Today's show will focus, unusually, on a past event: the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. We will discuss what this means for our democracy, for the media, and for the political future. We'll also discuss Twitter's rules for the midterm elections.
Finally, we'll discuss the one-year anniversary, which is this coming week, of the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left the Taliban in charge and abandoned thousands of people and billions of dollars in military equipment.
Special guests:
Chris Farrell - of Judicial Watch, on filings for transparence in Trump raid
Alan Dershowitz - on the DOJ's tactics in the Trump raid, and Hillary parallel
Ari Fleischer - on his new book on media bias, and the Mar-a-Lago raid
Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) - on having his phone seized by the DOJ
Colin Madine - Breitbart News tech editor, on Twitter's new rules
Carrie Severino - of Judicial Crisis Network, on AG Merrick Garland
Jamil Hassan - translator for David Petraeus, on the fall of Afghanistan

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel
- The attempt to sink Kennedy
- The war in Gaza

- The Trump presidency
