Podcasts about Lawlessness

The 4th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals has issued a scorched-earth opinion in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case. Judge Harvey Wilkinson, a Ronald Reagan appointee, called out the Trump administration for grave and upsetting constitutional violations, saying, "This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses shall hold dear." Glenn reviews this remarkable and direct rebuke of the lawlessness of the Trump administration in the Garcia case.If 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.

Many say they follow Yeshua—but few actually walk the path that leads to life. In this urgent and sobering message, we examine what it really means to walk the narrow path: a life of obedience, sacrifice, and holiness—not mere belief. Are you truly walking the way Yeshua walked, or have you settled for a version of faith that requires no transformation?Let us know what you think! - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HFLD9XWRead the transcript at https://119ministries.com/narrowpathaudioNote: All sermons are written and produced by 119 Ministries.

Another nightmare week in the US due to Trump and his team. The incompetence doing the lawful, important work shines brightly again. Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse talk details and responses to this mess.  And, Robb's nominations this week  for who had "The Dumbest Week in the Administration." 

Marc & Kim are joined by Hans von Spakovsky from the Heritage Foundation joined the show to discuss a recent Supreme Court intervention involving the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. He pushed back on claims by Democratic leaders, like David Hogg, that the Trump administration is disobeying court orders. Hans explained that the legal dispute is highly complex, but the core issue lies in jurisdiction—specifically, that the case involving the migrants should have been filed in Texas, not Washington, D.C. He said the Supreme Court had already clarified this, but the ACLU filed emergency motions claiming the administration was ignoring the order. In response, the Court issued a temporary stay in the early hours of Saturday morning, preventing deportations until the matter is resolved in lower courts. Von Spakovsky argued the government has followed legal procedure, while some federal judges are overstepping their authority. He also addressed the due process argument, saying illegal immigrants have limited rights once they've had immigration hearings, and the Attorney General retains the power to overrule immigration judges. He criticized what he sees as judicial activism, where lower courts are defying clear legal boundaries, and warned that this undermines the rule of law. Ultimately, he framed the situation as a legal and procedural fight—not a case of executive lawlessness.

John is joined by Maya Wiley, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, to discuss the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and its implications for the rule of law in America. Wiley argues that the case -- and Donald Trump's open defiance of the Supreme Court's unanimous order that the administration facilitate Garcia's repatriation from a notorious penal colony in El Salvador -- is about more than Garcia's fate, immigration or foreign policy, the Trump administration's deportation agenda, or even the constitutional principle of due process. It's about Trump's yen for unchecked power, and how, if he gets it, the next Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be you.

Wednesday “What's Buggin' You” segment for 4-16-25

George Conway makes the case that Trump and his allies are twisting the law to deport whoever they want for any reason. Plus, Eugene Daniels and Maria Teresa Kumar on the administration's plan to screen immigrants' social media accounts for “antisemitism.”

As the Supreme Court weighs in on the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act, Mary and Andrew approach this week's developments with both concern and relief. While relieved at the unanimity of the High Court's belief that due process is a necessity, the concern lies with the Trump administration's response to a court order directing them to arrange the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. They also see cause for alarm after the government retaliated against their own lawyer in this case. Andrew and Mary then take a beat to spotlight the DC circuit upholding a judge's decision related to scope of Trump's J6 pardons. And before closing out this week's episode, they detail the lawsuit brought by the conservative leaning NCLA over the constitutionality of the sweeping tariffs the president has announced.Further reading: This is Mary's recent op Ed in the Washington Post: The White House war on Big Law hits some speed bumpsAnd please vote for your favorite MSNBC podcasts in this year's Webby Awards:Prosecuting Donald Trump in the Podcasts - Crime & Justice category: VOTE HEREWhy Is This Happening?

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

From Here To Eternity part 7 of 8Speaker: Randy Roberts

Join Dave as he looks at 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8 and The Mystery of Lawlessness.

Life can feel like walking a tightrope. Lean too far one way—self-righteousness—and you become rigid and judgmental. Lean too far the other—reckless sin—and you risk destruction. But what if there's a better way? Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 7:15-18: In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them. — Ecclesiastes 7:15-18 Solomon lays out a tension: A righteous man suffers, while a wicked man seems to thrive. And then comes the warning—don't be “overly righteous,” but also don't be “overly wicked.” Is Solomon telling us to live somewhere in the middle? To just be… lukewarm? Not at all. This isn't a call to compromise—it's a call to wisdom. To avoid both self-righteousness and self-centeredness—and instead, fear God. I've met believers who try to control life through extreme moral rigidity—thinking perfection will guarantee blessings. I've also met people who throw caution to the wind—living recklessly, assuming they have time to fix things later. Both are dangerous. Legalism crushes the soul. Lawlessness destroys the body. But the fear of the Lord? That leads to life. So, where do you land? Are you trying to earn your way to God's favor? Or are you ignoring God altogether, assuming you'll deal with it later? The right step forward? Fear God. Walk in wisdom. Trust Him to guide your path. #WisdomInChrist, #FearOfTheLord, #DailyBibleStudy ASK THIS: In what ways have you tried to control life through moral rigidity? Have you ever assumed you had time to fix things later? How did that work out? What does it mean to "fear God" in your daily decisions? How can wisdom help you avoid the extremes of legalism and lawlessness? DO THIS: Pause today and ask: Am I leaning toward self-righteousness or self-centeredness? Then, realign your heart to fear God and trust Him fully. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to walk in wisdom, fearing You above all else. Keep me from the traps of both legalism and lawlessness so I may follow You faithfully. Amen. PLAY THIS: I Will Fear No More.

President Trump's lawlessness is escalating. First he angrily tweeted that his predecessor's pardons of January 6 committee members are invalid, while threatening to prosecute them. Meanwhile, the Trump administration appears to have violated a court order in deporting some Venezuelans. And his border czar flatly declared that the administration is set to ignore what judges say. At Monday's briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt spun madly about all this, but her lack of clarity strongly hinted that Trump is on the precipice of a new level of lawbreaking. We talked to legal scholar Matthew Seligman, a skilled decoder of complicated legal messes. He explains why Trump's latest moves are “chilling”—and why Leavitt's ambiguity is only cause to anticipate more lawlessness, not less. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Since his election, Donald Trump has stunned the world with a series of moves that have upended the well-established post-war international order. He picked up the phone and brought Putin in from the cold, branded Zelensky a 'dictator' and suggested America will no longer continue to finance European defence. At this pivotal moment in history, Manveen Rana speaks to former foreign secretary, historian and Times columnist, Lord William Hague on why this marks the start of a new chapter and a much more dangerous period than we are used to living in.

I sat down with Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen (citizen.org) to discuss how citizens and the courts can best and most effectively stop what Musk and Trump are doing. We've never seen such a brazen, lawless convergence of concentrated corporate & government power. But we must fight back. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

IS 2025 the year the Mark of the Beast is introduced?It's early in the game for the mark, but it's likely we'll see major efforts to introduce Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) around the world, and this is as close to the mark as anything we've seen in our lifetimes.We look at the situation in Syria and how it may impact the Middle East in general and Israel in particular. We also discuss the claim by some that President Trump's recent actions suggest that he is the Man of Lawlessness. With respect, we disagree; the Antichrist is likely to be younger and have a much wider base of support than Donald Trump.

2 Thessalonians charges out of the gate by discussing two of the scariest subjects in Scripture: hell and the antichrist. Both of these frightening subjects carry a message of hope for the church experiencing a sampling of hell and antichrist-like figures.

"He opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God..." (2 Thessalonians 2:4). For centuries, these words have ignited fierce debate—who is this figure, this Man of Lawlessness? The Reformers had no doubt: the papacy itself bore the mark of Antichrist, not because of personal corruption, but because it placed human authority above the gospel of Christ. Lutherans continue to confess this today, but do we fully understand the implications of this doctrine? Is the Antichrist a single, future tyrant, a system of deception, or something far more subtle—an enemy of Christ present in every age? Perhaps it's all of the above.   Rev. Dr. Charles A. Gieschen, provost and professor of exegetical theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss the doctrine of Antichrist.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Melissa, Kate, and Leah continue to assess the fallout from the second Trump administration, including his blatant disregard of the law in firing many inspectors general.

Some very clear themes are already emerging from President Donald Trump's executive orders; cruel, chaotic, and fear-stoking - yes, but also - they're rife with shoddy drafting (is that you, ChatGPT?), sloppy lawyering, and some are wildly unconstitutional.
