One of the Trump EPA's goals is to boost domestic auto sales. Cause you can't spell Environmental Protection without auto. Oh, wait, you can. Ben riffs. Ellie Hagen explains Trump's war on Environmental Justice. Apparently, he's okay with the word environmental and the word justice. But if you put them together, his MAGA mind explodes cause that's "woke"!

During the Biden Administration, the EPA enacted strict limits on a laundry list of PFAS chemicals – and a timeline to start enforcing those limits. But the Trump Administration is pushing that timeline back and scraping limits on some forms of the chemicals for now.Locally, some state lawmakers are taking steps they believe will help ensure Delaware manages any PFAS contamination issues in line with the Biden-era rules.This week, contributor Jon Hurdle examines what the Trump Administration's approach on PFAS means for the First State and Delaware's response.

Atlanta's WXIA-TV, 11 Alive, broke the story late last week: a Georgia woman, brain-dead since February, has been kept alive for more than 90 days because Emory Hospital lawyers advised the hospital against ending life support because of an early pregnancy. Now, her family's gripped in perpetual mourning while also awaiting the birth of what could likely be a child with immense medial woes of its own. It leaves Georgia politicians, left and right, finger-pointing. State Senator Nabila Islam-Parkes penned a letter to Attorney General Chris Carr (running for the GOP nomination for governor, as well) to answer questions and provide clarity on the state's position on such a situation. Carr, for his part, said of the draconian six-week Georgia abortion ban, put in place by his party in 2019, that “removing life support is not an action ‘with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy.'” That statement could prove interesting in the upcoming primary, but in the meanwhile, a grieving family is left without input at all. Joining me today to discuss this matter is Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters. ------The impacts Thomasville, Georgia residents have endured thanks to decades of air and pollution by nearby manufacturing isn't lost on Senator Jon Ossoff, who skewered Trump EPA administrator Lee Zeldin last week as to why his administration eliminated funding for a health clinic slated for that cancer-riddled community in southwest Georgia. Ossoff wasn't alone, and the ripping didn't just come from Democrats. ------Over the weekend we learned of former President Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, and WUSA-9 TV in D.C. sought input from an oncologist to give her optimistic outlook. That didn't stop the current President's son from launching into more conspiracy theories of cover-up, of course, but, by and large, even POTUS and the usually repugnant Marjorie Taylor Greene wish him well.

Soybean and soybean oil prices fell on fears that export sales would fall without a tariff agreement with China and rumors of reduced federal support for renewable fuels by the Trump EPA.

This Day in Legal History: Petition of RightOn May 8, 1628, the English Parliament formally presented the Petition of Right to King Charles I, marking a key moment in the development of constitutional law and the rule of law in England. This pivotal document emerged in response to growing discontent over the king's use of extrajudicial practices—most notably, the levying of taxes without Parliament's approval and the imprisonment of individuals without cause. Parliament asserted that such actions violated established legal norms rooted in Magna Carta and the common law. The Petition of Right articulated four principal grievances: non-Parliamentary taxation, arbitrary imprisonment, the quartering of soldiers in private homes, and the imposition of martial law during peacetime.Rather than draft new laws, Parliament framed the Petition as a reaffirmation of ancient liberties, underscoring that even the monarch was not above the law. Although Charles initially resisted, political pressure forced him to accept the Petition—though he would later undermine its principles, contributing to the constitutional crises that led to the English Civil War. The Petition became a foundational text in the Anglo-American legal tradition, influencing later legal milestones such as the English Bill of Rights (1689) and the United States Constitution.Its insistence on due process, the separation of powers, and limits on executive authority laid early groundwork for modern democratic governance. In rejecting the idea that the king could rule by prerogative alone, the Petition of Right helped to establish Parliament's role as a co-equal branch of government. The document continues to be cited in legal and political discourse as a seminal assertion of civil liberties. It was a bold challenge to monarchical absolutism at a time when questioning royal authority was fraught with danger. Through its articulation of legal limits on state power, the Petition of Right remains a cornerstone in the long evolution of constitutional democracy.Jenner & Block continues to take on high-profile legal battles against the Trump administration while awaiting a ruling in its own lawsuit challenging one of Trump's executive orders. The firm recently filed a suit in Massachusetts federal court on behalf of universities challenging cost caps imposed by the National Science Foundation on federally funded research. This is one of several legal actions Jenner has brought since Trump's return to the presidency, including lawsuits over restrictions on gender-affirming care and funding cuts to scientific research.Jenner is also seeking to permanently block a Trump executive order that targets the firm due to its ties to Andrew Weissmann, a former partner involved in the Mueller investigation. A judge has already temporarily blocked parts of the order, and other firms like Perkins Coie have secured similar rulings. Critics worry these orders could deter law firms from opposing the administration for fear of retaliation.Jenner is collaborating with former Solicitor General Paul Clement and his firm Clement & Murphy in its newest lawsuit on behalf of major research universities. They've previously teamed up to challenge medical research funding cuts, winning a preliminary court victory. Clement is also representing WilmerHale in its legal fight against Trump. The core argument in these cases is that the administration's actions infringe on constitutional rights, including free speech, due process, and equal protection.Jenner Adds Trump Fights While Fending Off Executive Order (1)The EPA under the second Trump administration is making Superfund site cleanups a central priority, aiming to accelerate remediation efforts across over 1,300 contaminated locations nationwide. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin emphasized a push for expedited timelines and tangible outcomes, positioning Superfund cleanups as visible and community-focused work that garners public support. The administration has highlighted early actions like major soil removals, enforcement efforts that secured nearly $300 million in cleanups, and the removal of four sites from the Superfund National Priorities List.Observers say this mirrors the Trump EPA's first term, which also emphasized efficiency and redevelopment of polluted sites, often encouraging private investment. However, budget constraints remain a challenge. Superfund appropriations have dropped significantly since 1999, and while the 2021 Infrastructure Act provided a temporary funding boost and reinstated taxes on chemical companies, the current administration's 2026 budget proposes a $254 million cut, claiming tax revenue will suffice.Industry groups oppose the chemical tax, while environmental experts warn that funding and staffing shortfalls could stall progress. Critics caution that setting aggressive timelines without sufficient resources could backfire, leading to missed goals and wasted efforts. To improve the program, experts suggest reforms such as more collaboration with local entities and clearer guidance on common cleanup approaches to reduce delays.Trumps' EPA Shifts to Make Superfund Cleanups a Central MissionFormer Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has retired from the law firm Paul Weiss to take on a leadership role at Columbia University, where he was elected co-chair of the board of trustees. Johnson, who served under President Obama and spent four decades at Paul Weiss, said he will miss his colleagues but is ready for the new challenge. His departure comes amid tensions between both Paul Weiss and Columbia with the Trump administration.Earlier this year, Trump issued an executive order limiting Paul Weiss's access to federal agencies, citing its ties to a prosecutor from the Russia investigation. To resolve the issue, the firm agreed to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services aligned with the administration's goals—a move criticized by some legal professionals for not challenging the order in court. Paul Weiss's chairman defended the agreement as necessary to protect the firm's future.Columbia University has also faced pressure from the Trump administration, which cut $400 million in federal funding over allegations that the school failed to address antisemitism on campus. In response, Columbia has made concessions to regain funding and recently laid off nearly 180 researchers due to financial strain. The university continues to operate without a permanent president following protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict.Johnson, a known critic of Trump's immigration policies and supporter of Kamala Harris in 2024, becomes the second high-profile departure from Paul Weiss following the firm's controversial deal with the administration.Ex-Obama cabinet secretary leaves law firm Paul Weiss for Columbia post | Reuters This is a public episode.

Jay Beeber, Executive Director of Policy at the National Motorists Association. Trump EPA sends California waivers on car and truck standards to Congress to strike down

The Trump EPA is trying to cancel $20 billion dollars of funding in what's known as the “Green Bank”, which provides loans for local clean energy, energy efficiency upgrades and more. Without providing evidence, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin accused the program of being rife with fraud and waste. Also, as costly climate disasters multiply around the planet, some financial experts are raising alarms that proceeding with business as usual without sharply reducing emissions could cut global GDP in half as soon as 2070. How human civilization can steer towards a more stable future. And for Black History Month, civil rights leader Rev. Benjamin Chavis connects the dots between the civil rights and environmental justice movements. He reflects on the first EJ battle, how he coined the term “environmental racism,” and the path forward for the EJ movement during a Trump administration that refuses to acknowledge environmental injustice.

Trump EPA Chief Lee Zeldin Says Team Found “BILLIONS” In Biden White House Waste

Black, Brown and low-income communities pushing back against industrial pollution have always had an uphill battle. But now those environmental justice fights may get even harder, as the Trump administration shutters federal EJ programs. Also, one of the many Biden Administration rules the Trump EPA has nixed is one that would have limited the amount of toxic PFAS that petrochemical and other plants can release into waterways. We explain this setback for regulating “forever chemicals” that cause cancer, immune deficiencies and other harms.  And finding the last remaining old growth in the vast forests of Maine is like finding a needle in a haystack, but LiDAR technology is helping pinpoint these biodiversity hotspots so they can be protected.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to celebrate President's Trump decisive victory and bask in the glow of the forthcoming Golden Age. While we wish it was all rainbows and butterflies from here on out, it's not. We discuss some disturbing, antisemitic news coming from the increasingly desperate “Free Palestine” movement in Europe. January 20, 2025, cannot come fast enough for all of us and our allies. Plus, we discuss Gov. Newsom's purported resistance movement, Laticia James “fat ass”, and how excited we are for the Department of Government Efficiency — aka Elon Musk's government audit. We also talk about Susie Wiles as an amazing, appropriate, and obvious pick for President Trump's White House chief of staff. Plus, we discuss Kamala's concession speech, Tim Walz' tears, and how authenticity was a key factor in Tuesday's outcome:Trump is always Trump and no one really know who Kamala is to this day.

In this spirited episode of Practically Political, hosts Dave Spencer and Carrie Sheffield engage in a candid discussion with Mandy Gunasekara, former Trump EPA Chief of Staff and author of the new book "Y'all Fire: A Southern Belle's Guide to Restoring Federalism and Training the Swamp." The conversation delves into controversial topics including the 2020 election, the role of federal bureaucracy, and potential changes to government agency staffing. Gunasekara shares personal experiences from her time at the EPA while defending Trump administration policies, leading to passionate debates with Spencer about democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power. The episode offers listeners an inside look at environmental policy-making while highlighting the deep divisions in current American political discourse.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff, and newly published author, Mandy Gunasekara to discuss Kamala's flailing campaign and how President Trump has all the momentum going into these last two weeks. Plus, Ben asks hard questions about the driving forces behind a cultural and political revolution that we believe is beneficial for President Trump and his America first movement. We get into the polls – what to believe and what not to believe – shifting demographics of Trump support, and the difference between the Left and the Right's definition of opportunity. Mandy takes a moment to highlight her book, Y'all Fired: A Southern Belle's Guide to Restoring Federalism and Draining the Swamp, and Judah pressures the ranters to buy it on either Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Finally, we all believe in the power of prayer, and so much more.

Rich talks with Col. William Dunn (Ret.), author of "Gunfighters Rule!," about the possibility of an all-out war in the Middle East as things heat up between Israel and Iran. Then we get some post-debate analysis from Hogan Gidley, former deputy press secretary for the Trump administration.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the consequences of cowards leading our country on personal safety, free speech, international standing (or lack thereof), open borders, and the economy. How the appropriate reaction to six hostages being murdered by terrorists is to be disgusted at the guys who pulled the trigger. We also discuss the latest lies from the Kamala campaign and want to remind the Governor of Wisconsin it's Tim Walz, not Tom (yikes). Plus, we dig through all the polling messaging and reveal its true purpose; even though President Trump is not a saint – who among us is – we believe he is the savior our country needs to get us back on track; and for Americans looking for truth or values, we suggest they look to God and not the highly bolshevized cadre of Hollywood. Plus so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss President Trump's re-indictment by Jack Smith, despite the recent Supreme Court smack down (quick refresher: SCOTUS interpreted presidential immunity broadly delivering a devastating blow to Mr. Smith's argument). Ben raises the point of double jeopardy and Judah makes clear that since they couldn't kill him, they are once again trying to put him in jail. We also discuss the Left's motivations for power, how conservatives can beat the media, and the importance of due process. Plus, so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the never-ending stream of lies coming from the Harris-Walz campaign. In case you missed it, Tim Walz lied about his wife getting IVF. We thought the stolen valor problems were bad enough. Plus, Judah points out the false sense of momentum the Polymarket is generating for Kamala. As our behind-the-scenes pod consultant ‘Border G' has made clear, these polls don't just have a margin of error, they represent a margin of fraud. If you tune into the DNC Convention this week, you'll see it on full display (although we are not recommending you do so). Plus, so much more!

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss how the Harris-Walz slogan “spread the joy” is more fitting as the start of porno (in case you missed the new title of the show). They also discuss the growing instability in the middle east as Iran continues to reap the benefits of the Biden-Harris pro-Iranian stance, and the seriousness of the upcoming election. Plus, they discuss the two miracles that made the Elon and Trump's Spaces discussion happen on X. Ben provides an important history lesson of why Germany didn't' actually win the race to create the first nuclear bomb, and how this continues to be relevant today. Plus, so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the real purpose of Project 2025 and why the Left-wing media has gone out of their way to distort it (hint, it starts and ends with politics). Plus, they talk about Kamala's recent “blackness,” the juxtaposition of the Trump Administration record and the DNC's anti-freedom platform. Mandy gives a short dissertation on the need for American energy independence, Ben provides historical context for why it matters, and Judah reminds us that we should all consider principles over personality when it comes to voting for the future of our country. Of course we talk about Israel, and so much more.

Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered more than enough delegates for the Democratic nomination for President. We review her record on the environment, which has included prosecuting cases against polluting oil companies, supporting a Green New Deal, and representing the US at UN climate meetings. Also, the four years of the Trump Administration brought over a hundred regulatory rollbacks, the exit of the US from the Paris Climate Agreement, and a conservative dominated Supreme Court that is skeptical of environmental regulation. We hear insights from a former Trump EPA official, environmental policy experts and advocates about the environmental impacts of the Trump presidency and what a second one could bring.  Plus: a scientist who rappels down cliffs to hand-pollinate endangered plants; a vine that mimics the leaves of nearby species; rice that crowds out strangers but leaves room for the roots of relatives. All of these are featured in the new book The Light Eaters, which tackles big questions of plant intelligence, consciousness, and communication. -- What issues are you most interested in having Living on Earth cover in the 2024 election season?

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss Biden's “bad night” at the debate and how the American people aren't buying it. Whatever the supposed excuse – “a cold” or “international travel” – we know it's concocted BS. The reality is that the American people got a snapshot of Joe Biden's true cognitive state (yikes!) and it's clear he is not really running the county. Plus, they discuss Project 2025, you can check out more here, and recent Supreme Court decisions on Chevron and Presidential Immunity. Mandy gets a bit wonky, Ben asks the best questions, and Judah clarifies that it's better to ask questions to get answers than to sound smart. Plus, so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the growth of antisemitism, and mainstream media's willingness to avoid covering these tragic stories. It's another sick form of media manipulation. Plus, we discuss the continued silence of U.S.-based “women's groups” that seem to not care about egregious violence perpetrated against Israeli women, especially those at the Supernova music festival on October 7th. Mandy suggests many of the U.S.-based women's groups care more about expanding the political control of the Left rather than improving women's lives in any meaningful way. Finally, they discuss the consequences of appeasement in foreign policy, the GOP disadvantage in mainstream media – why do they always make us look bad, and so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the sad state of San Francisco – crime has increased by 76% over the past three years – and how this once shining city is Exhibit A of Leftist policies in real life. Unfortunately, too many other once great U.S. cities have followed. Plus, they discuss the political persecution of President Trump, the importance of the ten commandments and Biden's ineffective, idiotic, and damaging diplomacy that is undermining Israel – our most important ally. Plus so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the latest in President Trump's trial. Our take, this case should have never been brought and continues to make a mockery of our judicial system. The insider's scoop on outcome is a 50/50 hung jury. We shall see. They also discuss the consequences of our current, weak president in foreign policy and how a Trump Admin 2.0 would likely take on the challenge. The key is prioritizing America and our allies' interests first. Novel, we know

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss a very important and sometimes repeated theme of the show: this country, the United States of America, is worth saving. It's still a place where merit gets you places regardless of your origin or societal affiliations. Unfortunately, the Left is trying to destroy this, and we are not ashamed to be a part of the people pushing back. Plus, we discuss Ben's affinity for swimming, how we continue to have Trump's back and so much more. Bonus for those who watch the show on Rumble, Ben is in his very fine robe.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the four scariest words President Biden has ever said, “I've got your back.” Why is this scary? Because every time he says it, he means the opposite, especially for our most important ally, Israel. Plus, we discuss the growing institutional rot at our nation's colleges and the mockery the Left is making of our judicial system in their ongoing persecution of President Trump. We, as citizens of this great country, have a lot to fight for and a lot on the line this November. And finally, say a prayer for Ben and his tooth.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff to discuss the lack of adults and courage among disillusioned youth at Colombia University. We all agree Colombia has really gone downhill since producing the one and only Ben Stein. Plus, Pecker's testimony against president trump falls flat and makes clear that the New York case is as unserious as the National Inquirer is about politics. And we continue to ask the question, where are republicans in stepping up to call out the absurdity of the Left and ruthlessly defend our greatest ally – Israel. Bueller? Bueller? Unfortunately, the Dems are better at the power game, and so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss Team Biden's condolences for OJ Simpson. Apparently, they will say and do just about anything to keep the black vote. Plus, they discuss the continued bastardization of our judiciary and query what would happen if Trump is elected to a second term from jail. Also, Team Biden is making Israel take care of the terrorists that are trying to murder and annihilate all the Jews in order to receive military support. This seems crazy to us. There is a less on this in Esther, plus so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the shallow and politically motivated actions of our current president, including announcing a “Trans Visibility Day” on Easter. In case you didn't catch the follow-up, President Biden claimed he “didn't do that” when confronted about the action one day later. Guess the short-term memory loss is a real thing. Plus, they discussed the latest gag order against President Trump, the downfall of the judiciary, and how leftists are hell-bent on destroying all great things, including the once great republic of California. We give a shout out to RFK Jr. for having a spine and J.K. Rowling for standing strong against the crazies that need help, not a taxpayer funded pedestal. Plus, so much more.

Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the disgusting weaponization of the courts against President Trump and all that he represents. Judah is on to something suggesting that this approach is backfiring as more people trend towards supporting President Trump – even more than the polls suggest – in response to the Left's bastardization of our Constitution and foundational principles. This is why the VP pick is extremely important. Plus, they discuss trends of younger voters, the origin of a Fifth Column, and, if you haven't seen the movie Jesus Revolution, you should check it out. Plus, so much more

Mandy Gunasekara 8:11 PM (0 minutes ago) to me Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the never-ending assault against President Trump. At this point Democrats have found a way to turn just about every key, American institution into a weapon against their chief political opponent. Judah poses the question of what will actually happen if President Trump wins the 2024 election. Plus, Mandy gives a preview of what a Trump Administration 2.0 would look like from a policy perspective, Judah explains why the United Nations should be disbanded, and Ben clarifies the importance of NATO—a strategic alliance with a purpose. We all agree Israel is our most important ally and Ben and Mandy get a bit technical about emissions. Plus, so much more.
