Tristan Snell, former Assistant Attorney General for New York State, discusses various legal cases linked to ex-president Donald Trump, primarily concerning Trump's election interference and the possible impacts on the forthcoming election. Eagerly awaited cases may not be decided upon until after Election Day. Hence, the voters could be voting without knowing the truth about Trump. Snell shares his comprehensive analysis of how the justice system's delay strategies and cable news also play roles in this process. He also discusses civil trials optimism and the potential implications of Trump's possible conviction. Furthermore, Snell reflects on the lessons from his book 'Taking Down Trump,' which addresses how to prosecute Trump effectively based on his experiences in the Trump University case.  
In this episode, former GOP Congressman Denver Riggleman joins to discuss the concerning election of far-right Republican Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Riggleman explains how Johnson's extreme views and embrace of election conspiracy theories pose a real "danger to democracy" given his position third in line to the presidency. Riggleman provides background on Johnson's surprise victory for Speaker, noting his "far, far, far right" stances and record promoting election fraud claims and QAnon conspiracies. He warns there is now a severe risk of Biden's impeachment efforts and undermining support for Ukraine under Johnson's leadership. _____ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR INDEPENDENT PODCASTS, AND YOUR DONATIONS ARE NOW TAX DEDUCTIBLE: PATREON.COM/NARATIV _____ Drawing on his investigative work for the January 6th committee, Riggleman reveals stunning insights from Mark Meadows' texts, which he argues provided a "roadmap to the insurrection." The messages spotlight connections between the Stop the Steal conspiracy theories and the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign. Most alarmingly, Riggleman discloses that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was embedded in these group texts coordinating with the White House on election challenges. He contends this suggests potential judicial branch involvement in subverting the election. Overall, Riggleman makes a compelling case that Johnson's rise to Speaker of the House signals the GOP's disturbing slide into extremism and tolerance of dangerous conspiracies. He surfaces the urgent need to counter these anti-democratic forces connected to January 6th that are still working to undermine the Biden presidency. Guest: Denver Riggleman, former GOP Congressman and author of "The Breach"

We're also diving into the murky depths of the Hunter Biden laptop controversy.

We discuss the explosive contents of the laptop, the possible smear campaign against the Biden family, and the fascinating chain of ownership of the laptop data. So buckle up!

In the concluding phase of our discussion, we highlight the broader implications of a potential Trump re-election for Tarrio and his co-defendants. We contemplate the deterrent effect of these sentences on other extremist groups while examining the ongoing power of Trump's rhetoric to incite violence.

Rupert Murdoch’s Australian newspapers hit the streets on Friday morning without the news that the media mogul was stepping down and his son Lachlan would become sole chair of News Corp and Fox Corp. The news was broken – after the print deadline in Australia – by one of Murdoch’s US mastheads, the Wall Street Journal.   This episode of Narativ is from the Narativ archive - Part 1 of Spy Murdoch: The Story Rupert Murdoch Doesn't Want You to Know about the Beginnings of Fox News. My guest is Pulitzer award winner David L. Marcus, Roy Cohn's cousin. This episode explores the unlikely alliance between Roy Cohn, Rupert Murdoch, and Ronald Reagan. We delve into how Rupert Murdoch gained traction in the media business in exchange for positive write-ups for Ronald Reagan in the New York Post. We explore Cohn's "Favor Bank" style of bartering, the close relationship between Ronald Reagan and Murdoch, and how this led to Murdoch getting sweetheart deals from Reagan's FCC. We then discuss the transaction-oriented politics of Murdoch and the role Wendy Deng and the Chinese market played in it. Roy Cohn was an unlikely ally of Rupert Murdoch. Cohen was a self-promoting political figure and the right-hand man to Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin. Their Un-American activities committee aimed to fight communism. David L. Marcus, Cohn's cousin, spent the last year of his life shadowing Cohn for a Vanity Fair article.

Hunter Biden's indictment isn't just a political chess piece - it's an intricate cog in the machine, gunning for President Biden's second term. We're tearing into the whirlwind of allegations, media responses, and the plot twists emanating from the White House. We're also shedding some light on the role of FBI counterintelligence agent Jonathan Buma and his whistleblower complaint, suggesting a narrative you may not be hearing: allegations against the Bidens might be part of a Russian and Chinese strategy to re-elect Donald Trump. We are digging into the big questions around Joe Biden's presidency and putting a magnifying glass to special counsel David Weiss' investigation, the Russia hoax, and its potential influence on future elections. We spare no detail in discussing David Letterman's on-air confession and what it means in the grand scheme of things. Moreover, we're throwing into sharp relief Donald Trump's potential return to the White House and Hunter Biden's business operation.
Trump, the proverbial Trojan horse for global adversaries, remains a daunting threat to our democracy. Brace yourself for an intense journey as we delve into his dark machinations - from the shocking revelations about Enrique Tarrio's 22-year sentence for his role in the January 6th assault on the US Capitol to the unnerving investigations against Roger Stone and Peter Navarro's contempt of Congress. The chilling reality of Trump's alliance with world adversaries, hell-bent on world domination, will leave you questioning the very foundations of our political landscape. We don't stop there. The specter of Trump running for president in 2024 and the potential for a catastrophic coup post-election looms ominously. Matt Gaetz's warning of potential bloodshed is unsettling, to say the least. Yet, the disqualification under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment could be the silver lining we seek. As we unravel these complex issues, we push the boundaries of conventional discourse and explore the legal implications of the 14th Amendment on Trump's eligibility. Uncover with us a fresh perspective on how Congressional determination of insurrection could render a guilty verdict unnecessary, potentially saving us from a terrifying dystopian future.   (0:00:00) - Trump's Threat to Democracy (0:09:21) - Risks of Trump's Potential Power Consolidation (0:16:41) - Trump's Ineligibility for Future Office Donald Trump, Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys, US Capitol, Roger Stone, Peter Navarro, Contempt of Congress, World Domination, Matt Gaetz, 14th Amendment, Ineligibility, Insurrection, Guilty Verdict, Autocratic Rule, Congressional Determination

This matrimonial alliance, we suspect, could be a convoluted conduit for a vast network of money, alliances, and oil at the heart of Libya's ongoing civil war. We dig deep into the intricate web of international politics and how this seemingly innocuous marital alliance may have paved the way for questionable ISIS Libyan oil distribution, potentially involving the Fuchs family and Vladimir Putin himself.

We explore whether this could be part of a larger scheme involving Putin, Rudy Giuliani, and a spider-web of corruption, with the implications of these actions reverberating across Saudi Arabia and Venezuela's nuclear and gas industry. Prepare for a rollercoaster ride as we unravel the high-stakes game of international politics and the murky world of oil control.

Former FBI senior agent-in-charge of counterintelligence at the New York Field Office, Charlie McGonigal, faces two indictments for his alleged ties to Oleg Deripaska and Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama. The investigation into the McGonigal Affair has revealed a deep geopolitical shift into oligarch diplomacy. We explore the connection between former FBI agents Charlie McGonigal and Mark Rossini, their involvement with the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and their associates Shefqet Dizdari and Oleg Deripaska. Narativ's new analysis of documents by Shefteq Dizdari reveals that Gazprom was behind a scheme to steal three American-operated Albanian oil fields in 2017 Last month a tanker carrying sanctioned Russian oil was seized off the coast of Albania, leading some to speculate that McGonigal had set up a legal firm with Mark Rossini and local Albanian businessman Shefqet Dizdari to facilitate the smuggling of sanctioned Russian oil. Our guest Mark Crawford, Chairman Emeritus of the American Chamber of Commerce in Albania, will shed light on this matter for the first time. Join us as we uncover further details from this worst spy scandal in FBI history, The McGonigal Affair.

Russia's new offensive in Ukraine failed to materialize on the first anniversary of the war's start. Some people credit Joe Biden's visit to Ukraine earlier in the week for Russia's decision not to ramp up their attacks on Ukrainian forces and civilians. In this episode, I spoke with Ruslan Deynychenko, executive director of StopFake.org, about Biden's recent visit to Kyiv. He shared his experience living in Kyiv during a war and how the conflict has had a negative impact on children and families. We also discussed the potential for increased Chinese support for Russian forces and the devastating effects that would have on the region. Deynychenko talked about the work of Stop Fake and how it has successfully tackled misinformation and disinformation in Ukraine. Lastly, we discussed the ongoing disinformation offensive worldwide and how it has been used to divide people.
