Podcasts about Contempt

Mea Culpa welcomes the fantastic Elie Mystal, the Nation's Justice Correspondent and the host of its legal podcast “Contempt of Court. In addition to being a frequent guest on MSNBC, Mystal is also an Alfred Knobler Fellow at the Type Media Center. His first book is “The New York Times bestseller “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution.” Mystal is also an attorney and is considered one of the foremost experts on the Supreme Court. But he's also funny as hell and can be seen trolling the GOP daily on the platform formerly known as Twitter. He joins us today as the House of Representatives descends into chaos and the GOP searches for another sucker to take the speaker's gavel.

In breaking news, the Trump Administration, its DOJ and its Homeland Security Department have moved one step closer to the possibility of being found in Criminal Contempt and someone going to jail, as the US Court of Appeals/DC has agreed to the urging of 174 Former Judges, and have tossed a prior opinion by a Trump dominated panel to block the trial judge's criminal contempt proceedings and investigation, and will hear the case by all 11 judges of the Court instead. Popok explains how this case started and the implications of the En Banc ruling up to the US Supreme Court. Americans United will keep fighting for freedom without favor - equality without exception.

Last month, a prosecution of six protesters in Chicago, known as the Broadview six, fell apart due to some horrific misconduct by Trump's Department of Justice. Indeed, the DOJ was forced to dismiss the cases when their misconduct was revealed to the judge.Now, those six defendants have filed a motion with the court, asking the judge to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and - if the evidence is there - to prosecute Donald Trump's dirty DOJ officials and lawyers who engaged in the misconduct. Glenn breaks down and explains this important new legal development.

Leaning into relationships is the process of choosing the relationship over everything else, including our fears and insecurities. It can feel super scary because it requires vulnerability and openness, and this can mean that we may need to courage up and step into discomfort. Because when things in a relationship get tough, it can be super easy to lean out to protect our point of view, our struggling sense of self, and our ego. But leaning out increases the distance and drives disconnect. If we want meaningful, connected, and intimate relationships, we have to have the courage to lean in.

So anger and contempt is a poison we willingly drink way too often. Here it is: What is the antidote?' It's an idea we talk about here a lot: “Grace.” And, when it comes to anger and contempt, grace looks like “magnanimity” and “forgiveness.”

The bipartisan support for a contempt vote against the Clintons was not a sudden outbreak of moral clarity in Washington, but a calculated strategic move. Democrats understand that precedent is everything, and by allowing scrutiny of figures within their own party, they are laying the groundwork to pursue Donald Trump once he is out of office. Sacrificing the old guard sends a message that no one is untouchable, which strengthens the argument for future investigations into Trump on issues including Jeffrey Epstein. This is less about loyalty and more about long-term positioning. By demonstrating a willingness to hold their own accountable, Democrats insulate themselves from accusations of hypocrisy when they eventually turn their focus toward Trump.At the same time, Epstein survivors risk once again being sidelined in a broader political chess match. While Democrats frame their actions as a pursuit of justice, the deeper motivation appears tied to strategic leverage rather than survivor-centered accountability. Republicans gain spectacle, Democrats gain precedent, and both parties maneuver for advantage. Meanwhile, the people most harmed by Epstein's crimes are invoked rhetorically but remain secondary to partisan objectives. The result is a familiar pattern: power politics driving the narrative, while true systemic accountability remains elusive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What if you could name the thing tearing America apart?  Benedict Beckeld joined us to  trace a pattern that has played out in every great civilization in history: ancient Greece, Rome, Enlightenment France, Britain, and now America. The more successful a society becomes, the more its own people turn against it. Wealth, safety, and open intellectual space create the exact conditions for a culture to start eating itself alive. Benedict is a writer and philosopher whose work spans contemporary culture, political philosophy, and the philosophy of history. He holds a master's in ancient Greek, Latin, and German, and a PhD in philosophy. His book Western Self-Contempt: Oikophobia and the Decline of Civilizations is the only full-length study of the subject, and the work that brought the term into mainstream conversation. We get into all of it: why universities are ground zero, why intellectuals are the most susceptible, what October 7th has to do with it, whether religion is the antidote, and the uncomfortable historical truth about whether oikophobia has ever actually been reversed. The good news, America is different.  The bad news, the odd are not good. Uderstanding what we're up against is the first step to fighting back.  https://www.benedictbeckeld.com/ Key Quotes "The fact that we until recently only had a word for hating foreigners is itself a sign of oikophobia — it means it's only the hatred of the foreign that we consider worthy of condemning." — Benedict Beckeld "There is nothing so human as taking a good idea too far. We take the potential positive of self-criticism and it becomes a competition about who can be the most self-hating." — Benedict Beckeld "Historically, it has never been reversed. Which is not to say we shouldn't try — and I mean this, because America is unique." — Benedict Beckeld "Imagine if you were sick and didn't know what was going on — you'd be panicked. But if a doctor gave you a diagnosis, you'd say: okay, I know what this is, this is how I treat it. Before this, we were very sick and had no word for it. Now we do." — Polina Rubin "There is a spirit of freedom in America that is unmatched in the world. You say an idea in Europe and people say, are you sure that's wise? You say the same thing here and people say, that's amazing, what can I do to help?" — Benedict Beckeld More Podcasts on Culture: Alll the News that's Fit to Spin with Ashley Rindsberg From Foster Care to Yale with Rob Henderson From America is Evil to American Exceptionalism with Lucy Biggers Why so Many Gen Z's Cant Take a Joke or a Different Opinion   Follow @thecuriousmiddlepod Contact us: thecuriousmiddlepod@gmail.com

Send us Fan MailI used to have ABSOLUTELY ZERO empathy for the MAGA movement. As a gay man living in a deep-red Southern state and a survivor of a brutal hate crime, my anger wasn't just justified—it was a survival mechanism. But recently, everything shifted.In this raw, unfiltered mini-episode of Surviving Politics-ish, I'm stepping back from the terrifying realities of #Project2025 to look at how we actually fight back. For years, my voice was fueled by pure contempt for anyone wearing a red hat. Then, two incredible podcasts completely rewired my approach, and we need to talk about them.First, IHIP News (from the brilliant minds behind the I've Had It podcast) validated my rage. They reminded me why we have to "go for the jugular" when it comes to the architects of this movement. But the real game-changer was A Necessary Conversation. Watching liberal siblings debate their MAGA parents—and seeing real signs of breakthrough after a family healthcare crisis—exposed the deep, psychological dynamics of cult indoctrination.Can you hold two truths at once? Can you demand ruthless accountability for political leaders while maintaining empathy-with-boundaries for the voters caught in the crossfire?Listen in as we break down why exposing policies with facts matters now more than ever, and why you need to add #IveHadIt and #ANecessaryConversation to your playlist immediately.Listen, subscribe, and join the conversation.#Project2025 #IveHadIt #ANecessaryConversation #IHIPNews #SurvivingPoliticsIsh #TrueStories #PoliticalPsychology #EmpathyWithBoundaries #Accountability #PodcastRecommendations #LGBTQVoicesSupport the show

Contempt of Court in Deutschland – Reformbedarf oder Überreaktion? Dysfunktionale Strafverteidigung steht auf der Agenda der StPO-Reformkommission des BMJV. Aber wie groß ist das Problem wirklich? Dr. Mathias Grzesiek spricht mit Prof. Matthias Jahn, der zuletzt auf dem 47. Strafverteidigertag in Köln zu diesem Thema referiert und in der Juniausgabe der StV publiziert hat, über die Unterschiede zwischen dysfunktionaler Verteidigung, Konfliktverteidigung und Prozesssabotage und warum diese Differenzierung für die Reformdebatte entscheidend ist. Prof. Jahn ordnet insbesondere einen der zentralen Vorschläge der Reformkommission ein: die geplante Contempt of Court-Regelung als neuer § 177a GVG mit Ordnungsgeldern bis 3.500 Euro. Dabei beleuchtet er die mit diesem Vorschlag verfolgten Ziele und setzt sich mit den wesentlichen Einwänden auseinander. Außerdem richtet sich der Blick auf die USA, wo eine solche Regelung zum Alltag gehört, und darauf, wo ein Vergleich mit dem deutschen Recht an seine Grenzen stößt. Prof. Jahn veranschaulicht den Status quo in Deutschland anhand des prominenten Beispiels der Rechtsanwältin S. im Zündel-Verfahren vor dem LG Mannheim. Schließlich bewertet er vor dem Hintergrund des erwarteten Abschlussberichts der Kommission im November 2026, welche der diskutierten Vorschläge realistisch in ein Reformgesetz einfließen könnten.

Tune in for an inspiring discussion on bridging differences and reimagining how we engage with one another.

Mea Culpa welcomes podcaster, radio host, and columnist Joe Walsh. Walsh was elected to the House of Representatives in 2011 from Illinois's 8th District. He also ran for president and then blew up his life when he spoke out against the MAGA cult and gave Trump the bird. To quote Joe, Republicans “have become fully radicalized and anti-democracy.” Joe's podcast, “White Flag” strives to find a path to unite, not divide us politically, but he pulls no punches in his latest book, “F*ck Silence: Calling Trump Out for the Cultish, Moronic, Authoritarian Con Man He Is.” He has of late, railed against the GOP establishment, who voted for Trump in 2020 and believe the rest of us simply forgot their actions. He is also deeply worried about the future of the GOP and the idea that there is no longer space for a sane, anti-Trump candidate who supports small government and fiscal conservatism. What happens next is anyone's guess. 

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 8th session on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. Deception by Omission: A serious exploration of prisons and Racism must account for the systemic forces that built them. This book's failure to center COINTELPRO, the torture legacy of Chicago's Jon Burge, or the raw profitability of caging Black men suggests Alexander is guilty of a whole lot of lying. Last week's review included: 1. The "Basically" Deception & The Audio Patch: Alexander claims the 10th Anniversary edition is "basically" the same book. Yet, each week listeners stumble into brand-new pages of text offering substantially alternate information from what Alexander previously scrawled. 2. Undermining Her Own Thesis: While most edits involve new content, last week revealed a rare deletion from the 10th-anniversary edition. The original version notes “racial bias in a system that purports to be colorblind.” The term purport suggests White people are not vision-restricted, but rather, willfully focused on caging infinite numbers of Black men. Removing this sentence suggests Alexander is aware of the lies she's peddling. 3. Sleeping With The Prosecutor: Alexander details the life-altering power and discretion prosecuting attorneys wield over non-white defendants. Because of this, listeners questioned why the author failed to disclose her husband Carter Stewart's extensive prosecutorial conduct, and how his career affirms the very system she critiques. #COINTELPRO #TheRedboneDeception #BillCosby #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Law and Chaos wishes a big mazal tov to Kristi Noem on her new, very real job as assistant principal of the Yeehaw American Hegemony Club. And to Lindsey Halligan on catching a Florida Bar investigation.   We'll discuss our recent post on Pam Bondi's very timely announcement that she intends to take over state bar complaints against DOJ employees. It comes at a moment when district court judges are telegraphing very clearly that they are going to start holding DHS and DOJ in criminal contempt for rampant disregard of court orders. Specifically, Judge Michael Farbiarz of the District of New Jersey says he'll require sworn affidavits from officials at the US Attorneys Office and ICE for every habeas release case that comes before him. This will likely serve as a model for other judges whose dockets are buckling under the weight of habeas cases from all the immigrants ICE is illegally detaining.   Elections expert Joe Dye is back to discuss Tuesday's primary elections in Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina.   And for subscribers, we'll discuss the shadow docket order in which the six conservative justices leapt in to save New York Rep.

Contempt Prior To Investigation One of the quickest ways to stop growing is to decide we already know the answer before we've taken the time to understand the question. "Contempt prior to investigation" is often called the greatest obstacle to human progress. In recovery, it shows up when we dismiss an idea, a person, a meeting, a sponsor, a step, or a spiritual concept before we've honestly examined it. We reject it not because we've investigated it, but because we've already decided what we think. Many of us came into recovery with strong opinions. We knew what wouldn't work. We knew who couldn't help us. We knew what was wrong with AA, treatment, sponsors, God, meetings, and everybody else. The problem was that our best thinking had already brought us to a place where we desperately needed help. Today on The Daily Trudge, we're talking about the danger of contempt prior to investigation. How many opportunities have we missed because we dismissed them too quickly? How often does pride keep us from learning something new? And what happens when we become willing to investigate before we judge? Recovery often begins with a simple admission: "Maybe I don't know everything." Because growth doesn't come from defending what we already believe. Growth comes from being willing to discover what we don't know. #TheDailyTrudge #Recovery #ContemptPriorToInvestigation #OpenMindedness #AA #Sobriety #PersonalGrowth #RecoveryCommunity #TheDailyTrudge

Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.You always have too much to say. Too much to defend. Too much to justify. Too much to correct.

In Ep444 of The 'NEW' Marriage, Cass and Kathryn break down the art of silence as strength — what it actually means, why it's not erasure, and how it becomes the most powerful thing you can do in a marriage that feels out of control.

From May 27, 2025: John Keller, now a partner at Walden, Macht, Haran, & Williams, channeled his experience as the former Chief of the Public Integrity Section at the Department of Justice to discuss three recent developments with James Pearce, Lawfare Legal Fellow. They discussed proposed changes to the Public Integrity Section that could hamper the Justice Department's ability to investigate and prosecute corruption matters in a fair and impartial matter.Keller weighed in on whether the Justice Department has a viable prosecution theory for criminal threats or incitement in the case of former FBI Director, Jim Comey. And they discussed criminal contempt: what it is, how it differs from civil contempt, the recent criminal contempt probable-cause finding by Judge Boasberg in an Alien Enemies Act case in the District of Columbia, and whether the federal rule permitting appointment of a special prosecutor outside the Justice Department may pose constitutional separation-of-powers concerns.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

What happens when shame takes root in a story? And how does contempt become one of the ways we learn to survive it? Dr. Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen explore the complicated relationship between shame and contempt, and why understanding these dynamics matters so deeply for healing and human connection. Shame can leave us feeling exposed, powerless, defective, or alone. And contempt often emerges as a strategy of protection: through self-criticism, defensiveness, withdrawal, rage, sarcasm, superiority, or humiliation. You'll hear reflections on: why contempt often forms in response to pain and powerlessness what trauma responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn look like in moments of shame how to remain grounded in dignity and belovedness when faced with contempt This conversation invites us into deeper curiosity, compassion, and discernment — especially in a cultural moment increasingly marked by outrage, dehumanization, and contempt. If you'd like to explore these themes more deeply, we invite you to join Rachael Clinton Chen for the upcoming live training, The Art of Story Engagement, on June 13. Together, you'll explore more deeply how contempt shapes our stories — and how learning to recognize these dynamics in ourselves and others can open the door to greater wisdom, healing, and care.

Greetings saints of the Most High. In this installment of the Messianic Torah Observer, I offer a needed clarification regarding Israel, the Jewish people, and the broader discussion from this teaching series, "What the Torah Can and Cannot Do for Us." In this episode, I examine what Scripture says about Yah's everlasting covenant with Israel, Paul's teaching that God has not rejected His people, and the reality that we as non-Jewish believers are grafted into the commonwealth of Israel rather than replacing it. I also address the misuse of passages such as "neither Jew nor Greek" and explain why Torah can never be used as a justification for contempt, condemnation, or arrogance toward our Jewish cousins.   If you have ever wrestled with the relationship between Torah, covenant, Israel, grace, and the calling of Gentile believers in Messiah, this teaching will help ground that discussion in the plain witness of Scripture. My prayer is that this message leads us all toward covenant humility, truth, prayer, and love rather than pride or hostility. Key themes in this teaching include: Yah's everlasting covenant with Israel God has not rejected His people Grafted into the commonwealth of Israel The meaning of "neither Jew nor Greek" in context The oracles of God entrusted to Israel Why Torah does not sanction contempt  

Today on The Gist, the race to stop a catastrophic chemical explosion next to Disneyland that forced 50,000 Southern California residents to evacuate. Then, Beth Malow and Doug Teschner discuss their book, Beyond the Politics of Contempt: Practical Steps to Build Positive Relationships in Divided Times, sharing strategies from their work with Braver Angels to foster local, cross-partisan dialogue. Finally, the limits of one-on-one interventions in a polarized mass-media landscape, highlighting why the path out of systemic political contempt relies on free and fair elections rather than curated elite civility.

The differences that drew you to your spouse in dating can become the very things that drive you crazy in marriage — but what if they didn't have to? In this episode, Derek, Gabrielle, and Andrew talk honestly about what it looks like to move from contempt toward genuine celebration of the spouse God gave you.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS- What differences first attracted you to your spouse — and have any of those become sources of frustration over time?- Where do you tend toward contempt rather than celebration when your spouse does things differently than you would?- What's one specific difference in your spouse that you could choose to reframe with gratitude this week?- How do you currently discern, in your marriage, between a difference that's just a preference and one that has crossed into a sinful pattern?- Who in your life — friends, community, mentors — do you trust to speak honestly into your marriage when conflict keeps coming up?- What would it look like practically for you to pray for God's eyes toward your spouse this week?

In this sermon from Matthew 5:21–26, Pastor Brad digs beneath the surface of one of the most familiar commandments in Scripture — and what he finds is both convicting and hopeful. Jesus isn't just raising the bar on behavior. He's exposing the roots: the anger we've learned to manage, the contempt we've dressed up as discernment, the grudge we've carried so long it feels normal. And then he shows us the remedy — and it's more urgent and more practical than we might expect. In this message you'll discover: Why anger and contempt are on the same road as murder The difference between righteous anger and wounded ego Why broken relationships interrupt worship The crucial difference between forgiveness and reconciliation Why delay is the enemy of reconciliation How the gospel gives us the only motivation powerful enough to move us toward peace Whether you're carrying a broken relationship, an unresolved conflict, or a grudge you've never named out loud — this message is for you.

There's a pattern to Andrew and Mary's focus this week: lies, lies and more lies. They gather in-person to tackle a host of issues and to celebrate the release of Andrew's new book, “Liar's Kingdom.” After digging into the book's thesis, they hone in on the biggest news of the week: the $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” created by the Justice Department as part of a settlement agreement which, according to the Attorney General, would provide a non-partisan “systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.” But as Mary and Andrew note, the real goal is to compensate Trump allies who claim they were wrongfully prosecuted by the former administration. They then shift to the DOJ's lawsuit against the DC Bar to block punishments for Trump officials, including Jeffrey Clark, the former Acting Assistant Attorney General in the final months of Trump's first term. Next, the co-hosts touch on last week's oral arguments in the government's appeal of the ruling against Trump's attempt to blacklist four law firms, before moving to the ongoing litigation in Judge Boasberg's attempt to hold contempt proceedings.   This podcast is also available on YouTube at ms.now/mainjustice.

On Friday, Mandy took the stand in York for a civil contempt hearing that, by any measure, never should have happened — while the co-defendants actually trying to depose Gregg Roman (the nucleus of the Parker conspiracy case) had to beg the judge to even hear their motion. The contrast is staggering. Investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney Eric Bland unpack what really went down in that courtroom: Meredith Bannon's surgical lawyering, Becky Lindahl's compelling missing-affidavit argument, the 6 year harassment campaign, a felon's escalating behavior and the sea of supporters in pink who made the day bearable.  Then they turn to Wednesday's 5-0 Murdaugh murder conviction reversal — Becky Hill as the designated punching bag, Dick and Jim on the Today Show, and the privilege only a Murdaugh gets to enjoy. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Show your support of Eric Bland to the ODC

In the Gospel according to Luke, we're shown how Jesus, the man filled with God's Spirit is the Way. In this fourth section of our series on this Gospel, we see him as the King who reorders our loves, heals our hearts, and sends us into the world as a countercultural people of resurrection hope.

Eric Bland just had what he calls the worst day of his career outside of his father's cancer diagnosis — a brutal session before a commission of the South Carolina's Office of Disciplinary Counsel where one of the state's most decorated legal malpractice attorneys was made to feel like "a menace to the bar."  This week, investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney Eric Bland pull back the curtain on how a federally convicted felon seems to be weaponizing the ODC complaint process to punish the very lawyer who helped take Alex Murdaugh down.  They trace the chilling effect on every truth-teller in the system — from Liz's Baltimore deposition to Mandy's upcoming May 15 hearing at the Moss Justice Center, where we're calling for a packed courtroom of supporters.  Plus: Capital murder defendant Lee Gilly slips from Houston to Milan on a forged Belgian passport while pre-trial services waited out the weekend; court documents show. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References How can you support Mandy? Crowd the Courthouse
