Podcast appearances and mentions of Josh Shapiro

Jen Psaki shares highlights from the most bizarre and obnoxious testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, or any committee, in recent memory in which Pam Bondi blurted and shouted like a deranged A.I. bot in a desperate effort to avoid addressing her department's Epstein scandal.  Rep. Jamie Raskin discusses the effort to get transparency and accountability with the Epstein files.Donald Trump may have thought that Jeanine Pirro's cartoonish belligerence on Fox News would make her a strong advocate for his political interests as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. So far, however, Pirro's incompetence has Trump's various political vendettas into legal humiliations. Rep. Chris Deluzio, whom Pirro failed to indict despite a lot of tough threatening talk from Trump, talks with Jen Psaki about the ridiculousness of the failed case against him.Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro discusses Donald Trump's increasingly aggressive efforts to hijack the U.S. elections system.

Michael sits down with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to discuss his new memoir, "Where We Keep the Light: Stories from a Life of Service." Shapiro reflects on the values that shaped him—faith, family, and public service—and opens up about the defining moments of his life and career. From a traumatic arson attack on the Governor's Residence to leading the investigation that exposed widespread abuse within the Catholic Church, Shapiro shares deeply personal stories about resilience, leadership, and moral responsibility. The conversation also explores mental health, political courage, campus protests, bipartisan governance, and the role his wife, Lori, plays in grounding his decisions. It's a candid and wide-ranging discussion about service, conviction, and finding light in the darkest moments. Original air date 10 February 2026. The book was published on 27 January 2026.

Gov. Josh Shapiro has plenty of dark experiences that he could recount in his new memoir, Where We Keep the Light. In his first term as Pennsylvania's governor, he investigated abuse within the Catholic Church and was the victim of an arson attack in his own home. But as Shapiro eyes a second term in Pennsylvania, he says he's choosing to focus on the light. In today's episode Shapiro sits down with NPR's Scott Detrow, and the two discuss the power of local civic engagement — including how small communities can produce big change. To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Gov. Josh Shapiro on Tuesday unveiled a 53-billion-dollar state budget for the fiscal year that begins July first, the final budget proposal of Shapiro's term. Under the governor's plan, the spending gap would be made up by tapping into the state's rainy-day fund. Increasing public school funding is the big ticket item in the governor’s budget. But it’s not the only school policy he has in mind. Republicans in the state Senate say that Governor Josh Shapiro’s budget proposal would threaten Pennsylvania’s financial future if enacted. Republican Congressman Lloyd Smucker of Lancaster and York counties is suing Lancaster’s main newspaper.

This is the episode we've been waiting fifteen years to make. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has reportedly issued subpoenas to the Philadelphia Police Department, the Medical Examiner's Office, and other agencies—including the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office that Josh Shapiro ran when the case sat on his desk for four years.Sources tell the Philadelphia Inquirer this isn't about how Ellen Greenberg died. It's about whether the people who handled her case committed federal crimes.Ellen was found with twenty stab wounds, ten to the back of her neck, a knife lodged four inches into her chest. The medical examiner ruled it homicide. Then police objected. Then the ruling changed to suicide. Then the crime scene was cleaned—with police permission—before detectives could process it. Then James Schwartzman, Samuel Goldberg's uncle and Chairman of the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board, removed laptops and phones from the apartment. Those devices later became the basis for the official suicide narrative—even though the original report said no suicidal searches were found.Now federal prosecutors want to know what happened. The statutes they're working with carry penalties up to life in prison. Deprivation of rights under color of law. Evidence tampering. Obstruction. Conspiracy.Governor Shapiro has presidential ambitions. His former spokesperson now works for Philadelphia's mayor. Schwartzman sits on the bench as a Pennsylvania judge. None of them have been charged—but all of them may have to answer uncomfortable questions to people who can compel the truth.The Greenbergs waited fifteen years for someone outside Philadelphia to take this seriously.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Who's right: Philly DA Larry Krasner who called ICE 'wannabe Nazis,' or Gov. Josh Shapiro who said that comment was 'abhorrent'?" Michael looks at the explosive rhetoric surrounding Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's remarks comparing ICE agents to Nazis — and the swift backlash from Democratic leaders including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator John Fetterman. Is invoking Nazism ever appropriate in modern political debate, or does it dangerously dilute historical reality? Drawing on history, media reactions, and cultural comparisons, Michael explains why this controversy strikes a deeper nerve — and why today's poll question matters.

Subpoenas are going out. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is reportedly investigating whether people who handled Ellen Greenberg's case committed crimes — not whether she was murdered, but whether the investigation itself was corrupted. Robin Dreeke, former FBI special agent and behavioral analysis expert, explains the federal playbook: what simultaneous subpoenas to multiple agencies signal, how investigators identify who's likely to flip first, and what behavioral patterns emerge when institutions are hiding something. The crime scene was cleaned before detectives could execute a warrant. A politically connected family member removed electronic devices. The medical examiner changed his ruling from homicide to suicide after police pressure — then recanted that ruling under oath fourteen years later. Josh Shapiro's Attorney General office held the case for four years before discovering an "appearance of conflict" with connected families. Robin breaks down what that language actually means, why institutional silence from every agency is telling, and what the Greenberg family's attorney calling this "a dream come true" reveals about where the investigation is headed.#EllenGreenberg #FederalInvestigation #RobinDreeke #FBI #Philadelphia #SamGoldberg #TrueCrime #CoverUp #JusticeForEllen #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
