Why 4 – 1 sometimes equals 6 sounds impossible—but research in economics, behavioral science, and social capital suggests generosity, trust, and reputation can influence financial outcomes in surprising ways.Most of us assume prosperity follows a simple rule: save more, give less. Arithmetic says keeping money should always leave you with more.But decades of economic research suggest something unexpected: A counterintuitive Life Lesson - households that give more often end up earning more later.Is generosity secretly a financial strategy?Or is something deeper happening in the systems we live in?In this episode of An Ounce, we explore a strange equation—why giving away one dollar can sometimes lead to more than you started with. Not through magic or prosperity myths, but through the hidden mechanics of trust, reputation, networks, and opportunity.Sometimes the equation isn't wrong.Sometimes the equation is just bigger than we thought.If you enjoy exploring counterintuitive ideas, behavioral economics, and the hidden patterns behind everyday assumptions, you'll feel right at home here.This episode explores ideas connected to behavioral economics, social capital, generosity research, trust, reputation, and the ways human systems shape opportunity and prosperity over time.________________________________________

Our WTH saga on Chinese espionage continues with a new installment on the technology inside your car. Chris Miller details “Huawei on wheels”: the security threat posed by Chinese EVs, whose sensors, cameras, microphones, and radars can transmit data directly from your car to servers in China. You might be thinking, “I don't drive a Chinese car, so I'm safe.” Unfortunately, the broader trend is cause for serious alarm. Our European allies have once again failed to regulate Chinese influence and are adopting low-cost autonomous driving technology and communication components from China that report to Chinese satellites. Why doesn't this national security threat receive the congressional attention it deserves? Marc's thesis rings true: the more we comingle our economy with China, the harder it will be to remove threats and roll back poor policy decisions. As Chris Miller puts it, “These are smartphones on wheels, and we've got to treat them with the requisite level of security concern.”Chris Miller is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on Russian foreign policy, Ukraine, and broader Eurasia. He specializes in semiconductors and the geopolitics of technology. His latest book Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology reveals the geopolitical history of the computer chip. It is a New York Times bestseller and a winner of the 2022 Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

As artificial intelligence becomes a key part of national infrastructure, developers across the United States are rushing to build large data centers in many regions. Many of these areas haven't seen this level of industrial growth in decades, and these projects appear to bring the promise of jobs and economic growth to communities that need it. Despite the potential for renewed prosperity, local residents are opposing data centers. Most cite environmental impacts and increasing energy costs as major concerns. Are these worries based in reality? If not, where are they originating from, and how can we address these narratives?To discuss this, I am joined by Lynne Kiesling and Steve DelBianco. Lynne is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where she leads the Electricity Technology, Regulation, and Market Design Working Group. She also directs the Institute for Regulatory Law and Economics at the Northwestern University Center on Law, Business, and Economics, and is a member of the US Department of Energy's Electricity Advisory Committee. Steve is the president and CEO of NetChoice, where he collaborates with its members to protect online free enterprise and free expression. He is a seasoned expert on internet governance.

Newt talks with Dr. Nicholas Eberstadt, the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute. They discuss the phenomenon of workforce dropouts, particularly among prime-age men in the United States, who are neither working nor seeking employment, a trend that has persisted since the mid-1960s. Their conversation also touches on the societal shifts contributing to these trends, including changes in family dynamics and the rise of technology. Dr. Eberstadt emphasizes the importance of work as a means of self-fulfillment and societal contribution. Known for his extensive work on demographic trends and economic issues, Dr. Eberstadt discusses his latest book, "America's Human Arithmetic," which examines the American condition through a series of essays written over the past 30 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Alliance for Civics in the Academy hosted "How Can Universities Strengthen Civic Education in K–12 Schools?" with Jennifer McNabb, Joshua Dunn, and Jenna Storey on March 4, 2026, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. PT. Universities are increasingly reexamining their role as incubators of effective citizenship. An essential yet often overlooked part of this work is strengthening K–12 civic education. This webinar explores how efforts within higher education can support civic learning in K–12 schools, with particular emphasis on the academy's role in training the next generation of educators. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Meira Levinson is a political theorist/philosopher of education who is working to start a global field of educational ethics that is philosophically rigorous, disciplinarily and experientially inclusive, and both relevant to and informed by educational policy and practice. In doing so, she draws upon scholarship from multiple disciplines as well as her eight years of experience teaching middle school humanities, civics, history, and English in the Atlanta and Boston Public Schools.  Meira has written or co-edited nine books, including Civic Contestation in Global Education and Educational Equity in a Global Context (both 2024, with Ellis Reid, Tatiana Geron, and Sara O'Brien), Instructional Moves for Powerful Teaching in Higher Education (2023, co-authored with Jeremy Murphy), Democratic Discord in Schools (2019, with Jacob Fay), winner of the 2020 AERA Moral Development and Education SIG Outstanding Book Award, and Dilemmas of Educational Ethics (2016, with Jacob Fay). Her book No Citizen Left Behind (2012) won awards in political science, philosophy, social studies, and education and has been translated into Chinese and Japanese. Meira shares educational ethics resources on JusticeinSchools.org, materials to support K-12 educators working in politically charged environments at Educational Values in Action, and resources for youth activists and teacher allies at YouthinFront.org. Each of these projects reflects Levinson's commitment to achieving productive cross-fertilization — without loss of rigor — among scholarship, policy, and practice. Meira earned a B.A. in philosophy from Yale and a D.Phil. in politics from Nuffield College, Oxford University. Her work has been supported by fellowships from Guggenheim, the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard, Harvard Radcliffe Institute, and the National Academy of Education. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, Meira taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Jennifer McNabb is Professor and Head of the Department of History at the University of Northern Iowa, where she teaches courses on early modern European history and the history of England. She was Co-Chair of UNI's Civic Education Task Force, which created UNI's Center for Civic Education, and she was Co-PI for a National Endowment for the Humanities Connections Grant that developed UNI's first civic education curriculum: "Civic Literacy, Engagement and the Humanities." McNabb is also a Co-PI of a national grant that will establish the Iowa Civic Educators Institute, providing professional development opportunities for in-service and pre-service social studies and history teachers throughout the state. McNabb has received several awards for her teaching and has completed four courses for The Teaching Company's The Great Courses on the Renaissance, witchcraft, sex, and marriage. She currently serves as a Councilor in the Professional Division of the American Historical Association and as president of the Midwest Conference on British Studies. Joshua Dunn (PhD, University of Virginia) serves as Executive Director of the Institute of American Civics at the Howard H. Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research and teaching focus on constitutional law and history, education policy, federalism, and freedom of speech and religion. His books include Complex Justice: The Case of Missouri v. Jenkins (University of North Carolina Press), From Schoolhouse to Courthouse: The Judiciary's Role in American Education (Brookings Institution Press) and Passing on the Right: Conservative Professors in the Progressive University (Oxford University Press).  Moderator Jenna Silber Storey is the Ravenel Curry Chair in Civic Thought in the Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies Division of the American Enterprise Institute, and Co-Director of AEI's Center for the Future of the American University.  She is also an SNF Agora Fellow at Johns Hopkins University and a Research Fellow at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.  She previously taught political philosophy at Furman University, where she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics and International Affairs, and Executive Director of Furman's Tocqueville Program.  Her writing has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, First Things, and The National Endowment for the Humanities flagship journal, Humanities.  Dr. Storey is the co-author, with her husband Ben, of Why We Are Restless:  On the Modern Quest for Contentment (Princeton University Press, 2021).  They are currently working on a book titled The Art of Choosing: How Liberal Education Should Prepare You for Life.

Dinesh D'Souza- The Historical Case for Regime Change. REGIME CHANGE, TRUMP STYLE Dinesh lays out the historical case for regime change, arguing that America's greatest triumphs—from the Revolution to the Cold War—came when oppressive regimes were decisively removed and replaced with better systems. He applies that framework to Iran, contending that ending the mullahs' rule would deal a historic blow to radical Islam while advancing American interests without repeating the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The president has proposed a historic $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal year 2027. But with the possibility of divided government after the midterms and the risk of another yearlong continuing resolution, that funding boost could stall before it ever reaches the Pentagon. There may be another route for the White House to go though, the budget reconciliation process. To find out how that could work, Federal News Network' Eric White spoke with John Ferrari, non-resident scholar with the American Enterprise Institute.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The government feels louder and faster than ever: executive actions, constant disruption, everything happening at once. But Yuval Levin of the American Enterprise Institute argues that all this motion may be masking something deeper. He explains why durable change comes from laws passed by Congress - not one-off deals- and why the shift from rule-making to deal-making could shape the future in unexpected ways.

He is the author of Tides of Fortune: The Rise and Decline of Great Militaries on his latest Foreign Affairs magazine essay.

What does conservatism mean in an age of populism, executive power, and institutional distrust? Yuval Levin is a political theorist, the director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and the author of American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again. Today he argues that the deepest divide in American politics is no longer left versus right, but populism versus institutions. Levin traces the shift within the conservative movement from an emphasis on morality and constitutional limits to a more confrontational style of politics, and he explains why durable reform requires coalition building, legislation, and respect for procedure. He reflects on his time in the Bush administration, the limits of presidential governance, the fight over universities, the coming politics of AI, and why the Constitution was designed to hold a divided nation together.

He's originally from Europe, specifically Slovakia but he has worked in Washington for well over a decade - and so he has a unique view into a relationship in which the two sides are increasingly failing to understand each other.We recorded this a few days after the Munich Security Conference, where this year the crisis in transatlantic relations became by far the most dominant topic even as we have the war in Ukraine still going on right here in Europe. And so we talk about what did the conference tell us about where we are - what was the point of Marco Rubio's speech and his visit to Hungary right after, why did Europeans give him a standing ovation and whether Europe now believes that everything is fine again - or to what extent does it actually even matter what the US Secretary of State says in an administration where everything is decided by Donald Trump anyway. And we take a step back and talk about the bigger picture as well - whether Donald Trump is more a historical aberration and in 2028 everything will go back to normal or whether he is the start of a bigger systemic change in America - and why this question is fundamentally important to Europe and the rest of the democratic world. About whether the US is now trying to dismantle the European Union and how Europe should react or about the fundamental contradictions at the center of US foreign policy - and much more.

In today's column, Billy talks about the horrific conditions children (many of them US citizens) are enduring while being illegally held in Migrant Detention Centers here in the United States.Today, we are reprising a episode that we feel is really important to be heard. In May of last year, we released a podcast with three thought leaders in philanthropy, Jeff Braddock, who co-founded Bridgespan Clara Miller, who led the Herron Foundation and the Nonprofit finance fund, and Daniel Stitt of the American Enterprise Institute, and what they spoke about, about how philanthropy shows up in the face of so many challenges that we're experiencing right now. Assaults on human service organizations, assaults on social justice programs, feels even more important today as those assaults continue. This week, for example, some of the news that I've been following is among the most disturbing of anything, and we kind of, it feels like we say that week after week as developments unfold. But the story about children being detained in Dilley, Texas reminds me of what James Baldwin said when he wrote, "These are all our children and we shall either profit by or pay for whatever they become."

America has long liked to see itself as the world's dream factory – from the birth of Hollywood to the moon landings, a belief in thinking bigger has been central to the national story. But attitudes towards artificial intelligence reveal a worrying shift. Surveys show that more people are anxious about AI than excited by its spread, with around six in ten saying the technology is moving too fast.James Pethokoukis is the author of The Conservative Futurist and writes the Substack newsletter Faster, Please.

"There's a world behind the world."  Strong societies depend on people willing to think deeply, speak clearly, and defend foundational principles even when it comes at a cost. When ideas are reduced to soundbites and outrage cycles, truth loses depth, history gets flattened, and moral clarity fades. The ability to connect reason with emotion, intellect with courage, becomes essential for preserving liberty and meaningful public discourse.  Dinesh D'Souza reflects on the erosion of serious intellectual debate, the challenges of cultural censorship, and why storytelling—especially through film—remains a powerful tool for shaping ideas. He explains how history, faith, and politics intersect, why surface-level commentary weakens public understanding, and how conviction-driven thinkers can still influence culture despite institutional resistance.  Dinesh is an author, filmmaker, and conviction-based public intellectual who has spent his career defending the principles of liberty and free societies. A former Reagan White House policy analyst, he has worked with leading research institutions including the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution at Stanford. He is the author of more than a dozen books and the creator of multiple high-impact documentary films examining American history, culture, and politics. His work is known for challenging prevailing narratives while advocating for the freedoms that make personal and national flourishing possible, including his latest film, The Dragon's Prophecy.   Expert action steps:  Rebuild deep thinking habits by reading physical books slowly and reflectively.  Communicate ideas by engaging both logic and emotion, not data alone.  Develop spiritual awareness to better understand human conflict and motivation.  Learn more & connect:  Dinesh has a huge online presence.  His latest film, The Dragon's Prophecy: https://thedragonsprophecyfilm.com/  X: https://x.com/DineshDSouza  IG: https://www.instagram.com/dineshjdsouza/  FB: https://www.facebook.com/DSouzaDinesh  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8GAOCAJxBL4bExaUCvwL4Q  https://conservativebrief.com/  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

Welcome to CURE America with Donald T. Eason! Today, we bring you two stellar guests in an enlightening episode focused on empowering communities through agency, family values, and cultural renewal. First, join us for an in-depth interview with Ian Rowe, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, founder of Vertex Partnership Academies—a virtues-based international baccalaureate high school in the Bronx—and author of *Agency: The Four Point Plan to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative*.   Rowe shares his inspiring personal story from his Jamaican immigrant roots to leading innovative education initiatives, emphasizing the "success sequence"—completing high school, gaining full-time employment, and marrying before having children—as a data-backed pathway (with 97% poverty avoidance) to upward mobility, regardless of race or background. He discusses combating victimhood mindsets in schools, facing pushback from critics like Harvard sociologist Christina Cross who prioritize government interventions over personal choices, and his successes in advocating for success sequence education in states like Ohio and Tennessee.   Then, delve into a compelling speech by Delano Esquire, who traces the historical decline of the Black family since the 1960s, highlighting how welfare policies displaced fathers as providers, feminist movements promoted independence at the expense of partnership, and progressive black church leaders shifted from biblical family teachings to political activism, often influenced by figures like James Cone and events like the Moynihan Report. Esquire calls for urgent revival through child-centered rights, church-led marriage workshops, institutional support from HBCUs and media, and resistance to opposing forces like feminists, LGBT activists, and organizations such as Planned Parenthood, stressing that strong marriages are key to community strength and generational legacy. Join us for this eye-opening conversation on reclaiming agency, restoring family stability, and fostering true community renewal.

This week, we present a special recording of PRI's recent America 250 kickoff event in Los Angeles featuring a discussion of conservatism past, present, and future as we mark the semiquincentennial of the United States.  Offering perspective are Claremont Review of Books editor Charles Kesler, Matt Continetti of the American Enterprise Institute, and PRI senior fellow and visiting professor at Pepperdine University's School of Public Policy, Steven Hayward.

Over the past 160 episodes, two themes that have appeared repeatedly feel as relevant and urgent as ever are 1) the pros and dehumanizing cons of technology and 2) approaching suffering in the human experience. In this episode, we are excited to bring back a panel of notable past guests to discuss the interplay between medicine, suffering, technology, and the human experience. We are joined by historian Christine Rosen, PhD, philosopher Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, PhD, and palliative care physician Sunita Puri, MD. Rosen is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute whose work is focused on American history, society and culture, technology and culture, and feminism. Slawkowski-Rode is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Warsaw and research fellow at the University of Oxford with a current emphasis on the philosophy of science and religion. Dr. Puri is a palliative care physician, associate professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, and author of the critically acclaimed book That Good Night (2019). As a panel, we consider a prominent aspect of the unwritten curriculum of medicine: how medicine often considers suffering and sorrow to be fixable and their eradication to be a metric of medical success. We explore ways digital technology can make our lives easier without making them better, and the pressing need to define and defend the (non-digital) human experience. We propose that the goal is not to eradicate all suffering, but to reduce needless suffering without denying the forms that accompany love, growth, and moral responsibility. When suffering is treated as an intolerable defect, we can become preoccupied with self-protection and less available to one another. The first and most important gift a caregiver can give is their undivided attention and the biggest mistake we can make in medicine is turning away from suffering. Finally, we ponder if for both patients and physicians, life, in the end, is meant to be a mystery.In this episode, you'll hear about: 6:37 – Unlearning preconceived perspectives on suffering, technology, and human experience. 13:08 – Engaging with digital technology critically instead of presuming that technological progress is inherently good.19:28 – Suffering as an irradicable and sometimes necessary element of the human condition.27:50 – Helping young terminal patients grapple with their diagnosis as a palliative care doctor. 36:36 – How the pursuit of immortality can lead to moral sickness.47:08 – How digital technologies are inciting a collective disembodiment from reality.53:15 – Practices that will positively impact the modern lived experience.Explore our guests' past episodes on The Doctor's Art: Human Experience in A Digital World | Christine Rosen, PhDA Philosophy of Grief | Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, PhDThe Beauty of Impermanence | Sunita Puri, MDIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show wherever you get your podcasts.

After another horrifying murder and ICE's continued unwelcome presence in Minnesota, Al is joined by friend of the show, political scientist, and emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, Norm Ornstein, to discuss what is happening in their home state.After widespread reports of American citizens being detained, ICE using children as "bait," and the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the Trump administration seems open to drawing back the ICE presence in Minnesota. Al and Norm discuss what a possible deal could look like to get them out of the state. Will Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem face any consequences for their lies and aggression? After spending time meeting with organizers in the Twin Cities, Al shares what he learned from constitutional observers and others making their community safer and caring for each other. We also discuss the danger of the federal government getting its hands on state voter rolls. Was Trump's invasion ever about enforcing immigration laws? Or was it more about retribution? LISTEN to Norm's podcast "Words Matter" with fellow friend of the show David Rothkopf: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dsrs-words-matter/id1420216970SUPPORT THE SHOW BY VISITING OUR SPONSORS:Visit American Giant to get their Classic Full Zip Hoodie and other cold weather staples.

On our radar this week… The first-ever recipient of a previously owned Nobel Peace Prize apparently wants to be the Genghis Khan of the 21st Century. In the last week, Trump has  Threatened to invade Venezuela if his hand-picked government doesn't do his bidding;  Stationed an armada near Iran in preparations for an aerial war;  Hinted at an imminent effort at regime change in Cuba;  Doubled-downed on his armed assault on the Constitution in Minneapolis with a change in messaging but little else, He replaced one Nazi-adjacent ICE commander with a fascist-adjacent ICE commander in Minneapolis with vague promises of a future future drawdown on masked thugs roaming the streets, but not now. Sent his FBI and Tulsi Gabbard to investigate the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, a continuation of his b.s. claims of fraud costing him a win over Joe Biden, and  Had his FBI raid the home of a reporter in violation of federal law; and, Arrested reporter Don Lemon for covering a peaceful Minneapolis protest because it “disrupted” a religious service Trump’s war on Minneapolis inspired a powerful anthem from “The Boss.” Bruce Springsteen's “The Streets of Minneapolis” pulls no punches in denouncing Trump, ICE Barbie and Stephen Miller. Due to copyright restrictions we can't play it here … but it's well worth a visit to YouTube. Trump World is also having a direct impact on Michigan politics. Trump has reportedly inserted himself in the battle for the party's gubernatorial nomination, torpedoing frontrunner John James and encouraging 78-year-old rich guy Perry Johnson's newly announced campaign.  Michigan Democrats have launched their first attack ad on independent gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan even as the party's contests for Attorney General and Secretary of State are all but over.  A Republican dark money group is promoting one of the Democrats in next week's primary to fill a state Senate primary … with the belief that State Board of Education President Pamela Pugh would be easier to beat in the April general election. Democrats, including Saginaw Dem chair Jennifer Austin and Saginaw state Representative Amos O'Neal, are crying “foul.” Senator Elissa Slotkin says Kristi Noem has to go. In a Senate speech, Michigan's junior senator noted she had voted to confirm Noem … but the cabinet member derided as “ICE Barbie” has betrayed fundamental American values. We’re joined this week by political science guru Norm Ornstein, emeritus scholar at the conservative think-tank American Enterprise Institute with his assessment of congressional dysfunction and Trump's drive for one-person government. He is the co-author, with Thomas E. Mann, of It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism. Norm is a Minnesota native. He was a child prodigy, graduating from high school when he was fourteen and from college when he was eighteen. He received his BA from the University of Minnesota and PhD in political science from the University of Michigan.  By the mid-1970s, he had become a professor of political science at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., establishing a reputation as an expert on the United States Congress. Ornstein is a frequent contributor to The Washington Post, The Atlantic and the National Journal. He wrote a weekly column for Roll Call for 11 years, and was co-director of the AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project. He helped draft key parts of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as the McCain–Feingold Act. Ornstein is a registered Democrat but considers himself a centrist and has voted for individuals from both parties. We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe.

TikTok has agreed to settle a landmark social media addiction lawsuit just before the trial was set to kick off. The social video platform was one of three companies — along with Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube — facing claims that their platforms deliberately addict and harm children. A fourth company named in the lawsuit, Snapchat parent company Snap Inc., settled the case last week for an undisclosed sum. Details of the settlement with TikTok were not disclosed, and the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. At the core of the case is a 19-year-old identified only by the initials “KGM,” whose case could determine how thousands of other, similar lawsuits against social media companies will play out. She and two other plaintiffs have been selected for bellwether trials — essentially test cases for both sides to see how their arguments play out before a jury and what damages, if any, may be awarded, said Clay Calvert, a nonresident senior fellow of technology policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Today on AirTalk, Larry speaks to CNN tech writer Clare Duffy to offer a primer on the case and understand its long-term implications. With files from the Associated Press

The panel will discuss the questions left open—or raised—by the Supreme Court’s decisions in FCC v. Consumers' Research and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, about the proper approach to statutory construction and the role that the nondelegation doctrine should play as a background principle in statutory analysis in cases where an agency has claimed broad authority to weigh competing public values when promulgating legislative rules. The discussion might address such subtopics as:Whether the Supreme Court’s rejection of an “extravagant” interpretation of FCC’s statutory authority in Consumers’ Research tells us anything about how courts should approach statutory cases where an agency is asserting an expansive view of its statutory authorities—given that the Court appeared to say that the dissent’s (supposedly “extravagant”) interpretation would present a nondelegation problem.What role nondelegation concerns should play under the avoidance canon in cases where an agency seeks to stretch nebulous or expressly open-ended delegations to achieve whatever policy objective the Executive Branch deems fit from one administration to the next.Whether these kinds of concerns can be dealt with by expanding clear statement rules—like that the Court has begun to develop with the major questions doctrine.Whether and to what extent legitimate nondelegation concerns arise in cases where Congress has expressly said that an issue is vested to agency discretion—as was contemplated in Loper Bright for certain kinds of rules for which the Court said the agency gets to decide.Featuring:Prof. Jonathan Adler, Tazewell Taylor Professor of Law and William H.

The world is watching as protests rage across Iran amid nationwide internet blackouts, state-sponsored propaganda, and lethal security force crackdowns. Despite reports suggesting that hundreds, possibly thousands, have been killed at the time of this writing, Iranians are taking their future in their hands with extraordinary courage. For Tehran, what makes this wave of unrest different from those before it? Should civil war breakout, will we finally see a free Iran? Will President Trump enforce the red line he has drawn for the regime, and if so, what military options exist without deploying boots on the ground? Will President Trump ignore the eleventh-hour, desperate promises of diplomacy from Islamist leaders? He'll need to if he intends to continue his administration's legacy of freedom.Michael Rubin is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he specializes in Iran, Turkey, and the broader Middle East. He also currently serves as director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum. A former Pentagon official, Dr. Rubin has lived in post-revolution Iran, Yemen, and both pre- and postwar Iraq.

Marc Thiessen, columnist at The Washington Post, a Fox News contributor and a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the developing situation in Iran as thousands of protestors have taken to the streets in protest of the Iranian mullah regime.  Thiessen discussed why Trump is right to enforce his "red line" and why he should "decapitate" the regime to support Democracy in the region. Thiessen also discussed the United States' partnership with Israel and why the two Democracies can combat the Iranian regime together, and he also discussed the left's "sickness" in equivocating the Trump administration and the Iranian regime.

For many Americans, Operation Absolute Resolve, which brought Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro to trial in New York, was an unexpected New Year's surprise. For others who have endured the corruption of his regime and watched as American adversaries have turned Venezuela and Cuba into platforms for illicit investment, arms trafficking, and narcotics, it is a long-awaited moment of vindication. It appears Chávez's henchmen are finally facing the music. But why now? Our guest, Roger Noriega, cites institutional issues within the U.S. government and severe counterintelligence failures of the past, obstacles he argues have been overcome under Marco Rubio's leadership and with President Trump's resolve. So, what's next? Will the opposition win a democratic election? And what is the Cuban play here? Could their regime be at risk?Roger Noriega is the founder and managing director of the consultant firm, Vision Americas LLC, which has teams in Washington and Bogotá. Ambassador (ret.) Roger F. Noriega has more than three decades of public policy experience focusing on U.S. interests in the Western Hemisphere.

Loren Voss, Public Service Fellow at Lawfare, sits down with Kori Schake, senior fellow and the director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and Carrie Lee, senior fellow with the German Marshall Fund's Strategic Democracy Initiatives. They discuss how they assess a healthy civil-military relationship, the current state of civil-military affairs, potential unlawful orders, and what we should watch going forward.Lee and Schake outline the frameworks they use to assess civil-military relations in the United States and how to think about unlawful orders and an “unprincipled principal.” Both Schake and Lee agree that the military should not bear the burden of being the solution; fixes must come from civilian leadership in the executive and legislative branches. The group concludes by identifying five indicators everyone should watch going forward to indicate the system isn't functioning as it should.
