Christina Elson, Director of the Wake Forest Center for the Study of Capitalism, and Richard Levick bring together media veterans Kurt Bardella, an MSNBC contributor, Ray Locker, a USA Today editor and book author, Alice Stewart, a CNN contributor and Michael Zeldin, a CNN legal contributor, to discuss the challenges to media in the 21st Century and allegations of media bias.

When General Alexander M. Haig Jr. returned to the White House on May 3, 1973, he found the Nixon administration in worse shape than he had imagined. President Richard Nixon, reelected in an overwhelming landslide just six months earlier, had accepted the resignations of his top aides—the chief of staff H. R. Haldeman and the domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman—just three days earlier. Haldeman and Ehrlichman had enforced the president's will and protected him from his rivals and his worst instincts for four years. Without them, Nixon stood alone, backed by a staff that lacked gravitas and confidence as the Watergate scandal snowballed. Nixon needed a savior, someone who would lift his fortunes while keeping his White House from blowing apart. He hoped that savior would be his deputy national security adviser, Alexander Haig, whom he appointed chief of staff. But Haig's goal was not to keep Nixon in office—it was to remove him. In Haig's Coup, Ray Locker uses recently declassified documents to tell the true story of how Haig orchestrated Nixon's demise, resignation, and subsequent pardon. A story of intrigues, cover-ups, and treachery, this incisive history shows how Haig engineered the “soft coup” that ended our long national nightmare and brought Watergate to an end.

Author Ray Locker joins S.T. Patrick to discuss the new book, Haig's Coup: How Richard Nixon's Closest Aide Forced Him From Office. Locker delves into the role of General Alexander Haig in the administration of Richard Nixon. In this episode, Locker and Patrick cover Haig's actions through the end of May 1973. Was Al Haig a major player in the downfall of Nixon? This is part one of a two-part episode on Haig's Coup. Ray Locker was previously on the Midnight Writer News Show in episode 037 discussing Nixon's Gamble, his first book, the story of how Richard Nixon set up a new national security establishment that would create the conditions under which the Moorer-Radford spy ring took place. And yes, Haig was involved there, as well.For our FREE archives, go to www.MidnightWriterNews.com

We are starting to hear the Democrats raise their voices about starting impeachment hearings. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi continue to downplay it, but if public sentiment starts calling for it, they may very well go down this path. Stay tuned. Donald Trump has no idea what he's doing with regards to the trade war with China. He is doing serious damage to American manufacturing with his tariff battle. At what point does this become too much?We talk to Politico's Laura Barron-Lopez, Ray Locker, the author of Haig's Coup and Strategic Partnerships Director for End Citizens United Adam Smith!

We have a summary of the Mueller Report and there was no collusion and no obstruction. While Mueller said there were many disturbing things around Trump and Russia, there is nothing that they can prove. Trump and his associates immediately claimed victory (shock), but there are still plenty of problems facing Trump. Now, what will Democrats do? Rep Jerry Nadler has already indicated that they may subpoena AG Bill Barr and/or Robert Mueller himself. So this is not over. We talk to Politico's Christopher Cadelago, author Ray Locker and The Hill's Juliegrace Brufke!

There was another rambling, nonsensical speech by the president on Friday in which he declared a national emergency over the souther border of the United States. In the conference, he admitted that he didn't HAVE to do it, he just wanted to do it "faster," he referenced the conservative pundits who keep influencing his policy decisions and made zero sense. In other words, just another day in the life of the American presidency under Donald Trump.Andrew McCabe gave a bombshell interview to 60 Minutes where he said that they actually discussed using the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office. No one has had the courage to do anything about it..... yet. We talk to Executive Director and Founder of American Oversight Austin Evers, Author of "Nixon's Gamble" and "Haig's Coup: How Richard Nixon's Closest Aide Forced Him From Office," Ray Locker and Capitol Hill Reporter for The Hill, Juliegrace Brufke.

After all the votes were counted in Arizona, Democrats pick up yet another Senate seat. Kyrsten Sinema defeated Martha McSally in a VERY close race. What originally looked to be a bad night for Senate Democrats is now looking.... much better! Now let's get Florida and Mississippi! Plus, we continue to march towards a constitutional crisis with Trump's acting Attorney General. Will Republicans do anything to help stop it? We talk to Rebekah Entralgo from ThinkProgress, journalist Ray Locker and Max Bergmann from the Moscow Project.

After being sworn in as president, Richard Nixon told the assembled crowd that "government will listen...Those who have been left out, we will try to bring in." But that same day, he obliterated those pledges of greater citizen control of government by signing National Security Decision Memorandum 2, a document that made sweeping changes to the national security power structure. Nixon's signature erased the influence that the Departments of State and Defense, as well as the CIA, had over Vietnam and the course of the Cold War. The new structure put Nixon at the center, surrounded by loyal aides and a new national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, who coordinated policy through the National Security Council under Nixon's command. Using years of research and revelations from newly released documents, USA Today reporter Ray Locker upends much of the conventional wisdom about the Nixon administration and its impact and shows how the creation of this secret, unprecedented, extra-constitutional government undermined US policy and values. In doing so, Nixon sowed the seeds of his own destruction by creating a climate of secrecy, paranoia, and reprisal that still affects Washington See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bill Press sits down to discuss the latest Trump action: stripping Brennan of his security clearance.
