President Trump has deployed National Guard troops to Washington D.C., Portland, and Chicago — a show of force that raises questions about presidential power and the limits of the law. Chris Cuomo examines how the Insurrection Act of 1807 and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 were designed to separate military authority from civilian law enforcement, and why those boundaries matter now. Cuomo explains how these laws evolved to prevent political misuse of the military, why modern presidents have avoided invoking them, and how Trump's approach tests that restraint. He argues that using military power as a political tool risks normalizing force where policy and persuasion should prevail — a shift that could alter the balance between authority and democracy in the United States."

Recently, President Trump said he would consider using the Insurrection Act if federal courts prevented him from deploying the National Guard to protect federal buildings and conduct law enforcement operations. The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, which Trump claims has been taken over by left-wing “domestic terrorists.” Similar to any civil unrest, various attacks occur in isolated areas. It is not some widespread conquest. However, using terms like "insurrection" and "overturning Posse Comitatus" is a sure sign that there is no stopping a war where the enemy is within—and therefore, everyone is a suspect.

00:10:00 – The 10th Amendment CrisisKnight explains how Trump's use of the Insurrection Act violates state sovereignty and sets a precedent for federal militarization. Republican senators like Murkowski and Tillis express concern but remain too afraid to confront Trump directly. 00:21:13 – ICE Snipers and the War on ProtestVideo evidence shows ICE agents firing pepper balls at peaceful protesters and clergy. Knight argues this militarized policing proves Trump's contempt for civil liberties and the Bill of Rights. 00:30:44 – Artificial Integrity: Pam Bondi & Cash PatelKnight coins the term “artificial integrity” to describe Trump's loyalists like Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, accusing them of evasion, dishonesty, and political theater during congressional hearings about Comey and Epstein. 00:37:36 – Marjorie Taylor Greene Breaks with TrumpKnight highlights Greene's public statement rejecting blind loyalty to Trump and defending her independence. He praises her rare courage, contrasting it with the cowardice of most GOP officials. 00:41:00 – FBI Spies on Republican SenatorsRevelation that the FBI secretly accessed phone records of eight Republican senators triggers outrage. Knight mocks their hypocrisy for ignoring mass surveillance until it targeted them personally. 00:44:24 – Trump Jr.'s Pharma GriftTrump Jr. joins the board of a prescription delivery company set to profit from a Trump administration drug summit. Knight calls it blatant graft disguised as “health reform.” 00:52:21 – Gold Surges Past $4,000Knight reports that gold has shattered the $4,000 mark, framing it as a collapse of faith in fiat currencies rather than a rise in gold's intrinsic value. He warns of a global debt time bomb and urges listeners to hold physical metals, not paper ETFs. 01:21:21 – EU Approves Mass Chat SurveillanceKnight exposes the EU's “Chat Control 2.0,” a regulation scanning all private messages under the pretext of child safety. He compares it to FDR's telegram surveillance and calls it the death of digital privacy in Europe. 01:36:33 – Lagarde Pushes Digital EuroChristine Lagarde complains democracy is too slow for the rollout of a CBDC. Knight calls her “Christine the God,” saying she and von der Leyen are accelerating Europe's technocratic takeover under the guise of efficiency. 01:37:52 – California's Pre-Hate Crime BillKnight highlights California's new hate speech law as the U.S. version of European censorship. He warns it criminalizes “potential hate” and mirrors Soviet-style repression disguised as tolerance. 01:53:08 – Outlawing Hate & Christian PersecutionKnight and callers discuss how outlawing hate only drives resentment underground. They argue Christians and white males have become the primary targets of Western censorship and discrimination campaigns. 01:57:00 – Biden's CIA Cover-Up in UkraineSegment details Biden's effort to suppress intelligence on his family's Ukrainian corruption ties while pressuring prosecutors to halt investigations—evidence of long-standing collusion between the CIA and political elites. 02:03:22 – “Precious Freedom” and the Lies of VietnamAuthor James Bradley joins to discuss his book Precious Freedom, which reexamines the Vietnam War through the eyes of both Americans and Vietnamese. He describes unraveling decades of U.S. propaganda and explains how Vietnamese victory stemmed from defending their homeland—not ideology. 02:17:03 – The Fake North–South Vietnam NarrativeBradley reveals that the U.S. and CIA fabricated the idea of “two Vietnams,” turning a temporary French withdrawal line into a false border to justify intervention. Knight compares it to modern media deception surrounding COVID and other political lies. 02:28:14 – Mothers, Media, and Awakening to WarThe character Betty, a patriotic mother, mirrors America's awakening as she discovers suppressed speeches by Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King Jr. condemning the war. Knight and Bradley discuss how media censorship concealed moral opposition. 02:37:42 – CIA, Opium, and the War MachineKnight and Bradley expose General Westmoreland's alleged role in global opium trafficking and how CIA operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Italy funded covert wars. They argue mainstream media knowingly concealed this vast corruption network. 02:40:49 – The Night War Vietnam StoryBradley explains that America never “won a single 24-hour period” in Vietnam. The Vietcong fought exclusively at night while U.S. troops retreated daily, contradicting the myth that the U.S. “won every battle.” 02:43:55 – Lessons for America's Future WarsBradley likens Ho Chi Minh to George Washington, saying defenders always win when fighting for home. Knight connects these lessons to modern U.S. interventions in Iran and Venezuela, warning that America's leaders keep repeating Vietnam's mistakes. 02:55:49 – The Real Domino TheoryKnight concludes that while America fought communism abroad, Marxism quietly conquered its schools, bureaucracy, and culture—turning the “domino theory” inward.

Michael Smerconish dives into today's provocative poll question: "Will President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops spur the sort of violence that would justify continued military presence?" He unpacks the legal and political stakes — from the Posse Comitatus Act to the Insurrection Act — and asks whether the current strategy could be by design. Listen here, then vote!

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Managing Editor Tyler McBrien, Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman, and Public Service Fellow Loren Voss to talk through (somehow only three of) the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Dream of the ‘90s is Alive in Portland.” This past week, the Trump administration made good on its threats to pursue further domestic military deployments, this time to Portland and Chicago. Thus far, the administration has stuck to the same model it pursued in Los Angeles, using troops to bolster federal immigration enforcement efforts. But President Trump has threatened to go further if his efforts are resisted, including by invoking the Insurrection Act—something that hasn't happened since 1992. How seriously should we take this threat? And where is it likely to lead?“Strip Poker.” President Trump and his senior advisers have been engaged in serious shuttle diplomacy for the past several weeks, seeming intent on reaching some sort of peace deal in the beleaguered Gaza Strip. And while it's required him to play every card in his hand—including by bullying both Israel and Hamas into signing on—President Trump appears to be on the verge of a breakthrough. How remarkable an accomplishment is this? And what will it mean for the trajectory of the conflict?“The Maduro Doctrine.” Media reports suggest that several senior Trump administration officials are intent on removing Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro from power, and that the build-up of U.S. military forces in the region—as well as the lethal targeting of alleged Venezuela-affiliated narcotics traffickers in recent weeks—is just a prelude to a bigger effort at regime change. How likely is it that the Trump administration will take such a step? And what could it mean for the region?In object lessons, everyone's taking a break—sort of. Dan's “break” involves playing The British Way, a strategy game designed by his colleague Stephen Rangazas that even non–political scientists will enjoy. Tyler's actually taking a break and heading back to high school with English Teacher on FX. Scott's taking a break from originality by recycling not one but two object lessons: a reminder to catch Katie Pruitt at Union Stage on 10/14 (seriously, go), and—if you're not in D.C.—Alan's once-in-a-blue-moon good advice to watch Slow Horses on Apple TV+.

A once proud US Attorneys' Office that is both on fire and “leaks” at the same time. A resistance movement of former DOJ senior officials ban together to warn America about the Trump Administration. A current Attorney General who is being judged by history (and future impeachment managers and prosecutors) and is failing on national TV. A Supreme Court and its MAGA wing that woke up and remembered the First Amendment today. Federal judges fight back to protect Trump's hostile take over of Blue States and possible use of the Insurrection Act. The Epstein Scandal roars back into view, as Trump says things out loud about the convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell that gets people starting to look up the 25th Amendment and its removal process again. And Trump's attempts to pin the blame on the Democrats for the first government shut down in history where the President controls all 3 branches of government (!!), backfires spectacularly, including in the Courts. And Popok is at The Intersection to make it make sense.

Jon Herold's midweek show mixes sharp political commentary with humor as he covers the ongoing government shutdown, gold's record-breaking climb past $4,000, and James Comey's much-anticipated arraignment. He questions whether the shutdown even matters when nearly no one feels its effects, while calling out Congress for refusing to pass single-item funding bills. Jon highlights Trump's new endorsements, his deployment of National Guard units, and a declassified 1963 Robert F. Kennedy letter outlining presidential authority to use the militia, connecting it all to the Insurrection Act debate. He digs into Kash Patel's FBI reforms, Biden's defeat in the offshore drilling case, and the Senate Republicans' “nuclear option” confirming 107 Trump nominees. With wit, perspective, and his signature unfiltered delivery, Jon turns the day's biggest stories into smart, engaging analysis.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, what's ​taking ​place ​​in ​these ​blue cities, like Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, ​is ​nothing ​short ​of ​breakaway ​government that defy federal immigration laws and the Constitution. Mayors and governors, such as California's Newsom and Illinois' Pritzker, instruct local police to stand down, allowing riots by illegal aliens, their supporters, Antifa, and other groups to physically attack federal agents like ICE and obstruct deportations of criminals. The Insurrection Act has been used multiple times in our history, since 1808, by Democrat and Republican presidents in cases like this. Not only must law and order be restored, but so, too, must our constitutional system against these new Democrat Confederates. Also, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to discuss his new film, "The Dragon's Prophecy." D'Souza explains that the film counters left-wing cliches about Israel as a colonizer and right-wing critiques by drawing startling parallels between current events—like October 7th and the ongoing war—and ancient Israelite battles in Hebrew scriptures from 3,000 years ago. Later, Gov Greg Abbott joins the show to explains that ​Democrat Governors and Mayors ​support ​illegal aliens ​more ​than ​American ​citizens. They're ​putting ​lives ​at ​risk. He also explains that the world must remember October 7th. Afterward, in the Oval Office today, the President said he never told Benjamin Netanyahu to stop being negative, he's been great. Thus, the reporting by Axios's hitman, Ravid, was false. Will they run a correction? Of course not. Phonies and frauds. Finally, Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears calls in and condemns AG candidate Jay Jones for advocated murder of a former Republican House speaker and his children, then doubled down. Learn more about your ad choices.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover an alarming report on Chinese illegal immigrants working as truck drivers inside the U.S., Beijing's growing cyber warfare networks, Trump's possible use of the Insurrection Act, and global political upheavals from France to Japan, with a surprising touch of good news about whales. From container trucks to coups and conservation, today's brief connects threats on American soil to global movements shaping our future.   Chinese Illegal Truckers on U.S. Roads: A new investigation by the Daily Caller reveals that illegal immigrants from China are now driving trucks across America with commercial licenses obtained through a nonprofit tied to Beijing's United Front Work Department. The organization, CATOU, boasts a 100 percent pass rate for drivers who often cannot read English or road signs. Bryan warns that this, combined with China's control of port cranes and containerized missile systems, creates “an existential threat sitting in plain sight.”   China's SIM Farm Cyber Operation: Law enforcement uncovered 300,000 Chinese-controlled SIM cards in New York capable of sending 30 million texts per minute, enough to crash city networks and emergency systems. The devices were linked to China's intelligence agency, the MSS, which has used similar systems to target U.S. officials and conservative figures. “No more scalpels. Chainsaws only,” Bryan urges, calling for mass visa revocations and deportations.   Trump's Insurrection Act Warning: President Trump hinted he may invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy federal troops in cities like Portland and Chicago, where Democrat officials refuse to protect federal officers. The move recalls Lincoln's 1861 use of the law to quell rebellion. “These are acts of insurrection,” Bryan says, citing violence against ICE agents and the left's normalization of lawlessness.   Global Political Upheaval: France's fifth prime minister in two years resigned after another budget collapse, while populists swept elections in the Czech Republic and Japan shifted right under new conservative leader Sanae Takaichi. Meanwhile, Michael Bloomberg announced a $50 million campaign to “fight populism” by grooming leftist city leaders worldwide.   A Moment of Reflection and Hope: On the anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attacks, Bryan offered prayers for Israeli and Palestinian victims alike, urging peace as Trump's team nears a possible Gaza deal. In Argentina, scientists shared rare good news: the southern right whale population has rebounded to 4,700 and continues to grow. “We celebrate the whales,” Bryan concludes, “and feel bad for the humans who may go extinct if we're not careful.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Chinese illegal immigrants truck drivers, CATOU United Front Work Department, China port cranes container missile system, Daily Caller Chinese CDL investigation, SIM Farm cyber operation MSS New York, Trump Insurrection Act 1807 Portland Chicago, ICE agent attacks sanctuary cities, France government collapse Macron, Czech Republic populist Andrej Babiš, Japan Sanae Takaichi conservative leader, Michael Bloomberg anti-populism funding, Hamas October 7 anniversary Gaza peace deal, Argentina southern right whales population recovery

CannCon and Ghost dive headfirst into a high-octane morning covering FBI corruption, government surveillance, and the unraveling of Chicago's “ice-free zones.” The duo exposes how Jack Smith's Arctic Frost investigation swept up sitting senators, debates AT&T's false data deletion claims, and dissects Israel's Pegasus spyware. They draw parallels between historical CIA operations and modern domestic tactics, connecting the dots between cartels, trafficking, and Marxist infiltration in American institutions. As Trump considers invoking the Insurrection Act to restore law and order, CannCon and Ghost weigh the fine line between national security and authoritarian precedent. The conversation hits on the Chicago gang leader's bounty for ICE agents, FISA court corruption, and Brandon Johnson's escalating defiance against federal law—all with the trademark Badlands mix of humor, candor, and geopolitical fire.

Jon Herold kicks off a busy Tuesday with a mix of real talk and real noise, literally, as home renovations compete with headlines. From Trump's latest executive orders to the explosive new Illinois directive under the Insurrection Act, Herold breaks down how federal forces are stepping in where blue-state governors refuse to act. He dives into the growing Charlie Kirk controversy, with Candace Owens' leaked messages now confirmed as authentic, and calls out the media's selective silence. Then it's back to geopolitics and corruption as Jon exposes Biden's suppressed CIA report on Ukraine and Burisma, showing how the seeds of scandal were planted long before his presidency. Add in the Gaza peace talks, Trump's tireless work ethic, and fresh election integrity revelations, and you've got another sharp, unfiltered Tuesday edition of The Daily Herold.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine return for another wild ride through the week's most explosive conspiracies. From Trump's talk of invoking the Insurrection Act and cracking down on lawless blue states to new developments in the mysterious death of Charlie Kirk, the hosts dissect the narratives, leaks, and logic gaps the media won't touch. They break down ballistic inconsistencies, donor drama, and digital breadcrumbs while debating whether the official story adds up, or if a much deeper cover-up is unfolding. Along the way, they spotlight the latest revelations about FBI surveillance, Israeli data collection, and the growing war between truth-tellers and controlled opposition. With sharp analysis and trademark humor, this episode connects the dots in the chaos, reminding listeners why no conspiracy is ever truly “baseless.”

So, are his actions that of a fascist dictator, like the Left claims?

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica breaks down the Trump administration's move to federalize the National Guard in Oregon amid Portland protests. She explains Oregon's lawsuit against the federal government, outlining key arguments such as the improper use of federal authority, possible violations of the Posse Comitatus Act, and state sovereignty issues. Jessica evaluates each argument's strength, noting that courts usually defer to presidential discretion in these cases. The episode offers a clear overview of the unfolding legal battle and what's at stake for both state and federal powers.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. Federalization of the National Guard in OregonThe episode opens by discussing the Trump administration's decision to federalize the National Guard in Oregon—specifically Portland. This move was made over local objections and parallels previous situations, such as federal intervention during protests in Los Angeles.2. Oregon's Legal Arguments Against FederalizationThe majority of the episode breaks down the legal case Oregon is making in its suit against the federal government.3. Legal Analysis of Oregon's ChancesEach argument is weighed in terms of likely success. The host points out that courts have historically given substantial deference to presidential discretion in these national security and public order matters, making Oregon's position a difficult one.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

President Trump's pressure campaign to take action against perceived adversaries is unrelenting. Mary and Andrew start this week by breaking down a public push for Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Trump's political foes, just as Virginia's U.S. Attorney was ousted for failing to bring charges against Letitia James and Jim Comey. The focus then turns to the government's attempt to control critics and silence opposition after last week's abrupt suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, backed by FCC Chair Brendan Carr, as well as what the president designating ANTIFA as a “terrorist organization” actually means. On the flip side comes the effort to dismiss investigations into those aligned with Trump's cause. See MSNBC's reporting on the FBI bribery investigation into “Border Czar” Tom Homan that was shut down after Trump returned to office. And last up: Mary shares the reasoning behind a court's decision to block the removal of dozens of Guatemalan children, citing that the governments explanation "crumbled like a house of cards.”  And a reminder: There are still tickets available for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Last week's fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk was deeply disturbing, and as Andrew establishes at the start, “murder is murder” and those responsible must be held to account. So Mary and Andrew begin with where the investigation stands and how the FBI has handled the case, as well as the lawsuit filed against FBI Director Kash Patel over alleged politically motivated firings at the Bureau. Then, co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, Ryan Goodman stops in to share his research around the end of “the presumption of regularity” in the Trump era, amid growing frustration from many lower courts. And lastly, Andrew and Mary dig into the latest twists and turns in the President's attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook.A note to listeners: After today's recording, Tyler Robinson was charged with felony aggravated murder, among other charges.Further reading:  Here is Ryan Goodman's research in Just Security: The “Presumption of Regularity” in Trump Administration LitigationAnd a reminder: There are still tickets available for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Would our troops be used to quell demonstrations in the United States with force? Seeing crowds in Washington, D.C., during the George Floyd riots in 2020, Trump is reported to have asked "Can't we just shoot them?"  How do we answer the question as to whether the current administration will have U.S. troops fire on the crowds? We will look at the Constitution, especially the 10th Amendment, the Insurrection Act of 1807, and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. We will review some history where the military has been used domestically to safeguard civil rights marchers, intervene when requested by governors during violent riots, to stop the Bonus March on Washington in 1932, and to imprison Japanese civilians during World War II. We will also define who is in today's military, where do they come from, how do they line up politically—and would they follow an illegal order and fire on unarmed civilian demonstrators or support a government coup? This is concerning, says Dr. Michael Baker, given the militarization of ICE agents and the deployment of National Guard troops and the Marines to Los Angeles for specious reasons. About the Speaker Dr. Michael Baker recently retired from a 40-year career in general, vascular and trauma surgery.

This episode begins with Mary and Andrew digesting the 2-1 decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals halting the Trump administration's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals accused of being members of Tren de Aragua. Andrew calls the administration's recent arguments “outlandish” before moving to the questionable legality of the U.S. military's deadly boat strike last week – an unprecedented action which left eleven dead. Next, they move to Monday's Supreme Court decision undoing limits set by a lower court on how ICE conducts immigration raids. Plus, a federal judge issues a win for Harvard University on the topic of frozen and terminated funds. Further reading:  The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling on Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport VenezuelansAnd a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

After a Labor Day weekend that saw a judge halt the Trump administration's attempt to deport dozens of Guatemalan children already loaded onto airplanes, Andrew and Mary had planned to start their conversation there. But just this morning, Judge Charles Breyer ruled the administration cannot deploy U.S. military to carry out law enforcement operations, as this violates the Posse Comitatus Act. Andrew and Mary provide historical context for the act and walk us through the rationale of this latest ruling. Then, they take a beat on moves to oust two more Trump appointed U.S. Attorneys in California and Nevada who have yet to be congressionally approved. And last up, they review several big cases on tariffs, Lisa Cook, and cuts to foreign aid.Further reading:  Here is Judge Thomas T.
