  • John Roberts: Umpire or Ultimate Decider?

    John Roberts: Umpire or Ultimate Decider?
    Jan 15 2026
    Chief Justice John Roberts famously told the country that, if confirmed to the Supreme Court, he would act like an umpire—just there to call balls and strikes. To help answer the question of how Umpire Roberts Court has fared, Harry spoke with Lisa Graves about her new book, Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights, in which Graves makes the case that Roberts has acted less as an umpire than a political loyalist. In the conversation, Harry and Lisa discuss Roberts’s background as a movement conservative at DOJ, his nomination and ascension as Chief Justice, and his tenure now entering its third decade. They also delve into the modern Federalist Society, unpacking how Roberts and his fellow conservative justices align—or don’t—with its ideology. With the Supreme Court wielding unprecedented influence over American policy, this discussion provides a clear look at how we arrived at the Court we have today.

    Gasoline on the Fire
    Jan 12 2026
    Guest host Jonathan Alter brings together former Senator Barbara Boxer, Norm Ornstein, and Stuart Stevens to break down the Trump administration's mounting aggression, at home and abroad. The four talk through the shocking killing of Renee Good in Minnesota and the fallout from the toppling of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Then, they dig into a deeper story: how congressional Republicans became the devoted, crucial enablers of Trump's worst impulses.

  • The Illegality of the Maduro Seizure Under Domestic and International Law

    The Illegality of the Maduro Seizure Under Domestic and International Law
    Jan 6 2026
    Harry sits down with Georgetown law professor Steve Vladeck to dissect the seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. From the UN Charter and head-of-state immunity to the infamous 1989 Barr memo, they unpack the administration’s legal gymnastics, multiple legal illegalities, and tenuous positions. In particular, they zero in on the interplay between U.S. criminal law and the international law that we appear to have knowingly violated. They then turn to the long-term practical moral consequences of the operation, including the possible severe damage to U.S. credibility and strategic interests going forward.

Fentanyl is the #1 killer of Americans between 18 & 45 years of age. This podcast focuses on the root cause of the problem, potential solutions & how the DEA plans to destroy the chains supplying Fentanyl precursors & networks that distribute this killer. Audible targets advertisements on books of interest to me & I would like to see Audible do the same for this podcast as a public health issue relevant to American society.

Audible please advertise this podcast on the Fentanyl public health crisis

I'm a want to be nerd but I'll probably never get the chance to go to college. I love listening to podcasts like this because the legal system is very interesting and very important to a justice society. I say thank goodness for smart people! It's fascinating to listen to great legal minds discuss legal cases because they present so much detailed information throughout their conversations.

I Love Listening to Talking Feds!
