Jon Herold and Chris Paul are joined by Ghost for a focused discussion on Venezuela, regime change narratives, and the growing tension between public perception and operational reality. The episode centers on reactions to Nicolás Maduro's removal, how the media and political class are framing the event, and why certain details remain deliberately unclear. Ghost walks through strategic considerations involving continuity of government, preexisting authorities, and why silence or ambiguity can be more powerful than formal declarations. The conversation also examines the War Powers Act, congressional pressure, and whether recent actions meet the legal definition of armed conflict. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize patience, narrative discipline, and the dangers of forcing premature conclusions, while engaging with live chat and addressing internal debates within the audience. The show closes with reflections on information warfare, timing, and why understanding what is not being said is just as important as what is openly stated.

Congressional Republicans defect to support two Democratic resolutions. It's not exactly a show of spine — maybe a vertebrae — but is it the beginning of something? Yet another US Attorney gets disqualified, this time in New York. Meanwhile Judges in Virginia wonder how it's remotely ethical for Lindsey Halligan to present herself in court filings as a US Attorney. The DOJ is violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And what legal recourse is there for the family of Renee Good, who was executed by ICE officers in Minneapolis.

Welcome back to Now I Get It. In this episode, I break down a term we hear all the time in national security conversations but rarely slow down to understand: harm's way. I explore how this concept is traditionally defined in U.S. military policy, why it matters, and how it's being challenged by the current use of remote warfare. Using the recent drone-led attacks in the Caribbean as a backdrop, I look at what happens when technology distances human operators from physical danger—yet still places the country itself in profound geopolitical risk.I also dig into the overlooked consequences of attacking vessels on the open sea, why the flag a boat flies carries legal and military implications, and how these actions can provoke entirely justified responses from nation-states. From asymmetric warfare to murky acts of sabotage and drone incursions, I explore how conflicts escalate without ever being formally declared—and how decisions made far from the battlefield ripple out to place the entire U.S. military, and even the country, in harm's way.In this episode, you will learn:(00:00) Why “harm's way” matters in today's military decisions(00:23) How drone warfare challenges the War Powers Act(01:03) Why attacking a flagged vessel is an act of war(01:45) How asymmetric warfare enables covert retaliation(02:28) Why murky attacks blur responsibility in global conflict(03:14) How U.S. drone strikes put the entire military at riskLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

This conversation delves into the complexities of the American judicial system, focusing on the judicial branch's powers, the concept of judicial review, and the critical justiciability doctrines such as standing, ripeness, and mootness. It explores the intricate balance of powers between the branches of government, the evolution of federalism, and the impact of the administrative presidency. The discussion also highlights the ongoing debates surrounding judicial interpretation, restraint, and activism, emphasizing the dynamic nature of constitutional law.In the intricate tapestry of the American legal system, the judicial branch stands as a pillar of interpretation and authority. For law students and legal enthusiasts, understanding the nuances of judicial power and constitutional interpretation is crucial. This exploration delves into the foundational elements of Article 3, the pivotal role of judicial review, and the dynamic interplay of separation of powers and federalism.The Essence of Judicial Power: Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution lays the groundwork for judicial authority, defining the scope and limitations of federal courts. This isn't merely a list of cases; it's a profound limitation on judicial power, ensuring that courts only intervene in genuine legal controversies. The landmark case of Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review, empowering courts to invalidate laws that conflict with the Constitution.Justiciability Doctrines: The doctrines of standing, ripeness, and mootness serve as gatekeepers, ensuring that courts address only real, concrete disputes. These principles prevent the judiciary from overstepping into political questions or hypothetical scenarios, maintaining the delicate balance of power among the branches of government.Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances: The framers of the Constitution meticulously designed a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from becoming too dominant. The legislative, executive, and judicial branches each have distinct roles, with reciprocal powers to check one another. Historical examples, such as the court-packing attempt by FDR and the War Powers Act, illustrate the dynamic tension and negotiation inherent in this system.Federalism and the Evolving Landscape: Federalism, the division of power between national and state governments, is a core tenet of the American constitutional framework. The balance of power is constantly negotiated, influenced by political, social, and technological changes. The rise of the administrative presidency and the Supreme Court's role in mediating federalism disputes highlight the ongoing evolution of this relationship.The journey through judicial power and constitutional interpretation is one of complexity and constant reevaluation. For law students, mastering these doctrines and understanding their historical and contemporary applications is essential. As the legal landscape continues to shift, a deep grasp of these principles will serve as an anchor, enabling critical thinking and persuasive argumentation in an ever-changing world.Subscribe now to stay informed on the latest insights in constitutional law and beyond.TakeawaysUnderstanding the judicial branch is foundational to constitutional law.Judicial review, established in Marbury v. Madison, is a key power of the judiciary.Justiciability doctrines like standing, ripeness, and mootness are essential for legal arguments.Separation of powers and checks and balances are crucial to prevent tyranny.Federalism balances state and federal powers, with ongoing debates about their limits.The rise of the administrative presidency has shifted power dynamics in federalism.judicial branch, judicial review, justiciability doctrines, standing, ripeness, mootness, separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, administrative presidency, judicial interpretation

With the recent bombing by the United States of Iran's nuclear facilities, there is renewed interest in presidential war powers. The Founding Fathers were clear: Presidents do NOT have the power to engage in offensive military engagements without the consent of Congress. This is a foreign concept to modern Americans as Presidents have ordered hundreds, if not thousands, of military strikes over the past 200 years without conferring with Congress. In this episode, we examine what the Constitution says about war and what the word "war" meant to the founding generation. We also review how the first four Presidents handled war and, finally, we examine the redundant and unconstitutional War Powers Act of 1973.

President Trump's decision to strike Iran has sparked debate in Congress over the executive branch's ability to take military action without authorization. The strikes Trump ordered last week were in line with recent precedent. But some critics and supporters alike are calling for restrictions to his ability to take further action in Iran. House Speaker Mike Johnson called the debate ill-timed, and openly questioned the constitutionality of the War Powers Act. That act requires the president to seek Congressional approval before declarations of war. Is this another battleground in the fight over legislative checks and balances?Trump's assistance with a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran led to a warm reception at a NATO security summit later in the week. The summit was planned to discuss the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Iran, and other alliance concerns. Much of the focus landed on the ceasefire and an agreement by members to commit 5% of their GDP to defense. The new spending mark was seen as a major concession to Trump, who had threatened since his first term to leave the alliance if it wasn't met. But was the decision made more for self-preservation than appeasement?Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, won the Democratic primary in New York City's mayoral race. Progressives are pointing to his victory as a beacon for Democrats nationwide to push further to the left. Does that ignore the fact that he ran against the scandal-ridden former governor Andrew Cuomo?
In this episode, Dale and Kurt discuss the latest in Iran with US bombing raids on nuclear facilities and an apparent ceasefire. Plus, impeachment 3.0, comparing media and democrat treatment of bombing to other presidents, more on the War Powers Act, an update on the "BBB", and No Kings 2.0 on July 4th.Make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share Dale Carter's America with your friends!

We continue our in-depth discussion of President Trump's recent decision to authorize military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites—a move that has sparked intense debate both in Washington and around the world. The strikes, which targeted three key facilities believed to be central to Iran's nuclear weapons development, have been praised by some as a necessary show of strength. However, critics of the president are raising serious constitutional and legal concerns.Among the most vocal opponents is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who, along with several other progressive lawmakers, argues that the president's actions violate the War Powers Act. According to AOC, the decision to launch a military operation without congressional approval oversteps the authority granted to the executive branch and sets a dangerous precedent for unilateral military action. She and others have called for an immediate congressional review and potential legislative pushback.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderEaston University - https://www.eastonuniversity.comRed, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.

In this breaking news special, Gary Hoffman unpacks the shockwaves from the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, revealing how a top-secret operation unfolded with surgical precision. He breaks down why President Trump bypassed Congress, how deception played a critical role, and why Iran may be far weaker than it seems. Plus: live updates from Downtown L.A. with KFI's Michael Monks, chilling church security footage out of Michigan, and Gary's clear-eyed take on what the War Powers Act really allows.
On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, peace is not mere avoidance of conflict but a state secured through strength and decisive action against threats like Iran's nuclear ambitions. No great president—Washington, Lincoln, Reagan, or Trump—would tolerate such dangers. "America First" prioritizes national security and global stability, not isolationism. It demands pragmatic, not ideological, foreign policy, assessing each threat uniquely. Labeling prudent action as "pro-war" is a misnomer; opposing nuclear-armed terrorists is pro-American. A Kamala Harris presidency, aligning with appeasement, would weaken America and allies like Israel. Trump's leadership, grounded in common sense, rejects endless wars but never shies from necessary action. Also, Israel has a right to live in a free society. These attacks from Iran, ongoing for years and escalating since October 7th, force Israelis to live in constant fear, with frequent sirens driving families to seek shelter in protective rooms or basements multiple times a day. This relentless situation disrupts normal life, preventing children from playing in parks or attending school regularly, and could cause significant psychological strain. Later, some members of Congress, mostly Democrats and a few Republicans, are attempting to undermine the President's authority as Commander-in-Chief by citing the War Powers Act of 1973. This law is unconstitutional, as it shifts power from the President to Congress, contradicting the Constitution's design. The President, it asserts, holds sole authority over military decisions, while Congress's role is limited to declaring war and controlling funding. Afterward, Sean Hannity calls in to discuss the Israel/Iran war. Hannity explains that Trump's leadership is defined by common-sense principles, particularly his consistent stance since 2011 that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. He contrasts this with misguided isolationism, asserting that preventing a nuclear-armed Iran is critical to global security. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
