Recently a surprising ruling came down from U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth. The Reagan-appointed judge found that Kari Lake - (formerly best known as the loser of two state-wide races in Arizona), had acted unlawfully in running the United States Agency for Global Media, the body that oversees Voice of America and the handful of other government-assisted media outlets.  Kari Lake, wrote the judge "satisfies the requirements of neither the statute nor the Constitution," potentially making all of her actions this past year null and void. Lake, who once described herself to a gaggle of reporters as "your worst fricking nightmare" told NPR that she would appeal the ruling.  Last spring February when Lake started slashing and burning the 80-year old service, Micah spoke to Nicole Hemmer, a historian at Vanderbilt University to learn about the history the VOA.

In this episode, Ashley Campbell explores the purpose of the church, questioning whether it is truly meant for non-believers. She emphasizes the importance of church as a community for believers to grow, engage, and equip one another in their faith. The conversation delves into the need for intimacy in worship, the role of church leaders, and the necessity of fostering a dependency on the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, Ashley argues that the church should focus on maturing believers rather than solely reaching out to non-believers.Takeaways-The church's primary function may not be to serve non-believers.-Believers should be equipped for ministry and growth.-Intimacy in worship should not be interrupted by announcements.-Engaging the congregation can transform the church experience.-The role of church leaders is to empower the body of Christ.-Unity in faith is essential for the church's mission.-Believers need to foster a personal relationship with God.-Church should be a house of prayer for all believers.-Every believer has a role in the church community.-The church should focus on spiritual growth and maturity.Chapters00:00 Rethinking the Purpose of Church06:09 Engaging the Body of Christ11:53 Equipping Believers for Ministry17:36 The Role of Personal Experience in Faith keywordschurch, believers, non-believers, community, faith, ministry, engagement, equipping, unity, spiritual growthConnect with me:https://linktr.ee/daily_encouragement_ashleyRumble Account: https://rumble.com/user/AshleyCampbellFacebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/dailyencouragementwithashleycampbell/Want to purchase a signed copy of mybook?https://buy.stripe.com/7sI8xdg6F2kZgSIfZ6ORRead the reviews on Amazon? https://a.co/d/gwyks9gWant to send me a financial donationbecause you value what I am doing on social media?https://buy.stripe.com/eVacNt3jTbVz9qg4gkWant to join my Facebook group thatwill equip you with the knowledge of the History of the UnitedStates, what the Constitution means and how you can preserve thisgreat nation we live in?Join my paid group today!

UNBIASED University is in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she's breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more. In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we explore two foundational constitutional principles that continue to shape major legal and political debates: separation of church and state and due process. What does the First Amendment actually require when it comes to religion in public life, and how have courts interpreted the boundaries between government and faith? We break down the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause, examining how the Supreme Court has navigated issues involving public schools, religious expression, and government funding. We also take a deep dive into due process, the constitutional guarantee that the government must follow fair procedures and respect certain fundamental rights before depriving someone of life, liberty, or property. From procedural protections in courtrooms to broader questions about substantive rights, this episode provides a clear, nonpartisan explanation of how these doctrines developed and why they remain central to constitutional law today.

Clay's conversation with historian Beau Breslin about the nuts and bolts of a constitutional convention in America. Neither Clay nor Beau thinks such a convention is likely, given the constitutional conservatism of the American people, but if Americans chose to hold one around the 250th birthday of the United States, how would it be organized? How would we choose delegates to ensure, this time, that they truly represent our multicultural demographics? How would we avoid letting the lobbyists, professional politicians, and the media distort the process and ruin the project? Would it be possible in our time to enforce a secrecy rule among the delegates? What sort of civics training would we want them to undergo, and by whom? If we drafted a new constitution, what would the ratification process look like? As they discuss, Thomas Jefferson urged us to tear up the Constitution once every 19 years. This episode was recorded on February 12, 2026.

Democrats are poised to pass an unconstitutional income tax. Elected sheriffs in Washington state will now be subject to the whims of unelected bureaucrats. Investigation reveals schools have a predator problem. The media labels ISIS-inspired bombers as "activists" and “protesters.” 

Synopsis:  What happens when the President threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act? Two leading voices weigh in on how Congress, veterans, and citizens can push back against rising militarization. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description [original air-date November 2025]:  The U.S. military is sworn to serve the Constitution, but that's getting complicated under Donald Trump. The President has deployed National Guard troops to half a dozen U.S. cities against the wishes of local officials and ICE agents are roaming around communities acting under unclear rules. Now the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. What difference would that make? Laura's guests are U.S. House Representative Pramila Jayapal and Marine veteran Janessa Goldbeck, who say it's time to reject authoritarianism and uphold the Constitution. Congresswoman Jayapal is the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement and represents Washington State's 7th Congressional District. She has been at the forefront of congressional oversight and opposition to the Trump administration's immigration policies. Captain Goldbeck is CEO of Vet Voice, a national nonprofit that mobilizes veterans and military families to shape American democracy and defend the values they swore to protect. What can Congress, veterans and the general public do to stop the militarization of our cities? Join us for this powerful conversation, plus a commentary on the other times that the U.S. government has turned its military inward. Note: This conversation took place prior to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in MN] “What we're seeing now is the president attempting to reshape the U.S. military into a tool of his own domestic political control . . . And then to deploy uniformed service members and the National Guard across the country against the wishes of local elected leaders . . . I feel a lot of sadness and frustration on behalf of those who are serving in uniform today who are being put into this very partisan political position by the United States president.” - Janessa Goldbeck “What law enforcement should be doing — of any kind, whether it's ICE, National Guard, whoever — is trying to deescalate. What we clearly see this set of military actors doing is escalate, right? When you crack down brutally, when you shoot a rubber bullet at a faith leader in Chicago, or when you violently push someone down to the ground, who by the way happens to be the father of three U.S. Marines . . . I think that is really an attempt to suppress any kind of dissent.” - Rep. Pramila Jayapal Guests: •  Captain Janessa Goldbeck: Marine Corps Veteran; CEO, Vet Voice Foundation •  Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal: D-WA, 7th Congressional District Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

In Episode 147 of MAX Afterburner, former U.S. Navy TOPGUN fighter pilot Matthew “Whiz” Buckley delivers a powerful and wide-ranging debrief covering air combat, current military operations, the cultural divide in America, and the spiritual path of the warrior.Whiz breaks down the shocking report of a Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet shooting down three U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles, explaining how an engagement like this could unfold and what it reveals about the realities of modern aerial warfare. He also shares his thoughts on Operation Epic Fury and the broader strategic picture as military tensions escalate.The conversation then shifts to the growing cultural and political divide in America, highlighted by the backlash Olympic hockey gold medalists received simply for taking a congratulatory call from the President and attending the State of the Union.From there, Whiz dives into a deeper discussion about religious freedom, tolerance, and the difficult questions the West must confront when dealing with radical Islam. Drawing from his own combat aviation experience and years of service defending the Constitution, he explores the tension between America's commitment to religious liberty and the reality of confronting extremist ideologies that reject those same freedoms. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation about faith, freedom, and the values worth defending.Whiz also honors the courage of two extraordinary American aviators who were awarded the Medal of Honor, reflecting on the warrior ethos that defines those who willingly fly into harm's way.He then shares details about the upcoming Sacred Warrior Fellowship retreat taking place March 27–29, where veterans, first responders, and seekers gather in disciplined formation to reconnect with God and begin the journey of healing.The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer asking for peace on earth and God's guidance during uncertain times.In this episode:• Tactical debrief of the Kuwaiti F/A-18 shooting down three U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles• Analysis of Operation Epic Fury and what it signals strategically• The growing partisan divide and the reaction to Olympic gold medalists speaking with the President• A discussion on religious freedom, tolerance, and confronting radical Islamic extremism• Honoring two American aviators awarded the Medal of Honor• Sacred Warrior Fellowship retreat announcement (March 27–29)• A closing prayer for peace, wisdom, and guidanceSubscribe to MAX Afterburner on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and watch the full episode on the No Fallen Heroes YouTube channel.

Days after a three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant threatened that “heads must roll” for the “reckless, irresponsible, motivated, contemptuous conduct and manner” in which the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT), an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Education, portrayed the judiciary as a venal institution in a Class 8 Social Science textbook, our guest, former Supreme Court judge, Justice Abhay S. Oka, takes a studied view of the controversy. The podcast discusses if the government, through the NCERT, used the textbook as an anti-judiciary propaganda tool to influence young minds in their formative years. The Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the textbook's contents. It imposed a “complete ban” and ordered the withdrawal of the textbook in an order on February 26. It said the textbook's contents revealed “calculated” attempt to instill a sense of bias against the judiciary in the “impressionable minds” of young school children, and through them, to the society at large and even the future generations. The court has no intention to let go and has scheduled the suo motu case for further hearing on March 11, 2026. The episode also debates if the ban on the book amounted to judicial censorship. Under Article 19(2) of the Constitution, free speech can be restricted only through a law.  Finally, the discussion delves into the court's decision to initiate contempt action and going on a limb to make school principals “personally responsible” to “seize and seal” the copies of the textbook.

Send a textWhat if the fastest path to a balanced budget isn't a new amendment at all, but simply enforcing the one we already have? We sit down with constitutional lawyer Joe Wolverton to dismantle the popular case for a new constitutional convention and to map out a realistic, lawful way to rein in Washington's spending. Joe traces his journey from a military family to constitutional scholarship and lays out a plain reading of the Constitution: enumerated powers are few, and everything else belongs to the states and the people. If federal actors stayed within those limits, the budget would contract dramatically—no new text required.We go deep on the balanced budget amendment pitch and why it misunderstands incentives. If leaders ignore the document they swore to support, adding another line won't cultivate virtue or restraint. Using a clear contract analogy, Joe explains the founders' design: the states are the principals, the federal government is the agent, and acts beyond enumerated powers are void in principle and should be refused in practice. That refusal is not rebellion; it is the remedy in Federalist 46, where states decline to cooperate with unconstitutional programs, starving them of the local machinery they need to function.You'll hear sharp examples of federal overreach—sprawling agencies, expansive taxation, and costly global commitments—with a sober reminder that even well-intended amendments can backfire. The cautionary lessons of the 16th and 17th Amendments loom large, and the risk of a runaway convention is real once the door is opened. Instead of rolling the dice on a rewrite, we make the case for an attainable plan: educate state legislators on their oath, assert reserved powers, and reestablish constitutional boundaries. That's how to make America states again—and how to restore fiscal sanity without gambling the founding charter.If this conversation challenged your assumptions or gave you a new playbook, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about constitutional limits, and leave a review with the one action you'll take in your state.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

As we celebrate the Centennial of the birth of Murray Rothbard, we look at his commentary on the American Revolution, where it promoted liberty and where the creation of the Constitution became liberty's roadblock.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/rothbard-and-american-revolution

This Day in Legal History: FDR Declares Bank HolidayOn March 6, 1933, just two days after taking office, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared a nationwide bank holiday in response to the escalating financial panic of the Great Depression. At the time, banks across the country were collapsing as frightened depositors rushed to withdraw their savings. The closures threatened to completely destabilize the American financial system. Roosevelt used emergency executive authority to temporarily shut down the nation's banks in order to stop the flood of withdrawals. The pause allowed federal officials to inspect financial institutions and determine which were stable enough to reopen.Although the order began as an executive action, Congress quickly moved to support the president's efforts. On March 9, lawmakers passed the Emergency Banking Act, which retroactively approved Roosevelt's bank holiday and expanded federal oversight of banks. The law allowed only financially sound banks to resume operations and provided additional confidence to depositors. In the days that followed, many banks reopened under stricter supervision, and public trust gradually returned to the banking system. Roosevelt reinforced this confidence through his first “fireside chat,” explaining the reforms directly to the American public.Legal challenges later tested the government's authority to take such sweeping action during a crisis. Courts ultimately upheld many emergency financial measures adopted during the early New Deal period. These rulings helped establish the principle that the federal government has broader power to respond to national economic emergencies. The bank holiday of March 6, 1933, therefore became an important early example of how executive initiative and congressional support can combine to address a national crisis.An insurer has filed a lawsuit accusing OpenAI of engaging in the unauthorized practice of law after its AI chatbot allegedly provided faulty legal assistance to a disability benefits recipient. According to the complaint, Nippon Life Insurance Co. of America had settled a long-term disability dispute with Graciela Dela Torre in January 2024. About a year later, she questioned the agreement and asked her attorney about reopening the case due to alleged documentation problems. When her lawyer explained that the settlement was final, Dela Torre consulted ChatGPT, asking whether her attorney had dismissed her concerns.The insurer claims the chatbot suggested that her attorney had invalidated her feelings and deflected responsibility. After receiving that response, Dela Torre fired her lawyer and attempted to reopen the case on her own. The lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT generated legal arguments asserting that her former counsel had pressured her into signing a blank signature page. She filed a motion based on those arguments, which Nippon says violated the settlement agreement releasing the company from future claims.According to the complaint, Dela Torre then submitted numerous additional filings drafted with the chatbot's help, including more than twenty motions and other court documents. The court rejected her attempt to reopen the case and upheld the settlement as valid. Despite that ruling, she allegedly used ChatGPT again to prepare a new lawsuit asserting claims such as fraudulent misrepresentation and interference with disability benefits. Nippon says she has filed dozens of motions that serve no legitimate legal purpose, forcing the company to spend significant time responding. The insurer is now seeking damages and an injunction preventing OpenAI from providing legal assistance to Dela Torre, while OpenAI has dismissed the claims as meritless.OpenAI Practices Law Without A License, Insurer Alleges - Law360A coalition of 24 states has filed a lawsuit challenging new global tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The case was brought in the U.S. Court of International Trade and seeks to block tariffs introduced on February 20 under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The states argue the administration rushed to impose the tariffs only hours after the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated an earlier set of trade measures that had been issued under a different statute. According to the complaint, the new tariffs were an attempt to revive similar trade restrictions using a separate legal authority.The policy first imposed a 10% tariff on imports worldwide and was raised to the statute's maximum 15% the following day. The administration justified the move by claiming it was necessary to address serious U.S. balance-of-payments deficits. However, the states argue that such deficits do not actually exist and that the government selectively relied on negative data while ignoring overall positive financial inflows. They claim this misuse of the statute mirrors the earlier tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down.The lawsuit also argues that the tariffs violate the Constitution because the authority to impose taxes and duties belongs to Congress. The Supreme Court recently emphasized this principle when it ruled against the administration's earlier tariff policy. According to the states, Section 122 was originally enacted to address problems tied to an outdated international currency system that no longer exists today. Because the statutory conditions cannot be met, the coalition argues the president's tariffs are unlawful. The states are asking the court to invalidate the measures before they remain in effect through the summer.Two Dozen States Sue Trump to Halt New Global Tariffs - Law360Twenty-four US states file lawsuit to stop Trump's latest global tariffs | ReutersA federal trade judge is meeting privately with government lawyers to determine how the United States will refund billions of dollars in tariffs that courts recently ruled unconstitutional. Judge Richard Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade scheduled the closed-door meeting as a settlement conference to discuss a practical process for returning money to importers. The tariffs at issue were a major part of President Donald Trump's trade policy but were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in February for exceeding presidential authority. Because the Court did not provide guidance on how refunds should be handled, lower courts are now working to establish a workable procedure.The scale of the refunds could be enormous, potentially reaching $175 billion and affecting more than 300,000 importers. Government attorneys have warned that processing the reimbursements will be unusually complex because it may involve manual review of tens of millions of tariff payments. Many of the affected importers are small businesses concerned about the cost and administrative burden of seeking repayment. Judge Eaton has indicated that he wants a system that avoids forcing companies to file individual lawsuits.The issue arose in a case filed by Atmus Filtration Inc., which claims it paid $11 million in unlawful tariffs. Eaton recently ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to begin using its internal processes to refund tariffs not only to Atmus but potentially to all affected importers. The upcoming conference is expected to focus on how the agency can efficiently review roughly 79 million shipments and distribute refunds. Attorneys involved in related cases believe the meeting could lead to a standardized process that allows most businesses to receive reimbursements without extended litigation.Exclusive: US judge to meet parties on Trump-tariff refunds in closed-door ‘settlement conference' | ReutersA federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump has the authority to suspend refugee admissions to the United States, reversing most of a lower court decision that had blocked the policy. The ruling came from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The judges concluded that federal law gives the president broad power to restrict the entry of foreign nationals when he believes it serves national interests. As a result, the panel allowed Trump's halt of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program to remain in place.The policy was introduced shortly after Trump took office in 2025 and paused the admission of refugees while the administration reviewed whether the program ensured proper assimilation. Refugees, their family members, and several resettlement organizations filed a class action lawsuit challenging the move. A federal judge in Seattle had previously issued injunctions blocking the suspension and related actions. However, the Ninth Circuit determined that most of those rulings exceeded the district court's authority.Writing for the panel, Judge Jay Bybee acknowledged that the decision could have serious real-world consequences for thousands of refugees who had already completed years of vetting and were awaiting resettlement. Despite those concerns, the court emphasized that Congress granted the president sweeping authority over immigration entry decisions. The judges said policy judgments about refugee admissions belong to the executive branch rather than the courts.The panel did leave some portions of the lower court's order in place. It upheld injunctions that prevent the government from cutting services to refugees who have already been admitted to the United States and from terminating certain agreements with refugee support organizations. One judge dissented in part, arguing that the district court's injunctions should have been entirely overturned.Trump can suspend refugee admissions, US appeals court rules | Reuters This is a public episode.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 5, 2026. We dive into the Supreme Court's decision not to take up the DABUS AI copyright case, leaving lower rulings in place: AI-generated art can't get copyright protection because U.S. law requires human authorship and creativity. The Constitution talks about securing rights to "authors and inventors"—not machines. We chat about why this matters—keeping AI outputs in the public domain could speed up innovation (imagine free AI inventions in engineering or medicine), while still letting humans claim copyright when they direct the process with prompts, edits, and choices. It feels like a win for real human art and avoids wild "machines owning rights" scenarios. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on Bill Clinton's Epstein testimony—his smiles while looking at old photos, the awkward moments with his lawyers trying to rein him in, and whether he was spinning or just reminiscing about his "glory days." They reflect on the double standard, how he seemed weaker and more performative, and why some see it as charming while others see red flags. We also cover Kristi Noem's removal from DHS and her new role as special envoy for the "Shield of the Americas" security coalition, plus a 12,600-gallon oil spill at the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port that was quickly contained.

Leur travail, indispensable au quotidien, reste pourtant rarement mis en avant.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, there's an enemy within the United States - Congressional Democrats, Marxists, Islamists, and figures like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, and others. They are undermining a spectacular, ongoing military peace mission, Operation Epic Fury, against an Islamist Nazi regime in Iran. The operation has achieved rapid success in just five days, including the death of Khomeini, destruction of Iran's leadership, air force, and navy, and the elimination of a key figure who plotted an assassination attempt against President Trump. Also, the truth about war powers - no president, of either party, has accepted the constitutionality of the 1973 War Powers Act.  The Supreme Court has never ruled on the Act's constitutionality and likely never will.  The first draft of the Constitution provided that Congress would have the power to make war. The delegates at the Constitutional Convention rejected that language and changed it to declare war. To declare war does not result in making war. The only power Congress has to prevent a military operation is the power of the purse.  Other than the vice president, the president is the only federal official elected by the entirety of the people.  In addition to the institutional impossibility of war powers and decisions in the hands of a multi-member body like Congress, the president is the only official who was elected to, among other things, serve as commander-in-chief. Later, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations calls in and describes the ongoing operation against Iran as progressing positively, with Israel and the US achieving near-complete air superiority over Iranian skies, enabling them to neutralize threats effectively.  Iran's regional attacks and desperation have backfired, uniting moderate Arab countries in strong opposition to Iran, as seen in recent Security Council sessions.  Afterward, after Pearl Harbor, the isolationist movement quickly dissolved, with figures like Charles Lindbergh shifting to support the war effort. In contrast, today's group of Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and their ilk, refuse to unite behind Trump, the military during the ongoing military campaign. They act like propagandists for the enemy, providing aid and comfort. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What does it take for a leader to be so disastrous that their own party calls for their resignation on live television? In this explosive episode of Life Points with Ronda, we dissect the complete and utter humiliation of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during her 5-hour Senate hearing—a political trainwreck that exposed a stunning lack of character, competence, and compassion.   We go far beyond the headlines and into the jaw-dropping moments that reveal who this person truly is. From the chilling story of how she shot her 14-month-old puppy, Cricket, in a gravel pit, to her refusal to apologize for calling two dead American citizens “domestic terrorists.” We expose the shocking cronyism behind a $220 million ad campaign and the hypocrisy of using a $70 million luxury jet with a private bedroom while 100,000 DHS employees worked without pay.   This is not just a political critique; it is an investigation into the anatomy of a failed leader. We break down the key moments, the damning quotes, and the bipartisan horror that unfolded as one of America's most powerful officials demonstrated a breathtaking ignorance of the law and a chilling disregard for human life.   In this episode, we dissect: •The Republican Takedown: The moment a GOP Senator called for her resignation, live on air. •The Gravel Pit: The story of Cricket the puppy and what it reveals about her character. •The Minneapolis Killings: The two dead Americans she slandered and has never apologized for. •The Luxury Jet & The Crony Contracts: The shocking waste and corruption on her watch. •The Habeas Corpus Gaffe: The moment she proved she does not understand the U.S. Constitution.   •The ICE Threat: Her refusal to rule out using ICE agents at polling places.   TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains frank discussions of animal cruelty, human casualties, and intense political gaslighting that may be deeply disturbing to some listeners. Please take care of your mental and emotional health first. If you are ready to see what happens when character fails on the national stage, this episode is a must-listen.

UNBIASED University is in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she's breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more. In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we continue the UNBIASED University series by examining the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These amendments focus on the rights of individuals within the legal system and the balance of power between the federal government, the states, and the people. What protections exist in civil trials, what limits does the Constitution place on punishments, and how does the Constitution address rights that are not specifically listed? We break down the right to a jury trial in certain civil cases, the prohibition against excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishment, the recognition that unenumerated rights may still exist, and the principle that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people. This episode provides a clear, nonpartisan overview of how these often less-discussed amendments continue to shape constitutional law and federalism today.

The first step to understanding a political situation is to ask and answer the question: is it right morally and legally?

A federal judge in the Southern District of West Virginia issued a ruling that should be making national headlines but isn't. Hawk walks through the full 34-page opinion by U.S. District Judge Joseph Godwin, who found that ICE agents wearing masks, operating from unmarked vehicles with no license plates, and making warrantless civil arrests violate the Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The case centers on Anderson Jesus Urquilla Ramos, a 21-year-old Salvadoran national with a valid driver's license, lawful work authorization, and a pending asylum application, who was pulled over in West Virginia on a pretext stop. Masked federal agents in an unmarked vehicle with no license plate detained him without a warrant, without identifying themselves, and without legal justification. Judge Godwin's opinion traces the Fourth Amendment back to its founding-era roots, the colonial outrage over British general warrants and writs of assistance, and applies that history directly to modern ICE enforcement tactics. The ruling draws on James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Justice Brandeis, and citations ranging from Marbury v. Madison to Katz v. United States. The opinion concludes that a law enforcement practice whose only operational effect is the elimination of accountability is not a safety measure. It is a constitutional deficiency. Hawk also highlights the Fifth Amendment due process violations and the habeas corpus petition that brought the case before the court. This is Fourth Amendment education at its finest, delivered through one of the most clearly reasoned federal opinions in recent memory.

The U.S. House is expected to vote Thursday on a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Senate Democrats have held up funding to push for restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol. One of the changes they want to see is a ban on federal agents entering homes without a warrant signed by a judge. A leaked Department of Homeland Security memo from 2025 told agents they can force entry with only what's called an administrative warrant. Legal experts have said that guidance is illegal in that it violates the U.S. Constitution.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff calls in to break down his stunning negotiations with the Iranian regime before President Trump made his decision to attack. These meetings were to explore whether a verifiable, enforceable nuclear deal was possible under Trump.  From the outset, the Iranians asserted that uranium enrichment was Iran's inalienable right and declared their large stockpile of enriched material—approximately 22,000 pounds—was off the table for negotiation. This could yield about 11 nuclear bombs if further enriched. Witkoff and Jared Kushner quickly became skeptical of Iran's willingness to make acceptable concessions. These meetings convinced Witkoff and Kushner that Iran had no genuine interest in a civilian nuclear program. Instead, Iran sought to disguise an ongoing research and development effort to maintain enrichment flexibility and breakout capability.  Rejecting the no-enrichment deal revealed their true motivations were not civilian but weapons-oriented, allowing rapid production of enough material for dozens of bombs if unchecked. Witkoff reported these deceptions and unassailable facts to President Trump, who then made a tough, consequential decision in response. Later, our Framers of the Constitution were so brilliant and prescient.  What you see, right now, occurring in Congress, is precisely why the delegates at the Constitutional Convention did not confer war powers on Congress. In fact, the delegates specifically changed the original draft of the Constitution from Congress having the power to make war to the power to declare war. That is, Congress was granted the authority to declare its support for war, not declare war as a condition of making war or going to war.  And it is precisely why declarations of war have never been determinative in whether war is made or not -- since the beginning of our Republic.  It is also why Congress cannot force the commander-in-chief to go to war by the act of declaring war.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump just launched an unconstitutional war with Iran without Congressional approval—and Peter breaks down the real reasons behind it, from economic distraction to the military-industrial complex profits, plus why this could trigger massive inflation and destroy your purchasing power.This episode is sponsored by Odoo. Sign up for free at https://www.odoo.com/r/iznkPeter Schiff strongly condemns Trump's declaration of war against Iran as unconstitutional, arguing that only Congress has the power to declare war under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Schiff believes Trump violated his oath of office and campaign promises to end wars, not start them. He suspects the real catalyst was Israel informing Trump of their planned attack on Iran, forcing America's hand to join preemptively rather than wait for Iranian retaliation. Schiff questions Trump's claim that he had intelligence suggesting Iran would attack first, calling it implausible and likely fabricated to justify the unconstitutional military action.Despite opposing the war on constitutional and strategic grounds, Schiff sees it as bullish for gold and silver due to its inflationary impact, as wars are typically funded through money printing rather than tax increases. He views recent pullbacks in precious metals and mining stocks as buying opportunities, noting that gold held above $5,000 despite heavy selling. Schiff warns that this war will worsen an already deteriorating economy through higher oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and increased government spending, while potentially serving as a convenient distraction from Trump's failing economic agenda and recent controversies like the Epstein files.Chapters:00:55 War With Iran Begins03:41 Constitutional War Powers08:48 War Powers Act Explained12:00 From Strike To Regime Change14:00 No Surprise Argument15:57 Regime Change Risks21:03 Iraq WMD Lies23:08 Israel Rubio Timeline25:45 Trump Preemptive Claim29:07 Demand The Intelligence29:25 War Justification Doubts31:02 Broken Promises Fallout32:32 Regime Change Quagmire33:30 Distraction and Scapegoats35:51 Wag the Dog Headlines37:31 Rally Round the Flag40:23 War Hits Economy and Oil43:22 Markets Shrug Then React47:36 Gold Selloff Explained49:28 Wars Paid by Inflation53:19 Buy the Dip Strategy55:31 Wrap Up and Next UpdateFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/newsFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/books#Finance #GeopoliticalCrisis #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/GOLD* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

When Americans think about the Founding era, they tend to picture consensus: a roomful of exceptional men who agreed that a new constitutional order was necessary and set about building one. The reality was far messier and more instructive. The Constitution that emerged from Philadelphia in 1787 faced fierce, principled opposition from a group of […]

Sid is joined by Alan Dershowitz to discuss the escalating conflict with Iran and why he believes the United States and Israel were right to strike the regime's military leadership. Dershowitz argues the operation was justified under the Constitution, explains why President Donald Trump had the authority to act, and criticizes Democrats and groups like J Street for opposing the mission. The conversation also addresses the threat posed by Iran's drones and missiles, the importance of the U.S.–Israel alliance, and why Dershowitz believes a decisive victory over the Iranian regime would make the world safer.

Gerald Celente and Judge Andrew Napolitano discuss the Iran War and how the Constitution has utterly failed as an instrument to refrain government.

Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists famously described the First Amendment as building a "wall of separation between church and State." This line has been the gold standard for those who point to the secular origins of America and the threat of funding any sort of religious activity. But this idea of America as a secular republic built on Enlightenment ideals misses a critical truth: Christianity has been at the center of American public life since European colonization began 500 years ago. The Constitution didn't create a wall between church and state—it inadvertently created a "free market" for religion that allowed Christian activists to expand their influence in unexpected ways. Today's guest is Matthew Avery Sutton, author of Chosen Land: How Christianity Made America and Americans Remade Christianity. We see the different versions of Christianity imported during European colonization and how the absence of state control unleashed wildly eccentric religious movements that couldn't have happened in Europe. From revivalist preachers like Jonathan Edwards and Peter Cartwright to Billy Graham, and from liberal Congregationalists to twentieth-century mainline denominations, American Christianity constantly evolved. We see this in the story of Abraham Lincoln, whose skepticism toward traditional Christianity in his twenties nearly derailed his political career. In his 1846 race against Methodist circuit rider Peter Cartwright, Lincoln faced accusations of being an infidel after openly rejecting his family's Christian faith. This episode reveals how, contrary to popular belief, America's founding generation allowed religious liberty not out of principle, but pragmatism—they needed to keep a fractious coalition together. To understand what makes America unique, we must account for how Christianity shaped—and was shaped by—every major historical development in U.S. history. From tent revivals to megachurches, from abolition to segregation, Christianity's "free-market" evolution in America created something unlike anywhere else in the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does conservatism mean in an age of populism, executive power, and institutional distrust? Yuval Levin is a political theorist, the director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and the author of American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again. Today he argues that the deepest divide in American politics is no longer left versus right, but populism versus institutions. Levin traces the shift within the conservative movement from an emphasis on morality and constitutional limits to a more confrontational style of politics, and he explains why durable reform requires coalition building, legislation, and respect for procedure. He reflects on his time in the Bush administration, the limits of presidential governance, the fight over universities, the coming politics of AI, and why the Constitution was designed to hold a divided nation together.
