On this issue 4371 of The Bugle, Andy is joined by Alice Fraser and Tiff Stevenson as they breakdown another turbulent week's news from across the globe, with the aftermath of the attacks across the Middle East, and the appointment of the new supreme leader of Iran. The trio also discuss Timothée Chalamet recent controversy, and the growing concern that the human race are too easily influenced!

The New Yorker staff writer Jonathan Blitzer joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss Kristi Noem's removal from her post as Secretary of Homeland Security. They talk about the lead-up to her firing—which included accusations of fiscal mismanagement and self-promotion—and her controversial tenure as the head of one of the largest and most powerful departments during Donald Trump's second Presidential term. They also explore the history and evolution of the Department of Homeland Security and how its founding in the wake of the September 11th attacks laid the groundwork for the sweeping—and, according to some legal experts, unconstitutional—powers it wields today. This week's reading:  “Kristi Noem's Fireable Offenses,” by Jonathan Blitzer “How Donald Trump's Iran War Is Destabilizing the Gulf,” by Isaac Chotiner “The Zombie Regulator,” by E.

The Biden admin spent our tax dollars making maps gay. Tim Tebow showed Congress a map with 338,000+ unique U.S. IP addresses trading/sharing child sexual abuse material (kids under 12) in just 6 months. Video of the Democratic mayor of San Francisco is going viral after he calmly walked away while his security detail was being attacked. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott signed off on taxpayer-funded perks for staff—crab feasts and NFL skybox seats—then brushed off the price tag. $800,000 isn't pocket change, Mr. Mayor. Baltimore deserves better than luxury tabs on the public dime. The Black Lives Matter activists that make up the Prince George's County Council have enacted emergency law that pits local police officers against ICE Agents enforcing federal immigration law.

The Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has said Iran will stop striking its Arab neighbours as long as no attacks originate from their territory. President Trump has characterised the remark as a surrender in response to relentless US and Israeli attacks.

Something interesting happened today.Joe Biden made a public appearance… and suddenly the internet decided the last four years never happened.Cable news panels and political influencers immediately started telling Americans how “presidential” Biden looked simply for walking into a room and shaking a few hands.But tonight on Throwback Thursday, we're bringing receipts.Because if Americans forget what actually happened during the Biden presidency… someone will try to convince them it never did.Tonight we revisit the Biden Years:• The censorship era and the Disinformation Governance Board• Corporate America's DEI obsession and cultural insanity• Inflation that hit the highest levels in 40 years• Gas prices that made commuting feel like a luxury purchase• The Afghanistan withdrawal disaster• The Ukraine war and global instability• The Chinese spy balloon crossing the United States• Record border crossings and overwhelmed cities• And of course… the presidential gaffes that the media pretended not to seeBecause memory matters.If a country forgets what just happened… it becomes very easy to repeat it.This episode of The Last Gay Conservative is a reminder of what America actually lived through — and why remembering it matters.00:00 Cold Open – Biden's “Presidential” Appearance02:30 Show Intro05:20 Segment 1 – Culture & Censorship07:10 The Disinformation Governance Board09:30 Big Tech and Government Censorship12:30 The DEI Corporate Era16:30 Pronouns and Cultural Enforcement20:45 Segment 2 – The Biden Economy22:00 Inflation Hits 40-Year High25:10 Grocery Prices and Shrinkflation27:30 Gas Prices Surge29:45 Housing Market Shock31:50 Recession Definition Controversy34:00 Segment 3 – Global Chaos35:20 Afghanistan Collapse38:30 Ukraine War Begins41:30 Chinese Spy Balloon Incident43:20 Border Crisis and Record Crossings47:10 Segment 4 – The “Presidential” Years48:10 Biden Gaffes and Media Double Standards50:30 Trump vs Biden Leadership Contrast53:00 Lockdowns and Pandemic Aftermath56:30 Reagan Reminder58:30 Episode Close#BidenYears#ThrowbackThursday#Politics#ConservativePodcast#LastGayConservative

Constitutional Debates Over Presidential Authority and the War Powers Act John Yoo discusses the War Powers Resolution's history and argues that presidents possess inherent constitutional authority to use force abroad without prior congressional consent. (3)1835

Judicial Limits and Political Checks on Presidential War-Making Power John Yu argues that elections, rather than courts or the War Powers Resolution, serve as the primary constitutional check on a president's use of force. (4)11865 Roger Taney

The guys discuss that America needs a strong Commander in Chief as Presdient. Modern warfare is erasing the necessity of taking War to Congress. Also, the UK is now under the influence of Islam. Israel is now our #1 ally.

"I ran across an article listing musicians who are in both the Rock and the Country Halls of Fame. There aren't many. When I started looking into it further I found that the people on the list were in multiple other Halls of Fame as well. I wanted to find out what musician is in the most Halls. There is a clear winner."

Dr Rory Costello, Dept of Politics and Public Administration at University of Limerick.

This past weekend, the United States went to war.The president didn't present his case in a primetime speech from the Oval Office or the White House's East Room, but rather, in an edited video posted at 2:30 a.m. on the social media platform he owns.And that video post came between others where President Trump has falsely claimed that elections were rigged and stolen, called for the prosecution of people who have opposed him, and lobbied to put his face on U.S. currency.The New Yorker's Susan Glasser has been tracking it all, week by week, since 2018. She talks about the myriad ways the presidency, and the norms surrounding it, continue to change under Trump.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.  Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Erika Ryan, with audio engineering by Becky Brown and Damian Herring.

Send a textIn this episode of The Corporate Life, host Hina Siddiqui sits down with George Dubuc, a man who has witnessed the evolution of connection from the engineering floors of General Motors in 1967 to the digital chaos of the modern era. Known as "The Ultimate Networker," George shares his perspective on why America is facing an epidemic of loneliness and how the transition from genuine human connection to transactional "dehumanized" units is affecting our mental health.George discusses his journey from building internet infrastructure when people were still asking "what's a website?" to his current role as an author and producer of the TV show America's Real Deal. He offers a candid look at the "noise" of social media, the breakdown of traditional family networks, and his ambitious new mission to launch a "Mastermind" movement for the 2028 U.S. Presidential run focused on logic and facts rather than propaganda.Key TakeawaysThe most important asset in life is who you know and who knows you, yet many people fail to nurture relationships. Modern technology is moving faster than human brain evolution, leading to frustration and a "ghosting" culture where connections are purely transactional. Success in the digital age often rewards those making the most "noise" rather than the highest quality product.Episode HighlightsGeorge reflects on the shrinking of family networks, noting his own hometown gathering dropped from 100 people to just 15 as younger generations delay marriage and reproduction. He also contrasts the "regimented" business world of the 1970s with today's "do your own thing" authenticity, where rules have been replaced by convenience. Finally, he shares his grandfather's secret to a wonderful life: work hard every single day, both physically and mentally.Timestamps00:00 - Introduction to the Ultimate Networker George Dubuc 03:30 - The importance of nurturing long-term relationships 06:00 - The decline of family networks and the rise of loneliness 09:30 - Why human brains are struggling to keep up with technology 22:00 - Evolution of the internet and doing business on the web 26:00 - America's Real Deal: Shark Tank on steroids 34:30 - Social interaction games and the "Sexuality Probe" 40:30 - The 2028 Mastermind Presidential movementConnect with GuestWebsite: theultimatenetworker.com TV Show: americasrealdeal.comConnect with HinaWEBSITE I https://thehinasiddiqui.com/ LINKEDIN I / hinasiddiqui INSTAGRAM I @hinawithwings YOUTUBE I / @thehinasiddiqui Email I hina@thehinasiddiqui.comCheck out Hina's books: https://amzn.to/The Path to ExitFounders—thinking of selling or raising capital?

The 2026 election will decide who controls the House and Senate for the duration of Trump's presidency. Trump's approval is low and public opinion is moving against his policy ideas. The historical pattern suggests Democrats are on the way to big congressional gains. Carlos Algara studies 80 years of high-frequency data on generic ballot polls and election results. Presidential approval and the ideological direction of public opinion consistently predict congressional vote choices. Like this year, both usually move against the president in midterms. Neither economic statistics and perceptions nor the degree of partisan competition matters independently of those patterns. Generic ballot polls reliably predict seat gains, though a lot more for the House than the Senate.

In this episode of The Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan welcomes Director of International Investigations for MUFON, Bob Spearing to discuss the recent words by former US President Barak Obama saying that aliens exist, as well as the bombshell announcement from sitting President Donald Trump that he has called for the release of all files related to the UFO topic.

I never thought I'd be covering court battles like this, but here I am, glued to the latest twists in the legal wars swirling around President Donald Trump. Just yesterday, on March 2, 2026, the Supreme Court heard arguments in United States v. Hemani, where the Trump administration is defending a federal law banning illegal drug users from owning guns. Justice Elena Kagan grilled lawyers with hypotheticals about ayahuasca ceremonies, and even Justice Amy Coney Barrett admitted she'd never heard of the drug, asking if it was real. The justices seemed skeptical of challenges to the law's constitutionality, drawing parallels to everyday drug use to test the limits of Second Amendment rights, as reported in SCOTUSblog's live coverage.But that's just one front. Trump's unilateral military strike on Iran has sparked a firestorm over war powers. The New York Times' Charlie Savage detailed how accusations are flying that Trump violated the Constitution by launching the operation without congressional approval. It's reignited the age-old debate on who controls America's war machine—presidents have done it before, but critics say this crosses a line, paving the way for broader Supreme Court scrutiny.Over in the D.C. Circuit, things got wild with those executive orders targeting law firms like Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, and Susman Godfrey. Trump hit them hard—terminating government contracts, yanking security clearances, barring access to federal buildings—because they represented his opponents, worked on voting rights, or challenged his 2020 election efforts. District judges, including Beryl Howell, called it chilling, a First Amendment nightmare that could scare lawyers from tough cases. The Justice Department stunned everyone by moving to dismiss the appeals on Monday, a huge win for the firms and the rule of law. But Tuesday, they flipped, filing to revive the fights without explanation. Democracy Docket reports the firms fired back, urging the court to reject the about-face. Pro-democracy watchers are alarmed—this isn't just about contracts; it's whether a president can weaponize government against his legal foes.Meanwhile, the Federal Circuit shot down the Trump team's plea to delay a tariff refund case by up to four months. After the Supreme Court's February 20 ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act doesn't let presidents slap on tariffs willy-nilly, Trump vented on social media about rehearing it. Bloomberg's Zoe Tillman notes the administration argued complexity demands caution, but companies are pushing back, saying delays hurt. Trump responded by imposing 10 percent tariffs on all countries starting February 24 using other laws, per Holland & Knight analysis.Down in New York, a federal court in the Southern District smacked down Trump's bid to kill the city's Congestion Pricing program. Earthjustice, representing Riders Alliance and Sierra Club alongside the MTA, won summary judgment. U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman ruled Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy couldn't override the democratic process that approved the tolls, which have cleaned the air, sped up streets, boosted transit, and added millions to the economy despite Trump's "disaster" label.And that's not all—Lawfare's tracker logs 298 active cases challenging Trump actions, from national security to the Alien Enemies Act deportations. State courts are buzzing too, with oral arguments on ghost guns and DOJ voter data grabs. Whew, listeners, these past few days have been a legal whirlwind, testing the courts like never before.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

He previews interviews with Iranian-born U.S. citizens and foreign policy experts, underscoring the broader Middle East strategy under President Trump. Hans von Spakovsky joins to explain the president's constitutional authority, the War Powers Resolution, and congressional limitations, while also discussing election security legislation and recent Supreme Court timelines. The hour emphasizes legal, strategic, and political dimensions of U.S. actions abroad and at home.

President Trump has ordered strikes on Iran. In this episode, scholar Randall Fowler discusses how we got to this critical moment. He examines the history of U.S.–Iran relations — from the 1953 coup and the 1979 Islamic Revolution to sanctions, nuclear diplomacy, and today’s military action — with a focus on how each American president shaped the path to this moment.

In Episode 46 of OnlyLands, hosted by a full-blown menagerie of Badlands Media hosts, the chaos is immediate and relentless. Zak kicks things off with a nightmare roof leak involving solar panels, bankrupt warranties, and a bathroom exhaust vent that was never actually vented. From there, the crew spirals into FDA “allowable maggots,” pigeon-infused cornstarch processing, and whether beard oil might secretly be an aphrodisiac. They dissect Bill Clinton's carefully worded Epstein testimony, debate whether Gavin Newsom's awkward pandering was racist or just condescending, and question why public trust keeps collapsing at every institutional level. There's a deep dive into taxation, borrowing, and Spooner's eternal relevance, plus a detour into marble music machines and spinning-neck guitars. It's equal parts philosophy, comedy, conspiracy, and beard maintenance. As always, nothing is safe — not politicians, not Neanderthals, and definitely not boar bristle brushes.

U.S. Presidents are transported in some of the safest, most technologically advanced vehicles in the world. White House Historical Association President Stewart McLaurin visited the United States Secret Service James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland to get a very special look at "The Beast," the affectionate nickname given by the press when the first generation of General Motors' custom-built Cadillac presidential limousines debuted in 2001. The presidential limousine has come a long way since 1909 when Congress appropriated funds for President William Howard Taft to purchase the first two White House motor cars. Stewart sits down with John Bush, the Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Division for the United States Secret Service, who recently retired after 24 years of service. John was part of the transportation detail that drove President Obama, and was in the front seat of the limo carrying Presidents Biden and Trump on Inauguration Day 2025. The interview was recorded in the Robert Diehl Historic Garage in front of several generations of presidential vehicles including limousines used by Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as other escort vehicles used in presidential motorcades.

U.S. Presidents are transported in some of the safest, most technologically advanced vehicles in the world. White House Historical Association President Stewart McLaurin visited the United States Secret Service James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland to get a very special look at "The Beast," the affectionate nickname given by the press when the first generation of General Motors' custom-built Cadillac presidential limousines debuted in 2001. The presidential limousine has come a long way since 1909 when Congress appropriated funds for President William Howard Taft to purchase the first two White House motor cars. Stewart sits down with John Bush, the Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Division for the United States Secret Service, who recently retired after 24 years of service. John was part of the transportation detail that drove President Obama, and was in the front seat of the limo carrying Presidents Biden and Trump on Inauguration Day 2025. The interview was recorded in the Robert Diehl Historic Garage in front of several generations of presidential vehicles including limousines used by Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as other escort vehicles used in presidential motorcades.

Last week, Rev. Jesse Jackson, a national Civil Rights leader and former Presidential candidate, passed away at the age of 84. While Jackson was a national figure, he had a big impact on New York politics during his presidential runs in the 80s, leading some to believe he paved the way for New York to soon after elect its first Black mayor, David Dinkins. Arun Venugopal, senior reporter for the WNYC Race & Justice Unit, reflects on Jackson's impact on New York and discusses his recent Gothamist article, "From Dinkins to Zohran: Jesse Jackson's NYC political legacy."

Today on Stinchfield we expose the attempted Deep State disruption. A failed sabotage of President Trumps State of the Union Address. Viewers immediately noticed irregular audio levels and what sounded like deliberate over modulation of President Trump’s microphone, a tactic aimed at undermining the power of Trumps spoken word. There are NO mistakes in Washington, the annoying peaking audio levels was by design and someone needs to be fired over it. It should serve as a reminder that President Trump's political opposition doesn’t just sit across the aisle, it lurks inside the broken wheels of government itself. Still, Tuesday night will go down as one of the most defining moments of the modern political era. President Trump delivered what may have been the greatest State of the Union address of his career. The tone was confident. Measured. Presidential. But when it needed to be, it was also razor sharp. Over modulation or not. He didn’t just speak to the American people. He exposed the opposition in real time. And then came the moment no one will ever forget. When President Trump asked members of Congress to stand if they believe in putting the safety of American citizens first… Democrats stayed seated. Let that sink in. Border security. Law enforcement. Protecting families from violent crime. And they refused to stand. It wasn’t partisan politics. It was a defining image. One that told the entire country exactly where each party stands. The contrast could not have been clearer:America First versus America Last. We break down the strategy behind the speech, why the tone was pitch perfect, and how Trump once again forced Democrats to reveal themselves on the national stage.

Laden with fiction and heavy blame aimed at Democrats, President Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in history — a sprawling, combative marathon marked by sharp mood swings, sweeping claims, and flashes of visible frustration. Familiar boasts about prices, trade, and foreign policy collided with a reality critics say doesn't match the facts, while a late-stage retirement account proposal appeared unlikely to gain traction. Was this a show of dominance — or a speech revealing political vulnerability? We break down what mattered, what didn't, and what it signals moving forward.Presidential historian John Rothmann joins to breakdown Trump's State of the Union speech. The Mark Thompson Show 2/25/26Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

This week we talk about Trump's tariffs, the Supreme Court, and negotiating leverage.We also discuss trade wars, Greenland, and the IEEPA.Recommended Book: Smoke and Ashes by Amitav GhoshTranscriptI've spoken on this show before about tariffs and about US President Trump's enthusiasm for tariffs as an underpinning of his trade policy. Last October, back in 2025 I did an episode on tariff leverage and why the concept of an ongoing trade war is so appealing to Trump—it basically gives him a large whammy on anyone he enters negotiations with, because the US market is massive and everyone wants access to it, and tariffs allow him to bring the hammer down on anyone he doesn't like, or who doesn't kowtow in what he deems to be an appropriate manner.So he can slap a large tariff on steel or pharmaceuticals or cars from whichever country he likes just before he enters negotiations with that country, and then those negotiations open with him in an advantageous spot: they have to give him things just to get those tariffs to go away—they have to negotiate just to get things back to square one.That's how it's supposed to work, anyway. What we talked about a bit back in October is TACO theory, TACO standing for Trump Always Chickens Out—the idea is that other world leaders had gotten wise to Trump's strategy, which hasn't changed since his first administration, and he has mostly been a doubling-down on that one, primary approach, to the point that they can step into these negotiations, come up with something to give him that allows him to claim that he's won, to make it look like he negotiated well, and then they get things back down to a more reasonable level; maybe not square one, but not anything world-ending, and not anything they weren't prepared and happy to give up.In some cases, though, instead of kowtowing in this way so that Trump can claim a victory, whether or not a victory was actually tallied, some countries and industries and the businesses that make up those industries have simply packed up their ball and gone home.China has long served as a counterbalance to the US in terms of being a desirable market and a hugely influential player across basically every aspect of geopolitics and the global economy, and this oppositional, antagonistic approach to trade has made the US less appealing as a trade partner, and China more appealing in comparison.So some of these entities have negotiated to a level where they could still ship their stuff to the US and US citizens would still be willing to pay what amounts to an extra tax on all these goods, because that's how tariffs work, that fee is paid by the consumers, not by the businesses or the origin countries, but others have given up and redirected their goods to other places. And while that's a big lift sometimes, the persistence of this aggression and antagonism has made it a worthwhile investment for many of these entities, because the US has become so unpredictable and unreliable that it's just not worth the headache anymore.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent Supreme Court decision related to Trump's tariffs, and what looks likely to happen next, in the wake of that ruling.—Ever since Trump stepped back into office for his second term, in January of 2025, he has aggressively instilled new and ever-growing tariffs on basically everyone, but on some of the US's most important trade partners, like Mexico and Canada, in particular.These tariffs have varied and compounded, and they've applied to strategic goods that many US presidents have tried to hobble in various ways, favoring US-made versions of steel and microchips, for instance, so that local makers of these things have an advantage over their foreign-made alternatives, or have a more balanced shot against alternatives made in parts of the world where labor is cheaper and standards are different.But this new wave of tariffs were broad based, hitting everyone to some degree, and that pain was often taken away, at least a little, after leaders kowtowed, at times even giving him literal gold-plated gifts in order to curry favor, and/or funneling money into his family's private companies and other interests, allowing him to use these tariffs as leverage for personal gain, not just national advantage, in other cases giving him what at least looked outwardly to be a negotiating win.Things spiraled pretty quickly by mid-2025, when China pushed back against these tariffs, adding their own reciprocal tariffs on US goods, and at one point extra duties on Chinese imports coming into the US hit 145%.Shortly thereafter, though, and here we see that TACO acronym proving true, once again, Trump agreed to slash these tariffs for 90 days, and around the same time, in May of 2025, a federal appeals court temporarily reinstated some of Trump's largest-scale tariffs after a lower court ruled that they couldn't persist.The remainder of 2025 was a story of Trump trying to strike individual deals with a bunch of trade partners, like South Korea, Indonesia, and India, in some cases via direct negotiation, in others with a bunch of threats that eventually led to a sort of mutual standoff that no one was particularly happy about.2026 was greeted with a threat by Trump to impose a huge wave of new tariffs on eight major European allies, those tariffs sticking around until these nations agreed to allow the US to buy Greenland, which was an obsession of Trump's at that point, but a lot of Trump's tariff posturing was derailed by a Supreme Court decision that landed in mid-February, in which the justices decided, 6 to 3, that Trump's reciprocal tariffs are unconstitutional, as setting and changing tariffs is a Congressional power, not a Presidential one.This was a serious blow to Trump and his stated policies, as pretty much all of his economic plans oriented around the idea—which most economists have said is bunk and based on fantasy, not reality, but still—that putting a bunch of tariffs on everything will allow the US to earn so much additional revenue that the deficit can be paid down.It's worth noting here that, just as those economists predicted, the deficit has only gotten larger under both Trump administrations, and in fact the growth of the US debt has sped up, not declined, despite the additional billions being pulled into government coffers by these tariffs, because the Trump administration's spending is massive, and because the losses related to tariffs are also significant. But tariffs remain center to his policy nonetheless, so this was a major blow.This ruling also seemed likely to defang a lot of Trump's threats and drain his leverage at the negotiating table, as he could no longer threaten everyone with more tariffs, practically booting them from or weakening them on the US market.So Trump was pissed, and as he tends to do, he publicly raged about the decision, which was made by a Supreme Court that is heavily stacked in his favor; which gives an indication of just how unpopular and unconstitutional all of this has been.But immediately after that decision landed, he announced that, using alternative authorities—different powers—he would be imposing a blanket 10% tariff on everything coming into the US, and the following day announced that it would be a 15% tariff on everything, instead.This does seem to be something Trump has the power to do, but he can only do it under the auspices of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, and these tariffs will only last for 150 days, max, and might also be challenged in court.Also notably, some entities, like Britain and Australia, will face higher rates than they faced under the previous tariff setup, because of how they are applied and compound with other trade barriers, or the nature of what they export to the US market, while others, including China, will see their tariffs substantially drop.Which could make things tricky, as that implies some of the previously negotiated deals have changed post-deal, or in some cases mid-negotiation; which means a lot more work to get things where everyone wants them, but also a loss of legitimacy and credibility for this administration, as they seem to be negotiating using powers they don't actually have and making promises they can't keep.All of which, rather than simplifying and clarifying things for the US market and our international trade partners, actually further complicates them, at least for now, until the dust settles.It does seem likely Trump's administration will continue to try to leverage whatever power they can in this matter, grabbing at levers that haven't been previously used, or used in this way, and those attempts will almost certainly be legally challenged, which could lead to more court cases, and a lot more uncertainty in the meantime, until those cases are figured it.It's also created new rifts within the Republican party, as Trump seems to be going after those who voted against his tariffs, or in any other way supported their removal, and he's raged against the Supreme Court justices, even those he put into place and who are ideologically aligned with the Republican party almost always, which could also lead to more fracturing within his base, leading up to the November 2026 Congressional elections.One more thing that's worth noting here is that Trump's usual tactic of trying to distract from things he doesn't want people to pay attention to is in full operation following this court case: as all this has been happening, and against the backdrop of increasingly serious allegations related to his abundant presence in the Epstein files, he's been talking more about potentially attacking Iran and releasing files on aliens, on extraterrestrials on Earth and in the US.So we're likely to see a lot more of that sort of thing in the coming months, especially if things continue to not go his way in regards to these tariffs and the hubbub surrounding them, but this story will shape global and US economics for years to come, not to mention on-the-ground realities for many people today, which should substantially impact Trump's popularity and voter behavior come November.Show Noteshttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/supreme-court-trump-energy-tariffshttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-tariff-plan-section-122-trade-acthttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-scotus-tariff-refund-battlehttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/economy/trump-tariffs-trade-war.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/business/trump-tariffs-japan-indonesia.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/us/politics/supreme-court-trump-tariffs-takeaways.htmlhttps://apnews.com/live/supreme-court-tariff-ruling-updateshttps://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0l9r67drg7thttps://heatmap.news/economy/clean-energy-tariff-rulinghttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/20/us/trump-tariffs-supreme-courthttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/supreme-court-blocks-trumps-emergency-tariffs-billions-in-refunds-may-be-owed/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/20/what-will-happen-to-trump-tariffs-after-supreme-court-verdicthttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/economy/tariffs-supreme-court-global-busines-reaction.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/trump-deminimis-loophole-closed.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-5b34aa80-2020-453a-bef1-8cf648e9b3c3.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-tariff-plan-section-122-trade-acthttps://www.scotusblog.com/2026/02/supreme-court-strikes-down-tariffs/https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump-supreme-court-tariffs-ieepa-john-roberts-brett-kavanaugh-90daf559https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1287_4gcj.pdfhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/us/politics/supreme-court-tariffs-conservatives.htmlhttps://www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-manufacturing-is-in-retreat-and-trumps-tariffs-arent-helping-d2af4316https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state-us-tariffs-scotus-ruling-updatehttps://www.kielinstitut.de/fileadmin/Dateiverwaltung/IfW-Publications/fis-import/92fb3f30-07b8-4dcf-b2bc-fbefb831f1a1-KPB201_EN.pdfhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-a-temporary-import-duty-to-address-fundamental-international-payment-problems/https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/tariff-refunds-supreme-court-trump-rcna259968https://www.wsj.com/opinion/its-the-end-of-the-beginning-of-the-tariff-war-88a08d37https://www.axios.com/2026/02/21/trump-tariff-supreme-court-increasehttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/21/alien-files-conspiracy-theories-usa This is a public episode.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Melting ICE? The Trump administration’s announcement—reinforced by Tom Homan—that Minnesota’s ICE surge operation is being scaled down after a “mission accomplished”‑style success. Clay and Buck outline how Minneapolis quietly reached a handshake agreement to reverse sanctuary‑style resistance and begin alerting ICE when violent illegal immigrants are taken into custody, a major policy pivot after years of non‑cooperation. The hosts warn that activist “street harpies,” Antifa‑aligned groups, and left‑wing organizers may try to replicate Minneapolis’s obstruction tactics in other liberal cities. They also dive deep into the political consequences, arguing that Tim Walz’s political career is effectively over, and preview competitive 2026 races—especially the Minnesota Senate race, where Michelle Tafoya trails by just a few points. MASA: Make America Smart Again A major interview featuring U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, who outlines several key initiatives aimed at reshaping American education during the lead‑up to America’s 250th anniversary. A major focus of the conversation is the newly launched Presidential 1776 Award, a national civics and history competition created to reverse declining historical literacy among young Americans. McMahon explains that students will take a 90‑minute “Impossible Test” of 4,000 rapid‑fire questions, advancing through three rounds for scholarships of up to $150,000. Clay and Buck enthusiastically offer to take the test themselves—joking about challenging media figures—and highlight how this effort aligns with a broader push to revive foundational American history. The interview expands into President Trump’s education reform strategy, which aims to return educational authority to the states by dismantling federal bureaucracy and moving Department of Education functions to other agencies. McMahon emphasizes that despite more than $3 trillion spent since the Department’s creation in 1980, national test scores have declined—proving that centralized control has failed. She highlights the “Mississippi Miracle,” where the state dramatically boosted literacy by reinstating phonics‑based “science of reading” instruction, prompting other states to adopt similar reforms. She also discusses school innovation across the country—from classical academies to AI‑driven models like Austin’s Alpha School—and her goal of producing a best‑practices toolkit for all fifty states. The hour then pivots sharply to controversial school protests in Minneapolis, where staff and administrators walked out during political demonstrations, prompting criticism that public schools behave as “shock troops” for far‑left activism. McMahon signals that such closures could invite federal investigation or funding consequences, especially given Minnesota’s already weak academic performance. Clay and Buck follow with a broader critique of America’s K–12 system—calling it a glorified daycare model that prioritizes union demands over student outcomes—while advocating for parental empowerment, school choice, and more flexible education pathways. Another Trans Shooter A major conversation on rising violence involving transgender-identifying shooters, sparked by news of a British Columbia mass shooting. The hosts link this to previous attacks in Minneapolis and Nashville, arguing that the media and police distort facts by prioritizing preferred pronouns over biological accuracy. The transcript includes an extended critique of mental‑health issues, hormonal drugs, and the cultural narrative that non‑affirmation constitutes “genocide,” which the hosts argue contributes to radicalization among vulnerable individuals. They highlight the police’s admission that the Canadian shooter was biologically male, despite earlier claims of “female,” and examine concerns about public safety, media bias, and political correctness. Jesse Kelly Hangs With Us Jesse Kelly, host of The Jesse Kelly Show and author of the newly released Jesse’s Little Red Book opens the hour with their signature banter—roasting each other’s haircuts, mustaches, and Super Bowl party choices—before diving into deeper political and cultural issues shaping the country under President Donald Trump. A major segment centers on Jesse Kelly’s new book, which he describes as a free, 93‑page collection of his insights on politics, culture, party dynamics, and even food. From there, the hosts pivot into a fiery discussion of the Jeffrey Epstein hearings, expressing frustration that self‑identified victims continue holding press events without naming alleged abusers. The conversation compares the situation to the trajectory of the Me Too movement, arguing that legitimate victim advocacy has been diluted by performative claims, opportunism, and media manipulation. The political analysis intensifies as the hosts look ahead to Election 2026, with Jesse predicting that Republicans may lose the House but retain the Senate, depending largely on the strength of the economy and whether “normie voters” feel financial relief in their everyday lives. The hour also features a humorous cultural debate after Clay proposes that Taylor Swift may be evolving into the “21st‑century Beatles,” prompting Jesse’s mock‑therapeutic concern and Buck’s acknowledgment of Swift’s global cultural dominance.
