Who Are the Extremists in Your Neighborhood? + A Conversation With Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson January 18, 2021
Tomorrow's inauguration may spell the end for Donald Trump's disastrous presidency, but the monster he unleashed upon us January 6th will be with us for a generation. Michael discusses how the rioters were not some extraordinary group of hardened extremists, but rather, they come from our own communities; representing, as writer Hannah Arendt noted in her landmark 1963 New Yorker essay about the trial of Adolf Eichmann, "the banality of evil." The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson joins Michael to discuss how we go about dismantling Trump's ugly legacy and hold the rioters and those who supported them accountable.

Inside Trump’s Impeachment + A Conversation with Ali Velshi January 14, 2021
On Wednesday, Donald Trump became the first President in US history to be impeached twice, this time for inciting an insurrection and sending a mob to attack the US capital in a desperate move to remain in power. The impeachment saw rare bi-partisan support with nine GOP representatives joining the democrats in calling for the president's ouster. The trial now moves to the Senate. MSNBC host Ali Velshi joins Michael as they analyze this unprecedented moment.

Why Trump Must Be Impeached + A Conversation with Soledad O’Brien January 11, 2021
Last Wednesday's MAGA insurrection may have been the end point for Trump's divisive rhetoric but is likely the beginning of a much wider war. Within the ranks of the rioters was a more hardcore group of extremists who were bent on finding and exterminating lawmakers driven into hiding inside the Capitol. Pictures show rioters clad in tactical gear and Kevlar vests carrying zip ties to round up Senators. That they probably had inside help is a chilling development only now being revealed. We speak with broadcast legend Soledad O'Brien on the future of journalism in the wake of the Capital Riot and Trump's disastrous tenure.
