A no-holds barred critique of what ails the Supreme Court and what if anything can be done about it. Kate Shaw, Steve Vladeck, and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse join Harry to discuss the Court’s current record-low standing and how it came about. The Court has amassed power at the expense of the political branches and is using it unabashedly to push through a pattern of controversial – indeed unpopular – results that touch the lives of all Americans. Can anyone or anything constrain this Court?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Several important showdowns building to a head, starting w/ the debt crisis, and Aaron Blake, David Gura, & Amna Nawaz join Harry to break them down.

Meanwhile, Jack Smith makes steady progress towards a Trump indictment; Fani Willis telegraphs her timing; & Durham delivers up a dud. And lots to discuss about 2024 w/ DeSantis’s formal entry this week.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We present a special topical episode this week featuring three of the most prominent and respected trial lawyers in the profession--Barry Berke, Leslie Caldwell, and Lisa Wayne. Law typically involves compromise, but trials typically involve all-in win-or-lose big bets. For that reason, trial practice has a special mystique, and trial lawyers are considered the ultimate badasses of the profession. What makes these celebrated professionals tick and what lies underneath their courtroom bravado?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week’s episode is a special discussion on a crisis in the U.S. that is as grave as it is underappreciated. There has been an alarming rise in levels of loneliness, so that today 60% of American adults regularly feel lonely, while 61% of young adults feel “serious loneliness.” In “Loneliness in America,” Prof Julianne Holt-Lunstad, Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, and Senator Chris Murphy join Harry to assess the crisis’s magnitude, causes, consequences, and possible reduction strategies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It was a week when the gloves came off in several high-stakes and historic battles, and a great set of Washington insiders—Jon Alter, Carol Lee, and Norm Ornstein—break it all down. Trump took it twice straight on the chin with the historic testimony of Mike Pence in the Grand Jury and the E. Jean Carroll trial. The House Rs passed a debt-reduction bill that put the White House on the defensive. And Biden announced his 2024 candidacy, framing it as a battle for democracy.
