You Aren't Cynical Enough: Why the Progressive Government is So Much Worse Than You Think with Special Guest Harvey A. Silverglate

from The Adult in the Room · host Victoria Taft

Harvey A. Silverglate is a prominent civil rights and criminal defense attorney, a co-founder and board member of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a former litigation counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, so he knows a thing or two about freedom of speech and abuse of power. Today, he joins the program to discuss how the Department of Justice has stoked what he considers a continued civil war in this country, leaving those with classical liberal ideals -- statistically, the vast majority of Americans -- caught in the crossfire between radicals on both the far left and far right. Meanwhile the government and the media uses the chaos to restrict rights and push its own agenda. In his book Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent, Silverglate detailed how the average American violates three obscure laws every single day without even knowing it. Currently, he's representing Dr. John Eastman, former counsel to President Trump, as he battles the California State Bar over their actions taken against Eastman in the aftermath of the 2020 election. He discusses that case, as well as others he's encountered in his long career as a champion of individual rights. ***** TOP STORIES Ray Epps' Lawyer Threatens Tucker Carlson: 'You Didn't See What You Saw on J6 Video — or Else' Man Who Stabbed Rand Paul Senate Aide in Broad Daylight Had Just Been Released from Prison Stop Lying: Watch How the Nashville School Killer Case Destroys Left's Myth About Guns The Nashville Killer Lied About Her Guns The Nashville Police Body Cam Video Will Make You Proud of Cops The Nashville Killer's Manifesto Will Be Released.
