Marc welcomes legal analyst Hans von Spakovsky from Advancing American Freedom to break down the Fifth Circuit's ruling allowing illegal immigrants to be detained without bond — a major win for Trump's immigration agenda. Hans explains that prior administrations ignored the clear letter of the law and that due process for illegal entrants is defined by statute, not the Constitution. They discuss anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis and the legal grounds for arresting them for blocking federal operations. The conversation shifts to the Epstein case, where Hans warns that unredacted DOJ documents viewed by Reps. Massey and Khanna must protect victims' privacy and may not yield new criminal evidence. Marc closes with skepticism toward online conspiracy claims about Epstein still being alive.

Groundhog Day brings a lighthearted start, but today's conversation quickly turns serious as we examine why the courts matter more than ever. With rulings on election integrity and federal immigration enforcement making headlines, this episode breaks down how the judicial branch is shaping the future of the country. We look closely at the role of the Supreme Court, the importance of constitutional originalism, and why justices like Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch matter in the fight to preserve liberty and the rule of law. If we want to remain a nation governed by laws—not political agendas—understanding how the courts are supposed to function is essential. This episode connects the dots between culture, elections, and the Constitution itself.

As Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey face serious scrutiny, the predictable narrative is already forming: cries that this is “Trump targeting political enemies.”Todd explains why context matters, why this isn't political persecution but lawful enforcement, and why California could be next.

In Episode 446 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker asks a fundamental question: Does the rule of law still matter?This episode examines a public letter issued by faculty affiliated with the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs criticizing immigration enforcement—and what that letter reveals about the mindset of modern public policy elites. Drawing on his personal experience as a graduate of both the Humphrey School and the Mondale School of Law, Parker explores what the letter says, what it omits, and why selective outrage erodes public trust, safety, and democratic accountability.The discussion addresses immigration, enforcement of existing law, large-scale fraud, public safety, and the dangers of academic echo chambers that prioritize ideology over consequences. Parker also connects these issues to broader constitutional concerns, including the boundaries of the First Amendment, institutional responsibility, and the real-world cost of abandoning law and order.A candid and timely episode on immigration, public policy, and why a society that stops enforcing its laws places itself at risk.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

NULLIFICATION AND THE WEAPONIZATION OF IMPEACHMENT Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. The discussion covers modern "nullification," where jurisdictions like sanctuary cities deliberately ignore federal immigration laws, creating a dangerous legal asymmetry. Hanson also argues that the impeachment process has been distorted into a political tool used to punish first-term presidents who lose congressional majorities, rather than for genuine high crimes. He contends that the dual impeachment of Donald Trump set a destructive precedent that effectively nullifies the electoral will of the citizenry. NUMBER 6

The Lawyer Stories Podcast episode 245 welcomes back our friend Michael Kotik — returning from episode 168 — Philadelphia Criminal Defense Attorney and Partner at SKA Law Group, LLC. We discuss the convergence and intersection of criminal law and immigration law, and what really happens behind the scenes with ICE agents and immigrants appearing before judicial hearings. Michael breaks down the complex challenges these cases create for law firms, the human stakes involved, and why he continues to fight passionately for his clients' rights in some of the most difficult circumstances.
Mike Erre joins Phil and Skye to discuss a New York Times column by David Brooks. He says America's divisions will only heal when we abandon shallow labels and war metaphors, and instead see one another as fellow pilgrims on a journey. America's Catholic bishops issue a stern rebuke of the Trump administration's dehumanizing rhetoric and policies, which makes Phil wonder why evangelical leaders can't do the same. Then, Skye talks to Kentucky's Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, about why he's so popular in a state that Donald Trump won by 30 points, and how his party can begin to narrow the "God gap" with voters. Also this week—an A.I. vacuum cleaner has an existential crisis.
