presidential power court-martial impeachment Supreme Court Trump-era corruption constitutional crisis undocumented immigrants presidential immunity
Powered by your toughest questions, Tristan dives into a whirlwind of legal and constitutional chaos: Can a sitting president be court-martialed for crimes committed in office? (Spoiler: No, but the constitutional crisis scenarios get wild.) Is defying a Supreme Court order impeachable? Absolutelyand Tristan explains why Congresss refusal to act is a historic failure. Listeners ask about the slow grind of justice for Trump-era corruption, the legal exposure of law firms and universities targeted for political retribution, and why staffers who do the criming might want to lawyer up. Tristan breaks down the myth that undocumented immigrants arent protected by the Constitution, using both legal logic and a baguette-wielding tourist for good measure. Plus: Can Americans sue the Supreme Court for its presidential immunity ruling? (Dont get your hopes up.) And, finally, will embattled officials like Pete Hegseth ever step downor will dysfunction reign?

Beyond Harvards $53 billion endowment and legal position, Tristan explores the broader implications for research universities nationwide and whats at stake for American scientific advancement if federal funding to these institutions is threatened.

In this episode, Tristan begins with a deep dive into the expanding Signalgate scandal, revealing that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had a second Signal chat group sharing sensitive military information about Yemen airstrikes with inappropriate recipients, including his wife, brother, and personal lawyer. The scandal has triggered an investigation by the DOD Inspector General and led to a staff purge at the Pentagon. Tristan also examines the ongoing immigration crisis, discussing the Supreme Courts 7-2 decision to freeze deportations to El Salvador and highlighting shocking cases of due process violations, including a US citizen detained by ICE despite presenting his birth certificate. Additionally, he warns about the Trump administrations plans to gut FDA food safety inspections, explaining the historical importance of these regulations in preventing foodborne illness outbreaks and protecting public health.

Trump immigration mass detentions due process outsourcing detainees rule of law Supreme Court authoritarianism political podcasts lifestyle content coalition building
Tristan breaks down how Trump’s latest immigration moves are straight-up medieval—think mass detentions, zero due process, and even outsourcing detainees to El Salvador’s infamous mega-prison. It’s not just a policy debate; it’s a full-on challenge to the rule of law, and the Supreme Court is getting dragged into the mess. Tristan is joined by David Pakman—YouTube OG, host, and author of the bestseller The Echo Machine—for a no-BS conversation about the rise of authoritarian vibes, why loyalty is replacing competence in government, and how the left can actually win by ditching purity tests and building a real coalition. They get into why most people aren’t glued to political podcasts, how the right is dominating lifestyle content, and what it’ll take to reach new audiences (hint: it’s not just more political hot takes).
