An ICE agent murdered an American citizen – shot her in the face. DHS of course blamed the victim and called the residents “rioters” even though the grisly videos disprove the administration's statement. We'll have more on the Thursday show.

In this special New Year episode - John shares his latest episode of his podcast with Professor Corey Brettschneider - The Oath and the Office. They start with the Supreme Court checking Trump on using the National Guard—why it matters, and whether the Insurrection Act is the next risk. That ruling is their doorway into a 2025 Year in Review: where they revisit Trump's most dangerous attacks on the Constitution, and the guardrails that barely held. Next, they break down Judge James Boasberg's escalating confrontation with the administration over deportations tied to the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Can the government claim people sent to Venezuela have no due process rights? And can courts be told it's “too late” once they're out of the country? They explain what the Constitution requires and what's at stake for the rule of law. Finally, they turn to Florida, where Ron DeSantis's remake of New College offers a blueprint for a broader war on education—replacing what they label “woke” with enforced ideology, down to symbolic culture-war moves like honoring Charlie Kirk.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John talks about the lead up to the release of the Epstein files. He also discusses Trump talking about his Venezuela War plans. Then, he interviews Christina Faith Johnson who is a true multi-hyphenate: a director, writer, producer, and mentor on a mission to tell bold stories that spark change and inspire action. Christina founded the production company "The Grindhouse Inc" with an aim to make impactful films and mentor rising creatives. In the last two years, TV and film production in L.A. dropped by 22% as studios fled to other states and countries with more space, more tax incentives and no wildfire season. Legislators in Pennsylvania want to compete with states like Georgia and New Jersey – who have seen hundreds of millions in investment from major studios. State Rep. Andre Carroll — who represents the 201st Legislative District — has put forward the Pennsylvania Film Production Tax Credit and Video Game Production Tax Credit to entice more productions to set up shop in the Commonwealth. Christina Faith Johnson is one of the creators signing on to help make the tax credit a reality. And finally, John chats with Democratic Strategist Max Burns and they banter about Trump's impending war with Venezuela and the impending release of the Epstein files.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
