NYT Bestselling author and former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissman joins Donny to break down his explosive new book Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America — and the bold legal reforms he says could protect American democracy for generations. Andrew Weissman — former lead prosecutor on the Mueller Special Counsel investigation, ex-General Counsel of the FBI, and 15-year federal prosecutor — pulls no punches on the weaponization of the Justice Department, political lies, and what real structural reform looks like. In this episode: Why Weissman's original publisher dropped his book after Trump's executive order — and why that backfired His proposal to raise the grand jury indictment standard to stop retributive, politically motivated prosecutions The Truth in Elections Act — how countries like Germany, France, and Brazil criminalize deliberate election lies, and why the U.S. should too The First Amendment argument against regulating political speech — and why Weissman says it doesn't hold up What a German court's Holocaust denial ruling reveals about protecting democracy from dangerous lies Whether Trumpism survives Trump — and the structural reforms needed before the next authoritarian playbook is run Whether you're a political junkie, legal nerd, or just a concerned American, this conversation is essential listening.

It's time you know the truth.Dr. Scott Atlas says “Doctor” Tony Fauci said people weren't afraid enough. Two of the biggest liars in American history. Fauci and Obama2020. Scott Pelley interviews Peter Daszak, the man whose company was being funded by Fauci and who was complicit in the virus being created and leaked from the lab in Wuhan. Pelley was already convinced that the virus occurred naturally. Pelley's focus was on Trump ending funding to Daszak's companies and the "danger" it might cause. Hey Scott Pelley, look at yourself. See what a fvcking idiot you are?The Intel Community did NOT want you seeing this video!! Here's former EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak talking about his “colleagues in China” manipulating spike proteins on Covid! Someone in the IC flagged this Rumble video in an email. I wonder why….Democrats in 2024: "There is no evidence to suggest that Dr. Fauci lied about funding gain of function research in Wuhan, China.” They straight-up lied to the American people.Under oath, Tony Fauci admitted the insane 6ft rule “just sort of appeared” and he claimed it wasn't from him. In public, Tony Fauci spoke the 6ft rule as part of his evil gospel. Fauci CALLED RFK Jr. a LIAR for telling the truth about untested vaccines — then got SUED and FORCED to ADMIT RFK was RIGHT!Senator Ron Johnson: “This is a MAJOR SCANDAL! Hundreds of thousands of people are permanently disabled or lost their life because our FDA ignored the COVID injection harms.” Hundreds of thousands.   Permanently disabled.  Dead. 

We can't ever forget the insanity of the COVID era. The ringleader of it all was Dr. Fauci, who Tulsi Gabbard has proven to be a liar once again. The Bible is clear; there is never a good lie.

Most people who grew up in church have never actually met the real Jesus — not the real one.They've met Therapist Jesus. Political Jesus. Mascot Jesus. In this episode, we set those substitutes aside and go back to the Gospels to meet the real Jesus — the one who emptied rooms with his words, claimed to be God to his own people's faces, and ate dinner with everyone the religious establishment had written off.This is the final episode in our 3-part series:Pride Month → Hell & Judgment → The Real Jesus.In this video:

CME Group filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Chairman Michael Selig. The suit challenges the regulator's recent decision to approve perpetual futures for Kalshi and Coinbase, arguing that these 24/7 contracts are legally swaps rather than futures.

Some stories don't just inspire you — they reroute your whole calling. This summer, I'm bringing back one of the episodes that changed everything for me. If you listened to Fear Is a Liar back in June, you remember the couple whose testimony stopped me from shutting this podcast down altogether. When I was ready to pack up the mic and call it quits, their story reminded me why Building Strong Homes exists in the first place — so real people can share real God stories that strengthen all of us. Today we're revisiting Glen and Kelly Daigle's journey — a story that proves God can take the darkest diagnoses, the deepest depressions, and the most tangled pasts and build something stronger, steadier, and more joy‑filled than we ever imagined. You wouldn't think a breast cancer diagnosis would lead a couple into a marriage that was more joyful than they could have ever imagined, but that's what happened with Glen and Kelly Daigle. They had both been married before they met and were ready for a fresh start, having each gone through difficulties with drugs and alcohol. Glen had recently finished a self-admitted time in rehab for alcohol addiction and Kelly was looking for a man who'd been married, didn't have children and loved the Lord. Since Glen met all three requirements they dated and eventually married. But everything wasn't all rainbows and hearts. Glen spiraled into such a deep depression Kelly says many days she prayed she wouldn't come home to find that her husband had committed suicide. After Glen found help from counseling their lives were okay, but still not great. Neither of them had a strong relationship with God, they just did the bare minimum. Until Kelly's breast cancer diagnosis. Something changed in both of them as they realized the only thing they had to hold on to was Jesus, and they weren't letting Him go. There are so many ways that God showed up in each of their journeys that there's no denying the Hound of Heaven was pursuing them from the very beginning. If you feel like you've messed up so badly that there's no promise of hope in your life anymore, this episode is for you. Song that made such an impact on Glen: At This Point in My Life by Tracy Chapman Episode mention in this podcast Fear is a Liar Watch on YouTube No One is Too Far Gone for God to Use with Glen and Kelly Daigle Take the quiz, "What Type of Home Are You Building?", because so many women feel the tension in their home but can't quite name what's causing it. This quiz does that for you. It pinpoints the patterns shaping your home and gives you a clear next step toward the kind of home you want to build. If you've been feeling stuck, this will help you get unstuck. What if one weekend could breathe life back into the parts of you that feel worn thin? This October, I'm hosting The Flourish Retreat in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina — and I want you to come with me. If you're a wife or mom who's been pouring out for everyone else, this is your invitation to step away, exhale, and let God pour back into you. Find out more at the link.

Craig goes off on Big Twelve commissioner Brett Yormark, calling him a "two-faced liar" for failing to stick up for 22-year-old quarterback Brendan Sorsby. After being punished for a gambling issue and losing a $5 million NIL deal, Sorsby is entering the NFL Supplemental Draft—a process that hasn't seen a single player selected since 2019. Craig, opening up about his own sensitivities to gambling addiction, breaks down exactly why teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, or New York Jets should absolutely risk a high draft pick to secure this first-round talent right now!

What if the key to smarter business decisions isn't more data, but knowing when to trust yourself over the algorithm? In this episode, Sean sits down with Robert Indries, a builder and investor who was working with large language models back in 2016, long before AI became a boardroom buzzword. Robert shares why, despite his deep technical background, he still believes human intuition catches what AI cannot, especially when it comes to detecting deception during company acquisitions. You'll hear how his team uses a rigorous due diligence process of up to 170 questions to surface hidden problems before they become costly headaches, and why the best questions on that list came directly from painful past experience. Robert also breaks down how he thinks about failure tolerance in acquisitions, including why growing a company's value before a black swan event can mean the difference between a loss and getting your money back.──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

“The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!”  “I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”  “There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!”  These and other statements by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection that attempted to topple our democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. MS NOW legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann says they are part of the scourge of political lies in America, and in his new book Liar's Kingdom, he issues a call to prevent a figure like Donald Trump from ever rising again. He says that the Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own. Weissmann says our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system—one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look beyond our borders to other countries that have already confronted this crisis. Can American politics come clean?

Taylor Lorenz (User Mag) tells us about the platform where crypto speculators pay strangers to do almost anything in service of pumping their coin's value: Pump.fun Go. But Taylor argues this is bigger than a weird internet rabbit hole — it’s a burgeoning ‘bounty economy,’ that’s quietly warping reality itself. Then: Sriram Krishnan, the Senior White House Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence, is leaving the White House. Nitasha Tiku (The Washington Post) explains his impact, what this means for the future of federal tech policy and who is jostling for influence in his place. Finally, Kyle Chayka (The New Yorker) on the ‘show’-ification of everything. Even the tech industry is getting into the game, literally. The Founders Fund just bankrolled a slick YouTube series where tech billionaires like Sam Altman and Palmer Luckey play Mafia, the parlor game. It’s bizarre.

On Tuesday, June 2, truth, accountability, and the future of American democracy took center stage in BigTentUSA's conversation with Andrew Weissmann –"MS NOW" legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor. Moderated by Reed Galen of The Union, Weissmann discussed themes from his new book "Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America", arguing that the growing normalization of political lies poses a serious threat to democratic institutions. He highlighted a key contradiction in American law: while lies in business, courtrooms, and congressional testimony can carry legal consequences, political lies often do not.Weissmann emphasized that restoring trust requires more than defending old norms. He called for stronger legal safeguards, reforms to prevent the weaponization of government power, and greater transparency from institutions such as the Department of Justice. He also argued that future leaders must be willing to confront past abuses rather than simply “look forward,” warning that accountability is essential to preserving the rule of law.The conversation ended with a clear challenge: democracy is not self-executing, and protecting it requires public engagement, institutional reform, and a refusal to accept corruption or dishonesty as normal.Learn more about Andrew's new book “Liar's Kingdom”:https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andrew-weissmann/liars-kingdom/9780316601306/ Check out Andrew's Substack newsletter “Behind the Headlines” and listen to his podcast “Main Justice”: https://weissmann.substack.com/https://www.ms.now/main-justiceLearn more about Reed's projects The Union, The Lincoln Project, and his latest Civic Forum here:https://www.jointheunion.us/https://lincolnproject.us/https://www.civicforum.org/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Andrew Weissmann is an NYU Law School professor and widely respected legal analyst on "MS NOW".

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThe results from California are (mostly? almost completely?) in. They are mixed, and extremely consistent with pre-election polling. Naturally, Republicans are subjecting the country to a blizzard of lies. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* The results, and the merits of the California election system, which maximizes ballot access, but at the expense of quick ballot counting.* What should California Democrats, and the national party, do about the scourge of GOP election lies?* Would Democrats really have been better off if they'd managed to lock Steve Hilton out of the governor's race, like they locked Spencer Pratt out of the LA mayor's race?Then, how do you solve a problem like Graham Platner? How do you catch an oyster, and snarf it down? How embellished is his self-depiction as a blue-collar outsider? How consistent is a clear, chronological recitation of his checkered past with his redemption story? Are we even anywhere near the point where it would make sense for Democratic voters in Maine to stay home or vote for Susan Collins, rather than Vote Blue No Matter Who as a harm-reduction strategy? The answer to the last question is “no,” but the answers to the rest are available in full to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Matt's 17 thoughts about Graham Platner, from before the latest developments. * Brian argues California Dems should streamline their election process and simultaneously disqualify proven election liars from ballots in the state. * Andrew Weissmann's Liar's Kingdom.* Brian's 2017 piece on the pitfall of embracing “believe all women” as a political standard (tl;dr, some women are committed Trump loyalists with MAGA ethics).

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann spent years inside some of the country's most consequential investigations, from the Justice Department's fraud unit to Robert Mueller's election interference investigation. In his new book “Liar's Kingdom,” Weissman argues the U.S. needs new laws to stem the corrosive effects of political deception. We talk with Weissmann about his case for reform and how we can make our democratic institutions more resilient. We'll also talk to him about efforts to stop the Trump administration's $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund and recent upheavals at the Department of Justice.

One of the challenges of modern legal journalism is recalling that case law, doctrine, and Supreme Court decisions aren't a complete picture, without including the lived realities of the people whose lives and communities are often turned upside down by changes in the law.On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court's far-right flank vastly expanded its holding in Louisiana v. Callais to make it harder, if not impossible, to challenge racist voting maps designed to suppress Black votes. The shadow-docket decision misrepresented its own holding in Callais and discarded a case it had already decided. With the conservative supermajority tossing a lower-court panel's finding in Allen v. Milligan and further erasing voting rights for Black Americans across the country, Amicus revisits our 2022 conversation with Evan Milligan, the named plaintiff, at the time the case first came to the high court. Milligan explained what's at stake for the very real people living in gerrymandered districts in Alabama's Black Belt region; a gerrymander blessed this week that was forbidden just three years ago.Later, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Andrew Weissmann, an MS NOW legal analyst, NYU law professor, and veteran federal prosecutor who served as lead prosecutor under special counsel Robert S. Mueller and as chief of the DOJ's Fraud Section. Even with Opinionpalooza heating up at the high court, Weissmann pauses to analyze a busy week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill. And, Weissmann proposes something truly shocking— real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America.

The remarkable, true story of an unusual childhood, complete with gangsters, guns, diamonds, drug smuggling, and fraud—just like any other little girl's life.At twelve years old, Leslie Bradford-Scott watched police cars swarm her family's suburban home in Ontario. Hours later, she, her mom, and her grandmother were fleeing across the border into Florida with no explanation and no questions allowed. In an instant, her idyllic childhood turned into a maelstrom of grift, guns, and tragedy.Decades later, Leslie's mother handed her a blue binder—her father's secret prison manuscript dubbed the Liar's Playbook. Inside was a confession to trafficking goods, running arms, and playing both sides between international intelligence and the mafia. For most of her life, Leslie believed her father was a drug dealer with delusions of grandeur. Instead, she discovered a shadow world of espionage, organized crime, and explosive family secrets, including her father's claim that he smuggled jewels to fund CIA-backed operations for the Contras. Her investigation leads to Hamilton's violent “Bomb City” era, where mobsters like the Musitanos settled scores with dynamite, and some of the blood trails lead straight to her family.Part true-crime thriller, part intimate memoir, The Liar's Playbook tracks a daughter's search for truth through unreliable memories, corrupt intelligence agents, and the long echo of her father's double life. As she pieces together what really happened, Leslie must ask the one question that still haunts her: Can you forgive someone whose actions nearly destroyed you?https://amzn.to/4vCvjTXBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
