Jason Willick: 我认为媒体对宪法危机的恐慌有些夸大。特朗普政府的行动确实引发了一些争议,尤其是在一些法院案件中,例如围绕Doge的案件。但这些争议并不一定意味着美国正处于宪法危机之中。我们需要区分哪些事情重要,哪些不重要。我不认为特朗普政府故意无视法院命令,尽管双方对法院命令的具体范围存在一些争议。关于出生公民权问题,特朗普的法律立场可能比人们想象的更强,尽管他最终可能会输掉这场官司。在乌克兰问题上,我倾向于认为谈判是不可避免的,因为让乌克兰完全驱逐俄罗斯需要美国和北约的直接军事介入,而这在目前是不现实的。欧洲需要为自身安全承担更多责任,而特朗普的强硬方式可能会带来不稳定性。 Henry Olsen: 特朗普的民调支持率近期出现了一些下滑,但这并不一定意味着他的政治前景黯淡。他的支持者希望看到成功的领导力,而他采取的强硬措施虽然可能引发争议,但目前似乎并未对其支持率造成重大负面影响。在财政问题上,削减一万亿美元的开支并非易事,国会拨款的资金难以轻易被总统削减。关税并非绝对的自由市场原则违背,而是一种政府干预手段,可以作为一种策略工具。欧洲需要承担更多自身防卫责任,并认识到不能仅仅与他们喜欢的美国政治派别结盟。他们需要为自身安全承担更多责任,并认识到不能仅仅与他们喜欢的美国政治派别结盟。

Shownotes Transcript

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Washington Post columnist Jason Willick joins us to break down the media’s latest constitutional crisis panic, the legal battles surrounding Trump’s executive actions, and the escalating judicial fights over executive power. We also dive into the ongoing war in Ukraine, the shifting European response, and whether Trump’s push for negotiations will gain traction. Later, Henry Olsen of the Ethics and Public Policy Center analyzes Trump’s latest polling shifts, the economic challenges he faces, whether DOGE can realistically cut $1 trillion in administrative action, and the growing pressure on Europe to take responsibility for its own defense. Plus, it's the debut of the Kiley Corner jingle! Tune in for the jingle and Kiley’s breakdown of two chilling true crime cases: an Indiana high school student who tipped off the FBI about a would-be school shooter and a tragic murder-suicide in Wyoming where a mother took the lives of her four daughters.
