On Iran, Hawk recaps the collapse of the Switzerland talks with JD Vance after Trump threatened the Iranian delegation on social media, and raises the point that Lebanon and Israel are not signatories to any negotiations despite being central parties to the ongoing conflict. He also covers the Supreme Court's new gun ruling tied to marijuana use, referencing commentary from Michael Popok, Lisa Graves, and Slate's Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern on Neil Gorsuch's reasoning. Hawk addresses the UFC fighter's remarks about Kamala Harris made at a White House event alongside Joe Rogan, and closes with election analyst Larry Sabato's outlook on 2026 Republican turnout, including Trump's successful primary purges of Thomas Massey, John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Tom Tillis.

Chief Justice John Roberts famously told the country that, if confirmed to the Supreme Court, he would act like an umpire—just there to call balls and strikes. To help answer the question of how Umpire Roberts Court has fared, Harry spoke with Lisa Graves about her new book, Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights, in which Graves makes the case that Roberts has acted less as an umpire than a political loyalist. In the conversation, Harry and Lisa discuss Roberts's background as a movement conservative at DOJ, his nomination and ascension as Chief Justice, and his tenure now entering its third decade. They also delve into the modern Federalist Society, unpacking how Roberts and his fellow conservative justices align—or don't—with its ideology. With the Supreme Court wielding unprecedented influence over American policy, this discussion provides a clear look at how we arrived at the Court we have today.

Lisa Graves joins to discuss Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights—from court "capture" networks to why she sees the recent immunity ruling and emergency-docket moves as system-tilting, not umpiring. She and our host spar over what counts as a "constitutional crisis," contrasting TRO reversals and precedent-scrapping with the break-glass scenario of outright defiance. Also: the Young Republicans' Hitler-meme leak and J.D. Vance's defenses...in song! Plus: New York's mayoral debate—Zohran Mamdani vs. Andrew Cuomo, on prostitution, Jews, and parades.

The Supreme Court appears ready to overturn the last remaining provision of the Voting Rights Act, a civil rights law meant to undo Jim Crow-era policies that disenfranchised Black voters. This week, the court heard oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais over the state's redistricting map. The case was brought by a group of self-described "non-African-American voters" who argue the creation of Louisiana's second majority-Black congressional district violates the Constitution. Marisa and Scott are joined in studio by Lisa Graves, a former senior Justice Department official and executive director of the progressive watchdog group True North Research. Graves' new book "Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights" ties the rolling back of civil rights to the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts.

Hoosier Ag Today is proud to partner with Purdue Extension to bring you “Your Health”—a new podcast to let you know of the many programs and benefits that Purdue University Health and Human Sciences Extension (HHS) is offering for you and your family. Greg Allen chats with Dr. Lisa Graves, Interim HHS Program Leader and Interim Assistant Director of Purdue Extension, of the health education and signature programs that are available throughout all of Indiana.
Have you ever wondered why the rich and powerful seem to have so many opinions about public education, especially when neither they nor their children have attended public schools? This is the first of a two-part series exploring how the rich and powerful are cashing out on public education. Today, we're looking at the big picture: the historical, decades-long agenda by wealthy donors and corporate interests to privatize schools, weaken unions, and limit what educators can teach. Our guest is **Lisa Graves,** founder and Executive Director of True North Research.
Dina Doll and Lisa Graves guest host the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF and break down this week's most explosive legal and political developments at the intersection of law and democracy, including: 1) the latest Epstein chaos, as the DOJ fights a major appeal while internal turmoil erupts with ethics-related firings and resignations; 2) a dramatic update out of Los Angeles, where a judge halts Trump's ICE operation, triggering an emergency appeal and a sudden move by Trump to pull federal troops; 3) Trump's escalating effort to purge federal appointees—including a push to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—as the Supreme Court hands down a shocking ruling on mass federal firings; and 4) new developments in the Abrego Garcia case, where the courts continue to push back against Trump-era abuses of power. All that and more on the podcast that exposes the legal chaos threatening American democracy.

Ethics are important to Republicans ONLY when it's a Democrat engaging in questionable behaviors. That's more evident every day. But it cuts much deeper... they're quick to call out anything a Democrat does, like nodding off in an all-night hearing. But they have no problem with it's a Republican. It seemed like all we heard from them during the Biden administration was "the Biden 'crime family' is capitalizing on the president's office." But they're notoriously silent about the massive grift by Trump and his spawn -- from a luxury flying palace to golf courses and Trump Towers (sic) in middle eastern countries and multi billion dollar investments into companies and schemes to directly enrich the family! But don't you dare to try to legally apply for asylum in the US. They'll have you shipped out to a foreign concentration camp and imprisoned for life! Today I'll recount some of those sickening stories and talk to my favorite legal expert Lisa Graves to ask WTAF?

After a break yesterday for a fun show about music and reliving the good old days, it's back to the real world today. The news is insane, from the orange one playing games with the world's economies, tariff roulette, SCOTUS & judicial uncertainty and more questions than we can reasonably answer. But we'll try.Today, we'll catch up with Lisa Graves, the Nicole Sandler Show's legal expert, who joins us in her personal capacity as a concerned citizen who's got the legal bona fides to back up her information and opinions. A big welcome to Randi Rhodes listeners who I hope will come join us more often now that Randi is retiring. We're here, for the time being, anyway...
Senator Cory Booker stood up yesterday - actually, the day before - an made history. Not only did he break former senator and lifelong racist Strom Thurmond's record for the longest senate speech in history, he also used it to denounce Thurmond's racism and the shameful chapter in American history he tried to prolong. Booker's speech and feats of strength also seems to have breathed new life into dejected Democrats, as he implored each of us to do what we can to save our nation from the ravages of Dump and his army of magats.When Senator Booker ended his historic speech, the special election returns began rolling in. Florida disappointed us again, eventhough the margin of the GOP victory shrunk by half in the two districts that went to the polls. But Wisconsin showed up to save democracy, as the Musk/Dump-endorsed candidate for that state's Supreme Court was soundly defeated by Susan Crawford, with a 10 point victory. For once, Elmo's millions couldn't buy that election...As I'm prepping for today's show, we're awaiting word from the orange man about how much more pain and suffering he'll inflict on the America people today as he declares it "liberation day" and announces yet more tariff's to cripple our economy and our spending power. The always amazing Lisa Graves joins us today in her personal capacity to share her legal expertise on all that's going on, especially the big WIN in Wisconsin, where she lives.
