ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this comprehensive “Week in Review” for Saving America, we dive deep into the most pressing stories of Week 14, 2026. We start with the tragic death of Sheridan Gorman in Chicago, examining how sanctuary city policies and leadership in Illinois and Minnesota are interfering with federal law. We also take a hard look at the American justice system, highlighting shocking cases of recidivism in NYC and Seattle that expose a system favoring criminals over victims.
The episode also covers major class action lawsuits involving Meta, Google, and Kroger, including a landmark verdict on social media addiction and its impact on youth mental health. Plus, we discuss the economic reality of the Democrat Shutdown, the “tax and spend” policies driving the Blue State Exodus, and business updates from Jack in the Box and Home Depot. Finally, we pay tribute to the legendary Chuck Norris, expose the failed prophecies of Paul Ehrlich, and issue a health warning regarding the botanical herb Kratom.
Join us as we analyze these headlines through a lens of common sense and accountability.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? While botany says one thing, the U.S. Supreme Court says another. In this episode, we explore the landmark 1893 case Nix v. Hedden.

We dive into the Tariff Act of 1883, a protectionist law that taxed imported vegetables but left fruits tax-free. When importer John Nix sued tax collector Edward Hedden, it sparked a legal battle that went all the way to the highest court in the land. Learn why Justice Horace Gray ignored the dictionary in favor of the “dinner table” and established the Ordinary Meaning Rule—a legal principle still used today to interpret ambiguous laws based on common language rather than scientific technicalities.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this edition of Saving America, Dr. David Schein provides a hard-hitting Week in Review for the 11th week of 2026. We dive deep into the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, exploring how political gridlock over ICE and border security is leaving TSA and FEMA workers without pay while Spring Break travel descends into chaos.

Dr. Schein also provides a critical update on the Iran War, discussing the strategic dismantling of Iranian military assets by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the recent strike on Kharg Island. From the surge in gas prices and inflation to the “liquidity crisis” affecting major firms like Blackrock and JP Morgan, we examine the economic red flags signaling a potential recession.

Other topics include the collapse of the Cuban regime, a controversial 9th Circuit ruling on privacy, and the conviction of Antifa members in Texas. Stay tuned for a surprising Gen Z twist at the National Gallery of Art.
