Podcasts about United States Capitol

A symbol of freedom standing atop the United States Capitol seems like the perfect representation of American ideals. But what if one of the people most responsible for bringing that symbol to life was himself enslaved? This week, Michael explores the remarkable true story of Philip Reid, the skilled craftsman whose expertise helped make the Statue of Freedom possible, and the extraordinary irony of a monument to liberty being completed during the Civil War by a man who gained his own freedom before it was finished. Then we play the Yap Yap Quiz with Comedian Glen Tickle! Did you know The Internet Says It's True is now a book?

On June 9th, 2026, David Grush stood on the steps of the United States Capitol and moved from testimony to action. He was not alone. What happened on those steps, and what was confirmed about Varginha, Brazil for the first time in thirty years, is what this episode is about.Sitting members of Congress, Leslie Keane, James Fox, and the man who testified under penalty of perjury that the US government has recovered craft of non-human origin assembled at one in the afternoon with a single purpose. Fox opened by asking the President of the United States to declassify the Varginha files. The former Brazilian Minister of Defense confirmed publicly for the first time that in January 1996, a living non-human being was loaded into a police cruiser, transported to a hospital, and subsequently handed over to the US military. The officer who transported it was dead within three weeks. His widow was denied his death certificate and his medical records were seized by the Brazilian army the day after he died.Jared Moskowitz said plainly the American people were being lied to. Tim Burchett described being told in a classified briefing that the President of the United States is on a need-to-know basis. Leslie Keane asked the question nobody in official capacity has answered: by what authority can any institution on earth withhold confirmation of what may be the most consequential scientific discovery in human history?This is a special episode. No quick hits, no briefings. Just one story told the way it deserves to be told.Patreon: https://patreon.com/InfiniteRabbitHoleJeremy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/U-F-Elmwood-Cosmic-Puzzle/dp/B0GX1GBMZNYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteRabbitHolePodcastWebsite: https://InfiniteRabbitHole.com

C dans l'air du 22 mai 2026 - Trump et le fisc : petit arrangement entre amis ?Aux États-Unis, alors que de nouvelles accusations de conflits d'intérêts visent Donald Trump, le fisc américain a annoncé un deal inédit avec le milliardaire. En mars, le président des États-Unis avait attaqué sa propre administration, demandant 10 milliards de dollars de dommages et intérêts aux services fiscaux, en raison d'une fuite dans la presse de ses déclarations de revenus de 2020. Le The New York Times rapportait alors que le magnat de l'immobilier n'aurait payé que 750 dollars d'impôts fédéraux en 2016 et en 2017, et même aucun lors de dix des quinze années précédentes, en raison notamment d'importantes déclarations de pertes de ses sociétés.L'accord trouvé cette semaine interdit à jamais de poursuivre Donald Trump en cas de fraude ou d'arriérés d'impôts antérieurs au 18 mai 2026. Cette immunité fiscale à vie concerne aussi sa famille et leurs entreprises. Le document prévoit également la création d'un fonds d'indemnisation de 1,8 milliard de dollars, pouvant indemniser les personnes affirmant avoir été « injustement ciblées » par les administrations précédentes. En clair, cela pourrait concerner les 1 600 émeutiers du 6 janvier, graciés par Donald Trump, alors qu'ils avaient pris d'assaut le United States Capitol en 2021, estimant que la victoire de Joe Biden à l'élection présidentielle était usurpée.Au Congrès, cet deal scandalise l'opposition. « C'est une carte “sortie de prison gratuite” qu'il a négociée avec lui-même. Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que cette Amérique ? », a fustigé Chuck Schumer, chef des démocrates au Sénat. La polémique enfle dans la presse et le malaise gagne les rangs de la majorité présidentielle. Deux policiers ayant défendu le Capitole en 2021 viennent de saisir les tribunaux. Ils veulent faire annuler cette décision, que les associations de transparence en politique qualifient de plus corrompue de l'histoire des États-Unis.Pendant ce temps, Donald Trump a présenté aux journalistes le chantier de sa salle de bal ultrasécurisée à la White House. Un sujet qui obsède depuis des mois le locataire du Bureau ovale. Ce dernier la mentionne en moyenne un jour sur trois depuis le début de l'année 2026, a recensé le The Washington Post. Mais si ce projet immobilier, monumental et coûteux, revient de manière récurrente dans les discours du président, qui veut « la plus belle salle du monde », cette marotte, soulignant la déconnexion du milliardaire avec les préoccupations de la population, inquiète de plus en plus les républicains. Seuls 28 % des citoyens jugent cette construction nécessaire. Une population dont le pouvoir d'achat est de plus en plus impacté par la flambée des prix des carburants, alors que les turbulences internationales s'accumulent.Iran, Canada, Cuba… Depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche, Donald Trump pratique la diplomatie par les menaces et les ultimatums. Mais son mépris pour le Canada a eu l'effet d'un repoussoir pour le tourisme aux États-Unis, et les villes frontalières sont les premières à souffrir des tensions inédites entre les deux pays voisins. Les négociations sur la fin de la guerre en Iran se poursuivent, sans aboutir, et le détroit d'Ormuz demeure bloqué. Washington vient d'annoncer qi'l mettait en pause ses ventes d'armes à Taïwan afin de « s'assurer de disposer de munitions suffisantes » pour la guerre contre l'Iran. Parallèlement, l'administration Trump accentue la pression sur le régime cubain. L'ancien président cubain Raúl Castro vient d'être inculpé aux États-Unis, alors que le USS Nimitz (CVN-68) arrive en mer des Caraïbes.Nos experts :- James ANDRÉ - Grand reporter à France 24- Lauric HENNETON - Historien, spécialiste des États-Unis, maître de conférences à l'Université Versailles-Saint Quentin- Dominique MOÏSI -Géopolitologue, conseiller spécial de l'institut Montaigne

Donald Trump is still being sued for what he did on January 6, 2021: launching an attack on the United States Capitol to steal a presidential election from the American people. He is still being sued by several police officers who were assaulted that day by his angry mob, and he is still being sued by democratic lawmakers who were under siege that day as a result of the Trump-induced Capitol attack. In that ongoing litigation, Donald Trump asserted that everything he did on and around January 6, 2021, was an official presidential act so he should be immune from being sued. A federal judge has now rejected Trump's immunity claim, ruling that lawsuit against Donald Trump will move forward toward trial. This is an important ruling on the accountability front. And it may even serve as foreshadowing for what might happen in the future in the event the January 6 criminal prosecution is reinitiated against Trump once he leaves office.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Breaking Point: Adam Kinzinger on January 6 and the Courage to Stand for Your Values What happens when standing by your values could cost you everything — your career, your friendships, even your sense of belonging? In this episode of Reppin, I sit down with former U.S. Congressman, U.S. Air Force veteran, and January 6 Committee member Adam Kinzinger to talk about the moment that became his breaking point: the January 6 United States Capitol attack. After 12 years representing Illinois in Congress, Adam Kinzinger made a decision that would define his career — speaking out after January 6 and choosing principle over party. The fallout was immediate: backlash, threats, lost friendships, and a life that would never look the same again. But this conversation goes beyond politics. On Reppin, Adam Kinzinger opens up about the fear and chaos inside the Capitol that day, the emotional toll that followed, and the faith that helped him navigate one of the hardest chapters of his life. He also shares why he founded Country First, a movement working to rebuild trust in American democracy and create space for Americans across political divides to disagree without losing their humanity. At its core, this episode is about courage, integrity, and the resilience it takes to stand by your values — even when the cost is high.

Five years ago today, a mob stormed the United States Capitol committing many violent acts. Laura K. Field has been studying what led up to January 6th — not just the rally and the riot, but the ideas behind “stop the steal” in particular and the MAGA movement in general. She discusses her new book, "Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right." The 21st Show is Illinois' statewide weekday public radio talk show, connecting Illinois and bringing you the news, culture, and stories that matter to the 21st state.

In this episode, Jared and Mike rewind to Florida's razor-thin 2018 midterms to break down a often-overlooked test run of “Stop the Steal,” years before it became synonymous with the 2021 riot at the United States Capitol. As recounts unfolded in the high-stakes Senate and governor's races, longtime GOP operative Roger Stone and a network of MAGA activists mobilized protests in Broward County, amplifying fraud claims and pressuring officials while influencers pushed the hashtag into the mainstream. Could we see a replay of this playbook in 2026? Will it be worse? Our hosts also dug into the State of the Union — its racism and subtle backpedaling — and, of course, they had to talk about their favorite jet-setting FBI director: Kash Patel. We'll see you in Valhalla, folks — just as soon as the pilot gets the plane ready.Listen to the full episode on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit

When it comes to attempting to steal US elections, Donald Trump has priors.First, he tried the fake elector scheme. And he failed. Next, he sent an angry mob to the United States Capitol to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win. And he failedNow, contrary to the express terms of the Constitution, Donald Trump says he wants to federalize elections. But again, he will fail.One of the reasons he will fail is because we have great nonprofit organizations fighting against Trump's lawlessness and dictatorial zeal in court every single day. One of the leading nonprofit organizations is Democracy Forward. They have brought countless legal challenges against Trump's lawlessness and unconstitutionality, and they are beating the Trump administration in court time and time again.Glenn interviewed the president of Democracy forward, Skye Perryman, about the extraordinary work of her organization.

A new book, Storm at the Capitol: An Oral History of January 6th, by Associated Press Congressional Reporter Mary Clare Jalonick, captures first-hand descriptions of the day of the biggest attack on the United States Capitol since 1814. Jalonick, who was trapped in the press gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives, says she wanted to create a definitive record of the day because there is now, following Trump's return to power, there is a risk of erasure of what really happened. Newly in public domain music by George Gershwin, Paul Whiteman band, and Marian Andersen.

fWotD Episode 3197: Rosa Parks Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 4 February 2026, is Rosa Parks.Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an American civil rights activist. She is best known for her 1955 refusal to move from her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of Jim Crow racial segregation laws, which sparked the Montgomery bus boycott. She is sometimes known as the "mother of the civil rights movement".Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, Parks grew up under Jim Crow segregation. She later moved to Montgomery and joined the city's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1943, serving as the organization's secretary. Despite policies designed to disenfranchise Black citizens, Parks successfully registered to vote after three separate attempts between 1943 and 1945. She investigated cases and organized campaigns around cases of racial and sexual violence in her capacity as NAACP secretary, including those of Recy Taylor and Jeremiah Reeves, laying the groundwork for future civil rights campaigns.Custom in Montgomery required Black passengers to surrender their seats in the front of the bus to accommodate white riders. The rows in the back were designated for Black riders. Before Parks's refusal to move, several Black Montgomerians had refused to do so, including 15-year-old high school student Claudette Colvin, leading to arrests. When Parks was arrested in 1955, local leaders were searching for a person who would be a good legal test case against segregation. She was deemed a suitable candidate, and the Women's Political Council (WPC) organized a one-day bus boycott on the day of her trial. The boycott was widespread. Many Black Montgomerians refused to ride the buses that day. After Parks was found guilty of violating state law, the boycott was extended indefinitely, with the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) organizing its own community transportation network to sustain it. Parks and other boycott leaders faced harassment, ostracization, and various legal obstacles. The boycott lasted for 381 days, finally concluding after segregation on buses was deemed unconstitutional in the court case Browder v. Gayle.After the boycott ended, Parks experienced financial hardship and health problems due, in part, to her participation. In 1957, she relocated to Detroit, Michigan. She continued to advocate for civil rights, supporting people such as John Conyers, Joanne Little, Gary Tyler, Angela Davis, Joe Madison, and Nelson Mandela. She was also a supporter of the Black power movement and an anti-apartheid activist, participating in protests and conferences as part of the Free South Africa Movement. In 1987, she co-founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development with Elaine Eason Steele. After Parks's death in 2005, she was honored with public viewings and memorial services in three cities: in Montgomery; in Washington, D. C., where she lay in state at the United States Capitol rotunda; and in Detroit, where she was ultimately interred at Woodlawn Cemetery. Parks received many awards and honors, both throughout her life and posthumously. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Congressional Gold Medal, and was the first Black American to be memorialized in the National Statuary Hall.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:06 UTC on Wednesday, 4 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Rosa Parks on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6th 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that today marks the fifth anniversary of Trump's attack on and refusal to stop once in progress the United States Capitol. But Trump's distractions will fail. The people of the United States, who are dedicated to the rule of law and determined to preserve American democracy, will not be distracted. To that end, a group of us will be at an event at the National Press Club in DC to commemorate the January 6 anniversary.The event is being hosted by Jim Acosta and can be live streamed on Jim's Substack and YouTube channels.

As Amanda's sabbatical begins, we are revisiting previous episodes of the podcast. This week marked the 5th anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol. In today's episode of Respecting Religion, hear a conversation two years after the attack. Amanda and Holly share their reactions to the report released by the January 6 Select Committee at the end of 2022, including the lack of any mention of Christian nationalism and why that matters. They also discuss the importance of Christian leaders providing an alternative witness in 2023 to the Christian nationalism exhibited during the attack on the Capitol. And, they review how the insurrection still shapes our world and how it – surprisingly – doesn't shape Capitol tours. This program originally aired on January 12, 2023, in season 4 of Respecting Religion.   SHOW NOTES This episode was originally broadcast as episode 10 of season 4 in 2023. For another conversation about January 6 and Christian nationalism, check out S3, Ep. 12 from 2022. Segment 1 (starting at 01:06): The Select Committee Report Read the final report of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. We played a clip compiling three individuals' statements during the January 6 hearings claiming the Constitution was divinely inspired: Greg Jacob, Rusty Bowers, and Rep. Liz Cheney. See the video on Amanda's Twitter (now X) account. The comprehensive BJC/Freedom From Religion Foundation report on Christian nationalism and the January 6, 2021 insurrection is available online. Click here to read the letter organized by BJC and Christians from Christian Nationalism to the Select Committee, asking them to investigate how Christian nationalism motivated and intensified the attack.

Don revisits January 6th and confronts the ongoing effort by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement to rewrite history. From minimizing the violence to denying what millions watched unfold in real time, these revisionist narratives aim to erase the reality of that day. This was an attack on the U.S. Capitol fueled by lies. Don breaks down what actually happened, why the facts still matter, and how attempts to sanitize or ignore the violence pose a real danger to accountability and democratic norms. This isn't about partisan spin. It's about memory, truth, and refusing to let misinformation replace documented history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6th 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that today marks the fifth anniversary of Trump's attack on and refusal to stop once in progress the United States Capitol. But Trump's distractions will fail. The people of the United States, who are dedicated to the rule of law and determined to preserve American democracy, will not be distracted. To that end, a group of us will be at an event at the National Press Club in DC to commemorate the January 6 anniversary.The event is being hosted by Jim Acosta and can be live streamed on Jim's Substack and YouTube channels.

The week in Donald Trump's legal world has felt less like a series of isolated hearings and more like one long, rolling courtroom drama, shifting from New York to Washington and back again, with judges, jurors, and prosecutors all pulling on different threads of the same story.In New York, the civil fraud case that once delivered that massive judgment against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization is now in its post-trial grind, but it is far from over. New York Attorney General Letitia James is still pressing to enforce the judgment, while Trump's lawyers are working every angle on appeal, arguing that Judge Arthur Engoron overreached when he found that Trump, his adult sons, and senior executives systematically inflated the value of properties like Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago to secure better loans and insurance. Outlets like the New York Times and the Associated Press have noted that the appeal filings in the past few days sharpened their focus on what they call “political bias” by New York state officials, framing the entire case as an effort to drive Trump out of business in his home state. At the same time, the state has been quietly filing its own responses to keep pressure on Trump's assets, setting up a long appellate fight.Down in federal court in Washington, the special counsel election interference case remains technically on track but practically bogged down in pretrial maneuvering. According to recent reporting by CNN and Politico, Trump's team has been leaning heavily on arguments of presidential immunity and First Amendment protection, trying to narrow what Special Counsel Jack Smith can present to a future jury about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the fake electors plan, and the chaos leading up to January 6 at the United States Capitol. Judges on the D.C. Circuit have been working through dense briefing on whether a former president can ever be criminally prosecuted for “official acts,” and in the last few days, legal analysts at Lawfare and Just Security have been dissecting how those arguments might ripple into other Trump cases.At the same time, the classified documents prosecution in Florida has been crawling forward under Judge Aileen Cannon. NBC News and the Washington Post report that the most recent hearings have focused on what evidence can be excluded because of alleged mishandling by the FBI during the search at Mar-a-Lago, and how to protect national security secrets while still giving Trump's team access to the material they say they need to defend him. Prosecutors have kept pressing the core claim: that Trump knowingly kept highly sensitive documents at his private club and then obstructed efforts by the National Archives and the Department of Justice to get them back. Trump's lawyers, in turn, have tried to reframe the case as a dispute over records that should have been handled under the Presidential Records Act rather than as a crime scene.Meanwhile, in Georgia, the state election interference case in Fulton County remains a looming threat even as no trial has begun. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, defense lawyers for Trump and several co-defendants have spent these last days filing motions to limit the racketeering charges brought by District Attorney Fani Willis, arguing that normal political advocacy is being criminalized. The pressure there is less about a trial date and more about whether the sweeping racketeering structure survives early challenges.Stack all of this together, and what you have over these past few days is a picture of Donald Trump not in a single courtroom showdown, but in a legal siege on multiple fronts, each case feeding into the political and personal narrative he presents to his supporters as he continues to seek power again.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

There has been a lot happening around Donald Trump's time in court, so let's jump straight into the action from the listener's point of view, with an eye on the last several days and the broader arc those days fit into.Picture walking into a courthouse where a former president, now again President Donald Trump, is not just a political figure but a criminal and civil defendant in multiple jurisdictions. In New York, listeners have watched Trump fight civil claims over the way his business valued properties and represented its finances, a saga that has turned routine numbers on balance sheets into front-page drama. Judges there have heard testimony about Trump Organization practices, property valuations, and internal emails, all while Trump alternates between sitting stone-faced in court and stepping outside to attack prosecutors and judges in front of cameras. In those hallways, reporters cluster around, noting every word as Trump calls the cases witch hunts and insists that the real verdict will come from voters, not juries.At the same time, federal criminal cases have loomed in the background, especially those tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election and Trump's conduct around January 6 at the United States Capitol. Listeners have heard references to sprawling indictments that describe fake electors, pressure campaigns on state officials, and efforts to use the machinery of government to cling to power. In those cases, the legal fight in recent days has often been less about witnesses on the stand and more about high‑stakes motions: Trump's lawyers arguing that a president should enjoy broad immunity for acts in office, and prosecutors countering that no one, not even a president, is above the law. Judges have been pressed to decide whether Trump's status as a current president changes how quickly these trials should move or how far immunity should stretch over his past conduct.Layered on top of that are cases over classified documents found at Mar‑a‑Lago, where federal prosecutors have claimed Trump mishandled national security secrets and obstructed efforts to retrieve them. In hearings linked to that prosecution, lawyers have clashed over how sensitive evidence is handled, whether the government is overreaching, and whether the case can realistically be brought to trial while Secret Service details, political schedules, and national security clearances all hover over every practical decision. Listeners are reminded again and again that the same man at the defense table is commanding federal agencies from the Oval Office.Recent days have also kept attention on the political and legal collision course these trials represent. Court calendars have brushed up against campaign rallies and official events, raising the question of whether judges should delay proceedings to avoid interfering with a sitting president's duties, or whether delay would itself be a kind of special treatment no other defendant would receive. Prosecutors have argued that justice delayed is justice denied, while Trump's team has claimed that rushing to trial would amount to election interference by other means. Outside the courthouses, supporters shout that the system is rigged, while critics insist that accountability is finally catching up with decades of behavior.All of this has turned the courts into a kind of second campaign trail, one paved with subpoenas instead of yard signs. Listeners have watched as familiar names—prosecutors, former aides, state attorneys general, and federal judges—become recurring characters in an unfolding story about power, responsibility, and consequence. Every filing, every ruling, and every brief hearing becomes another data point in the question that hangs over all of this: can the United States legal system put a sitting president to the test in the same way it would any other citizen.Thanks for tuning in and staying with this unfolding story of Donald Trump's trials in America's courts. Come back next week for more as these cases develop and new chapters are written in real time.

In 2016, Jamie Raskin was elected to Congress from Maryland just as Donald Trump was first elected president. Raskin, a former constitutional law professor, and Trump, a real estate developer who flouts rules and shatters norms, have been locked in a struggle ever since.When Congress impeached Trump in 2021 for inciting an insurrection, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tapped Raskin to be lead impeachment manager, essentially Trump's chief prosecutor. He subsequently served on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Raskin is now the Ranking Member of the powerful House Judiciary Committee and has been a vocal adversary of the Trump administration. In the past few weeks, he has accused U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Krisi Noem of “unlawfully detaining U.S. citizens,” demanded that Trump explain “a blatantly illegal and unconstitutional effort to steal $230 million from the American people” and denounced “military-style tactics” in Chicago. Jamie Raskin represents Maryland's 8th Congressional District, which borders Washington, D.C. He has authored several books, including the bestseller “Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth and the Trials of American Democracy,” a searing exploration of the death of his son and the struggle to defend democracy under Trump. I spoke with Rep. Raskin on Tuesday as the government shutdown approached the one month mark. 

A man pardoned for his role in the January 6 United States Capitol attack was arrested after allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

In today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the first story zeroes in on the unsettling news that a man pardoned for his role in the January 6 United States Capitol attack was arrested after allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Authorities say the text messages were explicit and showed intent, raising new concerns about the effects of mass pardons and political-violence risk in the U.S. legislative sphere. Next up, controversial pastor Marvin Winans came under fire after a livestream showed him chastising a church member for donating less than what he asked for. While both parties later clarified the interaction, the video has ignited debates on giving culture, public shaming in houses of worship, and leadership accountability. Finally, fans of 90s romance have reason to rejoice: actors Nia Long and Larenz Tate — beloved for their roles in Love Jones — are reuniting for a brand-new Netflix romantic drama inspired by Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite, marking a major return to form for the iconic duo.

As lead investigator into both January 6 and Charlottesville, Tim Heaphy discovered that American democracy was headed toward a reckoning. In his book Harbingers, which he completed before the November 2024 election, Tim concluded that apathy poses greater threats to the rule of law than would-be autocrats, and that widespread civic engagement would be essential to safeguarding our values and restoring faith in our institutions. He proposes a number of everyday measures that Americans can and must start taking right now in order to restore our faith and hope in the future.rnrnHeaphy served as Chief Investigative Counsel of the House of Representatives Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. He also oversaw the independent investigation into the August 12, 2017 riot in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is currently a partner at Willkie, Farr & Gallagher LLP and previously served as the Obama-appointed US Attorney for the Western District of Virginia.

Send us a text[What was it like to defend clients in prosecutions arising out of events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021?  A discussion with defense counsel Rocco Cipparone and Angie Levy]Following the events at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, the federal government initiated one of the largest investigations and prosecutions in American history, ultimately charging nearly 1,600 defendants.  Those charges resulted in about 1,270 convictions (most, for misdemeanor offenses).  Upon entering Office on January 21, 2025, President Trump fulfilled a campaign promise in granting clemency to these defendants—pardoning or commuting the sentences of those convicted, and ordering the dismissal, by the U.S. Department of Justice, of remaining pending cases.  We had the opportunity to talk with two guests who had a front-row seat to the January 6 prosecutions, through their representation of clients in January 6 trials held in federal court in Washington, D.C.  Rocco Cipparone and Angie Levy are two well-regarded and respected members of the Philadelphia and New Jersey criminal defense communities, and recognized as terrific trial lawyers.  It was a great pleasure to have them with us to discuss the January 6 prosecutions.

This week Taylor spoke with John Protevi about his recently published book, Regimes of Violence: Toward a Political Anthropology. John is professor of French studies and philosophy at Louisiana State University. He is author of Political Affect; Life, War, Earth; and Edges of the State, all published by the University of Minnesota Press. Book Summary: A wide-ranging examination of the roots—and possible future—of violence in human societies Is aggression inevitable among humans? In Regimes of Violence, John Protevi explores how human violence originates and exists in our societies. Taking humans as biocultural (that is, our social practices shape our bodies and minds), he shows how aggression does not arrive from any purely biological predisposition but rather occurs only in social regimes of violence that, by manipulating the ways in which culture can shape our biological inheritance of rage and aggression, condition the forms of violence able to be expressed at any one time. Offering detailed insights into human aggression throughout history, Protevi's analysis ranges from evolutionary psychology to affective ideology and finally to an alternate politics of joy. He examines a wide range of seemingly disparate topics, such as cooperation between early nomadic foragers, organized sports, berserkers and blackout rages, the experiences of maroons escaping slavery, the January 6 invasion of the United States Capitol building, and responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. As he entwines the philosophical with the anthropological, he asks readers to consider why humans' capacity for cooperation and sharing is so persistently overlooked by stories that focus on aggression and warfare. Regimes of Violence is an important contribution to studies of Deleuze and Guattari, uniquely combining cutting-edge investigations in psychology, history, evolutionary theory, cultural anthropology, and philosophy to examine the “political philosophy of the mind.” Presenting to readers a refreshingly optimistic perspective, Protevi demonstrates that we are not doomed to war and argues that humans can build a world based on antifascism, joy, and mutual empowerment.

“I do feel we have an obligation to speak up,” Alexandra Stein, PhD said on this episode of Cult Conversations: The Influence Continuum, “and it's tough for people to resist these systems when there is total silence, and that's what these systems kind of rely on.” Alexandra exited a ten year stint in a left wing political cult when she was 36 years old. Alexandra is a writer and educator specializing in the social psychology of ideological extremism and other dangerous social relationships. Her latest book, Terror, Love, and Brainwashing: Attachment in Cults and Totalitarian Systems, was released as a second edition in 2021.

One of President Donald Trump's first actions as president was simple and sweeping: pardoning 1,500 people convicted of offenses related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. That single executive action undid years of work and investigation by the FBI, US prosecutors, and one person in particular: Tim Heaphy.Heaphy was the lead investigative counsel for the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, and he's arguably done more than anyone to piece together what happened that day. His work helped inform related cases that were brought against rioters, Trump administration officials, and even Trump himself.In the first episode of More To The Story, Heaphy talks to host Al Letson about how Trump swept aside those consequences; the overlap between the January 6 attack and the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia; and what Trump's pardons mean for the country going forward.Check out the Reveal episode Viral Lies, in which we dig into the origins of “Stop the Steal.”Support our journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenowSubscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weeklyInstagramMore To The Story team:Kara McGuirk-Allison, Josh Sanburn, Al Letson Taki Telonidis, Brett Myers, Fernando Arruda, Jim Briggs, Nikki Frick, Kate Howard, Artis Curiskis Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

EP. #1154 THE GATES OF HELL: DARK PORTALS, DEMONIC CODES, AND AMERICA'S HIDDEN PROPHECY  Richard Syrett welcomes back author and researcher Derek Gilbert to explore the spine-chilling revelations from his latest book, The Gates of Hell: Unlocking the Ganymede Code and the Demonic Portals of Mount Hermon and the United States Capitol. Derek uncovers startling evidence that Jesus Christ, from the very beginning of His ministry, waged a direct assault on an ancient and insidious entity—an enemy that predates Satan himself. Together, Richard and Derek dive into some of the most shocking revelations, including:   The Underworld Connection: Why Jesus' baptism took place at a site long believed to be the literal entrance to hell.    Mount Hermon's Secrets: The Transfiguration and its link to the fallen ones of old.    A Dark Presence in America: How the art and architecture of the U.S. Capitol encode sinister prophecies about a new Golden Age under the rule of Apollyon—the destroyer.    Spiritual Warfare Unfolding Today: Could Israel's war with Hamas be a battleground orchestrated by this ancient adversary?    The Four Horsemen in Plain Sight: The shocking connection between the Palestinian flag and the apocalyptic riders of Revelation. GUEST: Derek P. Gilbert hosts Five in Ten, a daily analysis of the news for SkyWatchTV, and co-hosts the weekly programs The Bible's Greatest Mysteries and Unraveling Revelation with his wife, author and analyst Sharon K. Gilbert. He's the author of the groundbreaking books ‘Bad Moon Rising,' an analysis of the spiritual forces behind Islam, ‘The Great Inception,' ‘Last Clash of the Titans.' And 'The Second Coming of Saturn He's also the co-author with Sharon K. Gilbert of 'Giants, Gods & Dragons,' a new take on end times prophecy that names the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and ‘Veneration,' a deep study on the ancient cult of the Rephaim. The latest, again, co-authored by Derek and Sharon Gilibert is The Gates of Hell: Unlocking the Ganymede Code and the Demonic Portals of Mount Hermon and the United States Capitol.

Jake Chansley - Qanon ShamanSep 11, 2023With Qanon still maintaining a grip of a sizeable number of people, The Opperman Report thought it would be interesting to catch up with the iconic Jacob Chansley, who many will recall was the man in the painted face and horns who was pictured in the House of Congress on January 6th, 2021.In a fascinating interview, Chansley talks about his motivations and beliefs, and why Qanon has become such a movement.Jacob Chansley also known under the name Jake Angeli, and as the QAnon Shaman, Q Shaman,d Yellowstone Wolf, is an American alt-right conspiracy theorist and activist who participated in the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol, which he was convicted of felony charges of obstructing an official proceeding. He has been a supporter of President Donald Trump and a believer and disseminator of the QAnon conspiracy theory.Chansley attended demonstrations in the Phoenix, Arizona, area starting around 2019, in particular in a march for climate. At rallies, he promoted conspiracy theories supporting Trump, and he has been a counterprotestor at Black Lives Matter events. His appearance, with face paint utilizing the colors and symbols of the American flag and a headdress made of animal fur, helped to establish his shaman nicknames.After being photographed taking part in the January 6 storming of the Capitol, Chansley was arrested on January 9 on federal charges of "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds". He pleaded guilty to a single charge in September, and was sentenced to 41 months (3.4 yr) in prison in November 2021. He served out a portion of his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution - Safford in Safford, Arizona, and was transferred to a halfway house on March 28, 2023, from which he was released on May 25, 2023.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The people who mounted an attack on American Democracy, tried to steal the voice of the people by interrupting certification of the vote, smashed our nation's capitol building and left it smeared with bodily fluids, attacked Capitol police and left them mentally shaken to the point of self harm, and threatened the lives of our elected representatives…they all just got  big fat pardon from Trump. In a disgusting anti-American display, Trump ordered “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”About 1,500 were pardoned, including members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who had been convicted of seditious conspiracy against America. We'll dive deep into this with Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnston. The Mark Thompson Show 1/21/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Johnny Cash had a voice that could make a mountain quake. And his impact on the world of music is so legendary that this week a new 11 feet tall bronze statue of the singer, guitarist and humanitarian was unveiled at the United States Capitol Visitor's Center. It was donated by the state of Arkansas and it is the first-ever statue of a musician in the collection. To celebrate, we invite you to take a new listen to the very first episode of What It Takes.  You'll hear the deeply introspective Cash near the end of his career (1993). He reflects on how he overcame considerable personal obstacles and turned his failures into the stepping stones to success. He also talks about the first music he remembers, the voice teacher who advised him to stop taking lessons, and the source of his creativity.
