A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to restore more than $80 million in grants it withheld from UCLA. The ruling comes as the government accuses the university of antisemitism on campus and discrimination in admissions. To resolve the funding freeze, Trump is demanding a $1 billion settlement, which Governor Gavin Newsom characterizes as extortion and UC officials say would “completely devastate” the public university system. We look at how UCLA and other universities are responding to Trump's pressure campaign.

Today's Headlines: The Supreme Court is taking up a case that could overturn its 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage — courtesy of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing gay marriage licenses. She's appealing a $360K judgment, claiming First Amendment protection and arguing marriage equality was wrongly decided. Meanwhile, the White House plans to audit the Smithsonian to make sure exhibits fit Trump's “unifying” version of American history — which critics say means erasing inconvenient facts. Harvard is reportedly near a $500M settlement with the Trump administration to end multiple investigations, restore research funding, and avoid federal oversight — while maintaining its admissions independence. Trump mocked Goldman Sachs' chief economist after tariff warnings, telling the CEO (a hobbyist DJ) to “focus on being a DJ.” He also nominated Heritage Foundation economist EJ Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing the last commissioner over jobs numbers. An Israeli strike killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, four colleagues, and two others; Israel claims he was a Hamas operative.

The Trump Administration appears to want Indiana Governor Mike Braun to call a special session for redistricting in order to further Republicans advantage in the House. But after a day that saw multiple state lawmakers publicly throw cold water on the idea, and leadership seeming less than thrilled about the heavy lift necessary, optimism appears to be dampening. On this week's Statehouse Happenings Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss the dangers that could await if the Republicans move forward.

Hello to all of our loyal listeners at Heritage Explains. We are on break for the month of August and will be coming back with new episodes in September. But in the meantime, we're rounding up some of our favorite shows from earlier this year. One of the key moments in the early Trump Administration were the cuts to USAID.  For the first time, many Americans got an up-close-and-personal look at the way that the sausage gets made in Washington. What most people assumed was an innocuous aid organization was actually involved in much more sinister activities. Check out this conversation with David Ditch, who breaks down why this moment mattered so much.

This week's PR Breakdown isn't about a corporate crisis or a press release gone wrong. It's about satire — and the way it forces a reaction.In the latest season of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have turned their aim on the Trump administration, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and the culture of punditry. It's not subtle. It's not sanitized. And it's definitely not for the thin-skinned.The second episode, “Got a Nut,” skewers both sides of the aisle while delivering a masterclass in what happens when satire hits a nerve. The White House called the show “irrelevant” — a statement that instantly proved the opposite. Noem leaned into the joke publicly, then undercut herself in interviews. And Charlie Kirk tried to be in on the humor while still nursing the sting.Here's what I cover in this episode:Why this season of South Park is landing harder than most political commentaryThe specific targets in Episode 2, and the satirical tactics behind themHow public figures misplay their responses to being parodiedWhy defensiveness is the loudest admission of relevanceThe crisis takeaway: When satire calls you out, your response matters more than the jokeSatire works because it holds up a mirror. In PR, what you do next decides whether people see the reflection as truth or just a caricature.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Gregory Mankiw is name known in economics classrooms around the world. Years after passing exams based on his teachings, we had the honor of talking with the man about reoccurring themes in the world of economics such as inflation, debt, carbon tax while discussing impact of Trump Administration policies, climate change and balance between politics and economic policy. Enjoy!

Kirk Moore, MD, is a plastic surgeon who literally stands for “truth, beauty, and goodness.” He is a genuine American hero. Many of us admire Dr. Moore for protecting his patients, children, and adults, by giving them medical certificates stating he had given them the Covid jab when he had not. Following the Hippocratic Oath of “Do no harm,” Dr. Moore saved people from death and an infinite number of other harms, including heart disease, neurologic disease, sterility and miscarriages, cancers, impaired cognition and emotional control, and the passing on of newly defective genes.   Dr. Moore was not only saving the people themselves from the deadly shots, but he was also helping everyone who relied upon them or loved them. If we look at who was most affected by the mandates and hence came to him for the certificates, many would have been among the most harmed by the mandates, such as healthcare providers and emergency responders. And he was saving children who needed the protection of adults against medical abuse.   Dr. Moore was charged with enough crimes by the Biden administration to put him in prison for 35 years, beyond the average lifespan of a 59-year-old man. Then, despite public outrage among Trump supporters, the Trump Administration went along with having Dr. Moore hauled into a courtroom and put on trial. Finally, after five days of grueling trial, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a statement that the trial was ending, and the government would not be allowed to bring any further trials.   A major question quickly entered our minds: “Was the Trump administration protecting the vaccine instead of Dr. Moore by ending the trial?”   This aligns with the agreement forced on Dr. Moore, which prohibited him from suing the government for financial or other damages. These damages were enormous, stemming from both his practice and his attorney fees, including five grueling days of trial. Did the government do this because they wanted to avoid a new trial where, unlike the current trial, Dr. Moore would be allowed to bring in his own experts on how damaging the COVID jabs were? The judge had thus far prohibited Dr. Moore from bringing in his own medical and scientific experts to confirm how dangerous the vaccines were, and Dr. Moore might have the opportunity if he brought his own case against the government.   Then we interviewed Sasha Latypova — a researcher whom we deeply respect. Both Sasha and Katherine Watt, another researcher we deeply respect, were consultants to Dr. Moore leading up to the trial, and he tells us in the interview how appreciative he is of them and their contributions. Sasha, in her interview, told us that the government had made many mistakes, potentially forcing the judge to take the restraints off Dr. Moore and his team, who wanted to question witnesses about how bad the vaccines are. But in talking with Dr. Moore, who clearly feels grateful for the Trump administration finally intervening on his side, there was more at stake than we thought in regard to protecting the vaccines.   As Dr. Moore described the events of the five days in the final part of this new interview with us, we could see a change in his own analysis. As the last few days of the trial unraveled, it began to dawn on all of us that he could have won the trial!   The government was not only trying to stop further discovery about how bad the vaccines were, but the government must also have become afraid that they could actually lose the jury trial. Not only being able to do discovery in ways that never have been done before, but also winning a jury trial for a doctor who defied the government's attempt to control his relationship with his physician, would have reaffirmed the basic medical ethics that Covid-19 utterly wrecked.   A victory by Dr. Moore would have helped to restore the sacredness of the doctor-patient relationship, the right and necessity of doctors to give informed consent, and to do their best not to harm their patients, even if ordered by the government to harm them.   Dr. Moore set a clear and heroic example as a physician who put his ethics and his patients' well-being ahead of the powers of government. That's potentially earth-shaking. And this isn't David merely fighting another larger mortal named Goliath; it is David against Leviathan, the whale of the entire government, seeking to devour us humans one by one.   As I mentioned earlier, Ginger and I had already concluded that the only reason Attorney General Bondi stopped the trial was the growing possibility that Dr. Moore and his attorneys would get the right to do discovery on how evil the Covid project was, especially its “vaccines.” In other words, President Donald Trump did not want the public learning more about how bad the vaccines are. I had already written a Substack to that conclusion based on our interview with Shasha Latypova, who was a consultant to the trial, a researcher who Dr. Moore also deeply appreciates.   I asked Dr. Moore before the show if I could raise questions about bad motivations on the part of the Trump Administration, letting the trial even start, then stopping it abruptly. He said it was fine to discuss it, and we did this in the final segment of the show.   As you listen to the final segment, you may get the impression that Dr. Moore, good man that he is, and grateful to the President as well, only reluctantly wants to support what comes out. What comes out is this: Dr. Moore and his team not only stood a good chance of getting to do discovery on how bad the shots are, they were making so many good points, they might even have won the trial.   Trump really is protecting not only Operation Warp Speed, but also continuing to market the same mRNA genetic shots. Indeed, he is probably protecting the deadly mRNA platforms' billion-dollar industry that is being created to produce a seemingly endless variety of products and uses to be injected into our bodies.   This is a national emergency, not a mere political disagreement. The Trump administration's healthcare policies, as announced by Robert F. Kennedy, include wearables (chips that can go over your skin or under it). Along with that action, RFK is now announcing a fully digitalized universal medical records system that is the last great step toward complete medical surveillance of everyone, to be followed by socialized medicine, to be followed by an even more totalitarian government.   We need to gain courage from the actions of heroes and patriots like Dr. Kirk Moore and resist every effort to trample upon our Constitutional rights and our God-given freedoms.

Michael McNair: How Trump Administration Is Driving The Dollar Lower There has certainly been a lot of chaos in the financial markets since Trump started his second term. Even aside from the tariffs, we've seen the dollar index plummet in the time Trump's been in office, amidst numerous comments from Trump cabinet officials about how they feel the dollar is just too high. Meanwhile, as the tariff policies have frequently changed, while the commentary from the Trump team often leaves you feeling like you're getting less than the full story, fortunately, I have some good news. Because I've mentioned fund manager Michael McNair, who months ago wrote a thesis on the signs he's seeing that the Trump administration is already actively implementing Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors Stephen Miran's plan, that he laid out in his 41-page paper titled "Restructuring the Global Trading System." Which I might also add came out one month before Trump named him for the position of chairman. Fortunately, I was able to catch up with Michael, who then proceeded to give a master class on some of the intricacies of what's going on right now. Which with all due respect, I simply think you will not find anywhere else. So especially if you're not sure what to make of the first half year of Trump's second term, and want to know what the plan really is, and if it will ultimately be able to be successful, you will want to watch today's show!. - To find Michael McNair on twitter go to: https://x.com/michaeljmcnair To read Michael's most recent paper titled 'The Dollar Squeeze: How the Trump Administration Reversed Capital Flows Without Capital Controls,' go to: https://medium.com/@mcnai002/the-dollar-squeeze-how-the-trump-administration-reversed-capital-flows-without-capital-controls-d32e4e728a34 - Get access to Arcadia's Daily Gold and Silver updates here: https://goldandsilverdaily.substack.com/ - To get your very own 'Silver Chopper Ben' statue go to: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/chopper-ben-landing-page/ - Join our free email list to be notified when a new video comes out: click here: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/email-signup/ - Follow Arcadia Economics on twitter at: https://x.com/ArcadiaEconomic - To get your copy of 'The Big Silver Short' (paperback or audio) go to: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/thebigsilvershort/ - Thank you for watching!

The first and only (so far) lawsuit demanding that the Trump Administration “release the damn Epstein files” has been filed in Federal Court by our friends at Democracy Forward, and its been assigned to Judge Tanya Chutkan—the same judge who handled Trump's DC election interference criminal trial and ruled against him on whether he had immunity from prosecution. Michael Popok explains the political missteps by the Trump Administration and JD Vance leading up to the lawsuit being filed last week, and the impact of Judge Chutkan's involvement.

In breaking news, a federal judge has not only blasted the Trump Administration for misleading the American Public about their failure to release the Epstein Files in their entirety, but has also vindicated the 1000s of sex abuse victims who have been ignored by the Trump Administration, while reminding the public of the heinous and depraved sex abuse crimes Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of to set the record straight. Michael Popok takes a deep dive into Judge Englemayer's brand new order denying Trump's efforts to redefine the “files” as the Grand Jury materials, and preventing their release at the same time.

The Trump Administration ordered universities to turn over data to prove they're not considering race in admissions. But education expert Richard Kahlenberg argues that for college admissions to look at merit fairly, they need to look at class.

On this week's episode, Sonny Bunch, Alyssa Rosenberg, and Peter Suderman discussed how to best respond to South Park's war on the Trump Administration and its cronies. Then they reviewed Weapons, the funniest scary movie of the year (so far!) that nevertheless has a poignant, melancholic core. (There are spoilers in this chat, so just let it be known that all three recommended it heartily if you're worried about that sort of thing.) Make sure to swing by Thursday for a discussion of the shifting political winds in Hollywood. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

In this episode of The Passing Judgment Podcast, host Jessica Levinson unpacks President Trump's decision to deploy federal troops—including the National Guard and Marines—to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Jessica explains the current California v. Trump trial, which centers on whether the administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act—a law barring the military from acting as domestic law enforcement unless certain exceptions apply. She discusses the difference between supporting federal agencies and directly enforcing laws, and outlines legal exceptions like the Insurrection Act. Jessica also details the president's authority over the D.C. National Guard and the special rules for taking over the District's police under the Home Rule Act.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Posse Comitatus Act at Center Stage: The ongoing bench trial (California v. Trump) challenges whether deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles crossed the legal line into direct law enforcement, potentially violating the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act.Presidential Authority—A Legal Balancing Act: While the president (any president!) can federalize the National Guard, there are boundaries—like the Insurrection Act—that determine what those troops can actually do once deployed. This nuance will shape legal precedents nationwide.D.C. vs. State Jurisdictions: The president has much more direct control over deploying and directing the National Guard in D.C., versus states like California. Taking control of local police, however, requires navigating additional legal steps under the Home Rule Act.Mentioned In The Episode: National Guard in Los Angeles: Decoding the Law Behind the StandoffThe Legal Battle Over Federalizing California's National Guard: What You Need to KnowFollow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

On "The Tara Show," the host discusses the president's decision to extend tariffs on China, acknowledging that it reveals a weakness stemming from America's dependence on Chinese rare earth minerals. He attributes this vulnerability to past administrations and praises the current president for taking action to reverse it. The show highlights the administration's efforts to revive American energy production by approving several major coal projects, arguing that this is crucial for national security, economic independence, and winning the global "AI race" against China. The host also touches on the geopolitical implications of this struggle and the need to shed the nation's reliance on foreign resources. The show concludes with a pointed criticism of Republican leadership in the Senate, accusing them of blocking the president's appointments—including his nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Dr. E.J. Antoni. The host alleges that Senator John Thune is engaging in a political "hostage situation" to obstruct the president's agenda and prevent him from making recess appointments, a move the host claims is hindering the country's progress and playing into the hands of those who would see the U.S. weakened.

On "The Tara Show," the host discusses the president's decision to extend tariffs on China, attributing the move to China's leverage over rare earth minerals. He argues that the U.S. is in a weak negotiating position due to decades of policies that have made the country dependent on China for these critical resources. The show connects this to the previous administration's shutdown of domestic mines and a history of foreign actors influencing U.S. policy for profit. The host praises the current administration's efforts to reverse this trend by greenlighting four major coal projects, including a mine in Montana that is projected to recover 33.75 million tons of federal coal. The show highlights the importance of energy independence and the "AI race," citing an interview with Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who warns that China is adding "five Americas" worth of electricity production capacity in the next 15 years, while the U.S. has been falling behind. The show also touches on the geopolitical consequences of this struggle, including the war in Ukraine and the influence of foreign money on American politics. The host ends the segment by criticizing Republican leadership in the Senate for blocking the President's appointments, including that of Dr. E.J. Antoni, whom he believes would restore integrity to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

 Zoom out from continuing tariff turmoil and Trump's recent attacks on the Fed and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and you'll see a broader new economic order is forming. Political economist and Brown University professor Mark Blyth joins Rapid Response to reveal why outdated models still underpin much of our economic understanding, and what we still misunderstand – and underestimate – about China. Blyth also shares why the Democrats struggle to craft an engaging story about the economy, why it's so hard to predict a recession, and what Brown's recent settlement with the Trump Administration tells us about higher education's need to pivot from its reliance on federal funding.

Boston University Law Professor Jack Beermann analyzes the major topics, trends, and decisions that came from the Supreme Court's 2024-2025 term. We talked about the Court's relationship with the other two branches of government, with the Trump Administration, and within itself. We looked at specific cases and the emergence of specific judges from this term as well as what might be ahead in the coming term. 

Steven Levitsky, a leading expert on authoritarian regimes, joins host Alex Lovit to talk about the US's current slide into authoritarianism and what we can do about it. Democracies tolerate dissent. In a democracy, citizens and institutions can criticize, protest, or file legal claims against the government, without fear of reprisal. That is no longer true of the US today, which means that the US is no longer a full democracy. Steven Levitsky is the David Rockefeller Professor of Latin American Studies and professor of government and director of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University. Along with many acclaimed academic works, he is the coauthor (with Daniel Ziblatt) of two bestselling books about threats to democracy: 2018's How Democracies Die and 2023's Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point. He is also a senior fellow at the Charles F. Kettering Foundation.

From the attempt to end birthright citizenship to the gutting of congressionally authorized agencies, the Trump Administration has created an enormous number of legal controversies. The Radio Hour asked for listeners' questions about President Trump and the courts. To answer them, David Remnick speaks with two regular contributors: Ruth Marcus, who writes about legal issues and the Supreme Court, and Jeannie Suk Gersen, who teaches constitutional law at Harvard Law School. While the writers disagree on some significant questions—such as the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Trump v. CASA, which struck down the use of nationwide injunctions—both acknowledge the unprecedented nature of some of the questions from listeners. “They never taught you these things in law school, because he's pushing on areas of the law that are not normally pushed on,” Marcus tells Remnick.New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

After many delays and negotiations, most of President Donald Trump's tariffs went into effect last Thursday, August 7th. Eric Levitz, senior correspondent at Vox, break down the latest news —  including why Trump's tariffs, no matter how tough they might be on American pocketbooks, might be very hard to reverse.

While Congress is on its traditional August recess, the House Oversight Committee is still investigating the alleged cover-up of former President Biden's decline. However, the former President insists he was responsible for all decisions that came out of the White House during his time in office, and former staff members claim they saw no obvious sign of a decline. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-1) joins the Rundown to discuss the Committee's investigation into whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive deterioration of former President Biden. For decades, advocates have been trying to convince the government that psychedelic drugs could be used as medicine and help with conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. But their efforts fell short. However, there is hope with the Trump Administration as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced his openness to testing their effectiveness. A few states have legalized psychedelics for therapy, and Texas has recently approved funding for research into ibogaine, a psychoactive compound found in a West African shrub. Former Texas Governor and first-term Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was behind the effort in Texas and hopes it leads to the development of a drug that wins approval for clinical trials and could eventually be given in a monitored hospital setting. Gov. Perry joins the Rundown to discuss the potential benefits of ibogaine and other psychedelic therapies, and how an Afghanistan veteran inspired his advocacy.

The Smithsonian Institution has recently been called out by the Trump Administration for pushing "one-sided, divisive political narratives." But American history isn't the only domain in which the Smithsonian is advancing misinformation. The National Museum of Natural History's Hall of Human Origins vastly distorts the scientific evidence on human evolution, seeking to convince visitors that there's nothing special about us as human beings. On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid talks to attorney and geologist Dr. Casey Luskin to dissect his explosive new editorial in the New York Post calling on the Smithsonian Museum to stop "miseducating the public" on the history of human beings.
