A half-dozen Maryland Congress members were denied access to a federal immigration field office used to temporarily hold people facing deportation this week. Maryland has become a focus of politics of immigration due to the suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is a Salvadoran illegal immigrant currently on trial for human trafficking charges in Tennessee. This latest attempt to randomly visit an ICE facility was blasted by DHS Secretary Noem who said they just wanted a photo-op with a 'violent criminal'. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Maryland Congressman Rep. Johnny Olszewski who was part of the group trying to visit the facility, and says his concern is making sure all possible deportations are done with due process.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced America's AI action plan, emphasizing that the country must not allow China or any other nation to surpass it. The plan consists of three key components: accelerating innovation, building data centers and other artificial intelligence infrastructure, and leading in international diplomacy and security. Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), co-chair of the U.S. Congressional Artificial Intelligence Task Force, joins the discussion to explore the framework and how the U.S. can win the AI race. The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS) recently reviewed over 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, which is now called Network for Hope, and found a disturbing trend. The report shows one hundred cases having what they called "concerning features," including examples of donors still showing neurological signs, and entailing that an organ procurement processes began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joins the podcast to discuss the report and how they are correcting specific organ transplant procedures.

The United States has withdrawn its ceasefire delegation from Doha after Israel has also made the same move saying Hamas has again rejected the terms of the latest proposal. Israel has also announced they will be suspending military operations in Gaza during the daytime in order to allow more aid to reach those in need.

He says he expects a few more deals before Friday, when tariffs will increase for nations that fail to reach an agreement with the U.S. Carol Roth, former investment banker and author, joins Gerri Willis on the Fox Business Rundown to discuss the president's latest trade deals, and how inflation and other economic data could impact the upcoming Fed meeting and their decision to cut interest rates.

On July 4th, President Trump signed into law the comprehensive budget plan, known as the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill.' The President announced that there's hardly a livelihood that this bill would not benefit. Over the weekend, the House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing at the Reagan Library in California to listen to those who praised the bill. However, since President Trump signed it, Democrats have kept up their opposition to the budget plan. Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) joins the Rundown to discuss how the 'big bill' will benefit Americans.  An increasing number of Americans are choosing to work for themselves. According to new research from Statista, more than half of the workforce in the United States is expected to be freelancing by 2028. In response, lawmakers are advocating for independent workers to receive voluntary, portable workplace benefits. In the meantime, gig workers in some states are already benefiting from a pilot program launched by DoorDash that offers a savings account. The Vice President and Global Head of Public Policy at DoorDash, Max Rettig, joins the podcast to discuss the details of this program.

This Day in Legal History: Fourteenth Amendment RatifiedOn July 28, 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was officially adopted, reshaping the legal and constitutional landscape of the nation. Ratified in the wake of the Civil War, it was one of the Reconstruction Amendments designed to integrate formerly enslaved people into American civic life. Section 1 of the amendment granted citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States," effectively nullifying the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which had held that Black people could not be citizens.The amendment also introduced two foundational legal principles: the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. These clauses placed new limitations on state governments, barring them from infringing on individual rights and mandating that laws be applied equally to all people. The Due Process Clause would later become a cornerstone in expanding civil liberties, providing the basis for numerous Supreme Court decisions involving privacy, marriage, and bodily autonomy. The Equal Protection Clause became instrumental in the fight against racial segregation and discrimination, notably underpinning Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which dismantled “separate but equal” doctrine in public education.Initially resisted by many Southern states, the amendment's ratification was made a condition for reentry into the Union. Over time, its scope grew far beyond the post-Civil War context, influencing legal battles on gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and immigration. It also played a critical role in the doctrine of incorporation, through which many protections in the Bill of Rights became applicable to state governments. The Fourteenth Amendment remains one of the most litigated and interpreted sections of the Constitution, central to the American concept of civil rights and liberties.A&O Shearman has postponed the start date for some of its incoming associates until January, according to a source familiar with the matter. The firm typically offers new associates a choice between two start dates and provides a salary advance to those opting for the later one. The decision comes amid broader industry trends of delaying associate onboarding as a cost-management strategy in response to uneven client demand, despite overall revenue growth among top firms.Formed through the May 2024 merger of Shearman & Sterling and Allen & Overy, A&O Shearman is now the fourth-largest law firm by revenue. While the firm's revenue has benefited from broader sector gains, it faces challenges tied to economic uncertainty and trade tensions. Internally, a cohort of associates had reportedly resisted leadership shortly before the firm joined other legal powerhouses in agreements involving legal services to President Trump—moves seen as efforts to fend off sanctions and settle federal investigations into workplace diversity practices. The firm also experienced a recent exodus in its London office, with nine lawyers, including eight associates, departing in June.A&O Shearman Pushes Start Date to January for Some AssociatesA New York state appeals court has ruled that social media companies cannot be held legally responsible for the 2022 mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 people dead. The court reversed a lower court's decision, finding that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit are shielded by Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act, which grants online platforms immunity from liability for user-generated content. The lawsuit alleged that these platforms were designed to addict and radicalize users, including the shooter, Payton Gendron.Justice Stephen Lindley, writing for the 3-2 majority, argued that holding platforms liable would threaten the open nature of the internet and contradict Congress's intent to foster innovation and limit government interference. He acknowledged the horrific nature of the shooting and the hateful content that influenced it but warned that allowing liability would cause the internet to collapse into tightly restricted message boards.Dissenting justices contended that the platforms actively pushed extremist content through targeted algorithms, suggesting that this behavior went beyond neutral hosting. Other platforms used by Gendron, including Amazon, Discord, 4chan, Snap, and Twitch, were also named in the lawsuit. Gendron is currently serving a life sentence without parole after pleading guilty to state charges, and he still faces federal charges that may lead to the death penalty.Social media companies not liable for 2022 Buffalo mass shooting, New York court rules | ReutersA federal judge in Massachusetts has reaffirmed a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to limit birthright citizenship. Judge Leo Sorokin ruled that only a nationwide halt could fully protect the coalition of 22 Democratic-led states challenging the policy, rejecting arguments from the Trump administration that a narrower ruling would suffice following a recent Supreme Court decision. The executive order, signed on Trump's first day back in office in January, directed federal agencies to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children unless at least one parent was a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.Judge Sorokin found that allowing the policy to take effect even in some states would harm immigrant families and disrupt federal benefits programs like Medicaid. Plaintiffs argued it would create a confusing and unfair patchwork of citizenship rules and overwhelm states not enforcing the order. The Trump administration maintained that the Constitution was being misinterpreted, and signaled plans to appeal.Although the Supreme Court recently limited the use of nationwide injunctions, it allowed exceptions under certain conditions—exceptions Sorokin found applicable here. Meanwhile, a separate federal appeals court in California also ruled that Trump's executive order violated the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause and blocked it nationwide.US judge reaffirms nationwide injunction blocking Trump executive order on birthright citizenship | ReutersCalifornia has dropped plans to require Internet service providers (ISPs) to offer $15-per-month broadband plans to low-income residents, following pressure from both the Trump administration and major telecom companies. Assemblymember Tasha Boerner, who led the effort, said her office was warned that enforcing such a law could jeopardize California's access to $1.86 billion in federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funding. The administration's revised BEAD rules prohibit states from setting explicit or implicit broadband pricing requirements.Despite earlier court wins by New York upholding a similar law, Boerner chose to pull the bill after the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) confirmed that even applying for BEAD funds could exempt ISPs from state pricing rules. Advocates and lawmakers criticized the move as a giveaway to large corporations, arguing it undermines efforts to ensure affordable internet access. Boerner had already watered down the bill in negotiations with ISPs, reducing required speeds and allowing ISPs to handle eligibility verification—both points that drew backlash from digital equity groups.Advocates argued the BEAD funding was intended for new broadband infrastructure, while the California bill focused on existing networks, meaning the NTIA's restrictions shouldn't apply. Critics also pointed out that the proposed speed standards were below the federal definition of broadband, and that delegating verification to ISPs risked privacy and access issues. While Boerner acknowledged the need for affordable broadband, she said the risk of losing billions in federal funds wasn't worth pushing the mandate. A separate Senate bill aims to encourage, but not require, ISPs to offer low-cost plans by linking them to subsidies.California backs down to Trump admin, won't force ISPs to offer $15 broadband - Ars Technica This is a public episode.

The Australian Parliament passed the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Reconsiderations) Bill 2025, restricting the Minister for the Environment's power to reconsider certain past decisions under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). This change has significant implications for environmental oversight, particularly in cases where new information emerges about the impact of ongoing land use activities, such as the concerns raised over salmon farming in Tasmania's Macquarie Harbour and its potential effect on the endangered Maugean skate. Holding Redlich Special Counsel Katharine Huxley is an environment and planning lawyer with experience in development, compliance, local government, and administrative law, who can discuss the implications of this significant new amendment. In this interview, Huxley explains what this will mean for future land use and environmental management in general.

Since taking office for a second term, illegal border crossings have dropped to record lows under President Donald Trump. However, his mass deportation policies are facing criticism, as detractors argue that his administration is not solely targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records, and the crackdown could adversely affect industries that rely on migrant workers. In response, there is a bipartisan push to allow certain illegal immigrants who have lived and worked in the country since before 2021 to remain in the country. Florida Republican Congresswoman Maria Salazar spearheaded the Dignity Act and joins the Rundown to discuss her efforts. For decades, we've seen headlines about honeybee colony collapses plaguing beekeepers. Now the headlines are back, as honeybees are dying in record numbers. With more than a third of our food crops dependent on these vital pollinators, there is concern that these collapses could have wide-sweeping financial impacts for Americans. Ryan Burris, president of the California State Beekeepers Association and a third-generation beekeeper, joins the podcast to explain why so many bees are dying and why he is advocating for stronger government support in providing farmers with the tools to fight evolving threats to the nation's food system.

Summarizing the extraordinary events surrounding the 2020 election, the California State Bar Court's review decision issued a decision in June 2025 recommending that President Trump's election attorney, John Eastman, be disbarred. Tim and Jeff unpack.Was Eastman merely theorizing, or actively advocating for a constitutional end-run?What is the difference, anyway, whether Eastman represented the President—an office that plays no constitutional role in the VP's role regarding the electoral votes?Eastman's interpretation of the 12th Amendment was not supported by scholars—but also not judicial foreclosed. Does advocating it warrant disbarment? (The equal-protection argument in Bush v. Gore was similarly off-the-wall, yet successful!)Eastman's factual claims were not well-supported. But on the other hand, did the unique circumstances and recent election-law innovations promote a flurry of suspicion—with too little time to vet before challenges would be moot?The bar court says Eastman should have relied on "true experts"—what is that?

A new report details the sexual assault, mutilation and gang rapes perpetrated by the Hamas terror group against Israel during the October 7th attack. The report was authored by 'The Dinah Project', a global initiative to highlight sexual violence being used in conflict zones, and was led by led Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, a women's rights activist and law professor at Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Israel. The report wants other human rights groups to understand that Hamas weaponized sexual violence for further intimidation and they are demanding the United Nations call out the Palestinian terror group for it. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Doctor Qanta Ahmed, world renown physician based in New York and she is a journalist and a human and women's rights activist, who says it is difficult to find the words to describe the horrors that were used during the October 7th terror attack but we cannot shy away from the stories. *** Listeners be aware, this segment contains graphic descriptions of sexual violence and mutilation perpetrated during the October 7th Hamas terror attack on Israel.

The President of the Philippines was at the White House on Tuesday visiting President Trump, discussing the issue of China and their ambitions to expand. U.S. lawmakers have asked the Defense Department to study building a joint munitions hub in the Philippines, as China continues to menace other nations crossing through the South China Sea. When it comes to American military spending, we are on track to allocate more than $920 billion in the next fiscal year, and it appears there's bipartisan support to fully fund this Pacific Deterrence Initiative. Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott sits on the Armed Services and Homeland Security Committee, and he joined the Rundown to discuss the long-term threats posed by both China and Iran. The CDC reports an estimated 48,422 deaths from synthetic opioids, mostly fentanyl, in 2024. With a dangerous amount of the drug supply now laced with this deadly substance, overdose deaths are surging, especially among young people. President Trump recently signed the Halt Fentanyl Act, expanding law enforcement's ability to crack down on traffickers. Gregory Swan, who lost his son Drew to a fentanyl overdose in 2013, co-founded Fentanyl Fathers to raise awareness and prevent more families from suffering the same loss. He joins the Rundown to discuss his mission: educating students, empowering parents, and mobilizing a movement to fight the fentanyl crisis.

Is there a way President Trump (or any president) can serve a third (or fourth) term in office? Maybe there is. Most people assume the 22nd Amendment limits a president to two terms, period. What happens when the president, or legal scholars, challenge that assumption?  Joining us to talk about that is Bruce Peabody of Fairleigh Dickinson University.  WIN A NEW CAR OR 25K IN CASH DURING NHPR'S SUMMER RAFFLE!

Hour 4 dives into the silence and confusion around Jerome Powell's Fed speech, while calls grow louder from Treasury Secretary Bessett and others to overhaul or even dismantle the Federal Reserve amid reckless spending and lack of oversight. Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins joins to explain the fight to correct deceptive ballot language on abortion following the disastrous Amendment 3, promising a clearer, pro-life alternative in 2026 amid heavy out-of-state funding battles. Ryan Wiggins weighs in on the Fed's political games and the growing investigation into election integrity sparked by Tulsi Gabbard's whistleblower referrals. The hour closes with a brutal take on Hunter Biden's profane podcast meltdown—where he rants about immigration, drugs, and his failing finances—plus a warning about Pepsi's upcoming “prebiotic” soda that could surprise unsuspecting consumers.

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins joins Marc to break down the critical effort to undo last year's disastrous Amendment 3 abortion ruling, which legalized late-term abortion up to birth in the state constitution after heavy out-of-state spending and misleading ballot language. Hoskins explains the new legislative fix, HJR 73, coming to the 2026 ballot with clearer language and protections for rape, incest, and the mother's life—more in line with Missouri values. He also details his expanded role in crafting the ballot language and the inevitable lawsuits challenging his wording. The conversation touches on Missouri's fight against foreign dark money in elections and Hoskins' strong support for term limits to curb entrenched politicians in Washington and Jefferson City. The battle ahead is clear: conservatives must stay engaged and fund opposition to deceptive campaigns if they want to protect Missouri's pro-life stance.

Kayla Hamilton was just a 20-year-old Maryland women when she was tied-up, sexually assaulted and strangled to death by 17-year-old illegal migrant Walter Javier Martinez. Martinez was in the U.S. claiming Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) status. A new bill, the 'Kayla Hamilton Act', introduced by Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC) would create stronger restrictions on how HHS assess illegal migrants who are minors by requiring HHS to contact the consulate or embassy of a UAC's home country to determine any criminal history or gang affiliation. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC), Representative for South Carolina's Seventh Congressional District, who tells us more about the 'Kayla Hamilton Act' and how it strengthens our migrant vetting process.

When President Trump won the presidency in 2016, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Democrats accused him of "colluding" with Russia to interfere in the election. A lengthy investigation followed these claims, but it never led to impeachment, as Democrats had hoped. The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, recently released a report declassifying some information and alleging a "treasonous conspiracy" by the outgoing Obama administration, accusing them of "manufacturing" what they call the "Russian hoax." FOX News contributor and George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley joins the Rundown to discuss Director Gabbard's accusations and what the American people may learn from a Department of Justice investigation. An off-duty Customs and Border Patrol officer is in the hospital after being shot in the face Saturday night in New York City. Two illegal aliens have been arrested and are suspected of trying to rob the man at gunpoint. Homeland Security Secretary Noem says both of these men had been arrested and released several times. White House Border Czar Tom Homan said the city council in New York has locked them out of Rikers Island, so they can't take in undocumented immigrants who end up in jail. Former Acting ICE Director and now Homeland Security Senior Advisor Ron Vitiello about the shooting of this border agent and the uncooperation from sanctuary cities.

As Jim noted to begin this broadcast, we live in a time where good is considered evil and evil is considered good. In fact, the prophet Isaiah gave a troubling woe to those who take that position. The Bible also tells us that parents, particularly fathers, are to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In spite of that, the United Nations seeks to usurp that mandate to instead, raise your children in the ways of the world for what they deem, the global good. Joining Jim to discuss this continuing trend was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. Alex described how the U.N. is particularly upset with the U.S. because even though we've signed on to most international treaties, agreements and conventions, they've noted through an investigation that the 10th Amendment to the constitution is problematic for them because a lot of power over education is still controlled by state and local authorities. This means the U.S. federal government can't simply enforce the U.N.'s agenda for more LGBTQ, DEI, etc. on public schools. In the U.N.'s report, released during their 59th session of the Human Rights Council on June 16th-July 11th, they said that the aim of their U.S. investigation was to, "...gather firsthand information on the provision and enjoyment of the right to free quality and inclusive education for all and to engage in a dialogue with and offer recommendations to the government and other stakeholders in this regard."

Marc hosts Missouri Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger to review the recent legislative session, highlighting the ongoing battle against Jefferson City's entrenched swamp and special interests. They discuss the stalled stadium funding deal risking the Chiefs and Royals' future, the need to overhaul Senate rules to break legislative gridlock, and the perils of ballot initiatives driven by left-wing billionaires bypassing lawmakers—especially on issues like abortion, gambling, and minimum wage. Wasinger urges conservatives to financially support the Missouri Right to Life fight ahead of the upcoming Amendment 3 ballot battle, with Laura Trump headlining a major fundraiser. The interview closes with a call to action for grassroots voters to back candidates committed to real reform and conservative priorities.

The Garage Hour does good interviews (whether or not Hostus Maximus Justin Fort is any good at interviews), and we did a semi-sneak beer attack on Chris Hefty at the eponymously named Hefty Fab last month.  Unfortunately, with the hillclimb and about a gajillion client to-dos on the front burner, we're a little late with the upload.  Sort'a sorry!  No matter: it's worth the wait - we puzzle out the doin's of keeping a serious shop going when times get tight (as our hero Hunter S. once opined, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.").  Chris details the art of shifting the lift when retail production took a hit post-Scamdemic, the intense and varied demands of the "Please make my truck work" customer, and what it takes to chase the market when the market takes a left turn at Albuquerque. Because it's the Garage Hour, we've got more: bicyclists who just don't get it, whether cleaning soap is a procedural singularity, Nate's efforts to reinvent the Brady Bunch, how you can ruin a good message with too much creativity, the Hefty Internet Café, and dropping $40Gs for serious parts that don't get serious use.  There's also shock rebuilds, F-150s, Cherokees, an F-350, 80-Serieses in a big pile, Miatas versus S2Ks, and of course, 4Runners.
