Ep 552 | Soleimani’s Demise and Fighting to Our Strengths: Today, we are joined by retired Col. Dan Steiner to deliver a briefing and analysis on the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani that you will not hear anywhere else. We push back against the false dichotomy between sitting idly while Iran attacks us and getting sucked into more nation-building escapades. Trump did the right thing, according to Col. Steiner, and he can now chart a path toward peace through strength rather than nation-building. Plus, how this affects Russia, China, and even our own border. Steiner gives us the full picture being ignored by everyone in the media.

The Good News is Not Every Part of the Frog Has Been Boiled Quite Yet: From the potential for abuse associated with indictments like those handed down in the case of Julian Assange to the potential for abuse in not handing down such indictments, from the president's continued bullying of his adversaries and those who might testify against him to the ever-growing list of court cases involving Donald Trump and his team, our system is being tested as never before. But there are some glimmers of hope such as signs the judiciary will stand up to the White House's assault on the rule of law and growing sentiment that further steps must be taken to hold Trump accountable. On this episode of DSR Live, our guests, Ryan Goodman of Just Security and NYU Law School and former prosecutor Mimi Rocah, a regular MSNBC commentator, discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of America's simmering political and legal crisis. Tune in for an in-depth discussion that could not be more timely. by Deep State Radio

The Only Pro in the Trump Administration is the One in Quid Pro Quo: It has been a few days of staggering incompetence, ignorance, corruption and betrayal from the Trump Administration. The Kurds were betrayed not once but twice, most recently by a sham deal that facilitates Turkish ethnic cleansing. The White House Chief of Staff admitting a quid pro quo in the Ukraine scandal while, at the same time, announcing that the US would host the next G7 meeting at a Trump resort in Florida. Trump senior officials were taking turns throwing each other under the bus. And momentum to remove the president from office was gaining momentum. It takes a great group to sort this all out and we have them: Ryan Goodman of "Just Security" and NYU Law, Rosa Brooks, of Georgetown Law (and, maybe, president of the Deep State) and Ed Luce of the Financial Times analyze, explicate, lament and commiserate with you our dear listeners. Tune in! Support this show <a t by Deep State Radio

Can’t Build a Wall? How About an Alligator Moat? | Guest: Nick Di Paolo | 10/02/19: The media are tearing apart award-winning journalist John Solomon, whom they saw as credible until he covered Ukraine. The newest media attack on Trump is that he suggested replacing the border wall with alligator moats and shooting immigrants in the legs. But did he actually say that? Glenn, the audience, and comedian Nick Di Paolo all believe he probably did. And according to Nick, it’s better to die from obesity than from starvation.

If You Think Post-Impeachment Hearings Depression is Bad, Wait Till You See What's Next: Adam Schiff masterfully conducted impeachment hearings that made the case that Donald Trump sought to bribe and extort the president of Ukraine, using his official office to advance personal interests. The case is a lock. Except if facts don't matter. Or if you don't care. And that's the GOP position. And guess what comes next? Distractions and circuses and Bill Barr investigations into the origins of the Mueller Report and Lindsay Graham fishing expeditions on Hunter Biden and the High Court of noted champion of fairness in government Mitch McConnell. In other words, a shitshow wrapped in a goatfuck shrouded in a partisan perversion of justice. But don't guess at what's coming next, listen to former US attorney and commentator Harry Litman and NYU Law professor Ryan Goodman as they prepare you for the worst...and why to cling to hope. Tune in.</ by Deep State Radio
