Podcasts about Pardon

President Donald Trump has taken an increasingly personal role in the government's clemency process, wielding pardons aid his allies and advance his own political grievances.A Reuters investigation found that 96% of Trump's second-term clemency grants have gone to recipients who didn't fulfill longstanding DOJ guidelines for such requests. Past presidents on have sidestepped those rules before, but fewer than 1% of those who received clemency during the Biden administration and just 14% of recipients in Trump's first presidency failed to meet the guidelines.Pardon applicants once had to comply with longstanding DOJ guidelines, such as a five-year wait after conviction or demonstrated remorse for their crimes. But a Reuters' analysis shows that under Trump, clemency now is far more dependent upon access to his inner circle. They also found that “access is enhanced when an applicant can craft a narrative that resonates with the president's own sense of victimization.”During his first administration, Trump granted just 238 pardons and commutations, most of which came amid his frantic final days in office. But this term the White House has made clemencies a key part of its agenda.As part of our weekly series “If You Can Keep it,” we discuss pardons in the second Trump Administration.Find more of our programs online.

Imagine the feeling of one incarcerated to hear the word “pardoned.” One cannot embrace freedom quickly enough and that declaration is proof. God is greater and his evidence of pardon is quite clear. Will we accept it?

Attorneys for Chester Weger, the man convicted in one of Illinois' most notorious murder cases, are asking Governor JB Pritzker to grant him a posthumous pardon, nearly a year after Weger's death.

What can cause an outburst of holy joy? God himself is the source, the theme, the object of such praise, especially in his gracious dealings with sinners. To get to the root of the matter, we must look first at the blessings bestowed, the great mercy poured out and the pardon of transgressions granted. Then we must look at the scope which is expressed—a mercy as great as the heavens are above the earth, a pardon that removes transgressions as far as the east is from the west. Then we must consider the people who are favoured with such mercy: those who fear the Lord, who have felt the weight of their sin and have found the sweetness of divine pardon.

A new MP3 sermon from Maidenbower Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Measureless mercy, powerful pardon Speaker: Jeremy Walker Broadcaster: Maidenbower Baptist Church Event: Sunday - AM Date: 6/21/2026 Bible: Psalm 103:11-12 Length: 40 min.

Grace is not simply the pardon of our sins; it is the power to press on in obedience. We trust in God's ever-arriving gracious power to enable us to do what we should.

God isn’t looking for the strongest, the smartest, the most experienced, or the most qualified. None of the things we place such importance on are on God’s list of expectations of us. God asks for something specific from us … believe. Simply believe he will do what he says he will do. Believe he can do it through you and he can do it for you. We are so quick to dismiss ourselves. We’re so accustom to playing little and sitting it out. Experience has shown us if we will just sit and wait, someone else might step up and do it for us. But really, is that what God created you for? Did he create you to be the girl who never does anything hard? Did he create you to be the girl who watches others do what you should be doing? I think not! Your Creator expects you to believe his power is enough to overcome every single inadequacy you may have. Your Creator expects you to show up like you’re chosen, and count on divine providence to make things happen as you go. This whole laying low, hiding in dark corners, and playing little nonsense has got to stop. Your muscles are atrophying because you’re not using them. And let me tell you something, your faith is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. But lack of use causes it to wither and deteriorate. If you haven’t been showing up in the middle of circumstances that are beyond your own ability and putting yourself out there in the face of potential failure, then you’ve started to believe you never could. Your focus has become set on all you can’t do, rather than what GOD COULD DO through you. What could God do through you? Oh girl, you have no idea! But don’t you want to know! I totally want to know what God could do through an ordinary girl like me. I want to know what my life could become with a disciplined surrender to his promptings. Notice I said “disciplined surrender” to his promptings. I’ve discovered this journey of being led by the Holy Spirit is a daily act of discipline. It means I get up when I don’t want to get up. It means I show up no matter what. It means I believe there’s something greater guiding me than my feelings in the moment. It means I start small and humble and refuse to give up in the struggle, because eventually God will grow it to something greater. But he doesn’t grow great things out of our nothing. He doesn’t show up and use magic in our lives. Is that what you’ve been counting on? Magic. God, just make it happen. Do something big, while I do nothing. Nope. God uses seeds. Your disciplined surrender every day is a seed. If you don’t plant it by showing up when you don’t feel like showing up, then guess what … you forfeit the blessing of seeing what God could have done with your little. You dismiss yourself from growth. So, God will grow someone else. God will use someone else’s seed of disciplined surrender to create what you’ve been dreaming of, and you’ll sit there and watch it happen wondering why it couldn’t be you. Well, honey, maybe it couldn’t be you because you weren’t willing to believe to the point of action. Yes, that’s what we’re talking about today. Belief in God that makes us move. Believing so much that we can’t sit in inaction. Believing God is doing something so good, no one could make you sleep the day away. Believing God is guiding you so powerfully, that nothing could hold you back from taking the next step. Would God really choose someone like you for that? YES – You’re perfect for this! In the Old Testament, the Lord chose Gideon as his mighty warrior to rescue his people. But there was one little problem, Gideon was a very unlikely candidate for a warrior position. No one else would have chosen Gideon, but God did. And you need to know why. You need to know why God chose someone totally unlikely for great things, because you’ve been focusing on how unlikely you are while God has been trying to tell you YOU ARE CHOSEN. Judges 6: 11-16 “The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you,mighty warrior.” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.” The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.” Why would God choose the least person out of a family in the weakest clan to rise up as a warrior? Oh honey, don’t you remember what Jesus said in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My power is made perfect in your weakness.” Gideon being a total unlikely warrior was God’s divine opportunity to show his power. So, Sister, all the reasons why you can’t … all the reasons why you’re not good enough … all the reasons why you dismiss yourself … those are the exact reasons God has chosen you. YOU ARE THE ONE HE WANTS because his power is made absolutely perfect in you. You can’t do this on your own, and you’re not supposed to. But you are supposed to do this with his power! Gideon began following God’s promptings with disciplined surrender. He did things that were hard for him to do. He did things that made absolutely no sense to him. He did things that would cause others to question. And with each act of disciplined surrender, God’s power was made perfect within him. This is how the least person in a family of the weakest clan became a mighty warrior. He actually BELIEVED what God said about him. And he believed it so much, he took action. And this is exactly where you are today. You’re at this place where God is speaking to you. He is telling you you are his beloved and chosen girl. He is telling you he created you for a purpose and he has great plans for you. He is telling you the deepest desires of your heart have been put there by him, written into your soul by your creator, as a guide to your destiny. Will you BELIEVE IT? Will you believe this could be true for you? Will you believe your weakness makes you a perfect candidate for God’s power? Will you believe it so much that you stop dismissing yourself? Will you believe it so much that you greet the feelings that tell you you don’t want to, and show up with disciplined surrender anyway? Will you believe it in the face of your most recent set back? Will you believe it when it looks totally unlikely? Will you believe it when you’re tired? Will you believe it when it doesn’t make sense? Will you believe it to the point of action? God has aligned things for you that your mind simply cannot even begin to fathom right now. It’s crazy perfect how God’s plans for your life will fulfill every dream you’ve ever had and bring purpose to every struggle you’ve ever lived through. Yip, God meant it when he said he will give you the desires of your heart. He meant it when he said he would take everything the enemy ever meant for harm and use it for good. Now, you get to choose whether you believe it. And if you choose to believe it, something will start shifting within you. That belief will stir up power and courage and strength you never knew possible. The warrior stuff inside of you will start showing up. And every day, through disciplined surrender pushing you through all the things you don’t feel like doing, you will discover you really are the one God has chosen! Your job today is to start believing it and start showing up for it. My whole world changed when I spent more time believing I could be the one God spoke through than dismissing myself from the calling. No more dismissing yourself. God is calling you. He’s calling you out of the corner where you’ve been hiding. Out of the rut where you’ve been stuck. Out of the comfort you’ve been clinging to. Out of the excuses you’ve been using. Believe it and see where your feet are guided next! Each act of your disciplined surrender invites God’s power to be made perfect within you.

Send us Fan MailFrom Kansas City mob enforcer to prison evangelist, “Crazy Bill” Corum's story is one of radical transformation. In this episode, Bill shares how he went from stealing as a child, escaping a military prison, and working with the Kansas City mafia—earning his “Crazy Bill” nickname by walking into a dark bar with a running chainsaw—to becoming one of the leading cocaine dealers in the city, chasing money, power, and influence but never finding peace. He tells how God used his praying wife, a jail cell, and a desperate late-night prayer to radically change his life, restore his family, and send him into 40+ years of prison ministry through Prison Power Ministries, impacting inmates in thousands of prisons and on over a million inmate tablets. Website:To learn more go to: https://billcorum.com Music:Intro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oMSupport the show

Pardon the delay. Had some technical difficulty with my broadcaster, which is what I used to record my episodes so I hadn't put out an episode last week. This episode was recorded two weeks ago right before the roots picnic. I was joined by Vin Rock and we discussed TV shows for the most part. We got to punisher killshot as well as the daredevil season finale. Of course I had Vinny on to pick his brain about comparisons with the actual comic book in regards to killshot, etc. We then talk about the boys series, finale, and all the madness that that entails. We also get to the series finale of invincible Before finishing the show off talking about Aubrey Graham, of course. We give our little theories and a quick review of ice man and what we think about fandom in today's Internet age. Enjoy.

Who would have thought Steven Spielberg could make a boring movie about aliens? Spielberg's first major film in 10 years, Disclosure Day, was released Friday to mixed reviews. I haven't seen the film, but based on the reviews of those who have my sense is that the movie is about an hour too long and 30 years out of date. For example, the movie is described as a long chase scene in which the two protagonists are trying to reach a television studio to share proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Pardon me, but who actually believes the mainstream media anymore? Spielberg may be showing his age, but pretty much everyone under the age of 75 knows that anyone with the laptop and Wi-Fi could get the same information out to the entire world, faster, easier, and with a better chance of being believed than by racing a team of trained security professionals to a broadcast news studio. This movie would have been received a lot better during the height of the popularity of The X-Files.  Meanwhile, aliens of a different type have the United Kingdom rising up in protest after several incidents where new arrivals to the UK took bladed weapons to people of European ancestry. Citizens of the UK want elected officials who have foisted unrestricted immigration on their constituents, held accountable for streets that are increasingly unsafe and budgets that are increasingly unbalanced because of the imported diversity. Also: 100 days of war with Iran. Follow us!

Send us feedback/questions via TextI like Ecamm. When I bought it, I was will to pay for a tool that helped me make lessons for the School of Podcasting and it did live streaming with TONS of options. I now use Tella to make screenshare videos for the School of Podcasting, and I don't really need the features in Ecamm so I'm CONSIDERING moving to Evmux. The problem is I didn't practice enough so this episode is a bit rough at times as I run into areas where I thought I knew what I was doing, but didn't. Pardon me please. I will practice much more before next week.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – A parasitic fly, a virus outbreak thousands of miles away, a livestock regulation bill, a pardon, and an intelligence appointment have nothing in common. Yet in today's environment, they all become ammunition. They become symbols, talking points, and tools to attack the people we already dislike. This is the danger of a society where politics consumes everything...

Est-ce que l'on part vraiment explorer le monde, ou est-ce que l'on part avant tout à la rencontre de soi-même ?Loury Lag a traversé seul la banquise arctique par -60°C, dormi au milieu des ours polaires, traversé l'Atlantique à la voile pendant des semaines, survécu dans la jungle amazonienne, dans le Sahara ou encore sur les glaciers islandais...Pourtant, ce n'est pas l'explorateur qui m'a le plus impressionné : c'est l'homme.Au cours de notre échange, il m'a dit cette phrase : "J'ai transformé tout ce qui m'est arrivé de mal en puissance."Et je crois qu'elle résume à elle seule tout son parcours.Parce que derrière les expéditions, les records et les aventures hors normes, il y a une histoire beaucoup plus profonde.Une histoire de violence, de pardon, de liberté et de résilience.Dans cet épisode, Loury Lag remonte le fil de son histoire, nous partage les dessous du film D'un monde à l'autre avec Jérémie Rénier, et nous parle de son rapport à la mort, à la peur et à l'amour. Hébergé par Ausha.

The hymn we are studying this week is an old one (sort of). The English hymn was written by John Neale, based (roughly) on a Greek hymn by St. Joseph the Hymnographer from the 800's. In essence it is a completely new hymn but is based on the idea of St. Joseph.  The hymn we are studying this weekend is 322 in The Lutheran Hymnal: "And Wilt Thou Pardon, Lord." It does a beautiful job of presenting the Law, the Gospel and Christian Sanctification which flows from the Gospel. The hymnwriter, like the Psalmists of the Old Testament wrestle with the reality of sin and what we deserve because of them. It almost shows the incredulity of one who has been brought to know the depravity of his or her nature, that God could possibly forgive us or cleanse us from our sin. And that attitude is proper. Peter says: "For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:17-18). Knowing our sin, we turn to God and the work of Jesus for help. In Psalm 51 we confess with David: "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin... Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9  Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit." What joy is our when we know the salvation that is ours, and the confidence that His Spirit is at work in us! May the LORD bless your reflection on our depravity and His mercy to you this weekend.

It’s Monday in America, time for The World’s Greatest Political Podcast™: THE LEFT SHOW! This week, JM Bell welcomes JC and Tiffany to the studio to discuss Pride Month, Trans rights, bad management at CBS, and FIFA has regrets, but not in a good way. Trump has given over 2,000 pardons, Mormons aren’t Christians at […] The post 738 The LEFT Show | They Beg Your Pardon appeared first on The LEFT Show.

Chuck Todd opens with an uncomfortable truth Republicans are doing everything possible to avoid acknowledging: Trump turns 80 next week, his physical and mental decline is increasingly visible to anyone paying attention, and the GOP is now repeating exactly the same mistake Democrats made by ignoring Joe Biden's obvious deterioration. The cruelest irony: Trump literally built his entire 2024 campaign on the premise that his opponent was too old and too sleepy to do the job, but Biden's catastrophic debate finally broke the Democratic silence in a way the GOP shows no signs of replicating. Chuck argues Trump's behavior isn't unusual for an 80-year-old — it's deeply unusual for an American president. He warns that Senate Republicans made an enormous mistake by not killing the weaponization fund, that every GOP incumbent up for reelection is now vulnerable to extremely effective attack ads, and that acting DNI Bill Pulte is almost certainly holding that position illegally — the courts will probably step in to declare him ineligible. He previews Tuesday's primaries in Maine and South Carolina, where Lindsey Graham looks genuinely vulnerable, and notes that if Graham gets forced into a runoff, history says he's in real trouble. He's watching how much protest vote Janet Mills picks up in Maine, and on Graham Platner — who has been saying that the war "messed him up" — Chuck offers a pointed observation: just because behavior is explainable doesn't always make it excusable.He closes with a sharp analysis of the Scott Pelley firing at 60 Minutes, arguing the real story isn't Pelley at all — it's the Ellisons, who are using 60 Minutes as a bargaining chip with Trump to get their Paramount merger approved. He believes 60 Minutes is a symbol with massive brand equity, and Trump wants to bring it to heel or topple it altogether. Then, David French — New York Times columnist, veteran constitutional attorney, and one of the sharpest legal thinkers writing today — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a riveting conversation about how the legal system is straining to handle a world being remade by AI, an out-of-control executive branch, and the slow erosion of America's basic constitutional architecture. French opens with the chilling case the Florida Attorney General has now brought against OpenAI in connection with the Florida State University shooter, who asked ChatGPT how to disengage his weapon's safety just three minutes before opening fire. French argues that if ChatGPT had been a human person, it would unquestionably have been charged as a co-conspirator — humans get prosecuted for encouraging suicide all the time — and that when ChatGPT is speaking, OpenAI is legally speaking, full stop. He walks through the murky liability questions the law is now scrambling to answer: Google Search has never been held to the same standard as ChatGPT, but ChatGPT actively generates new speech rather than just pointing users to existing content, and French argues that litigation needs to function as a meaningful deterrent rather than mere compensation — though ultimately Congress is going to have to actually legislate AI regulation rather than leave the entire field to civil lawsuits. The conversation turns to what French sees as a more immediate constitutional crisis: Trump's blanket immunity for tax violations and the "anti-weaponization" slush fund scheme, both of which French argues are flatly indefensible on legal grounds. He explains the deeper problem — Trump suing his own government creates a fiction of an adversarial proceeding when there isn't actually one, and Trump cares far more about the liability shield than the slush fund itself, because he's trying to remove himself from the operation of the law in essentially the same way a king would. The pardon power only covers federal crimes, not civil offenses, and Congress has clear authority to stop this if it had the will. French offers several concrete reforms: require congressional approval for legal settlements above a certain dollar threshold, force members of Congress to obtain a certification in the Constitution itself, and that political parties should perform comprehensive background checks for their candidates, On the question of whether the Founders intended a Christian nation, French is unequivocal: they didn't, and Madison rebuked Christian nationalism explicitly. The deeper structural problem behind the DOJ's loss of credibility is the unitary executive theory itself — Article II of the Constitution is dangerously vague, the executive was never meant to be a co-equal branch (Congress was supposed to be most powerful), and the only durable fix may require constitutional reform to formally remove the DOJ from executive control. French closes on a hopeful note: after every dark period in American history, the country has entered a major era of reform — and he believes one is coming again. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the infamous quote “Have you no sense of decency” from the Army/McCarthy hearings, why McCarthy was one of the first American politicians to master the attention economy, and why that famous quote precipitated the decline of McCarthy’s influence. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Predict the action all the way through the finals.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with the Los Angeles mayoral election slowly being stolen in plain sight, breaking down the New York Post video that tries to explain away helicopter ballot deliveries, six-day postal delays within the same state, and centralized ballot processing as mere quirky California inefficiency. Chris Paul dismantles the "incompetence not malevolence" framing live on air and makes the harder argument: no legitimate government can be formed if no election result is verifiable by anyone. The SAVE Act's chicken and egg problem gets illustrated perfectly by Elon Musk's own posts. Then NSPM 11 drops, revealing two classified directives nobody knew existed, with the AI national security memo prompting a sharp conversation about autonomous warfare and the surveillance implications of AI having access to everything. Trump's pardon of Steven Beyer gets a deep look: it is the only pardon this term where Trump publicly named every recommending official, all current or former elected representatives, and Jon makes the case he is deliberately putting congress members on blast for backing an insider trading conviction. The show closes on the CIA's David Rush, arrested with 303 gold bars, who built a fake continuity of government program inside the CIA while the Washington Post ties itself in knots insisting only five people knew about a program four of them just described to a reporter.

The pardon power that the President has is, as Constitutional prerogatives go, about as absolute as it can be.  Coupled with the friendly majority Donald Trump has on the United States Supreme Court, which gave him immunity from prosecution for many crimes charged in connection with his pardons, and you have what some call a pardon-palooza going on in his second term.  Most egregious to some, like this observer, was the blanket pardon of all those involved in the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol (not to mention the ‘stupid on stilts’ weaponization fund.) Remember when his former Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in her confirmation hearing, said that such pardons would be handled on a case -by- case basis.  President Trump has been doling out pardons for political loyalty, pay-to-play corruption, and even state prosecutions, over which he has no say.  It boggles the mind how far we’ve come from the framers’ intent which was to give the President the ability to show mercy and heal national wounds.  This President isn’t the first to expand its use to miscreants, but as tens of thousands of requests for clemency go unanswered the friends and family plan grows and metastasizes.  Now he’s telling staff not to worry about whatever questionable actions he requests because they will be pardoned on his way out of the Oval Office.  To discuss this trend is Professor Mark Osler of the University of St. Thomas, in Minnesota, an expert on the topic.

Presidents have traditionally waited until their final months in office to give clemency, but just over a year into his second term, President Trump has issued a wave of pardons—including almost 1,600 for January 6th rioters. The New Yorker's Ruth Marcus says Trump has created a quid-pro-quo “pardon economy,” where pardons are sold for political and personal gain. We'll talk with Marcus and a former pardon attorney about why they think Trump is setting a dangerous precedent.

Todd Blanche, the acting U.S. attorney general, told lawmakers during a Senate appropriations hearing that he would not recommend a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime associate who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking crimes. The statement came after Sen. Chris Van Hollen pressed Blanche to commit that DOJ would not support clemency for Maxwell, whose lawyer previously told congressional investigators she would only cooperate if granted clemency. The exchange matters because Maxwell has already exhausted major appellate avenues, including a failed Supreme Court petition, while political speculation has continued around whether she might be offered some form of relief in exchange for testimony about Epstein's network.The hearing also reopened broader questions about DOJ's handling of Maxwell, Epstein records, and survivors. Blanche denied that Trump personally sent him to interview Maxwell last year and said he did not know whether she was receiving better treatment after her transfer from a low-security prison in Florida to a minimum-security camp in Texas, a move experts described as highly unusual. Van Hollen also challenged Blanche over whether DOJ had directly met with Epstein survivors, with Blanche insisting he had met with survivors or their lawyers, while a group of 17 survivors later released a statement saying he had not met with any of them. Their response cut to the core of the controversy: survivors are not just demanding more documents, they are demanding direct answers from the department responsible for years of secrecy, redactions, withholding, and failure around the Epstein case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Todd Blanche says he would not recommend a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell | Ghislaine Maxwell | The Guardian

Most filmmakers dream of making ambitious, big-budget epics once they're able to cash in their "blank check." Peter Weir wanted to make Green Card. Writer and romcom expert Esther Zuckerman joins us to talk about this 1990 oddity, released the same year as Pretty Woman, but centered around the star persona of Gérard Depardieu instead of Julia Roberts. We're talking about the romcom genre, the many attempts to bring international stars to Hollywood, the golden age of Andie MacDowell movies, and the undeniable smokeshow that was early 90s Bebe Neuwirth in this episode.
