To start the show off today, we re-visit the claims made against Buffalo Public Schools by Richard Hy. As it turns out, as WBEN uncovered via a FOIA request, a rape did take place at McKinley High School recently. Knowing that now, if you didn't believe Detective Hy before, do you now? Also, we'd be remiss if we didn't cover some Independence Day topics, including a Facebook post where someone questions if they will fly the American Flag this 4th of July, and what your lineage has contributed to American history. Also discussed today, Congress has passed the Big Beautiful Bill, and a dog was fatally shot and killed by a Buffalo police officer.

Congressman Burgess Owens joins to discuss the big, beautiful bill making its way through Congress, which encompasses various aspects of President Trump's agenda, including tax cuts and immigration enforcement. One of the significant provisions is the school choice tax credit, aimed at empowering parents and enhancing educational options for their children. Congressman Owens passionately advocates for middle-class families, emphasizing the importance of choice and accountability in education. He also addresses the recent Supreme Court ruling on parental rights in education, highlighting the growing frustration among parents regarding public school curricula. Mike Howell, President of the Oversight Project, discusses the recent revelations from a trove of documents obtained through a FOIA request. Howell sheds light on potential conflicts within the DOJ regarding Hunter Biden's legal issues and the alleged insider dealings of the Biden administration. Finally, AMAC spokesman and a Republican candidate for governor of Maine Bobby Charles joins for his weekly segment and shares his insights on recent Supreme Court decisions affecting immigration policies, the challenges of border security, and his vision for revitalizing the state.

Brett recently made an appearance on William Ramsey Investigates with top Hollywood-DC researcher and writer Matthew Alford to discuss the murder of deep state-connected Hollywood screenwriter Gary DeVore. Brett interviewed Alford about his 2016 book on the DeVore case—The Writer with No Hands—for the latest issue of Cultural Engineering Studies. The discussion on the show touches on Hollywood's vast relationship to the federal government and the clandestine world more broadly, as well as the history and challenges of using FOIA (the Freedom of Information Act) to obtain documents from the government regarding its collaborations with the entertainment industry.Note: The livestream of this conversation experienced some audio issues, such issues have been edited out as much as possible https://drmattalford.substack.com/https://www.youtube.com/@DrMatthewAlfordhttps://www.amazon.com/Writer-No-Hands-Pocket-sized/dp/1530649870/https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/https://decoding-culture.com/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-2/https://decoding-culture.com/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-2/#interview-with-matthew-alfordhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

When Trump Couldn't Deport, He BombedTariffs blocked. Deportations sandbagged. So he reached for the B‑2s.It's easy to see Trump's June 2025 bombing of Iranian nuclear sites as yet another episode of MAGA theater—rage, firepower, and a dramatic “message sent.” But this time, it wasn't just for show. This was an act of geopolitical spite born from domestic paralysis. Trump, denied the ability to wage his preferred internal war—on undocumented immigrants, on tariffs, on the bureaucracy—chose instead to unleash a foreign one. If he couldn't stimulate the economy through deportation logistics and tariff revenue, he'd do it through the defense budget.Trump's economic nationalism has never required foreign conquest. He intended to stimulate the economy by taxing imports, expelling millions of undocumented immigrants, and redirecting federal spending into buses, lawyers, detention centers, and federal contractors. Like the Marshall Plan or post-9/11 Homeland Security boom—but pointed inward. That vision, however controversial, was internally coherent. But it collapsed under the weight of injunctions and process lawfare.While Obama removed over 3 million people, many via expedited removal, he was never seriously challenged by courts. But when Trump tried to expand expedited removal to cover undocumented individuals who had been in the U.S. for under two years, he was blocked by courts demanding hearings and extended due process. The same statutory tools were treated differently depending on who wielded them.Stripped of the tools used by every prior “Deporter-in-Chief,” Trump pivoted to the one realm where injunctions have no reach: foreign policy. And in the Middle East, he still had one friend—Israel. Surrounded by adversaries at home and abroad, Trump leaned into his relationship with Netanyahu, using Iran as a stand-in for every institution that blocked him at home.So came Operation Midnight Hammer. B-2 bombers dropped bunker-busting payloads on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. These were not just tactical targets—they were symbolic, theatrical, and strategic. It was a clear message to allies and enemies: if I can't fix the country my way, I'll make my power felt overseas.War is bipartisan. It doesn't get bogged down in courtrooms or FOIA requests. Unlike mass deportation—which would have required years of hearings and billions in logistics—bombing Iran took hours, not lawsuits.This wasn't just a military decision—it was a political workaround. When the courts took away his buses and judges and deportation raids, Trump gave the defense contractors what they wanted instead. Foreign war became his fallback stimulus.If America won't allow a domestic war on illegals, maybe it'll settle for a traditional one abroad. Either way, the spending flows.

A FOIA request has revealed that Missouri spent $30.1 million in NIL this past year. We break it down by month, debate whether or not we'll see more figures revealed, and if it's a good thing that the numbers came out.

The world learned Thursday night that Brian O'Connor, who had signed an extension with UVA just last June that paid him $1.4 million a year, making him the eight-highest-paid coach in college baseball, is now the second-highest-paid coach in college baseball, at $2.9 million a year. Mississippi State Athletics went out of its way to make this public – which is to say, they didn't make reporters file a FOIA request and wait five days to get a copy of the term sheet. The former Mississippi Agricultural & Mechanical College wanted everybody to know that it had poached its new baseball coach from a blue blood with a $14.2 billion endowment. The shocking annual salary, and four-year contract, puts a different perspective on the hue and cry from O'Connor from last fall and into the spring about Carla Williams not being willing to give him the resources he needed to be able to compete.

Welcome to this explosive edition of Light ‘Em Up!In these critical and delicate times that we find ourselves in — democracy is in clear and present danger.As nothing feels certain or safe and everything appears to be in “transition” we interrogate and examine the Trump Administration and its efforts to suspend the “great writ” of Habeas corpus.Habeas corpus is a legal doctrine whose original purpose was to contest detention by the king. The origins of the writ, or “written order” (its Latin name means, loosely, “produce the body”), can be traced to 13th century England.On June 15, 1215, at Runnymede, the barons who had banded together to impose legal restrictions on King John's power forced him to affix his seal to the Magna Carta.One of its curbs on the sovereign's power reads, in part, “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned…except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.”The writ of habeas corpus appears in the U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 9, clause 2 includes this single sentence: “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”Habeas corpus requires a jailer to produce a prisoner in a court of law so the basis for detention can be reviewed. The Constitution presupposes this right, but its use has been sharply restricted during past wars.Fast forward to the present, as Donald Trump continues on his “revenge tour” — his administration has shown itself to be big on conducting legal proceedings without due process for the defendants it pursues, just as George W. Bush did with “enemy combatants” at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, post 9-11.The Trump White House continues to break things like “Wreck it Ralph”— and has floated the idea of suspending Habeas corpus in the context of an “alien invasion” as it pertains to immigration, sparking widespread and grave concerns about the erosion of fundamental rights and the separation of powers.With mass deportations taking place without due process and the suspension of Habeas corpus, the rule of law and democracy itself is under a serious threat.While the Constitution allows for the suspension of Habeas corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion where the public safety is at stake, it is a power that must be exercised sparingly and only in extraordinary circumstances. Circumstances that we clearly are NOT in.With this probing, penetrating and pointed look … we ask out loud if we are on a collision course with the tyranny that brought about a coup d' état in Chile in 1973, where the military ousted then President Allende, General Agusto Pinochet seized power, democracy collapsed and repression, murder and great suffering followed (all backed and funded by the US CIA & State Department in the Nixon administration).As we challenge you to think critically, we probe further, examining the historical suspension of Habeas corpus, we think you'll be surprised to hear that one of the Presidents considered to be the “GOAT” (greatest of all time) suspended the writ of Habeas corpus, and we'll deliver the facts not the fiction surrounding this.We'll itemize some of the “pitfalls” and potential terrible consequences of decisions such as this, as we've learned through a FOIA request that the FBI has ordered its agents to scale back white-collar crime investigations to pursue more immigration crime instead.The rule of law and democracy are endangered!Previous Supreme Courts have held in reverence and referred to Habeas corpus as, “the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action.”The current Supreme Court has been at best tepid in its support and defense of the U.S. ConWe want to hear from you!

In the first segment of today's Project Censored, Mickey welcomes back Lauren Harper and Seth Stern from the Freedom of the Press Foundation. They discuss several matters including their latest FOIA work on how the Trump administration has been treating immigrants, students and other vulnerable groups across the country. They provide an update on Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk and her release from detention in Louisiana, as well as updates on attacks on non-profits and the press at large, including attacks on major establishment media outlets. Later in the program, Mickey welcomes back the iconic attorney and prolific author Ralph Nader. They discuss his new book, out from Seven Stories Press, Civic Self-Respect. It's a how-to guide on being a more meaningfully engaged citizen with steps anyone can use to fight against growing authoritarianism in the U.S. and how we can create a more robust and representational democratic republic and protect our civil liberties before it's too late. GUESTS: Lauren Harper is Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation (www.freedom.press). Seth Stern is Director of Advocacy, also at the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Founded in 2012, the Foundation is a non-profit organization that defends both freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Among its projects is the Press Freedom tracker, a database of press-freedom violations in the U.S. Ralph Nader's name has been a household word in the US since the 1960s. His activism has covered issues from product safety to health-care policy, and he has founded multiple public-interest organizations.   The post Defending Freedom of Speech and Civil Rights Against Trump / Ralph Nader on “Civic Self-Respect” appeared first on KPFA.

The Supreme Court temporarily stayed two lower court orders Friday that mandated the production of documents and other information from the Department of Government Efficiency. In a brief order from Chief Justice John Roberts, the high court stayed the discovery process in the public records lawsuit against DOGE pending another order by the court. The now-stayed orders from Judge Christopher Cooper of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had granted an expedited discovery schedule that required DOGE to turn over information about its inner workings and have its administrator, Amy Gleason, give a deposition. The decision, for now, allows the Trump administration to withhold information about the Elon Musk-associated efficiency arm while the justices review the government's appeal. On Wednesday, Solicitor General D. John Sauer asked the high court for emergency relief in the case, arguing that Cooper's decision turned the Freedom of Information Act “on its head.” At the heart of the case, which was brought by the government watchdog nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, is the question of whether DOGE constitutes an “agency” for the purposes of FOIA. While the administration says that DOGE is exempt from public records laws as a presidential advisory body, the nonprofit argues that the efficiency team has wielded “substantial independent authority” and as such is subject to FOIA and the Federal Records Act, which requires preservation of records. Staff at the Department of Homeland Security are no longer allowed to use commercial generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Claude, according to a memo sent to employees this month. The move is a reversal of a previous policy — which had conditionally allowed the use of commercial systems — and a pivot toward technology developed in-house. Earlier this month, DHS's chief information officer, Antoine McCord, sent a memo directing component tech offices to begin “restricting” the use of generative AI systems and pointing employees to internal tools. Older guidance, which the CIO described as “outdated” and “too narrowly” focused on commercial generative AI, was also removed from an online list of IT management directives. The decision comes as federal agencies weigh various pathways toward integrating generative AI into their workflows, a priority of both the Biden and Trump administrations. While some government agencies initially blocked generative AI systems, CIOs have slowly started to develop usage policies. Some agencies, like DHS and the General Services Administration, have now built their own platforms based on commercial technologies, while others have opted to use products like ChatGPT Gov through government cloud systems.

This Day in Legal History:  Schecter Poultry Corp DecidedOn May 27, 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, delivering a major blow to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. In a unanimous ruling, the Court struck down the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), a cornerstone of Roosevelt's economic recovery plan during the Great Depression. The case centered on the Schechter brothers, who ran a poultry business in Brooklyn and were charged with violating fair competition codes established under NIRA. The Court held that the NIRA unlawfully delegated legislative power to the executive branch without clear standards, violating the nondelegation doctrine.The justices also found that the federal government had overreached its authority by regulating purely intrastate commerce. The Schechters' business operated entirely within New York, and the Court concluded it had only an indirect effect on interstate commerce—placing it beyond Congress's regulatory power under the Commerce Clause. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, writing for the Court, emphasized the need for separation of powers and warned against unchecked executive authority.This ruling sharply curtailed New Deal programs that relied on broad executive discretion and forced the Roosevelt administration to reconsider its legislative strategies. It also marked one of the last major uses of the nondelegation doctrine to invalidate federal legislation. While the doctrine has since faded in use, the decision remains a potent symbol of judicial limits on federal power. The Schechter case underscored the constitutional requirement that Congress, not the president, must make the laws, and that those laws must respect the boundaries of federalism.The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court's order that would have required the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by President Trump and closely associated with Elon Musk, to turn over records and allow a top official, Amy Gleason, to testify. Chief Justice John Roberts granted the administrative stay without comment, giving the Court time to consider whether a longer pause is warranted. The case, brought by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), hinges on whether DOGE qualifies as a federal agency under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which would subject it to transparency requirements.The Trump administration argues DOGE is not covered by FOIA and has pushed back against efforts to obtain discovery—evidence and testimony—from the office. A federal judge had previously authorized limited discovery to help determine DOGE's legal status, which led to the administration's emergency appeal to the Supreme Court. The Justice Department claims this process threatens the separation of powers by exposing a presidential advisory body to scrutiny.CREW contends the administration is trying to bypass judicial review and shield the office from public accountability. Though Elon Musk is seen as the public face of DOGE, the administration denies he holds any formal role. The Court's intervention pauses imminent deadlines for DOGE to release records and participate in depositions, but a full ruling on the core legal question remains pending.Supreme Court Pauses Order for DOGE Records and Testimony - BloombergA federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to help a gay Guatemalan man, identified as O.C.G., return to the United States after he was wrongfully deported to Mexico. The man had fled Guatemala due to threats linked to his sexuality and was granted protection by an immigration judge. However, just two days after that ruling, U.S. officials mistakenly deported him to Mexico, where he had previously been raped and kidnapped.U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, based in Boston, issued the order after the Justice Department admitted it had no evidence that O.C.G. was ever asked about fears of being sent to Mexico, contradicting earlier claims. The judge called the situation a "horror" and emphasized that the man had been denied his constitutional right to due process. The case is part of a broader class action challenging the administration's deportation practices, particularly efforts to send individuals to third countries without assessing safety concerns.Murphy had already ruled that deportations under such conditions violated due process protections. The ruling also follows similar failures by the administration, including the wrongful deportation of another protected individual to El Salvador. O.C.G.'s legal team, now working on a return plan, said he chose to return to Guatemala and went into hiding after facing long asylum wait times in Mexico.US judge orders Trump administration to facilitate return of Guatemalan deportee | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week dives into a deceptively boring topic that's quietly poised to become a compliance headache: killing the penny. On the surface, it's a monetary housekeeping item. But as I argue, the downstream effects—particularly for state sales tax systems—are anything but trivial.The central problem isn't emotional attachment to small coins. It's rounding—specifically, how states choose to round transactions in a penny-free world. If states start rounding tax amounts instead of total amounts, or worse, do it differently depending on whether someone pays in cash or by card, they're walking straight into a legal buzzsaw. The Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA) bars discriminatory treatment of electronic commerce. And no, that doesn't only apply to online transactions—if digital payments consistently produce higher tax totals than cash ones, that's arguably “discrimination,” and litigation will follow.The fix? Simple enough: keep tax calculations exact to the penny, round only the total cash transaction due to the nearest nickel, and let the retailer absorb the difference. It's not pain-free—retailers lose a few cents here, gain a few there—but it keeps digital systems intact and legal risk low. Rounding the tax itself may feel “efficient,” but it's a compliance trap that opens states to lawsuits and chaos in point-of-sale systems designed for one-cent precision.And that's before we even get to the technical debt. E-commerce platforms, credit card processors, and small business systems have no concept of nickel rounding. Forcing them to adapt would mean software rewrites no one asked for—and in many cases, from vendors who no longer exist.The upside here is policy gold: rounding only at the total level nudges more transactions toward cards and mobile payments, where amounts are exact and sales tax compliance is tighter. Fewer paper trails, fewer “zappers,” and fewer discrepancies in audit.So yes, the penny is obsolete. But if states mishandle the transition, they'll find out just how expensive abolishing it can be.

  50 Reasons For 50 Years - Episode 08 Ted Yacucci - YouTube Channel Ted's 2024 interview on Black Op Radio, Episode #1225. Listen here. Respectfully, Ted has enjoyed a distinguished career working in media for decades. Len is a huge fan! New documents prove the CIA assassinated JFK. Watch Video. Len thanks and congratulations Ted for his good work, after starting his serious JFK research 20 years ago. Ted was just 8 years old when JFK was assassinated and fascinated by the case after watching Ruby shoot Oswald. Ted's research has really had two main focuses, Ruth Paine and the Chicago plot. During 2013, Ted and Ruth Paine corresponded several times over the phone during a 3 month period. When Ted didn't agree that Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in the General Walker shooting, Ruth denied a final interview. Ted has travelled to Chicago several times over the years, while researching the Chicago plot, filing several FOIA requests. Predictably, Ted was not given any serious answers via the various FOIA requests to the JFK assassination info gatekeepers. Since retiring recently in December, Ted has had a lot of fun creating new JFK video content. Have you seen Ted's most recent video, "You May Be A Lone Nutter If You..."? View Here. Len really likes this video of Ted's as it shows the CIA's methods for removing governments in an articulate manner. Ted makes it obvious that the CIA was out of control, manipulating elections and Congress, creating government coups etc.. The CIA was running contributions to a strike in British Guiana via cover under the AFL-CIO and George Meany. George Meany, President of the AFL-CIO, was CIA. Watch here. Why would an American union be used to help fund and organize a strike in a foreign country? Pre-electoral interference. In March and May of 1964, the CIA gave money to the Christian Democratic candidate, Eduardo Frei. A whopping $750k was funnelled by the CIA to Frei in March and $1.25 million in May, in efforts to defeat Salvador Allende. Over the next 8 years, the CIA kept up their efforts to keep Allende out of power. 1972 the CIA couldn't stop the people from voting for Allende, who became President. The CIA then sponsored a coup against President Salvador Allende, installing dictator Augusto Pinochet. Upon becoming President, Pinochet cancelled open free democratic elections after he was installed into power. Pinochet's dictatorship lasted about 20 years, during which time, a genocide was perpetuated against the Chilean people. In 1953, the overthrow of the democratically elected government happened in Iran, with the CIA installing Shah Pahlevi. Oil profits were funnelled to Britain and the United States after the coup, Iran has never been the same since the takeover. All of the CIA's chaos and genocides that they create comes down to GREED and PROFIT. It’s disgusting. Guatemalan President was thrown out mainly by the Dulles brothers, major shareholders in the United Fruit Company. United Fruit Company owned over 80% of the land in Guatemala, who was dependent on the CIA. After Guatemalan President, Elfego H. Monzon was removed from power, a genocide followed, over the next 20 years. The year before, the CIA had eliminated Congo President, Patrice Lumumba.on January 17, 1961. Patrice Lumumba wanted to have a fair democracy for the poor people of the Congo. He wanted the best for his people. During these events, John Kennedy was inaugurated as President on January 20th, 1961. Everyone knew that JFK was a big supporter of Lumumba, and would not have wanted him touched. When Kennedy found out Lumumba was kidnapped and murdered, he was openly devastated hearing the news. In the 1947 CIA Charter, the CIA was authorized to operate a mind control program like MK Ultra! LSD experiments included giving LSD to participants for 77 days straight!

Send us a textWhen LaToya Richards' four-month-old daughter Harper fell from a changing table, what should have been a routine precautionary doctor's visit spiraled into a months-long nightmare that nearly destroyed their family. This powerful episode exposes the terrifying reality of medical kidnapping in blue states and how quickly parental rights can be stripped away by zealous government agencies.Bryce and LaToya Richards share the minute-by-minute account of their ordeal - from hospital staff who initially reassured them that changing table falls were common, to social workers who appeared at their door, to the seven officers with battering rams who came to forcibly remove their daughter. Their story reveals how exercising constitutional rights can be weaponized against parents, with CPS text messages later obtained through FOIA requests showing officials mocking their legal choices with comments like "it's their constitutional right, lol."The conversation takes listeners deep into the mechanics of how these systems operate. We discover the financial incentives driving child removal, how evidence that would exonerate parents is deliberately omitted from reports, and why conservative families appear to be disproportionately targeted. Though all medical tests eventually cleared the Richards of any wrongdoing, they faced a nearly year-long battle to be fully exonerated - a battle that ultimately drove them to leave Washington state for Texas.This episode isn't just a cautionary tale; it's a practical guide for parents. The Richards offer specific strategies for protecting your family, from understanding your rights to creating emergency plans. Their experience illuminates why more families are fleeing blue states and provides crucial information about how state residency affects jurisdictional protection of your children.Whether you're a parent concerned about government overreach or simply value constitutional freedoms, this conversation reveals uncomfortable truths about systems supposedly designed to protect our most vulnerable. Listen, share, and prepare - before your family faces a similar nightmare.Support the showLearn more about Conservative Ladies of America: Conservative Ladies of America - Conservative Ladies of AmericaEmail me: info@juliebarrett.usConnect with me on social!(2) FacebookJulie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) / X (twitter.com)IG: @realjuliebarrett Conservative Podcast | Julie Barrett Womansplaining

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland pull back the curtain on disturbing issues in Horry County, South Carolina. Our team narrows focus to Weldon Boyd's troubling narrative, detailing how Boyd admittedly followed Scott Spivey before the fatal shooting. The hosts dissect the circumstances, questioning the application of "Stand Your Ground" given Weldon's decision to pursue Scott onto Camp Swamp Road. We'll also lob criticisms at the press, particularly local media in Horry County, for initial "basic" reporting and for not aggressively pursuing the story. And we'll touch on the lack of accountability for Horry County police leadership, challenges with FOIA redactions, and the political reluctance of state officials like the Governor to intervene.  While the growing public outcry from Horry County residents demanding change offers a glimmer of hope, these circumstances paint a vivid picture of systemic failures, a lack of accountability, and the ongoing struggle for transparency and justice in Horry County. Knowing Horry County's heavy reliance on tourism dollars means these issues of safety and public trust have significant economic stakes. ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References A warning for potential South Carolina tourists: You may not be safe “In Stores, Secret Surveillance Tracks Your Every Move” - The New York Times, from The Privacy Project Series “Why U.S. air traffic control is stretched so thin — and the fight to fix it” - CNBC, Updated May 10, 2025 “Your Apps Know Where You Were Last Night, and They're Not Keeping It Secret” - The New York Times, Dec. 10, 2018 Parts of a Springfield XDM Pistol “Letting retirees double-dip is the wrong way to keep SC teachers in the classroom” - The State, March 27, 2018 FBI as Primary Investigators of Civil Right Violations Horry County PD Facebook Post with Pamela Evette - May 9, 2025 “Are Agencies Required to Release Body-Worn Camera Footage” - Municipal Association of South Carolina Upcoming Events Michael Colucci re-trial set to begin on June 16th, 2025 Walking With Stephen event on July 12th Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ ⁠⁠Premium Members⁠⁠ also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts. ⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠ to learn more: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE⁠⁠.

     Slam the Gavel welcomes Heather Bendl to the podcast. Heather is originally from Round Lake, Illinois but now resides in the Daytona, Florida area.     She has four children ages 18, 17, 13, and 8. She was married to their father Justin Serlick from 2003 to 2013. Upon her divorce she was awarded sole custody of the oldest three. Justin Serlick refused to move out of Heather's home with her children after the divorce and he continued to emotionally and physically abuse the children and Heather.      In 2017 Heather had her fourth child with Justin, this was not a planned pregnancy. In fact, she was in school full-time working on her Bachelor's of Science Degree at UW-Parkside in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Justin was taking advantage of Heather after she would take her Ambien to sleep. Heather had tried over the years to get Justin to move out of her home but his mother had threatened Heather over the years that if she removed Justin from the home she would make sure Heather never saw her children again......Non-Profit Email Address:JusticefortheSerlickChildren@gmail.comNon-Profit YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@JusticefortheSerlickChildrenNon-Profit FB Page:https://www.facebook.com/JusticefortheSerlickChildrenSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Is the fate of America's wild horses at risk? Project 2025's proposal to "dispose humanely" of nearly 68,000 wild horses and burros in holding facilities has alarming implications. This isn't wildlife management—it's extinction.   In this powerful episode, I talk with wild horse advocate and FOIA expert Debbie Coffey about the troubling consequences of Project 2025 for wild horses. The situation has grown more dire with recent changes at the Department of the Interior. This could lead to drastic cuts for wild horse programs and set the stage for mass killings. Now, more than ever, we need whistleblowers and public awareness to prevent a horrifying and inhumane slaughter.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/52

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that Iran must agree to not having a nuclear weapon in its negotiations with President Donald Trump – or military action will be used. The Sekulow team discusses Hegseth's warning to Iran, the impact of Trump's airstrikes against the Houthi rebels, U.S. foreign policy, the ongoing legal battle over mass deportations to El Salvador, the latest ACLJ's FOIA discovery – and much more.

Ralph speaks to Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank about the Trump Administration's path of destruction in our federal government. Then, Ralph welcomes legendary public interest lawyer Alan Morrison to discuss the President's authority to impose tariffs and other constitutional questions.Dana Milbank is a nationally syndicated op-ed columnist for the Washington Post. He also provides political commentary for various TV outlets, and he is the author of five books on politics, including the New York Times bestseller The Destructionists and the national bestseller Homo Politicus. His latest book is Fools on the Hill: The Hooligans, Saboteurs, Conspiracy Theories and Dunces who Burned Down the House.I shouldn't be amazed, but Mike Johnson never ceases to amaze me with the rapidity with which he'll just drop to his knees whenever Trump says something.Dana MilbankWe're going to know this shortly, but it does appear that Trump's honeymoon may be over in the House as the conservatives finally seem to be finding their backbones. But I've thought that might happen before and then only to find out that they, in fact, they could not locate their backbones. So I don't want to be premature.Dana MilbankTrump seems to be gambling (and the administration seems to be gambling) that ultimately the Supreme Court is going to a wholesale reinterpretation of the Constitution to grant these never-before-seen executive powers, and it's possible that he's right about that. We're not going to know that. There have been a couple of preliminary rulings that seem friendly to Trump, but none of those is final, so we can't really be sure of it.Dana MilbankMy guess is that Chief Justice Roberts is seeing his legacy heading toward the ditch after his decision of Trump v. United States, where he said that Presidents cannot be criminally prosecuted….My guess is he's going to unpleasantly surprise Trump in the coming months.Ralph NaderAlan Morrison is the Lerner Family Associate Dean for Public Interest & Public Service at George Washington Law School. He currently teaches civil procedure and constitutional law, and previously taught at Harvard, NYU, Stanford, Hawaii, and American University law schools. He has argued 20 cases in the Supreme Court and co-founded the Public Citizen Litigation Group in 1972, which he directed for more than 25 years.It's inevitable that even for a non-economist like myself to understand that [the costs of tariffs] are going to be passed on. Other than Donald Trump, I don't think there's anybody who believes that these taxes are not going to be passed on and that they're going to be borne by the country from which the company did the exporting.Alan MorrisonIt's an uphill battle on both the statutory interpretation and the undue delegation grounds, but our position is rather simple: If the Congress doesn't write a statute so that there's something that the government can't order or do, then it's gone too far. In effect, it has surrendered to the President its power to set policy and do the legislative function. Interestingly, Trump has trumpeted the breadth of what he's doing here. He calls it a revolution. Well, if we have revolutions in this country, my copy of the Constitution says that the Congress has to enact revolution and the President can't do it on its own. So we think we've got a pretty strong case if we can get it to court.Alan MorrisonOne of the things that I've been struck by is that laws alone cannot make this country governable. That we can't write laws to cover every situation and every quirk that any person has, especially the President. We depend on the norms of government—that people will do things not exactly the way everybody did them before, but along the same general lines, and that when we make change, we make them in moderation, because that's what the people expect. Trump has shed all norms.Alan MorrisonNews 4/9/251. Our top story this week is the killing of Omar Mohammed Rabea, an American citizen in Gaza. Known as Amer, the BBC reports the 14-year-old was shot by the Israeli military along with two other 14-year-old boys “on the outskirts of Turmus Ayya” on Sunday evening. Predictably, the IDF called these children “terrorists.” According to NJ.com – Rabea formerly resided in Saddle Brook, New Jersey – Rabea's uncle sits on the board of a local Palestinian American Community Center which told the press “The ambulance was not allowed to pass the checkpoint for 30 minutes, a denial in medical treatment that ultimately resulted in Amer's death…[his] death was entirely preventable and horrifically unjust. He was a child, a 14-year-old boy, with an entire life ahead of him.” The Rachel Corrie Foundation, founded in honor of the American peace activist killed by an Israeli bulldozer while protesting the demolition of a Palestinian home, issued a statement reading “Rabea's death…was perpetuated by Israeli settlers who act with impunity…We believe that if our own government demanded accountability…Rabea would still be alive.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has sent a letter to Attorney General Bondi demanding an investigation, but chances of the Trump administration pursuing justice in this case are slim.2. Meanwhile, President Trump seems to be driving the U.S. economy into a deep recession. Following his much-publicized tariff announcement last week – which included 10% tariffs on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands – the S&P dipped by 10.5%, among the largest drops in history, per the New York Times. Far from making Trump back off however, he appears dead set on pushing this as far as it will go. After the People's Republic of China responded to the threat of a 54% tariff with a reciprocal 34% tariff, Trump announced the U.S. will retaliate by upping the tariff to a whopping 104% on Chinese imports, according to the BBC. Reuters reports that JP Morgan forecasts a 60% chance of a recession as a result of these tariffs.3. In more foreign affairs news, on Friday April 4th, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol was officially removed from office by that country's Constitutional Court, “ending months of uncertainty and legal wrangling after he briefly declared martial law in December,” per CNN. The South Korean parliament had already voted to impeach Yoon in December of 2024. The court's decision was unanimous and characterized the leader's actions as a “grave betrayal of the people's trust.” Upon this ruling being handed down, Yoon was forced to immediately vacate the presidential residence. A new election is scheduled for June 3rd. Incredible what a political and judicial class unafraid to stand up to lawlessness can accomplish.4. Speaking of ineffectual opposition parties, one need look no further than Texas' 18th congressional district. This safe Democratic district – including most of central Houston – was held by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee from 1995 until her death in 2024. According to the Texas Tribune, Lee planned to run yet again in 2024, triumphing over her 43-year-old former aide Amanda Edwards in the primary. However, Lee passed in July of 2024. Edwards again sought the nomination, but the Harris County Democratic Party instead opted for 69-year-old former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, per the Texas Tribune. Turner made it to March of 2025 before he too passed away. This seat now sits vacant – depriving the residents of central Houston of congressional representation and the Democrats of a vote in the House. Governor Gregg Abbot has announced that he will not allow a special election before November 2025, the Texas Tribune reports. This is a stunning Democratic own-goal and indicative of the literal death grip the gerontocratic old guard continue to have on the party.5. One ray of hope is that Democratic voters appear to be waking up the ineffectual nature of the party leadership. A new Data for Progress poll of the 2028 New York Senate primary posed a hypothetical matchup between incumbent Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic Socialist firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – and found AOC with a staggering lead of 19 points. This poll showed AOC winning voters under 45 by 50 points, over 45s by eight points, non-college educated by 16 points, college educated by 23 points, Black and white voters by 16 points, and Latinos by 28. Schumer led among self-described “Moderates” by 15 and no other group. It remains to be seen whether the congresswoman from Queens will challenge the Senate Minority Leader, but this poll clearly shows her popularity in the state of New York, and Schumer's abysmal reputation catching up with him.6. Another bright spot from New York, is Zohran Mamdani's mayoral candidacy and specifically his unprecedented field operation. According to the campaign, between April 1st and April 6th, volunteers knocked on 41,591 doors. No mayoral campaign in the history of the city has generated a grassroots movement of this intensity, with politicians traditionally relying on political machines or enormous war chests to carry them to victory. Mamdani has already reached the public financing campaign donation cap, so he can focus all of his time and energy on grassroots outreach. He remains the underdog against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, but his campaign appears stronger every day.7. Turning to the turmoil in the federal regulatory apparatus, POLITICO reports Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has eliminated the Freedom of Information Act offices at the Centers for Disease Control, and other HHS agencies. An anonymous source told the publication that HHS will consolidate its FOIA requests into one HHS-wide office, but “Next steps are still in flux.” In the meantime, there will be no one to fulfill FOIA requests at these agencies. This piece quotes Scott Amey, general counsel at the Project on Government Oversight, who said this “sends a wrong message to the public on the administration's commitment to transparency.” Amey added, “I often say that FOIA officers are like librarians in knowing the interactions of the agency…If you don't have FOIA officers with that specific knowledge, it will slow down the process tremendously.”8. At the Federal Trade Commission, Axios reports the Trump administration has “paused” the FTC's lawsuit against major pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, related to “the drug middlemen…inflating the price of insulin and driving up costs to diabetes patients.” The case, filed against CVS Caremark, OptumRx and Express Scripts was halted by the FTC in light of “the fact that there are currently no sitting Commissioners able to participate in this matter.” That is because Trump unlawfully fired the two remaining Democratic commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter. In a statement, former FTC Chair Lina Khan called this move “A gift to the PBMs.”9. One federal regulatory agency that seems to be at least trying to do their job is the Federal Aviation Administration. According to the American Prospect, the FAA has “[has] proposed [a] rule that would mandate Boeing update a critical communications malfunction in their 787 Dreamliner plane that could lead to disastrous accidents.” As this piece explains, “very high frequency (VHF) radio channels are transferring between the active and standby settings without flight crew input.” The FAA's recommendation in is that Boeing address the issue with an update to the radio software. Yet disturbingly, in one of the comments on this proposed rule Qatar Airways claims that, “[they have] already modified all affected…airplanes with … [the recommended software updates] …However … flight crew are still reporting similar issues.” This comment ends with Qatar Airways stating that they believe, “the unsafe condition still exists.” Boeing planes have been plagued by critical safety malfunctions in recent years, most notably the 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed nearly 350 people.10. Finally, on a somewhat lighter note, you may have heard about Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur dubbed “The Man Who Wants to Live Forever.” Johnson has attracted substantial media attention for his unorthodox anti-aging methods, including regular transfusions of plasma from his own son. But this story is not about Johnson's bizarre immortality obsession, but rather his unsavory corporate practices. A new piece in New York Magazine focuses on the lawsuits filed against Johnson by his all-too-mortal workers, represented by eminent labor lawyer Matt Bruenig. This piece relays how Johnson “required his staffers to sign 20-page NDAs,” and an “opt-in” document which informed his employees they had to be comfortable “being around Johnson while he has very little clothing on” and “discussions for media production including erotica (for example, fan fiction including but not limited to story lines/ideas informed by the Twilight series and-or 50 Shades of Grey.)” Bruenig says, “That stuff is weird,” but his main interest is in the nondisparagement agreements, including the one Johnson's former employee and former fiancée Taylor Southern entered into which has further complicated an already thorny legal dispute between Johnson and herself. Now Bruenig is fighting for Southern and against these blanket nondisparagement agreements in a case that could help define the limits of employer's power to control their workers' speech. Hopefully, Bruenig will prevail in showing that Johnson, whatever his pretensions, truly is a mere mortal.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

For their first series, the students are investigating the disappearance of the Skelton Brothers, and they are handling every aspect of podcast production - from research and FOIA requests to interviews, scriptwriting, recording, editing, and even creating artwork and securing advertising.
