Legal Showdowns of Trump’s 2nd Term: Alan Dershowitz Breaks It All Down
3/13/2025
“There’s a perception,” Dershowitz notes, “that when Biden takes executive action, it’s seen as governance, while similar actions by Trump are labeled authoritarian.”
Jillian welcomes Alan Dershowitz, one of the most influential legal minds in America. A Harvard Law professor emeritus, renowned constitutional scholar, and best-selling author, Dershowitz has spent decades defending civil liberties, analyzing Supreme Court cases, and discussing how legal standards evolve in political contexts. Though a lifelong liberal, he has been unafraid to call out inconsistencies in how legal principles are applied based on political convenience.
Dershowitz offers his legal perspective on key constitutional debates, including the limits of executive power and the ongoing legal battles involving former President Trump. He examines how past administrations exercised executive authority and why similar actions today face different legal challenges. The discussion also touches on debates surrounding birthright citizenship, security clearances, federal government restructuring, government efficiency proposals (including those discussed by Elon Musk), and education policy reform.
Additionally, Dershowitz explores broader questions about the judiciary’s role, government accountability, and how legal interpretations shift over time. Is the application of the law evolving fairly, or are legal principles being enforced selectively?

How Negligence and Corruption Fueled California's Wildfires
1/15/2025
Lack of preparedness. Forestry mismanagement. Water mis-prioritization. And political failures at the highest levels...Jillian Michaels unpacks the latest wildfire catastrophe in Los Angeles with two powerhouse journalists - Michael Shellenberger and Ana Kasparian. What or who caused these fires and could this unmitigated disaster have been mitigated? Reservoirs were inexplicably drained during peak fire season. Hydrants weren’t working properly. Mismanaged evacuation orders led to gridlock, forcing terrified residents to flee on foot while meter maids continued writing parking tickets just miles away. Fire department budgets were slashed. Crucial bills, designed to enable life-saving prescribed burns, were vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom. And Mayor Karen Bass focused on optics as critical infrastructure collapsed. Negligence? Corruption? It’s time to find out. In this show we’re tearing apart the political and systemic failures that created a catastrophic inferno. This is about more than Los Angeles—this is a warning for every community grappling with leadership unfit to manage crisis.
