“Leave aside the cruelty of not giving these funds out,” Andrew says, reflecting on the SNAP benefits case now before the Supreme Court. “What does it say that we're not prioritizing hunger as an issue?” Then, Mary brings listeners up to speed on the dizzying chain of events since Friday and where the SNAP case stands, even as the Senate and House appear to be moving towards reopening the government. And in honoring Veterans Day, Mary and Andrew dig into several issues affecting service members, including the latest filing in Trump v Illinois, and how to think about the term "regular forces", plus Judge Immergut's final order prohibiting the National Guard deployment in Portland. And finally, Just Security's co-editor in chief, Tess Bridgeman, joins to analyze what the law says— and doesn't say-- about blowing up boats in international waters without a clear justification or congressional authorization.Further reading: Judge Wolf's piece in The Atlantic: Why I Am Resigning.

The Supreme Court's landmark decision granting presidential immunity for official acts has reverberated in unprecedented ways since its issuance. One consequence, as Mary and Andrew note in their recent New York Times essay, is that rather than “preventing the weaponization of prosecutions, the court has unleashed it.” The co-hosts begin here, offering insights into the ongoing prosecutions of James Comey, Letitia James and the suspension of two assistant U.S. attorneys in DC. Next, they move to some updates on the National Guard domestic deployments, as several cases wind their way through the courts. And rounding out this episode, Mary and Andrew turn to the litigation around SNAP benefits and preview Wednesday's tariff argument before the Supreme Court.Further Reading:Here is Mary and Andrews' New York Times Essay: How the Supreme Court Paved the Way for Revenge ProsecutionsAnd as Mary and Andrew discussed, note the difference between the government's first Sentencing Memorandum in the Taylor Franklin Taranto case compared with the second Sentencing Memo.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Michael Jaco and Juan O'Savin return with a bold and revealing conversation exposing the unseen powers shaping global events and the spiritual battle unfolding beneath the surface. Together, they connect the dots between secret cults, elite networks, and the escalating war for election integrity in the United States and beyond. They begin by unpacking the political unrest in Brazil and how it mirrors Donald Trump's fight in America — revealing how the same globalist playbook is being deployed to destabilize sovereign nations and silence populist movements. The discussion intensifies with a detailed look into the Utah and Oregon election integrity lawsuits, uncovering how manipulated voter rolls and systemic corruption could trigger a national emergency declaration to restore lawful elections. From there, the conversation explores the occult symbolism behind Halloween, tracing its ancient origins and its modern use as a psychological tool of mass distraction and control. They connect these dark undercurrents to elite organizations and secret societies that feed off fear and division to maintain dominance. Juan and Michael also examine the global picture — from Venezuela's financial collapse and South Africa's rising chaos to coordinated efforts by Deep State actors and financial cartels to create global instability. Each example reveals how political corruption and spiritual decay are intertwined, driving the world toward both collapse and awakening. They close with a powerful reminder that the real war is not just political but spiritual — a battle for truth, sovereignty, and the awakening of humanity.

Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances. He argues this improperly expands presidential power, usurping Congress's Article I authority over the militia. Epstein views this as an authoritarian extension of unitary executive theory that violates constitutional federalism. He also notes that pursuing alleged narco-terrorists in Venezuela without a Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force is legally tenuous, as drug running constitutes a crime rather than an act of war, making military action constitutionally questionable.

While President Trump’s Executive Orders directed at individual law firms drew immediate attention, the administration’s broader enforcement of nondiscrimination employment law in the legal industry has gone comparatively unanalyzed. In March, Acting EEOC Chairman Andrea Lucas wrote letters to 20 large law firms requesting information on their employment practices (at least four of those firms subsequently settled with the Commission). In May, Americans for Equal Opportunity filed an EEOC charge challenging the legality of allegedly discriminatory programs administered by Sponsors for Educational Opportunity and its 44 law-firm partners. These processes are necessarily opaque, leaving the status of EEOC investigations (other than those publicly settled) unclear. As the EEOC appears to continue investigating these varying sets of programs and allegations, we pause to consider the merits of these matters.Featuring:Jonathan A.

Nearly two months after calling on the Office of Management and Budget to bar use of xAI's Grok chatbot in government, a coalition of advocacy groups is pressing its case further after the General Services Administration struck a deal with Elon Musk's AI company to deploy Grok across the federal government. In a letter sent Wednesday to OMB Director Russell Vought, the advocacy groups reiterated their concerns in the wake of the GSA OneGov deal, along with recent comments from Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “OMB is entrusted with ensuring that AI systems procured by the federal government meet the highest standards of truth-seeking, accuracy and neutrality,” the letter, led by Public Citizen, stated. “Grok has repeatedly demonstrated failures in these areas and Director Kratsios himself has confirmed that such behavior is the precise type that Executive Order 14319 was designed to prevent.” The letter refers to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in July that seeks to prevent “woke AI,” or ideological biases in models that are used by the federal government. The groups argued in their August letter to Vought that the use of Grok contradicts this order, given its past controversies with spewing antisemitic and pro-Hitler content. Weeks after the letter was sent, GSA inked a deal with xAI to offer Grok models to the government for a nominal cost. Under the deal, federal agencies can buy Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast for 42 cents until March 2027. The White House appears to be moving forward with plans to redesign federal government websites, registering a new government domain — techforce.gov — this week. The new URL, which was first discovered Thursday by a bot tracking new government domains, leads to a sign-in page that states “National Design Studio” and “Tech Force” at the top. It includes a form for users to submit their email and receive a code to access the website. Records maintained by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency show the domain was registered Oct. 24 and last changed Wednesday. The domain registration comes more than two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order launching an “America by Design” initiative focused on both digital and physical spaces. A new National Design Studio and chief design officer will lead the initiative and coordinate agency actions. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

As President Trump signed Executive Order 13769 titled “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States”, Section 7 of that order directed the Department of Homeland Security to “expedite the completion and implementation of a biometric entry-exit tracking system for all travelers to the United States.” In his ‘One, Big Beautiful Bill' that will become a reality in September of 2026.“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16,17 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, effective December 26, 2025, the new rule authorizes CBP to photograph “all aliens” (non-citizens) at all ports of entry and departure (air, sea, land) and “any other point of departure.” The legal underpinning remains 8 U.S.C. § 1365b, which obligates the Secretary of DHS to “develop a plan to accelerate the full implementation of an automated biometric entry and exit data system.” While currently aimed at non-citizens, the infrastructure built could easily later expand to include U.S. citizens. Companies like Palantir, Oracle, Microsoft and Open Ai who make up Stargate will be tasked with making all of this happen starting in 2026. Trump brought us the Pandemic, the Lockdown, the COVID Vaccine and now the biometric tracking system. Today we bring you what you need to know about how President Trump and his administration are being used to advance the end times timeline.
The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a Rapid Readout about the status of reform efforts for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Trump Administration and Congress are considering changes to pre-disaster preparedness, disaster response, and post-disaster recovery. This readout provided background on why FEMA reforms are on the table, unpack how communities could be affected, and outline the most prominent proposal, the bipartisan Fixing Emergency Management for Americans Act of 2025 (H.R.4669). It also described what has happened to date with the FEMA Review Council, established by Executive Order 14180 in January 2025.

Today's podcast features the first part of a recent webinar produced on September 24, 2025, titled: "A New Era for Banking: What President Trump's Debanking Executive Order and Related State Laws Mean for Financial Institutions, Government, and Banking Customers." In Part 1, we discuss the following topics: 1. History of Debanking, including: o Operation Chokepoint: An initiative by federal prudential banking regulators during the Obama administration aimed at discouraging banks supervised by them from providing services to companies engaged in payday lending. o OCC Final Regulation on Debanking: Issued by Acting Comptroller Brian Brooks toward the end of President Trump's first term, this regulation applied only to the largest banks in the country. It was sent to the Federal Register but never published and, therefore, never became effective. 2. Elements and Scope of the Debanking Executive Order 3. Statutory Authority (or Lack Thereof) of the Executive Order, which was largely based on the unfairness prongs of UDAAP and UDAP, even though a federal district court in Alabama held a few years ago that such unfairness prongs do not cover discrimination. Our presenters, who hold diverse views on the wisdom of the Executive Order, are: · Jason Mikula Founder and Publisher, Fintech Business Weekly Jason Mikula is an independent fintech and banking advisor, consultant, and investor. He also publishes Fintech Business Weekly, a newsletter analyzing trends in banking and fintech.

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we take a deep dive into how executive power really works in the U.S. government — from executive orders and OMB oversight to how federal procurement priorities shift when a new president takes office. My guest, Dr. Andy Rudalevige, one of the nation's leading scholars on the presidency, breaks down how executive orders shape policy, how OMB quietly influences every dollar that gets spent, and why civil service stability matters more than ever. We explore the tension between presidential control and congressional authority, the ripple effects of personnel cuts across agencies, and what America can learn from European models of governance. Andy also reminds us why optimism for democracy still matters — because despite division at the top, most Americans still agree more than they realize. Key Takeaways: Executive orders aren't laws — they guide the executive branch but can't override Congress, though they profoundly shape how contracts and spending unfold. OMB (Office of Management and Budget) wields enormous influence, managing budgets, regulations, and procurement policy — the real "engine room" of federal power. Civil service expertise is eroding, risking continuity and competence, but public trust in democratic ideals remains a source of resilience for America's future. Learn more: https://govcongiants.org/
Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom— Number One— House oversight Chair James Comer is demanding that AG Pam Bondi nullify all the pardons and Executive Orders—not signed by Joe Biden—BUT instead signed by the autopen—there is a big fight brewing— Number Two— Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins says George Soros with all his money should step up and fund SNAP benefits for those that will soon have nothing to buy food with—I am guessing he will not respond— Number Three— Well if Democrats think they are winning the argument over the Schumer Shutdown—they may want to pay attention to what they are saying over at CNN—because the picture for them is not good—

In this special episode of Corsi Nation, Dr. Jerome Corsi delivers a major update on his ongoing investigation into U.S. election integrity — including new evidence, state-level database anomalies, and efforts underway to secure fair elections ahead of 2026. Election INtegrituy_otter_aiDr. Corsi reveals how algorithms hidden inside state voter-registration systems may have allowed the creation of duplicate and modified voter records — enabling fraudulent mail-in ballots to be generated in large numbers. Using analysis from researchers working with GodsFiveStones.com, he highlights findings from states like Wisconsin, where up to millions of suspicious duplicate entries were identified.President Donald Trump is now calling for the DOJ to investigate what he calls “the biggest scandal in American history,” and is preparing sweeping reforms that could include:✅ Voter ID✅ Proof of citizenship✅ Paper ballots❌ No mass mail-in voting❌ No early votingThese actions may arrive via an upcoming Executive Order, now being prepared by the Trump White House. Dr. Corsi also explains how:• State-level activists and whistleblowers are sharing evidence with federal investigators• Federal agencies have been reviewing voter-roll irregularities behind the scenes• Dominion systems have been rebranded after major scrutiny• States may face federal intervention or National Guard oversight to ensure lawful elections• 2026 could be a major turning point if fraudulent systems are dismantledWith investigations expanding into ActBlue, possible foreign penetration of voter databases, and the role of intelligence-level code hidden in state systems, the stakes have never been higher.To help us continue this groundbreaking research, visit:
The bulldozing of the East Wing of the White House late last week was shocking to much of the nation, Mary and Andrew included. They begin there with concerns, not only about preserving its rich history, but the ethical and legal questions that arise from the president using private donations to fund this ballroom build, and how the Anti-Deficiency Act might apply.

In this episode of Specifically for Seniors, host Laurence I. Barsh sits down with Dr. Lee Tannenbaum, a physician and healthcare leader whose career has been devoted to improving addiction treatment across the lifespan. Together, they confront a growing but often invisible crisis: substance misuse among older adults. While addiction in the United States is frequently portrayed as a youth-driven epidemic, this conversation reveals a more complex and urgent reality—one in which seniors are increasingly vulnerable to alcohol misuse, cannabis overuse, and the abuse of prescribed medications.As Americans live longer and face deepening isolation, many older adults find themselves navigating chronic pain, grief, and the challenges of polypharmacy. These factors not only increase the risk of addiction but also complicate diagnosis and treatment. Yet the healthcare system, still largely calibrated to younger populations, often fails to recognize or respond to these issues with the nuance they demand.Dr. Tannenbaum, Senior Medical Director at ARS Treatment Centers, shares insights from decades of experience designing methadone and buprenorphine-based treatment programs, shaping policy, and managing clinical operations through crises like COVID. He and Laurence explore how addiction trends have shifted over the past decade, which substances are driving the most harm, and how mental health challenges intersect with substance use—particularly in aging populations.They discuss how addiction manifests differently across age groups, regions, and racial demographics, and why older adults are frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked. Dr. Tannenbaum outlines the substances most commonly misused by seniors—alcohol, prescription medications, and increasingly, cannabis—and explains how confusion, falls, and even death can result from unrecognized dependence. He also highlights the role of grief, chronic illness, and social disconnection in triggering substance misuse later in life.The conversation turns to the clinical blind spots that caregivers and providers often miss, the cultural and systemic barriers that prevent older adults from accessing care, and the need for treatment centers to adapt their models to better serve aging populations. Dr. Tannenbaum offers a detailed look at treatment protocols for seniors, including approaches to managing alcoholism and benzodiazepine dependence in private practice.They also examine the political landscape, including the impact of recent federal initiatives like the Executive Order titled “Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,” and how such policies affect harm-reduction strategies and medication-focused treatment approaches. Dr. Tannenbaum shares his concerns about governmental overreach and the erosion of programs like needle exchanges that have proven effective in reducing harm.Listeners are invited to explore more of Dr. Tannenbaum's work at addictioncoa.com, and to tune into his podcast, co-hosted with his daughter ,You Don't Have Struggle (https://open.spotify.com/show/51NIjdp4uhQ1wQ9e1dyYCb) where they delve deeper into addiction medicine, treatment innovation, and the evolving challenges of care.This episode is a call to action: to recognize that addiction doesn't retire at 65—it evolves. And if our systems are to meet the moment, they must evolve too.Dr. Tannenbaum's BookThe Addiction Conspiracy: Unlocking Brain Chemistry and Addiction So You Don't Have To Struggle (https://a.co/d/hDQzAfW)

Mary and Andrew begin this week with the latest in the Trump administration's attempt to send National Guard troops into American cities. From the 9th Circuit comes a 2-1 decision lifting a lower court's temporary block on deployments into Portland, Oregon. Plus: the government has asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the use of National Guard troops in Chicago. Mary and Andrew analyze the legal repercussions of both, then move to reporting on a Trump administration promise to betray U.S. informants in order to secure a prison deal with El Salvador. And while a week feels like a year these days, the co-hosts review both John Bolton's indictment last Thursday and James Comey's recent motion to dismiss his case based on vindictive and selective prosecution. Before wrapping up this week, Mary and Andrew take a beat on last week's oral arguments before the Supreme Court in Louisiana v Calláis that dealt directly with the Voting Rights Act and whether redrawing districts can be used to remedy disenfranchising voters in Louisiana.Further Listening/Reading: Here is Andrew's conversation with former Special Counsel Jack Smith at an event at UCL in London: The State of the United States: A Conversation with Jack SmithHere is the reporting from The Washington Post Mary and Andrew spoke about: Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump's El Salvador prison deal.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Shane talks with Rev. Jen Butler and Pastor Doug Pagitt about the new Executive Order of Donald Trump loosening restrictions on faith-based nonprofits when it comes to political endorsements and funding.

As of October 15th, he's signed 208 executive orders compared to 220 signed during the entirety of his first administration and 162 signed by President Biden during his administration. Additionally, President Trump has signed 95 presidential proclamations, 56 presidential memoranda and 9 laws.
Last Thursday, New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted by a grand jury on two counts. This, on the heels of former FBI Director James Comey's arraignment, where pre-trial motions were granted around vindictive and selective prosecution. Mary and Andrew use these two examples to explain why targeting individuals instead of crimes violates some of the Justice Department's most sacred norms. Next, they walk through the latest court battles around federalized National Guard troops in Oregon and Illinois, with a 7th Circuit ruling in Chicago and oral arguments in the 9th circuit over the Portland deployment. Last comes a notable article from Professor Caleb Nelson, one of the nation's foremost originalist legal scholars, who questions granting increasing executive authority to the presidency.

Childhood chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, asthma, anxiety, and depression are rising sharply, with nearly one in five U.S. children obese and one in seven teens experiencing mental disorders On February 13, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14212 establishing the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, chaired by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to address children's health The Commission identified four main drivers of childhood chronic disease — poor diet, toxic chemical exposures, lack of physical activity combined with chronic stress, and overmedicalization through unnecessary prescriptions The Commission's strategy rests on four pillars — advancing research, realigning incentives and systems, increasing public awareness, and fostering private sector collaboration, creating a comprehensive plan to reverse the health crisis Key reforms include stricter food safety rules, updated infant nutrition standards, greater transparency in healthcare, expanded mental health support, and partnerships that put real food and prevention at the center of children's lives

The movement of private wealth allocations to alternatives is one of the biggest questions impacting the future of private markets. Our Private Wealth miniseries shared perspectives from allocators and managers on the space. Since then, an Executive Order opened the door for 401(k) plans to adopt alternatives. I wrote, in a recent Musings for our Premium members, that private market allocations in retirement plans may be a big deal down the road, but there's no need to worry about a flood of capital hitting the private markets any time soon. To understand why, I asked Eric Mogelof to come back on the podcast and explain how capital flows in the retirement markets. Eric is the head of Global Client Solutions at KKR and joined me on the Private Wealth miniseries. In this hot take, Eric breaks down the retirement market across defined benefit, defined contribution, and IRA plans, the importance of target date funds to 401(k)s, and the decision making process required for these various structures to adopt alternatives.

Chicago Mayor Declares Civil War Signs Executive Order banning DHS in City!
Military action is a stark theme this week, as Oregon and Illinois sue the Trump administration over its attempts to federalize National Guard troops for deployment into both states. Mary and Andrew break down not one, but two temporary restraining orders that block deployments to Oregon, as Trump appointed Judge Karin Immergut cites Trump's own words to show the facts don't support what he alleges about “war ravaged” cities. Then, they dig into the administration's fourth deadly boat strike on alleged drug traffickers near Venezuela, highlighting how the lack of apparent legal authority might play out, as Attorney General Pam Bondi answered questions from the Senate Judiciary committee Tuesday. Last up, Andrew and Mary turn to two consequential decisions that don't bode well for the Trump administration: one decision out of Boston, barring efforts to deport non-citizen activists; and a second finding of a “likelihood of vindictive prosecution” from a Nashville judge as it relates to the seeming retaliatory charges against Kilmar Abrego-Garcia.Further reading: MSNBC's Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian report: Top prosecutor is rejecting Trump pressure to charge New York AGMary And Tess Bridgeman's piece for Just Security: What the Senate Judiciary Committee Should Ask A.G.

There are many competing ideas for how to solve the homelessness crisis in America, and they're often a product of competing worldviews. Today, I'm joined by Bryan Crain (yes, he's my husband!), president of Orange County Rescue Mission, to talk about the homelessness crisis from a biblical worldview and the Trump administration's recent Executive Order on "Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets." If you've ever wondered what can and should be done to help the homeless AND make the streets safer for everyone else, you don't want to miss this episode.MENTIONED ON THE SHOW:My first episode with Bryan: www.natashacrain.com/the-homelessness-crisis-from-a-biblical-perspective-with-bryan-crain/Conversations on a Bench (OCRM): www.rescuemission.org/conversationsConversations on a Bench (all locations): conversationsonabench.org/Orange County Rescue Mission: www.rescuemission.orgCity Gate Network: www.citygatenetwork.orgMy book, Faithfully Different: www.amazon.com/dp/0736984291Michael Shellenberger's book, San Fransicko: www.amazon.com/San-Fransicko-Progressives-Ruin-Cities/dp/0063093626
In Mary and Andrew's estimation, there is no effort from the Trump administration to say things softly, the quiet part is very much out loud. They begin with the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey by Trump's newly installed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, noting how much these targeted charges upend the tradition of a separation between the White House and the Justice Department. The next stop is Portland Oregon, where the president announced his intent to deploy troops to the city in a Saturday Truth Social post, calling it “war ravaged”. Oregon immediately sued to stop the national guard deployment, so Mary and Andrew catch listeners up on where this stands and what to expect. And last, they turn to Trump's domestic terror memorandum, announcing his intent to investigate left-leaning groups he suggests may be funding political violence.

US Treasury Hoard Tops $1 Trillion For First Time On the back of a 45% surge in the price of gold this year, the US Treasury's hoard of the barbarous relic has surpassed $1 trillion in value for the first time in history. That is more than 90 times what's stated on the government's balance sheet and is reigniting speculation that Treasury Secretary Bessent could revalue (mark to market) the massive pile of precious metal Unlike most countries, the US's gold is held by the government directly, rather than the central bank. The Fed instead holds gold certificates corresponding to the value of the Treasury's holdings, and credits the government with dollars in return. That means, as we detailed previously, that an update of the reserves' value in line with today's prices would unleash roughly $990 billion into the Treasury's coffers, dramatically reducing the need to issue quite so many Treasury bonds this year. Germany, Italy and South Africa all have taken the decision to revalue their reserves in recent decades, as an August note from an economist at the Federal Reserve discussed. US gold re-marking would have implications for both the Treasury & Fed balance sheets. US Treasury: assets would rise by the value of the gold re-marking & liabilities would rise by the size of gold certificates issued to the Fed. Federal Reserve: assets would rise by value of gold certificates & liabilities would rise by a crediting of cash in the Treasury cash balance (Exhibit 4). And here is the punchline: the Fed balance sheet impact would look like QE though no open market purchases would be required & Fed liability growth would initially be in TGA. In other words, the best of all words: a QE-like operation, one which see the Fed quietly funnel almost $700 billion in cash to the Treasury... but without actually doing a thing! On net, a gold re-marking would increase the size of both Treasury & Fed balance sheets + allow for TGA to be used for Treasury priorities (i.e. SWF, pay down debt, fund deficit, etc). Meanwhile, the Fed and Treasury magically conjure some $990 billion out of thing air to be spent on whatever, all because the Treasury agrees that the fair value of gold is... the fair value of gold.
