The Daily Signal - Why This Former Lawyer Would Have Argued ‘Very Differently’ If He Had Represented Derek Chauvin
Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of murder.
Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who pressed his knee against George Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes, was convicted Tuesday of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
For three weeks, jury members listened to attorneys' arguments during the trial in Minneapolis. On Tuesday afternoon, the jury announced that it had found Chauvin guilty on all charges.
If given the opportunity to represent Chauvin, “I would have done it very differently,” said John Hinderaker, president of the Golden Valley, Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment and a graduate of Harvard Law School. He practiced law for more than 40 years.
Hinderaker joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the arguments made during the trial. He also describes the atmosphere in Minneapolis as the city continues to brace for unrest.
The interview with Hinderaker was recorded on Tuesday afternoon, ahead of the announcement of the jury’s verdict.
We also cover these stories:
- The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing to discuss voting rights and Georgia’s new election law.
- President Joe Biden calls the Floyd family on Tuesday morning to talk with them about the trial of Chauvin.
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz declares a state of emergency for seven counties surrounding Minneapolis-St. Paul in preparation for expected violence and disorder following a verdict in the Chauvin case.

Amarica's Constitution - Leaving The Field
In the wake of the imminent release of The Words That Made Us, Akhil takes us to the end of the story - or was it? The deaths of America’s founders were all memorable in ways that reflected the character of each. This can’t be a coincidence, he maintains, and if it wasn’t, then what was it? The founders managed to leave their mark on the stage as they left it, and in so doing, and in some sense, they didn’t leave.
This Machine Kills - 62. Amazon, Vanguard of Class War (ft. Alex N. Press)
To conduct a post-mortem investigation on the Amazon warehouse union vote in Bessemer, Alabama, we’re joined by Alex N. Press—staff writer for Jacobin and one of our favorite labor reporters. As Alex wrote recently, “In the United States, every step of the unionization process is stacked against workers. It is a miracle that anyone ever unionizes.” We discuss the militancy of capital, the organizing conditions of labor today, and the battle for building worker power. The deck was stacked. We lost this fight. But the class war wages on.

Time To Say Goodbye - DOWN A DARK STAIRWELL – Akai Gurley, Peter Liang, and how communities are built with filmmaker Ursula Liang
Hello,
A special episode this week with filmmaker Ursula Liang about her new film Down a Dark Stairwell. It’s out now on PBS and we hope everyone who listens to the show watches this nuanced, thoughtful and brave film. I (Jay) first saw Ursula’s work in 9-Man, a film about sports in Chinatown. Since then, I’ve followed her career carefully because what she does — deep community reporting, thoughtful portrayals of the concerns of all types of people, and the care with which she makes her films — exemplifies everything good about journalism and documentary filmmaking.
This is a film about many things, but at it’s core, it’s about how two communities deal with a police killing. And through verite footage and intimate interviews, it shows how people both come together and split apart while trying to navigate problems that fall well outside the easy consensus. On the show, we talk a lot about the need to go beyond rigid identity categories and simple, doctrinaire explanations. If you want to watch what that looks like, watch this film.
The film is available in both Chinese and English — both versions available to stream here.
