Podcast appearances and mentions of Jack Smith

Lewis is back to help us make sense of a wild week. Starting off with some explosive testimony from Jack Smith in front of Congressional Hearings, our Leader making the wildest of demands over in Davos in front of other world leaders before having to walk it all back, ending with some of the saddest news of the week with the totally senseless and brutal execution of an ICE protestor in Minneapolis. It's insanity out there, and we all know it. At least there's commiseration with our fellow friends to try to make sense of it all.

As the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis roils the country, Harry breaks down the fallout with Susan Glasser. Then, turning to the week's main discussion, three stellar journalists—Susan, Emily Bazelon, and Ruth Marcus—join Harry to break down Trump's assaults on the rule of law that made Pretti's death possible. From the corruption of the FBI and the carnage in Minnesota to Trump's escape from the prosecutions brought by Jack Smith, the trio engage in a wide-ranging discussion anchored in their in-depth reporting. Can the FBI withstand another year of Kash Patel's leadership? Is Jack Smith next on Trump's list of targets for reprisal? Finally, are the tragic events in Minnesota, as Susan says, Trump's most Trumpian accomplishment?

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Michael Fanone, former Metropolitan D.C. police officer, January 6 hero, author, and political activist, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about truth, trauma, and the consequences of political gaslighting. Fresh off his appearance at Special Counsel Jack Smith's testimony last week, Fanone reflects on surviving January 6, the lasting PTSD faced by officers whose lived experiences were denied, and how confirmation bias and media distortion continue to endanger lives. Together, we examine the weaponization of misinformation, threats against truth-tellers, and the growing normalization of state violence. This episode confronts what happens when accountability disappears, and why speaking the truth remains an act of resistance.

I remember a time when they might have been able to sell their propaganda, but we are on to them. The more frustrated they get as they survey their losses, the more desperate they get.I'd like to discuss MN, CA, Davos, the crime drop, Jack Smith's testimony, etc. and hopefully we will get to much of this.If Democrats were Olympic athletes, they wouldn't compete in governance. They'd dominate synchronized distraction. Perfect form. Flawless timing. Sticks the landing every time something criminal-looking wanders into the light.At this point, it's not even subtle. It's vaudeville.Whenever fraud bubbles up, whenever subpoenas knock, whenever a paper trail starts behaving like a bloodhound, Democrats don't answer questions. They release balloons. Smoke machines. Children. Preferably children holding protest signs. Because nothing says “nothing to see here” like a minor chanting slogans they learned five minutes earlier in exchange for missing geometry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we dive into the latest happenings in Congress and beyond, starting with an insightful conversation with Congressman Mark Harris. As a fresh face in Congress, Harris has already made a significant impact, advocating for budget cuts and accountability while navigating the political landscape with a gentlemanly demeanor. He provides a comprehensive update on the recent passage of 12 budget bills and discusses the ongoing challenges facing Congress, including Jack Smith's upcoming interrogation.Next, we turn our attention to a historic milestone in Kansas, where the state has become the 20th to pass a Convention of States resolution. Mark Meckler, the founder of the Convention of States movement and CEO of our parent company, joins us to share the remarkable journey that led to this achievement. After a 13-year campaign, Kansas has taken a crucial step towards reining in big government, and Meckler explains the implications for everyday taxpayers and the future of this movement.Finally, we discuss the recent March for Life in Washington D.C. with Father Frank Pavone, a prominent voice in the pro-life movement. He reflects on significant victories, including the Trump administration's decision to ban the use of fetal tissue obtained through elective abortions. Father Pavone makes a compelling case for why he believes President Trump is the most pro-life president in U.S. history, highlighting the ongoing efforts to protect life and the challenges that remain.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump's invasion of Minnesota takes another dark and dangerous turn. Tonight on Legal AF, Ben and Popok breaks down how Americans are no longer safe in their own homes, members of the press are being targeted, and another U.S. citizen protester has been shot and killed as federal forces escalate their presence on the ground. We examine the constitutional collapse unfolding in real time — where First Amendment rights, Fourth Amendment protections, and basic human safety are being trampled under the guise of “law and order.” We also turn to the global stage, where the world — led by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — has decisively rejected Donald Trump's strongman tactics and sent him packing in diplomatic defeat. Back at home, Special Counsel Jack Smith reminds America of a sobering truth: the White House is occupied by a criminal, and accountability has not disappeared just because Trump wishes it would. Finally, we look ahead to the Supreme Court, where even this Court appears poised to deal Trump a significant loss — signaling serious trouble for his tariff agenda and exposing the limits of presidential power. It's a packed, urgent episode focused on truth, law, and the fight to preserve our constitutional democracy.

Mark and Gary dissect the explosive congressional testimony of Special Counsel Jack Smith. From his inability to recall who swore him into office, to questions surrounding a second oath, secret subpoenas, confidential informant payments, and nondisclosure orders involving the Speaker of the House, the hosts examine what these moments reveal about power, process, and accountability at the highest levels of the Justice Department. The conversation raises serious concerns about prosecutorial overreach and why these hearings are not getting more public attention.Watch Beyond A Reasonable Doubt and all Reasonable Doubt video content on YouTube exclusively at YouTube.com/ReasonableDoubtPodcast and subscribe while you're thereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With the nation not far off the heels of the longest government shutdown in history, disagreements over ICE's funding have raised concerns about another spending package standoff. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to break down the state of Government funding for the upcoming year, Jack Smith's tense standoff with Congress over his January 6th investigation, Bill and Hillary Clinton potentially being held in Contempt of congress, and the political consequences of taking a snow day on Capitol Hill.

1. Oil Prices & National Security Lower global oil prices weaken hostile regimes like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela by reducing their revenue. The Trump administration aims for a “sweet spot” oil price ($60–$70/barrel): Low enough to hurt adversaries. High enough to avoid bankrupting U.S. independent oil producers. If prices drop into the $40s, it could collapse small oil producers in Texas and the Permian Basin. 2. Venezuela’s Oil Infrastructure Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but decades of mismanagement have destroyed its infrastructure. Estimates from oil executives: Increasing production from 1 million to 3 million barrels/day could take 10 years and require $100B+ in investment. Even going from 1 million to 2 million/day would take 5–7 years. Gulf Coast refineries can process Venezuela’s heavy sour crude, but expanded imports would mostly affect Canada and Mexico, not U.S. light-sweet crude producers. 3. Cuba’s Economic Crisis Cuba historically survived on financial support from: The Soviet Union (until its collapse). Venezuela under Chávez/Maduro (oil and money). With Venezuela no longer able to support Cuba, the island is in economic freefall. Mexico is currently providing oil that helps sustain the Cuban regime. The Trump administration may pressure Mexico to cut this supply, potentially pushing Cuba toward political collapse. 4. Jack Smith & January 6th Investigation Smith is accused of leading a politically motivated prosecution against Donald Trump. He allegedly relied on questionable or disproven testimony, notably from Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s dramatic claims (e.g., Trump lunging for a steering wheel) were not confirmed by eyewitnesses. Jim Jordan challenged Smith in hearings, accusing him of: Using unreliable witnesses. Conducting a partisan, anti-Trump investigation. Targeting large numbers of Republicans with subpoenas. 5. Crime Statistics & Trump Administration Policies Nationwide murder rates reportedly declined ~20% from 2024 to 2025. Approx. 1,400 fewer murders. Major cities showing decreases: Chicago: 30% NYC: 20% Baltimore: 31% Oakland: 33% Washington, D.C.: 31% (after National Guard deployment) Other violent crimes also declined: Motor vehicle theft: ↓25% Robbery: ↓18% Aggravated assault: ↓8% Law enforcement stats cited: Violent crime arrests: ↑100% Gangs disrupted: ↑210% Fentanyl seized: ↑31% Missing/abducted children located: ↑22% Human traffickers arrested: ↑15% Significant increase in arrests of espionage suspects and fugitives.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the situation in Iran is dire for the Iranian people. There's a holocaust taking place in Iran where the regime is brutally suppressing protests. The victims are primarily young people who simply want basic freedoms. Thousands are imprisoned, tortured, raped, summarily executed, or already dead with communications cut off. America needs to act decisively against this seventh century barbarian regime. Meanwhile, Tukey's Erdogan is trying to wipe out the Kurds. As time goes on, the urgency and immediacy for helping the Iranian people lessens in the public mind and among the decision-makers. Already, the media are losing interest. This is very worrisome. Later, the Wall Street Journal's accidental admission reveals that tariffs are not merely taxes but tools of foreign policy and diplomacy. The Constitution assigns Congress the power of the purse while granting the President plenary power over foreign policy and national security. Tariffs often intertwine these areas, making judicial intervention impractical and unwise, as courts would end up deciding case-by-case whether a tariff is more about national security or taxation, leading to endless litigation. Furthermore, the Islamo Nazi Iranian regime's leader Khamenei is executing protesters, even non-protesters on the streets. The media and politicians are growing bored of this and moving on from the issue despite the continuing atrocities. Economic pressure is insufficient, as Iran's economy is already nearly collapsed - Khamenei must be eliminated and sent to hell. Meanwhile, the Syrian leader is a mass murdering terrorist, not a reformer – he's horrifically slaughtering the Kurds while ISIS roams free in Syria due to actions by Erdogan and others. Finally, a candidate has every right to challenge election results, as President Trump did in 2020. Any candidate may legally question an election, claim it was stolen, or pursue alternate slates of electors - none of these actions are criminal. Jack Smith's criminal prosecution of Trump was a major assault on the Constitution and the Republic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Trump calls for an investigation into Jack Smith and Ilhan Omar. Trump warns of a “massive armada” heading toward Iran as the U.S. weighs further military escalation, while his administration openly pursues regime change in Cuba by the end of the year following the ouster of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro. Trump also confirms Karoline Leavitt's explosive claim that the U.S. used a new kind of weapon in Venezuela, though details remain unclear.

January 24, 2026; 8am: President Trump has backed off on his threat to impose tariffs on eight European nations over his demand for Greenland. But the damage from his ongoing threats and attacks has already been done, potentially causing a major rift in the world order. Plus, as Trump insists he's making progress on the “framework” of a Greenland deal with NATO, Greenland's Prime Minister claims he doesn't know what's in it, but has asked to respect his country's sovereignty. Adrienne Elrod, former Senior Advisor and Senior Spokesperson for the Harris Campaign, Elise Labott, host of "Cosmopolitics" on Substack, and Issac Stanley-Becker, Staff Writer at The Atlantic join “The Weekend” to discuss.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnow.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnowTikTok: @theweekendmsnow To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Donald Trump announces that he's reached a "concept of a deal" on Greenland, agreeing to drop his tariffs for … well, the details aren't exactly clear. Jon and Dan discuss what we know, Trump's invitation to Vladimir Putin to join his Board of Peace, and the most insane coverage of Trump's trip to Davos. Then, they break down Vice President Vance's appearance in Minneapolis—where he defended ICE's detention of a 5-year-old—House passage of additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Jack Smith's Capitol Hill testimony, and a New York Times/Siena poll that's so bad for Trump he's threatening to sue.

Vice President JD Vance travels to Minneapolis to push back on claims of ICE overreach, calling viral reports about a detained five-year-old misleading and blaming local officials for failing to protect federal officers amid escalating unrest. Two NYPD detectives seeking medical care in Brooklyn say they were treated with hostility by hospital staff who allegedly mistook them for ICE agents, prompting an internal union investigation and an apology from NYU Langone. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith faces sharp questioning from House Republicans over secret subpoenas, gag orders, and prosecutorial overreach as Democrats rally to defend his collapsed cases against President Trump - Reporter Julie Kelly weighs in.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, a candidate has every right to challenge election results, as President Trump did in 2020. Any candidate may legally question an election, claim it was stolen, or pursue alternate slates of electors - none of these actions are criminal. Jack Smith's criminal prosecution of Trump was a major assault on the Constitution and the Republic. Also, this Iranian regime needs to be decisively defeated. They have been slaughtering for over a half a century. Iran's Khamenei can be taken out without deploying U.S. ground troops.  Later, Phelim McAleer calls in to discuss his new verbatim play – October 7.  It is drawn directly from survivor testimonies of Israel's darkest day and is set to be staged at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on January 28, 2026.  Afterward, Mark Meckler, President of Convention of State, calls in to announce that the Kansas State legislature has become the 20th state to pass the Convention of States resolution.  Finally, Josh Hammer calls in to express concern over Israel possibly being cut out of the Board of Peace and Gaza reconstruction. The idea of allowing Muslim Brotherhood-linked actors like Qatar and Turkey to influence in Gaza's redevelopment is self-defeating. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 5088: Jack Smith Hearing: Lies And Meltdown

Former special counsel Jack Smith testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday about the steps President Donald Trump and his allies took to overturn the 2020 election and to foment the January 6th insurrection. Smith did this knowing that he is already at the top of Trump's enemies list — which the President is increasingly using the Department of Justice to prosecute. For more on the Trump administration's latest investigations, we spoke with Ken White.

The former special counsel testified in front of the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee for five hours on Thursday. After the hearing was adjourned – and in between their respective hits for MS NOW's evening shows – Mary and Andrew shared their takeaways from Smith's time under questioning. As they note, the representatives who called Smith in often used their allotted 5 minutes to read aloud their own political statements and left him little room to say anything. In his opening statement, Smith took pains to stand up for his staff, some of whom were fired from their public service jobs, some whom have been vilified by the president's supporters, and some threatened. He said they are the best of public servants and our country owes them a debt of gratitude. Over the course of the day, Smith repeatedly told lawmakers that his team had proof that Trump knew his allegations about the election being stolen were false, that he caused the Jan. 6th insurrection and that he exploited subsequent violence. While Smith was testifying, as Mary points out, Trump posted on Truth Social: “Jack Smith is a deranged animal, who shouldn't be allowed to practice Law. If he were a Republican, his license would be taken away from him, and far worse!” Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

Trump, trying desperately to distract from a new cycle from hell (Greenland fail; Supreme Court fail; Jack Smith fail), just filed a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase and Jamie Dimond for “debanking” Trump and some of his companies, and “blackllsiting” them, that now opens him up to depositions and discovery about: a) his companies Tax Fraud convictions; b his companies and children's civil fraud judgment and court ordered monitor; c) his more than 75 felony counts of indictments, and last but not least, an alleged $8 million dollar loan into Truth Social from sources linked to Putin and a porn-industry bank in Domenica reported in the Washington Post. Popok takes a hard look at the complaint and points out that it is factually at odds with another suit filed by Trump against the WaPo in Sarasota, Florida, in 2023.
