The Karol Markowicz Show: How COVID, the Culture Wars & Grassroots Activism Changed New York Politics

Karol Markowicz sits down with Kevin Smith, founder of Loud Majority and host of Loud Majority Live, for a wide-ranging conversation about grassroots activism, New York politics, the culture wars, and the power of getting involved at the local level. Kevin shares how the COVID lockdown era transformed him from a delivery driver into a political activist, beginning with Trump car parades across Long Island before expanding into school board races, local elections, campaigns, and political media. He explains why COVID restrictions awakened many Americans to the importance of local government—and why changing a school board or city council can sometimes have a more immediate impact on your life than national politics. Karol and Kevin also discuss the political transformation of Long Island, why so many New Yorkers are leaving the state, personal responsibility in an era of economic frustration, the WNBA and the culture wars, celebrities getting political, the decline of Hollywood entertainment, and whether American culture is beginning to shift away from ideological preaching. Plus, Kevin offers his prediction for the rise of economic populism and shares his advice for anyone who wants to improve their life: focus on what you can control, take responsibility, and don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Q&A Friday, Todd examines the WNBA's response to former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring eligibility for its draft and argues that the league's inability to define who qualifies for women's competition exposes a deeper conflict between objective biology and progressive ideology. He discusses the competitive consequences of admitting biological men into women's sports, traces how preferred pronouns and nonbinary language moved from college campuses into mainstream institutions, and revisits a 1987 Saturday Night Live sketch to show how dramatically cultural assumptions have shifted. Todd closes by outlining the WNBA's available policy choices and predicting that league officials will preserve ambiguity while quietly blocking the players rather than adopt a clear biological-sex eligibility rule.

Last week Fox News attempted to revive long since dead horrors for its audience - the COVID-19 pandemic, outrage over a transgender athlete scandal that did NOT include a transgender athlete and commies, commies and more commies.In late June the Supreme Court ruled that states were allowed to ban transgender athletes from K-12 and colligate sports programs for women and girls. This essentially barred transgender athletes from competing in women and girls' sports in 29 states.The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic committee announced last July that it would ban transgender women from competing. Several other sports leagues followed suit including the International Cycling Union, World Aquatics, World Boxing Organization, World Athletics Council, and the National Athletics Council (NCAA).Although the issue of transgender women and girls competing in women's athletic competitions is not completely settled the SCOTUS case and athletic league bans have greatly reduced the likelihood of transgender women and girls dominating women's sports.Sophie Cunningham, a WNBA player, voiced support for barring transgender girls in an ESPN article in late July. Fox News acted as if Cunningham was the Rosa Parks of women's basketball.After the article was published Cunningham wasn't fired or disciplined. An Adidas shoe she sponsored sold out in nearly 24 hours. She was praised and criticized for her statement with dueling protesters at some of her games.Cunningham is entitled to her opinion of course, but the hysteria seemed displaced as there is no transgender athlete in the WNBA. Even before the SCOTUS ruling and other athletic league bans transgender athletes made up less than less than 0.002% (10/500,000) of US college athletes, and even fewer of recent Olympians (0.001%) identified as trans.The hype and hysteria surrounding the Cunningham story is peak Fox News. The network knows that the bigotry and hatred of transgender people will keep its viewers interested in its programming while it ignores things like the affordability crisis, the war in Iran and the DOJ's many efforts to coverup everything related to Jeffrey Epstein.While the network whipped its audience into a frenzy about an imagined transgender takeover of the WNBA the network revived other cultural issue zombies such as rehashing disinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic and the new red scare.One of the more amusing moments last week happened when Fox News immediately distanced itself from a story involving its former host Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.In a 20-page court filing, Pirro's office wrote that the damage to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool was the result of a “botched” renovation – “not vandalism”. Her office dropped criminal charges on four people connected to incidents involving the tourist attraction.President Trump was outraged insisting there was ‘tremendous vandalism' at the site. Fox News did absolutely nothing to support its former host. The network did not acknowledge how it supported Trump's false claims with surveillance footage that showed no criminal activity.

Karol Markowicz sits down with Miriam “Mock” Weaver and Amy Jo “Daisy” Clark of Chicks on the Right for a candid conversation about the growing divisions inside conservative media, speaking out when it’s unpopular, and what they believe is happening to the American right. Mock and Daisy explain why they were willing to publicly criticize prominent conservative voices including Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, why authenticity has been central to Chicks on the Right’s success, and how they built a fiercely loyal audience over more than 17 years of political commentary. They also share the unlikely story of how Chicks on the Right began, their transition from corporate careers to blogging, radio and podcasting, and why patriotism remains at the heart of their show. Karol, Mock and Daisy also debate where America could be headed over the next five years, the political divide between left and right, the influence of AI and technology on culture, the future of younger generations, and whether Americans have reason to be optimistic about the country. Plus, Mock opens up about resilience after suffering a stroke and losing her son, while Daisy discusses family, gratitude and the importance of continuing to learn at every stage of life. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about conservative media, friendship, resilience, patriotism and why Mock’s advice remains simple: never bet against America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Harrison Browne joined me in The Locher Room for an inspiring and deeply honest conversation about a life defined by courage, reinvention, and authenticity.Many viewers recently discovered Harrison as Connors on the hit series Heated Rivalry, but long before stepping in front of the camera, he made history as the first openly transgender professional athlete in North American team sports.Harrison reflected on his groundbreaking hockey career, the difficult decision to retire in order to medically transition, and how he found a new purpose through acting. He shared the surprising story of how Scarlett Johansson unknowingly inspired him to pursue the craft, the discipline it took to succeed in both hockey and acting, and how he landed his role on Heated Rivalry.We also talked about the overwhelming response to the series, his acclaimed short film Pink Light, and why he and his sister, Rachel Browne, wrote Let Us Play: Winning the Battle for Gender Diverse Athletes.Most importantly, Harrison spoke candidly about the misinformation surrounding transgender athletes, what he wishes people understood about the lived experience of being trans, and the meaningful connections he's built with young people and families searching for hope and understanding.Whether you're a fan of Heated Rivalry, interested in sports, or simply appreciate powerful conversations that challenge perspectives, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Todd examines the renewed debate over transgender athletes in women's sports and argues that the controversy reaches far beyond basketball because it tests whether society is willing to acknowledge basic biological reality. He focuses on Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham's defense of female competition and the backlash she faced from protesters, commentators, and others around the WNBA. Todd contrasts Cunningham's direct response with Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White's claim that she is not sufficiently educated on the science, Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve's emphasis on inclusion, and Caitlin Clark's decision to leave the issue to leagues and governing bodies. Along the way, he challenges the idea that rules protecting women's categories amount to hatred, noting that every meaningful competition necessarily establishes boundaries. His central case is that truth can be exclusionary without being hateful, that compassion does not require affirming falsehoods, and that protecting girls and women from male athletic advantages is both common sense and an act of fairness.

30: The Supreme Court Ruled on Transgender Athletes: Here's Who Got Left Out of the Story - Airs 7-14-26 - with Schuyler Bailar

Dear White Women

On June 30th, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that states can bar transgender girls and women from competing on girls' and women's teams. Six to three. It's now the law in over half the country.   And however you feel about that ruling, here's what we noticed in the days after it came down: almost none of the coverage actually talked to a transgender kid, or the parent raising one. It was all policy. All abstraction. It is a decision that, on paper, is about Title IX and biological sex and constitutional interpretation.   But underneath all that legal language is something much more personal: real kids, real families, real teams, and real decisions about who gets to belong. And let's not forget: argued by people who've never sat across from an eight-year-old who already knows she's going to be treated differently.   So we went back into our archive. A while back, we sat down with a remarkable mom, Jaime, raising a transgender daughter in Florida. And more recently, we talked with Schuyler - you might know him as Pink Manta Ray - a multiethnic Korean American trans educator, the first transgender Division 1 athlete on a men's team while at Harvard, and author of He, She, They:    How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters.   We're combining pieces of both conversations into one episode, because we think you need both things right now: Jaime's story, to feel it - and Schuyler's clarity, to know what to actually say and not say when it comes up in your own life. These aren't talking points. These are ways to simply see the humanity in each other. Please listen, and share widely.   What to listen for:   Intersectionality, and Schuyler's own experience growing up biracial    The importance of exploring why you are who you are – for ALL of us – when it comes to gender   The quick takedown of the arguments from people working to push trans women out of women's sports  A bullet-pointed list of what NOT to say to transgender folks   How to remind yourself of joy and a sense of thriving in the world, when it gets rough  What Schuyler wants cisgender, heterosexual women to do differently, once you listen to the episode   About Schuyler:   Schuyler Bailar (he/him) is an educator, advocate, and bestselling author who made history as the first transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men's team. Originally recruited to swim for the Harvard women's team, Schuyler made the difficult choice to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being a women's NCAA Champion. His story has appeared everywhere from 60 Minutes to The Washington Post and The Ellen Show. Schuyler's tireless advocacy has earned him numerous honors, including Forbes 30 Under 30  and the Out 100.

In this bonus episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt and co-host Shannon Salmon-Haas dive headfirst into three major, headline-grabbing Supreme Court rulings that are reshaping the legal and political landscape of the United States. From intense debates on biological sex and fairness in sports to historical dives into English common law, Todd and Shannon bring both legal expertise and spirited debate to the table. Whether you lean left, lean right, or just want to know how the law impacts your daily life, this episode breaks down complex constitutional arguments into a conversation you won't want to miss. Key Topics Discussed: Transgender Athletes & Title IX: A look at the landmark case West Virginia v. B.P.J.. Todd and Shannon clash over the Balance of Due Process, Title IX regulations, and safety concerns versus inclusivity in biological female sports. The Fate of Birthright Citizenship: Tracing the law from King James I in 1603 to the 14th Amendment and the Dred Scott decision, the hosts break down Trump v. Barbara. Discover why the Supreme Court upheld that if you are born here, you are a citizen—and the real-world logistical nightmare that changing it would create. Money, Speech, and Campaign Finance: An analysis of National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission. The Supreme Court overturned a 2001 precedent to rule that political parties can now coordinate unlimited spending with candidates. Todd and Shannon square off on whether "money is speech" or if this decision puts American democracy up for sale to the highest bidder. Key Takeaways: The Constitution is a Living Debate: While Todd approaches the text from a strict originalist viewpoint, Shannon highlights how modern societal complexities challenge centuries-old frameworks. The Internet Changes the Legal Burden: A major reason the Supreme Court loosened campaign finance limits was the modern availability of online disclosure and transparency tools for voters. The Buck Stops at the Supreme Court: No matter how much tax money or legislative effort is poured into executive orders and state laws, the high court remains the final arbiter of what is constitutional.

The New Yorker contributing writer Ruth Marcus joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the Supreme Court's now concluded term and what some of the recent decisions indicate about the bench's willingness to check President Trump's use of executive power. They talk about the Court's rulings on immigration, transgender athletes, the President's authority to fire heads of independent federal agencies, and what various opinions reveal about the Republican-appointed justices' tendency to side with the Trump Administration. They also explore the Court's rejection of Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, and whether the ruling should be seen as a reassuring defense of settled law or a warning that even long-established constitutional protections may be more vulnerable than they once appeared.

✅ Victories 1. Expansion of Presidential Power Case: Trump v. Slaughter Outcome: The Court overturned Humphrey’s Executor (a long-standing precedent). Meaning: The President now has broader authority to fire officials in independent agencies (like the FTC). Seen as strengthening Article II executive power. A related case (Trump v. Cook) ruled the opposite for the Federal Reserve, limiting presidential removal power there. This creates a partial exception, showing the Court did not fully embrace unlimited executive control. 2. Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports Case: West Virginia v. BPJ Outcome: States can restrict participation in women’s sports based on biological sex. Impact: Laws in 27 states are upheld. The Court ruled such restrictions do not violate the Equal Protection Clause or federal law. 3. Campaign Finance / Free Speech Case: NRSC v. FEC Outcome: Political parties can spend unlimited money in coordination with candidates. Impact: Expands political speech rights. Removes restrictions on party-candidate coordination. ❌ Losses 1. Birthright Citizenship Key points: The Court affirmed that such a major change cannot be done via executive action. Leaves open: Constitutional amendment Possible congressional legislation 2. Mail-in Ballots / Election Law Case: Watson v. RNC Outcome: States may count ballots received after Election Day if postmarked on time. Impact: Election rules remain state-controlled.

This Day in Legal History: Revenue Act of 1862On this day in legal history, July 1, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Revenue Act of 1862, one of the most important financing measures of the Civil War. The Union war effort required enormous amounts of money, and Congress could no longer rely only on tariffs, loans, and traditional sources of federal revenue. The act created the Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the direct predecessor of today's Internal Revenue Service.This new office gave the federal government an administrative structure for assessing and collecting taxes across the country. The law also expanded the federal government's role in the financial lives of ordinary Americans. It imposed a 3% tax on annual incomes between $600 and $10,000 and a 5% tax on incomes above $10,000. Although modest by modern standards, this was a major shift in American tax law because it treated income itself as a source of federal revenue.The act also included taxes on goods, licenses, businesses, and other transactions, helping create a broader national tax system. Its purpose was practical and urgent: to raise the money needed to preserve the Union. But its legal significance went beyond the battlefield. The Revenue Act of 1862 helped normalize the idea that the federal government could collect taxes directly from individuals. The Civil War income tax was later allowed to expire, but the machinery of federal tax administration had been built.Decades later, the Sixteenth Amendment would give Congress clearer constitutional authority to impose a national income tax. July 1, 1862, therefore marks a turning point in the legal history of federal taxation and the growth of national administrative power.The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship is invalid. In an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court held that children born in the United States to parents who are undocumented or only temporarily present still meet the requirements of the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause. Roberts wrote that the Constitution makes those children citizens at birth because they are born on U.S. soil and are subject to U.S. law.The executive order, signed on January 20, 2025, never took effect because federal courts blocked it while lawsuits moved forward. Earlier, the Supreme Court had limited the power of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions, but the legal challenges to the order continued through class-based and case-specific proceedings.The Court's majority relied heavily on the history of birthright citizenship, including English common law, the purpose of the 14th Amendment after Dred Scott, and the 1898 decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Roberts rejected the administration's argument that citizenship should depend on whether a child's parents had permanent allegiance or domicile in the United States.Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed that the order was invalid, but he based his reasoning on federal statute rather than the Constitution. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch dissented in different ways, arguing that the majority misread the 14th Amendment's history or failed to address important limits on birthright citizenship.Supreme Court strikes down Trump's order ending birthright citizenship | SCOTUSblogThe Supreme Court ruled that Idaho and West Virginia may enforce laws limiting girls' and women's school sports teams to athletes the states classify as biologically female. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main opinion, saying the laws do not violate Title IX or the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.The Court was unanimous that the challenged laws do not violate Title IX, but the justices split over the constitutional issue, especially as applied to Becky Pepper-Jackson, the West Virginia student at the center of one case. Kavanaugh reasoned that Title IX permits schools to have separate teams based on sex and that, when the law was enacted, “sex” referred to biological sex. He also said states have important interests in safety and competitive fairness, and that courts should not be required to create individualized exceptions for athletes who have taken puberty blockers or hormones. The decision reversed lower-court rulings that had blocked Idaho and West Virginia from enforcing their bans.Justice Clarence Thomas joined the majority and wrote separately to emphasize his view that sex is binary and biological. Justice Neil Gorsuch also wrote separately, focusing on the idea that Title IX, as a funding statute, must give schools clear notice of any conditions attached to federal money. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, agreed that West Virginia's law did not violate Title IX but dissented on the constitutional question. Sotomayor argued that the Court should have allowed more factual development on whether Pepper-Jackson, who had not gone through male puberty, was actually similarly situated to cisgender girls for athletic purposes.Court rules that states can exclude transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports teams | SCOTUSblogThe Supreme Court declined to hear Cathy Harris's appeal after lower courts allowed President Trump to remove her from the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. Harris, a Democratic member and former chair of the board, had challenged her firing under a law that limited removal of board members to cases of inefficiency, neglect, or misconduct. The Court's refusal came one day after it ruled 6-3 that similar removal protections for Federal Trade Commission members were unconstitutional. Because Merit Systems Protection Board members had nearly identical protections, Harris's case was strongly affected by that new ruling.The same appeals court decision that rejected Harris's claim also upheld Trump's firing of Gwynne Wilcox, a Democratic member of the National Labor Relations Board. The Merit Systems Protection Board is especially important because it hears appeals from federal employees who have been disciplined or fired. Harris warned that the decision weakens the board and threatens the independence of the civil service system. Her removal had temporarily left the three-member board without enough members to decide certain cases, though a later Senate confirmation restored a quorum. The ruling may also affect other lawsuits brought by officials Trump removed from independent agencies. More broadly, the decision gives the White House greater authority over agencies that were originally designed to have some protection from direct political control.After FTC ruling, US Supreme Court turns away labor board member fired by Trump | Reuters This is a public episode.

A pair of states can continue to ban transgender women from participating in sports. 'Moving forward, if a state wants to say sports are defined by your birth gender, they can do that,' says Young, but also if a state wanted to allow those few transgender athletes to compete, that would be allowed as well.

Reactions to Birthright Citizenship SCOTUS Decision

Hugh Hewitt praises the ruling while pivoting quickly to celebrating Kavanaugh's concurrence encouraging Congress to pass a law restricting birthright citizenship. Hawk responds by noting that Congress cannot even get all Republican votes for the Save Act, let alone pass a constitutional amendment. Lisa Rubin analyzes Kavanaugh's partial dissent in detail, with Hawk describing Kavanaugh as the kid in class who always needs to be different for attention. Mike Johnson responds to the ruling live on air, with Hawk pointing out that the plain language of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause leaves no wiggle room for the executive order Trump signed on day one. Hawk reads from Clarence Thomas's dissent, which refers to the subjects of the 14th Amendment as the freed blacks, a phrase Hawk finds telling given that Thomas cannot bring himself to write the words Black Americans. Hawk also addresses Stephen Miller's public statement calling this the worst Supreme Court decision ever made, and fact-checks Trump's immediate claim that the United States is the only country in the world with birthright citizenship by noting that 33 countries on every continent have it.
