The Plea Bargain Trap: How Prosecutors Coerce Justice w/ Mike Fox || EP 1671

from Good Morning Liberty

Mike Fox of the Cato Institute joins Josh to discuss the trial of Kilmer Abrego Garcia and how the Trump administration's attempted use of a plea bargain—and Garcia's refusal to accept it—has put not only the administration's mistake in his case but also the entire plea bargaining process in the spotlight. Using the Garcia case as one example, Josh and Mike explore how prosecutors wield plea bargains. They examine the manipulative and heavy-handed tactics that convince the majority of defendants to surrender their right to a trial by a jury of their peers.   Mike's article in Reason: https://reason.com/2025/10/09/whats-really-at-stake-in-the-kilmar-abrego-garcia-case/   Follow Mike's work at the Cato Institute, and on X: https://www.cato.org/people/mike-fox https://x.com/foxmike90?s=21&t=S8JoQpY3m4n6bFrTo8tLrg   🚨Prolon is offering listeners 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!  Just visit https://ProlonLife.com/GML   🔗[ALL LINKS]:  https://gml.bio.link   📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv   🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub   ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
