Legal expert Hans von Spakovsky joins Mark, Kim, and Ethan to unpack the legal legitimacy behind the U.S. capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Drawing direct parallels to the 1989 Noriega precedent, Hans explains why Trump’s move was fully constitutional and backed by decades of case law, even with a Clinton-appointed judge now overseeing the trial. The team raises sharp questions about jurisdiction, Mexico’s cartel problem, and the reemergence of Trump’s “Monroe Doctrine.” Hans also previews key upcoming Supreme Court cases on tariffs and transgender participation in women’s sports, calling 2026 a potential legal roller coaster year.
