The Supreme Court just ruled 5-4 that ballots arriving after Election Day can still be counted — handing Democrats another way to turn Election Night into Election Week heading into the midterms. Pat breaks down exactly why this is a massive blow to common sense and election integrity. Chief Justice Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals to uphold Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to roll in up to five days later. Nearly 30 states have similar rules, and we have seen how this drags things out — especially in places like California. The majority held that federal law doesn't require ballots to arrive by Election Day, just get postmarked. Dissenting conservatives, including Alito, warned it undermines the whole point of a single Election Day. Pat also covered: Clarence Thomas at the Capitol: 'Meeting nobody' — brushes off reporter cold. Hakeem Jeffries losing control as socialists take over Democrats? Last day of Pride Month — Pat Gray: Are YOU celebrating? "Extreme weather demands sacrifice" — from everyone except EU executives. The Left heading toward MORE violence toward rich Americans. Do you trust that late ballots are always legit, or is this just asking for more problems? Should Election Day actually mean something again? Drop your thoughts below — Pat reads the comments.

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.” And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Trump on Monday blasted a Supreme Court opinion upholding a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots received up to five days after Election Day to be counted. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump nominee, rebuked Republicans' arguments in the case, writing that as long as Election Day is the statutorily required date on which a vote is submitted and that "election-day statutes do not set a deadline for ballot receipt." Trump fired back hours later on Truth Social, calling the case a "tremendous loss" for voters' rights and saying the ruling means Congress must moot it immediately by passing the SAVE America Act. Also President Trump says he will 'continue the fight' after Supreme Court declines to review Carroll abuse verdict / the strategy of World Cup soccer players / Democrat's disdain for living in the U.S. / and foreign nationals fascinated with the abundance of American goods.

The U.K. is experiencing a record heat wave, and the country is split between some citizens questioning the ethics of using air conditioning and others resorting to storming storefronts to get portable air conditioners for their homes. But throughout the U.K., police are showing up at homes suspected of using too much AC, and some schools are being stripped of AC units. Glenn also reacts to the recent attacks on government officials that occurred throughout the weekend, which proves that religious radicals will stop at nothing and destroy everybody standing in their way.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon discusses the latest Supreme Court rulings that have significant implications for American elections and presidential powers. With the nation just days away from its 250th birthday, Solomon reflects on a surprising 5-4 decision allowing election votes to be counted after Election Day, a ruling that caught both conservatives and liberals off guard. He also highlights a major victory for President Trump, who now has enhanced authority to regulate independent board members, following a 6-3 ruling in his favor.Listeners will hear about the ongoing E. Jean Carroll defamation case, where the Supreme Court declined to intervene, as well as the alarming incident involving a JetBlue flight that was struck by a drone while landing at JFK Airport. Solomon emphasizes the growing dangers posed by drones in aviation and the need for increased awareness and regulation.Joining the discussion is Senator Rick Scott, who advocates for daily Senate votes on the Save America Act and shares his thoughts on recent tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The episode also features Keith Krach, CEO of Freedom 250, discussing the upcoming anniversary celebrations, and Carrie Severino, a Supreme Court expert, who provides insights into the significant rulings of the day.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The end is nigh! Or, the end of this Supreme Court term is nigh, at least. On the second to last day of this term, the court's right wingers delivered a sweeping ruling that will reshape the federal government for years to come. In Trump v. Slaughter, the conservative supermajority voted 6-3 to allow the president to fire members of independent regulatory agencies—overturning Humphrey's Executor, a 91-year-old unanimous precedent—and handing Trump effective control over agencies that regulate consumer protection, nuclear energy, union activity, mine safety, and more. But the Roberts majority weren't quite ready to hand the nation's credit card (and their investment portfolios) over to the mad king, and so the Federal Reserve got a carve-out in a separate 5-4 ruling in Trump v. Cook. How did they reach these wildly different conclusions in such closely related cases? Justice Roberts offered a barely argued rationale, but who needs a rationale if your red lines are painted in a crimson of pure cynicism?The court also handed down a significant Fourth Amendment ruling on geofence warrants, with Justice Kagan writing for a 6-3 majority that such warrants constitute a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. And in Watson v. Republican National Committee, the court upheld state laws allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive shortly after. But the squeaker of a 5-4 majority was deeply alarming in a case that played to some of the justices' fox-brained ideas about election fraud. Justice Alito and his fellow dissenters appear to have signed onto the wholly unsupported view that Democrat wins are always suspect, and the only way to restore trust in voting is to restrict voting.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled on two cases that deal with major political battles. The first deals with mail-in voting, which President Trump has criticized for years. The Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that allows election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later.In another ruling, the High Court ruled that Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, can stay in her job for now.Both rulings are considered a loss for President Trump.

In part one of our Supreme Court decisions coverage, Charles C. W. Cooke, Richard Epstein, and John Yoo break down the decisions handed down today, beginning with the Court's treatment of presidential removal power in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook (no relation) —the first apparently overruling Humphrey's Executor for ordinary agencies, the second preserving a major carveout for the Federal Reserve. They also debate Chatrie v. United States, a Fourth Amendment case involving law enforcement's use of geofencing warrants and cellphone location data, and close with Watson v. Republican National Committee, in which Justice Amy Coney Barrett held that states may count mail-in ballots received after Election Day unless Congress clearly says otherwise. Along the way, the hosts argue over the administrative state, judicial independence, election integrity, and whether the Roberts Court is as predictable—or as partisan—as its critics claim. Part two will be on Thursday, with a decision expected on (cue dramatic music)...birthright citizenship!

The Upstate is officially turning up the heat!
The final fight for individual liberty is going down right now, and it is time to choose a side!
The political machine is in for a massive shock!
The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether states can count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day. The decision could dramatically reshape how elections are administered in California and nationwide. Meanwhile, California's slow vote-counting process continues to draw national criticism. Marisa is joined by Assemblymember Gail Pellerin, who spent nearly three decades as Santa Cruz County's chief election official. Pellerin pushes back on criticisms of the state's process, arguing it is working exactly as it should. Check out Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.

Utah's primary election day is tomorrow and the candidates are in the final throes of the race. While candidates are in their final push to win votes, there's also some negative campaigning going on as some candidates hope to make last-minute changes to the trajectory of the races. Some of that controversy going on right now is thanks largely in part to the incumbents running and the difference between official mailers and campaign mailers.

Take 2: Utah's Legislature with Heidi Hatch, Greg Hughes and Jim Dabakis
HOST: Heidi HatchGUESTS: Maura Carabello, John Dougall ICE plans to sell warehouse facilities in Salt Lake, six other cities moving back to existing detention space “From day one, DHS has remained singularly focused on removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the United States and is always evaluating the best methods to do so. These heinous criminals, once arrested, should be removed at lightning speed, not housed on American soil at the taxpayer's expense. DHS is moving swiftly to utilize EXISTING detention space with our state and county partners.” - DHS Voter Turnout - Thursday 5pm Salt Lake County 20% A new Utah law requires mail ballots to be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Previously, ballots only needed a postmark by the day before Election Day. The change comes from HB300, which passed the Legislature last year. Trump on Utah Mail in Ballots Will Utah's new deadlines avoid headlines we are seeing out of California with long delays Utah County Clerk's Office hired a 23-year-old conservative influencer to be the chief deputy clerk Karianne Lisonbee, without evidence, accuses Blake Moore of ‘insider trading' before deleting X post Salt Lake County Allegations Liban Mohamed was escorting voters to the polls- Clerk apologizes Utah Supreme Court Justices approved by Senate Statement from the Utah Democratic Party on the Packing of Utah's Supreme Court “It is not a coincidence that these appointments come as the Supreme Court prepares to hear landmark cases on redistricting and reproductive rights. Across this country, courts are being reshaped not to deliver justice, but to preserve political power. Our state is not immune. Utahns deserve better.” Iran Memorandum of Understanding Both sides agreed to "the immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon." Iran can begin exporting oil as soon as the MOU is signed. Iran "will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa." The U.S. and regional partners will develop a reconstruction plan for Iran worth at least $300 billion. Iran affirms that it "shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons." The two sides "have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpiled enriched material." U.S. sanctions on Iran will be lifted on schedule as a part of a final deal, linked to nuclear compliance. There will be 60 days to sign a final agreement, which the two sides can agree to extend.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, despite recent close military cooperation with Israel, President Trump's want for an Iran deal has led to significant restrictions on Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These include limiting it to a defensive war against thousands of Hezbollah missiles and drones, barring action near Beirut, and pulling back Israeli forces after responses. The U.S. would not tolerate such threats itself. Since 1948, Israel has not been free to destroy its enemies. And they've paid a price for it every time. Iran is lucky Israel is not alone, or the regime would be wiped out. Also, Gov Gavin Newsom has legalized election fraud in California by mailing ballots to every residence (regardless of moves), eliminating voter ID requirements, allowing mail-in ballots to be postmarked up to seven days after Election Day, and enabling unlimited third-party voter harvesting of ballots. These measures allow votes to be cast or delivered after initial results are known, making fraud difficult to detect or prosecute since the barriers against it have been removed by law. This sustains a one-party Democratic state. Later, Graham Platner is as a former Nazi who is now an admitted communist, has manhandled women, cheated on his wife multiple times, engaged in perverse behavior in public bathrooms, and spent years on the Kik site associated with pedophiles. Yet, Democrats dismiss these issues, urging voters to ignore them in favor of his stances on Medicare for all, destroying ICE, and defunding law enforcement. The Democrat Party prioritizes power over character. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including growing scrutiny of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner after financial disclosures appeared to contradict his carefully crafted image as a working-class oyster farmer, revealing that veteran disability benefits account for far more of his income than oyster farming and harbor work; new questions surrounding Platner's campaign as critics point to family financial support, his business arrangements, and a string of recent controversies; and a major Supreme Court case, Watson v. Republican National Committee, that could dramatically reshape election laws nationwide by determining whether ballots arriving after Election Day can still be counted, potentially impacting states like California where races such as Spencer Pratt vs. Nithya Raman and Karen bass remain unresolved days after voting ended, and much more.
California has transformed into a single-party monopoly where the legislative, executive, and judicial branches actively subvert the will of the voters. Through lax voting laws, ballot harvesting, and a lack of voter identification requirements, the state has institutionalized a system where early conservative leads are routinely erased weeks after Election Day. The controversy surrounding Spencer Pratt, Nithya Raman, and the Los Angeles mayoral race is connected to a broader pattern that crushes democracy every time, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
