think big is great,” he says. But at the same time, he is quick to clarify that Silicon Valley isn't the land of “benevolent monopolists” and that leaders like Jeff Bezos need to be more transparent about their business practices.In this conversation, Buck discusses how he's moved further than his party on issues of antitrust, and why he — after initially backing the Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn 2020 election results in four battleground states — eventually stepped out against Donald Trump's “Big Lie” of a stolen election.Kara asks Buck which antitrust bills will survive big tech anti-antitrust lobbying, and whether regulatory agencies like the F.T.C. will actually have the teeth to enforce the proposed laws. They also dig into the Facebook whistle-blower's allegations, as well as conservative claims of social media censorship. And Swisher presses Buck on what he calls the “vigorous debate” within the Republican Party — which Buck says is happening “behind closed doors.”You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

Rundown -    Scott McInnis - 19:37   Mike Landess - 01:28:19   Dave Gunders - 02:24:28   Craig's Colorado analysis of Trump's Big Lie - 02:37:06   This show is filled with soundbites, guests, and analysis exposing Colorado aspects of Trump's Big Lie.  Former US Congressman Scott McInnis returns to Craig's Lawyers' Lounge to describe in detail the damnable Dominion Voting Systems lies going on in Mesa County with Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters.   Current Mesa County Commissioner McInnis explains why Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters needed removal as Mesa County's chief election official. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold agreed. So did the Colorado Supreme Court which affirmed a Grand Junction District Court also ruling against Peters.   Objecting of course is Tina Peters and we hear her interview with Fox TV5 in Grand Junction. Also objecting is Conservative Daily podcaster Joe Oltmann -- and you will learn the Dominion component of Trump's Big Lie spans both sides of Colorado‘s Continental Divide, with key parts involving Oltmann on Front Range and Peters on Western Slope.   Mike Landess is originally from, and of, Tyler, Texas where he's returned as News Director of the University of Texas at Tyler's KVUT 99.7. Remember when Mike and Ed Sardella ruled the local airwaves on 9News back in the pre-cable days. Enjoy a lively and fun discussion of non-retirement, the relative merits of modern media, and the states of Colorado and Texas.   Our Troubadour Dave Gunders provides his usual wonderful song with Wings of a Rocket as his hero pursues lost love. A great dialogue regarding love songs, movies, Star Trek, and undiscovered genius follows. William Shatner's rocket ride is also discussed and admired. We've got the remarkable sound of Shatner discussing his own non-retirement, and wise reaction to exhilarating space travel.   This show is dedicated to analyzing and undressing Trump's Big Lie. Listen to the common themes of feigned security threats, real security concerns, civil war talk, and an analysis of what is going through minds of Trump and his election rigging liars. How many have sipped the Big Lie Kool-Aid and are too far gone?   We've got sound from Oltmann, Peters, and Jack Posobiec (an ADL accused bigot) hosted by Colorado Christian University this October. Posobiec is podcast pals of Stave Bannon and was introduced at CCU by Randy Corporon, a Colorado lawyer fully backing Oltmann, Posobiec, and Donald Trump's Big Lie.  We've got that amazing sound.   Listen also to sound of Corporon performing for an audience of one (Trump) on LindellTV. Yes, that Mike Lindell, the demented and dangerous My Pillow guy pushing Trump's Big Lie. Pity the rubes paying conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell for the destructive Big Lie Lindell now selling on LindellTV. Listen to Corporon go all in on Trump's Big Lie, vouching for and parroting Oltmann. 

If President Biden and Democrats in Congress have any hope of enacting comprehensive, meaningful voting rights legislation, they have no choice but to end the filibuster. It's time for Democrats to stop pussyfooting around and play some hardball.Last week Republicans blocked action for the third time this year on voting rights legislation, making it clear that unless the filibuster is killed, there will be zero chance of passing the Freedom to Vote Act, intended to counter imposition of new voting restrictions in GOP states in response to Donald Trump's "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him.Take a listen.

In which John Heilemann talks with CBS News chief political analyst and CBS Sunday Morning contributor John Dickerson. The former moderator of Face the Nation, co-host of CBS This Morning, and correspondent for 60 Minutes, Dickerson is also the author of three books, a former writer for Slate and Time, and a co-host of Slate Political Gabfest. Heilemann and Dickerson discuss Republican and Democratic wrangling over the debt ceiling, the controversial Texas abortion law, the Facebook whistleblower, Donald Trump's Big Lie, and whether Joe Biden is doing enough to push back against the threats to American democracy; the evolution of Dickerson's career from print to television and his relationship with his mother, Nancy Dickerson, CBS News's first female correspondent. Heilemann and Dickerson also discuss their mutual grief over the deaths of their dogs last summer, Dickerson's recent piece in The Atlantic about coping with that loss, and what both men believe that humans can learn from their canines about empathy, loyalty, and unconditional love.

In which John Heilemann talks with Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence, author of The FBI Way: Inside the Bureau's Code of Excellence, and current MSNBC and NBC News national security contributor. Heilemann and Figliuzzi discuss the upcoming “Justice for J6” in Washington by those who consider the January 6 insurrectionists "political prisoners" and why, especially in the wake of President Biden's vaccine mandate, law enforcement and intelligence officials are bracing for violence in the capital and elsewhere around the country; far-right domestic extremism and the central role of white nationalist movements in fomenting it; how Donald Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election and the culture wars he ignited over Covid have created an especially toxic and volatile atmosphere in America today; Figliuzzi's views regarding the need to regulate social media platforms to curb their role in spreading mis- and disinformation; and how Figliuzzi recognizes a similar pattern in the radicalization of the far right at home to what occurred abroad around the spread of Islamic fundamentalism before and after 9/11. Figliuzzi also reflects on his 25-year career in the FBI, and the ways in the which the bureau has—and hasn't—adapted to the new threats the United States faces from within.

I'm with Jim Florio today, and we're talking politics. The episode actually was recorded on Tuesday, July 27, following the riveting testimony of four police officers who were seriously injured during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.Florio, a former Congressman and governor of New Jersey, talks about what he believes will be the consequences for those Republican lawmakers who have minimized the attack and continue to support Donald Trump's Big Lie about the election.Some of the highlights:•Trump supporters in Congress who are backing Trump and his election fraud lies will not be treated kindly by history.•Vladimir Putin undoubtedly wanted Trump elected because he knew he was unstable and could be easily manipulated.•Trump's opposition to wind energy because turbines “cause cancer” was ridiculous.•Water “is the new oil” and we need to husband those resources in the battle against climate change.Here's our conversation.
