Podcast appearances and mentions of Samuel Alito

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the events surrounding the attempted takeover of the FlyDubai airliner were nothing short of incredible. What stands out is the extraordinary heroism displayed by everyone involved: the pilot who fought for his life while still managing to save the aircraft, the passengers who helped subdue the co-pilot, and the civilians and crew who pulled the plane out of a terrifying nosedive. Meanwhile, the broader threat from Iran remains the central issue.  While economic pressure and strikes against nuclear facilities have weakened the regime, the only lasting way to stop its nuclear ambitions and global terrorist activities is to remove the regime itself and support those inside Iran who are rising up against it. The war against Iran was never about the Strait of Hormuz. Later, Mark sat down for a Life, Liberty and Levin interview with Justice Samuel Alito, where they discussed his book and a wide range of topics, including originalism, textualism, the Constitution, Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address, judicial review, and the role of judges. Rather than focusing on politics or controversy, the conversation explored his ideas, personal background, Italian heritage, love of baseball, military service, and the influence of his parents. Afterward, Sean Hannity calls in and urges people across the country to understand the urgency of this moment, get involved and vote! We are facing a radical and extreme movement that openly lays out its agenda, while many elected Democrats refuse to challenge it because they fear political consequences. This is a clear choice between preserving our Constitution, our way of life, and the principles the country was built on, or embracing policies such as higher taxes, open borders, government expansion, court-packing, and other sweeping changes.  Also, Sen Ashley Moody joins the show and explains that this is a critical election not only for Florida but for the nation. We are facing candidates who openly identify as socialists and promote ideas that challenge the country's founding principles. Finally, Rep Chip Roy calls in and says we must come together around the principles we share, including faith, the Constitution, limited government, opportunity, and a love for America, even when we disagree on other issues. The greatest challenge is electorally defeating those who seek to undermine those values. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Can cities and counties sue oil companies for global climate change? The Supreme Court is starting a new term with case asking that question, Suncor v. Boulder County. Alas, Justice Samuel Alito now says he'll recuse, which could lead to a 4-4 split. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

In a recent editorial, the Wall Street Journal's editorial board sounded the alarm on a potential deadlock on the Supreme Court, which could have far-reaching implications for climate lawfare. This episode, we dive into the details of the case and explore the motivations behind Justice Alito's decision to recuse himself. Our guest, Jack Butler, deputy editor of the Wall Street Journal, joins us to break down the complexities of the case and offer insights into the potential consequences of this decision. The Supreme Court case in question involves Suncor Energy versus Boulder County, a dispute over oil and gas production that has significant implications for climate lawfare. With Justice Alito recusing himself, the court is left with a 4-4 deadlock, which could lead to a decision that undermines the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling. Jack Butler shares his expertise on the matter, explaining the potential consequences of this decision and why it's a concerning development for those who value the rule of law. But that's not all - this episode also explores the fascinating topic of masculinity in politics. Jack Butler's new column, "Democrats' Testosterone Theater," examines how some leading Democratic candidates are projecting a masculine, tough-guy persona to win over voters. However, as Jack points out, this posturing often falls flat when scrutinized, and the candidates' actions don't quite match their words. Tune in to this episode to hear Jack Butler's insightful analysis of the Supreme Court case and the curious case of masculinity in politics. He'll also discuss the implications of these developments for the country and the future of the judiciary. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that's sure to leave you with a deeper understanding of the issues at play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Tuesday, September 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Chinese communists shut down churches while Jin ping in America While Chinese President Xi Jinping was visiting the United States, Communist police were still arresting pastors and shutting down churches in China. Pastors and church workers from Jiaquan Church in Beijing have been arrested in raids occurring over the last week.  This follows another mass arrest of more members of the Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu in southwestern China. Send a polite, 4-sentence letter to the Chinese Ambassador to America, Xie Feng, urging him to tell the Communist party officials to stop arresting pastors and shutting down churches. Send it to the Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington, DC 20008. Supreme Court continues to affirm parental rights Over the past year, parental rights advocates are winning cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. By law, the state of California was requiring school officials to conceal information concerning children's gender transitioning behavior from their parents.  Thankfully, the high court struct down the law earlier in the year.  In a separate ruling last June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down another Maryland law that prohibited parents from opting their kids out of homosexual/transgender indoctrination classes, reported CBS News. Writing the majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito argued on the basis of religious rights. He wrote, “A government burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires them to submit their children to instruction that poses ‘a very real threat of undermining' the religious beliefs and practices that the parents wish to instill.” Ebola virus killed 4,000 people in Congo The World Health Organization reports 8,000 cases of Ebola in the latest outbreak in Congo, Africa — and now, almost 4,000 deaths. This is the worst outbreak of this deadly disease since 2013.  Mortgage rates at 7.5% The U.S. 30-year mortgage rate hit 7.5% yesterday, reports Mortgage News Daily.  That's the highest rate since December 2000.  Trump criticized United Nations President Donald Trump took to the stage at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week, heavily criticizing the organization, but also praising it in some aspects as well. Trump stated, “There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.” He added that the United States “totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control artificial intelligence.”  The president also said, “The United Nations has great, great potential” and he encouraged the U.S. Ambassador to the UN “to implement the most sweeping UN reforms in history.” Canadian doctors kill more people than American murderers do Canada now kills more people by "assisted suicide" than the United States does by homicide. United States Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah detailed this fact in a now viral post on X, stating, “State-administered death is now more common in Canada than gun homicide is in the U.S.  That didn't happen by accident.” He also said, “The intersection of assisted suicide and socialized medicine results in state-led horrors, treating the young, old, infirm, and distressed as disposable people. We must never allow this barbarity to spread in America.” Jeremiah 8:3 gives a stark warning. The Lord of hosts said, “Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them.” Gen Z more religious than older generations A new update from the Harris Report revealed that Gen Z is more religious than older generations. Per the report, “Gen Z is not abandoning faith, they are the generation most likely to identify as religious. Gen Z is not just identifying with faith, they are actively practicing it. For Gen Z, spirituality is one way to build agency in an uncertain future.” However, many in Gen Z continue to observe harmful religious practices, and dabble with the occult and manifestations.  Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Planned Parenthood gave Joe Biden their baby killing award And finally, abortion giant Planned Parenthood handed out its 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award to former President Joe Biden, one of the biggest supporters of abortion in United States history, reported LifeNews. Biden recalled his historic murderous work. Referring to Sonny Sloan, the late president of Delaware's Planned Parenthood, Biden said this. BIDEN: “In the wake of the Dobbs decision, as president, I tried to do what I knew Sonny would have been on the phone telling me to do. We took action. We signed executive orders to protect access to reproductive health care, including emergency medical care.”  Since former President Biden is quite difficult to understand, this is what he said. “In the wake of the Dobbs decision, as president, I tried to do what I knew Sonny would have been on the phone telling me to do. We took action. We signed executive orders to protect access to reproductive health care, including emergency medical care.”  (Watch the soundbite at the 17:07-mark in this video of Biden's speech) Steven Ertelt of LifeNews explained, “The abortion business killed a record number of babies in abortions last year thanks to Biden's help with tax funding and pro-abortion executive orders.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 29th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

In Louisiana v. Callais, a divided Supreme Court narrowed the circumstances in which states may use race as a factor in drawing election districts. The Court, in an opinion authored by Justice Alito, held that compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act can justify the use of race in redistricting only when the circumstances give rise to a strong inference that the State intentionally denied minority voters an equal opportunity to elect their preferred candidates because of race. Justice Kagan penned a dissent, which argued that the majority opinion “renders Section 2 all but a dead letter.”Callais has already begun to shape litigation elsewhere. A pending federal complaint against the Denver Public School Board alleges that the board violated Section 2 and the Fifteenth Amendment by deliberately redrawing two of its seven districts to preserve Black and Hispanic electoral majorities, with board members explaining the effort in terms of ensuring that students are “represented by people who look like them.” Supporters of the board’s decision argue that shared racial background should be a meaningful consideration in political representation. Critics counter that this reasoning revives the same race-based logic the Constitution forbids, and that voters and candidates should be evaluated as individuals rather than as members of racial groups.Callais has also shaped important policy decisions. In June, the Office of Legal Counsel relied on Callais to conclude that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Title VII guidelines were unconstitutional because they contemplated liability based on disparate effects alone, without regard to an employer’s likely intent, and pressured employers to engage in race-based decision making.Join us for a webinar examining the downstream effects of the Callais decision and what it may mean for redistricting disputes like the Denver case and others like it.Featuring: Michael A.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Creates the U.S. ArmyOn September 29, 1789—the very last day of the First Congress's inaugural session—the House and Senate passed the act that formally established the United States Army under the new Constitution. President Washington had pressed hard for it, reminding Congress that the militia provisions inherited from the Articles of Confederation were inadequate and that the nation needed a standing military establishment placed on a proper constitutional footing.The legal significance lies less in the creation of a fighting force than in how that force was subordinated. The Constitution had already divided military power deliberately: Congress alone can raise and fund armies and declare war, while the President serves as Commander-in-Chief. The 1789 Act operationalized that division, embedding the bedrock American principle of civilian control of the military—that the armed forces answer to elected civilian authority and operate within, not above, the rule of law. The Framers were deeply wary of standing armies and concentrated power; their answer was not to forbid a military, but to fracture control over it between the branches so no single actor could wield it unchecked.The significance of September 29, 1789 is that principle—power channeled through congressional authorization and constitutional limits rather than executive will alone. And that is precisely the thread running through our lead story today: a dispute over whether the executive branch can wield federal money as a lever to force its policy preferences on the states, or whether it may only do what Congress has actually authorized. The names change over 237 years; the fundamental question—who gets to exercise power, and with whose permission—does not.A federal judge has blocked the administration from tying federal counterterrorism grants to whether states adopt its preferred election-administration changes—the latest in a long string of election-related defeats we've tracked this month. Here's what the administration did: the Department of Homeland Security announced it would withhold 20% of funding under grant programs meant to help state and local governments prepare for terrorist attacks and other threats, unless those governments adopted election measures the administration favored. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, in a 24-page opinion, sided with counties and cities in Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee that sued, holding that federal agencies simply lacked authority from Congress to attach those conditions to the grants. Let me put this in its constitutional frame, because it's a classic. The federal government routinely attaches strings to the money it gives states—that's the spending power, and it's legitimate within limits. But the Supreme Court set boundaries in cases like South Dakota v. Dole and, more forcefully, in the NFIB v. Sebelius healthcare decision: conditions must be clearly stated, must relate to the purpose of the funding, and can't be so coercive that they amount to a “gun to the head.” Conditioning anti-terrorism preparedness money on unrelated election changes runs into two of those problems at once—the germaneness requirement, since election administration has nothing to do with counterterrorism, and the basic separation-of-powers point that an agency can't invent conditions Congress never authorized. That last point is what Judge Ali hung his ruling on, and it's the same principle that decided the homelessness and mail-ballot cases: agencies have only the power Congress gives them. The significance is that this is now a consistent, rulings-deep pattern—court after court telling the executive it cannot use funding leverage, or agency fiat, to seize control over how states run their elections. On the anniversary of a law about channeling power through congressional authorization, it's a fitting rebuke.Judge blocks Trump from tying anti-terrorism grants to election changes | Reuters · PBS News · US NewsIn a notable reversal, Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate-change case the Supreme Court is set to hear next week—and the move opens up real questions about both judicial ethics and the case's outcome. The case involves Boulder, Colorado, and its county, which sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy seeking damages for the local harms of climate change; it's set for argument October 5. Environmental groups had pushed for Alito to step aside because he owns stock in oil-and-gas companies—ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66, among others—that, while not parties to this particular suit, plainly have interests riding on how the Court treats climate liability. Here's why the reversal is striking. Back in May, a Court spokeswoman said Alito would not recuse, on the theory that he had no financial interest in any actual party to the case. Now he's stepping aside anyway. This goes to the heart of the judicial-ethics debate that has dogged the Court: federal law, 28 U.S.C. § 455, requires a judge to disqualify when their impartiality might reasonably be questioned or when they have a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy—and Supreme Court justices, unlike lower-court judges, have historically decided their own recusal questions with no review and little explanation. Alito's flip suggests the pressure and scrutiny over the Court's ethics, which produced its first-ever formal code of conduct in 2023, is having an effect. And there's a concrete consequence: with only eight justices participating, the case could end in a 4-4 tie—which would leave the lower-court ruling in place without setting any national precedent. The significance is that it's a small but real sign of the Court responding to ethics scrutiny, and a reminder that in the climate-liability wars, procedural moves like a single recusal can matter as much as the merits.US Supreme Court's Alito won't participate in climate case involving oil companies | Reuters · CNBC · NBC NewsAnd finally, Florida has asked a court to bar OpenAI from developing new AI models without outside oversight—an extraordinary requested remedy that, if granted, would be one of the most aggressive judicial interventions into AI development we've seen. This is part of a lawsuit Florida's attorney general, James Uthmeier, filed in June, accusing OpenAI of misrepresenting ChatGPT's safety and of harming children—the complaint alleges the platform provided information to school shooters, offered guidance on self-harm, and was designed to addict young users. In Monday's filing, Florida escalated the requested relief dramatically: it asked the court to prohibit OpenAI from developing new models without external oversight, to order the company to keep minors off ChatGPT entirely, and to bar it from giving the chatbot “human attributes.” Let me unpack why that's such a big ask. Courts issue injunctions all the time, but a prohibitory injunction against building new products—essentially putting a court-supervised brake on a technology company's core R&D—is a remarkable expansion of the injunctive remedies we've discussed in the teen-harms cases. It raises hard questions about how far a court's equitable power can reach into ongoing innovation, and whether such sweeping prior restraint on development is even administrable. Notably, OpenAI says it has already paused training its most capable models and won't resume until additional safeguards are in place—which both undercuts the urgency Florida claims and signals the company sees the writing on the wall. Florida is the first state AG to sue OpenAI over harms to young users, though the company faces individual and family suits too, including ones tied to self-harm. And this connects to a huge thread we've followed all month—the Harvey guardrails acquisition, the ChatGPT-fabricated testimony, California's Adam's Law. The significance is that the legal system is now being asked not just to punish AI harms after the fact, but to preemptively supervise how these models get built—a genuine frontier for the law, and one courts will approach with real caution.Florida asks court to bar OpenAI from developing new models as part of child harm lawsuit | Reuters · US News · Lawyer Monthly This is a public episode.

Bill Scher of the Washington Monthly joins Matt Robison to argue about the three stories driving the 2026 midterms: what campaign spending actually reveals about the battlefield, whether the Supreme Court is breaking the republic or quietly saving it, and what happens when the White House bans three news organizations and the networks respond by turning the cameras off. Republicans have booked more than $110 million in ads since August 1 in House districts Trump won by double digits — while cutting money out of Senate races they trail by eight points. Bill reads that as a party bracing for a blue wave. Matt argues most published spending numbers are misleading until you know whether the money is candidate money or super PAC money, because candidate dollars buy roughly three times the airtime.Bill Scher, “If You Don't Like Polls, Follow the Money” — https://washingtonmonthly.com/2026/09/22/if-you-dont-like-polls-follow-the-money/Bill Scher, “The Supreme Court Still Works as the Founders Intended” — https://washingtonmonthly.com/2026/09/18/supreme-court-founders-lifetime-appointments/Bill Scher, “Will It Be a Blue Wave?” — https://washingtonmonthly.com/2026/09/09/will-it-be-a-blue-wave/Matt Robison, “Eight Weeks of Money Headlines Are Coming.

Another U.S. Supreme Court justice is in Utah today -- the second one in just a few weeks. That feels pretty different! But what makes today's visit even more unique is why it's happening. Justice Samuel Alito is in town today to celebrate the recent appointment of one of the new justices on the Utah Supreme Court, Justice Jay Jorgensen.

Eight weeks out from the midterms, Republican strategist Matt Wylie says his own party is in serious trouble. The Fed defied Trump, the courts blocked him twice, and House Republicans went home for six weeks rather than take a vote. And all the polling is getting worse for the GOP.This week on Political Rehab, our mashup of PTI and The Daily Show: Kevin Warsh — Trump's handpicked Fed chair — led a unanimous quarter-point rate hike, the first increase in three years, after Trump spent a year demanding cuts. A federal judge blocked Trump's name from the Kennedy Center and the Supreme Court blocked his mail-in voting restrictions for November.

SCOTUS just blocked Donald Trump's attempt to use the U.S. Postal Service to interfere with mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms — but is the fight over election integrity really over? Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down the ruling, the dissents from Alito and Thomas, and why Mike Johnson could try to pull a "January 3rd" power grab reminiscent of January 6th. Then: a viral photo from a UT Austin football game reignites controversy over white nationalism in the GOP. Brad and Dan connect the dots between Bo French, the True Texas Project, Christian nationalist pastor CJ Engel, and a pattern of Nazi-adjacent scandals rocking Republican campaigns this week — from a Senate staffer's Nazi military exercises to congressional candidates with white nationalist ties.

The Supreme Court keeps the Postal Service's mail ballot rule on hold through the midterms, with Thomas and Alito still on board (because of course) and a whistleblower alleging the USPS built the system anyway. Jared predicts November is headed for a mess no matter what the courts say. Speaking of a mess, Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate looking a lot like Grandpa at the dinner table in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which Jared and Nick see as proof of a machine that grinds the humanity out of everyone who serves it. A new report that JD Vance tried to advise the Clinton campaign in 2016 shows exactly who he is: a striver (on a couch) with no principles who could just as easily have ended up a Democrat, and Hillary's own 9/11 essay in The Atlantic proves the striver class is bipartisan (good times). In What We're Watching, Nick catches The Odyssey a second time to get ready for his trip, and Jared is slowly working through For Whom the Bell Tolls and finally watched season one of The Rehearsal. Nick is off to Greece for two weeks, so Jared will hold down the fort until he's back in October.

Nate Persily joins Pam Karlan to discuss efforts to change the rules governing the 2026 elections and the legal battles over how those changes would affect voting. ---As the push to build more infrastructure gains attention, so does debate over the role of environmental protections and public participation. How can communities have a voice in development while still allowing needed projects to move forward?As the 2026 elections approach, questions about how Americans vote are increasingly becoming questions for the courts. Disputes over redistricting, mail-in voting, and how elections are run are raising broader questions about tensions between states and a federal government for control over who sets the rules and when they can be changed. Stanford's Nate Persily, JD '98, a leading expert on election law, joins Pam Karlan to discuss the legal and constitutional questions surrounding elections. Persily and Karlan discuss Missouri's effort to redraw its congressional districts in the middle of an election cycle, the current administration's efforts to change mail voting rules through the U.S. Postal Service, and the Supreme Court's handling of election disputes. They also look ahead to the 2030 census, including questions about citizenship and who should be counted, and consider the broader consequences when election rules remain unsettled as voting gets underway.Links:Nate Persily >>> Stanford Law School pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>> Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageDiego Zambrano >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00) Introduction(00:01:53) Setting up today's two topics(00:02:21) Missouri's redistricting battle explained(00:03:49) The Supreme Court sides with the Missouri Supreme Court(00:04:42) Two separate Supreme Court interventions(00:06:37) Why this moment is unprecedented(00:08:54) The rise of one-party congressional delegations(00:11:54) Is there a way out?(00:12:47) A preview: the 2030 census fight(00:16:25) Shifting to how Americans actually vote(00:18:00) Trump's executive order on mail voting(00:19:51) The Postal Service's ballot-matching portal(00:21:37) Envelope errors and a scramble before Election Day(00:22:34) Round one at the Supreme Court: too soon to sue(00:24:57) Round two: now it's "too late"(00:26:21) The Postal Service's outsized role in elections(00:27:17) The Purcell principle and last-minute chaos(00:28:01) A fracturing Supreme Court on election law(00:28:54) "Suppression through chaos"(00:30:10) Closing Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's Headlines: Kash Patel testified before Congress for four and a half hours, during which Republican Senator John Kennedy asked why he would "even get into bestiality" — a reference to the FBI's new hiring policy — and Kash responded that "we're not into bestiality" before claiming the policy change was to help trafficking victims, which is not what the policy said, making it one of the more surreal exchanges in recent congressional history. Kash also defended firing FBI agents for being "disloyal" to Trump by having investigated January 6th or Iranian threats. The Kennedy Center voted to close itself after another judge blocked Trump's name going on the building, Trump posted that it's closing for repairs that will only happen if his name goes on it, and the courts said no again. To add to that loss, Trump went on a Truth Social rant against Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett, and Gorsuch for the mail voting ruling while calling Alito and Thomas "legends both," sent Todd Blanche out to clean it up on TV, and is still pressuring states for voter data and planning to send agents to polling sites in swing counties. On the war beat, the Iran war has officially cost over $38 billion as of August 1st and is projected to add at least half a point to inflation in early 2027 even if it ended today — which it won't — diesel hit an all-time high of $6 a gallon after Iranian drones hit a Saudi pipeline, and the Fed is expected to raise interest rates for the first time since 2023. All that is probably why Thomas Massie introduced a resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth for illegally continuing the Iran war, which probably won't work but will force Republicans on record. And finally, DOGE's approach to shrinking the government cost taxpayers $9.5 billion in 2025 paying federal employees not to work — 435% more in paid administrative leave than the prior year.  Resources/Articles mentioned: NBC News: Kash Patel defends FBI's new policy on bestiality at Senate hearing WaPo: FBI director faces sharp questions from senators about his firing of agents AP News: Live updates: Kennedy Center board votes to close most of the iconic performing arts venue NYT: Trump Slams Supreme Court Over Mail-In Voting Ruling WSJ: Trump's Frustration With His Own Supreme Court Appointees Boils Over AP News: Iran war has cost the US more than $38B, budget office says WSJ: U.S. Diesel Prices Hit New Record High as Fuel Squeeze Bites  Axios: Massie moves to impeach Pete Hegseth over Iran War WSJ: Pentagon Wants Only the Fittest Troops to Attend Upcoming Hegseth Speech NYT: Federal Employees Were Paid $9.5 Billion Not to Work in 2025 Under DOGE Effort Subscribe to the Betches News Room and join the Morning Announcements group chat.

Todd examines the Supreme Court's refusal to allow the Trump administration's proposed Postal Service ballot-mail rules to take effect for the 2026 midterms. He walks through the proposed envelope logos, voter-linked barcodes, and election-office data portal, and explains why he sees them as election-integrity safeguards. Todd contrasts judicial activism with originalism, discusses Justice Brett Kavanaugh's concerns about implementation time, and considers Justice Samuel Alito's suggestion that delays influenced the outcome. He closes by urging conservatives to focus on winning under the rules in place.

No in-studio guest tonight, just CannCon and Ashe in America playing prosecutor as they roll the tape on David Becker's members-only town hall, the one Ashe tried to record and got 49 minutes of silence for her trouble, now recovered from the group's own YouTube. They pick apart his victory-lap framing that the DOJ is a perfect zero for 23 in voter-data cases, his turnout sleight of hand, and a candid admission that even the government's own analysis shows non-citizen voting almost never happens. Along the way they hit the ERIC-to-CEIR data handoff, the identity-theft "holy trinity," and why NGOs and China get the rolls but the administration cannot. Then it's part two: the Supreme Court's mail-in ballot order and a close read of Justice Alito's dissent, including a wrinkle that surprised even them. Plus a 9/11 Pentagon debate, meatball sliders, and guard week chaos.

CannCon and Ashe record a special late night edition ahead of travel to Nevada, opening with the Supreme Court's mail in ballot decision and the blistering Alito and Thomas dissent that raises real questions about who actually gets to set election rules. Ashe is still fired up from a Why We Vote episode recorded moments earlier. The bulk of the show works through a series of Kash Patel clips from his Senate appearance, where he pushes back hard on senators feeding media narratives, defends his record on weaponization, and fields a line of questioning about FBI hiring standards that leaves both hosts genuinely speechless. They also revisit lingering questions about the Thomas Crooks rooftop and what the Bureau still has not explained. Expect candid opinions and a looser late night feel throughout.

On this power-packed edition of The Adult in the Room, Victoria Taft returns to the home studio to deliver hard-hitting geopolitical intelligence, national security scoops, and cultural deconstructions: Iran SITREP & The Tragedy of Islam (Robert Spencer): Jihad Watch director and bestselling author Robert Spencer joins the program to break down Iran's collapsing economy, currency hyperinflation, and Tehran's threats to exit the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Spencer details the theological doctrine of Taqiyya (sacred deception) practiced by the regime, assesses picking fights with Saudi oil pipelines via the Houthis, and exposes how Turkey under Erdogan has quietly surpassed Saudi Arabia as the top financier of Islamic centers and mosques across America. Miracle on an Iranian Ridgeline (Pilot "44 Bravo" Rescued): Newly declassified Pentagon and CENTCOM footage reveals the harrowing survival story of "Forty-Four Bravo," the weapons systems officer of a downed American F-15E Strike Eagle. After free-falling when his parachute failed to unfurl, Bravo hid in mountain crevasses while evading Iranian search teams hunting a bounty on his head before being extracted by elite Air Force Pararescue operators (PJs). The Manufactured AI Panic (David Sacks & Barack Obama): Victoria exposes the political strategy behind Barack Obama urging Democrats to make "AI safety" a core midterm platform. Drawing on insights from David Sacks on the All-In Podcast, Victoria dissects how an orchestrated "whistleblower" op backed by Effective Altruism mega-donors and Neville Roy Singham-tied dark money is manufacturing regulatory panic to throttle American tech dominance. SCOTUS Mail-In Ballot Ruling: Victoria analyzes the Supreme Court's stay halting Trump administration postal authentication rules for mail-in ballots, breaking down Justice Samuel Alito's blistering dissent calling out lawfare groups for running out the clock. Semantic Sabotage: A masterclass on how the radical left weaponizes newspeak by expanding definitions like "white supremacy" to dismantle classical Western institutions, accompanied by a three-step formula to dismantle it.

On this week's podcast conversation, Charlie Sykes and Matt discuss:— A Putin-linked Russian oligarch spent hundreds of thousands on Don Jr. Bahamas wedding weekend. Why this would have been a career-ending scandal in any other era, and how it lines up with Trump's posture toward Putin and Ukraine.— Trump goes all-in as cheerleader for AI data centers while polls show almost nobody wants them next door.— Midterm weather report: Mary Peltola's good debate in Alaska, Roger Marshall's Kansas mess, and Ted Cruz getting booed by college football fans. — The Senate is the real prize: blocking Trump's Supreme Court and appellate appointments, and Cabinet-style MAGA appointments.— SCOTUS slaps down Trump's Postal Service scheme on mail-in ballots, 7–2 — and why Alito and Thomas dissenting is the tell.— Mitch McConnell finally gets wheeled out for votes, and why we have to fix geriatric Washington.— And MUCH more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

Jon Herold digs into the Supreme Court's decision leaving a lower court block on the USPS mail ballot integrity rule in place for the midterms, reading through Alito's sharp dissent and Kavanaugh's concurrence to argue election officials and courts, not Trump, caused the timing crunch that killed it. He builds a theory connecting the AI industry's sudden safety slowdown push to the midterms, digging up years of anti Trump statements and donations from Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei to question the motives behind the timing. There's also a detailed update on the Joe DiGenova resignation saga, including new court filings suggesting friction with Todd Blanche's DOJ leadership over a John Brennan grand jury subpoena, plus a Trump Truth Social post reacting to the SCOTUS ruling. Sponsor reads, Vegas conference logistics, and a lively chat session round out a dense, pre Gart travel Tuesday show.  

On today's episode, Legal Tuesday with James, Glenn, and Dwayne (Tim in the room; Ben sat out) opens on “we lost the midterms” after the Supreme Court denied Trump's emergency stay on the Postal Service mail-ballot rules — Kavanaugh's concurrence on midterm prejudice, Alito's dissent, and a district-court Elections Clause win that leaves the injunction in place. They unpack Paxton vs Talafrico (Tallarico), fake polls, Steve Hilton for California governor, Lee Zeldin's NGO clawback, and Dwayne's notary-affidavit EO brainstorm for California ballot batches. Mitch McConnell's “auto finger” one-vote cameo and today's Save Act / Clarity Act cloture votes set up the case stack: a DHS student-and-journalist visa-duration block, Judge O'Toole yanking OPM's “loyalty essay” as forced speech, and Louisiana v. FDA over mailed abortion pills and telehealth standing at the Fifth Circuit. Grow NELA Meta tax spillover (Richland up ~400%), AI doomerism as a Mike Benz–called scam with a liability-shield ask, diesel weeks from a damaged Saudi pipeline, and Tesla Roadster cold-thrust fever dreams land at Starbase Louisiana — then Maple Street doubles and PJ's Exit 33. Don't miss it!

On Episode 178 of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan breaks down an NBC10 Boston jump cut and what sloppy editing says about how Legacy/mainstream media shapes the news. He then turns to Justice Samuel Alito's dissent, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, after the Supreme Court left a nationwide injunction in place blocking a USPS mail-in ballot rule before the midterms. Newly released FBI information on Thomas Crooks landed this week, including alias purchases and who was the anonymous donor that paid for his cremation? Alan then dives into a national-defense monologue on 21st-century warfare: the El Paso airspace shutdown tied to a border anti-drone laser, the cost of missiles versus directed energy, Chinese satellite imagery linked to Iran's strike on a U.S. base in Jordan, Space Force, and newly acknowledged U.S. weapons in orbit.

The Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule repealing most of the carbon-emission limits for coal and natural gas-fired power plants. The EPA projects that ending these limits would save more than $310 billion. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says that the changes would allow the U.S. to build power-generating infrastructure to meet the rapidly rising demands. Zeldin dismissed critics of the decision saying the EPA is following what he calls best reading of the Clean Air Act. The rollback is expected to face immediate legal challenges.The Supreme Court dealt a blow to the Trump administration in its efforts to ensure the integrity of U.S. elections. The high court ruling on Monday that the government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge. Justice Brett Kavanaugh filed a concurring opinion. He says there is “at least a fair prospect” that the postal rule is legal, but it is too late to use for the November midterm elections. Justice Samuel Alito filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.The 51st Toronto International Film Festival opened Thursday with the world premiere of Being Heumann, an inspiring true story from Oscar-winning CODA filmmaker Siân Heder. Hollywood stars packed the red carpet as fans lined up for hours outside the Roy Thomson Hall. The Toronto Film Festival is set to run through September 20, screening nearly 300 films.

The Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's effort to enforce new Postal Service restrictions on mail ballots before the November midterms. The 7-2 decision leaves existing state mail-ballot procedures in place while the legal fight continues.

Join Federalist Executive Editor Joy Pullmann for a special audio series that investigates the dramatically increasing strategic use of government to sideline elections in achieving a political outcome.

In this episode, Joy breaks down what lawfare is, tracing the erosion of our justice system back to the activist progressive courts of the mid-twentieth century, and what the conservative legal movement must do to combat it. You can read Joy's book False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America here.The Federalist Foundation is a nonprofit, and we depend entirely on our listeners and readers — not corporations.

Las elecciones intermedias tienen su propia naturaleza. Cada municipio tiene su dinámica, pero las confrontaciones del bloque en el poder le pueden abrir espacios. Lo avasallador de la coalición gobernante puede no serlo tanto. El objetivo es que Morena no alcance la mayoría calificada en la elección federal. Alito es un peligro para la oposición, Romero también lo es y no se digan otros liderazgos locales como Enrique Vargas que se junta con Pedro Haces. El problema es que a los opositores les falta estrategia y visión para eso. No tienen candidatos aptos en varios estados. No han hecho su trabajo en los últimos años.

¡Qué viernes el de hoy, hubo de todo! ¿Nos quieren ver la cara? ¡Ya se pudo! Hoy Gaby Cam nos hizo una recomendación muy tétrica, pero tan dulce que los va a dejar helados. Carlos Alazraki aplicó un: "¿Estamos al aire?, ¡avísenme!" La Ex Ministra Norma Piña re apareció y se aventó un chistín que traía anotado en su acordeón. 'Alito' Moreno arremete contra Máynez, Máynez, Máynez (lo leyeron cantando no se hagan) y recuerda la guarapeta que se puso. Y registran en México al primer bebé "Isisí".

A la Presidenta le gana la risa... al enterarse que dijeron que le dio ataque de nervios previo al Informe, también habló de lo que nos va a heredar. A 'Alito' le sale lo "lion" y dice que él es el único con cojon#$% para enfrentar al régimen. Clatita Brugada nos enseña cómo farmear aura en las utopias; y Eduardo Iniesta armó polémica sobre las entradas por detrás, ¿son de expulsión directa? El gran "Fetish" Fernández contó sobre su peor compañero de cuarto y a Pepillo se le atora algo en la garganta cuando habla de darse una jaladita.

La senadora Malú Mícher dice que es mentira que los programas sociales se financien con los impuestos. Dice 'Alito' que a 'Andy' le quitaron la Visa, pero no lo pend... También 'Alito' dijo que ganarán en el '27 y en el '30 y compara a Inzunza con Pablo Escobar. La Dra Sheinbaum dice que no hay rompimiento en Morena y que los que dicen que AMLO siguen mandando son machistas. Y les contaremos cómo hacerse un injerto de pn.

America's Supreme Court has been taken over by conservatives, and Samuel Alito is one of the most powerful of all.

After following up on Justice Alito's summer interview, the new birthright-citizenship executive orders, and the Court's record-low approval numbers, we devote the episode to Cisco Systems v. Doe, the Falun Gong surveillance case that closes the door Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain left open for new Alien Tort Statute claims. We try to build a theory of the ATS from first principles — Section 9 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the law of nations, and the Marbois affair — before running through two decades of the Court narrowing the statute. Then we ask what to make of "door closing" as a phenomenon, from Edwards v. Vannoy to Rucho, and whether the Court would really be stuck if the perfect ATS unicorn finally showed up. Along the way: whether Justice Alito is an I-95 or an Amtrak guy, the seven-case October calendar led by Suncor, Rooker anti-Feldmanism, and a Phoenix bar band called the Blackstone Three.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: 29 episodes makes a record-breaking season, and the secret to sub-4-hour recording sessions[00:02:28] Justice Alito's WSJ interview with James Taranto: "Obviously I'm here for another term," the vultures, and his high school English teacher's psychoanalysis[00:06:27] How Will became a libertarian: Mr. Flannery, Lexis news alerts for "Ayn Rand," and golfer David Duval[00:09:48] Still no action on the mail-in voting applications; a White House ballroom emergency application expected any day[00:11:15] No rehearing petition in Trump v.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down David Crowley's stunning upset in Wisconsin's Democratic primary for governor, as the Milwaukee County executive defeats Fran Hong despite trailing badly in recent polls. They analyze Tony Evers' late intervention, the chaotic primary, Crowley's matchup with Republican Tom Tiffany, and what the race could mean in one of the nation's biggest swing states. Kander and Gupta also check in on Trump's latest claims that “things are going great,” his bizarre handling of the Qatari jet story, and reports of a secret aircraft switch during his return from Turkey. Plus, they discuss Trump's cuts to national park funding, the White House push for new charges over the Reflecting Pool, AOC's comments on “woke 1.0,” and Alito staying on the Supreme Court for another term.
