In today's episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, we examine a growing national tension: what happens when the enforcement of federal law becomes a political flashpoint.From Minnesota to Washington, debates over immigration enforcement, federal authority, and local resistance are no longer just policy disagreements — they are tests of constitutional order, sovereignty, and public trust.Doug breaks down how law, legitimacy, and narrative collide in moments of national stress, why selective enforcement erodes civic stability, and what history shows happens when legal authority becomes negotiable.This is not about headlines. It's about the structure underneath them.Believe it. For the Republic! Cheers.Support the show
US federal immigration raids continue in Minnesota, and the operation has set the stage for a standoff between state officials and the federal government. Governor Tim Walz has readied Minnesota's national guard, while the Pentagon has ordered troops to be on standby. A 2024 University of Pennsylvania simulation warned that similar state-federal standoffs could escalate into broader armed conflict.

Many of us did not know about USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) until it came under scrutiny by the White House's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in its recent cost-cutting efforts. USAID is—or was—the principal U.S. agency to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms. While the constitutionality of DOGE's actions effectively curtailing USAID's efforts work their way through the courts, we invite you to hear a personal perspective from someone whose work was primarily funded by USAID and who experienced first-hand the impact of USAID's rule of law programs around the world during the past 30 years. Mary Noel Pepys will provide an overview of her pro bono work in former communist countries, where she served as the rule of law liaison for the American Bar Association's Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative. She will discuss the challenges of assisting nations in their transition from communism to democracy, including efforts to strengthen the rule of law and promote judicial independence. Mary Noel Pepys is a senior attorney specializing in the rule of law, specifically international legal and judicial reform. Since 1993 she has helped emerging democracies develop justice systems that ensure the protection of citizens' human rights, equal treatment of all individuals before the law, and a predictable legal structure with fair, transparent and effective government institutions.

What does a fallen state actually look like? According to Todd Huff, it looks a lot like what's unfolding right now in Minnesota. In this episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd breaks down a deadly ICE-related shooting, the coordinated efforts to interfere with federal law enforcement, and the reckless rhetoric coming from state and city leaders. From comparisons of ICE to Nazi occupation to organized Signal groups allegedly working to obstruct federal operations, the situation is spiraling fast. Todd explains why this moment didn't happen overnight, how decades of moral decay and political indoctrination led us here, and why conservatives can no longer afford apathy. This is a sobering, urgent conversation about law, order, truth, and the fight to preserve the constitutional republic.

Professor Kim Scheppele has spent much of her career watching democracies rise and fall. She went to Hungary in the early 1990s expecting to study democratic optimism after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Instead, decades later, she found herself documenting how constitutional democracy can be dismantled from the inside out.That experience frames a wide-ranging conversation on the latest episode of Stanford Legal, where host Professor Pam Karlan speaks with Scheppele, the Lawrence S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs at Princeton and a visiting professor at Stanford Law School, about how democracies crumble, and why the United States is not exempt.Drawing on years of on-the-ground research in Hungary, Russia, and other countries, Scheppele explains a central shift in democratic collapse: it no longer arrives through overt rupture, but through elections followed by legal and constitutional maneuvering. Leaders campaign as democrats, win office, and then use technical changes to the law, including court rules, budgetary controls, and civil-service structures, to weaken checks and rig the system in their favor.The discussion turns to the United States, examining how party polarization, shifting institutional loyalties, and expanding claims of executive power have made familiar safeguards less reliable than many assumed.Links:Kim Scheppele >>> Stanford Law 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 (00:00:00) Learning in Wartime: A scholar's antidote to the “cataract of nonsense”(00:08:17) Patterns abroad and at home—are U.S. checks in danger?(00:15:04) Naming the playbook(00:32:07) More litigation—access, risk, and the pace of change(00:32:39) Restoring democracy through law Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Accountability is finally knocking—and Minnesota is ground zero. Today, Todd Huff breaks down the FBI's grand jury subpoenas targeting top Minnesota officials accused of obstructing ICE operations. As Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey face serious scrutiny, the predictable narrative is already forming: cries that this is “Trump targeting political enemies.”Todd explains why context matters, why this isn't political persecution but lawful enforcement, and why California could be next. From radical anti-ICE protests to the troubling role of activist media figures, this episode exposes how lawlessness has been normalized—and why justice feels shocking to a culture conditioned to reject truth. Accountability isn't tyranny. It's the rule of law returning.

In this episode, Chris unpacks how a Trump-linked oil trader secured the deal, why the proceeds were routed through Qatar instead of U.S. banks, and what that means for companies that won court judgments after Venezuela seized their assets. By sending the money offshore—out of reach of U.S. courts—the deal appears to sidestep the rule of law and stiff legitimate creditors. The result? A chilling message to investors: contracts don't matter, court victories don't count, and political connections trump property rights. If you were running an oil company, would you ever invest there again?
Today on The Right Side with Doug Billings, we go underneath the headlines to the structure that drives them: authority—where it comes from, how it's restrained, and what happens when the system is tested.We start at home with the architecture of American federalism—why power flows upward from the people, downward through institutions, and how the Constitution deliberately divides authority to prevent it from becoming automatic.Then we move onto the world stage: why Greenland and the Arctic suddenly matter (and what “quiet geography” tells you about shifting global strategy), how Iran and energy markets function as a form of global leverage, and why China's influence-building often shows up in infrastructure, standards, and systems—not speeches.Then, we slow down and clarify what the Insurrection Act actually is (and what it is not), why it exists, and why precision matters when people throw around terms like “emergency powers.”Finally, we bring it home to your life and your future: markets, confidence, volatility, and long-term planning with Brent Ewert, President of Community Financial Services Group—what headlines miss, what signals matter, and how to think clearly in an unstable world.We're in this together, folks.

Governor Tim Walz is quickly becoming the most dangerous governor in America—and Minnesota is paying the price. In today's episode of The Todd Huff Show, we break down the escalating chaos unfolding in Minneapolis as ICE officers are ambushed, federal law enforcement is attacked, and radical activists openly call for militancy “by any means necessary.”Todd explains how reckless rhetoric from state leadership is encouraging lawlessness, undermining the rule of law, and setting the stage for a constitutional crisis. We also examine the growing calls for invoking the Insurrection Act, the media narrative surrounding ICE enforcement, and why enforcing federal immigration law is not “retribution”—it's the job of government.This episode is a sober warning about where unchecked political radicalism leads—and why this moment matters for the future of the republic.

Justice is not about liking the outcome. It is about trusting the process. In this short clip from What Is Justice Part 3, Joyce Gist Lewis defines justice as access to be heard and accountability to objective standards rooted in the Constitution, statutes, and case law. Even when lawyers disagree on results, justice is served when rules are followed and decisions are informed.

In this episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, we examine a hard truth: much of the disorder we're living through is not random—it's the outcome of deliberate incentives.We break down the ICE detainer conflict, why “temporary” systems quietly become permanent, how institutional capture spreads, and why collapsing regimes—at home and abroad—get louder as they lose control. We close with the core principle: calm, informed citizens are extremely hard to manipulate.We're in this together, folks. Believe it. For the Republic!

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I continue confronting the mess America is in: why the Epstein list must be made public, why powerful elites must be held accountable, and why endless foreign entanglements only weaken our already weak nation.

In its first year, the second Trump Administration slashed environmental regulations and programs, overstepping its executive authority in the eyes of some environmental advocates. But the judicial and legislative branches appear unable or unwilling to provide a check on what legal expert Pat Parenteau sees is abusive executive power threatening the health of people and planet. Also, the American prairie is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world, but today just one percent of eastern tallgrass prairie remains, and western shortgrass prairie is disappearing at a rate of more than a million acres a year. The author of Sea of Grass: The Conquest, Ruin, and Redemption of Nature on the American Prairie joins us to discuss. And efforts to bring back bison that once roamed those plains are helping to revive Indigenous culture on lands across the US West, including in the city of Denver. --- If you're not yet signed up for the Living on Earth newsletter, the start of the new year is a great time to join!

'BradCast' 1/8/2026: Trump to U.N., Rule of Law, World: DROP DEAD by Progressive Voices
Election fraud is exploding back into the spotlight as President Trump floods social media with hard-hitting clips calling the 2020 election "the greatest theft in U.S. history" and demands Republicans immediately abolish mass mail-in voting. We break down his direct message to the GOP, the viral White House post on Mike Pence's "betrayal," and the chilling "This is How They Stole It" video that's lighting up feeds. Plus, we expose the chaos in Minneapolis of an ICE-involved shooting where video clearly shows a woman ramming an agent, yet Ilhan Omar calls her a "legal observer" and Mayor Frey tells ICE to get out fueling protests and proving anti-ICE rhetoric has real consequences.Brooklyn prosecutor Michael F. Vecchione, former Chief of Homicide & Rackets who took down corrupt judges and politicians, joins us to dissect the airtight federal case against Nicolás Maduro. From narco-terrorism and life-sentence charges to the notorious conditions at MDC Brooklyn where Maduro is held pretrial, Vecchione reveals how prosecutors build unbreakable corruption cases against heads of state, the defense strategies Maduro might try, and why this historic prosecution could reshape U.S.-Venezuela relations forever.We close with the massive Minnesota welfare fraud hearings blowing up on Capitol Hill Rep. Brandon Gill grilling former DOJ prosecutor Brendan Ballou, Keith Ellison downplaying billions stolen, and even Somalia's UN ambassador tied to Medicaid scams. Elon Musk on Joe Rogan calls out Democrat voting fraud, while Friday's explosive episode tease with David Clements (The Professor) and Raul's documents promises to drop jaw-dropping evidence on overseas voter ID laundering.

We live, my fellow Americans, in the greatest nation in the history of mankind. There is not, nor has there ever been, a nation like:THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.Never.It is a nation conceived in freedom. It treasures and fosters democracy. It is a constitutional nation, and it is a nation where, as Dr. Martin Luther King so well said, if in fact its citizens live up to its constitution, treasure it, believe in it, and enforce it, all men and women who are created equal can live a life to the fullest.AMERICA. What is America to you? Do you understand your country, your nation, its history, its purpose and meaning, the reality of the:REAL AMERICA?Do you? Right-thinking men and women thank God every day, EVERYDAY, for the privilege of living in America and being an American. Do you? Are you a grateful citizen, are you proud to be an American, and since this great country can do so much for you, remember the words of President John F. Kennedy, who admonished us to:ASK NOT WHAT AMERICA CAN DO FOR YOUASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR AMERICA!That in my opinion should be the motto of every real American.THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. Please read it. Do your best to understand it. Study anything which helps you understand the incredible rights, privileges, and duties which are yours as a citizen and as an American. Think always about the First Amendment to that Constitution, perhaps the finest words, rights, privileges, opportunities, and expressions of freedom ever written in the history of mankind. The First Amendment of America's Constitution allows you full and unabridged freedom of:RELIGIONSPEECHPRESSASSEMBLYPETITIONThese precious freedoms are the very best that can be offered to any human being and they are essential, priorities, GUARANTEED to every man and woman by this Constitution and its very precious First Amendment. Read it, know it, treasure it, and thank God for it.RULE OF LAW. It is watered down, ignored, or even eliminated in this woke and radical, anti-American day and age. Lawlessness in the end times, says the scripture, prevails and runs rampant. That is happening today. Stand up, my fellow Americans, to lawlessness and insist upon the rule of law, insist upon the concept of:JUSTICE FOR ALL.There is risk in so doing, but the reward is well worth the risk.RIGHT AND WRONG. There are those today that think there is no such thing as right and wrong. There is no absolute truth. This is the day and age of:THE LIE.We live in an age which many describe as:POST TRUTH.That is, we live in a culture where there is no such thing as absolute truth and consequently, the lie, that which is not truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, is the law of the land. WRONG, dead wrong. There is right and wrong, there is truth, and never forget in this great year 2026, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ:I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!I AM THE TRUTH!Believe in Him and you will know the truth indeed.STAND. Stand tall for America. Protect it. Founding Fathers were willing to die for it. Are you? Am I? Are there enough Americans left who are willing to do whatever is required to protect and defend the greatest land in the history of mankind?So much of the world despises, even hates America. Perhaps that is because we live hypocritically, we do not stand tall for our ideals, our freedoms, and our way of life, and we are not consistent, constantly compromising, and so often not holding individuals and nations accountable for their actions. We the People need to redefine who we are as a nation, make those ideals, values, and standards clear, and stand for them no matter the cost, now more than ever in the great year 2026.POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT. We the People need to be far more politically involved. Especially Christian citizens. We need to be active in government. We need to take positions of authority locally and to make certain our neighborhoods, towns, andcities, are safe, law-abiding, and true to American ideals, its constitution, rule of law, and way of life.WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP!We need to make certain right-thinking and right-acting men and women are elected to office, who will truly represent us, and even more importantly, our Constitution, rule of law, and all that America should be.WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT HAPPENS!If not, we need to speak out critically so, aggressively, withhold financing, and our vote, and where necessary, exercise the process of recall and do whatever we can to get elected or appointed officials unworthy of citizen trust out of office and authority.WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!Woke, the progressive, the anti-American: they are everywhere, EVERYWHERE! They are determined to effectuate radical change or even in so many cases, the destruction of the American way of life. They would water down or eliminate much of our Constitution, curtail our freedoms, control family and education, and change the way we live, think, and believe.DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN MY FELLOW AMERICANS, DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN!Time is short. America needs right-thinking Americans in action now more than ever.PRIDE. Be proud in 2026 to be an American. Be proud to be a citizen of the real America, the constitutional America, with its freedoms, and be proud to stand tall as America beckons, asking you now more than ever to be a soldier in the fight for freedom.Wear the flag, salute the military, proudly sing, and respect the National Anthem:STAND UP FOR AMERICA.Pray that God will bless America, convicted of its wrong doings, and once again make it the city on the hill, the shining light among nations, a country safe and protected for us today and for our descendants tomorrow. Let us proudly sing in 2026:GOD BLESS AMERICALAND THAT I LOVE!

But there are so many points of light on the legal front amidst the Trump-induced darkness. Glenn sat down with the Culpeper County Democratic Committee to discuss the legal issues of the day. This is part two of a three-part series of his extended chat with the Culpeper Dems, focusing on how federal judges nationwide are standing strong and ruling against Trump's lawless and unconstitutional acts. Thank you to Team Justice member Leo for video and editing work on this project.

As 2025 comes to a close, Todd Huff breaks down the five most consequential stories that will shape America not just next year, but for years to come. This isn't a simple year-in-review — it's a forward-looking analysis of the events already changing the political, economic, and cultural trajectory of the nation. From redistricting battles and economic recovery to border enforcement, the return of Donald Trump to the White House, and the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, Todd explains why these moments matter far beyond the headlines. Plus, honorable mentions that nearly made the list, including the administrative state, judicial overreach, foreign policy shifts, and restoring law and order. Clear-eyed analysis, big-picture thinking, and unapologetic conservative truth.

Across the globe, democracy is in crisis - in the UK alone, it has been rocked by Brexit, the pandemic and successive attempts by governments to bypass legal norms. But how did this happen, and where might we go from here? Jonathan Sumption cuts through the political noise with acute analysis of the state of democracy today - from the vulnerabilities of international law to the deepening suppression of democracy activism in Hong Kong, and from the complexities of human rights legislation to the defence of freedom of speech. Timely, incisive and wholly original, Challenges of Democracy: And the Rule of Law (Profile Books, 2026) applies the brilliance of 'the cleverest man in Britain' to the most urgent and far-reaching political issue of our day. Jonathan Sumption is a British judge and historian, who served as a Supreme Court Justice for six years. He is the author of the Sunday Times Bestseller Trials of the State, Law in a Time of Crisis, and Divided Houses, which won the 2009 Wolfson History Prize. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written for Chatham House's International Affairs, the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History and the University of Rouen's online periodical Cercles.

Ho ho ho...gan Lovells merging. ----- A critical analysis of the best variety of Coca-Cola product gives way to a conversation about law this week. Cadwalader ends its tumultuous year -- involving a Trump administration capitulation and a series of defections -- with a big quasi-transatlantic merger announcement with cross-Pond Hogan Lovells. Christmas came early -- to the extent anyone thinks of U.S. News law school rankings as "Christmas" -- with a prediction about the new law school pecking order. And it looks like garbage at a time when those rankings may be more important than ever. Also, ICE appears to be publishing an enemies list? That doesn't seem great. All that and some thoughts on Alan Dershowitz writing a new book suggesting Trump might be able to get a third term despite the clear text of the Constitution.
President Trump's administration selectively decides how to apply the rule of law; why America's affordability crisis isn't a ‘hoax;' former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee warns of consequences from Trump's disinformation on climate change To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

What happens to a community when the border system breaks down — and what does it look like when order is restored? In this episode of American Potential, host David travels to Yuma, Arizona, to speak with Mayor Douglas Nicholls, who shares firsthand insight into the strain massive border crossings placed on his community and what life looks like now as crossings have dramatically declined. Mayor Nicholls discusses the impact on local law enforcement, emergency services, nonprofits, and residents, as well as the humanitarian toll on migrants caught in cartel-controlled systems. He explains why chaos at the border harms everyone involved — and why the rule of law, legal immigration, and secure borders are essential to protecting both people and communities. This conversation offers a rare, on-the-ground perspective from a border-town mayor who has lived the reality most Americans only see from afar.
