Segment Topic:
Jake and the Judge
- Pre-emptive pardons
- Birthright citizenship headed to the SCOTUS for the first time?
- The battle over Tick Tock and the First Amendment!
- TikTok and the Freedom of Speech
“Congress shall make no law …
abridging the freedom of speech
or of the press…”
–First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
During the oral argument before the Supreme Court in the famous Pentagon Papers case, a fascinating colloquy took place between Justice William O. Douglas and the lawyer for the government. The case was about whether the government could prevent The New York Times and The Washington Post from publishing secret documents that demonstrated that American generals had been misleading President Lyndon Johnson and he had been lying to the American public during the Vietnam War.
The documents had been stolen by Daniel Ellsberg, a civilian employee of the Department of Defense, in an act of great personal courage and constitutional fidelity, and then delivered to both newspapers. Two federal judges had enjoined the newspapers from publishing the documents, and the Supreme Court was hearing appeals by the newspapers.
When Justice Douglas asked the government lawyer if the phrase “no law” in the First Amendment literally means no law, he was unable to answer. The court found his mumbo jumbo reasoning so telling that it actually published the transcript of the Q and A in the court’s opinion itself — something it had not done before in modern times nor since.
The court ruled in that landmark case that freedom of speech and the right to know what the government is doing and the right to consult whatever source one chooses when forming an opinion each trump the government’s concerns for protection of state secrets. Thus, it matters not how the media obtains information; if it is material to the public interest, the media may publish it, without fear of civil or criminal liability.
The Pentagon Papers case was the high watermark for the freedom of speech: Freedom trumps safety. But the court studiously avoided answering Justice Douglas’ question about no law. If the Constitution means what it says, then no law literally means no law, and thus all sorts of legislation about speech — from defamation to treason to silencing TikTok — is unconstitutional. But if no law doesn’t really mean no law, then what does it mean?
Regrettably, today, no law means whatever the court says it means. That’s what happened last week when the court upheld congressional legislation silencing TikTok.
The legislation was based on Congress’ authority under the Commerce Clause to ban offensive products. Yet, rather than analyzing the legislation based on that, the court — mouthing similar mumbo jumbo as the DoJ lawyer in the Pentagon Papers case — ruled that if Congress decides that some commonly used instrument is detrimental to national security, then the court will not second guess Congress, even if this has the ancillary effect of abridging upon the freedom of speech.
This ruling, which effectively overruled the Pentagon Papers case, turns First Amendment jurisprudence on its head.
The courts have long recognized the freedom of speech as a natural human right. James Madison, who drafted the Constitution and wrote the First Amendment, understood that the right comes from our humanity. The First Amendment does not grant the freedom of speech; rather, it bars Congress from abridging it. Since the ratification of the 14th Amendment and subsequent judicial opinions, the prohibition upon interfering with speech restrains all levels of government — federal, state and local — and to all branches of government — legislative, executive and judicial.
Those of us who believe that the Constitution means what it says also recognize that the freedom of speech encompasses ancillary rights — such as the right to silence, the right to read and gather information from whatever source one chooses, and the right to transmit free speech using whatever means one chooses. Under this Madisonian view of free speech, Congress can no more tell any person how and where to express an idea than it can tell any person what to read or not read.
Yet the Supreme Court, whose principal job is to preserve personal liberty and private property from the reach of the government — the judiciary in this respect is the anti-democratic branch of government — utterly failed to do its job, bowing to undemonstrated congressional fears of Chinese Communist party officials hacking into the mobile devices of youthful TikTok users.
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
The greatest computer-hacking enterprise on the planet is the federal government’s own National Security Agency. That’s your friendly 60,000-person strong domestic spying apparatus, which unconstitutionally captures without search warrants every keystroke on every device and all data transmitted into, out of and within the United States. All of this is funded by the same Congress that will crush the free speech rights of adults because it fears foreign hacking of their children.
Do you see what has happened here? The same government that cannot audit its own Department of Defense, that can’t balance its own budget, that can’t even deliver the mail is going to protect us from the Chinese — even if free speech is impaired in the process!
The legislation Congress enacted and that the Supreme Court upheld is profoundly at odds with basic American values. Among those values is that nothing trumps the freedom of speech. Without it, we cannot fulfill our aspirations as human beings or pursue happiness (remember that?).
This week, President Donald Trump directed his Department of Justice not to enforce the TikTok ban for 75 days in the hope of some pro-free speech resolution.
Doesn’t the Constitution mean what it says? Doesn’t no law mean no law? Isn’t the Constitution Madison gave us the supreme law of the land? The answer to all these questions is: YES. But the Constitution and its guarantees are only as vital as is the fidelity of the folks in whose hands we have reposed it for safekeeping.
In that respect, we have failed miserably.

Segment Topic:
- Woke Bishop: Episcopal Bishop is NOT the only one!
- Remember the controversy over President Donald Trump’s visit to the St. John Paul II National Shrine highlighted a potential new development in the Catholic Church’s relationship with the presidency in the United States.

(National Catholic Register)
- Pope Francis has appointed Cardinal Robert McElroy, a vocal defender of migrants and critic of Donald Trump’s first administration, as the next archbishop of Washington, DC.
- Cardinal McElroy, 70, is a strong supporter of Francis’ priorities on refugees, the environment and welcoming LGBTQ Catholics. He will succeed Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 77, who was the first African-American Archbishop of Washington, DC. (CNN 1/7/25)

As of 2021, 12.1 millionacres were leased and, according to the Biden administration, the OCS is 2.3 billion acres).
- In yet another effort to shut down oil and gas production on federal lands, the Biden administration made it substantiallymore expensive to operate, increasing royalty rates and disproportionately hurting America’s smaller, independently owned companies (those who employ an average of 15 people). Will you commit to jettisoning the Biden royalty rate increases as a way to encourage more American energy production and make it possible for small and start-up businesses to participate once again?
- It has recently come to lightthat the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was deliberately abused in an effort to halt the construction of the Tellico Dam by the Tennessee Valley Authority. We should also not forget how the ESA was infamously used to kill the timber industry by way of the spotted owl, and, along with it, tens of thousands of jobs in the Pacific Northwest. The egregious exploitation of the ESA has been used countless times to stop American progress. What will you do to stop the abuse of the ESA?
- Last year the Biden administration finalized their “Public Lands Rule.” This was designed to eviscerate the multi-use requirements of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA). Will you review this regulation and take appropriate steps to promote the requirements of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA)?
- A poll foundthat 88% of voters believe it is important to produce natural gas and oil in the United States; 90% believe producing natural gas and oil strengthens the U.S. economy; and 85% believe that producing natural gas and oil in the United States helps make it more secure against actions by countries such as China and Russia. What concrete steps can you take to ensure the will of the American people is followed and federal lands continue to be used for energy production?

Panelist:
Tom Pyle, President, American Energy Alliance
11:10 AM ET
Segment Topic:
- The release of Jack Smith’s Report:
- Jack claims that Trump would have been convicted.
- Prosecution without a defense?
- Prosecution without the possibility of rebuttal?
- Should reports such as these where there was no trial, no conviction ever be released?
- Special counsel David Weiss, who successfully prosecuted first son Hunter Biden on tax fraud and gun charges, slammed President Biden’s criticism of his investigation as “gratuitous and wrong” in a report on the years-long investigation released Monday.
- “Other presidents have pardoned family members, but in doing so, none have taken the occasion as an opportunity to malign the public servants at the Department of Justice based solely on false accusations,” Weiss wrote in his 27-page report. (NY Post)
- Back in 2018, John D. O’Connor penned an opinion piece for the Daily Caller: “Ecological Sustainability Enabled California’s Ecological Armageddon.”
- The truth is as ugly as it is undeniable: well-meaning environmental absolutists preaching “ecological sustainability” have hamstrung important, truly ecologically sustainable activities such as timber harvesting, salvage for insect infestation, controlled burns and other time-tested management practices.
- When forests burn, all sequestered carbon dioxide is released, along with other poisons such as nitrogen oxide (acid rain) and carbon monoxide. One-million six-hundred acresof California forest, burned just in 2018 alone, emitted, at an estimated 450 trees-per-acre, approximately 700 million tons of carbon dioxide, or about six times as much carbon dioxide emitted annually by all the autos in the state.
- John, what kind of political damage have the fires in the Southland done to Gavin Newsome?
- John, what did it look like to the Los Angeles media that a British journalist from Sky News had to pepper Karen Bass on a Jetway with questions about her trip to Ghana – rather than local Los Angeles media?
- Jack claims that Trump would have been convicted.

- Motorists heading into Lower and Midtown Manhattan are now forced to shell out a first-in-the-nation $9 congestion toll.
- “My constituents who still have no real public transit connection to Manhattan are looking forward to treating the posh, transit-rich, gentrified, brownstone Brooklyn as their new park-and-ride,” quipped NYC Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island).
- The FDNY will be forced to use firetrucks and other heavy vehicles to move firefighters around the city because smoke eaters will no longer want to drive their personal cars…
- The Queensborough Bridge is no longer a free ride into Manhattan
- Manhattan residents who live in Manhattan south of 60th Street can’t escape paying the new congestion toll — even if they don’t drive.

10:35 AM ET
Segment Topic
- Joe Biden is blocking oil drilling across 625 million acres of U.S. waters. Americans for Prosperity (AFP), the nation’s largest grassroots organization, is calling him out.
-
AFP Energy Policy Fellow Faith Burns:
- “Thanks to Bidenomics, Americans have paid more to live their everyday lives for nearly four years and voters rejected more of the same in November. This expensive parting shot to cement his legacy will only serve to continue their financial pain, especially at the gas pump.
- Joe Biden’s doubling down on bad policy will have major impacts on American energy production and the availability of affordable, reliable energy for American families. Biden is putting American energy off-limits, permanently imposing his anti-energy, high price agenda that was roundly rejected in November.”
- Hochul signs NY law that will charge $75B to oil, gas and coal companies for climate change — but critics say customers will pick up tab! (NY Post 12/26/24)
Panelist:
Faith Burns is an Energy Policy Fellow for AFP and has worked on energy and environmental policy as legal counsel for the U.S. Senate and on policy at the state and federal level.
11:10 AM ET
Segment Topic:
- A Post-‘Defund the Police’ World Made New Orleans a Soft Target!
- While law enforcement looks for possible connections to international groups, there is a domestic factor closer to home that may also be a contributing factor: the post-George Floyd, “Defund the Police” movement which has stripped cities of much-needed on-duty police officers.
- More than four years after the “defund the police” movement took hold, New Orleans has been suffering from a police shortage crisis.
- In 2023, the New Orleans police force was operatingjust above 50% capacity — at just 900 officers on a force that once had 1,600 officers.
- In fact, the city of New Orleans became so concerned about the shortage of police officers that in the last two years it has recruited civilians to serve as officers to respond to things such as non-injury car accidents.
- Funded by the French Quarter Economic Development District, the Supplemental Police Patrol Program (“SPPP”) proactively patrols the French Quarter streets to help the New Orleans Police Department deter crime. It uses a mobile application that allows businesses, residents, visitors, and employees to easily report crimes in progress. The SPPP patrols 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The initiative has been credited by the N.O.P.D. as having a positive impact on violent crime, including the removal of guns, drugs, and criminals from the French Quarter.
- Policing watchdogs are raising caution flags, however. Previous actions by state troopers in the French Quarter, working alongside New Orleans officers who operate under different rules set by a federal consent decree, sparked allegations of excessive force and racial profiling, lawsuits and concerns over transparency. (French Quarter Management District)
- Jeff Landry announces he wants permanent state trooper presence in New Orleans in January 2024!
- Troop (NOLA) returns to the French Quarter in February 2024!
- Did the Republicans learn anything from the Mike Johnson debacle?
- Did those who refused to vote for him lose the support of President Trump?
- How much damage has Kathy Hochul done to the future of the Democratic machine in New York with this Congestion Pricing scheme?
- Are Republicans poised to take back control of Albany and NYC?
