    Gray Matters: Suncor, Energy Policy, and the Future of Federalism (Notice & Comment May 2026 Conference Keynote Panel)

    In the keynote panel from the Gray Center's May conference, moderator Adam White (Gray Center, AEI) speaks with Michael Williams (West Virginia Solicitor General) and Matt Leopold (Holland & Knight and former EPA General Counsel) about federal energy and environmental regulation, focusing on the Supreme Court’s pending Suncor v. City of Boulder case and broader post-Chevron litigation dynamics. The case concerns whether state tort law can be used to impose liability for climate change damages and effectively regulate interstate emissions, raising preemption and territorial-jurisdiction concerns. The discussion covers potential federal common law and Clean Air Act preemption, limits on extraterritorial regulation, and skepticism of Dormant Commerce Clause arguments. They connect these issues to the EPA’s current deregulatory efforts, the end of Chevron deference after Loper Bright, and questions about Mass. v. EPA. Show notes:  YouTube version 2024 Gray Center webinar on Federal Preemption and Environmental Regulation 2024 Gray Matters Episode about the Role of State Tort Law in the World of Climate Lawsuits and Federalism

    Daily Signal: Victor Davis Hanson: The Problem with America’s Military Arsenal

    As adversaries use cheap drones to drain America's expensive missile stockpiles, the United States faces a growing challenge in modern warfare. With weapons costing millions of dollars being used to destroy drones worth only a few thousand, the imbalance raises serious questions about America's military readiness. Drawing lessons from World War II, the answer may lie in a renewed focus on mass production, affordable weapons, and the ability to outproduce America's adversaries as global threats continue to grow.

    Beyond the Polls with Henry Olsen: Way On Base

    The midterms are just weeks away, and Democrats are still enjoying a historically large lead in the generic congressional ballot. In response, the president is jetting about to rally support in key states. However, unlike the boldly expansive campaigns of MAGA ascendancy, his visits to safe districts reveal a defensive strategy aimed at mitigating losses. Henry rants his way through this development and draws attention to others that casual observers might miss, as he comes closer to finalizing his big election prediction. Plus, we look at two ads that bet it all on Independents. Stay tuned till the end for Henry's thoughts on late pitches for these ambitious campaigns to flip a Minnesota Senate seat and Montana's 1st Congressional District. Follow the midterms like a pro!

    The Erick Erickson Show: S15 EP186: Hour 1 - The Debanking Happened

    Breaking news out of the gate: President Trump cancels the livestream of Nidal Hasan's execution, and Erick explains why turning an execution into content and memes would have been a mistake. Then the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency releases a sweeping report finding that all nine of the largest U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, used vague reputational risk policies to debank conservatives, gun sellers, oil companies and some progressive groups. Plus Jake Tapper and CNN take the Ilhan Omar search warrant seriously, and Abdul El-Sayed gets combative with NBC over his family's Muslim Brotherhood ties.

    The Erick Erickson Show: S15 EP186: Hour 2 - Inflation Roars Back

    It is Open Line Friday on the Erick Erickson Show, and the hour opens with a trucker named Lewis explaining diesel surcharges before CNN's Matt Egan delivers a sizzling Producer Price Index report: 1.3% monthly and 6.3% annual wholesale inflation, with the Iran war, Saudi and Houthi strikes on refineries, and Ukraine all in the mix. Erick breaks down why he still expects Republicans to hold the Senate, weighs in on James Talarico's CNN town hall with undecided Catholic voters, and reacts to the new federal lawsuit against Matt Gaetz. He then makes the case, through the late pastor Tim Keller, that politics has become an idol on both the left and the right.

    The Erick Erickson Show: S15 EP186: Hour 3 - Why America’s Military Is Stretched Thin

    Erick takes a caller's question about why the U.S. military can no longer fight two wars at once and walks through the Pentagon procurement mess, the Navy's saltwater maintenance problem, cheap drones versus exquisite weapons, and the Trump administration's fortress Western Hemisphere thinking. He defends Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky against Russia and Vladimir Putin after the Starlink shutdown and Elon Musk's call for Zelensky to go, then holds up El Salvador and Nayib Bukele as proof that locking up repeat offenders works. Plus Georgia ballot advice, Angie Nixon and Chris Rabb wanting to lock up Republicans, and Abdul El-Sayed's Muslim Brotherhood ties in the Michigan Senate race against Mike Rogers.

    Giving Ventures: Ep. 119 - Implementing School Choice

    Conservative and libertarian donors have made phenomenal gains in the area of education choice over the past 10 years. The question now becomes: how do we defend those gains? There are some phenomenal groups out there that are focused on implementation, particularly with regard to the three big pillars we've identified: 1) the supply of schools; 2) making sure parents know how to opt in their kids; and 3) defending against the onslaught of legal and public relations attention from people who are not keen on school choice. At a recent event that DonorsTrust hosted in Dallas, we held a conversation on education choice implementation to highlight what's going on. How are we expanding supply? How do we get parents to understand the process here and what are we going to do to defend against the lawsuits and the negative press when it comes? Our panelists were Nathan Cunneen, the State Director for American Federation for Children, American Federation for Children; Lisa Tarshis, Primer Foundation's executive director; and Tom Fisher, who is EdChoice's executive vice president and director of litigation.

    Parsing Immigration Policy: Immigration’s Effects on Black American Economic Opportunity

    How has immigration policy affected Black workers over the past 200 years? Roy Beck, founder of NumbersUSA, joins the Center for Immigration Studies’ Parsing Immigration Policy podcast to discuss the expanded second edition of his book, Back of the Hiring Line: A 200-Year History of Immigration Surges, Employer Bias and Depression of Black Wealth. The revised edition builds on Beck’s 2021 book, expanding its examination of how immigration-driven labor competition has affected wages, working conditions, and economic opportunity for Black Americans. The new edition also reflects the response to the original book, including interest from Black Americans seeking a deeper understanding of immigration’s role in the history of American labor. Beck examines the views of Frederick Douglass and labor leader A. Philip Randolph on immigration and the interests of American workers. He discusses how their ideological commitments shaped their positions as immigration levels and labor-market conditions changed. The conversation also explores the historical role of employers’ demand for low-cost labor. Beck argues that a tight labor market offers one of the most practical ways to improve wages and working conditions for marginalized Americans, particularly Black workers without college degrees. He contends that mass immigration and employer preferences for foreign labor have placed disproportionate pressure on Black workers, contributing to persistent employment and income disparities. In his closing commentary, host Mark Krikorian discusses the search warrant executed by Homeland Security Investigations agents at Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home. He cautions against assuming the investigation focuses only on immigration fraud, noting that it could also involve financial crimes unrelated to immigration. He urges waiting for more information before drawing conclusions. Host Mark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies. Guest Roy Beck is the founder of NumbersUSA.

    We are joined by Luke Jacobus, one of AEI’s own, to highlight how China’s spies leverage the LinkedIn networking platform to recruit Americans to pass them sensitive knowledge.

    Daily Signal: Victor Davis Hanson: Who Is Really to Blame for Gaza’s Destruction?

    Three years after the October 7 massacre, Gaza lies in ruins. But who is really to blame? Hamas had every opportunity to build a prosperous Gaza following Israel's withdrawal in 2005. Instead, billions in international aid were diverted, hundreds of miles of tunnels were built, and Palestinian civilians were used as human shields. Despite repeated opportunities to release Israeli hostages and avoid further destruction, Hamas refused, launching thousands of rockets into Israel. Now, as accusations of genocide continue against Israel, the history of Gaza and the events surrounding October 7 tell a very different story.
