LAW AND DISORDER NOVEMBER 2, 2026
Co-hosts Michael Smith and Jim Lafferty take a look at the threats to the midterm elections brought by the Trump administration. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges joins us to talk about this historic election, one in which Trump has promised that he'll only accept the results if he wins.
Hosts then look at how a Chicago civil rights attorney won his clients a $260 million settlement, the largest to date in the history of Chicago. Seventeen men spent nearly 400 years combined in prison for wrongful murder convictions.Will the settlement actually bring about reforms? Attorney Anand Swaminathan, who represented these men will explain the details of this under-reported case.
