    Episode 118 | The SHOCKING Truth Behind Trump's Legal Warfare
    Apr 21 2025
    In the latest episode of It’s Complicated, hosts Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, and Yale National Security Law professor Asha Rangappa dive into the alarming power struggles between the judiciary and the executive branch under Donald Trump. Before diving in, make sure to subscribe to our Patreon for exclusive access to deeper insights and behind-the-scenes content: patreon.com/reallyamericanmedia. Renato kicks things off by exposing the chaos surrounding the Department of Homeland Security’s deportation tactics. He also lays out how the Trump administration manipulated legal loopholes, sending Abrego Garcia to a maximum-security prison and seemingly defying judicial orders, creating a dangerous precedent that could undermine due process and constitutional protections. Despite rulings demanding García’s return, the Trump administration’s refusal to comply highlights a disturbing trend of ignoring judicial authority. Asha takes it further, breaking down the Supreme Court’s role in this mess. By previously lifting temporary restraining orders, the Court made it harder to uphold justice, opening the door to wrongful deportations. Even U.S. citizens could face exile without due process—a chilling precedent that threatens everyone’s constitutional rights. We’ll also take a look at how Trump’s “Project 2025” is quickly becoming a harsh reality—a calculated scheme to sidestep the constitution and the judiciary, raising serious questions about what counts as domestic versus foreign policy under executive privilege. Renato and Asha spotlight the judiciary’s response, including Judge Wilkinson’s plea for the Trump administration to respect the rule of law. His ruling warns of the consequences of executive defiance, but with Trump’s team doubling down, the legal system hangs by a thread. This episode is a stark reminder of the dangerous precedents being set and the checks and balances that are under attack. The hosts urge listeners to stay vigilant and informed. They also plead with Congress to step up and reconsider the powers it’s handed to the executive branch—before it’s too late.

  • Episode 117 | Supreme Court's Shocking Ruling: Trump's Power to Deport Anyone EXPOSED!

    Episode 117 | Supreme Court's Shocking Ruling: Trump's Power to Deport Anyone EXPOSED!
    Apr 14 2025
    In today's all-new episode, our hosts Renato Mariotti and Asha Rangappa discuss the disturbing implications of the Supreme Court ruling that appears to give Trump sweeping powers to deport anyone from the country with limited judicial oversight. Before diving in, make sure to subscribe to our Patreon for exclusive access to deeper insights and behind-the-scenes content: patreon.com/reallyamericanmedia. Renato Mariotti, former federal prosecutor and legal analyst, breaks down the procedural chaos. The Trump administration's attempts to deport individuals to El Salvador were originally blocked by temporary restraining orders (TROs). These TROs aimed to halt deportations while courts considered the legality of the Department of Homeland Security’s actions. Asha Rangappa, Yale National Security law professor, explains how the Supreme Court later vacated these TROs, making it harder to pursue justice. This ruling could lead to more wrongful, unchecked deportations, like in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—who was deported to El Salvador despite a court order. The hosts also discuss the Supreme Court’s increasing reliance on the shadow docket—emergency decisions made without full deliberation—raising concerns about transparency and fairness. Ultimately, our hosts emphasize the far-reaching impact these legal developments will have on the American justice system, setting a dangerous precedent whereby potentially even U.S. citizens might be whisked away to a foreign prison without legal recourse. Be sure to catch the full episode today, as Asha and Renato unravel the complexities of this pivotal moment in time. And we’ll see you next time, right here on It’s Complicated.

  • Episode 116 | EXPOSED: Trump’s Tariffs Spark Stock Market MELTDOWN

    Episode 116 | EXPOSED: Trump’s Tariffs Spark Stock Market MELTDOWN
    Apr 7 2025
    In today's all-new episode, our hosts Renato Mariotti and Asha Rangappa discuss the legality of Donald Trump's global tariffs, and the seismic fallout for Americans as the tariffs roil the stock markets and people's 401Ks. Make sure to subscribe to our Patreon: patreon.com/reallyamericanmedia. The episode highlights a crucial but often overlooked point: the power to regulate commerce and impose tariffs rests with Congress. Our hosts explain that this authority has been extended to the President occasionally, they stress how the boundaries of such must be recognized. We’ll break down the limitations of the President’s authority to impose tariffs, especially when viewed through the lens of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act. In the courts, Trump's tariffs are being challenged by the right-wing National Civil Liberties Alliance. The lawsuit raises critical questions about executive orders and the delegation of congressional powers. Asha and Renato explore these legal intricacies, diving into what this means for the balance of power between Congress and the Executive. We walk through the chaos that tariffs have wreaked on the U.S. economy, including the alarming drops in the S&P 500. They question the declared "national emergency" that the tariffs aim to address, pointing out how far removed these actions seem from reality. Renato explores judicial scrutiny and discusses whether courts will back the President's bogus claim of a national emergency. He also examines the potential implications for US justice if these tariffs remain unchecked. Our hosts urge Congress to reassess and retract its delegations that grant Trump such expansive powers. And we remind listeners of what’s at stake, with a dire warning against complacency. Be sure to tune in next time to It’s Complicated, where we tackle the issues that can’t be boiled down into simple soundbites. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
