Show Notes
In this episode of The Tara Palmieri Show, author Chris Whipple joins the discussion to analyze whether anyone can stop Donald Trump's worst instincts ahead of the midterms. The conversation addresses Trump's reported desires to deploy the National Guard and armed personnel to polling places, evaluating whether state-level election officials can serve as an effective safeguard against federal overreach. Whipple shares insights from his ten months speaking with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, exploring whether she can serve as the ultimate guardrail or if her tight bond with Trump renders her ineffective in stopping retribution and pardons for insurrectionists.

I break down my intense debate on Piers Morgan with online provocateur Michael Tracey after he published and subsequently deleted the alleged identity of the Jane Doe in the Cornell Seven case. Why does he consistently target sexual assault survivors and attempt to undermine high-profile claims? From his actions during the Jeffrey Epstein investigation to his flawed legal defense under the Sixth Amendment, we examine what really drives this behavior and the real-world dangers faced by victims who come forward.
