Podcast appearances and mentions of Vanita Gupta

Presidents have long pursued policy prerogatives through the Department of Justice, but traditionally, there's been a clear division between those and the Justice Department's enforcement decisions. On March 5, 2025, the NYU Law Forum and the Reiss Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law co-hosted an all-star panel of experts who have served in senior positions at the White House and in the Department of Justice to assess the degree to which the division between the President and the Justice Department has now changed. Among the topics they discussed are: What is the origin of and reason for the Justice Department's measure of independence? How has this independence worked given the Justice Department's mix of political and career employees, and how is the current administration observing those lines?  The expert panel consisted of Vanita Gupta, a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at NYU School of Law and the former Associate Attorney General of the United States; Lisa Monaco, a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the Reiss Center on Law and Security and the former Deputy Attorney General of the United States; and Breon Peace, the former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.  Trevor Morrison, a former Associate White House Counsel, the Dean Emeritus, Eric M. and Laurie B. Roth Professor of Law, and a Faculty Co-Director of the Reiss Center on Law and Security, moderated the discussion.  Show Notes: Vanita GuptaLisa MonacoTrevor Morrison (Bluesky)Breon PeaceJust Security's coverage of the Department of JusticeJust Security's coverage of the Trump administration's executive actions Music: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

In this podcast extra, MSNBC anchor and attorney Ari Melber reports on the data on gender and racial diversity across U.S. institutions, providing a factual and historical lens for recent attacks on diversity programs and recruitment -- which are often heated and sometimes misleading. The report rigorously compares asserted claims about qualifications and merit by some critics of "DEI" programs with Trump's hiring approach in his second term. Melber also discusses legitimate, long running debates about affirmative action policy to misleading claims about the facts on diverse representation in Congress and top corporations, and efforts to misuse the policy debate for political ends or to stoke racial division. Plus, listen to Melber's 2017 conversation with Vanita Gupta and Ilya Shapiro, as well as his 2018 discussion with Alice Walker.

We look back on the year since the murder of George Floyd galvanized the nation. David Remnick talks with Vanita Gupta, the No. 3 official in the Justice Department, who is charged with delivering on President Biden’s bold promises to address racial injustice. A Minneapolis activist explains why it is so hard to abolish the police. Plus, Hilton Als on why America finally rose up against long-standing abuses of Black people.

Joe Biden has spoken clearly about the reality of systemic racism in America, and he’s said that racial justice would be a defining element of his Presidency. Such a statement would have been unlikely before the movement that followed the death of George Floyd, or before the overt white supremacy that was on display during the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally, which Biden has said convinced him to run in 2020.  Vanita Gupta will be one of the key people guiding the Administration’s response. She was confirmed in April as Associate Attorney General, the No. 3 position at the Department of Justice, overseeing the Civil Rights Division. David Remnick spoke with Gupta about how Biden intends to make good on his promises, and whether criminal-justice reform is still possible in bitterly divided Washington.

In this week’s episode, we review some of the most consequential news out of Washington D.C., from President Biden’s American Families Plan to the latest DOJ confirmation hearings and the House Judiciary Committee’s historic approval of H.R. 40 (a bill that would establish a commission to study reparations). It's safe to say we are pleasantly surprised with how well things are going.

President Biden boasts about surpassing 200 million COVID vaccines, Lisa Murkowski breaks ranks on Vanita Gupta's nomination as associate attorney general, and senators scrutinize Apple's app store policies.

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman gets us over the hump, that many of us will sled down this morning. Derek Chauvin is guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Accountability, and maybe a step towards justice took place last night, as Black lives mattered, for a moment. Justice requires neverending vigilance. In this case, the credit goes to 17 year old Darnella Frazier and her cellphone videography prowess. Then, police in Columbus, Ohio released body-camera footage of the police shooting that left a teenage girl dead minutes before Derek Chauvin’s verdict was announced. It isn’t quite the death of racism, but nonetheless racists sure are running scared. MT Greene hid where she wouldn’t see anyone last night. Tucker Carlson was so frightened of the looming threat to the white race that he just might have peed himself on national TV. Tucker’s advertisers would be terrified, if he had any. You don’t want to hear what Donald Trump had to say. (Neither do I) Former US intelligence director James Clapper is pushing for an Australian investigation into Rupert Murdoch to fight “truth decay”. Greg Dworkin remembers Walter Mondale, who it bears repeating, was an old-school, true Democrat, public servant, mensch of a Vice President, and as Greg points out, often felt obligated to tell the public the truth, sometimes at greater than optimal levels. 200 million doses and we aren’t halfway home. People keep coming up with clever ways to convince boneheads, but boneheads hate experts almost as much as they hate math. Here’s an idea: For each vaccine shot, give them a lottery ticket.  The House has been frozen at 435 representatives, but just like those 9 Supreme Court justices, that’s just a number. More representatives, however might bring more psychos like Rick Roeber, who physically, sexually and mentally abused his children, and drowned puppies. The inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security blocked investigations into tear gassing and rubber bullets for Donald Trump’s stroll through Lafayette Square last year. Republican Lisa Murkowski broke Gop ranks to support Vanita Gupta’s nomination. Democrats blocked Republican censure of Maxine Waters until the Gop cleaned up its own act. Democrats put the time they spent idling due to Republican obstruction to good use, by coming up with a rule change to set aside those rules being misused.

The GOP is still fuming over the state turning Blue due in large part to Black People voting, and now is doing everything in their power to undermine the Black vote as punishment and prevention from us gaining legislative power. The level of ruthlessness is real, but Dr. Venus has some thoughts and comes at this discussion from a different angle than you may hear elsewhere.   This week, she shares the historical context of White Supremacy creating power structures to keep the marginalized from voting and why it’s important to get educated so we aren’t stuck in a caste system seven generations deep. She talks about why becoming a Black Woman Billionaire is a revolutionary act, one that creates infrastructures that allow us to fight for OUR interests and start to change the game in our favor. We have to fight, but they aren’t playing fair. In order to beat them at their own game, we need to get strategic and head White Supremacy off at the pass for upcoming elections. If we don’t think in terms of building in the future, we will always live at the effect of White Supremacy. Dr. Venus isn’t okay with that, and she is betting you aren’t as well.   Key Takeaways: [3:26] We showed up and showed out in Georgia, and turned the state Blue. This made the GOP mad, and when White Men get mad, they create laws. This is how they fight. [5:12] Dr. Venus gives historical context in which White people suppressed Black Men and Women and poor Whites from voting. These included both blatant and subversive tactics including violence, intimidation, literacy tests, the Grandfather Clause, purging them off the registry, poll tax, and charging Black Men and Women for petty crimes which stripped their rights to vote. [10:07] White Supremacy using its power to keep marginalized people down is not new.  When we see the GOP in Georgia leading the way to put laws in place to make it really hard to vote, it triggers a historical wound. [10:57] The way America is structured is designed to keep people who have big money in, and to keep the middle and lower class out and away from having any type of power. [13:02] Money isn’t the problem. It’s the structures in place that keep getting funded to keep those structures in place. When we get Black Women Billionaires that can put money towards our movement, it changes the power dynamic and gives us the opportunity to fund politicians, judges, and Congress members that have our interests in mind. This is how we see real change for generations to come. No amount of marching is the same as picking your candidates with ease and fighting money with money. [17:08] Dr. Venus has switched her focus from racism to now focusing on White Supremacy, and it’s so clear. We’ve been fighting them on fairness, but it’s about money, capital, and infrastructure. Our ancestors knew how to navigate this because they knew the self-centeredness around White Supremacy, but we are now in our own time of fighting the 21st-century version of Jim Crow. [22:01] Let’s get committed to creating Black Women Billionaires who really are part of the solution so the funding is built-in and not piecemealed together. [25:01] If we do not start funding our own power structures, they will have us picking cotton the 21st century way. Dr. Venus isn’t saying let’s be shady. Let’s be strategic. We have to view this as a business. It takes money to fund your interest and empower what you value. If we think in terms of infrastructure, being a Black Woman Billionaire becomes a revolutionary act. The money part is just the fuel. [26:30] We aren’t dealing with fairness, we are dealing with who has the biggest microphone, and who can fund it. [30:08] White Supremacy thinks so little of us that it would never dawn on them that we could create our super PACs and support registration and elections that have our interests at heart. That’s fine, let them doubt us.   Quotes: “When White Men get mad, they create laws. This is how they fight.” “Money isn’t the problem. It’s the structures in place that keep getting refunded to keep those structures in place.” “When I think of Billionaires I’m not thinking of money, I’m thinking of power structures.” If we do not start funding our own power structures, they will have us picking cotton in the 21st century way.” “It’s not about red bottoms or clothes, it’s about putting in place what we need so we can create our own power structures.”   Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  ”Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Join the conversation!

Giant container ship “Ever Given” finally made the long-awaited pivot to freedom, and scampered back into open water, leaving reporters misty-eyed on shore. We are still stuck with a COVID pandemic, though. Thanks to Joe, vaccines are pouring into millions of arms. Unfortunately, cases keep rising, as will deaths. Anti-vaxxers and far-right extremists here and around the world continue to fight for death. We could have saved more than a World War’s worth without Donald Trump in office. Of course, Trump couldn’t have done it alone. Dr. Deborah Birx, Trump’s coronavirus response coordinator, now points out that she personally chose to have hundreds of thousands of people die, rather than to aggravate Donald Trump. Dr. Francis Collins proves one can be a scientist, evangelical and a Christian, all at the same time. Joe Biden is doing such a good job as president, that his overthrow has been postponed until August. Mr. Biden will now demonstrate what effective management techniques can do at the border. Management isn’t Republicans strong suit, or even something that interests them. They don’t mind that anti-voting measures hurt them also, because they that see where we are stuck now might be as good as anywhere they will ever get to. Lara Trump was to headline Trump TV, but now is just fine being Fox Blond #3452.

Brad Raffensperger did his job one time, and now he’s in trouble. Unindicted pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood hopes to hide out as chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party until things cool off.  Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer will attempt the unimaginable! Actually, as David explains, it is pretty imaginable, just a lot of work, and neither side wants that, unless it’s necessary.

The main stream news media has decided to openly lie about President Donald Trump. It would seem they would rather protect MS-13 than the American people. Vanita Gupta, former head of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and current head of the Leadership Conference, says “Unrestricted footage review places civil rights at risk and undermines the goals of transparency and accountability,” talking about Police body cameras. Oregon Governor Kate Brown is facing new questions after Open The Books (OTB) Founder and CEO Adam Andrzejewski released the most recent findings of his group's investigation into transparency issues and credit card spending. In a West Virginia middle school, seventh-grade students were given a worksheet in a homework packet which instructed students to practice calligraphy by copying the Arabic form of the Shahada by hand." The Shahada "is the Islamic profession of faith that declares belief in one true God and Muhammad being a messenger of God." In the second hour, I'll be joined by Ron Edwards for our Sunday afternoon conversation. Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows.

Every ten years, the federal government conducts the census of all people in the United States. The stakes are extraordinarily high, particularly in light of the push to include questions about citizenship. The tally determines everything from the allocation of congressional seats and the shape of legislative districts, to the flow of vast amounts of government funds. Political pressure is especially high this time, as demographic change transforms the country. In all, it's a potential crisis looming ahead – with huge ramifications for civil rights and government policy for years to come. How could budgetary constraints, new and untested technologies, and potential political interference create obstacles to an accurate count? What are the steps engaged organizations and individuals can take to increase the likelihood of a successful census? Join civil rights leader Vanita Gupta, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, Wendy Weiser, Director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, Thomas Saenz, President and General Counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and Joseph J. Salvo, Director of the NYC Department of Planning's Population Division, to unpack the many questions and challenges of the upcoming census. They will spotlight work that litigators are doing to bolster the health of the census and ensure the decisions that will impact our society in political and economic ways are made are based on honest and accurate calculations.
