 It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma host economist Nathan Tankus, proprietor of the Notes on the Crises newsletter, to discuss the debt ceiling negotiations. Then, they're joined by Jessica Valenti, author of the Abortion, Every Day newsletter on SubStack, to discuss the recent anti-aborton laws being passed in state legislatures across the country. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the GOP's increasing demands for cuts (and spending), student loan forgiveness, a collab between Tiny D and Tiny E, fascist legislation in South Carolina, Florida, and Montana, and Target's response to homophobic violence at their stores, plus, John Roberts addresses concerns about internal Supreme Court ethics problems by assuring us it'll be addressed internally. Nathan Tankus then joins, diving right into the complete incompetence within Democratic leadership that led up to this debt ceiling debacle, including the “lessons” Biden is taking from last decade's debt ceiling debacle, and why they refused to make a plan B in case the obstructionist GOP obstructed. Next, he, Sam, and Emma tackle the balance between maliciousness and incompetence within both parties, before parsing through the unilateral actions Biden COULD take (including the platinum coin), and why Democrats love to manufacture their own failures. Jessica Valenti then shifts the conversation to the Republican attack on reproductive health, tackling the massive problems presented by the GOP's “exceptions,” why, despite the discourse, they have little to no practical effect on actually getting vulnerable people abortions, and why taking them seriously only puts more lives in danger. After parsing through the particulars of Republican states' legislative strategy, they look to the likelihood of a National Ban, and greater tactics of chipping away at reproductive freedom for all Americans. Wrapping up, they explore the relationship between attacks on reproductive healthcare and transgender healthcare, and reflect on two decades of failing Democratic messaging. And in the Fun Half: Benny Jonhson gets schooled on Twitter spaces, Rep. Crane from Arizona makes a fool of himself in Congress, and Target concedes to violent homophobes, taking LGBTQ merch out of stores. Emma and Sam tackle Lauren Boebert's recent anecdote in the wake of her divorce, and discuss alternative debt ceiling tactics, plus, your IMs!

A national ban on abortion remains so unpopular that even Republican presidential candidates won't commit to one. However, a law from the 1870s, depending on how it's interpreted and enforced, could ban both abortion pills and the procedure across America.  Guest: Mary Ziegler, law professor at UC Davis and author of Roe: The History of a National Obsession.

The Supreme Court has long had incredible authority to make decisions that affect millions of Americans. But in recent years, it has increasingly used its power to make stealth emergency decisions without public hearings or explanations. The cases that we often hear about on the high court's so-called merits docket only represent about one percent of what the court decides. Since the mid-2010s, 99 percent of SCOTUS rulings, including ones increasingly related to consequential issues like abortion, immigration and COVID restrictions, have taken place on what some legal scholars have taken to calling “the shadow docket.” What does this obscure procedure mean for each of us? Steve Vladeck is the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at The University of Texas School of Law. He's also author of a new book, “The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic.” He joins WITHpod to discuss how we got to this moment, what the shadow docket means for the rule of law and strategies for ameliorating inconsistencies in the court's process.

To put all the weight of our humanness on consciousness is an erroneous idea that will have disastrous consequences

President Biden is taking credit for a Trump administration accomplishment. The U.S. has found a few billion more to send to Ukraine.

When the Supreme Court's decision undoing Roe v. Wade came down in June, anti-abortion groups were jubilant – but far from satisfied. Many in the movement have a new target: hormonal birth control. It seems contradictory; doesn't preventing unwanted pregnancies also prevent abortions? But anti-abortion groups don't see it that way. They claim that hormonal contraceptives like IUDs and the pill can actually cause abortions. One prominent group making this claim is Students for Life of America, whose president has said she wants contraceptives like IUDs and birth control pills to be illegal. The fast-growing group has built a social media campaign spreading the false idea that hormonal birth control is an abortifacient. Reveal's Amy Mostafa teams up with UC Berkeley journalism and law students to dig into the world of young anti-abortion influencers and how medical misinformation gains traction on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, with far-reaching consequences. Tens of millions of Americans use hormonal contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and regulate their health. And many have well-founded complaints about side effects, from nausea to depression – not to mention well-justified anger about how the medical establishment often pooh-poohs those concerns. Anti-abortion and religious activists have jumped into the fray, urging people to reject hormonal birth control as “toxic” and promoting non-hormonal “fertility awareness” methods – a movement they're trying to rebrand as “green sex.” Mother Jones Senior Editor Kiera Butler explains how secular wellness influencers such as Jolene Brighten, who sells a $300 birth control “hormone reset,” are having their messages adopted by anti-abortion influencers, many of them with deep ties to Catholic institutions. The end of Roe triggered a Missouri law that immediately banned almost all abortions. Many were shocked when a major health care provider in the state announced it would also no longer offer emergency contraception pills – Plan B – because of a false belief that it could cause an abortion. While the health system soon reversed its policy, it wasn't the first time Missouri policymakers have been roiled by the myth that emergency contraception can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting and cause an abortion. Reveal senior reporter and producer Katharine Mieszkowski tracks how lawmakers in the state have been confronting this misinformation campaign and looks to the future of how conservatives are aiming to use birth control as their new wedge issue.

* 1 Peter: Meet the Apostle Peter in this important Bible study. Have you considered why Peter addresses his letters to no well-known recipients? Rather, similarly to James, John, and Jude, he sends them generically to the circumcision believers scattered abroad. Why? Meanwhile, Peter mentions the Apostle Paul, who addresses his epistles to many well-known leaders and specific regional churches. Teacher Bob Enyart demonstrates that understanding the big picture of the Bible, its plot, helps to see even such small books as First Peter and Second Peter in their proper perspectives. Such biblical observations go a long way toward explaining the differences between Peter and Paul. For as Peter himself wrote of, "our beloved brother Paul" who "has written to you as also in all his epistles, in which are some things hard to understand." Available on Video or Audio.

Legislators in some GOP-led states are backing measures to make it harder to amend constitutions, amid a wave of attempts to use ballot initiatives to protect abortion rights. The Wall Street Journal looks at the issue. The Washington Post explains why the recycling symbol could end up in the trash bin. USA Today has a preview of the WNBA season opening, including Brittney Griner’s return after her detention in Russia.

Dr. Ingrid Skop is vice president and director of medical affairs for the Charlotte Lozier Institute. She is a board-certified OB-GYN who has delivered more than 5,000 babies over a long career in Texas.--Jim and Dr. Skop opened this edition of Crosstalk with discussion concerning this controversial pill, also known as Mifepristone. There are conflicting rulings in the lower courts, with the Supreme Court allowing the use of this pill to go on as this case works its way up through the court system.--Mifepristone blocks progesterone receptors and cuts off support of the embryo or fetus and kills it. --As this Crosstalk moved along, Jim also looked at some weekly news items. Here's a sample of what he presented- ----A federal judge rebuked the Department of Homeland Security for releasing 2,567 migrants on -parole- even after he had issued a temporary restraining order, and demanded that the department track what happens to those migrants as they disperse throughout the country.----Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has sent a bus of migrants to the sanctuary city of Denver, Colorado.----Congressman Michael Waltz of Florida has said that the Taliban were giving terrorists -visas and passports- after a suspect on the terrorist watch list was detained at the border.----At least 6 on the terror watch list were caught crossing what was formerly known as the southern border.----At least six more schools in New York are about to begin temporarily housing incoming migrants in their gyms.----Surveillance video from a property in Eagle Pass, Texas, shows a soldier opening a gate to allow a large group of aliens to cross the border into the country illegally.

The N.C. Senate's budget is approved, setting up negotiations with the House over tax cuts and how much state employees will get in their paychecks. But the budget debate was overshadowed by this week's veto override on new abortion restrictions. Sen. Kandie Smith, D-Pitt, joins WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Colin Campbell to sort through a busy week at the legislature. Smith also talks about her bill to add video streaming in the Senate and her bipartisan legislation to find alternatives to jail for people who fall behind on child support. And she shares some tips on barbecue in the Greenville area.

CAP Action's Bobby Kogan joins the podcast to discuss why we need to raise the debt limit; how Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) "Default on America" plan would hurt the middle class; and how Bush and Trump-era tax cuts contributed to the national debt. Daniella and Colin also talk about the end of Title 42 and extreme MAGA Republican abortion policies.

When a Democratic pro-choice representative defected from her party, North Carolina Republicans instantly secured a veto-proof supermajority in the state legislature. Then, they quickly sent a bill that restricts abortion to their Democratic governor's desk, and overrode his veto, ending North Carolina's time as an abortion destination in the southeastern United States.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and an ominous one. First, they're glad to to see President Biden move away from no discussion of reforms in exchange for an increase in the debt ceiling and agree to budget negotiations over the coming days. They also applaud Republicans in the North Carolina legislature for staying unanimous to override Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of a 12-week abortion ban. Finally, they react to news that China aloowed artificial intelligence to control a satellite and make decisions about what it would do. How fast is AI growing? Can we rein it in?

She allegedly burned the paper which students said included pages from the Koran. Bibi cannot read, and was just carrying out the school's instructions. Now, she could be sentenced to life in prison. Blasphemy charges are used to target vulnerable individuals. Azad Marshall with the Anglican Church of Pakistan told Morning Star News, “The allegation itself is nothing short of a death warrant, and we continue to pray for [Bibi's] safety.” Exodus 22:22-23 says, “You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me, I will surely hear their cry.” Thailand's political victory over military-backed government On Sunday, opposition parties in Thailand won a landslide victory against the country's military-backed government. The military has effectively ruled Thailand for decades. Most recently, the country's Prime Minister led a military coup in 2014, ousting the elected government.  Now, the opposition parties control about 60% of Thailand's parliamentary seats. They are calling for sweeping changes, but face an unelected Senate chosen by the military. In particular, the opposition is calling for an end to a law that prohibits insulting the monarchy, saying the military uses it to curtail free speech. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, & Disney oppose free speech  Alliance Defending Freedom released their second-annual Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index on Tuesday.  The report scored U.S. companies on their respect for free speech and religious freedom. The best score was 50% for Fidelity National Information Services. The rest of the companies scored 25% or below. Coming in at 5% or less, some of the worst companies included Alphabet, the parent company of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, and Disney.  California churches victorious in abortion ruling Last Friday, Alliance Defending Freedom announced that California has agreed to pay $1.4 million in attorneys' fees for its abortion coverage requirements. Four churches challenged the requirement to fund abortion in their healthcare plans. Two court rulings sided with the churches. Jeremiah Galus with ADF said, “For years, California officials, in collaboration with Planned Parenthood, have unconstitutionally targeted faith-based organizations. This is a significant victory for the churches.” Texas legislature: Public schools can have chaplains Last Tuesday, the Texas House of Representatives passed a bill allowing public schools to have chaplains. The bill already passed the state's Senate last month.  The legislation says, “A school district or an open-enrollment charter school may employ or accept as a volunteer a chaplain to provide support, services, and programs for students as assigned by the board of trustees of the district or the governing body of the school.” The bill now goes to the desk of Republican Governor Greg Abbott. The state is also considering legislation allowing prayer in school and requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every single classroom. Speaking of God's commandments, Deuteronomy 6 says, “You shall teach them diligently to your children. ... You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” When parents are united spiritually, teens follow suit Pew Research released information from recent years on how well parents pass on religious beliefs to their children.  When parents have unified religious beliefs, their children generally follow suit. Over 80% of Protestant, Catholic, or unaffiliated parents had teenagers who believed the same way. For children over 18, Pew reports similar results. Adults generally retained the faith of their parents when their parents had unified religious commitments. However, the transmission of religious beliefs was less predictable for those raised in religiously divided households. About 20% of adults were raised in such homes.  Christian obstetrician warns against Abortion Kill Pill Today, as I guest host for Kevin Swanson on Generations Radio, I interview Dr. Ingrid Skop, a pro-life obstetrician who discusses the dangers of the Abortion Kill Pill.  53% of mothers who abort today choose chemical abortion over surgical abortion. Not only does it kill the baby, but women experience four times the risk of complications as surgical abortion! SKOP: “The abortion industry tells them, ‘It's natural. It's safe and effective, safer than Tylenol. They can have an abortion in the ‘comfort of their own home.' Well, we discussed already how horrible the process is for these women. Their bathroom has now become the abortion clinic. But it's not comfortable and it's not safe and it's not all that effective. “One out of 20 women, their body cannot completely express all the dead pregnancy tissue. And so they continue to suffer until they find a doctor who is willing to perform the surgery that they need.” Listen to my 25-minute interview at Generations.org/radio. Alabama Christian couple celebrates quadruplets' birth And finally, a Christian couple from Alabama welcomed quadruplets into the world last month.  Michael and Hannah Carmack were hoping to give their daughter a sibling. In God's providence, they got the incredibly rare experience of having two sets of identical twins. Initially, the thought of quadruplets was daunting. But after meeting with their pastor, Michael and Hannah felt strong and united on what God had chosen for them.  Evelyn, Adeline, David, and Daniel were born at 27 weeks. They've needed special help with eating, so they're still at the hospital. But the newborns are doing well and expected to go home next month! Psalm 127:3 says, “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, May 17th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Democrats are divided over whether minors should be able to have abortions without telling their parents. Some see repealing parental notification and consent laws as a political liability, particularly as conservatives push “parents' rights” to win popular support in other areas. Host Carmen Paun talks with Megan Messerly about the division.

President Joe Biden is in Japan for the G7 summit but he's cutting his Asia trip short to settle the debt ceiling debate with lawmakers. The commonly used abortion pill, Mifepristone, could soon be removed from the U.S. market completely. And, Russian strikes on Kiyv damaged a U.S. Patriot missile defense system as the war in Ukraine intensifies.

The Biden Administration is working to redefine the term "unborn" and what rights are afforded those who haven't yet been born. The battle is important for children, and Dr. Kathy explains why defending the rights of the preborn actually gives confidence in identity for children. She also explains how parents and people working with kids can teach students how to talk about abortion, the right to life, and preborn children.

Last week the Students for Life team hosted an urgent nationwide webcast on the devastating effects of the Chemical Abortion Pill on the environment and how it is poisoning women and children. Kristan knew this audience would be willing to take action by contacting their state's Attorney General. You can do so by going to: Thisischemicalabortion.com/Action-Center

Abortion is the leading cause of death in both the United States and the world. In terms of death count, it's the worst human rights atrocity in history…and yet, we all live alongside people who support—or even celebrate—abortion. Should we be treating the abortion advocates in our communities like they are genocidal maniacs? And does the fact that we don't mean we don't really believe our own argument that abortion kills an innocent human being? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we talk about why pro-lifers don't burn cities and cancel the abortion supporters we know and love.

It's Tuesday, May 16th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 6-year-old boy only one in family to survive Texas mall massacre Only one member of the Cho Family — a 6-year-old boy -- survived the Texas mall massacre last week in Allen Texas, reports ABC News. William Cho lost his parents and 3-year-old brother that day.  The Cho family was part of the Prestonwood Christian School and community in Plano, Texas.   Pastor Jack Graham commented on the Christian community helping out. GRAHAM: “This wonderful, sweet family, three of the four now in Heaven, one child left behind needs the ministry and the care of Christian people. Our entire community needs this as well. The church is made for a time like this. Christians are made for moments like these so that we can show the love of Christ and to be there for people.” Thus far, the Go Fund Me campaign for little William Cho has raised almost $1.9 million.  Psalm 68:5-6 tells us, “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation.  God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity.” Non-mortgage debt on the rise Consumer non-mortgage debt is on the rise in the U.S. It's now at $4.64 trillion, up from $2.7 trillion ten years ago. That's an appreciable increase in debt per Gross Domestic Product as well. Overall household debt now exceeds $25.5 trillion, according to numbers just released by the New York Fed.  Debt in America is 360% of Gross Domestic Product The overall debt in America has grown from 160% of the Gross Domestic Product – the sum total value of all goods and services -- in 1980 to 360% of the GDP today. The federal deficit for this fiscal year has already topped $1.1 trillion, and estimates for the 2023 and 2024 deficits hover around $1.8 trillion.   The average deficits between 2013 and 2018 were about $600 billion.   The average deficit under the Clinton administration was 1.6% of the GDP.  The average deficit under the George W. Bush administration was 3.3% of the GDP.  The average deficit under the Barack Obama administration was 4.9%.  The average deficit under the Trump administration was 7.4%.  And now, the average deficit under the Biden administration is estimated at 7.9%. American optimism declining Pew Research finds that American optimism has taken a dive in the last two years. Now, a full 58% of Americans believe that life was better 50 years ago in 1973. Just two years ago, only 43% of Americans claimed that.  Democrats tend to be more optimistic. Deuteronomy 28:43-45 reminds us that “the alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.  Moreover, all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments.” Trump makes exceptions on abortion An eye-opening interview with Donald Trump conducted by the Messenger over the weekend pressed in on the former president's views on abortion.   THE MESSENGER: "Abortion is a big issue you talked about in 2022 when you said that Republicans didn't really have the right message. They didn't know how to talk about the issue properly. So what's the right way for a Republican to talk about abortion in the 2024 elections?" TRUMP: “Well, pretty much what I said in the CNN town hall. ... First of all, I'm a believer in the exceptions, right? And just as Ronald Reagan was a believer in the exceptions, but I'm a believer in the exceptions … the life of the mother, raping and incest.  … The other thing I really believe is that the radicals are people that would have a baby destroyed, killed at the end of the ninth month or even after birth.” Later in the conversation, this was said. THE MESSENGER: "DeSantis signed a six-week abortion restriction in Florida. Do you think he was right to do that?" TRUMP: “Well, he has to do what he has to do. If you look at what DeSantis did, a lot of people don't even know if he knew what he was doing. But he signed six weeks, and many people within the pro-life movement feel that that was too harsh.” THE MESSENGER: "What do you think? Is it too harsh for you?" TRUMP: “I'm looking at all alternatives. I'm looking at many alternatives. But I was able to get us to the table by terminating Roe v. Wade. That's the most important thing that's ever happened for the pro-life movement.” The U.S. church gender gap The church gender gap in America is bigger than you may have thought. A recently released Study of Faith and relationships looked at 19,000 Sunday church attendees and found that there are 42% more never-married single women than never-married men in the pews today. The gender gap between single, divorced churchgoers is 77 percent women to 23 percent men. Overall, women make up 62 percent of all Sunday church attendees.  Here's another important takeaway from the study.   Faithful marriages matter. While less than half of young adults in the U.S. grew up in continuously married homes, a full 87% of young men still attending church grew up in continuously married homes. Canadian government looking to punish Christian on-line content The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission will now be regulating online content, according to the newly adopted Online Streaming Act, reports the CBC. It will have the power to impose financial penalties on anybody who violates parts of the act, which includes respecting diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity. The Canadian Radio-Television Commission already regulates Christian broadcasters, requiring them to dedicate broadcast time to promoting other religions.  No more COVID passports for incoming vistors to America Beginning last Friday, Canadians and other multinationals may enter the U.S. without proof of COVID-19 vaccination. The Biden administration dropped the requirement, following a vote of the US House of Representative to that order in February.   Japan dropped their requirements for COVID vaccines or testing on April 29th. And China and Brazil still require testing before entering their respective nations.  SpaceX launched another 56 satellites And finally, Elon Musk's SpaceX launched another 56 satellites over the weekend taking the total to over 4,400.   His Starlink internet system now has an estimated 1.5 million subscribers. The Royal Caribbean cruise line has implemented the system. The dish will run you $599, and the monthly cost will be $90-$120.   If you're an RV'er, and on the move, the month's rate jacks up to $150. That gets you 30 gigs a day.

In a post Roe Vs. Wade society the question remains, “Now what?” How will christians in America continue fighting for every life made in the image of God? How can churches and christians have a womb to tomb pro-life ethic? Is it possible to break through political barriers and culture wars to love and serve those in need?I am thrilled to have this conversation with former NFL player Benjamin Watson. Along with being a former tight end, Benjamin is a writer, a speaker, and an activist. He is a college football studio analyst with the SEC Network, and he serves as VP of strategic relationships with the Human Coalition, one of the largest pro-life and pro-women organizations in the country. Along with his wife, Kirsten, he is the founder of The Watson 7 Foundation, a nonprofit focused on strengthening families. They currently reside in Georgia with their seven children.On today's episode Benjamin and I discuss his new book, The New Fight For Life. Abortions in America disproportionately affect African-American women with 76% of abortion-determined women saying they would prefer to parent if their circumstances were different. You'll hear practical ways churches and christians can serve women facing unplanned pregnancies, and the importance of churches providing post-abortion counseling and care. Friends, as we look through scriptures it's easy to see that God has called us to have a pro-life commitment to justice for His image bearers. I pray you lean in and listen and respond to how God moves your heart.
