The January 6th Hearings

Last week the folks at Fox News treated Donald J. Trump as if he were a supernatural being who came down from heaven on the wings of a bald eagle to vanquish the woke, transgender, cultural Marxist enemies of the United States and lift the nation up to a mythical state of its former glory when robber barons swam through the Panama Canal. There was one topic no one wanted to talk about - Trump’s pardon of January 6th rioters.

Rick dissects "MAGA Granny" Pamela Hemphill's journey on J6 and with the MAGA cult, exploring what led her to join the group and what ultimately opened her eyes and prompted her exit.

January 6th came and went without much fanfare...this time. Millions of people hold their breath, waiting for the next administration to take power. We are not waiting, and you shouldn't either. Tuesday, Stuart and Rick were joined by former Senator Doug Jones to talk about how democrats - and all of us - can fight back starting right now.

In our first episode of 2025, Rick takes a hard look back at January 6th, 2021—a day he calls a stain on American democracy. He reflects on the failures of leadership, the lack of accountability, and the enduring dangers posed by Trump and his movement. With unflinching honesty, Rick explores the authoritarian vision of MAGA, the moral compromises of its enablers, and the need to remember and confront the truth of that infamous day.

Reminding us again what's at stake this election, Capitol Police Officer Danny Hodges and his fellow officers held the line for our country on January 6th.

Brian Daitzman writes, "Trump’s presidency wasn’t just a period of poor leadership—it brought with it a contagion of chaos and division, a swarm of misery that feasted on the carcass of what was once the Republican Party."

Justice Samuel Alito expects the public to accept his claim of impartiality, even after news broke that a "Stop the Steal" flag was flying over his house. Steven Beschloss writes, "This all makes a mockery of Chief Justice John Roberts’ assertions that he cares about the credibility of the court and securing the public’s trust."

Fareed Zakaria joins Rick to discuss the history of political upheaval and revolution and his new book, "The Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present." They explore the historical patterns of cultural and political upheavals, beginning with the Tea Party movement and the cultural backlash during Barack Obama's presidency. Zakaria contrasts the incremental nature of the American Revolution with the more radical French and Russian revolutions. They delve into the challenges faced by modern authoritarian regimes in China and Saudi Arabia, the importance of America's post-war influence, and the need to navigate technological and economic transformations while preserving liberty and human dignity.

What's the difference between Nero at HIS Olympics in 67 and Trump at HIS golf course 1,957 years later? Robert McElvaine on losers who declare themselves winners.

Juliet Jeske is back this week covering everything you're glad didn't watch on Fox including Trump's legal problems, The Hur Report, and the arrest of an FBI informant, and their Fani Willis freakout.

Rick Wilson is joined by attorney Tristan Snell, known for prosecuting Trump University during his time as Assistant Attorney General for New York State. Together, they discuss Snell's upcoming book, "Taking Down Trump," and explore the myriad legal cases involving Trump, including the civil fraud trial in New York and the January 6th case.

Rick Wilson exposes the planning and responsibility behind the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, urging for accountability and consequences for those involved.

And YOU May Be Paying for the Bill

Renowned election attorney Ben Ginsberg joins Rick for a look-back at the legal maelstrom of the 2020 Election, focusing on the allegations of election fraud and subsequent (absurd) legal actions undertaken by Trump's legal team.

Teri Kanefield delves into the challenges of legal punditry and the negative effects of partisan pundits and conspiracy theories on American democracy, with a focus on maintaining truth and integrity.

How have threats to democracy changed the way you view patriotism and its symbols?

On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick talks with the senior White House correspondent for the Huffington Post, Shirish Date about his recent article on Trump's coup attempt and why we can't forget about it.

Trump isn't attempting to delay criminal investigations into his conduct, writes Teri Kanefield; he's working to derail and destroy them. People praising his successful "delay tactics" are missing that in Court, as in the 2020 election, he is a loser.

Facing disbarment, Eastman seems poised to plead to "stupidity" and claim "witch hunt." But the California State Bar is unlikely to view stupidity as a valid reason to allow him to continue practicing law.

The J6 Select Committee has made criminal referrals to the DOJ for Trump and others. What happens next? NOBODY goes deep and lays it all out like Teri Kanefield!
