I gave the podcast a good try but am unfollowing. I feel some of the repeated journalists (as well as sometimes the host) often give the same talking points we’ve already heard/read in the news over and over. Too much predictable beltway/pundit types of exchanges. For people like me who keep up with political developments, we need more insightful thinking, less surface scratching, etc.

Fair, balanced, knowledgeable discussions. Fighting against the fascist propaganda! Thank you all!

Cory Booker is way more inspiring than I ever knew. Wow! Wonderful interview. Thank you, Elizabeth

Expand Congress Mr. Booker, it’s not all about you. Consider the 1929 Reapportionment Act and get up to do something about that, instead of just talking.

I have a hard time listening to Harry take so long to ask questions of his guests. Harry tends to take too much time making his points, when I rather hear what his guests have to say.

California screaming guests: the worst. “The senator should have worn a suit” You have got to be kidding.

Great conversation. Gives me hope.

Thank you Harry for all your fantastic reporting and perspectives over the years on network TV, and on your podcasts! I truly enjoy your guest speakers, especially today’s (6/5/25) with Rick Wilson! Maybe he should run for president in 2028?! I’m 63 yrs old and was always a center right voter, selecting candidates on both sides of the aisle based on current issues. In 2017 I became Never Trumper Again after voting for him in 2016. 2 mos after the election I witnessed the Access Hollywood tape and truly regretted my voting decision. Since then I’ve paid much closer attention to fact checking all of the political rhetoric coming from far right republicans and have voted a straight democratic ticket. It surely appears their goals are to just to enrich themselves, Trump and his family, their big money friends, and corporate CEO’s through continuous hypocrisy and lies. I’m now convinced Trump purposely hid his despicable and criminal past from the voters during that election and MUST eventually be held accountable for fraudulently winning in 2016! Voters like me who believed what he promised us - that he was a legitimate, successful business man who was capable of improving the US economic landscape - were unequivocally swindled and lied to! Our voting choices that year allowed him to continue his grifting scheme, and changed the trajectory of our Democracy into an Autocracy. I do not believe for 1 minute that ANY US citizen would voluntarily elect to give up living in a free society, violating our Constitution through ignoring our governance through the Rule of Law, and instead choose to be lead by a fear-mongering, vindictive, vengeful, narcissistic dictator!! If we had been shown the truth before the 2016 election took place we would have definitively made different voting choices, resulting in a different outcome. We now ALL MUST STAND TOGETHER and protest to fight this autocratic regime and restore our democracy, or we may simply not have the capacity to recover for decades to come! Thank you again Harry, and Rick Wilson, for speaking the truth relentlessly, making the sacrifices that you do, and for leading us to the right path back to freedom and fairness for all! 👏 🇺🇸

The Rick Wilson interview was inspiring!

This is a great show. Lots of good, solid information.

Adding Molly Mash-ups has moved this from 4- to 5-stars for me - more, please!

Very informative researched law/news. Always the TRUTH

Scott Galloway was incisive, enlightening and made me think hard about this subject, especially the alarming statistics he offered. As a mother of a 32-year old son and 29-year old daughter, I still can’t get past the “gag reflex” he aptly identified, for reasons so numerous I can’t fit them in this space. But logic and my own anecdotal evidence surely suggests a connection between lower teen pregnancy rates and lower alcohol consumption. I’m all for responsible social drinking, but reduced inhibitions can easily result in unwanted pregnancies. Not good for anyone, but especially women. Also, my fifty-year old nephew just died from a drug overdose; his long and tragic battle with that disease started with drinking alcohol as a young man. I’m a little sensitive to encouraging it, even if Mr. Galloway’s intentions are good. Also, statistical projections notwithstanding, I resist the implication that all or even most baby boomers are wealthy, especially when they’re of retirement age and still paying off their kids’ student loan debt.

I Love his updates daily & info & explanations of the latest Legal Issues happening. I ONLy WISH His YOUtube Channel would STOP using BIG PHOTOS of DT on Every TItLE! People have PTSD frim his First reign & many had Family die from HIs Pandemic. Please dont re Traumatize viewers with That PHOTO EVERY DAY HARRY. Aside from That, I LOvE your updates on podcast & YT.

Look forward to each episode. I am receiving the best Rule of Law education ever. Thank you.

I love Harry’s delivery - very knowledgeable, but with a dash of humor. There is an outstanding rotating panel of guests who provide insight into the latest in politics, law & government.

Always enjoy Harry’s perspective.

I come out a little smarter every time I listen to this podcast!

I love Harry Litman. His independence is inspiring. But, in today’s episode there was a section on law firms. There was mention of stand-up firms that did not buckle and on those who did buckle. I think there should also have been a section on those individuals who stood up AND on those like Emhoff and Katyal who didn’t quit their firms. It is time to call them out.

The show is so informative. I get smarter every minute I listen. Thanks to all the contributors.

❤️🤍💙

I have been so dispirited . Only Harry, his guests, and others like them have maintained my will to live

Thoughtful, informed and pragmatic. Pod breaks down issues and parses deeper implications, this working class auto-didactic doesn’t feel talked down to or passed. Thank you.

Grateful for the very thoughtful and spirited discussion!

I enjoy these discussions when they feature smart bureaucrats, but reconsider Litman’s judgement when he hosts people like Maggie “Access Journalism” Haberman, Steven “Pangloss” Pinker, and Max “I support Marco Rubio” Boot. I could also use a little less Norm Eisen, who sounds drunk on his own rhetoric.

This was an excellent episode.

This is one of the best podcasts in my rotation. Harry is a consummate host that strikes the perfect balance of managing the interactions of his guests while letting the conversation flow. His new one on one weekly episodes are a new treat! Always informative and entertaining, I never miss an episode.

Thank you Harry Litman! Here’s where to get the most up-to-date, incisive and - for a bit of relief - even sometimes funny observations - about our alarming state of affairs.

I took my title from their motto, but their motto describes them exactly. This discussion was cogent and full of heart. It gave me hope there’s a way to fight for what you believe.

WHAT a panel, Harry! Incredibly informative and in between all the horror, some green shoots of hope. Thank you!

Always deeply informative. Would you interview Erwin Chemerinsky on the reactionary notion of the “unitary president”? He breaks it down beautifully. Also just a bit less inside baseball as we are not all lawyers.

I love that Talking Feds is grounded in fact and law and gathers diverse perspectives to explain what is going on. It is so important to find independent sources of information to help keep myself informed in these times.

I’m a fairly regular listener but today for the first time listened to a Molly Matchup. Hey guys, I hate to say it but I disagree w/ you that the pollers’ public eventually will turn against Trump-Elon-MAGA. Stupid tho the visible behavior appears, just below the surface are some masterful strategists and manipulators - they will have full authoritarian control of what they want before the next election, and the only organized system of govt will be the oligarchs’ system of finance. And you won’t be able to vote it out

Always interesting and informative conversations. And I do love the closing “In Five Words or Less.”

This was the best episode ever. I listened 3 times and learned so much. At this time it is so important to know what to expect.

I love this informative pod but honestly frustrated by conservatives on here who still think we’re in some normal political situation in T’s second term. I have yet to hear the appropriate focus: all the Republicans who are 100% bought & paid for to take down our government & take their place in the new US Duma. I look forward to future content that point the way to resisting the unAmerican & unlawful administration.

In these times, Talking Feds is one of the most important podcasts for understanding the legal implications of current events.

Today’s show was enlightening & appreciated. When I heard one of the group, a male, call Jill Biden the worst First Lady ever, I flinched. Remember that if we as contrarians continue to play that game then we are no better than the current autocrats who play that same game. First Ladies are not connected at the hip with their partners.

I love Harry and his guests. The information in this podcast is accurate and informative.

Really? We’re still blaming women for the decisions and actions of their husbands? If that is true, then Melania Trump, Laura Bush, and Nancy Reagan were far worse First Ladies than Dr. Jill Biden. I enjoy and look forward to future work published by the Contrarian, but Talking Feds should find less misogynistic guests.

I just finished your episode with Marc Elias from 1/16/2025; so good to hear you celebrated for your independence from political, employer, and advertiser pressure, while delivering thoughtful, engaged content and interviews. Thank you for keeping the keel steady, solid, and informed though the rough seas of the past eight years. Here’s to may more!

Appalling that legal scholars continue to express feelings that the GOP-appointed SCOTUS is anything but deep in the Trump MAGA pocket.

Harry, please increase the number of your 1:1s. The in depth conversation gets us away from structured talking points. You shine in these sessions. With Rho Khanna in particular. Edward Marshall, Ph.D, Chapel Hill NC

The man reveals his true Illinois pol colors as a weaselly and unctuous ring-kisser, and you think that sounds like a great choice to discuss the morally bankrupt tech bro campaigns he's sidled up to? Sigh. Add Talking Feds to the long list of once trusted media sources that are looking questionable post-election.

I love listening to the politically astute minds at work in these podcasts. The topics are easy to follow and well explained. Great guests from whom I learn so much. Thank you Harry Littman.

Especially like the interview with Krystol

Short answer: Nope. A 5th-grader could win a debate against your insane views on illegal immigration. 1. We were told for the last 4 years that states have no jurisdiction in immigration law, it is the responsibility of the Federal government. Now, you’re fine with sanctuary states shielding illegals from enforcement by the Federal government. There are well over 1 million illegals that have already received due process (that the lied to be granted) and have deportation orders. 2. Trump was thwarted by insane lawfare in building the first wall. Then Lil Joey sold off the American peoples wall building mayerials at pennies on the dollar. Well done! 3. You are all OK with people illegally entering the country, taking American jobs, taking American taxpayer dollars in the form of welfare benefits, giving birth to babies that are deemed American citizens and initiate a whole new round of American taxpayer perks just so you have someone to cut your lawn and clean your toilet for $5 an hour?

Love the back and forth with Molly

We need these honest and frank conversations now more than ever. Keep talking!

Why would someone enthusiastically want and support more and bigger nanny statist government like Litman does? It’s contrary to the founders vision of limited government. When the show mentions a “round table of experts” all that means is a leftist jerkle is occurring.
