The search warrant released following the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence shows that the government is considering charging Trump with the Espionage Act. Civil libertarians have been trying to reform the Espionage Act since the earliest point in the Obama Administration. Rall and the Misfits discuss whether Republicans who now call for “Defund the FBI” will get the job done and reform the agency.Anthony Omene, Toronto-based writer and co-host of the “Unredacted” podcast joins the show to talk about medical assisted dying in Canada. For the past year, people have been sounding the alarm not necessarily because of a principled objection to euthanasia, but because they fear the program could end up causing disabled people to end their lives unnecessarily, not because they would want to die under any circumstances, but because the support they get from their government is too meager to allow them to live in comfort and dignity, and they feel there are no other options.
