概要

 Mixing sharp wit and serious political fire, The Oath and The Office is where hard-hitting constitutional analysis meets razor-sharp comedy. Distinguished political science professor Corey Brettschneider teams up with comedian John Fugelsang to break down the most powerful 35 words in American democracy—the presidential oath of office. Every president swears to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution, but what happens when one openly attacks democracy and the rule of law itself? Each week, Corey and John pull no punches, exposing the latest threats to the rule of law and demanding accountability. Smart, fearless, and wickedly funny—this is the civics lesson you can’t afford to miss.Corey Brettschneider 政治・政府 政治学

  • Trump vs. the Rule of Law: A 5-Year-Old Detained + Election Power Grab

    Trump vs. the Rule of Law: A 5-Year-Old Detained + Election Power Grab
    2026/02/05
    A federal judge warns that Trump is violating the principles of law and the Declaration of Independence—and this week’s events show exactly what that means in practice.

    We break down the detention of a five-year-old and the collapse of due process, Trump’s threat against Trevor Noah and the future of free speech, and the raid on a Georgia election center. We also examine the authoritarian “tell” behind Trump’s call to “nationalize the voting”.

    Plus: Trump’s reported Fed Chair pick Kevin Warsh and the Epstein-files connection—and a brief turn to Bruce Springsteen on moral imagination and democracy.

    The Oath and The Office — weekly analysis of constitutional democracy under pressure.

  • Jan. 6 Then & Now: The Insurrection Blueprint (with Tom Joscelyn)

    Jan. 6 Then & Now: The Insurrection Blueprint (with Tom Joscelyn)
    2026/01/29
    Jan. 6 wasn’t just a riot—it was a blueprint. This week, we connect Jan. 6 then to now and ask the core question of self-government: what happens when federal power starts acting as if the rules don’t apply?

    Hosts Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang are joined by Tom Joscelyn—senior House Judiciary staff and a principal author of the House January 6 Committee’s final report—for a deep dive into the pressure campaign on Mike Pence, the false-electors plot, and why white supremacy and Christian nationalism were central to the attempt to overturn the election. Most importantly: how that same playbook is reappearing right now—and what it means for the rule of law.

    Before Tom joins, Corey and John break down the week’s accountability flashpoints:
    • The killing of a Minnesota nurse—and the competing public narratives and misinformation surrounding it
    • The growing wave of court pushback and legal scrutiny aimed at ICE tactics in Minnesota
    • Where the politics stand on defunding ICE—and what real oversight would require
    • DOJ’s move to file criminal complaints tied to the St. Paul church protest, plus the magistrate judge’s refusal to approve a warrant prosecutors sought (including an attempt involving Don Lemon)
    • A reported memo directing ICE agents to proceed with operations—including entry onto private property—regardless of warrants or legal standing, and what that means for constitutional rights

  • DOJ vs. Trump: The Indictment That Never Came (with Glenn Kirschner)

    DOJ vs. Trump: The Indictment That Never Came (with Glenn Kirschner)
    2026/01/22
    The indictment that never came is still shaping DOJ’s ongoing battle with Trump.

    In the first half, Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang break down this week’s accountability flashpoints:
    • The push to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — what impeaching a cabinet official actually means and why it matters now
    • The Supreme Court fight tied to the FTC with huge stakes for independent agencies and the question of whether a president can threaten the Federal Reserve
    • The looming tariff decision — and how tariffs are being used as political leverage, including in Trump’s pressure campaign involving Greenland
    Then Corey and John are joined by Glenn Kirschner (former federal prosecutor) for a blunt, inside-the-system conversation about:
    • What went wrong with Robert Mueller
    • The decision not to indict Trump — and the precedent it set
    • How DOJ “corruption” happens in real life: pressure, incentives, normalization
    • The hardest moral call for public servants: stay and fight, or resign and warn the country
    If the law won’t check power, what will?
