BREAKING: Shocking News Revealed in Kash Patel Hearing.

Unity is acting together even when we don't think alike. And one of the primary aims of the American Constitution is to support a democracy of those unified in diversity. Yuval Levin joins Mark Labberton to explore the precarious state of American constitutional life and the imbalance of power between the branches of the U.S. government. Drawing from his book America's Covenant, Levin argues that the Founders designed the Constitution above all to preserve unity in a divided society. Yet today, he warns, the imbalance of power—particularly the weakness of Congress and the rise of presidential authority—threatens democratic legitimacy. In this conversation, Levin reflects on originalism, the courts, Donald Trump's expanding influence, and the dangers of both passivity and autocracy. With clarity and urgency, he calls for renewed civic engagement and for Congress to reclaim its central role. Episode Highlights “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together. And the question for a modern political society is how do we act together when we don't think alike?” “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” “What we're seeing is constitutional creep, where the president is pushing and nobody's pushing back, and only Congress can do it.” “I worry a lot about Donald Trump. But the reason I worry is because Congress isn't doing its job.” “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” “All of us will find ourselves in the minority sooner or later.” Helpful Links and Resources America's Covenant: The Constitution and the Path to National Unity, by Yuval Levin American Enterprise Institute (Find Yuval Levin's current research and publications) *New York Times Opinion* – Yuval Levin's columns at the New York Times About Yuval Levin Yuval Levin is director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy. He is the founder and editor of National Affairs, senior editor of The New Atlantis, a contributing editor at National Review, and a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times. He is the author of several books on political theory and public policy, most recently American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again (Basic Books, 2024), which examines the U.S. Constitution through the lens of national unity in a divided society. Show Notes Constitutional unity and division Yuval Levin summarizes America's Covenant as a reintroduction to the Constitution framed around the challenge of unity in diversity. “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together.” The Constitution prioritizes bargaining, negotiation, and legitimacy over efficiency. Congress was designed as the “first branch” of government to embody pluralism and force compromise. The decline of Congress and rise of the presidency Levin argues Congress is radically under-active, ceding ground to presidents and courts. “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” Excessive focus on the presidency erodes democratic legitimacy. Current frustrations stem from misunderstanding the system's design: it resists narrow majorities and forces broad coalitions. Courts, originalism, and the unitary executive Levin affirms he is an originalist: “a philosophy of judicial interpretation … a mode of self-restraint for judges.” Supreme Court decisions in recent years repeatedly signal: “Congress, do your job.” He outlines the unitary executive theory: the president controls the executive branch, but not the government as a whole. “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” Trump's expanding power Levin warns of the growing push to centralize authority in the presidency. “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” Trump's second term differs because restraints have vanished; his circle now encourages unrestrained executive action. Disruption of long-held norms has weakened trust in American institutions globally and domestically. Constitutional crisis vs. constitutional creep Levin distinguishes between “creep,” “conflict,” and “crisis.” He argues the U.S. is experiencing constitutional creep: unchecked executive power without Congress pushing back. True crisis would involve direct defiance of the courts—something still possible but not yet realized. The role of citizens and civic responsibility Levin stresses the danger of passivity: “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” Citizens should keep writing to Congress, vote with clear expectations, and engage in local governance. State legislatures, though less visible, often function better than Congress today. Clear thinking itself, Levin suggests, is a moral act for a healthy republic.

The murder of Iryna Zarutska is a testimony of the broken polices of crime forgiveness without accountability. This infection of thinking is not of GOD, but rather rooted in the bowels of guilt and too often the desires to create the climate of crime to justify laws that further the destruction of our Constitutional freedoms. The crime is NOT about race but rather a testimony to the agenda of those that seek to destroy this nation by upending the moral laws our Nation was built on. It is a crime that demands justice and accountability. This is time to pray for peace and wisdom of Holy Spirit.  #BardsFM_Morning #IrynaZarutska #PeaceBeStill Bards Nation Health Store: https://www.bardsnationhealth.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

When Kim Davis spent six days behind bars for refusing to sign same-sex marriage certificates, most people thought the story was over. They were wrong. Nine years later, Davis faces $360,000 in personal damages—and her case is now headed to the Supreme Court with the potential to overturn same-sex marriage entirely. Constitutional attorney Matthew Staver, who will argue before the justices, reveals how a small-town Kentucky clerk's conscience has become the vehicle for what could be the most significant religious liberty victory since the founding. But here's the twist: Even Chief Justice John Roberts saw this coming. In an unprecedented move, he read his Obergefell dissent from the bench—something he's never done before or since—warning that "five lawyers" were imposing their will without constitutional basis. Now, with a transformed Supreme Court and religious freedom wins piling up, Staver explains why 2026 could be the year everything changes. From the legal strategy that's already defeated "terrible decisions" to why Christians can't repeat the post-Roe mistakes, this episode reveals the inside story of the case that has constitutional conservatives hopeful.   Resources: https://lc.org/mat-staver https://lc.org/Kim   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?

Constitutional scholars are examining a fundamental question facing our democracy: are we governed by the rule of law or by the will of a sitting president?

Last Friday, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that President Trump did not have the authority to issue emergency tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), setting up a pivotal Supreme Court battle over the future of the policy tool.Chad Squitieri, professor of law at the Catholic University of America, argues IEEPA's grant to “regulate importation” clearly includes tariffs, while Peter Harrell, nonresident fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, counters that Congress never intended such a blank check. Oren moderates their discussion on how the courts will read the statute and what the ruling will mean for the balance of power between Congress and the White House.Further reading:“The President's Authority to Impose Tariffs” by Chad SquitieriAmicus Brief for Congressional Democrats Opposed to IEEPA Tariffs, co-authored by Peter Harrell“Conflating Taxes With Tariffs: Clear Error in the Federal Circuit's Tariff Opinion” by Chad Squitieri

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Constitutional prescribing stands as the crown jewel of homeopathic practice – the art of understanding not just what symptoms a person has, but who they truly are at their core. This brief yet illuminating episode pulls back the curtain on this profound healing approach that transforms how we view chronic health issues.Melissa explains that your constitution represents your "factory setting" – the genetic blueprint, personality tendencies, and susceptibilities you were born with. The beauty of constitutional prescribing lies in recognizing how life experiences create layers over this core self. Through a compelling example of a child whose calc carb constitution gains a pulsatilla layer after a frightening separation, we see how trauma literally changes our health patterns, food desires, and emotional responses.What makes this episode particularly valuable is its practical application. Parents struggling to understand their child's behavioral shifts, practitioners hitting walls with chronic cases, and anyone experiencing the frustration of remedies that "stop working" will find clarity in the layered approach. The episode offers a tantalizing glimpse into how constitutional prescribing transforms healing from scattered guessing to systematic confidence.Beyond the mechanics of remedy selection, constitutional prescribing touches on deeper dimensions – how trauma leaves layers in our bodies, how our spiritual walk influences our health, and how physical features like hand-to-palm ratios reveal our core constitutional type. This integration of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing sets constitutional prescribing apart as truly holistic medicine.Ready to master this approach yourself? Melissa invites listeners to join the Inner Healing Circle for access to her comprehensive Constitutional Prescribing Masterclass. With visual aids, layer flow diagrams, morphology guides, and case studies, this course equips you to support yourself and loved ones through every health transition. Because true healing isn't about fixing symptoms – it's about supporting the whole person, layer by layer, back to their authentic self.FIND ME!

SHOCKING: Newsom's Counterfeit Version of Trump.

A Trump-appointed Judge, Thomas Cullen, has thrown out the lawsuit Trump had his DOJ officials file against ALL federal trial court judges in Maryland when the Chief Judge instituted a two-day pause on deportations to give the judges enough time to see if the Trump administration was violating the legal or Constitutional rights of undocumented immigrants that were being detained pending deportation. In a 30-page opinion that The New York Times called "scathing," Judge Cullen wrote, "Over the past several months, principal officers of (Trump's) executive (and their spokespersons) have described federal district judges across the country as ‘left-wing,' ‘liberal,' ‘activists,' ‘radical,' ‘politically minded,' ‘rogue,' ‘unhinged,' ‘outrageous', 'overzealous', 'unconstitutional', 'crooked,' and worse. Although some tension between the coordinate branches of government is a hallmark of our constitutional system, this concerted effort by the executive to smear and impugn individual judges who rule against it is both unprecedented and unfortunate."Glenn discusses Judge Cullen's new court ruling and how the federal judiciary - including Trump-appointed judges - are trying to protect we the people from an abusive, corrupt and criminal president of the United States.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
