We've got America's preeminent “father of daughters” Coach Brett Kavanaugh's majority opinion allowing states to exclude trans women and girls from female sports teams, a massive blow to campaign finance law, and the survival of birthright citizenship by the skin of the 14th Amendment's teeth.

In this gripping second installment, the Tall Boy Radio studio welcomes back a true titan of law enforcement history: Retired Lt. Cmdr. Vernon Geberth. Hosts Beans and Gaz dive deep into the formative years of the man who literally wrote the book on homicide investigation.This episode takes us back to the gritty streets of Queens, where a young Geberth found himself at a professional crossroads. Despite a record that spoke for itself, Vernon opens up about the sting of being passed over for promotion to Sergeant by a biased superior—a setback that only served to fuel his relentless drive to tackle the borough's most dangerous elements.The Misfire Miracle: In perhaps the most chilling moment of the interview, Vernon recounts a face-to-face encounter with a perpetrator that should have been his last. With a gun pressed against him and the trigger pulled, he discusses how a mechanical failure—a faulty firing pin—reinforced his unwavering faith in God and kept him in the fight.The Urban War: Geberth provides a raw, boots-on-the-ground perspective of the 1970s conflict with the Black Liberation Army, describing an era of policing that felt less like a job and more like a domestic insurgency.Taking Down Giants: From high-speed car chases through the narrow corridors of New York to the physical reality of subduing 6'8" villains, Vernon shares the adrenaline-fueled reality of street crime enforcement.Mafiosi and Murderers: We hear the stories of arresting made men and navigating the complex social hierarchies of the Queens underworld, where the stakes were always life and death.This isn't just a collection of "cop stories." It's a masterclass in resilience, faith, and integrity. Vernon Geberth discusses how he maintained his moral compass while operating in a world of extreme violence and systemic bias. Whether you are a true crime aficionado, a student of history, or someone looking for a story about overcoming professional adversity, this conversation delivers."I wasn't just fighting the guys on the street; sometimes I was fighting the guys behind the desks. But I knew my purpose." — Lt. Cmdr. Vernon GeberthGrab a cold one, settle in, and listen to a legend recount the wars he won before he ever became the 'Master of Homicide.'You can buy Vernon's book hereTHE GODFATHER OF HOMICIDE SECOND EDITION: VERNON J.

The Sporting News College Football Reporter and Columnist Bill Bender talks about how split the SEC seems to be about what playoff format they'd like to expand to, if coaches were misled going to a 9-game conference slate, SEC splitting off wouldn't work, needing to get conferences to have the same agenda, if the College Sports Commission is going to make a difference, and how many changes, adjustments, and fixes college sports still needs.

Kate, Melissa, and Leah try to wrap their heads around Trump's nearly $2 billion DOJ slush fund, which they agree may be—despite extremely stiff competition—the biggest act of trolling and self-dealing of his second term.

Anarchy is community gardens and potluck dinners, playgrounds and art classes, friends and family in the foreground, and dancing wildly on the ruins of a system that was killing us. Anarchy is spontaneous cooperation without coercion, mutuality and reciprocity, tolerance for confusion, contingency, improvisation, dialogue and debate, experimentation, spontaneity, and the flux that accompanies constant social learning. Anarchy is embracing the cosmic dream boogie and a freedom we've never tasted. Anarchy is free people doing all the things that free people do, and respecting other free people doing everything that free people do. We're in conversation with Jessica Lawless, author of Cultural Capital Doesn't Pay the Rent, a moving account of abolitionist feminist resistance excavated from their decades of organizing and activism.

Guest: Sen. Rand Paul Recent testimony from a CIA whistleblower reveals that the agency knew early on that the COVID-19 virus came from a lab, but that finding was suppressed in favor of the natural origin theory at the urging of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Matt Kibbe is joined by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to discuss how Fauci became so powerful within the intelligence community and why secretive agencies like the CIA are able to brazenly flout the law and ignore orders from Congress.

Recent testimony from a CIA whistleblower reveals that the agency knew early on that the COVID-19 virus came from a lab, but that finding was suppressed in favor of the natural origin theory at the urging of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Matt Kibbe is joined by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to discuss how Fauci became so powerful within the intelligence community and why secretive agencies like the CIA are able to brazenly flout the law and ignore orders from Congress. A representative democracy can't function when the people have no ability to rein in unelected bureaucrats.

Then, the full crew dives deeper into the Court's catastrophic Voting Rights Act decision in Louisiana v. Callais (for their initial reaction, check out last week's emergency episode). Next, they recap the troubling oral arguments in Mullin v. Doe, the case about Temporary Protected Status, in which Trump's Solicitor General tried to argue that the President's extremely racist statements about migrants from certain countries weren't, in fact, racist at all. Also covered: Trump's ballroom, arguments in an important Fourth Amendment case, and how some savvy federal judges are turning the administration's favorite legal concept—the unitary executive theory—against it. Favorite things: Kate: The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, Kiran Desai; Transcription, Ben Lerner Leah: Ariana Grande's new album announcement; Noah Kahan on tour; SCOTUS Drops The Other Shoe on the Voting Rights Act, Sherrilyn Ifill (Sherrilyn's Newsletter); The Slaying of the Voting Rights Act by the Coward Samuel Alito, Rick Hasen (Slate); The Supreme Court is Corrupt.

When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents launched an immigration raid in South Burlington on March 11, they ran into a wall of resistance. Neighbors linked arms in an attempt to stop the masked agents from entering a house in their effort to arrest and deport a Mexican-born man. Protesters blocked an ICE vehicle and hurled insults and objects.ICE agents deployed flashbang grenades. Vermont State Police and local police shoved, dragged and even choked some protesters, according to public testimony at the Statehouse. Three occupants of the house who were not named in a warrant were arrested by ICE. Outside, six protesters were arrested — three by VSP and three by Burlington police.Resistance did not end on the streets of South Burlington. Last week, Chittenden County State's Attorney Sarah George announced that she would not charge the protesters who were arrested. She stated that they did not have criminal records and it was not solely protesters who “bear the burden of all the harm caused that day.” George also blamed police officers “who agitated, who escalated, and who responded in a way that may be ultimately deemed legal, but was also unacceptable.”George told me that “there were some protesters that absolutely escalated the situation and made things a lot more dangerous than necessary.” But she added that after watching the police body camera videos, “there was a lot of behavior on both sides that was not necessary and made the situation a lot more escalated than it needed to be.”George has called for an independent review of the law enforcement response and referred three of those arrested to a restorative justice program.State police leaders have criticized George in unusually harsh and personal terms, blasting her for “a disheartening decision that sets a dangerous precedent.”Vermont Public Safety Commissioner Jennifer Morrison and Vermont State Police Director Col. Matthew T. Birmingham wrote in a statement, “The state's attorney's failure to bring charges in this matter is likely to embolden people at similar events in the future to cross the line into criminal behavior, placing the public and law enforcement at greater risk of harm.” George countered that the situation “was very emotionally charged, and our local law enforcement participated in the unlawful arrest of three of our community members, and I think that there has to be a bit more accountability shared in what happened on March 11.”In the end, the entire ICE raid was found to have been triggered by a case of mistaken identity. The three occupants of the house who were arrested have since been released.Asked if she believed that federal agents were breaking the law and not being held accountable, George replied, “Yeah, absolutely. From my perspective, March 11 is an example of that.” She noted that the ICE officer lied on his affidavit to obtain an arrest warrant and “there was no impact on that agent for falsifying a warrant.”What role should local law enforcement play when federal agents are conducting an immigration raid and community members are protesting?“I don't know,” George replied. “Ultimately, it's up to communities to decide.” She suggested that local police chiefs ask their town officials for guidance on “what do you want us to do when this happens.”George added that local police felt that “if they hadn't been present on March 11, that ICE agents would have significantly harmed, if not killed, protesters. That is a terrifying thought.”“I'm terrified for every brown person in our community,” said George. “I'm terrified that it is OK for ICE agents to do what they did on March 11 and essentially kidnap three people in our community, because they just rounded up the brown people in the house, instead of taking the time to make sure that they were even on the slightest bit of legal ground.”“We have a lot of people in our community that contribute to our community in an incredible way and are afraid to leave their houses. And that, to me, is an enormous threat to public safety.”George said her refusal to charge protesters is “about standing up for the three people who (were) unlawfully arrested that day by a federal administration that doesn't care about the law.”“It has to be more important to every single person in our community and to our law enforcement officers that that be held accountable more than the three people locking arms to try to keep those three people from being kidnapped.”

From the DOJ's targeting of the Southern Poverty Law Center for its anti-KKK work to Kash Patel's outrageous lawsuit against The Atlantic for its reporting on his unfitness for office to the Fifth Circuit's legal contortions allowing Texas to mandate the Ten Commandments be displayed in classrooms, it's been a wild week in the law. Kate and Leah unpack it all before recapping the week's oral arguments, which featured the welcome return of former Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar to One First Street's hallowed halls. For the second part of the show, Kate and Leah speak with University of Pennsylvania law professor Shaun Ossei-Owusu about his new book, Law on Trial: An Unlikely Insider Reckons with Our Legal System.Favorite things: Kate: Sexistential, Robyn; USAID Whistleblower Says It Was Even Worse Than People Knew, Vittoria Elliott (Wired); Into the Wood Chipper: A Whistleblower's Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID, Nicholas Enrich; Enrich's interview on Pod Save the World; Melissa on the Work Friends podcast Leah: The Great Divide, Noah Kahan; Kahan's Tiny Desk Concert; It Is Time for Ruthless Aggression, Jonathan V.

The pitiful state of university sociology departments is an unfortunate thing, but to see tantrums at elite law schools over "controversial" speakers portends danger — or so says Ilya Shapiro, author of Lawless: The Miseducation of America's Elites. He and the fellas discuss the illiberal takeover of higher education, most troublingly in the institutions that train the gatekeepers of our legal system. Plus, James, Charles, and Steve speculate on the midterms; see the potential for backfire from Virginia's redistricting referendum; smell controversy over the latest victory for the refer movement; and begrudgingly admit the Americanness of gambling with top secrets.

Welcome to Day 2845 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2845 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 119:145-152 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2845 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2845 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Qoph of Calling – The Nearness of the King in the Dark Watch In our previous episode on this grand expedition, we climbed through the eighteenth stanza of Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, the “Tsadhe” section. We found a massive, unyielding anchor for our souls in the absolute, unbending justice of the Creator. We learned that when the pressure and stress of this hostile world bear down upon us like a vice grip, we do not have to panic. Instead, we can retreat into the thoroughly tested, perfectly refined promises of Yahweh, finding a supernatural, defiant joy in His eternal righteousness. Today, we take a deep breath, adjust our packs, and continue our ascent into the nineteenth stanza of this magnificent, alphabetical mountain. We are exploring the “Qoph” section, covering Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, verses one hundred forty-five through one hundred fifty-two, in the New Living Translation. In the ancient Hebrew alphabet, the letter “Qoph” was often depicted as the back of a head, or the eye of a needle. It carries the imagery of calling out, of drawing near, and of things coming full circle. This stanza is intensely atmospheric. The psalmist takes us into the darkest, most vulnerable hours of the night. He is surrounded by the approaching footsteps of his enemies. He is exhausted, and he is crying out with every ounce of strength he has left. But in the midst of this terrifying darkness, he makes a breathtaking discovery about the proximity of God. Let us step onto the trail, and learn how to call out to the King when the shadows close in. The first segment is: The Wholehearted Cry for Rescue Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred forty-five and one hundred forty-six. I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees. I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws. The stanza opens with an intense, raw explosion of spiritual desperation. “I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord!” We must remember the context of the previous stanzas. The psalmist has been hunted by the arrogant, smeared with lies, and pushed to the absolute limits of his endurance. When you reach this level of exhaustion, polite, casual prayers evaporate. You do not offer God a half-hearted request. You cry out with the totality of your being. To pray “with all my heart” means that his intellect, his emotions, and his will are entirely unified, and laser-focused on the throne of Yahweh. Notice the beautiful symmetry in his bargaining. He says, “Answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees. I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws.” Many times, when human beings are in pain, we cry out for rescue simply because we want the pain to stop. We want relief, comfort, and an easy life. But the psalmist elevates his prayer far beyond mere self-preservation. He is asking for deliverance with a highly specific, cosmic goal in mind. He wants to be rescued, precisely so that he can continue his mission as an obedient imager of the Most High God. He is saying, “Lord, if my enemies destroy me, my voice of obedience is silenced in this world. Save my life, cut the ropes of the wicked, and deliver me from this trap, so that I can get back to the business of walking in Your cosmic blueprint. My rescue is tied directly to Your glory.” The second segment is: The Vigil of the Night Watches Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred forty-seven and one hundred forty-eight. I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words. I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise. The psalmist details the grueling, physical reality of his spiritual vigil. He is caught in a cycle of sleepless desperation. He declares, “I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.” Literally, the Hebrew text says, “I anticipate the dawn.” Before the first rays of light crest the horizon, before the rest of the camp is awake, the psalmist is already on his knees. He beats the sun to the battlefield. He knows that if he waits until the chaotic noise of the day begins, his mind might be hijacked by fear. So, he preemptively anchors his soul, crying out for help in the predawn stillness, and forcibly attaching his hope to the solid rock of God's words. But the battle is not just in the morning; it consumes his nights as well. “I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise.” In the ancient world, the night was divided into military watches. It was the time of greatest vulnerability. The darkness was considered the domain of chaos, the hunting ground of predators, and the operational hour of the dark, rebellious spiritual forces of the Divine Council. The wicked, who operate under the influence of these rebel gods, do their best work in the dark. The psalmist cannot sleep because the threat is so imminent. His eyes are wide open through every single watch of the night. But instead of letting his mind spin into a vortex of anxiety, he engages in active, defensive warfare. He stays awake, “thinking about your promise.” Other translations say, “meditating on your word.” He uses the quiet, terrifying hours of the darkness to chew on the eternal promises of the Creator. He weaponizes his insomnia, turning his midnight terror into a sanctuary of deep, theological reflection. The third segment is: The Plea for Hesed and the Approaching Threat Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred forty-nine and one hundred fifty. In your unfailing love, hear my prayer; Lord, revive me by your justice. Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions. As the night drags on, the psalmist makes his ultimate appeal. “In your unfailing love, hear my prayer; Lord, revive me by your justice.” Once again, we encounter the bedrock word of the Old Testament: Hesed. The psalmist does not demand a hearing based on his own perfect performance; he asks for an audience based entirely on God's loyal, covenant-keeping affection. He is exhausted, and his spirit is fainting, so he asks Yahweh to “revive” him. He needs the breath of life—chayah—to be pumped back into his collapsing lungs. And he trusts that God's justice, His unbending commitment to making things right, will act as the defibrillator for his dying hope. The urgency of this revival is suddenly made clear in verse one hundred fifty. The abstract fears of the night have materialized into a terrifying, physical reality. He whispers, “Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions.” Literally, the Hebrew says, “They draw near who follow after wickedness.” The footsteps are getting louder. The shadows are moving. The enemy is closing the distance. Notice how the psalmist describes these attackers. They are not just political opponents; they are “lawless people.” They have severed themselves from the Torah of God. To live “far from your instructions” is to live in the chaotic, rebellious wasteland of the fallen world. By rejecting the cosmic blueprint of the Creator, these individuals have become willing agents of the dark principalities. They are bringing the chaos of the void directly to the psalmist's doorstep. The threat is imminent, and the trap is about to spring. The fourth segment is: The Ultimate Proximity and the Eternal Foundation Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred fifty-one and one hundred fifty-two. But you are near, O Lord, and all your commands are true. I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever. In the very moment when the lawless attackers draw near, when the tension is at its absolute peak, the psalmist experiences a stunning, supernatural revelation. He looks past the approaching shadows, and he declares a massive, paradigm-shifting truth: “But you are near, O Lord, and all your commands are true.” The wicked are drawing close, but Yahweh is...

But we made time to catch up again to talk about how she's running for office in Nashville!So we sat down and talked through everything. How she got here, what finally pushed her to jump in, and what she's actually seeing behind the scenes. We get into what campaigning actually looks like, what people in her district really care about, and why so much of politics feels disconnected from real life.We do not agree on everything, and we don't try to pretend we do. But the conversation doesn't fall apart because of that, which honestly feels rare nowadays. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to run for office, or what's happening behind the scenes of a campaign, this is a real look at it.Angie is the democratic candidate for TN State House 59 and Election Day is August 6th.

Even though the Supreme Court took a break from hearing oral arguments, there was still plenty of legal news breaking every day.

Then, Emily Amick, joins Leah to talk all things 25th Amendment-- where it came from, why we probably won't see it invoked here and now, and why we should keep talking about it anyways.Favorite things: Leah: Democracy in Retrograde by Sami Sage and Emily Amick; “Drunks, Lampposts, and the Birthright Citizenship Case” by Steve Vladeck; Levain Bakery's carrot cake cookie Katie: her dog Lucky Emily: Strangers by Belle Burden; Smitten Kitchen's zucchini butter spaghetti; meet-ups with the EYP community  Get tickets for STRICT SCRUTINY LIVE in New York City on June 20th.

There's a lot to unpack this week, not least of which being the President's open suggestion of committing war crimes against Iran. Mary and Andrew begin by underscoring the Geneva Conventions stipulation limiting the use of force in wartime to military targets – not civilian ones. Then, a major shakeup at the Department of Justice: Attorney General Pam Bondi is out. Andrew compares her ouster to Trump's firing of Jeff Sessions in his first term, and how the “sycophantic” nature of her allegiance to Trump did not save her job. Next, they turn to last week's oral arguments before the Supreme Court over birthright citizenship. Mary, who is steeped in the case, came away thinking that “the solicitor general has a much greater hill to climb” to convince a majority of Justices to uphold Trump's executive order at issue. Last up, the co-hosts look at another of Trump's EO's being challenged that would restrict mail-in voting, despite defending his own use of voting by mail in Florida's Special Election in late March.

Last week saw oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case, Trump v. Barbara, and listeners, it finally happened: a legal argument so outlandish from the Trump administration that even this Court will have to rule against him. Leah and Melissa break down the back-and-forth and explain why this case will give SCOTUS credibility it doesn't deserve. They also cover the President's firing of the blonde with the binders, Pamela Jo Bondi–pouring one out for her chaotic, destructive reign at the Department of Justice.Favorite things: Leah: The Birthright Con, Jamelle Bouie (NYT); WNBA Players Had an Ace Up Their Sleeve in Pay Negotiations: A Nobel Laureate, Rachel Bachman & Justin Lahart (WSJ) Melissa: Parents as Regulators by Caitlin Millat, forthcoming in UCLA L.

Is this the greatest arc of Clone Wars up to this point? Very close to it, at least in contention with the Umbara arc. Let's jump in and chat about Maul just in time for the release of Shadow Lord next week (and also just in time for baby Mercules to get here, so it might be a bit before we release another new episode)!BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcastsCHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf
