On this week’s show, Jay and Ben talk about President Trump’s emergency declaration and what that means for the future with respect to Democrats, the Republican Party and the conservative movement. They also discuss the Jussie Smollett issue and how the media screwed the pooch–again…and a fascinating discussion ensues about bath sheets and towels. Plus, the news with Andrea Ruth.

“We’re back, baby! We’re back!” No, it’s not George Costanza, but The Fifth Estate podcast is back after nearly a year away. Ben Howe is the new co-host and he joins Jay and the news gal, Andrea Ruth, in a familiar, but new venture. The podcast will take on a new format as a result, focusing more on conversation than interviewing guests. Current events will get covered and that’s where the gang is on this episode as they discuss Erick Erickson going from NeverTrump to a full-blown Trump backer, AOC and her Green New Deal flub as well as the 2020 Democrats vying for the presidential nomination. Andrea brings the news toward the end.

How old does one have to be, to be considered an adult? Officially, in the United States, that age is 18. But the government has exceptions to that rule and it makes zero sense. In some cases and in some states, you’re considered an adult at 18. In others, 21. In some states, two types of the same activity, such as gambling, have two different minimum ages depending upon the type of gambling one engages in. It’s all so absurd and it does nothing but create confusion for people who believe they are adults. Jay takes 15 minutes to raise questions about it and hopefully make people think about the issue.

Another day. Another mass shooting. While violent crime sits at near all-time lows, several of the worst mass shootings in our nation’s history have happened in the last several years. The recent mass shooting in Parkland, Florida served to take the conversation to a new level where hopefully, conservatives and liberals can agree on some gun control reforms. Unfortunately, it won’t be easy. People still want “assault weapons bans” that do not work and “universal background checks” that do not serve a useful purpose. So what to do? National Review writer, attorney and Iraq War veteran David French joins Jay and Amy to talk about some of those solutions that could help and get conservative support.

How did Trump do in his first year? How did he do on judges? Taxes? Foreign policy? In his role as President and leader of The United States. Amy and Jay break that all day with National Review Senior Editor, Jay Nordlinger. They went into a long discussion not only of Trump but how the institutions of the United States are keeping everything moving along. They grappled with news coverage and what people read to keep themselves grounded on all the issues. It was a great conversation.
