Podcasts about amendments

Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins Marc Cox and pulls absolutely no punches. Planned Parenthood — the organization born out of the eugenics movement to eliminate lower-income and minority births — has just endorsed an actual Nazi for U.S. Senate in Maine, and a Missouri court just handed them another victory by stripping away basic safety requirements for abortion providers. Lamping breaks down exactly why Missouri has become the most abortion-friendly state in the country overnight — and why Amendment 3 in November is the reset button conservatives cannot afford to miss. Then he takes on the conservatives sabotaging Amendments 4 and 5 from within, explaining why their distrust of Jefferson City — however justified — cannot be allowed to hand this victory to the left. The Marc Cox Morning Show voter guide is coming, and John Lamping just gave you the clearest case yet for why yes on 4 and yes on 5 may be the most important votes you cast this year. Don't miss a word of it.

Hour 2 of the Marc Cox Morning Show is one of the most consequential hours of radio you'll hear all week. Marc Cox goes toe to toe with Tucker Carlson's Republican exit — calling his Israel obsession exactly what it is: anti-Semitism dressed up as principle. Planned Parenthood doubles down on evil with a Senate endorsement that Ari Fleischer calls genuinely dangerous, while a Missouri court strips away basic abortion safety requirements and hands radical leftists another win. Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins to make the definitive case for Amendments 3, 4, and 5 — and calls out conservatives sabotaging their own cause from within. The St. Louis Morning Brief covers a firefighter caught on camera doing the unthinkable at Lambert Airport, MLB's double standard on Christian expression, and Pride Fest curfew chaos in the Grove. And In Other News wraps it all up with a kidnapping gone deadly, a truth-telling anchor's emotional on-air exit, and an 85-year-old street racer. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — and Hour 2 delivered.

Four hours. Zero punches pulled. The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers one of its most explosive broadcasts of the year and not a single story lands without consequence. Tucker Carlson torches his 35-year Republican career over an Israel obsession Marc Cox calls exactly what it is — anti-Semitism dressed up as principle. The Iran MOU critics are screaming into YouGov polls while a real American hero, former hostage Rocky Sickman, reminds everyone what 444 days of torture at Iranian hands actually looks like. Missouri conservatives get a masterclass on why Amendment 4 and Amendment 5 are the most important votes they'll cast this year — as Soros-funded groups, Planned Parenthood, and the Missouri Realtors Association pour millions into lies designed to keep the Constitution wide open for radical hijacking. Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins to make the definitive case and call out conservatives sabotaging their own cause from within. The St. Louis Morning Brief covers a firefighter caught on camera doing the unthinkable at Lambert Airport, MLB's stunning double standard on Christian expression, and Pride Fest curfew chaos erupting in the Grove. Fox and Friends First co-anchor Todd Piro calls in live from a Fox News makeup room with the heartbreaking latest on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. It's 2A Tuesday with Mark Walters of Armed American Radio breaking down the Supreme Court's landmark nine to zero Hamani ruling, a Fifth Circuit victory for silencer owners, and the left's blueprint to destroy the Bruin precedent the moment they retake power. Kim St. Onge sounds the alarm on Brazilian parents jailed for homeschooling without DEI — and warns Christian families in America that they are already in the crosshairs. University of Minnesota law professor Ilan Wurman delivers a stunning constitutional autopsy — from New Deal power grabs to rogue district judges acting as an unchecked council of revision the Founders explicitly rejected. Ryan Wiggins brings the hard data showing Democrats hemorrhaging 275,000 voters in key swing districts, exposes the 2020 census miscounting that handed Democrats up to six stolen House seats, and dismantles the left's racist Electoral College argument for exactly what it is — pure desperation. And the show closes with three bombshells in rapid succession: $200 million laundered from USAID into Joe Biden's 2024 campaign, Fauci back in Rand Paul's crosshairs, and Chuck Schumer accidentally admitting 25 million people on Democrat voter rolls may not be legal citizens. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — and today was one for the history books.

Anna O. Law, the Herbert Kurz Chair in Constitutional Rights in the Department of Political Science at City University of New York-Brooklyn Campus, has a deeply researched and important new book that weaves together different approaches to understanding American citizenship, especially in context of immigration and migration in the first century of the U.S. republic. Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship: African Americans, Native Americans, and Immigrants (Oxford University Press, 2026) engages three different disciplines, including Political Science, History, and Legal Studies/Law, to unpack the many different approaches to citizenship in the new republic. Law noted as we spoke that she had not intended to write a book about slavery, but it was impossible to think about or understand immigration in the United States, especially in the first century of the United States, without examining the particular place and role of those who were enslaved, since they were also immigrants to the United States, though it was a forced immigration, against their will and without their consent. Part of what Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship focuses on is that prior to the Civil War and the post-war constitutional Amendments, immigration was a patchwork, designed state by state, without a national standard or structure. Thus, we see a form of federalism that shifts from the states to the national government after the 14th and 15th Amendments, and after a number of pieces of legislation passed in the 1880s by Congress. Immigration becomes a more centralized issue and process as Congress passed a raft of restrictive laws focused mostly on Chinese individuals. These moves took the power to manage immigration away from the individual states and nationalized policies and regulations. At the same time, the story of American immigration is incomplete without understanding how the national government forcefully took land belonging to Native Americans and compelled their migration to other areas of the United States. In much the same way that we cannot understand immigration without understanding how slavery was intertwined with it, we also can't understand immigration to the United States without the history of how newly arrived immigrants displaced Native Americans and were given stolen land through national and state level regulations and policies. This is another entire area of history, policy, law, and regulation that Law unpacks to explore the interaction between Native Americans, sovereignty, land claims, and federalism in context of American citizenship and the complexity of who was and was not considered to be a citizen. Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship is a masterful work that helps us understand the contemporary battles over citizenship. As the Supreme Court is set to make yet another determination of how the 14th Amendment is to be applied to individuals born in the United States, Law's research and analysis has particular relevance and importance as we grapple with these ongoing disputes.

Talk What You Know — Hard Talk EditionEpisode 30: “The New Great Compromise”Freedom Lost, Freedom Won?The Devil's Bargain Then. The Shadow Docket Now. Does History Rhyme?Hosted by Rev. Dr. Donald R. JonesWhen does a right stop being meaningful… even though it still exists?That is the central question in this episode of Talk What You Know — Hard Talk Edition.In 1877, Reconstruction ended when federal troops left the South. The Constitution still had the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, but the federal protection that helped make those rights real began to disappear.The rights remained on paper.But protection weakened in practice.Tonight, Rev. Dr. Donald R. Jones asks whether history is rhyming again — not through troops leaving the South, but through emergency court orders, voting-rights decisions, and the modern use of the Supreme Court's shadow docket.We examine:The Compromise of 1877 and the end of ReconstructionAmerica's first multiracial democracyMajor John Hammond Fordham and the personal cost of federal retreatJim Crow's rise through procedures, laws, and intimidationThe Civil Rights Movement and the Second ReconstructionThe Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the 1982 amendmentsShelby County, Brnovich, Callais, and modern voting-rights battlesHow the Supreme Court's emergency docket can change legal reality before full reviewThe Hard Talk question:

Glenn Beck joins Chicks on the Right to launch his groundbreaking Torch project an educational platform using catchy songs on the first 10 Amendments, family lesson plans, immersive audio history ("The American Story"), and more to teach kids and adults real American history and critical thinking. He breaks down the five freedoms in the First Amendment, why most adults can't name them, and how music + catechism-style questions beat rote memorization. Beck also shares updates on AP history courses with PragerU and audio adaptations like "Chasing Embers." The conversation turns serious as Beck warns about the "Woke Right," dangerous alliances between some conservatives and Islamists (Twelvers/Iran), Alexander Dugin's influence, and repeating mistakes from 1979 Iran and 1930s Germany. He stresses spiritual discernment, the Holy Spirit, and avoiding shortcuts with strongmen or antisemitism. Beck urges returning to basics: know the Declaration, live by first principles, teach your children, go to church, reject tribalism, and stay close to God amid coming trials. A powerful call to educate, think critically, and stand on eternal truths.  Subscribe to Torch for songs dropping weekly this summer + commercial-free history.

The Supreme Court's Callais decision signals that drawing districts with race in mind is now legally hazardous, whether the goal is minority representation or not. Cato's Thomas A. Berry and Walter Olson unpack the ruling, the collision between the 14th and 15th Amendments, and why a simple compactness rule could solve most of this if Congress had the will. Hosted on Acast.

2 campaign committees have been established by the Missouri Realtors, Scott Charton is a spokesman for Missourians for Fair Governance/Missourians for Fair Taxation. They are actively campaigning to stop Amendments. Placing the amendments on an August ballot is an, 'attempt to try to sneak something past the people,' says Charton.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Andrew Dunn is the publisher of Longleaf Politics and a contributing columnist to The Charlotte Observer. He joined me to discuss five of the proposals from the North Carolina legislature to make changes to the state constitution. Two proposals have already been approved to go to voters this November. Three others are making their way through the General Assembly. Plus, Charlotte's rejection of a plan to widen I-77 likely means no congestion relief for another decade or two.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated: “MEMORIAL DAY IS DESIGNATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF STREWING WITH FLOWERS OR OTHERWISE DECORATING THE GRAVES OF COMRADES WHO DIED IN DEFENSE OF THEIR COUNTRY DURING THE LATE REBELLION (THE CIVIL WAR) AND WHOSE BODIES NOW LIE IN ALMOST EVERY CITY, VILLAGE AND HAMLET, CHURCH YARD IN THE LAND.” So it is that the primary purpose of Memorial Day is to strew with flowers, literally and figuratively, the graves and memories of America's daring defenders. They, the fallen, died for freedom, liberty, for America, for us, for YOU AND ME. We were asked to remember those who died in the great American Civil War, but the day to remember now incorporates all who have given lives in defense of our country. Far too many wars, my fellow Americans, and far too many fallen defenders by the millions who believed in America, and in its fundamental principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all mankind. How grateful we should be. We are descendants or contemporaries of patriots, men and women who cherish freedom and were willing to fight and die to defend it if necessary. These warriors lived by the words of Patrick Henry who said: GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH. Our nation was formed in the fight for freedom, for there was no life worthwhile without it. There came our great Constitution and our incredible BILL OF RIGHTS, the rights and freedom amendments which are the finest in the history of mankind. No matter the origin, it seems as though, in so many ways, the passion for freedom may have been lost today as they once had it. We seem to take for granted what they died for. The courage they had seems lost today in so many ways, and the change in our country produces in so many ways an America in decline, at least politically, philosophically, and certainly passionately. Our ancestors fought for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights and the freedoms those now 27 Amendments allow us. They were ready to die for them, but we, the current people, allow them to be watered down, interpreted away and often ignored without the fight or conviction to protect and defend them. Perhaps the freedoms of Patrick Henry are giving way to a slow but sure death. Perhaps we have failed to meet the challenge of Ben Franklin who told us the Republic they created for us was a marvelous way of government IF we could keep it. I wonder if we can. So, in the midst of barbeques and baseball, it is so healthy to look back and remember. Remember a George Washington, a general, a leader, a President, a warrior, a patriot. Or a Paul Revere who rode the land warning the enemy was coming, sounding the alarm. It seems as though we need more Paul Reveres, warning us that enemies to our Constitution and way of life are coming, and in fact are HERE. We The People should be ever mindful of the threats and sound the alarm as he did, like those who energized our country once before, THE BOSTON TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and the revolution their courageous acts energized and inspired. They took a stand against taxes and so must we. Ours continue to rise, and rise to the point of confiscation, but nothing destroys freedom like taxes. President John Adams reminded us the two killers of liberty are slavery and debt. The debt of confiscatory taxation strangles freedom, and that is happening at an incredibly rapid pace today. Shame on us. It is hard for us to think back and remember the early days in America when slavery was a way of life in America, to our great shame and embarrassment. We, the moderns, find that inconceivable, and the practice of slavery of any kind abhorrent, do we not? Right-thinking men and women fought and fell to rid America of the scourge of slavery, God bless them. And to rid the world of despots like Hitler, evil to the core, Mussolini, and those who, in war, would destroy the freedom and liberty of all. God bless them. There can hardly be a family anywhere in America which has not laid a son or daughter on the altar of freedom. So many fought and fell, lives given willingly for us in war after war. There were those who supported those who fought. We honor them. Many of our warriors and defenders came home hurt and damaged in body or mind, perhaps for a lifetime. On Memorial Day, we honor these veterans of wars, these HEROES, these wounded warriors who gave us our freedom: WE OWE THEM! A debt we can never repay. To honor them is the least we can do, to thank them as we remember and as we encounter those in our military who follow after them. We should help and support them. They lived and died for what they believed. Whenever I encounter a member of our military, I thank them for what they did and what they do for our great country, for me, and for you, and for my friends and loved ones, and all Americans whether I know them or not. But, I really do know them, for I know what is in their hearts and minds and I know they love America as much as I do. I will salute them as a sign of respect. I wish them to know I will always be grateful for everything they do for me and the America I love. Perhaps YOU should do the same, not on one Memorial Day, but on all days. They, the heroes and defenders, are the very best of us. God bless them. Memorial Day is always celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery, a very special place, a burial site for some of America's bravest. At 3:00 PM on that Monday, a very special ceremony occurs, and each grave is decorated with a small American flag. The highlight of the celebration is a speech in honor of these brave men and women from the President or Vice President of the United States honoring their contributions to America and laying a wreath at the tomb of The Unknown Soldier. That tomb represents tens of thousands of other unknown soldiers who gave their lives in service to our country, but in death never got the recognition and respect they so justly deserved. Do remember them, my fellow Americans, do remember them as well on Memorial Day, as there may be no one else, no loved one, no friend or family to do so. As you do remember these American heroes, thank our God, the God who blesses America for all those who gave so much for us. They allowed us to be parents, to have and enjoy family, they allowed us to be workers and fully participate in the great opportunities America offers. THEY allowed us to be all we can be, because our soldiers, they were determined to be all they could be. Have a special place in your heart all week for any loved one, family or friend of yours who should be MEMORIALIZED AND REMEMBERED this day and always. And, as we pay tribute and remember, let us become better citizens of this great country, ready more than ever to preserve, protect, and defend all it stands for, all of our blessed and precious freedoms which exist like there are nowhere else in the world. Let us stand for what is right with actions, protests, town meetings, marches, debate, fact and truth at work, counteracting government spin and disinformation. Let us stand tall for the right, for truth, for all things moral and valuable. Let us resolve, WE THE PEOPLE, we who own and control this country, to do our job as citizens far better, and remember to cherish and exercise the greatest privilege which every American has THE VOTE! There is no more powerful weapon than the vote of the American citizen. It is the most precious Constitutional right we have, and for which our forefathers fought and died. Let us make certain we vote for those to represent us, who so passionately believe in these very special freedoms as we do, and they, the fallen, did. It is only then, when we do our part, day in and day out, that we would have the right to say, with conviction and passion, as our forefathers did: GOD BLESS AMERICA! For that can not happen unless WE THE PEOPLE do what is right, remembering whom and what went before, and committing with conviction to follow in their footsteps. These men and women died for GOD AND COUNTRY and for you and me in the never-ending fight to protect and preserve: FREEDOM! Memorialize their memories on Memorial Day and every day! God bless America and God bless you.

Travel to Historic Locations with History or Drive. For our 200th episode...we inerview Professor Greg Jackson—host of the podcast History That Doesn't Suck!He talks about his upcoming book 'Been There, Done That: How Our History Shows What We Can Overcome'. Greg argues today's hyper-partisan media, gridlock, and political violence have clear precedents in U.S. history, from the 1790s newspaper wars to violent conflicts like the caning of Charles Sumner and the Baltimore riots. The book is a fascinating look at history and explanation of how we made it through those times...and showing how we can do the same today.You're going to enjoy this one.

Why are bankers, the AFL-CIO, and law enforcement unions all storming Capitol Hill at the same time? In this episode of the Bitcoin Policy Hour, Zack Cohen sits down with Zack Shapiro and Ken Egan to dissect the CLARITY Act markup, the BRCA developer protection carve-out, and the bizarre coalition trying to kill stablecoin yield. They explain why Tim Scott and the Senate Banking Republicans held the line and what 100+ amendments from Senator Cortez Masto really mean.

On this episode of Broke-ish, Amber and Erika are joined by political strategist and longtime friend of the show, Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, to discuss the Supreme Court's recent decision eroding the Voting Rights Act against the backdrop of Jesse Jackson's historical presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 and what those events reveal about the legacy of Black voting. We start with the history of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and lay the foundation for why the Voting Rights Act was still necessary almost a century later. Then, we look at the impact of the VRA in both affirming the right of Black people to vote and in increasing the number of elected Black representatives. Through Jesse Jackson's presidential runs in 1984 and 1988, Dedrick connects the dots between Black enfranchisement and Black political power. But alas, we also acknowledge the limitations of Black voting power and Black representatives to work within a system intentionally designed to keep us subjugated. Press play to join the conversation!

Election Day is Saturday, and every voter will get to decide on five constitutional amendments. So we'll explain exactly what a yes or no vote would do with Steven Procopio, the president of the Public Affairs Research Council.

This week, Josh and Kevin, along with guests Jordan Hoover and Elliot Hubbard, discuss Michigan's deer hunting regulations, focusing on recent proposed changes including the move to a one-buck tag system and antler point restrictions. -Jordan and Elliot explained the team's recommendation for a one-buck system statewide - Amendments like antler point restrictions and changes to gun season dates. - Various aspects of deer management, including challenges with antlerless harvest, processing barriers, and the role of crop damage permits - Limited engagement of the general hunting population in antlerless harvest and potential solutions to increase participation in managing deer populations. -Jordan emphasizes that while there are regional differences in deer management between the Upper Peninsula and other areas, the fundamental principles of deer biology and herd health apply statewide, including the need to balance sex ratios, maintain age diversity, and ensure herds stay within carrying capacity. - They discuss both the benefits and concerns of proposed regulatory changes As always, THANK YOU for listening!

Our Constitution is about limited government and restraining the power of the state, but we've got a president asserting powers he lawfully doesn't have, a Supreme Court that largely helps him do so, and a Republican Congress that's just dozing through it all. Americans need a refresher on how our government is supposed to work under the Constitution. Plus, the mifepristone case has brought abortion politics roaring back in time for the midterms, Trump is creating his own libel rules and circumventing press freedoms, and no, SCOTUS, the 14th and 15th Amendments were not designed to be colorblind on the matter of voting rights. Melissa Murray joins Tim Miller.show notes Melissa's new annotated guide to the Constitution  Melissa's "Strict Scrutiny" podcast  The NYT on the Supreme Court's shadow docket  Tickets for our Bulwark Live shows in San Diego on 5/20 and in LA on 5/21: TheBulwark.com/Events Exclusive $25-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/BULWARK.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the Virginia legislature's rejection of Governor Abigail Spanberger's suggested amendments to increase the restrictiveness of passed "assault firearm" and magazine bans. We also discuss the Trump administration's official reclassification of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act and what it could mean for legal marijuana users who wish to own guns. Stories: -https://thereload.com/virginia-legislature-rejects-governor-spanbergers-requests-to-tighten-ammo-mag-restrictions-hospital-gun-ban/ -https://thereload.com/trump-administration-reschedules-marijuana-tells-scotus-no-impact-on-weed-and-guns-case/ -https://thereload.com/maryland-gun-dealer-to-pay-baltimore-2-million-in-ghost-gun-settlement/ -https://thereload.com/newsletter-virginia-gun-control-nears-final-form-as-legislature-rejects-governors-biggest-requested-change/

Two stories this week that seem separate from one another are both examples of Governor Abbott's MAGA machine in Texas' slow and steady erosion of our rights under the Constitution. There's the undermining of a local ordinance in Houston designed to protect Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful detention, and then there's the greenlighting of Ten Commandments posting in Texas classrooms, a clear assault on First Amendment church/state barriers. Both are audacious attacks on YOUR rights - and both are all the more reason to resist.Thanks for listening!

March 21, 2026On March 21, 1861 Senator Alexander Stephens delivered his Cornerstone Speech, In the Cornerstone Speech he described a Confederate government based on racial enslavement, Stephens expected the new doctrine of the Confederacy to spread around the world, Abraham Lincoln rejected the Confederacy's doctrine, and as president, declared enslaved Americans to be free, It would take the passing of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to enshrine the principles of the Declaration of Independence in the Constitution, Tearing apart old political systems permitted the rise of new ones built on a clearer view of the meaning of the United States.  Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

1. Senate Vote and Legislative Status The Senate voted 51–47 to proceed with debate on the Save America Act. All Republicans supported moving forward except Lisa Murkowski; Tom Tillis did not vote. Democrats are portrayed as unanimously opposed. The bill is now in debate, with Republicans attempting to build public support. The legislation would: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Require photo ID to cast a ballot. This is: A common-sense safeguard, not voter suppression. Necessary to maintain election integrity and public trust. Voting is framed as a sacred right earned through American history and constitutional amendments. The speech references: The 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments as expansions of voting rights. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Indiana voter ID case) that upheld photo ID laws. Facts are laid out that: Minority voter participation increased after voter ID laws. The Court rejected arguments that voter ID is discriminatory. 81% of Americans support voter ID laws. Roughly 75% of African Americans and 80%+ of Hispanics support voter ID. 70% of rank-and-file Democrats support voter ID, despite elected Democrats opposing it. Democratic opposition is elitist and disconnected from voters. 1B. Immigration and Election Integrity Link The speaker claims: Over 12 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. during the Biden administration.
