Podcast appearances and mentions of Jack Smith

Quick recapKoop and Russ conducted their podcast "Two Grumpy Bastards" with a round-robin format of video clips and commentary, discussing political figures, current events, and social issues. They reviewed clips featuring Republican politicians like Max Miller and Brandon Gill confronting Democratic colleagues in Congress, criticized Democratic candidates including Graham Plattner's controversial nomination in Maine, discussed the Carmelo Anthony murder trial verdict, examined community demonstrations in Seattle regarding public safety, and addressed European political tensions including an attempted beheading in Ireland. The conversation covered topics ranging from congressional hearings and political morality to criminal justice, immigration issues, and educational displays in schools, with both hosts expressing frustration with what they perceive as declining standards in public discourse and political representation.SummaryVideo Format Discussion PlanningKoop and Russ discussed doing a round robin of videos instead of deep diving into one or two topics as they normally do. They briefly talked about an upcoming hockey game between teams tied at 2-2. The conversation ended with Koop mentioning technical difficulties with screen sharing and testing audio quality.Podcast Format and Video PlanningKoop and Russ discussed their podcast format and planned to do a round robin of videos with quick discussions after each one. They began with a video featuring Republican representative Max Miller responding to Rashida Tlaib's comments about US involvement in Lebanon, where Miller argued against a resolution criticizing American foreign policy and instead focused on the threat posed by Hezbollah. The conversation included some casual discussion about sports teams before transitioning to their planned video content format.Political Congress Exchanges DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed various political exchanges and moments from Congress, focusing on specific lawmakers and their controversial statements or actions. They highlighted exchanges involving Max Miller, Rashida Tlaib, and Jack Smith, as well as discussing the conduct of other members like Brandon Gill and Wayne Mullen. The conversation included analysis of specific incidents, such as subpoenas of Kevin McCarthy and concerns about social media posts by DHS, with both participants sharing their opinions on the political implications and the effectiveness of certain lawmakers.Political Discussion and Candidate CritiqueKoop and Russ discussed several political topics, including Marco Rubio's potential as a presidential candidate and his performance in a congressional hearing where he was interrupted by another representative. They criticized Democratic politicians, particularly Graham Plattner, Maine's Democratic Senate nominee, whom they described as an inappropriate candidate due to past accusations. The conversation also touched on Seattle's homeless policies and the residents' response to them, as well as the Democratic Party's nomination of Plattner despite his controversial background.Carmelo Anthony Murder Case DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed the case of Carmelo Anthony, who was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Russ emphasized that the case should not be viewed through a racial lens, stating that it was about individual responsibility and the violent actions of Anthony. They discussed the jury composition, with Russ clarifying that it was not entirely white, and addressed misconceptions about Anthony's legal representation. Russ expressed that the sentence was too lenient and advocated for harsher punishment, while both agreed that the quick jury deliberation indicated a clear verdict.Anthony Case and Public SafetyKoop and Russ discussed the Anthony case, agreeing that the defendant should have pleaded out rather than going to trial, and they debated the appropriate treatment of teenagers as adults for serious crimes. They watched a video of a community march in Seattle protesting crime and lack of enforcement, noting the peaceful nature of the demonstration compared to typical leftist protests. The discussion concluded with criticism of Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson for not attending the march and her perceived lack of priorities regarding public safety.European Tensions and Security ConcernsKoop and Russ discussed the escalating situation in Europe, particularly in Ireland, where tensions are rising due to an attempted beheading incident. They noted that the Irish public, including the left, is becoming increasingly concerned about the situation and the government's inability to protect citizens. Russ suggested that vigilantism might become more prevalent if governments continue to fail in their duties, and both agreed that cultural and immigration issues are contributing to the unrest. They also discussed the potential for further violence, especially if different communities in Northern Ireland unite against common threats.Pride Month Display ControversyKoop and Russ discussed a Pride Month display at Graham-Kapowsin High School that included vials of testosterone, which Koop criticized as inappropriate given the controlled substance status of testosterone. They noted that while woke initiatives have become more muted recently, they remain active and require continued vigilance. The conversation concluded with Koop sharing humorous clips, including a joke about British colonies and a reference to French warfare tactics.Thank you for listening and subscribing and liking the hell out of us!Politics.

I'm standing outside a federal courthouse, and the story of Donald Trump's legal battles over the past few days feels less like a chapter and more like the closing act of a years‑long saga. Let's start in New York, where the hush‑money criminal case still casts the longest shadow over Donald Trump's political future. After his earlier conviction on felony counts related to falsifying business records, the focus in the past few days has shifted from guilt to punishment. NBC News and CNN report that lawyers for Donald Trump have been filing fresh briefs, pushing hard to delay or soften any sentence, arguing that sending a former president to jail would tear the country apart and interfere with the 2026 campaign cycle. Prosecutors in Manhattan, according to the New York Times, have countered that no one is above the law, not even a past president, and they have highlighted Trump's defiant public comments about the judge, the jury, and the process itself as a reason the court should not go easy on him. Inside the building, the mood has turned from explosive testimony to tense procedure. Courtroom observers from outlets like Court TV and the Associated Press describe a defense team leaning heavily on constitutional themes, hinting that any severe sentence will trigger immediate appeals that could climb quickly toward the higher courts. At the same time, the judge has been reviewing probation reports and impact statements, weighing whether Donald Trump will walk out with probation, home confinement, a fine, or time behind bars. The word “unprecedented” is on everyone's lips, but at this point it almost feels overused. Down in Florida, the classified documents case has lurched forward in fits and starts. Reporters from the Washington Post note that in the last several days, Judge Aileen Cannon has held additional closed‑door conferences over how to handle sensitive national security information—what the lawyers call CIPA issues. Special counsel Jack Smith's team has been pressing for a firm trial schedule, complaining that delay after delay is eroding the public's interest in a swift resolution. Trump's attorneys have pushed back, saying the complexity of handling classified material, coupled with the demands of his other cases, makes any early trial date unrealistic and unfair. Over in Georgia, the election interference racketeering case has been quieter but no less important. According to coverage from the Atlanta Journal‑Constitution, the Georgia Court of Appeals recently agreed to review Donald Trump's bid to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis, which has effectively put much of the trial preparation on pause. In the past few days, the debate has all been on paper—filings, responses, and replies—but the stakes are enormous. If Fani Willis is removed, the case could be delayed for months while a new prosecutor is found; if she stays, the pressure will mount to get a trial date on the calendar. Meanwhile, the federal election subversion case in Washington, D.C. still hangs in the balance of constitutional law. Legal analysts on outlets like PBS NewsHour and Reuters have been focused on the Supreme Court's continuing consideration of presidential immunity. Over the last several days, Donald Trump's fate in that courtroom has been decided not by witnesses, but by written opinions and legal doctrines. If the justices carve out broad immunity for official acts, the D.C. case could shrink dramatically. If they reject that argument, Trump faces the possibility of standing trial for his actions after the 2020 election, with the entire country watching. What ties these past few days together is not a single dramatic moment but the grinding, relentless machinery of the law closing in from four directions at once: New York state, federal court in Florida, state court in Georgia, and federal court in Washington. Every new filing, every hearing, every scheduling order has become part of a larger question: how do you hold a former president accountable without tearing apart the political and constitutional fabric of the United States? As these cases move, so does the narrative around Donald Trump himself. Supporters point to every delay or legal dispute as proof of a partisan witch hunt. Critics say the very fact that a former president is answering to multiple juries and judges proves that American institutions are still capable of restraining power. And that, listeners, is where we stand in this moment: in the hallway between verdicts and sentences, between indictments and trials, between claims of immunity and the reality of a courtroom.

I want you to imagine you are sitting on a hard wooden bench in a packed federal courtroom, because that is exactly where the story of Donald Trump's court battles has been unfolding over the past few days. We start in New York, where the hush‑money case that once made Donald Trump the first former president ever convicted of a crime is now in a tense holding pattern. After a Manhattan jury previously found him guilty on dozens of counts related to falsifying business records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign, Trump's legal team has spent the past several days pressing appellate courts to step in, arguing that his actions were political, not criminal, and that key testimony should never have been admitted. According to detailed reporting from the New York Times and CNN, lawyers have been trading briefs and appearing in hearings focused on whether the conviction should stand and what it means for a presidential candidate facing sentencing while also running for the White House again. Judges have been openly wrestling with the unprecedented mix of election politics and criminal procedure. Down in Florida, the classified documents case out of the Southern District has lurched forward in fits and starts. Over the past few days, as described by outlets like the Washington Post and Politico, special counsel Jack Smith's team has been arguing over what evidence can be shown to a jury and how to handle the mountain of secret material recovered from Mar‑a‑Lago. They have been pushing Judge Aileen Cannon to keep the trial on track, while Trump's lawyers have leaned hard on claims of presidential authority and selective prosecution, filing fresh motions to dismiss and asking for more delays. Court hearings have featured long arguments over the Presidential Records Act and how far executive power really reaches once a president leaves office. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., the federal election interference case connected to January 6 has remained entangled with questions of presidential immunity. Over the last several days, commentators from NBC News to the Associated Press have been tracking new filings where Trump's attorneys insist that almost everything he did around the 2020 election was an official act and therefore shielded from prosecution. Prosecutors have fired back, telling the judge that no president can use the Oval Office as a license to overturn an election. The Supreme Court's earlier rulings on executive power hover over every argument, and the precise wording of those opinions has been quoted and dissected in court day after day. In Georgia, the Fulton County racketeering case alleging a multi‑state conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 win continues to simmer. According to coverage by the Atlanta Journal‑Constitution, the past few days have seen more behind‑the‑scenes maneuvering than dramatic courtroom fireworks. Trump's lawyers are still pushing to sever his trial from co‑defendants, to move the case out of Fulton County, and to knock out the sweeping racketeering charge that ties the plot together. The judge has been working through a crowded motions calendar, and every decision there could change the timeline of when Trump might actually face a Georgia jury. Taken together, the last few days have not produced a single, explosive moment, but instead a drumbeat of hearings, orders, and filings in four different jurisdictions, all aimed at answering one enormous question: how do American courts hold a former president accountable while he is actively seeking to become president again? Every ruling in New York, Florida, Washington, and Georgia nudges that answer in one direction or another. Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

The past few days in Donald Trump's court battles have felt less like a series of hearings and more like a rolling stress test on the American legal system, and you can feel it in every courtroom doorway he walks through. In New York, the criminal hush money case that once sounded almost technical has turned into a running clash over what accountability looks like for a former president. NBC News and CNN have reported on how Trump's lawyers are pressing hard on appeal issues and potential challenges to any sentence, arguing that prosecutors stretched state law by tying business record falsification to federal election crimes. At the same time, New York court reporters describe a judiciary trying to show that the rules of evidence, contempt warnings, and jury instructions apply even when the defendant is Donald J. Trump. You hear it when judges remind the parties that public statements outside the courthouse can still threaten the integrity of the trial inside. Shift to the federal election interference case in Washington, and the word that hangs over everything is immunity. According to reporting from the New York Times and the Washington Post, Trump's team has been leaning hard on the argument that actions he took while president, including pressuring officials about the 2020 election, should be shielded from criminal liability. Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecutors have pushed back, pointing to Supreme Court precedent that no person, not even a president, is above the law. Legal analysts at outlets like Justia and Oyez note that recent Supreme Court arguments in presidential power cases are being watched as a proxy battle over how far that immunity can stretch. Then there is Georgia, where the Fulton County election case has been mired in fights over District Attorney Fani Willis and allegations of conflicts of interest. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the last several days have been dominated less by jury selection and more by hearings on whether Willis can stay on the case, and whether the racketeering charges against Trump and his allies are being wielded too broadly. It is a reminder that the Trump trials are not just about one man, but about the prosecutors, judges, and local jurors pulled into a national storm. Meanwhile, civil cases continue to ripple in the background. News outlets like Reuters and the Associated Press have described how New York's civil fraud judgment, with its massive financial penalties and monitoring of the Trump Organization, is now intersecting with the criminal cases. Every appeal deadline, every bond posting, becomes another data point in whether a former president can run for office while under extraordinary legal constraint. Across all of this, commentators on Court TV and major networks keep returning to the same point: these cases are testing the seams between politics and law. Jurors are told to decide only on evidence and statutes, while knowing the entire world is watching. Judges are forced to balance free speech rights against the risk of intimidating witnesses and poisoning a jury pool. And listeners are left tracking multiple dockets at once, watching the same name appear in New York, Washington, Georgia, and beyond. As these past days have shown, none of these trials moves in isolation. A ruling on presidential immunity in one courtroom reshapes strategy in another. A contempt warning in New York echoes into how Trump speaks on the courthouse steps in Washington or Atlanta. The story is no longer just about verdicts, but about whether the system can hold together when the defendant is a former and possibly future president.

Mea Culpa welcomes back legendary politician turned political analyst, Michael Steele. Steele made history when he became the first African-American candidate to be elected to statewide office in Maryland, where he served as lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2007, and when he was chosen to be the first African-American chairperson of the Republican National Committee from 2009 to 2011. Steele's abilities as a communicator and commentator have been showcased daily on MSNBC where he has become a fierce opponent of Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda. He's also appeared on Meet the Press, Face the Nation, HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, and The Daily Show to name a few. In addition to his work in television, Steele can be heard each week on his radio show on SiriusXM or on the Michael Steele Podcast which has become a must listen for those on both sides of the aisle. He joins me today as former President Trump awaits news charges from the DOJ and special prosecutor Jack Smith and much, much more.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our good friend Norm Eisen. There's pretty much nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst. And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center” a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. His latest piece for MSNBC lays out how Jack Smith can defeat Trump and put him behind bars. Eisen served as special counsel to President Barack Obama on ethics. In that role, he was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” because he's well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. Having spent time in Eastern Europe as the Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Eisen cares deeply about the region and is also working with the Brookings Institute to help Ukraine recover and thrive once Putin's war has ended. But today it's all indictment talk. And Norm is ready to put the bracelets on little Donny for good. 

In this rare interview from Show #282 in 2006. April and Jack detail their well researched report on US. Military gassing deserters in Vietnam with Sarin gas. Then CNN caved in to pressure, called the story false, put a gag order on them both, and fired the reporters. The cave in of CNN was almost as bad as the reporter who tries to get them to stop the story. April and Jack sued for wrongful dismissal on the threat that they would make public their research. with a gag order in place the story may be forgotten unless... we study just what they had discovered, that the US government sent assassination squads to gas American military deserters in Vietnam. Hear April Oliver reveal that after the show aired, servicemen called in to reveal other similar missions. These leads were followed and interviews were video taped but CNN will never air them. Don't let this story disappear as CNN would have it forgotten.      

Mary and Andrew begin this week by tackling a decision by a U.S. District Judge to dismiss criminal charges against Kilmar Ábrego García, calling the administration's case against García a vindictive prosecution for challenging his illegal deportation last year. Mary and Andrew couple this topic with a conversation about the “Broadview Six” case, involving a group of Chicago ICE protesters whose criminal case was dropped, similarly, due to misconduct by the DOJ. Then, Mary and Andrew continue a discussion from last week about Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS — specifically about an addendum to the settlement which grants Trump and "affiliated individuals" extremely broad protections from future prosecutions. They then talk about Carmen Lineberger, a former federal prosecutor indicted for sending unreleased files from the Jack Smith report to her personal email account. Plus, a conversation about a decision by a federal judge who has ordered the White House to comply with the Presidential Records Act, undermining the DOJ's ability to give the administration a legal way to destroy White House records from the second Trump term.

Today's Headlines: Trump announced the US and Iran were near "finalization" of a deal on Saturday, then posted less than 24 hours later that he's "not in a rush" — with the reported framework giving Iran $25 billion in unfrozen assets in exchange for disposing of enriched uranium and temporarily reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while Iranian officials claim American diplomats have been privately telling them to ignore Trump's posts because they're "primarily for media consumption," which is either reassuring or terrifying. Tulsi Gabbard resigned as Director of National Intelligence citing her husband's rare bone cancer diagnosis, though it follows months of reporting that Trump was already planning to fire her. A gunman opened fire at a White House security checkpoint Saturday, was shot by officers, and died at the hospital — he had previously been arrested for walking into a restricted White House area while claiming to be Jesus Christ. A federal prosecutor was indicted for trying to leak Jack Smith's sealed Mar-a-Lago report by disguising it as a file called "bundt_cake_recipe.pdf" and emailing it to herself, which is both a federal crime and the most creative act of resistance we've seen all year. Hasan Piker and CodePink's Medea Benjamin were reportedly subpoenaed over a humanitarian aid trip to Cuba — except neither actually received subpoenas, and Piker had cleared the trip with the Treasury Department's own office beforehand. Minnesota became the first state to ban prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket outright, and the Trump administration immediately sued the state in response. CBS issued copyright notices against Colbert's surprise public access appearance the day after his Late Show finale, then backed off after universal backlash. And New York City recovered $9 million in unpaid idling fines from Amazon, because a $2 trillion company apparently couldn't be bothered to pay its tickets.

Jon Herold comes in on Memorial Day a little lighter than usual, kids are in the backyard on the slip and slide, and the news is slow enough to get real about some things that need saying. The biggest one: everybody is getting very excited about the reports Tulsi Gabbard is expected to release before she leaves, covering Havana syndrome, COVID origins, and 2020 election fraud. Jon is asking the questions nobody wants to sit with: why are these reports being rushed out because she is leaving, were they always going to come on this timeline, and is a report released under these circumstances going to be complete or a limited hangout? Trump posted a lengthy Memorial Day Truth Social mandating that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan all sign the Abraham Accords simultaneously with any Iran deal, calling it the most historic document ever signed. Jon reads every word. Orange County had a cracked chemical tank threatening 40,000 residents before stabilizing. Jon is skeptical Spencer Pratt can overcome LA County's election system regardless of how well he campaigns. A former federal prosecutor was just indicted for allegedly trying to steal sealed Jack Smith documents, and Jon gives it measured credit while pointing out it is not quite the accountability he is actually waiting for.

The Department of Justice has established a $1.8B “anti-weaponization fund” after Trump dropped his lawsuit against the IRS. A former federal prosecutor has been indicted for sending herself copies of Volume II of Jack Smith's final report. A federal judge has dismissed the charges against Kilmar Ábrego García on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds. The Justice Department has dropped all remaining charges against the Broadview 6 after a grand jury transcript showed gross misconduct. Plus listener questions.

Donald Trump's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" settlement fund has stunned legal experts—not just because it's corrupt, but because of how skillfully and transparently it is designed to protect the Trump Family and reward loyalists. On this week's Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick brings together two of the sharpest observers of Trump-era lawlessness to map exactly what this is and why it matters.J.P. Cooney, a career federal prosecutor and former top deputy in Jack Smith's special counsel's office, explains how President Trump sued his own IRS as a private party, settled the case through attorneys who have also been his personal lawyers, and then secured an addendum—signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche—immunizing Trump and his family from any IRS audit or tax-enforcement proceeding. Cooney calls it "practiced, skillful corruption". As Investigative journalist Andrea Bernstein, host of The Law According to Trump, author of American Oligarchs, and a veteran of five Trump trials, points out, this settlement enshrines Trumpian language— such as "unlawful raid at Mar-a-Lago" and "Russia collusion hoax"—in official U.S. government documents. Bernstein says it's vital to be clear about who stands to receive payouts: people convicted of seditious conspiracy, assaulting Capitol police officers, and other crimes they admitted to in open court. Cooney and Bernstein agree this fund doesn't just reward insurrection—it incentivizes future violence, chills legitimate dissent, and systematically erases the historical record of Jan. 6. Later, Slate executive editor Susan Matthews joins to preview the new season of Slow Burn, Becoming Justice Gorsuch—and explain why the most anonymous justice on the court is so pivotal to understanding the power and the politics of the highest court in the land.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showDonald Trump has announced a new $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund” to be doled out as he sees fit to “victims” of the “weaponization” of the Justice Department. It's financed from the Judgment Fund, a strange legal creature — it's a permanent, unlimited appropriation the federal government can use to pay judgments and settlements. But like… doesn't that have to be for real lawsuits with plausible claims that could win in court? Also: an ex-AUSA has been criminally charged for sending herself electronic copies of confidential reports about the findings from Jack Smith's documents investigation into the president. She gave the files names like “bundt cake recipe."That's for free subscribers. Paying subscribers get our discussions about:* An ICE agent facing state criminal charges in Minnesota.* Elon Musk losing in his civil trial against Sam Altman, and the complex set of circumstances that led the presiding judge to seek an advisory verdict from the jury before disposing of the case herself.* A counterclaim from Lorna Hajdini in the JP Morgan saga.* Chud the Builder, unfortunately (in part because of his whiny lawyer).* Trouble for timeshare billionaire Stephen Cloobeck — Eric Swalwell's onetime benefactor — and Cloobeck's ex-Penthouse Pet fiancée, Adva Lavie, a.k.a. “Mia Ventura.”* Rep. Max Miller, who apparently has the worst luck with women, is suing his ex-wife for defamation, saying she's making up lies about him being abusive, just like his ex-girlfriend before her, whom he also sued for defamation when she called him abusive.* And Clavicular pleads no-contest to shooting a dead alligator, is sentenced to non-livestreamed community service — and gets brutally mogged by Judge Marcus Bach-Armas, a total chad who used to be in-house counsel for the Miami Dolphins.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 21, 2026. We open with JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon's message to New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani — you can be an ideologue all you want, but at some point you have to compete, you have to produce, and you have to deliver results. We use that framework to explain exactly why democratic socialism fails every single time it is tried, why the mayor of Seattle just apologized to Starbucks after threatening to drive them out of the city, why Delaware is hemorrhaging corporate headquarters to Texas and Tennessee, and why the people left behind when productive citizens and businesses vote with their feet are always the ones who can least afford to be abandoned. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former Cuban dictator Raul Castro has been indicted in a U.S. federal court for murder and the destruction of two private planes belonging to Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue, shot down over international airspace in 1996. Then Louisiana became only the second state in the country to receive the Department of Education's Returning Education to the States waiver — freeing up $18 million in federal education dollars for direct classroom use over four years, with Secretary Linda McMahon saying Louisianians know best how to serve their students, not bureaucrats in Washington. And a Canadian man living in Massachusetts has been charged with illegal voting after admitting he has voted in U.S. elections since 2008 — meaning he voted illegally in five presidential elections, including the most secure election in American history. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle whether girls are meaner to their moms than their dads — and land somewhere warm and true. We talk about the prom moment where a daughter snaps at her mother and then asks her father for a picture, the four-page love letter that same daughter wrote her mom on Mother's Day, why moms are the soft place to land which means they also absorb the worst of the shrapnel, and why one mama's daughter-in-law used to cry watching friends be rude to their mothers — because she would have given anything to have one. We dig into the Texas case of a man who ordered abortion pills online, crushed them, and mixed them into a pregnant woman's drink without her knowledge — killing her unborn child and now facing murder charges. We explain exactly why this case is the inevitable consequence of the FDA's 2023 decision to allow mifepristone to be dispensed by mail without a doctor ever seeing the patient, why this specific scenario is impossible when the drug must be administered in person by a physician, and why the FDA needs to reverse its decision immediately. In our Digging Deep segment, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney named Carmen Lineberger — who worked on Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago — has been indicted for stealing sealed documents from that very investigation and emailing them to herself disguised as a cookie recipe and a Bundt cake recipe. We explain what makes this story so extraordinarily revealing — a member of the team that prosecuted a president for allegedly mishandling documents allegedly stole documents herself, renamed them dessert recipes, and sent them to her personal email. We also connect her history of pro-DEI advocacy and racial justice work at the DOJ, and make the case that this is not irony — it's the deep state in action. We also cover the FBI dismantling a major Indian call center fraud scheme that stole nearly $1 million from American senior citizens — and call it exactly what it is: putting Americans first doesn't just mean border walls, it means protecting the most vulnerable of our people from predators anywhere in the world. For our Bright Spot, the state of Washington settled a lawsuit brought by foster parents Shane and Jennifer DeGross — represented by Alliance Defending Freedom — after the state denied their foster license renewal because they wouldn't affirm that children can change their biological sex. The settlement requires Washington to revise its licensing policies to respect religious families' deeply held convictions and prohibits the state from attaching conditions to a foster license based solely on religious beliefs about marriage, gender, or sexual relationships. The state also paid $250,000 in attorney's fees. We ask the question nobody at the state agency apparently asked — what is best for the children? We also cover Congresswoman Nancy Mace's proposal to ban naturalized citizens from serving in Congress — and while we understand the frustration that motivated it, we call it what it is — a law of unintended consequences that would tell millions of legal immigrants who became Americans the right way that they can never fully participate in self-government. We draw the line at dual citizenship, not at the immigrant. And we close with Lexi McClellan — a second grade teacher who took a special interest in a seven-year-old foster child named Mary, watched an adoption fall through, stepped forward with her husband to become Mary's foster parents, and filed adoption papers within months. Lexi said it felt like God had led it, like she was meant to be in her life. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In this impactful episode of John Solomon Reports, we focus on a historic moment in accountability as U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quinones joins us to discuss the unsealing of an indictment against former Cuban President Raul Castro. After 30 years of waiting for justice, Quinones details the significance of this indictment, which addresses the tragic shooting down of humanitarian flights that resulted in the deaths of four Americans.John Solomon also highlights a shocking case involving a federal prosecutor who attempted to leak sensitive information regarding Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump, disguising her actions under the guise of a cake recipe. This revelation raises serious questions about the integrity within the Justice Department.In the second segment, Congresswoman Nicole Mioltakis shares her perspective on the indictment of Castro and its importance not just for the Cuban-American community, but for all Americans seeking justice. She reflects on the long-standing frustrations surrounding the lack of accountability for past actions and the emotional response from the community as they celebrate this long-awaited moment.Finally, we wrap up with health insights from Dr. Nicolas Hulscher of the Wellness Company, providing valuable tips for maintaining well-being.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's claim that peace with Iran is nearly complete, while warning that the latest proposal from Tehran appears to offer little more than a temporary extension of the ceasefire, continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, lifted sanctions, reparations, and no clear end to Iran's nuclear ambitions. He also highlights better news from the energy front, including progress on a UAE pipeline that could bypass the Strait of Hormuz and a record-breaking U.S. oil lease auction in New Mexico's Permian Basin. Bryan then turns to new reporting on the early war plan involving former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, calling the idea deeply troubling if true, before unpacking the latest fallout from the San Diego Islamic Center shooting and the uncomfortable revelations about one of the deceased guards' support for Hitler and anti-Jewish rhetoric. Plus, Bryan covers a major Deep State leak case, as FBI Director Kash Patel charges a Democrat DOJ lawyer accused of sending sealed Jack Smith investigation documents to her personal email under fake recipe names. He closes with a sobering reflection on House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries' statement that Democrats must not only defeat MAGA voters electorally but "break their spirits," arguing that the modern political fight is becoming something deeper, darker, and spiritual in nature.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Iran peace deal 2026 Strait of Hormuz ceasefire, Iran peace proposal sanctions reparations nuclear program, Netanyahu Trump Iran deal tension Israel, UAE oil pipeline Gulf of Oman Hormuz bypass, Permian Basin New Mexico oil lease auction 2026, Ahmadinejad Iran leadership plan Trump Netanyahu report, San Diego Islamic Center shooting Hitler anti Jewish guard, Deep State leak case Carmen Lineberger Jack Smith documents, Kash Patel FBI DOJ lawyer indictment, Hakeem Jeffries break MAGA spirits Democrats spiritual warfare, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

In a firestorm of social posts, President Donald Trump refused to endorse Rep. Thomas Massie in the Republican primary based on the congressman's lack of support for the Administration's agenda. Trump instead backed former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, who won big. The Sekulow team discusses Massie's defeat, the power of Trump's endorsements before the 2028 midterm elections, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

Greg Kelly Reports | May 20, 2026 - The show opens on a jolt of accountability as a former prosecutor tied to the Jack Smith investigation gets indicted, turning the lawfare machine back on itself and hinting that bigger names may be exposed next. - New York is cast as a city governed by unserious people, where basic public safety collapses so badly that a woman dies after stepping into an uncovered manhole while officials stay busy with drag events, media fights, and political vanity. - January 6 is reframed as a massive abuse of state power, with talk of compensation for defendants treated not as charity but as overdue repayment for lives wrecked by political prosecutions. - Seth Moulton gets hammered as a careerist fraud who turns military service into political theater, then uses it to undercut people who actually support Trump's agenda and current military leadership. - The broader theme is that the establishment keeps failing at the basics — justice, infrastructure, honesty, and competence — while pretending emotional performance and bureaucratic sanctimony can cover the rot.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 83: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has given away his labyrinthine plot to stay in office past 2028 in one social media post and he’s just crazy enough to think it will work. It is in his rant claiming the indictment of a political opponent means "The 2020 Presidential Election Should Be Permanently Wiped From The Books And Be Of No Further Force or Effect…” He is not going to try a new Constitutional Amendment or say the limit is two CONSECUTIVE terms. He's not going another coup (at least not initially). He is going to try to nullify the 2020 Election - and hold that vote again. ANOTHER 2020 Election. In 2028. If you think that's too crazy easy for him - is it crazier than Trump insisting yesterday that we are in a war against UKRAINE? Crazier than indicting the former FBI Director on a threat to kill Trump with a seashell meme? Crazier than trying to get a comedian fired for a joke about Trump’s death and his wife when TRUMP then goes out and makes a joke about his death and his wife and all America is talking about is the dreaded D-word? Crazier than indicting a man for trying to shoot him at the Correspondents’ Dinner when it is now unmistakably clear that the suspect never fired a shot and was never on the same floor as Trump was? Crazier than Trump's insistence that we should pay for this damn ballroom because it'll protect presidents? What - are they sealing themselves in like Saddam Hussein in his Hidey Hole? And then I'll detail Trump’s bid to MATA: Make America 2020 Again. B-Block (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Two competing Bari Weiss entries because while nobody's watching her version of the CBS Evening News, everybody seems to have seen her prized reporter Olivia Reingold making a fool of herself on video from the Correspondents' Dinner. And speaking of that, Stephen A. Smith came out of that experience knowing who is to blame for all America's problems: those evil liberals! Whose presidential nomination he expects to win. ESPN has a choice: platform a political idiot and Conservative tool and destroy your franchise, or get rid of him and keep it. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I often wonder WHY I ever became a political commentator. It wasn't planned and it wasn't supposed to be permanent. And the story of HOW I became a political commentator is even crazier.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In breaking news, a group of historians, citing to Jack Smith's work and Trump's Mar a Lago espionage act indictment, have run to court and filed an emergency suit to block Trump from destroying (continuing to destroy?) presidential records, i.e. the People's records), supported by a memo created by his own lawyers that says the Supreme Court is wrong when it said 50 years ago that Congress can direct who in the Executive Branch can be the proper permanent repository for papers after the “temporary” President leaves office.

Did President Trump take classified documents to Mar-a-Lago in part to benefit his business interests? According to recent reports, Special Counsel prosecutors explored possible business-interest motives, a theory that was not part of Jack Smith's eventual indictment.  In an excerpt from this week's Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the news and the significance of motive in criminal prosecutions. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: – The $1.2 million settlement in Michael Flynn's malicious prosecution lawsuit against the Department of Justice; and – Attorney General Pam Bondi's proposed rule deferring state bar ethics investigations into federal prosecutors to the Department's own ethics committee.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, President Trump is calling the shots in the Iran war. He acts in U.S. interests by viewing a nuclear Iran as a grave threat, and maintains a close alliance with Israel through military, intelligence, and personal ties with Benjamin Netanyahu. He's not secretly controlled by the Israelis or an Israel lobby as Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson suggest. Also, Jack Smith's team secretly sought years of Kash Patel's, Sen Ted Cruz and other lawmakers phone records and other information. The Biden regime orchestrated a massive criminal assault on the American political system by targeting Republican senators, congressmen, the sitting president seeking re-election, and his associates. All three branches of government effectively colluded against Trump and his supporters—an unprecedented abuse never before seen in U.S. history. Later, after 47 years, the Iranian regime does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Even after its top and second-tier leadership has been wiped out and its military pounded, the regime refuses any deal and says no deal rather than surrender. Democrats and figures like Tony Blinken, Jen Psaki, Christopher Wray, Lloyd Austin, and Chris Murphy repeatedly warned that Iran would soon get nuclear weapons yet now undermine the current president who is acting. Even more disgusting are Woke Reich—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, and Joe Kent—who are traitors for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, spreading conspiracy theories, American hatred, and Jew hatred. Then, the only threat to DHS and TSA comes from the Democrat Party in Congress, amid a war with Iran. The Democrat Party does not care, as the party itself—not the country or working Americans—is its most important institution. They have decided to blackmail America – either cripple ICE or DHS won't be funded. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1. What “Arctic Frost” Is Claimed to Be “Arctic Frost” is an internal DOJ investigation allegedly launched during the Biden administration. It is a national security and domestic extremism initiative, but allegedly functioned as political surveillance targeting Donald Trump, his allies, and conservative organizations. 2. Role Attributed to Special Counsel Jack Smith Jack Smith is accused of: Pushing for expanded subpoena authority beyond direct suspects. Advocating aggressive timelines outside traditional prosecutorial standards. Supporting material witness warrants even when no charges were filed. Encouraging a “target‑first, crime‑later” investigative approach. 3. Alleged Scope of Surveillance Nearly 200 subpoenas were issued, affecting 400+ Republican individuals and organizations. Some entities targeted did not exist on January 6, suggesting lack of direct relevance. Surveillance allegedly included: Phone toll records Emails Bank and donor records Internal organizational communications 4. Constitutional and Legal Violations Alleged The violations are: First Amendment (free speech and freedom of association) Speech and Debate Clause (subpoenaing members of Congress) Attorney‑client privilege (wiretapping alleged privileged calls) Probable cause standards highlights are: AT&T reportedly refused to comply with certain subpoenas due to constitutional concerns. Jack Smith allegedly did not pursue court enforcement, suggesting awareness of legal vulnerability. 5. Senate Judiciary Hearing Depictions Republican senators characterize Arctic Frost as: A “weaponized pipeline” inside DOJ. A system to test legal theories against political opponents. Testimony allegedly confirmed: No identifiable crimes were uncovered. Targets might never have learned they were surveilled without later disclosures. 6. Comparison to Watergate Surpassed Watergate in scale and intrusiveness. Impacted tens of thousands of communications vs. one office break‑in. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Monday night's interview with Joe Kent went viral. Kent was pressed on his conspiracy theories regarding Charlie Kirk's assassination, Kent's alleged leaks and why he claims that Israel pushed President Trump into war with Iran. Also, Jack Smith's team secretly sought years of Kash Patel's, Sen Ted Cruz and other lawmakers phone records and other information. The Biden regime orchestrated a massive criminal assault on the American political system by targeting Republican senators, congressmen, the sitting president seeking re-election, and his associates. All three branches of government effectively colluded against Trump and his supporters—an unprecedented abuse never before seen in U.S. history. Cruz is furious, he knows the rules of professional responsibility prohibit such actions, yet the implication was made anyway, and the judge went along with it. Cruz calls in to break down exactly what happened. Later, Operation Epic Fury has been a spectacular success under Trump, but we cannot lose gains in the post-conflict phase. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has urged Trump multiple times to continue fighting until Iran's regime is toppled, fearing a failed state that could threaten the kingdom. Is he a neocon?
