#235 - Ed Martin
Notas do episódio
An Uber driver who wouldn't turn off the music, a viral AI video of President Trump 'unveiling' a portrait of Jesus that never happened, and former U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin on what he says he found in Jack Smith's emails. First, the ride to the airport, and why Eric prayed for that driver the whole way. Then a conservative friend's post that Eric calls antisemitic, and the "Judas" text that ended the friendship. And an AI video, posted in April 2026 and still circulating, of President Trump pulling back a curtain to reveal a portrait of Jesus. It never happened: the real footage, from a March 2025 Fox News tour, shows the Declaration of Independence. "If you have to lie and play that game, you know you're not serving Jesus." Co-host Chris Himes adds his own run-in with what he calls spiritual warfare, and Eric explains why Jesus is the only answer to real evil.Ed Martin, former director of the Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group and former interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, left the Justice Department in August. He talks about the 6 or 7 years he worked alongside Phyllis Schlafly, the January 6 defendants he represented pro bono, why he says "we got to finish the job," and what he says he wants for Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith. He also talks about the D.C. Bar charges against him and his new nonprofit, the Mercy Project, launching Dec. 8, to help ordinary Americans seek clemency.Eric's new book, Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World, is available wherever books are sold.
