Episode 8: Ultra Vires

In the wake of the sedition trial's collapse, Justice Department prosecutor John Rogge travels overseas and uncovers a bombshell. He finds evidence of a coordinated effort to subvert American democracy… as well as the names of high-profile Americans involved. Rogge then returns to America... and goes rogue. Risking his career as a prosecutor, he makes public what he's discovered about the fascist threat and the Americans who supported it. And he offers a prescient warning about an American criminal justice system that is ill-equipped to defend democracy from those who seek to destroy it.

This reminds me of today's political mess

Rachel Maddow is a brilliant storyteller and journalist. I so enjoy her podcasts, blogs, videos and the like. I have learned so much from following her for several years. Thank you for sharing your world.

All Americans need to hear it is happening again

All Americans need to hear Ultra. If you don’t know the history of America, it will repeat.

A Master Class in History of Political Science That I Learned From and Am Grateful For

This series is well written and researched. Connects the dots between 1940’s politics and today. It is important to remember and reflect on our political history so we can better understand how to respond in today’s climate. Rachel and her cast/crew have done an excellent service for providing the educational environment and content.

Riveting Story

The recounting of this historic event was spellbinding. It gives me some hope that we may be able to prevail in this current crisis but when are we going to develop legislation that will help to protect our democracy? This should be made into a TV miniseries that can air prior to the 2024 election. We need to give democracy the same chance to enlighten the masses as the fascists give their cause.

Instructive.

This podcast is fascinating. I want to know how Rachel gets her ideas. Her research is brilliant.
