Another whirlwird week of controversies that exceeded our bandwidth to keep up (or at least to compress into an hour), but John Yoo, this week's host, leads us in revisiting the question of "birthright citizenship" under the 14th Amendment, which the Supreme Court has rather unusually agreed to take up in May—surprisingly late for such and important oral argument. We take note of the growing number of scholars who think the current conventional wisdom is not a slam dunk at all! Apparently at least four Juctices agree.From there we discuss whether Trump's attack on Harvard is correctly calibrated, with Steve, in a rare moment, being more extreme than Lucretia on this issue. The Harvard controversy elides into a discussion of whether conservatives ought to be openly emulating the deep political strategy of Antonio Gramsci, as the Wall Street Journal pondered on Thursday. There is a lot of dissent on this point from "Vichy conservatives" who seem willing to continue losing slowly to the left.Finally, John can't help himself, and baits Steve and Lucretia on whether, on this 250th anniversary of the "shots heard round the world" at Lexington and Concord this week in 1775 really justified revolution against British rule. Lucretia makes quick work of this provocation, and a hush fell over the virtual studio.

John Yoo is back this week, bringing the 3WHH up to full strength again after last week’s astonishingly congenial episode, which can mean only one thing—not even high tariffs, which this week’s host (Steve) vainly tried to impose on ths discussion—could stop a vigorous free trade in ideas. After our discussion of where the tariff […]

John Yoo is back this week, bringing the 3WHH up to full strength again after last week's astonishingly congenial episode, which can mean only one thing—not even high tariffs, which this week's host (Steve) vainly tried to impose on ths discussion—could stop a vigorous free trade in ideas. After our discussion of where the tariff matter stands as of the end of this week, we turn our focus to the week's continuing legal and constitutional developments of the Trump juggernaut, most especially his heretofore neglected instruction to regulatory agencies to review and eliminate any and all rules and regulations that might now be considered unconstitutional in light of several Supreme Court opinions over the last few years that have started to curtail the reach and power of the administrative state. Finally, we try out a slightly new ending for this episode, with topical exit music designed in part to annoy Lucretia. Mission accomplished!

Welcome to the new and improved Law Talk podcast, featuring host Charles C.W. Cooke! He joins legal heavyweights Richard Epstein and John Yoo for yet another spirited discussion of the latest legal controversies. They begin with the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, debating the constitutional limits of executive power and the justiciability of national emergencies. They then tackle Trump's lawsuits against law firms and the implications for the right to counsel and legal free speech. Later, they explore the administration's aggressive tariff strategy under IEPA, and the deportation of an anti-Israel protester, Mahmoud Khalil, and the proposed federal oversight of Columbia University through a consent decree.

The 3WHH crew is down a glass this week because John Yoo is down with a bug and unable to join us—or was he afraid of subjecting himself to Lucretia, host for this week's episode. With fear, trembling, and trepidation Steve barved the peril with all the aplomb of the Black Knight in Monty Python, and yet by the end of this episode still ahd all four limbs attached! Lucretia's fancy whisky must have mellowed her, as this surprisingly convivial episode found remarkable harmony about the defects of the Democrat-media complex, and why it is just as debilitating to Democrats' fortunes as the state of California is. Also, was Obama overrated, underated, or just lucky?There was some divergence about tariffs, and we bet listeners can guess about how this split played out. And if you can't guess, then there's only one way to end the suspense.

President Trump's executive actions are being blocked left, right, and center by federal courts issuing nationwide injunctions – or orders for the government to halt a given policy that judges deem unlawful. However, the constitutionality of these national injunctions is up for debate. Should the Supreme Court decide that judicial policy pronouncements are indeed unconstitutional, […]

President Trump's executive actions are being blocked left, right, and center by federal courts issuing nationwide injunctions – or orders for the government to halt a given policy that judges deem unlawful. However, the constitutionality of these national injunctions is up for debate. Should the Supreme Court decide that judicial policy pronouncements are indeed unconstitutional, what will that mean for Executive power? Could it mean that Congress will need to resume doing the work it has shirked for years? And what will it mean for the Trump agenda?John Yoo is the Emanuel Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Senior Research Fellow at the Civitas Institute, and a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution and Stanford University. Yoo was a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the general council of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the former head of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department. His most recent book is The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Supreme Court (Regnery, 2023) with Robert Delahunty.Read the transcript here. Subscribe to our Substack here.

It's legal funtime hour with John Yoo calling in from the always optimistic Golden State. He, James and Charlie dig into the issues at root of the deportation fights between the executive and judicial branches. Considering everything from foreign thugs to Charlie's seditious past and our missed opportunity to conquer France in the early days of the Republic, the fellas turn up what powers they can for the president's effort to toss out the bad guys. Plus, Charlie bursts John's bubble about Ezra Klein's "new" pitch for abundance; James squints at the Ghibli Twitter takeover; and the gang is a bit puzzled by much of the Signalgate reaction. Sound clip from this week's open: National Security Advisor Michael Waltz talks the Signal snafu on Fox News while DNI Tulsi Gabbard gets grilled by Sen. Mark Warner (D - VA) in committee.

Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are back on Earth after spending nine months on the International Space Station, a big change from their initial mission that was only supposed to last eight days. Their replacement crew arrived last week, and they landed back on our planet on Tuesday following a 17-hour ride. Although they are home safe and sound, Williams and Wilmore have a long rehabilitation process ahead. Retired NASA astronaut Clayton "AstroClay" Anderson joins the Rundown to describe the return process for spacemen and what the road ahead looks like. President Trump has invoked the Alien and Sedition Acts, an 18th-century wartime law, to deport illegal immigrants believed to be part of Tren de Aragua, a dangerous Venezuelan prison gang. The law gives the President the authority to deport foreign nationals during wartime, and the deportation of several Venezuelans is already facing legal challenges from federal courts. Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General and UC Berkeley law professor John Yoo joins the podcast to explain the argument that the Trump administration will make in court for their use of this wartime act to deport violent criminals.

1 - District judges don't get to dictate what the President can and can't do what they think is best for the country! 105 - Brandon Graham retired yesterday and we commend and celebrate his career, going from a bust in many eyes to an all-time Eagle. How did he change the tide of public opinion? 120 - We return to a story where middle school girls were forced to change with a transgender student and were reprimanded by the principal for not wanting to. Now we have a local Democrat saying the whole story is fabricated! Can Tim Walz kick your ass? 130 - John Yoo, Emmanuel Heller Professor of Law at Cal-Berkley, joins the program today to discuss Trump's fight against district judges who look to shoot down his deportation mandates, among other things. Is it good for Trump to squabble with these local district judges? John notes how Trump hasn't created a lot of these ideas he has put out there recently regarding the executive branch, and how if raised against the Supreme Court, it would go in Trump's favor. Are two of the justices leaning more liberal on this issue? 150 - Your calls to round out the hour.

12 - Democrat derangement is in full swing as Musk-opposers are doxxing Tesla owners, lighting Teslas on fire, and are still delusional that they're talking about how if Democrats show and vote, they'll win! Which by the numbers, isn't even true! 1205 - Musk got our astronauts home safely, but now is the media trying to spin it that they weren't stranded up there? 1215 - Journalist Bill O'Reilly joins us today after the JFK assassination files were finally released in their entirety. What stood out to Bill from these files? What shocked Bill about the CIA's coverage of Lee Harvey Oswald? Uh oh, is Bill a part of the conspiracy? Are these findings disappointing? Where can we see Bill's new show “Three Americans”? 1235 - NJ Senator Holly Schepisi joins the show today to discuss her proposal to rid the state of a questionnaire for newborns that ask for a baby's gender preference and sexual orientation. How did this even get passed into law? What is this comparable to in the state school system? Are NJ Democrats that clueless that they're the ones in power and that it's their policies that hurt the state? What is to be done about exorbitant spending by Rutgers University on student-athlete food on the taxpayers dime? 1250 - Some breaking news regarding a police involved shooting in South Philadelphia. 1 - District judges don't get to dictate what the President can and can't do what they think is best for the country! 105 - Brandon Graham retired yesterday and we commend and celebrate his career, going from a bust in many eyes to an all-time Eagle.

What was it like having Lia as a teammate? Why was the University of Penn so silent on the matter, was it cowardice or fear of retaliation? People forget about the climate in 2020 and 2021 where people would get fired from their job for expressing their opinion! They need Paula up on this stage at this event to talk about what she and Scott Presler are doing! 215 - Dom's Money Melody! 225 - Should school start later because they are sleep deprived and therefore affects their learning? 240 - Your calls regarding the start of school. 250 - The Lightning Round!

The only truly functioning high-speed rail in America today is the Trump Train, and not even the prospect of a 200% tariff on the core commodity of this podcast—single malt scotch whiskies—can dampen the 180-proof spirits of Lucretia, host of this week's episode.But we still manage to get in some disagreements about how to understand what is going on, especially with the Ukraine War endgame. In fact, we got John Yoo to out himself as the OGNC ("original gangsta neo-con") on the question of whether American foreign policy has been overly dominated by Wilsonian internationalism for the last century, or whether it has been more realist. John was responding to my two Substack articles (here and here) on different aspects how idealism and realism play out in the Ukraine matter, disliking both. Lucretia responded with a great harumph.There was much less harumphing and more huzzahing for the humiliation and confusion of the Democrats this week, culminating in the Dem surrender over the budget continuing resolution. About the confusion of federal judges (this is putting the matter charitably) trying to block some of Trump's moves, John sees hope for optimism that these roadblocks will be overcome, while debunking the claim that Trump is causing a "constitutional crisis." (Link coming when his latest article goes live.) Steve merely longs for the good old days of Watergate.

The whole gang is finally back together behind the bar this week, with John Yoo in the host chair skillfully leading our unruly gang in a round-robin three-subject format that we’re alternating this year.

The whole gang is finally back together behind the bar this week, with John Yoo in the host chair skillfully leading our unruly gang in a round-robin three-subject format that we're alternating this year.Steve leads off wondering if Gavin Newsom, and Senate Democrats, are at last having their "Sister Souljah" moment about the transgender millstone around their neck, though Steve points out that Democrats will have great difficulty pulling this off, and lays down two additional markers to judge whether Democrats will really make a serious move to the center. The underlying thesis is that the success of a political realignment is not merely changing your own party and assembling a new majority coalition, as Trump has largely accomplished, but the extent to which it compels the opposition party to change some of its core positions, as Democrats had to do after three landslide losses to Reagan and Bush in the 1980s, and the Labour Party had to do after Thatcher kept crushing them in England at the same time.Lucretia then flags for us James Piereson's New Criterion article out Friday, "Too Many Democrats," and discuss whether faithfulness to the original intent of the Pendleton Act that set up a supposedly "neutral" civil service requires mass firings of Democrats in the bureaucracy, as well as voters waking up to the destructive incompetence of Democrat-run cities. And this leads to John's closing segment, drawing on his Fox News article up this morning, "Supreme Court's USAID move has a surprise benefit for Trump," in which ahe argues the Supreme Court's ruling mid-week on disbursement of AID funds was not the defeat people first thought. And we also debate just how to think about Justice Amy Coney Barrett's concurrence in this decision, about which our gang is divided.

Google AI: Shame and rage are often interconnected, with many people experiencing intense anger as a defense mechanism against feelings of shame, essentially using rage to mask or deflect the painful experience of feeling inadequate or worthless; this can create a cycle where experiencing shame triggers anger, which can then further exacerbate feelings of shame if expressed in destructive ways. Key points about the relationship between shame and rage: Defensive mechanism: When someone feels deeply ashamed, they may turn to anger as a way to protect themselves from the vulnerability and pain associated with shame, often projecting these feelings onto others. "Shame-rage cycle": This describes the dynamic where experiencing shame can lead to a burst of anger, which can then further fuel feelings of shame if the anger is expressed in a way that is self-destructive or damaging to relationships. Underlying feelings of powerlessness: Shame can often be associated with feeling small, powerless, or defective, which can trigger a desire to lash out with anger to regain a sense of control. Impact of childhood experiences: Individuals who experienced significant criticism or abuse during childhood may be particularly prone to experiencing a strong link between shame and rage, as they may have learned to use anger as a coping mechanism for deeply ingrained feelings of inadequacy. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2012/09/12/niall-ferguson-the-john-yoo-line-and-the-paradox-of-influence/ Andrew Gelman: "Life is continuous but we think in discrete terms. In applied statistics there's the p=.05 line which tells us whether a finding is significant or not. Baseball has the Mendoza line. And academia has what might be called the John Yoo line: the point at which nothing you write gets taken seriously, and so you might as well become a hack because you have no scholarly reputation remaining. John Yoo, of course, became a hack because, I assume, he had nothing left to lose. In contrast, historian Niall Ferguson has reportedly been moved to hackery because he has so much to gain."

In Hong Kong, he hustled and often slept overnight on a table in a clothing factory where he did odd jobs. At twenty-one, he was running a factory. By his mid-twenties, he owned one and was supplying sweaters and shirts to some of the biggest brands in the United States, from Polo to The Limited. His ideas about retail led him to create Giordano in 1981, and with it "fast fashion." A restless entrepreneur, as Giordano prepared to go public, he was thinking about a dining concept that would disrupt Hong Kong's fast-food industry. But then came Tiananmen Square democracy protest and the massacre of 1989. 1115-1130 2/4: The Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong's Greatest Dissident, and China's Most Feared Critic by Mark L.

John Yoo is away this week, so the 3WHH has brought in a 180-proof guest in John's place—the great Richard Epstein, who speaks at an average rate of 125 words a minute, with occasional gusts of 200 words per minute. We discuss two of his many extraordinary books, the first being his 1992 title Forbidden Grounds: The Case Against Employment Discrimination Laws, which is newly salient in the aftermath of recent Supreme Court decisions like the Harvard/UNC case. Is it time to repeal (or substantially amend) the Civil Rights Act of 1964?In part two of our conversation, which we will release midweek, we take up his shorter book How Progressives Rewrote the Constitution (only 137 pages, which is Richard writes before breakfast most days). While Lucretia and I concentrate on large philosophical currents that drove the progressive counter-revolution against the American Founding, Richard lays out some of the specific step-by-step erosions of the rule of law that are central to the saga.But as Lucretia and I began our taping mid-day Friday we caught the news that the newest front in the Ukraine-Russia War had suddenly broken out in . . . the Oval Office, so we share a few preliminary thoughts on what it all means.

Our long-running intramural argument on this podcast over the Ukraine War has become just like the Ukraine War itself—lots of casualties on both sides, but very little movement from week to week. But is Trump actually on the cusp of a breakout? There's one thing Trump did this week that is surely causing Putin to wipe the smile off his face, and no one seems to have figured it out. It's all part of Trump's Great Reset. There is more unanimity amongst the 3WHH bartenders about Gaza, and once again Trump's seemingly outrageous or whimsical ideas of making Gaza into Atlantic City doesn't just move the Overton Window in the Middle East—it remodels the whole structure. Forget the two-state solution.Finally, we have a moment of silence for the passing of the inventor of the McRib and chicken nuggets. John Yoo is going into 40 days of mourning.

Despite the kerfuffle that President Trump is initiating a Constitutional crisis, the confusion and frustration surrounding his executive actions fit within a fairly common modern trend: Congress's institutional inaction leaves a power vacuum which the president sets out to fill. In anticipation of the Supreme Court weighing in, Henry sits down with the inestimable John […]

WHICH OF TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS WILL STAND? Pretty much everything that Trump is doing right now is going to be challenged in court. Though the President clearly has the right to issue Executive Orders, is he addressing things that aren't in his chain of command? I've got Constitutional scholar John Yoo on today to talk about it.
