Description

Michael Smerconish reacts to a jaw-dropping development: January 6 rioters, already pardoned by President Trump, are now seeking financial compensation from the U.S. government — drawing comparisons to 9/11 victim funds. Is this a rewriting of history or political theater at its peak? Then, political analyst Mark Halperin joins for a wide-ranging conversation on Trump’s crime messaging, the role of the National Guard in major cities, and what both parties are getting wrong heading into the 2026 midterms. Original air date 3 September 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
