Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Madigan Federal Corruption Trial: What You Need To Know

Jury selection in the federal corruption trial of former Illinois House speaker Michael Madigan continues this week. Madigan was long known as the “velvet hammer” for his subtle but powerful grip on state politics. He was the longest-serving speaker in American history, a position he held for 36 years under seven Illinois governors. In March 2022, he was indicted on 22 counts of racketeering and bribery charges for “allegedly using his official position to corruptly solicit and receive personal financial rewards for himself and his associates,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois. Reset discusses with Chicago Sun-Times federal courts reporter Jon Seidel what you need to know to follow WBEZ and Sun-Times reporting on the trial as it unfolds.

Opening Arguments - How Does Anyone Not See the Fascism

OA1077, Part 2 of Matt's MAGA is Fascist series.

The MAGA movement has just taken a hard turn  to the extreme right with openly fascist messaging from Donald Trump about “migrant crime,” “occupied cities,” and “bad genes.”  We take a moment to absorb this alarming reality before Matt also explains how US immigration policy has always been the leading edge of American protofascism--and why Adolf Hitler personally admired it--before taking a look at Trump’s actual 2024 immigration promises and what keeping them would mean for us all.

Lost Debate - Polls, Persuasion, and Precincts: Breaking Down the Final Stretch

Will infrequent voters turn out this November? Ravi shares his prediction as he dives into the latest election updates, from new insights on the Harris campaign's ground game and the inner workings of political PACs and influencers to what voters can learn from Trump's recent media appearances.

Next, Ravi welcomes Kim Wehle back to the show to explore the reality of election fraud claims, including JD Vance's recent comments on the 2020 election and why Hunter Biden's name is back in the news. They then take a broader look at the state of election reform, focusing on changes to election laws in key states like Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and how they may impact the voting process in November.

Finally, Ravi and Kim turn to Kim's new book, Pardon Power: How the Pardon System Works and Why, and discuss Trump's promise to pardon January 6th participants and the legal ramifications of these claims.
