In this segment, Ryan and Brad are joined by Andy McCarthy. Andy is a contributing editor at National Review, a fellow at National Review Institute, the host of the McCarthy Report, a Fox News contributor, and a former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney. McCarthy discusses Democrats obstructing ICE agents. Have they lost their minds?
In this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, National Review's Andy McCarthy and guest host Andrew Arthur, the Center's fellow in law and policy, examine the erosion of legal norms – from immigration enforcement to judicial power – and what this means for how our system of government is supposed to work under the Constitution.Prosecutorial Discretion:McCarthy traces how the Obama and Biden administrations transformed prosecutorial discretion from a tool used on a case-by-case basis into a broad and categorical policy of declining to enforce immigration laws. What was once a resource-based allocation judgment has become, in his view, an unconstitutional end-run around Congress.The Courts as a Political Battleground:With Congress “not doing its job,” McCarthy highlights how activist groups race to friendly judges for nationwide injunctions. He warns the resulting judicial overreach allows unelected judges, often handpicked by advocacy groups, to override elected officials and block policies nationally, replacing democratic accountability with judicial activism. SCOTUS's large emergency docket caseload is a symptom of the resulting dysfunction.The Rise of Progressive Lawyering:McCarthy contrasts originalism, which examines and respects the Constitution's original meaning, with progressive lawyering, which he sees as driven by social outcomes rather than legal process. This shift, he contends, threatens democratic governance.Deportation and Due Process:The two legal experts address Trump-era deportation efforts using both the foreign policy grounds for removal and the Alien Enemies Act. McCarthy, who supports broad executive authority, explains that even aliens have constitutional protections.HostAndrew Arthur is a Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew McCarthy is a Senior Fellow at the National Review Institute and Contributing Editor at National Review.RelatedAndrew McCarthy articles at National ReviewSupremes Uphold Due Process While Handling Trump Win in Venezuelan Deportations CaseWhat is 'Shocking' to J.D.

Susan Pendergrass and Dominic Pino, the Thomas L. Rhodes Fellow at the National Review Institute, discuss the current state of U.S. tariffs and trade policy. They explore tariffs as a hidden form of taxation, debunk common misconceptions about trade deficits, provide historical context for America's protectionist tendencies, and more.

What happens when the world's biggest economy slams the brakes on global trade? In just weeks, Donald Trump's tariff blitz has shattered decades of US-led liberalisation — and the fallout is only just beginning. As prices creep higher and wallets tighten, will the political backlash bite harder than the economic one? And in the UK, could fiscal fear turn into fiscal flair? CapX editor Marc Sidwell is joined by the IEA's Reem Ibrahim and Dominic Pino of the National Review Institute to explore whether this era of upheaval might just offer the chance to rewrite the economic rulebook.

Join Jim and Greg for three good martinis on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss President Trump's approval of the F-47 fighter jet, the future political ambitions of the DeSantis family, and mounting evidence that Democrats have alienated young men in a historic way. Plus, they make a somber champagne toast to the late former Utah Rep. Mia Love.First, they welcome Trump's approval of the F-47, a cutting-edge, sixth-generation stealth fighter capable of reaching Mach 2. This decision underscores the administration's focus on military readiness and warfighting capabilities. Jim also explains how this decision impacts the growing debate about whether manned fighters are needed in the age of drones.Next, Jim shares insights from the National Review Institute's Ideas Summit, where he interviewed Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and hosted a discussion with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey. Rumors are swirling that Casey DeSantis is considering a 2026 gubernatorial run, and Jim explains why there's a very good chance Mrs. DeSantis will jump in the race. He also notes the surprising ways she would be different than her husband as governor.Then, they analyze fresh evidence that Gen Z men are shifting right, possibly in a huge, permanent way. Jim explores why this realignment doesn't surprise him, pointing to how the left's approach to education has driven young men toward conservatism. While time will tell, current data suggests this could be the most dramatic political shift among a generation in modern history.Finally, they raise a champagne toast to former Utah Rep. Mia Love, who passed away from brain cancer. She was just 49 years old. Greg shares excerpts from a recent column Love wrote about the America she cherished, while Jim reflects on her time in Congress and the political future she might have had until cancer robbed her of it.Please visit our great sponsors:This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Dominic Pino, Thomas L. Rhodes Fellow at National Review Institute. Analysis of SCOTUS and Sotomayor dissents
In a spate of end-of-term decisions, the Supreme Court released its decision on the question of presidential immunity, ruling that the president has broad protections from criminal prosecution for “official acts,” a presumption of immunity for likely official acts, and zero immunity for private acts. Does this now mean that the U.S. now has a “king” as head of state, someone above the law, as many have implied? Can the president really release Seal Team 6 to kill political rivals without consequence? The answer is simple: No. Rather, the Court continued the job of rebalancing our Republic in favor of three branches, with Congress as the clear venue for trying any president for high crimes and misdemeanors. What does the ruling mean for Trump's pending trials? And how is criticism of the Court eroding it as an American institution? Andrew C. McCarthy is a senior fellow at the National Review Institute, an NR contributing editor, and the author of Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency. Previously, he served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.Read the transcript here.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Bruce LeVell—Senior Advisor to President Donald Trump & Former Small Business Advisory Advocate for the White House—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 2024 campaign, Trump's New York City trial over “hush money” payments, and President Joe Biden's recent trip to Scranton. 4:25pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman ridiculously accused Donald Trump of glaring at her in court after she reported that Trump may have fallen asleep during legal proceedings. 4:30pm- Andrew C. McCarthy—Senior Fellow at National Review Institute & Author of “Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Donald Trump's ongoing “hush money” trial. Trump was indicted for attempting to conceal payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election. McCarthy hilariously notes that Bragg's legal argument seems to imply that it's acceptable for a politician to pay-off adult film actresses with campaign funds provided the transactions are properly documented! You can learn more about his book here: https://www.encounterbooks.com/books/ball-of-collusion/. 4:50pm- On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Fischer v. United States—a case which will determine whether obstruction laws can be used to charge January 6th defendants. While questioning U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, Justice Neil Gorsuch asked if “pulling a fire alarm before a [Congressional] vote” would qualify as obstruction, potentially resulting in up to 20-years of federal imprisonment. Notably, Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building just prior to the House holding its vote on a stopgap spending measure—allegedly to delay the vote.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/16/2024): 3:05pm- While leaving a New York City court on Monday, former President Donald Trump told reporters it is a “scam trial” and the politicized charges amount to “election interference.” He also revealed that the judge will not allow him to skip part of the trial to attend his son's high school graduation ceremony. Trump has been indicted for attempting to conceal payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election. 3:10pm- On Tuesday, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) requested that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) resign—after Speaker Johnson announced he plans to hold a vote on Ukraine aid funding later this week. Massie joins Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as Republican members of Congress now vocally opposed to Johnson remaining in power. Working with a slim Republican majority in the House (218-213 with 4 vacancies), is Johnson now in serious jeopardy of being removed as Speaker? 3:15pm- According to Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire, Saudi Arabia publicly acknowledged that they assisted Israel, the United States, the U.K., Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates in “repelling a combination of more than 300 missiles and drones” launched from Iran and directed at Israel. You can read the full report here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/saudi-arabia-publicly-acknowledges-defending-israel-from-iranian-attacks-reports 3:30pm- While entering court on Tuesday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said he should be on the campaign trail visiting swing states instead of defending himself in court against politicized charges. 3:40pm- James Lynch of National Review writes: “House Republicans delivered articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate, citing his refusal to combat record levels of illegal immigration. A group of GOP impeachment managers walked over to the Senate Tuesday afternoon to officially deliver the articles and initiate an impeachment trial as Democrats seek to expedite the process or dismiss the charges altogether. Senators will be sworn-in as jurors on Wednesday to begin trial proceedings.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-republicans-deliver-mayorkas-impeachment-articles-to-senate/ 3:50pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman ridiculously accused Donald Trump of glaring at her in court after she reported that Trump may have fallen asleep during legal proceedings. 4:05pm- Bruce LeVell—Senior Advisor to President Donald Trump & Former Small Business Advisory Advocate for the White House—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 2024 campaign, Trump's New York City trial over “hush money” payments, and President Joe Biden's recent trip to Scranton. 4:25pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman ridiculously accused Donald Trump of glaring at her in court after she reported that Trump may have fallen asleep during legal proceedings. 4:30pm- Andrew C.

But he doesn't want to stand with Israel too much because he risks losing the votes of those who support the Palestinians—including, apparently, his own wife. So now he's encouraging Israel to stand down instead of standing up to the Iranians.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/bidens-moral-equivalency-between-israel-palestinians-will-result-failure-again.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode: 3:05pm- On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley teased a “major” speech. Many media outlets believed Haley was announcing the suspension of her campaign ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary, her home state, where she is projected to lose by 25-points, according to Real Clear Politics polling averages. However, she vowed to continue with her long-shot campaign. 3:10pm- In his Silver Bulletin newsletter, statistician Nate Silver wrote: “If you'd asked me a year ago, I would have told you that Joe Biden was a reasonably clear favorite in the event of a rematch against Donald Trump. Not an overwhelming favorite, mind you. But perhaps a 65:35 favorite…Since then, Biden's situation has become considerably worse…Personally, I crossed the Rubicon in November, concluding that Biden should stand down if he wasn't going to be able to run a normal reelection campaign—meaning, things like conduct a Super Bowl interview. Yes, it's a huge risk and, yes, Biden can still win. But he's losing now and there's no plan to fix the problems other than hoping that the polls are wrong or that voters look at the race differently when they have more time to focus on it.” You can read more here: https://www.natesilver.net/p/its-time-for-the-white-house-to-put 3:15pm- During an interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC's This Week, radio personality Charlamagne tha God referred to President Joe Biden as an “uninspiring candidate” and did not endorse him in the 2024 presidential election. 3:30pm- Flashback: During a debate with Democrat presidential candidate Walter Mondale in 1984, President Ronald Reagan was asked about his advanced age. He joked: “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." 3:40pm- Dan McLaughlin—Senior Writer at National Review Online and Fellow at National Review Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his recent article, “There's No Defending Woodrow Wilson.” Was Woodrow Wilson the worst president in American history? Wilson was responsible for “subverting” the U.S. Constitution and greatly expanding the power and size of the executive branch. McLaughlin jokes that it's part of our patriotic duty to dislike Wilson and notes he's also responsible for daylight saving time! 4:05pm- On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley teased a “major” speech. Many media outlets believed Haley was announcing the suspension of her campaign ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary, her home state, where she is projected to lose by 25-points, according to Real Clear Politics polling averages. However, she vowed to continue with her long-shot campaign. 4:10pm- While speaking with Jen Psaki on MSNBC, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi baselessly claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin could successfully bribe Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump if he were ever to return to office. 4:15pm- While appearing on CNN, businessman Kevin O'Leary warned that Judge Arthur F. Engoron's decision to fine Donald Trump $354 million for inflating the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in past financial statements could lead to businesses fleeing the state of New York—resulting in severe economic damages. O'Leary also noted how strange the civil suit was considering there were no victims. 4:30pm- George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley told a Fox News panel that he would not be surprised to see Donald Trump appeal his $354 million fine all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. 4:50pm- During a conversation with Bari Weiss of The Free Press, Harvard University economics professor Roland Fryer revealed that “all hell broke loose” following the publication of a 2017 study he conducted on police shootings and the use of force based on race. Fryer writes: “On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force—officer-involved shootings—we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account.” Because Fryer's research concluded that there is no racial bias in police shootings, there was immediate backlash from members of academia. You can read the full study here: https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/fryer/files/empirical_analysis_tables_figures.pdf 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the way Harvard economist Roland Fryer was treated by academia after he published a research study indicating no racial bias in police shootings. You can pre-order Dr. Reilly's upcoming book here: https://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Liberal-Teacher-Told/dp/0063265974. 5:35pm- While speaking with former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau on Pod Save America, Senator Elizabeth Warren awkwardly revealed which celebrity she would like to “hypothetically” smoke weed with—Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson! 5:40pm- New York Governor Kathy Hochul awkwardly joked about attacking Canada during an event last week. How will Canadian Prime Minister—and definitely NOT the son of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro—Justin Trudeau react? 6:05pm- In perhaps the most disturbing story you'll read all day, Hank Berrien of The Daily Wire writes: “A British trust that supervises numerous hospitals issued a letter claiming that milk produced by biological men (with the aid of ingested hormones) is as good for babies as breast milk from their mothers. Dr. Rachael James, the medical director of the University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust (USHT) trust—which was the first British trust to use terms such as ‘chestfeeding' and ‘birthing parent'¸ wrote a letter last August to an organization called Children of Transitioners in which she claimed that ‘the term human milk (which she called the ‘ideal food for infants') is meant to be neutral and is not gender-biased.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-sick-british-hospitals-say-milk-from-trans-men-equal-to-mothers-breast-milk-for-babies 6:30pm- On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley teased a “major” speech. Many media outlets believed Haley was announcing the suspension of her campaign ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary, her home state, where she is projected to lose by 25-points, according to Real Clear Politics polling averages. However, she vowed to continue with her long-shot campaign 6:40pm- Mairead Elordi of The Daily Wire reports: “The Biden administration's Justice Department filed a lawsuit Thursday against Tennessee's aggravated prostitution law for people with HIV. The law, which imposes tougher penalties for engaging in prostitution while knowingly infected with HIV, violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Justice Department claims in its lawsuit.” You can read the full report here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-justice-department-sues-over-tennessees-hiv-prostitution-law 6:50pm- In his Silver Bulletin newsletter, statistician Nate Silver wrote: “If you'd asked me a year ago, I would have told you that Joe Biden was a reasonably clear favorite in the event of a rematch against Donald Trump.

It's like they were trying to sell us on Gucci, but really it's the package that the guy around the corner in the alley pulled out of his trunk.” 4:50pm- The New York Post writes: “Sex workers must now compete with artificial intelligence, as the world's first AI brothel pioneers the future of sex. At first glance, Berlin's Cybrothel operates like a traditional escort business. Private suites can be booked for a few hours, or overnight, and clients choose their companion from a list of seductive names like Bimbo or Ms Schmidt. But the Berlin bordello's futuristic edge lies with its workers. At Cybrothel, patrons share company with life-size sex dolls instead of human sex workers. Bimbo, Kokeshi and Co can't move or speak, but clients interact with them in the virtual realm; donning VR headsets to watch immersive 4D porn featuring their favourite sex-bot.” You can read the full, ridiculous report here: https://nypost.com/2024/02/04/lifestyle/inside-cybrothel-the-worlds-first-ai-brothel-using-sex-dolls/ 5:05pm- Jim Tankerslay of The New York Times writes: “President Biden, whose approval rating has suffered amid high inflation, is beginning to pressure large grocery chains to slash food prices for American consumers, accusing the stores of reaping excess profits and ripping off shoppers. ‘There are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation,' Mr. Biden said last week in South Carolina. Aides say those comments are a preview of more pressure to come against grocery chains and other companies that are maintaining higher-than-usual profit margins after a period of rapid price growth. Economic research suggests the cost of eggs, milk and other staples—which consumers buy far more frequently than big-ticket items like furniture or electronics—play an outsize role in shaping Americans' views of inflation. Those prices jumped more than 11 percent in 2022 and 5 percent last year, amid a postpandemic inflation surge that was the nation's fastest burst of price increases in four decades.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/01/us/politics/biden-food-prices.html 5:20pm- During a speech over the weekend, President Joe Biden recounted a recent conversation he had with French President Francois Mitterrand.
