Podcasts about first amendment

NPR Lawsuit Against the Trump Administration: NPR and Colorado public radio stations filed a lawsuit challenging an executive order by President Trump that defunds NPR and PBS. The hosts criticize the lawsuit, arguing it misuses the First Amendment to justify taxpayer funding for what they describe as biased media. Debate Over Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports: The episode discusses California's policy shift in response to federal pressure, allowing biological girls to retain championship slots even if outperformed by transgender athletes. The hosts frame this as a political victory and a sign of retreat by progressive leadership. James Comey Controversy: Former FBI Director James Comey is accused of posting a cryptic image interpreted as a veiled threat against Donald Trump. The hosts allege Comey’s actions are politically motivated and potentially criminal, referencing federal statutes on threats against the president. Media Bias and Political Polarization: The episode critiques mainstream media outlets, particularly NPR and PBS, for alleged liberal bias. It includes audio clips and commentary on statements made by NPR’s CEO, Catherine Maher, during congressional hearings. Electoral Strategy and Public Opinion: The hosts discuss how issues like transgender participation in sports are resonating with moderate voters, especially women, and influencing campaign strategies.

On Tuesday, NPR and three Colorado public radio stations sued the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment. On this week's On the Media, the soon-to-be lone Democratic commissioner at the FCC speaks out against what she calls the weaponization of her agency. Plus, the final episode of The Divided Dial introduces the unlikely group trying to take over shortwave radio.[01:37] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Anna Gomez, soon to be the lone Democratic commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission, about her makeshift media tour–where Gomez is speaking out about what she sees as the weaponization of her agency. [12:47] Episode 4 of The Divided Dial, Season 2: Wall St. Wants Your Airwaves. In recent years, creative, often music-focused pirate broadcasting has been thriving on shortwave. Reporter Katie Thornton reveals how these surreptitious broadcasters are up against a surprising enemy: not the FCC, but a deep-pocketed group of finance bros that is trying to wrestle the airwaves away from the public, and use them for a money-making scheme completely antithetical to broadcasting. What do we lose when we give up our public airwaves?Further reading:Remarks of FCC Commissioner Anna M.

Lesley Stahl, a linchpin of CBS News, began at the network in 1971, covering major events such as Watergate, and for many years has been a correspondent on “60 Minutes.” But right now it's a perilous time for CBS News, which has been sued by Donald Trump for twenty billion dollars over the editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris during the 2024 Presidential campaign. Its owner, Paramount, seems likely to settle, and corporate pressure on journalists at CBS has been so intense that Bill Owens, the executive producer of “60 Minutes,” and Wendy McMahon, the head of CBS News, resigned in protest. Owens's departure was “a punch in the stomach,” Stahl tells David Remnick in a recent interview, “one of those punches where you almost can't breathe.” And far worse could happen in a settlement with Trump, which would compromise the integrity of the premier investigative program on broadcast news. “I'm already beginning to think about mourning, grieving,” Stahl says. “I know there's going to be a settlement. . . . And then we will hopefully still be around, turning a new page, and finding out what that new page is going to look like.” Although she describes herself as “Pollyannaish,” Stahl acknowledges that she is “pessimistic about the future for all press today. . . . The public has lost faith in us as an institution. So we're in very dark times.”

This is powerfulWhat Does God's Word Say?John 11:47-5247 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, 52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.1 Corinthians 10:6-136 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA's current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what's really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA's lawsuit follows years of NIH's attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates' speech on NIH's public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.

FBI Reopening Investigations Cocaine in the White House: The hosts discuss the discovery of cocaine near the Situation Room during the Biden administration and criticize the lack of accountability. January 6 Pipe Bomber: They express frustration that the individual who planted a pipe bomb near the DNC has not been identified or prosecuted. Supreme Court Leak (Dobbs Decision): The leak of the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is described as a historic breach of trust and institutional integrity. Cruz emphasizes the need to identify and prosecute the leaker. Allegations Against James Comey The former FBI Director is accused of implicitly calling for violence against Donald Trump via a social media post featuring seashells spelling “86 47” (interpreted as slang for “kill Trump”). Comey’s subsequent interviews and explanations are mocked and criticized as disingenuous. NPR Lawsuit Against Trump Administration NPR and affiliated stations are suing over defunding efforts, claiming First Amendment violations. Cruz and Ferguson argue that NPR is biased and should not receive taxpayer funding, framing the lawsuit as an absurd defense of government-funded propaganda.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the First Amendment has been suspended in Seattle as the city allows Antifa militants to accost and assault Christians at will. Also, King Charles delivers a land acknowledgement in Canada. And Secret Service agents are suspended after getting into a fight with each other on the job. If that sounds familiar, it's because the same thing happened last year. And all of the agents involved, in both cases, are women.

Trump's diplomatic efforts for Ukraine are unraveling, and in a striking admission of impotence, he has confessed that he no longer understands Vladimir Putin—despite Putin's actions showing he fully understands Trump. This isn't just the collapse of Trump's central foreign policy promise, but also a rare glimpse into the frustration of a man who almost never concedes he could be wrong.

In a pair of back-to-back segments, the host delivers a bold takedown of what he sees as government overreach, media hypocrisy, and collusion between U.S. elites and foreign powers. The first segment focuses on Donald Trump's push to defund NPR and PBS, raising questions about First Amendment rights, government funding, and political loyalty tests in Congress. The discussion then escalates to explosive claims about a secret censorship program declassified by Tulsi Gabbard, allegedly targeting conservatives and critics of COVID policy. The second segment explores the reemergence of a new COVID strain from China, with implications for U.S.-China trade tensions and renewed media panic. From vaccine safety cover-ups to weaponized viruses and unproven government narratives, this two-part exposé challenges mainstream assumptions and demands answers about who really controls the truth in America.

A Massachusetts student's t-shirt reading “There Are Only Two Genders” ignited a national free speech debate—and the Supreme Court just passed on the case. In this episode, Michael dives into what Justice Alito's fiery dissent reveals, whether schools are suppressing student viewpoints, and why ignoring the controversy might have been the better option. Are public schools upholding the First Amendment—or playing favorites? Be sure to vote on today's daily poll question at Smerconish.com: Does the First Amendment protect a public middle school student's right to wear a t-shirt saying: “There Are Only Two Genders”?

NPR argues with a straight face that removing any taxpayer subsidies is a violation of the First Amendment. Apparently, liberal speech must be forcibly supported by conservative taxpayers for the Constitution to be upheld. Trained lawyer Dan Schneider exposes the nonsense.

Sarah Parshall Perry, Defending Education's vice president. Schools Are Flunking the First Amendment

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold takes aim at the headlines dominating the midweek news cycle, starting with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' move to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. Jon questions the motives behind the legislation, suggesting it may be a calculated appeal to wealthy retirees or a play against the rising tide of Bitcoin. Speaking of Bitcoin, Herold breaks down Trump's latest crypto-friendly moves, including the push to integrate digital assets into 401(k) plans and the financial disruption on display at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Vegas, where GMoney made waves on the Rumble livestream. The auto-pen saga continues as Jon reviews Trump's scathing comments and David Sacks' claim that Elizabeth Warren was behind crypto-related executive orders. He remains skeptical but acknowledges the growing investigation. Updates on Judge Jeanine Pirro's appointment, NPR's First Amendment lawsuit, and race-based USDA loan forgiveness expose deeper structural rot. Herold also hammers Congress for stalling on codifying DOGE spending cuts, questions the true value of current FBI investigations, and highlights Trump's mock offer to make Canada the 51st state. With wit, frustration, and fire, Jon reminds listeners that until election integrity is restored, everything else is political theater.

NPR and three Colorado public radio stations filed suit against the Trump administration in federal court over his executive order targeting funding for NPR, PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

President Trump's genius plan to announce that he's about to violate the First Amendment — and then do it! — runs into the judicial buzzsaw as two federal courts restrain his attacks on Harvard and the law firm Jenner & Block. And his campaign's lawsuit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer continues to be a humiliating series of self-owns. But SCOTUS hands the administration a win by allowing the president to fire anyone and everyone. They exempted Fed Chair Jerome Powell for, uh, reasons.   Links:   Jenner & Block v.

America's Political Prisoner Mahmoud Khalil—Columbia student, green card holder, and husband to a U.S. citizen—has been detained for nearly three months without being charged with a single crime. His “crime”? Leading peaceful pro-Palestinian protests and refusing to cover his face. While his wife Noor Abdallah gave birth to their son alone, Mahmoud sat in ICE detention in Louisiana.Hawk discusses the heartbreaking and outrageous story of Khalil's arrest, the shadowy role of Canary Mission, and the disturbing involvement of officials like Marco Rubio and Columbia professor Shai Davidai. He explores how dissent is being criminalized in real time under the Trump administration—and how Canary Mission's blacklisting of activists is being used to feed arrests.Hawk highlights the courageous voice of Mahmoud's wife Noor Abdallah, legal updates on Mahmoud's case, and the broader implications for First Amendment rights, academic freedom, and the silencing of Palestinian solidarity.This is a story of political imprisonment, media complicity, and systemic injustice. It's also a story of resilience, love, and the quiet strength of a family fighting back.

Gary discusses the inconsistent application of religion and politics between the two American political parties. Churches and pastors MUST be involved not only in biblical studies, but in the application of such studies, including in politics. All biblical worldview issues have real-world application, which is the actual reason for teaching the biblical issues in the first place.

The Trump administration’s crackdowns on pro-Palestinian activism look eerily similar to a conservative proposal to target universities and international students it claims are part of a “terrorist support network”. Who is behind the plan, and what will its impact be?

(https://businessmakers.network/) What if I told you that the Supreme Court is reading the Constitution wrong because they don’t understand basic grammar that a fourth grader could know? Yes, it’s actually true, but before I explain why, we first need to talk about the tug of war going on in Washington State about transgenderism. As our journalist Justin Chartrey reported, our country was broadly forced to accept the lie that boys could play in women’s sports, and if anyone questioned it, they were called names and canceled. That sounds like a toddler tantrum to me. Well, thankfully, Trump signed an executive order in February to keep boys out of girls’ sports, so this has been a blessing to our nation. However, not everyone on the West Coast has gotten the memo. The government of Washington State does not want to change its liberal policies, and this has frustrated the Central Valley School District by the city of Spokane. This school district is not only writing a complaint against the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction of Washington State, but it has also appealed to Washington D.C. by asking the department of education and the department of justice to investigate Washington State’s transgender sports policy. The Central Valey School District is not alone in its efforts, though, because the Mead School District in Washington State is also opposing Washington State’s transgender sport wickedness. However, I mentioned before that this is a tug-of-war, and so this is why. If the state government doesn't comply, then the federal government will hold money from the school districts. But if the school districts comply with the federal government, then the state government will take away funding. And here's the practical side of the problem. The federal government only holds 5% of a school district's budgets with their funding, but Washington State controls 78% of a school district's budgets. So, right now, the state government is the holding the bigger gun, but this hasn’t stopped Central Valley from asking for help from Washington D.C. anyway. We need more school districts like Central Valley and Mead to step out and do the right thing in states that are steeped in a liberal government. Check out the details at crosspoliticnews.com.

We saw this begin to play out again a few weeks ago in a case where a Catholic charter school in Oklahoma wanted tax support from the state, but the state’s government refused. This made its way to the Supreme Court, but it seems like the Court will probably rule against the school because the court tends to rely more on its past precedents and rulings than the Constitution. And even though its previous rulings sometimes contradict each other or don’t seem to fit together, it doesn’t seem like there will be much support for the Catholic school, mostly because people have misunderstood what the Constitution says about religion. People love pointing to the First Amendment as proof for why the U.S. should stay away from religion in politics, but this is where looking at the grammar is helpful. The first amendment specifically says that, quote, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, unquote. As Justice Story wrote back in the 1800s, the first amendment was supposed to specifically prevent Congress from establishing a, as our journalist David Fowler wrote, quote, “national ecclesiastical establishment” unquote. Congress was the subject in the first amendment—not individual states.

The latest in the ongoing battle between the Trump Admin. and Harvard University includes an effort by the Trump Admin. to bar the university from using the Student and Exchange Visitor Program for not complying with their demands to supply information on student visa holders. Harvard followed up with a lawsuit against the administration for violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act, to which a federal judge temporarily blocked the Admin. from revoking Harvard's ability to enroll international students. Dan takes aim with the President's battle with Harvard and thinks he's wasting political capital.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWDemocracy hangs in the balance as Trump's second term unfolds through executive orders and policy reversals that fundamentally alter America's relationship with education, business, and the world at large.Harvard University stands at the forefront of resistance, challenging the administration's attempt to ban international students through what the university calls "clear retaliation" for exercising First Amendment rights. While a federal judge has temporarily halted this ban, the case exemplifies growing tensions between academic freedom and executive authority.Meanwhile, American consumers face mounting challenges as Trump drops lawsuits against companies like Boeing and Capital One that the previous administration had pursued for alleged consumer abuses. "They've never seen a business practice they didn't approve of," notes one advocate, highlighting how protective guardrails are being systematically dismantled.The economic consequences of "America First" policies become increasingly apparent, with analysts warning that domestically manufactured iPhones could triple in price to $3,500 if Trump forces Apple's production stateside. His threat of a "straight 50% tariff" against the European Union further showcases his preference for economic strong-arming over diplomatic negotiation, proudly declaring "I'm not looking for a deal."Perhaps most revealing is the record surge of Americans applying for UK citizenship since Trump began his second term – a 12% jump that mirrors a similar spike during his first presidency. While these developments unfold, small acts of community kindness shine through, like the Iranian immigrant dry cleaner offering free services to job seekers, reminding us of the generosity and hope that persists despite political turmoil.How will these policies reshape America's place in the world and affect your daily life? Listen now to understand what's at stake and why preserving democratic values matters more than ever.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

Harvard University is suing the Trump Administration after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) enforced a ban on international students at America's most prestigious Ivy League school. Harvard claims that President Trump's ban violates the First Amendment and the rights of foreign students. The Sekulow team discusses Harvard's lawsuit against the Trump Administration, antisemitic riots on college campuses, the ACLJ's legal work to defend Jewish students and Israel – and much more.

Did you know the phrase “separation of church and state” does not appear in our Constitution?  The phrase was used by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802.  The First Amendment does guarantee “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”  What was the intent of the founders in codifying this in the Constitution?  Did they intend to keep religion out of government or rather government out of religion?  To help us answer these questions and so many more, we are pleased to welcome Vincent Phillip Muñoz, Tocqueville Professor of Political Science and Concurrent Associate Professor of Law at The University of Notre Dame, as our special guest this week.

Donald Trump made South African President Cyril Ramaphosa the target of his latest geopolitical ambush of a foreign leader in front of television cameras. In an extraordinary scene clearly orchestrated by the White House for maximum effect, Trump confronted Ramaphosa with false claims of genocide against South African whites, including allegations of mass killings and land seizures.

In this intense and emotional broadcast, hosts discuss the heartbreaking assassination of a young woman by a radicalized left-wing activist. They connect the tragedy to broader concerns about foreign nationals on student visas allegedly supporting terrorism on U.S. campuses. Citing recent remarks from Senator Marco Rubio and other officials, the segment explores the merging influence of foreign ideologies, the role of university organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine, and the urgent call to revoke visas tied to extremist activity. A fiery examination of national security, First Amendment boundaries, and the growing radical presence in higher education.

In a sweeping and impassioned critique, this two-part commentary tackles America's deepening political and economic crises. The first half focuses on the perceived double standard in justice and protest—blasting Democratic lawmakers for inciting violence while shielding themselves with First Amendment claims, and praising Rep. Nancy Mace's call for accountability. The second half shifts to the economy, lambasting both parties—especially Republicans—for reckless spending, ignoring bond market warnings, and pushing delusional growth promises. With historical analogies to Nazi Germany, Argentina, and Zimbabwe, the speaker warns that America is barreling toward collapse—politically, financially, and morally.

In the final installment of our (Hurricane) Leah McSweeney legal breakdown, we unpack what the judge ultimately decided in her case. We walk through which claims were dismissed—including those related to gender and religion discrimination and hostile work environment—and which are moving forward.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) said Tuesday she rebuffed efforts from the Trump administration to strike a plea deal ahead of pending assault charges stemming from her visit to an immigration detention center, saying officials wanted her to “admit to doing something that I did not do.” Footage from the incident shows McIver being jostled in the crowd, but she has contested accusations she “body-slammed” anyone.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we examine the legal controversy over James Comey's deleted “8647” social media post and the ensuing federal investigation. Host Jessica Levinson analyzes whether Comey's message amounted to an unlawful threat against former president Trump or was simply protected political speech. She guides listeners through the legal standards for incitement, fighting words, and true threats, concluding that the greater threat may be government efforts to silence political opponents. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:James Comey's Social Media Post: Jessica Levinson introduces the controversy surrounding former FBI director James Comey, who is under federal investigation for a now-deleted social media post featuring shells arranged as "8647" on the beach. The crux of the issue is whether this was a coded call to "get rid of" (86) President Trump, who is both the 45th and 47th president, or simply a form of political commentary.The Legal Question: Free Speech vs. True Threats: Levinson dives into the central legal dilemma: Was Comey advocating violence, or exercising his First Amendment right to political speech? She explains the importance of distinguishing between punishable incitement or threats and protected political advocacy.Historical and Contextual Perspective: The episode puts this controversy in a broader context, mentioning similar uses of "86" by other politicians, notably Matt Gaetz, without triggering federal investigations. Levinson argues that context matters—whether the intent is referencing a metaphorical political ouster or a literal threat.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

The current average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.17, and no state has an average gas price of $1.98, as per Trump's claim. GasBuddy could find no gas station in the country selling gas at that price contradicting Trump's made up numbers.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Former FBI Director James Comey faces Secret Service scrutiny after posting '8647', a coded death threat aimed at President Trump. His controversial history, from handling the Clinton investigation to alleged FISA abuses, shapes debate over potential prosecution and First Amendment defenses.
