Podcasts about Bill of rights

In this episode, Mary Sarah Bilder, Founders Professor at Boston College Law School, explores the history of rights and liberties in America and the origins of the Bill of Rights. She traces how ideas about rights developed before, during, and after the American Revolution, shaped debates over the Constitution, and ultimately led to the adoption of the first 10 amendments. She also explores how those amendments came to be known collectively as the Bill of Rights and gained the significance they have today. Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer at the National Constitution Center, moderates.  Resources  “The Blessings of Liberty and Bills of Rights,” by Mary Sarah Bilder for the National Constitution Center  Bill of Rights Resources, National Constitution Center  The Promise of America: Reflections on Our Enduring Ideals, (2026)    Stay Connected and Learn More  Stay connected with We the People—follow, rate, and review the show wherever you listen.  Questions or comments?

Jeff is back after a long absence, and he explains why: the bipartisan insanity in America left him too disgusted to record, even for the nation's 250th birthday. He remembers the 1976 bicentennial, when kids collected special quarters, flags flew everywhere, and Americans actually liked their country. Compare that to now. What changed? Muslim terror supporters are winning elections coast to coast: Mamdani's New York, where tax dollars fund Israel-bashing puppet shows for four-year-olds, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed will cruise into the Senate after answering a synagogue terror attack with "hurt people, hurt people." Jew hate is now the one issue uniting the far left and the Nazi right — and it wins. And Jeff is officially done defending Trump. Iran "unconditionally surrendered"? They're still firing missiles, rebuilding nuclear sites, and executing protesters while Trump begs for a deal and dangles F-35s in front of Turkey's fanatical dictator Erdogan. Compromised by Qatari billions or just a moron — either way, America's last chance is gone. Next week: Jeff finally takes on the Lindsay Clancy case.

In this episode, Becky sits down with Dr. John Kirk Boyd, a civil and environmental rights lawyer and the visionary behind the International Bill of Rights: Humanity's Agreement to Live Together. This conversation goes far beyond a standard book review. Dr. Boyd discusses his lifelong mission to move human rights from mere aspirations to enforceable realities through an international judicial architecture. He shares fascinating insights into his legal background—including arguing before the US Supreme Court—and his work on the Russian Constitution. In this episode, we explore: The Mission of Unite for Rights: How the project seeks to extend the historic work of Eleanor Roosevelt and René Cassin to create a modern social contract. Interactive Technology: A look at the "spinning globe" and the "Drafting Through Dialogue" initiative, where global citizens can participate in refining the Bill of Rights. AI as a Collaborator: How Dr. Boyd and his team are utilizing AI (specifically Claude) as a tool for refinement and human-centric collaboration rather than just data scraping. The Power of the "Triad": Why authors should embrace the combination of print, e-book, and audiobook to reach a global audience. A Call to Action: How listeners can participate in this global movement, from signing their names on the digital globe to supporting the growth of the Unite for Rights organization. Whether you are an author interested in the production process or a global citizen concerned about the future of democracy and human rights, this episode offers a profound look at how storytelling and law can converge to shape a better world.

Dick Heller says, "He is just an average dude," and is so proud of it that he wears a t-shirt saying it.  But in my opinion he is one of the most important people for the Second Amendment since the Bill Of Rights.  His actions have reaffirmed our rights.  This interview catches some people up who don't know, and gives alot of new information for people who do.  Sit back for a few minutes and catch on to his friendly and jovial personality, while his passion for freedom and liberty prevail.

BILL OF RIGHTS - DOES AUSTRALIA NEED ENSHRINED FREEDOMS? POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY MASTERCLASS 06WITH DR. CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDSAustralians for Better Government has launched a new series devoted to political philosophy - exploring the fundamental principles regarding the state, government, justice, liberty, rights, and the enforcement of law by authority.We are privileged to have Dr. Christopher Reynolds on board, who has a PHD in Constitutional law and political philosophy.On episode 6, Dr Reynolds answers the question of whether the freedoms of Australians should be enshrined in a Bill of Rights, or whether the current protections are adequate. ABOUT AUSTRALIANS FOR BETTER GOVERNMENTAustralians for Better Government is a non-partisan advocacy organisation dedicated to reforming Australia's democratic processes. Through education, public events, and policy advocacy, ABG works to promote greater accountability, transparency, and genuine representation in government for the benefit of all Australians.Elected Members of Parliament often serve their own ambitions, or the will of their political party, rather than faithfully representing the interests and concerns of their constituents. We will begin the discussion to fix that. Learn more about Australians for Better Government at: https://www.australiansforbetter.com

 Who decides what rights parents have when it comes to their child's education in West Virginia? The state's Parents' Bill of Rights explains how families can access school records, choose educational options, and participate in important decisions while outlining legal limits and safeguards for student welfare. Understanding these protections can help parents work more effectively with schools and advocate for their children with confidence. 

I think the majority of us would agree that the gang patch ban, along with the renewed police attitude to gang activity, has produced a pretty successful answer to what was previously a situation with gangs where they basically ran rampant, ruined a lot of people's lives and produced untold misery in a lot of small-town New Zealand. I note as a watcher of Parliamentary Question Time that Minister of Police Mark Mitchell is very rarely peppered with questions these days because the Opposition know they were on the wrong side of history i.e. letting gangs run wild. It hasn't stopped though, with some bloke who got arrested and charged with a gang insignia breach finding himself a lawyer, going to court and successfully finding that the gang patch law is not consistent with the Bill of Rights. The upside is this now gets referred back to Parliament and they don't have to do a lot about it. They can of course appeal the finding. But Judith Collins, before she retired as Attorney General, suggested the new law may well find trouble in court. So whether an appeal is wise is debatable. But this bloke's lawyer (his details by the way are suppressed) thinks if this goes nowhere, it can be taken to the United Nations, which I think is where most of us would want to end our interest in the case. Kim Dotcom's case might go to the UN as well. My question is: for what? We have of course signed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which I'm sure when we signed it, like a lot of United Nations frippery, we didn't anticipate the nitty-gritty of gang law being part of it. Generally, the UN conventions are built around the more extreme outworkings of law and morals and societal ills, and the Mongrel Mob down State Highway 1 on a funeral process wasn't one of them. Which brings us to the important question here. Let's say the court here is right, and the gang patch ban is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights. But in being inconsistent it's brought some peace to people's lives, has quelled a level of behaviour most of us saw as out of control, and has broadly solved a problem. So who really won then?

After taking some time away to help my family through my dad's open-heart surgery, I'm back with a new episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson. Thank you to everyone who reached out and supported my family during this time.Today, I share my opinions on several current events. I discuss why I believe America must remain a sovereign nation and why I have concerns about the growing military relationship between the United States and Israel, including why I believe these actions raise real constitutional and legal questions.I also share my thoughts on the continued loss of American service members in the Iran War and explain why the United States should NOT be involved in another foreign war.Finally, I discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how it is connected to the Epstein files, and why I think Americans deserve greater transparency and accountability from those in power.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – When the Constitution was written in 1787, it created a stronger national government than what existed under the Articles of Confederation. However, many Americans worried that this new government could become too powerful and threaten individual liberty. Hence, our Founding Fathers embedded within the U.S. Constitution the...

I was back in the USA for the big 250th birthday celebration, so here are some thoughts I had time to share about the US Bill of Rights. I also had a quick livestream on the Fourth of July to read the Declaration of Independence and chat with some of you!

Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Let's start with the idea that religious thoughts cannot influence government. It's the idea that the government cannot establish an official state religion. Earliest Americans had largely fled Europe due to the fact that they had refused to worship at the state church and had experienced much persecution for that...

Tuesday episode. Live and online play. 1776 episode 3 Bill of Rights.

This episode reframes the Declaration of Independence as more than soaring ideals about equality and natural rights. Former California Supreme Court Justice Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar argues the text contains an underappreciated architecture of government: accountability to citizens, managing political conflict across regions, and establishing legitimate authority both domestically and in the international order. The result is a Declaration that reads like a nation-building document designed to make a new state workable after revolution. Responding to Cuéllar, Larry Kramer—former Stanford Law dean, a leading scholar of democratic constitutionalism, and now president of the London School of Economics—adds a grounding historical frame: in 1776, the Declaration was shaped as much by law as by philosophy. Kramer argues the grievances were understood as claims that Britain had violated the colonies' constitutional rights under the British customary constitution, which helps explain why the Declaration's “structural” ideas are often implicit rather than spelled out as a blueprint. Together, Cuéllar and Kramer show how the Declaration operates in two registers: a practical indictment of governmental failure and a foundational text later generations repeatedly reinterpret to justify (or resist) evolving structures of American governance. Their exchange highlights a central tension that persists—between universal promises and the administrative choices that determine how, and for whom, those promises are implemented.

Host Michael McConnell sets up the episode's core premise and introduces guests Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar and Larry Kramer to explore the Declaration's structural dimensions. [00:05:21] Chapter 2 — Cuéllar's thesis: “Text vs. territory” and the Declaration as state-building Cuéllar argues the Declaration is not just a creed; it catalogs governance failures under George III and implies the need for a sovereign that can function at home and abroad. [00:06:04] Chapter 3 — The Freedom Train as a case study in ideals meeting administration (1947–48) Using the racially integrated Freedom Train—and its refusal to stop in segregated cities—Cuéllar spotlights the friction between universal principles and on-the-ground governance. [00:13:07] Chapter 4 — 1890–1950: expansion of the administrative state and contested equality Cuéllar walks through key moments (Du Bois/Niagara Movement, Wilson at Independence Hall, Becker vs. Coolidge, FDR's “Second Bill of Rights,” Ho Chi Minh quoting Jefferson) to show how the Declaration structures recurring fights over equality, borders, and state capacity. [00:28:51] Chapter 5 — Kramer's response: the Declaration's legal-constitutional origins and how texts evolve Kramer argues the Declaration was fundamentally a legal brief grounded in the British customary constitution; its grievances alleged constitutional violations, and later generations repurpose founding texts to frame new disputes.

Happy Independence Day! In this special milestone episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by exploring the intersection of American liberty, legal rights, and financial security. First, Todd welcomes Joseph Warren from Financial Planning HQ to introduce a clever framework: The Financial Bill of Rights. Just as the Founding Fathers put their lives and fortunes on the line to establish a self-correcting nation, Joseph explains how your wealth strategy should also be adaptive and client-focused. They break down how constitutional amendments parallel smart financial planning—from a "First Amendment" right to a values-based strategy, to a "Second Amendment" right to proactively defend your wealth against market crashes, and an "Eighth Amendment" protection against the "cruel and unusual punishment" of excessive taxes through strategic planning. Later in the hour, defense attorney Shannon Salmon-Haas joins the studio to dive deep into the true meaning of due process, the rule of law, and what it really means to defend the Constitution in the modern legal system. Todd and Shannon also tackle the critical topic of protecting your personal autonomy, warning listeners about how a lack of a durable power of attorney can strip away your civil rights in a guardianship court. From patriotic history lessons to actionable advice on protecting your estate and your money, this episode is a masterclass in preserving your hard-earned independence.

They talked about why the Declaration of Independence was written, who made it happen, and how it sparked a bunch of new ideas for the United States after winning independence.

Subscribe through my link for 40% off unlimited access.In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with broadcaster and founder of The Blaze, Glenn Beck, for a sweeping conversation on the true meaning of the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Christian ideas that gave birth to the United States. Beck argues that America's founding was not simply a revolt against taxation, but a revolution rooted in God-given rights, individual liberty, and the belief that government exists to protect, not grant, freedom. We explore the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, natural law, slavery, the Founding Fathers, and why Beck believes the American experiment cannot be understood without its Judeo-Christian foundations. The conversation also examines the influence of the Bible, the Enlightenment, John Locke, George Whitefield, the Roman Republic, and the balance between faith, liberty, and political power. Beck explains why America's constitutional system was designed to restrain government, why rights belong to the individual rather than the state, and why the nation's founding principles remain under attack today. Finally, we discuss whether America is a nation, an idea, or both, and what it will take to preserve the principles that have shaped the republic for nearly 250 years.

Vor 250 Jahren sagen sich 13 nordamerikanische Kolonien von der britischen Krone los. Die Unabhängigkeitserklärung vom 4. Juli 1776 markiert den Gründungstag der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Unter US-Präsident Donald Trump fallen die Feierlichkeiten zum Jubiläum besonders pathetisch aus; er nutzt den Nationalfeiertag für seine politischen MAGA-Botschaften. ARD-Washington-Korrespondent Samuel Jackisch blickt in dieser 11KM-Folge auf Mythos und Wirklichkeit und erzählt, was von der Idee der Gründerväter nach 250 Jahren geblieben ist: Was bleibt vom Versprechen der Gründungsurkunde „All men are created equal“? Und welche Bedeutung hat das Versprechen vom “American Dream” unter Trump überhaupt noch?

Tonight, on this penetrating, investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up…With the 250th birthday of the United States rapidly approaching — we take a critical and intensive look at the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and at its foundation and the importance of a free press in a democracy.The most basic liberties guaranteed to Americans — embodied in the 45 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — assure Americans a government that is responsible to its citizens and responsive to their wishes. These 45 words are as alive and important today as they were more than 249 years ago.These liberties are neither liberal nor conservative, Democratic nor Republican — they are the basis for our representative democratic form of government.45 words that grant us the inalienable right that:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.Thomas Jefferson in 1787 famously articulated that a “well-informed public holds ultimate power; without truth and oversight, even the best-intentioned government can devolve into tyranny”.Jefferson's preference for “newspapers without government” over “government without newspapers” was essential to the fledgling U.S. democracy and, as the truly wise man that he was, these maxims hold true to this day as the press is being tested like it never has been before.President Trump had his most recent “meltdown” in an on-air interview with NBC's Kristen Welker. The world bore witness to “Exhibit A” … of Donald Trump's face becoming as red as a beet … as he shouted at and insulted another female, minority reporter — this time it was Kristen Welker, an NBC journalist who is biracial.Welker's mother is black and her father is white.It is crystal clear Trump is triggered by reporters that aren't ass-smooching sycophants as the members of his entire presidential cabinet are.Intelligent women in general and minority women especially trigger Trump the most.We'll shine the antiseptic light of the truth on the importance of having an independent free press and how it has proven to be an essential ingredient in the making of and maintaining a democracy.Also, we'll investigate the damage the free press has suffered at the hands of Donald Trump and his constantly dishonest style of “scorched-earth politics” — where he rails against all media, unless of course, it's his coveted Fox News.And we've researched and plan to share with you if there are any fair and accurate comparisons to Mussolini's Fascist Italy and Hitler's Nazi Germany and their treatment of the press in the lead-up to their power-grabs as they sought to change the balance of power for the free world.Every time Donald Trump attacks a reporter — the free press dies a little bit each time.The second Trump administration's core campaign pledge to protect open discourse has sharply clashed with its executive actions, resulting in a systemic contraction of First Amendment protections.Critics and civil liberties watchdogs argue that while the administration aggressively targets what it deems "left-wing bias" and "federal collusion" with tech platforms, it simultaneously deploys state infrastructure to:—     penalize critical media,—     restrict assembly,and …—     mandate strict government-approved speech orthodoxy.The fact of the matter is:Donald Trump rails against EVERYONE who doesn't blow smoke up his ass — as a lot of people do.He's always done this. He will continue to do so.  He's a thin-skinned, weak-charactered, congenital narcissist — THIS is what they do.   They can't take any criticism … a narcissist to this degree can't even entertain anything that isn't praise.We'll examine all this … pero mucho más aquí y solamente aquí — on this edition of Light ‘Em Up!The search for the truth and justice begins RIGHT HERE … and RIGHT NOW!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!Support the show!We want to hear from you!We want to hear from you!Support the show

Patrick Eddington, Cato Institute senior fellow and former CIA analyst, confirms what civil libertarians have argued for years: the FISA court has quietly inserted a national security exception into the Fourth Amendment that doesn't exist anywhere in the Constitution's text, and the FBI has been searching the Section 702 database for information on American citizens without a warrant since 2008. The reauthorization is currently stalled — caught between Trump's demand to attach it to the Save America Act and a Senate that doesn't have the votes — but Eddington warns the surveillance hawks will use every tactic available to push it through.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most visionary and historically significant speeches of the 20th century: President Franklin D. Roosevelt's State of the Union Address, delivered to Congress on January 11, 1944.As the tides of World War II were finally beginning to turn in favor of the Allies, FDR was already looking ahead. We explore the profound shift in his rhetoric—from surviving "the world's greatest war against human slavery" to ensuring that Americans returned home to a society worth fighting for. We break down Roosevelt's powerful argument that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security, and we unpack his legendary proposal for a "Second Bill of Rights."In this episode, we discuss:The Wartime Context: The sacrifices made by the American public and the military in 1944, and why FDR believed "mere survival" wasn't a sufficient reward for their struggles.Freedom From Fear & Want: How FDR linked international peace—a system meant to prevent future aggression from nations like Germany and Japan—with domestic economic stability.The Second Bill of Rights: A deep dive into FDR's proposed economic rights, including the right to a good job, a decent home, adequate medical care, and a quality education.The Legacy: How this address shaped modern debates over social safety nets, human rights, and the American Dream.Whether you're a history buff, a political junkie, or just curious about the roots of today's economic debates, you won't want to miss this deep dive into a speech that imagined a new foundation for American prosperity.Links & Resources:Read the original document from the FDR Presidential Library: 1944 State of the Union Address (PDF)Subscribe & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts!Audio Franklin D.

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Host Bev Livingston speaks with her guest, Lora McDonald, Executive Director of Metro Organization for Racial and Economic Equity, better known as “MORE Squared”.  Lora McDonald has served as a social worker in metropolitan Kansas City for three decades. In her early career, she worked in a Missouri state prison; licensed foster and adoptive families; and served youth who were street homeless. McDonald's career evolved to developing and implementing programs, ranging from crisis intervention with adoptive families to creating community gardens; more recently, McDonald was the architect of the Second Chance Program for people returning from incarceration.  While designing Second Chance, she would organize the Kansas City Metropolitan Reentry Coalition in order to address policies that impeded the success of people with criminal histories.  Around the same time, she was introduced to MORE2 and the National Leadership Training from the Gamaliel Network. She has been Ex. Dir of More² since 2012, and during that time, the organization has won many victories, expanded into Kansas, and sustained a significant ongoing public presence through a myriad of issues. Lora McDonald was the lead organizer who beat back a plan to collapse KCPS for an all-charter school model; she wrote the bill and led statewide organizing to win food stamps for people with drug convictions; and drove the campaign that established the first tenant's rights in Kansas City, Missouri with the passage of Healthy Homes. MORE2 is recognized as one of the leading organizations for police reform in the metro, specifically focused on accountability and transparency in Kansas City, Kansas, and local control of Kansas City Police Department. Bev and Lora will talk about the More² Gubernatorial Forum, Voting Rights for Formerly Incarcerated people and on June 2nd, a Jail Bill of Rights coming up before the legislature in Jackson County for a final vote. Then, Host Keith Brown El will talk with our NEW Host, Justice Johnson, about jails in Jackson County MO and Kansas City MO as we try to keep listeners informed of the changes being made in our local incarceration system. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.    

Commissioners in Lake County, Florida, adopted a “Bill of Rights” ordinance protecting the God-given, constitutionally protected rights of citizens from unconstitutional mandates, statutes, or decrees from Tallahassee or D.C., explained Commissioner Anthony Sabatini in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman. Sabatini, who previously served in the state legislature ... The post FL County Adopts ‘Bill of Rights Ordinance’ to Nullify Unconstitutional Power Grabs appeared first on The New American.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we discuss the political attacks surrounding Thomas Massie, growing concerns over foreign lobbying influence in American politics, and why millions of Americans feel their government no longer represents them.We also discuss the continued secrecy surrounding the Epstein case and why the American people are demanding full transparency, the complete unredacted Epstein files, and lawful accountability for every individual involved regardless of status or political connections.As corruption, manipulation, and moral decay continue spreading through powerful institutions, Americans must hold tightly to their God-given Constitutional rights, speak truth boldly, and refuse to surrender their freedoms out of fear.Truth matters. Justice matters. And no one should be above the law.--https://www.bible.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.

Ratified in 1788, The U.S. Constitution outlines the powers of the three branches of government and establishes the rights of all Americans. The document united the 13 independent states in a spirit of compromise and set forth the official viewpoint of a newly unified nation. Its most significant feature are the amendment provisions.

Good artists borrow, great artists steal. Apparently, Thomas Jefferson got the memo. It turns out some North Carolinians penned their own Declaration of Independence nearly a year before TJ scribed his. So, if Thomas Jefferson stole (borrowed/homaged) the language for the Declaration of Independence, why have we never talked about this? Well, there was one heck of cover up! To get the full story, we call up David Fleming, author of Who's Your Founding Father?: One Man’s Epic Quest to Uncover the First, True Declaration of Independence.

Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike are joined by America Out Loud's Paul Engel, host of The Constitutional Study, for a hard-hitting discussion on whether America can still recover the republic the Founders built, or whether “democracy” has become the velvet-gloved road to tyranny. Engel lays out how a broken education system, unchecked courts, unvetted politicians, runaway debt, foreign influence, and imperial wars have pushed the Constitution to the margins while both parties hide behind slogans of “democracy.” From the Founders' warnings to today's political class, the Two Mikes expose the urgent question facing America First citizens: can the people still fire the crooks, frauds, and power-hungry elites before the republic is gone for good.SPONSORSMy Gold Guy: https://www.mygoldguy.com/twomikeswww.TwoMikes.us

What happens when government starts redefining what a “right” actually is? Today, Todd dives into the push behind the so-called “Unhoused Bill of Rights” and explains why this framing—while rooted in compassion—can fundamentally reshape how we understand freedom in America. Todd unpacks the difference between natural rights and government-created entitlements, shares personal experiences working with the homeless, and explains why good intentions don't always lead to good policy. This episode explores constitutional principles, the role of government, and how emotional appeals can be used to expand power in ways that impact everyone.

In this episode Jeff tears apart the latest assassination attempt against Donald Trump and the staggering security failures that allowed it to happen. From an armed suspect getting dangerously close to the president to the laughable claims that the system “worked” Jeff explains why this was a complete disgrace and why the response afterward was even worse. Jeff then breaks down the war with Iran and how what started with clear objectives quickly unraveled. Bad advice, unrealistic expectations and a fundamental misunderstanding of the enemy have led to a situation where Iran is now dictating terms. Trump's focus on markets and public perception over actual victory has turned a position of strength into an avoidable mess. The bigger problem is what this moment represents. Jeff argues this was likely the last real chance to cripple the world's leading terror regime and instead the United States blinked. The result is a stronger more emboldened enemy and a future that looks far more dangerous than it needed to be. Receive new episodes directly in your inbox: https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe
