    Michael Castella: The Legal System Is Being Weaponized Against Trump Supporters | 05-17-26
    May 18 2026
    Jake Novak interviews Michael Castella to highlight what they describe as the weaponization of the legal system against supporters of Donald Trump. Castella, a former fund manager convicted of securities fraud, argues that his prosecution was a politically motivated "Ponzi-like" characterization of a legitimate business that never received a single customer complaint. The conversation centers on the idea of a persistent "swamp" within the Justice Department that continues to target conservatives through biased New York juries and aggressive asset forfeiture.

    Jake Novak: Ivy League Colleges “Game the System” | 05-17-26
    May 18 2026
    Fernando Mateo and Jake Novak critique Ivy League universities for amassing massive endowments while failing to improve the struggling public education systems in their surrounding communities. They argue that these elite institutions operate as tax-exempt entities and major landowners, yet they "game the system" by prioritizing status and endowment growth over genuine social responsibility. The speakers propose that government officials should threaten their tax privileges unless these schools direct a portion of their wealth toward building and managing high-quality private or charter schools in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
