Show 15-20 Summary: This week we’re talking about activist judges, nationwide injunctions, and what could be done. Plus, a look at what is happening here in Oregon in the legislature. The woke is winning which means Oregon will lose billions. Making Oregon’s business environment toxic will repel any chance of landing some of the trillions Trump is bringing back into the U.S. But hating Trump and going woke are the hill the Democrats will die on.

This Week – Injunctions on Trial. Oregon’s Self-Inflicted Wounds

We welcome back Hans von Spakovsky, the manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss judicial tyranny. Judges who are in clear violation of the Constitution by intruding into Executive Branch authority.

Fact: The only court established by the Constitution is the Supreme Court

There is no constitutional authority for district courts to reach outside their district. And yet they have been allowed to do so. Presidents do not have to obey these courts, so why have they? The Supreme Court on Thursday heard oral arguments on a case that could impact lower courts (there are 93 federal district courts) and a radical judge’s ability to issue a national injunction. This is a pivotal moment in U.S. history and whether unelected jurists have the power to anoint themselves as supreme leaders.

Then we welcome back former Senator Dennis Linthicum. He lost his seat when Republican senators walked out to deny quorum to stop the horrendous HB2002. The child mutilation bill. Now he’s swapped roles with his wife, who won his seat, and he’s her legislative aide. Does that new role give him new perspectives?

Oregon has a poisonous business environment thanks to taxes, fees, regulations, and other businesses fleeing the state. And this showed up in Oregon’s May revenue report. Democrats control everything at the state level—governor, super majorities in house and senate, all the state-level elected positions, and all the judges. But democrats are blaming Republicans. Really? And now democrats are raising taxes on everything.

Trump just brought back up to $10 trillions in new deals from his Middle East tour. With Oregon’s hatred of Trump and its own businesses, what’s the likelihood of any of those new trade dollars coming to Oregon. Tune in to hear Dennis’s surprising answer.

This Week – End of the Enviro Left’s Cash Cow?

This week on I Spy Radio, we’re peeling back layers of government overreach and fraud that’ll leave you ready to fight for what’s right. Especially since this victory could mean ending the far-left “environmentalists” billions of dollars of “free cash”—every year—courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers.

This path to victory all started years ago when we first teamed up with the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) in our very first year of being on the air. Way back in 2011 when we were just on one station. SLF is a fearless crew battling the EPA’s power grab. And one of their biggest targets has been the “endangerment finding”—the dodgy cornerstone of the modern “green” agenda.

The endangerment finding is an EPA rule based on pre-determined science that “found” carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gasses were a threat to public health. The rule was then used to mandate the transition to “green” energy. Windmills, solar, electric vehicles, charging stations, and the basis for net zero.

Over the years, its meant trillions for the far left. Your taxes have been funneled into clunky windmills, solar flops, and Far Left cash grabs (that conveniently boomerang back to Democrat politicians’ and activists’ coffers) all rest on this one flimsy rule. And it didn’t stop there—water rights gutted, timber harvests choked—all under the EPA’s ever-growing thumb.

Is the Endangerment Finding in Danger?

Yes! Now, Trump’s EPA is poised to torch this sacred cow of the Left. It’s a seismic shift, and SLF’s years of courtroom trench warfare might finally pay off.

We bring back Kimberly Hermann—SLF’s sharp legal mind and their executive director. Thanks to the Competitive Enterprise Institute prying loose the emails we now know what we suspected that very first show with SLF. That Obama’s EPA pre-determined the “science” for the endangerment finding.

This week, she’s got the latest on Trump’s executive orders, the endangerment finding’s shaky future, and the epic court battles looming as the Left scrambles to save its gravy train. Spoiler: activist judges won’t go down quietly.

Resistance Judges and that Autopen Controversy

Then, meet first-time guest, Hans von Spakovsky. He is a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation. With rogue judges gunning for Trump, Hans takes us inside the courtrooms of these activist federal judges and tells us what’s really happening. It’s even wilder than you think.

And that’s not all. Heritage’s Oversight Project just caught Biden’s White House crew using an autopen to slap Joe’s signature on official, legal documents. Pardons included. Legal fallout? We’re in uncharted waters, and Hans is here to navigate it.

Oh, and after two weeks of dissecting “clone voters” on I Spy Radio, we had to ask: has Hans, who runs Heritage’s Election Law Reform Initiative, heard of this? Turns out, clone voters are just the warm-up—Heritage has unearthed election fraud that’ll make your jaw drop.

Tune in this week. It’s a rollercoaster of truth you won’t want to miss—and yeah, Hans will be back. Count on it.
