They discuss constitutional limits, the 10th Amendment, and questions around federal intervention in places like Chicago.

Marc brings on Hans von Spakovsky from Heritage to cut through the media spin on Texas redistricting. While Democrats cry foul, Hans points out that Republicans are redrawing four districts only because a federal court ruled the original Democrat-pushed maps were unconstitutional racial gerrymanders. Marc and Hans torch the hypocrisy, citing states like Massachusetts and Connecticut where Republicans make up 35–40% of voters yet hold zero congressional seats thanks to Democrat gerrymandering. They also pivot to Trump's federal takeover of D.C., clarifying that while his unique authority there doesn't extend to other cities, he can still deploy ICE, FBI, and even the National Guard to crack down on lawlessness elsewhere. The two highlight how staged “anti-ICE” protests—like those inside Home Depot—expose the left's alliance with illegal hiring practices and professional protest machines.

On January 20th, 2025, President Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by executive order. DOGE and its head, Elon Musk, hope to reduce the size and inefficiencies of the administrative state and return the federal bureaucracy to being accountable to the President and, ultimately, the people. While the scope and extent of this mission are still to be determined, one of DOGE’s early endeavors is to dramatically reduce the number of civil service employees determined to be unnecessary or wasteful. While many are vocal in their support of these actions, they are not without pushback, including several legal challenges. What is DOGE, and are its structure and actions legal? Where does the power to remove civil servants rest? Are there limits to that power? What impacts will their removals have on the Executive Branch? Featuring: Ms. Kristine I.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Gov Ron DeSantis is enforcing immigration law! He announces that Alligator Alcatraz is now deporting illegal immigrants, and the Democrats hate it. Also, President Trump's advisors are mistaken in claiming blanket absolute immunity under the Supreme Court's Presidential immunity ruling. The decision provides absolute immunity for core presidential duties but only presumptive immunity for peripheral ones, which can be rebutted if actions fall outside legitimate responsibilities. Yes, Barack Obama can be investigated for the Russia collusion hoax. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in to explain that Senate Republicans are perpetuating a tactic originated by former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2007, using "pro forma" sessions—brief, token meetings every three days during congressional breaks—to prevent the Senate from entering a true recess. This blocks Trump from making recess appointments under the Constitution, leading to significant delays: only 86 nominees confirmed six months into his term, with 256 still pending and no U.S. attorneys approved, forcing reliance on acting officials. What are the Republicans doing?! There is no defense for this.  Afterward, Israel is supplying food, medicine, and necessities, but these are being held up by Hamas, which is desperate to survive. Hamas steals food, tries to starve the Gazans, then blames Israel, and the media runs with it. Hamas also hoards aid in tunnels, kills Palestinians attempting to access it, collaborates with the UN and UNRWA to control distribution, and sells portions to fund arms purchases from Egypt.

Marc and Kim bring on Hans von Spakovsky to cut through the misinformation on immigration enforcement. Hans points out Republicans back the Biden administration's aggressive deportation of violent criminals, despite the messy optics. They condemn Democrat officials encouraging defiance of federal law, comparing them to pre-Civil War secessionists protecting slavery. Hans breaks down the sharp distinction between legal and illegal immigration, reminding listeners the U.S. welcomes more legal immigrants than any other country. The conversation shifts to skepticism around the Epstein grand jury leaks, warning of libel risks without concrete evidence. Finally, Hans confirms what many suspected: the Obama administration, alongside Hillary Clinton, actively schemed to sabotage Trump's presidency before he even took office. A must-listen deep dive into the swamp's ongoing battles.

Hans von Spakovsky joins the Annie Frey Show to break down the criminal investigation into James Comey and John Brennan in connection with the Trump-Russia probe. He details findings from John Durham's declassified documents, including how the Clinton-funded Steele dossier was used to justify surveillance of the Trump campaign. The discussion also covers the Epstein case, President Trump's “nothing burger” response, and whether a special counsel is warranted. Spakovsky raises red flags about possible file tampering, limited document access, and deep state interference.

In Hour 1 of The Annie Frey Show, the discussion centers on the implications of invoking the Fifth Amendment amid the House Oversight Committee's investigation into President Joe Biden. With figures like James Comer and Anthony Bernal pleading the Fifth, suspicions of involvement are raised. Hans von Spakovsky addresses the deep state, the two-tiered justice system, and the misuse of federal law enforcement tied to the Russia hoax. The segment also discusses trust in Trump-era officials such as Ash Patel and Pam Bondi. Plus, a look at the WNBA's rise in entertainment value, especially through Caitlin Clark's growing impact. The hour wraps with Ethan's America, featuring tips for boosting work performance, avoiding multitasking, and staying focused.

Steve Gruber speaks with Hans A. Von Spakovsky, Manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, to analyze the recent SCOTUS decision on the firing of federal workers. They unpack the Court's interpretation of administrative power, what it means for civil-service protections, and how this ruling could reshape the balance between accountability and bureaucratic independence in Washington.

While there are still several high-profile cases awaiting rulings, the Supreme Court has delivered several wins for the Trump administration, common sense, and all Americans.So far this term, the Supreme Court issued stays of lower court orders attempting to block the Trump administration from pursuing its agenda, upheld religious freedom and parental rights, and upheld laws protecting kids from dangerous gender treatments. Justices also have stopped lower court judges from rewriting discrimination law and allowing foreign governments to infringe on Americans' right to bear arms.Here to talk about what has happened this year and what we might expect to see over the next week is Heritage Senior Legal Fellow Hans von Spakovsky. —Hans on X: https://x.com/HvonSpakovsky?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorCase in Point Podcast: https://www.heritage.org/caseinpoint—Have thoughts?
