About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the US Court of International Trade’s ruling saying that Trump overstepped his authority when he used the Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify his tariff policy. And they talk about a Boston-based judge extended her block of the Trump Administration’s efforts to stop Harvard from enrolling foreign students. Then they discuss President Trump’s use of the pardon, including his recent pardon of Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who was convicted of stealing $11 million in payroll taxes and whose mother contributed more than $1 million to the Trump campaign. Plus, they mull over NPR filing a suit against the Trump Administration, claiming efforts to defund the network abridge the company’s right to free speech. Next, Carl Cannon talks to National Journal White House correspondent George E. Condon about President Trump’s practice of inviting foreign leaders to the Oval Office for sometimes fiery exchanges before the press. And finally, Andrew Walworth talks with Guy Ciarocchi, contributor to RealClear Pennsylvania and a Senior Fellow at the Commonwealth Foundation, about the recent approval by President Trump of the merger between Nippon and US Steel, and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro’s strategy for winning the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2028.
