Ok. Sounds accurate. Good solution. Now, what would be your analysis of the failure of the Democrats to stop the Genocide of the Palestinians and to accept such high levels of obvious corruption? This is a serious question.

China is not 'forcing' Uyghurs to make solar panels. That is complete nonsense based on Right-Wing initiated propaganda. While Uyghurs are discriminated against by the majority Han Chinese population, claims of Chinese mass incarceration and enslavement of Uyghurs are simply false, made up by right wing religious conservatives working in tandem with US National Security State manipulators. (See link below.) Wallach needs to stop making assumptions based on US State Department propaganda and do actual homework on the situation in China. Start here:

US State Department accusation of China Uyghur ‘genocide’ relied on data abuse and baseless claims by far-right ideologue Adrian Zenz

Ralph, all, it is totally unacceptable that you continue to allow Bruce Fein to spout complete nonsense. Worse still, you eat up that nonsense yourselves like candy based on egregious confirmation bias in yourselves. Example: The claim that Trump's Supreme Court somehow struck down Birth Right Citizenship is complete buIIshit.

The Supreme Court struck down universal immediate precedent from regional courts over the question of Birth Right Citizenship (a perfectly legal and constitutional decision) and while doing so even hinted that ending Birth Right Citizenship is clearly unconstitutional. The Court striking down of regional decisions setting immediate precedent for all jurisdictions in the country is 100% legal and constitutional.

Bruce Fein is simply making up hyperbolic bogeyman fairy stories and falsely implying Presidential and Court vulnerability to impeachment which doesn't exist in reality. These fairytales are driven by such obviously false wishful thinking, and are so patently clownish, that they undermine our ability to hold Trump and the Court accountable when they really *do* act badly and unconstitutionally, which has indeed happened a lot (most prominently in the arming and funding of Israel).

I think it would be embarrassing to serve on the trump supreme court these days. Just think you put on that robe and walk out and sit down behind that historic desk and realize your leader will be calling soon to give you your instructions for the day. Even your friendly Washington lobbiest and once law school pals are not giving you advice or phone calls on subjects that need immediate attention regarding projects they are working on.

It's a lonely business being a supreme court justice these days,,, even if your goal is to help the down trodden, black, white, Hispanic, Latino, and perhaps a few immigrants or Jews that have been or are all about to be tossed on to the wood pile of injustice

In the old days you could find one of those fresh young smart, phi bata kapa Ive Leaguers just out of law school as clerks to tackle and handle various projects. But the smart ones know they don't want their futures to be compromised by a judgeship that caved into the wims of a moronic dictator. Or do they?

Will the dooly selected and elected members of our supreme court of the United States of America get their act together?

History will tell us soon who among them looked into the mirror and saw the laws of truth and justice. And I hope that will make all difference.

Good luck America have a great day my friends.

Analysts who spoke to ABC News credited the tariffs for delivering higher-than-expected tax revenue and helping to elicit some commitments from companies bent on investing in new production in the U.S. Is ABC News afraid of President Trump or do they mean it. I don't know.

It's a great idea that would never happen until everyone who profits from their being there is gone. I'm sure that won't be in my lifetime. Possibly it would in theirs??

On the January 6 commentary.. Yet more hyperbolic nonsense, this time from Ralph himself. There was no so called 'insurrection' on January 6. It simply did not happen (see Glenn Greenwald link below). That incident lasted for 6 hours, NO ONE inside the capitol was armed, and the only people seriously harmed were protestors. Contrarily in 2012, left wing protestors took over the Wisconsin capitol building in Madison for TWO WEEKS and no one called that an 'insurrection'. Here is a comprehensive assessment from Glenn Greenwald which shows that the claim of a so called January 6 'insurrection' is utterly ridiculous on its face.

A long time admirer and supporter of Nader, McGovern, and peace makers, the support of of this channel for offshore wind generators is an invalid stance to fossil fuel elimination. Detrimental to ecosystems and primary production regions on the continental shelf and subsequent threat to cultures of creatures that absorb Co2 , sequester carbon, and produce oxygen , all at a huge level of proportion of global capacity , degrading the very notion of the purpose of renewables. I suggest getting the facts before supporting the boondoggle, political virtue posing, threat to the nature of our coastal regions. Also the detriment to the culture of mammals and creatures in the zone proposed for this boondoggle of political virtue signaling. This from a multiple decades working the west coast and pacific. Educated in oceanography, and supporting food security.

The laws are no good anymore, legalized bribery and corruption of Congress, i.e. AIPAC and others with bipartisan monetary influence has undermined the integrity of the law. Additionally the legal system is arrogant, incestuous, inaccessible, and overpopulated to the detriment of the possibility of justice .

I happened to watch Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove last night, with Peter Sellars and others, and the comparison of Strangelove and Musk is close, remarkably close. His uncontroled Nazi salute especially and the AI Grok tantrum into fascism. Interesting, no?

Ralph and Team:

I am about to listen to the RNRH now. Before I do I want to thank you. I am SO glad you created a program on the Supreme Court, which has become one of my greatest concerns. (I noticed your superb video editing of the photo).

To keep things brief, I am flummoxed as to why the raising of revenue is even being discussed in reference to tariffs. Not only was it discussed in the segment with Lori Wallach, but it led off the segment. The US federal government is a currency-issuing entity. Tax/tariff receipts are not of relevance in any direct sense, certainly not in the context implied in the discussed here.
