Podcast appearances and mentions of Harvey Silverglate

Send us a textOne of the two founders of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education -- Harvey Silverglate -- figured the group might no last much past ten years beyond its 1999 founding. Instead, Silverglate, describes the group -- renamed Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression  -- as having filled the gap that was left when the ACLU became more of a progressive organization and less of a free expression protector. Fairfax criminal and DUI defense lawyer Jonathan Katz first met criminal defense and civil liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate over twenty years ago through their mutual membership in the Naitonal Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He met First Amendment lawyer Robert Corn-Revere -- now FIRE's chief counsel -- through their mutual membership in the First Amendment Lawyers Association, of which Bob is a past president. Both Bob and Harvey are CATO Institute scholars. Jon Katz has advised a conservative student referred by FIRE, in his campus disciplinary proceeding when his private university trampled on his right to videotape a campus speaker and university-paid public figure when no advance warning had been made against such recording activity. Jon was also referred by FIRE to advise a state university professor whose First Amendment rights were violated by being suspended from his job due to an uproar by numerous alumni and members of the public after he appeared as an unwitting hotseat guest of the O'Reilly Factor (on which show Jon has twice appeared, and also has appeared twice on the Radio Factor.) Worse, the federal government zeroed in on this professor, and dragged him through a six month trial (which Jon did not handle) that resulted in acquittal on numerous counts and a hung jury (10-2) on some additional counts.What becomes readily apparent in this Beat the Prosecution episode is that staying true to our principles helps criminal defense and civil liberties lawyers win in court. Harvey tells of the jury nullification that delivered him acquittals of around 30 people prosecuted for trespassing in the carrying away from the office of a Harvard dean in his chair, in protest over the Vietnam war, with the prosecutor then declining to prosecute the approximately 70 additional defendants. Bob tells about winning in the Supreme Court against a prosecution under a statute criminalizing the filming of dogfighting and other animal cruelty ("crush films").

Michael Milken is an American financier known for his development of the financial market for high-yield bonds as well as his high-profile indictment and conviction for violating U.S. securities laws. Richard Sandler, a retired legal professional and veteran investor joined Dan to discuss the Milken indictment, conviction, and what he believes shows overly zealous prosecutors abusing their powers. Harvey Silverglate also joined in.

Noted attorney Harvey Silverglate joins Greg Kelly in a winding and fascinating conversation. Silverglate is representing John Eastman, the man accused of providing President Trump with illegal advice regarding challenging the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia.But this conversation also touches on Silverglate's career and notable clients such as convicted murderer Jeffrey MacDonald, his own personal and legal philosophy, and why robust debate is a lost artform in modern-day polarized America. That two men like Kelly and the classically liberal Silverglate can sit down and have a nuanced conversation about freedom and civil liberty is a very rare thing, and something the pair also discuss. The conversation ends with a discussion of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the blanket label for a gambit of social reforms hitting college campuses across the country. Silverglate says these so-called DEI initiatives are turning off scholars on both the left and the right for their hampering of academic freedom.

* The FBI reportedly "abused its counterterrorism tools" to go after Catholics and pro-lifers "as potential domestic terrorists," according to a new report from the House Weaponization Subcommittee released Monday. * In February, the FBI retracted an internal memorandum from the Richmond field office, which described traditionalist Roman Catholics as "radical" and claimed they espoused "anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist ideology," * After facing immense backlash.

Brandeis University has banned the campus' Students for Justice in Palestine chapter over social media posts that defended Hamas. Brandeis President Ronald Liebowitz viewed these posts as celebrating or defending the Oct. 7th attack on Israel where terrorists murdered and kidnapped hundreds of Israeli citizens. The move has sparked a widespread debate about free speech and its role on private college campuses.Harvey Silverglate joins Dan for this hour.

Attorney John Eastman, along with many members of the Trump Administration including the former President, have been indicted for a myriad of charges in the state of Georgia. Together, they are accused of conspiring to hijack the 2020 Presidential election in that state, and violations of racketeering law, charges that could result in some of the defendants spending the rest of their natural lives in prison. But what was John Eastman's role? Is he the mastermind behind a plot to deny the will of Georgia voters? Or is he simply an attorney who suggested potential paths to victory, and whose advice was based on prior precedent and fits within a proper interpretation of both state & federal law? Civil rights & criminal defense attorney Harvey Silverglate, who is part of the team representing Eastman, returns to the program to discuss what he can share about the case, why he believes his client will be exonerated, and what motivations the Fulton County DA might have to announce the defendants' charges at the time and in the manner that she did so. ***** TOP STORIES West Coast, Messed Coast™... and then They Set the Looter Free Here's How Trump Beats the Georgia Indictment Trump Attorney Surrenders to Georgia DA, But Not Before a Scathing Lecture on the Constitution Trump and Tucker Show Was Perfect Counterprogramming to Fox News GOP Debate Portland's Predictable Doom Loop ***** MORE INFO VictoriaTaft.com Victoria Taft @ PJ Media --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/victoria-taft/support

Civil rights attorney Harvey Silverglate is seeking a spot on the Harvard Board of Overseers. This is a board that makes important decisions for how the University runs and conducts itself concerning a variety of programs and issues such as free speech on campus and more. Harvey Silverglate and Boston Globe writer Jeff Jacoby joined Dan to discuss the importance of this Board and its members.

Harvey Silverglate visits the Messy Times studios only to discover there is no daylight between us. Your Enlightentaining Host suspected that would be the case, having read and loved Harvey's brilliant book, Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent. During a wide-ranging conversation between two free speech absolutists, we touch on a few topics of little controversy. Abolish the FBI. Plea Bargaining is Extortion. Harvard is Broken. The Harvard Corporation runs the University, including the rampant runaway Leftist nonsense which has spread throughout higher education in America, leading to among other things, the erosion of our educational rankings internationally. The Speech Codes and kangaroo courts at Harvard mirror the same neo-Marxist nonsense found at hundreds of colleges across the land. As an alumnus of Harvard Law School, who grew up with the mantra "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me," he is appalled by the Maoist censorship madness run amok on his former campus. He is running as a write-in candidate for the Harvard Board of Overseers, with a very simple, compelling and clear agenda. As for the FBI, it's an insanely corrupt institution from its inception and should be abolished immediately. We have all witnessed the recent travesties under Comey and Wray. Tune in to hear a defense attorney's view of this viper's nest. The FBI has never written an accurate Form 302 which is THEIR written recollection of what YOU are supposed to have said during an interview, during which YOU are not allowed to record anything. J. Edgar Hoover is alive and well and the FBI needs to be relegated to the history books as a cautionary tale about the dangers of centralized power in a republic. Lastly, and in keeping with the proper application of Justice in this country, every single defendant is entitled to a real trial, where the State must either prove its case or drop the matter. Plea bargaining is extortion, does enormous societal damage and should be outlawed instantly. Once you've heard us bash the living bejeebers out of the parasitic, overreaching Administrative Leviathan, might we suggest as a palate cleanser that you check out CoinGeek's Bitcoin 101 free course offering?

Our first speaker will be Harvey Silverglate who is one of America's top defense lawyers. Harvey has represented criminal defendants in some of the most famous cases.  He has taught at Harvard Law School and has been the Chairman of the Board of the ACLU's Massachusetts Affiliate.  Harvey is an expert on the FBI and he feels that the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover haunts the FBI, and as a result, the FBI needs to be shut down, the staff fired, and a new national police force needs to be created to handle national crimes.  This will be a provocative discussion.Our second speaker is Nick Eberstadt who is the American Enterprise Institute Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy. Nick is the author of the book Men Without Work, and the second edition of the book will be released tomorrow.Nick is going to discuss the steady increase in the number of men who are 25 to 54 who do not work and are not looking for work.  We are going to find out who these men are, what they do all day, and whether they are happy.  And finally, we are going to hear about what public policies may have exacerbated this problem and what we can do about it.

A federal judge has heard arguments on whether to appoint an outside legal expert to review government records seized by the FBI last month in a search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home. There was no immediate ruling after arguments Thursday. Lawyers for Trump say the appointment of a special master is necessary to ensure an independent inspection of the documents. The Justice Department says an appointment is unwarranted because investigators have completed their review of potentially privileged records. Chicago officials say 75 immigrants have arrived in the city on buses from Texas, as part of a border policy by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office confirmed that the migrants arrived Wednesday night and that the city has welcomed them and will make sure they receive shelter and food.  About 2 in 10 Americans say they've had a personal experience with gun violence or a connection to someone who experienced it. That's according to a new poll that also found racial and ethnic disparities in how Americans experienced gun violence. One of Atlanta's largest hospitals says it plans to shut down in two months after experiencing more than $100 million in losses over the past year. Wellstar Health System announced late Wednesday that the Atlanta Medical Center will close on Nov. 1. A judge ruled that the jury for school shooter Nikolas Cruz can see the swastikas he drew on class assignments. Cruz pleaded guilty to the 2018 killings at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The trial is to decide whether he's sentenced to death or life without parole. Local law enforcement agencies from suburban Southern California to rural North Carolina have been using an obscure cellphone tracking tool, at times without search warrants, that empowers them to follow people's movements months back in time. Lawyers for John Eastman say they advised their client to assert attorney-client privilege and invoke his constitutional right to remain silent when testifying before a special grand jury investigating possible election interference in Georgia. Charles Burnham and Harvey Silverglate confirmed Wednesday that Eastman had appeared in court in Fulton County, complying with a subpoena the district attorney had issued to him. Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose to their highest level in two months this week, providing no relief for a slumping housing market. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate rose to 5.66% from 5.55% last week. Fewer Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week as the labor market continues to shine despite weakening elements of the U.S. economy. Applications for jobless aid for the week ending Aug. 27 fell by 5,000 to 232,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The Department of Transportation has launched a customer service dashboard to help vacationers ahead of the travel-heavy Labor Day weekend. Starting Thursday, travelers will be able to check the dashboard and see what kinds of guarantees, refunds or compensation the major domestic airlines offer in case of flight delays or cancellations. Reports of sexual assaults across the U.S. military jumped by 13% last year, driven by significant increases in the Army and the Navy as bases began to move out of pandemic restrictions and public venues opened back up. Bed Bath & Beyond says that it will shutter stores and lay off workers in a bid to turn around its beleaguered business. The home goods retailer based in Union, New Jersey, said Wednesday it will close about 150 of its namesakes stores and slash its workforce by 20%. A new study says that what meteorologists consider dangerous heat will happen at least three times more often in coming decades as climate change worsens. An unprecedented red tide in the San Francisco Bay Area is killing thousands of fish and other marine life whose carcasses are washing ashore, creating a foul odor that experts say could get worse during this weekend's expected heat wave. The United States says it has determined that Russia is suffering “severe manpower shortages” in its six-month-old war with Ukraine and that is has become more desperate in its efforts to find new troops to send to the front lines. South Korea may conduct a public survey to help determine whether to grant exemptions to mandatory military service to members of the K-pop boyband BTS. By law, all able-bodied men in South Korea must serve 18-21 months in the military. But exemptions are granted to certain athletes, musicians and artists. —The Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan and Ellen talk with John Garrett, who, along with his wife, Jennifer, started the monthly Community Impact Newspaper in 2005 in Texas. They had three full-time employees and covered two towns in Texas, Round Rock and Pflugerville. Community Impact expanded into Arizona and Tennessee, and by 2018, Forbes reported, the Garretts had 220 employees and annual revenue of $27 million. They have an online presence, of course, but they also believe in print: their newspapers are distributed by mail every month. They even opened their own printing plant to handle their newspaper and other jobs. They have a sign out front that says: "Print Ain't Dead." But as we prepared for this podcast, John told us they've just made some tough decisions. They sold their Phoenix operations and closed their small Nashville outlet. They've decided to focus on Texas, where their business is doing well, and they have fresh plans for the future there.  Dan and Ellen devote the entire Quick Takes segment of the podcast to the Muzzle Awards, a Fourth of July roundup of outrages against freedom of speech and of the press in the six New England states. The awards were conceived of by Dan's friend and occasional collaborator Harvey Silverglate, the noted Boston civil liberties lawyer. For many years, they were published by the late, lamented Boston Phoenix. They've been hosted by GBH News since 2013, and this year marks the 25th anniversary.

How many felonies do you commit every day? Today's throwback episode is from July 27, 2017, featuring criminal defense attorney Harvey Silverglate. We pick up the thread on the possibility of a coming militarized police state. How often have you heard people say, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about.” Criminal defense attorney Harvey Silverglate couldn’t disagree more. In his book, “Three Felonies a Day, How the Feds Target the Innocent,” Mr. Silverglate says we’re drowning in laws that are impossible for us to know, and he documents how hundreds of Americans are being prosecuted and oftentimes jailed for “crimes” they had no way of knowing were crimes.   Want More?

The assault on freedom of speech is ramping up to levels not seen since the dark days of the McCarthy hearings when innocent people were forced to defend themselves against crimes manufactured by a fear mongering Senator. Lists were made, people were accused and everyone was very careful about what they said, lest they be next.  Harvey Silverglate, sees some current similarities and is worried about where America is headed. 

Trends, Psych and Felonies. Three blasts from the past with trend follower Harold de Boer, behavioral pro Daniel Crosby and defense attorney Harvey Silverglate.

After reflecting on the best and worst parts of our country’s founding document for Constitution Day, David and Sarah dive into Attorney General Bill Barr’s Constitution Day address at Hillsdale College yesterday, in which he defended political judgment in bringing prosecutions and railed against federal prosecutors’ propensity to punish as much misconduct as possible. Our podcast hosts agree with Barr that there is an effort by federal prosecutors to expand federal criminal law to an unreasonable degree. But David reminds us that federal prosecutors are not just the instrument to be wielded by the attorney general, they are charged with carrying out laws that have been passed by Congress.  “Perhaps we have gone too far with civil service protections,” Sarah explains, “and that we are unable to remove anyone who is part of the permanent federal bureaucracy even for misconduct at this point really.” Most of the news headlines referencing Barr’s speech highlighted his comparison between career federal prosecutors and preschoolers, as well as his rather distasteful comparison between coronavirus lockdowns and … slavery. “You know, putting a national lockdown, stay at home orders, is like house arrest,” Barr said yesterday in response to a question about the constitutionality of stay at home orders. “Other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history.” Sarah suggests a new legal truism on today’s episode: If you compare anything to slavery, you’ve already lost your argument. Stick around for a deep dive into Lochner v. New York  its relation to coronavirus lockdown court order, as well as a discussion about whether Trump can win enough Electoral College votes without winning Florida. Sarah and David wrap up today’s episode with a reflection on their biggest career failures. Show Notes: -Bill Barr’s speech at Hillsdale College, Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent by Harvey Silverglate, Yates v. United States, Lochner v. New York, Morrison v. Olson, and William S. Stickman IV’s Pennsylvania District Court decision, 30-day trial at The Dispatch.

The economic fallout from COVID-19 is highlighting one challenge that entrepreneurs face all time: regulation stifles innovation. Entrenched interests You don’t have to look farther than the recipient list of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan program to see how even well intentioned regulations — in this case, to protect small businesses from collapsing — end up serving entrenched interests far more than the people they purport to help. Among the list are Kanye West, Grover Norquist’s  Americans for Tax Reform Foundation, perhaps most galling, the Ayn Rand Institute. Especially in a crisis, people look to regulations as the solution. But added regulation almost never helps the entrepreneur just starting out who wants to build a better economic future for their family. Instead, it favors the entrenched interests who can afford to lobby government officials. Via negativa Most often the solution is not additive. Rather, it’s what Nassim Taleb calls via negativa — it’s removing something often actually makes things more possible rather than adding another benefit to people.  I couldn’t schedule a dentist appointment for a period of time here in Colorado, but I could go to the pot shop. That’s the result of lobbying power. That regulation is not protecting my health as much as it’s protecting the entrenched interests of the pot industry. CEO bailout We bailed out the airlines, and in exchange they agreed to keep all employees on until the end of September, at which point they’ll lay them off. So we essentially took Americans’ money and set it on fire by filtering the dollars through the airlines.  Theoretically it helps employees, but only a little bit and for a little period of time. In reality it helps the CEOs who’ve made terrible decisions for a decade.   Resources Three Felonies a Day, by Harvey Silverglate

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 262, originally published in July 2015. Bernard Kerik was an NYPD Commissioner who was sentenced to 48 months in prison for an ethics violation. For over 30 years, Bernard put bad and violent criminals away, but when he was on the inside he noticed not everyone was bad or even deserved such harsh prison sentences. He tells Jason that the criminal justice system is setup to destroy people's lives, not to reform them. What should be simple fines or suspension of licenses has turned into lengthy prison sentences. Bernard shares his story and why he firmly believes the criminal justice system needs to change.  Key Takeaways: [1:54] How did Bernard go from being an NYPD Commissioner to an inmate? [7:50] Prison has become a business.  [11:15] Prison creates monsters, which is why the recidivism rate won't drop.  [14:15] Today we're taking people for ethics violations and we're turning them into convicted felons.  [20:05] Bernard has concluded that you really don't have any constitutional rights anymore.  [22:40] Has police brutally always existed or is it just more in the news?  [26:55] How is it possible that the U.S houses 25% of the world's prisoners?  Mentioned In This Episode: www.ACCJR.org From Jailer to Jailed by Bernard Kerik Three Felonies a Day by Harvey Silverglate

Harvey is the co-founder of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education where he serves as the current Chairman of the Board of Directors. He is also author of “Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent.” What is Harvey’s current view on the President? He is not a Trump supporter, but does not agree with Robert Mueller and how the legal system is systematically trying to pin him. What Trump has done may be politically unpalatable to some, but he is not doing anything illegal. Harvey uses Mueller to show how an overreaching prosecutor bent on getting his agenda done–get’s it done. Justice, for the most part, has nothing to do with the American legal system today. Harvey feels we are in an era where people look at the law in an objective way rather than with passion. Colleges pump out politically correct lawyers afraid of standing for what they believe in. Harvey is fighting to reverse that trend. In this episode of Trend Following Radio: Trump vs. Mueller Overreaching prosecutors Motivations of law enforcement Flaws in the justice system

The federal government has extended its authority into so many areas, and employed statutory language so vague, that ordinary people have found themselves criminals without having done anything they believed to be unlawful. Harvey Silverglate has observed this trend firsthand over the course of his long career in the law, and he joins me to discuss how bad it is, and what we can do.

Since the initial waves of political correctness and subsequent censorship swept across college campuses in the 1990s, many cases have been fought and won in favor of free speech. The overturning of unconstitutional speech codes, for example, seemed to herald a new era for individual rights in higher education. These victories resulted in no small measure from the tireless efforts of FIRE ? the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. Yet the battle is hardly over. Bob's guest tomorrow will be Greg Lukianoff, President of FIRE. As Greg explains in his new broadside, "Freedom From Speech," there are several new threats to free speech brewing. Colleges are beginning to include ?trigger warnings? on standard humanities curricula. Controversial commencement speakers are being subject to "disinvitation campaigns," and a general culture of outrage is preventing a robust debate. This "chilling effect" can be observed both in academia and, increasingly, in society at large. Greg joins the show to discuss the latest challenges to free speech, and to look at the special role played by our universities in creating this stifling environment. They also examine the new "affirmative consent" laws, such as the one recently passed in California, and the dangers they pose to due process.

Aaron Powell and Trevor Burrus tackle listener questions in this episode, including a few perennial classics: If libertarianism is so great, where are all the libertarian countries? Why can’t libertarians, conservatives, and liberals all come together to “make it work” in Washington? How can access to education be guaranteed if the American education system is privatized? And what happens to people who “fall through the cracks” in a libertarian society without a government-provided social safety net?Aaron and Trevor are also joined by David Boaz, the executive vice president of the Cato Institute.Show Notes and Further ReadingDavid Boaz, Libertarianism: A Primer (book)Salon, “The question libertarians just can’t answer” (article)The Guardian, “YA dystopias teach children to submit to the free market, not fight authority” (article)Harvey Silverglate, Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent (book)Jon Osborne, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film and Video (book)Ira Levin, This Perfect Day (book)Terry Gilliam, Brazil (movie)Ivan Reitman, Ghostbusters (movie)Joss Whedon, Serenity (movie)  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Thomas Jefferson valued higher education; perhaps more than any other Founding Father. He envisioned a University system where students and faculty would explore ideas in a bastion of free expression. That did not turn out to be the case. Our colleges censor speech and have become citadels of political correctness. Saying something which offends another student or speaking an unpopular thought will get you thrown out. Disagreeing with your professor is likely to earn you an ?F.? Think I?ve overstated the case? Harvey Silverglate, Co-founder and Chairman of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education joins Bob to talk about the the ugly truth of ?higher? education. The good news is that at the end of our show you?ll feel justified to stop payment on your alumni contributions. Let?s reclaim our colleges and remove the shackles on free speech which they impose.
