As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.” And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

Mea Culpa welcomes back legendary politician turned political analyst, Michael Steele. Steele made history when he became the first African-American candidate to be elected to statewide office in Maryland, where he served as lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2007, and when he was chosen to be the first African-American chairperson of the Republican National Committee from 2009 to 2011. Steele's abilities as a communicator and commentator have been showcased daily on MSNBC, where he has become a fierce opponent of Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda. He's also appeared on Meet the Press, Face the Nation, HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, and The Daily Show to name a few. In addition to his work in television, Steele can be heard each week on his radio show on SiriusXM or on the Michael Steele Podcast which has become a must listen for those on both sides of the aisle. He joins me today to discuss the legal thicket we must politically navigate as Trump's four criminal trials loom as well as some color commentary on last week's GOP Debate.

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."
Having departed from the founders' understanding of libel, the American Court of today declines to protect the reputation of public figures—a gap that has been abused by the press to run unfounded narratives.

Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt narrowly lost to Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman in the L.A. mayoral race following a sudden wave of mail-in ballots, highlighting California's lax voting standards.Recommended:No Liberty to Libel: The Constitutional Case Against New York Times v.

Donald Trump has refiled his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein that was said to have appeared in a 2003 birthday album compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump denies writing the letter and his amended complaint continues to argue that no authentic letter or drawing exists, even though the House Oversight Committee later released the letter after obtaining it from Epstein's estate. The renewed lawsuit comes after a federal judge dismissed Trump's first version in April, finding that his legal team had not adequately pleaded “actual malice,” the demanding defamation standard public officials must meet when suing news organizations.The amended filing brings Ghislaine Maxwell into the case by pointing to her July 2025 interview with then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which she said she did not remember Trump submitting a letter, card, or note for Epstein's birthday album. Trump's lawyers are trying to use that statement to bolster the claim that the Journal published something false or recklessly unsupported, but the timing creates an obvious complication because Maxwell's interview occurred after the Journal's original reporting. The case now turns on whether Trump can prove that The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and the named reporters knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth, rather than simply reporting aggressively on a disputed Epstein-related document.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump Cites Maxwell In $10 Billion 'Wall Street Journal' Lawsuit
"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."
"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."

Capitol police officer Shauni Kerkhoff has sued Glenn Beck's outfit The Blaze for defamation after they said she “kinda walked like a criminal” – and she's brought out the big guns. The Trump administration funneled another $1.25 million in taxpayer dollars to campaign stooge Carter Page.

FBI director Kash Patel has sued The Atlantic for $250 million. It comes after the magazine published an article alleging that Patel is frequently drunk on the job and that his security team has had difficulty waking him on multiple occasions. Still, The Atlantic isn't backing down, writing in a statement, “We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit.” But we've seen this move before, and it appears Kash is simply taking a page out of President Donald Trump's book. Trump himself has sued the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times for stories and polls he didn't like. To talk more about the litigious Trump administration, we spoke with Oliver Darcy. He's the founder of Status, a nightly newsletter focused on the media.And in headlines, Dr. Mehmet Oz says Trump's testosterone is top tier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recites Iran war talking points, and Republicans are losing at their own redistricting game.Show Notes: Check out Status – https://www.status.news/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivers a powerful mix of global headlines, celebrity claps back, and major milestone moments, starting with breaking international news as Donald Trump announces that the U.S. ceasefire with Iran will be extended indefinitely while negotiations continue. According to multiple reports, the ceasefire remains in place as Iran works to present a unified proposal, even as U.S. military pressure and blockades continue in the region, keeping tensions high and talks uncertain. The show also dives into a heated social media moment as boxing champion Claressa Shields fires back at critics attacking her appearance, firmly reminding the internet that her Olympic gold medals, undisputed titles, and confidence speak louder than online trolls. The conversation continues with legal drama surrounding NFL star Stefon Diggs, as his defamation case takes a new turn with the accuser requesting access to Diggs’ financial records, arguing that claims of reputational and financial harm must be backed up in court.

Joe opens the show with a blistering takedown of Senator Tim Kaine's jaw-dropping claim that Virginia needs a 90% Democrat congressional delegation to “stand up to Donald Trump's tyranny” even though Kamala Harris only won the state by 5 points. He sets the tone for the entire episode. We now live in a warped reality where lies are treated as truth, dogwhistles and defamation rule the day, and stolen elections have produced selected leaders who openly put Americans last. From Pennsylvania election officials caught on video shredding 2020 evidence and plotting cover-ups, to a Wiconisco Township election chief who openly complains about the cost of gender surgery, Joe exposes the grotesque double standard and the systemic fraud that continues to rot our republic.Green Beret veteran, father, and author EM Burlingame joins the show to discuss his hard-hitting new piece, “Our Kids Are Failing In the Millions: While We're Out There Bleeding the Horizon.” He delivers a sobering message that America's real war is not overseas but right here at home an internal, cultural, and spiritual battle for the souls of the next generation. While patriots focused on external threats, elites, schools, media, and institutions have been hollowing out our children through ideology, screens, gender confusion, despair, and drugs. EM makes it crystal clear: if we lose our kids, every other victory becomes meaningless.Joe confronts the ADL's latest actions, including the letter sent to the Colorado GOP targeting him, CEO Jonathan Greenblatt's push to ban Nick Fuentes supporters across social media, and the resurfaced 1972–73 Nixon–Billy Graham conversation discussing the “Synagogue of Satan.” From Kaine's shameless gaslighting to election officials destroying evidence and the ADL acting as self-appointed arbiters of truth, this episode pulls no punches: the system is built on stolen elections, lies, and coordinated attacks on American values.

The MAGA movement is having a full-blown identity crisis—and it's coming from the top. In today's morning episode of the Rush Hour Podcast, we break down Donald Trump's stunning 180-degree pivot from the very base that built him. From policy reversals to shifting rhetoric, the question is simple: is this strategy, desperation, or something else entirely? We dive into the growing backlash as prominent voices on the right start speaking out. Candace Owens doesn't hold back, calling Trump's moves a betrayal of core MAGA values, while Joe Kent raises serious concerns about trust and consistency. And in a cultural twist, even Coachella becomes part of the conversation, with artists and influencers using the spotlight to mock and challenge Trump's shifting stance. Is this the beginning of a fracture within MAGA, or just another chapter in Trump's unpredictable playbook? We break it all down.
