Podcast appearances and mentions of Jamie Raskin

The week ended with a thunderous 1-2 stroke of the passage in the House of the Build Back Better Bill, arguably the most significant piece of legislation in a generation, followed by the announcement of the across-the-board acquittals in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. An all-star panel comprising CNN anchor Laura Jarrett and Congressmen Raja Krishnamoorthi and Jamie Raskin join Harry to break down both developments and place them in the broader context of the country's continuing partisan divide.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Over the weekend, folks, there was an amazing thing that happened, Mike Pence was asked who told him to buck the trend and certify the election.. it was almost as if 'the mob' wanted a name.. and the answer Pence gave was amazing. Almost concurrently, Congressman Jamie Raskin was asked about his plans in the Select Committee to "strengthen" the Electoral Count Act and his answers are equally amazing. But the real question is how many Republicans are willing to step forward and say that yes, they support strengthening the Electoral Count Act so that what we had happen on J6 (and almost happen) on J6 never happens again? #MikePence #JamieRaskin

Yesterday on Capitol Hill, the Poor People's Campaign, led by Co-Chairs Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and Rev.

Rep. Jamie Raskin took to the House floor last week to lay out exactly what is at stake in the battle of Steve Bannon's refusal to testify before the Jan. 6th Select Committee. Few members have done more to get to the bottom of what happened that day than Raskin and punish those who were responsible. Before being elected to Congress, he was a Constitutional Law Professor. It was he who led the charge to impeach former President Trump over his role in inciting the attack. But even if Raskin, who's leading the charge once again gets Bannon to testify, what will they actually learn? And what do they believe the investigation might actually uncover? Raskin himself joins to discuss.GUEST:Rep.

Filling in for Joy Reid, Tiffany Cross leads this episode of The ReidOut with the progress that will impact millions of working class Americans, as it appears that Democrats are getting close to the finish line when it comes to delivering the Build Back Better agenda. But the questions we all need answers to are: what will be in it and will it include what was promised? Then, in a bipartisan vote yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives referred Steve Bannon to the Department of Justice for charges of criminal contempt. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, a member of the Jan. 6 select committee, joins us with his account of that vote. Next, we turn to the case of Miami Police Captain Javier Ortiz, who has also been the union president of the Fraternal Order of Police in south Florida. Ortiz has been the focus of numerous headlines over allegations of excessive force, false arrests, racist social media posts, and bullying.

Congressman Jamie Raskin is a Member of Congress representing the 8th District in Maryland, the home of the worldwide headquarters of the Planetary Gigs Society, and also plays piano. So, Jefferson Glassie caught up with him to ask a few questions about music. Raskin says there was always music in his home growing up, because his father was a classical music prodigy on the piano. His father saw the world through music and it was essential to who he was, and he thought society should be organized in a way that connected people just like music does. Raskin professes that he is not a musician, but only plays by ear, fools around, and improvises on the piano, but also said his entire family plays music, so music is always around. He says that with all the issues we are having, such as the covid pandemic and the January 6 insurrectionary violence, one can despair sometimes. However, he says, “When you listen to music, you understand where humanity is actually going and what we're really capable of.” He says so many of the pathologies of our time result from people being separate, but music brings people together. Raskin says he is a big champion of science and math, but if we lose touch with literature, music, the arts, we could be headed to a dangerous place.

Sprinting star Sha'Carri Richardson was a gold medal contender for the Tokyo Olympics, which begin next Friday. But after testing positive for marijuana at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Richardson has been suspended and will miss the Games. The sprinter said she used THC to help cope with her mother's death. Congressman Jamie Raskin and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called on the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to end Richardson's suspension. While the agency said it wants to mitigate “harsh consequences” and change the rules regarding marijuana – which is not a performance-enhancing drug for sprinters – it replied that it "does not make or have a direct vote on the anti-doping rules" and it must enforce them. Critics of the suspension say it's time to address the stigma surrounding marijuana. This hour, our guests address that stigma, especially in light of the drug's legalization in New York State. Our guests: Mary Kruger, executive director of Roc NORML Jasmin Reggler , house

It's been four months since supporters of Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol building in early January in a thwarted attempt to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. While many in the Republican and Democratic political establishment hoped to move on from the failed Trumpist insurrection by characterizing it as an unrepeatable anomaly, the fact of the matter is the widespread, coordinated efforts by the right to undermine democracy continue unabated. From the grassroots to the halls of legislative power, what will it take to beat back the anti-democracy onslaught, and how can we fight to expand democracy?In this episode of “The Marc Steiner Show,” Marc and his guests examine the state of democracy in the U.S. and the intertwined fights for expanded voting rights and police accountability.

Seth takes a closer look at dozens of prominent New York Democrats calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign after a flood of sexual harassment allegations and the revelation that his administration covered up the COVID death toll in nursing homes.Then, Rep. Jamie Raskin discusses leading Donald Trump's second impeachment and shares what he thinks could have changed the outcome of the trial.

Diane talks with Rep. Jamie Raskin, Democratic Congressman from Maryland, about leading the second impeachment of Donald Trump and his hopes for the new Biden administration.

Tommy Raskin, a twenty-five-year-old law student, took his own life on New Year’s Eve, after a long battle against depression. His family laid him to rest on January 5th, and, the next day, his father went to the United States Capitol, where he serves in Congress. Representative Jamie Raskin, who represents Maryland’s Eighth District, had an enormous task ahead of him: he was mounting the defense of the Electoral College vote. When a violent mob incited by Donald Trump breached the building, Raskin’s life was in danger, along with the lives of his daughter and son-in-law, who had joined him that day for support. Just weeks later, when the House impeached Donald Trump for his role in inciting that insurrection, Raskin was the lead manager prosecuting the case. Raskin told David Remnick about the devastation of a suicide in the family, his condolence calls from President Biden and Vice-President Harris, and how he believed the entire Senate would unite to convict Donald Trump.

We know how the story went: Trump was impeached for a second time. There is a trial. He is found not guilty because there not enough votes needed to make it happen, despite the majority of the Senate voting against the former president. Lots of people have questions in regards to this process. Namely, what the hell? But also, why didn’t the Democrats forgo their right to call witnesses? Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CA) told co-host Molly Jong-Fast his perspective on things in this member-only bonus episode of The New Abnormal. “Whether it's five witnesses or 5,000 witnesses, it would not have changed the ultimate outcome,” he says, echoing Rep. Jamie Raskin has said on the issue. They did consider witnesses nonetheless, says Neguse, but to him, it came down to timing. “It was clear that other witnesses whom had been speculated about in the media in terms of potential witnesses that we could have heard from were unlikely to voluntarily comply and voluntarily appear, which meant we would have to issue subpoenas. And they could very well contest those subpoenas in court,” he says. Ultimately, he feels the point was made, and everyone knows Trump was responsible: “That is something that obviously was crystal clear by virtue of the evidence that we showed during the course of the trial, which of course the American public had a chance to see as well.” He shares his own experience during the Capitol insurrection, including the moment he realized things had gotten bad. “I texted my wife and told her that, uh, I loved her and our daughter,” he says. Plus! He and Molly discuss what plans the House has to make sure this doesn’t happen again and that people in power are held responsible. And is Medicare for All and federal legalization of marijuana on the horizon?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tommy Raskin, a twenty-five-year-old law student, took his own life on New Year’s Eve, after a long battle against depression. His family laid him to rest on January 5th, and, the next day, his father went to the United States Capitol, where he serves in Congress. Representative Jamie Raskin, who represents Maryland’s Eighth District, had an enormous task ahead of him: he was mounting the defense of the Electoral College vote. When a violent mob incited by Donald Trump breached the building, Raskin’s life was in danger, along with the lives of his daughter and son-in-law, who had joined him that day for support. Just weeks later, when the House impeached Donald Trump for his role in inciting that insurrection, Raskin was the lead manager prosecuting the case. Raskin told David Remnick about the devastation of a suicide in the family, his condolence calls from President Biden and Vice-President Harris, and how he believed the entire Senate would unite to convict Donald Trump.

House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin delivered a speech during Trump's impeachment trial last week in which he made a direct appeal to reality: “Democracy needs a ground to stand upon,” he said. “And that ground is the truth." There's a lot of demand for reckoning in America right now. Cities around the country are debating and in some cases instituting some forms of reparations for Black residents. Last June, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) introduced a bill to establish a “United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation,” which has gained 169 co-sponsors. In December, even anchor Chuck Todd asked his guests on “Meet the Press” about the political prospects for a national Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The calls for a rigorous public accounting of Trump-era misdeeds reached a crescendo in the aftermath of the violent attack on the Capitol in January: the impeachment proceedings against the former president became, all of a sudden, the de facto court for establishing the reality of the 2020 election results, even as Republican lawmakers voted to acquit. It raised the fundamental question: How do we establish the truth, amid a war on truth itself? On today's episode of the Mother Jones Podcast, journalists Shaun Assael and Peter Keating share their deep reporting into the history of the "truth and reconciliation" movement, here and abroad, and what we can learn from its promises and pitfalls—presenting a realistic view of their effectiveness as building blocks for reality, rather than magic bullets. “There can be no reconciliation before justice,” Keating says. Keep an eye out for their written investigation, appearing later this week at motherjones.com.

On today's Bulwark Podcast, Peter Hamby joins Charlie Sykes to discuss Impeachment 2.0, the Democrats' Sizzle Reel and the GOP's whataboutism play, and the repositioning of Nikki Haley. Special Guest: Peter Hamby.

Tonight: How House managers use the attack on police and Trump's betrayal of Mike Pence to drive home their case. Then, why an admission from Sen. Tommy Tuberville could come back to haunt the defense. Plus, will any of it matter to jurors that at one point recognized the danger of Trump?

As the historic second impeachment trial continues, the case is made by the managers of the history of violence incited by Trump before the attack on the US capitol. With presentations by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado, and Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas.

Jamie Raskin and the Impeachment Managers put on a great show but is it constitutional? See my analysis on the Dershow. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PODCAST SUMMARY HOUR 1: Brett Winterble guest hosts for Rush on Wednesday. Capitol riot not in doubt, the culpability is. Impeachment trial is religious zealotry. There’s no direct connection from Trump to attack. Democrats use Jan. 6 acts to flip script on Republicans. Jamie Raskin better than Schiff and Nadler at impeachment. Dems hail Founders that they otherwise wish to cancel. Leftists on Discord admit they infiltrated rally and incited violence. Long game of impeachment. A tale of two realities. Washington is force. It’s all about control. Guilt by association. PODCAST SUMMARY HOUR 2: Joaquin Castro’s incitement. Dirty little secret for impeachment managers. John Sullivan incites violence but Democrats use his footage for trial. Eric Swalwell’s Chinese penetration is fair game. Bill Cassidy virtue signals after impeachment vote. Mark Cuban panders to China and the woke, ditches Star-Spangled Banner. Dems repeat the same things over and over at trial. Sullivan has more capability than Trump. Colin Kaepernick’s social justice SPAC. We, the people, should remain patriotic. Trump impeached for having a different opinion. PODCAST SUMMARY HOUR 3: An overwhelming majority did not storm the Capitol. The left’s fear. Legitimate questions. It’s about dollars in coffers, not opening up schools. Dirty little secret: Teachers unions feel safer at home. Rush is right again! Salesforce says 9 to 5 workday is dead. Underwhelming Trump attorneys. Another 9/11? No, the Capitol riot was another Benghazi. The Great American MacGuffin. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. A first 100 days to crash and burn. If we stay united, we can’t lose this fight.

Amanda and Kaitlin react to the first day of Trump’s second impeachment trial, from House Impeachment managers’ emotional case against the former president to the Trump team’s shocking display of ineptitude. They listen to Rep. Jamie Raskin’s opening argument and talk about the collective trauma we’re all feeling from reliving that terrifying day and roast Bruce Castor’s freshman drama class monologue. Finally, Kaitlin describes watching lawmakers she knew as a child run for their lives from an angry white mob.

Tears on the Senate floor. Shocking footage of the insurrection. A bumbling and widely panned performance by Donald Trump's legal team. The former president's second impeachment has now moved to trial, and House Democrats came prepared. A little over one month after a riotous mob laid siege to the very chamber in which the trial was now taking place, Democrats presented such a damning trail of evidence that that it caused one GOP senator, Bill Cassidy, to change his vote on the trial's constitutionality. Mother Jones national political reporter Pema Levy joins Jamilah King from DC to recap and explain what went down on Day One. Pema explains how the House impeachment managers, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, a constitutional scholar, will set out to prove Trump responsible for the deadly attack. Meanwhile, Republican Senators are expected to try to wiggle out of the toxic political shadow of their former president by sticking to an argument that the proceedings are unconstitutional, letting Trump get off scot-free. Trump's acquittal is all but a foregone conclusion, and the trial is expected to be an unusually swift one. But as Pema explains, what happens over the next week or so will still be incredibly consequential and perhaps even more damaging for Republicans than Trump's first impeachment.

Tonight: New evidence of how bad the threat to democracy was—and is. Plus, an exclusive interview with Congressman Jamie Raskin, the man who will lead the prosecution during the second trial of Donald J. Trump. Then, how the word "unity" is being weaponized to block a wildly popular Covid rescue bill.

Politico reports that some congressional Republicans are backing impeachment. And the Washington Post explains the rift that has emerged between President Trump and Vice President Pence. The Wall Street Journal looks into several people who participated in the Capitol riots to paint a fuller picture of those who stormed the building. CNN explains the Trump administration’s new plan to distribute COVID-19 vaccines. In the Washington Post, doctors Robert Wachter and Ashish Jha argue that the United States should delay the vaccines’ second doses. The Atlantic talks to Rep. Jamie Raskin, who lost his son to suicide on New Year’s Eve and is now leading the case to impeach Trump.
