It's Friday, May 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus and Jonathan Clark 180 Christian families denied communal water in India More than 180 Christian families in 32 villages across Chhattisgarh State in central India have reportedly been denied access to communal water sources and livelihood opportunities for the past three weeks as punishment for refusing to leave their Christian faith, reports International Christian Concern. Many Christian families in the Antagarh region of the district have been barred from using community rivers, ponds, taps, and hand pumps. At the same time, Christians have been denied work under a government employment scheme.  2 Timothy 3:12 says, "Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." According to Open Doors, India is the 12th most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Trump's accelerating squeeze on Cuba The Trump administration is bracing for the potential collapse of Cuba's totalitarian government as early as this summer, and has war-gamed new military response plans in case the island descends into chaos, reports Axios. President Trump will keep pushing economic sanctions to try to strangle the regime in Havana in a slow-motion constriction. This methodical squeezing of Cuba's communist regime is also designed to buy time for Trump — who's now engrossed in peace talks with Iran — to eventually focus on Cuba and decide how to bring about change there. The Cuba operation aims to eliminate Latin America's source of Marxist agitation and anti-U.S. activism ever since Fidel and Raul Castro led their successful revolution in 1959. To bring Cuba to its knees this year, the administration first focused on the island's lifeline: Venezuela, which is 1,200-miles south, and its socialist dictator, Nicolás Maduro. Venezuela kept Cuba afloat with shipments of oil that helped power the country and gave it a source of export revenue. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has thyroid cancer Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after her departure from office earlier this year and is now receiving treatment, reports USA Today. Bondi, age 60, was fired by President Donald Trump in April but is set to return to the Trump administration to serve on an advisory committee on artificial intelligence policy as she battles cancer. Thyroid cancer results from malignant cells growing in a person's thyroid gland, the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck that makes hormones, according to the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. These hormones regulate how your body uses energy, including metabolism, heart rate and blood pressure. Jill Biden wondered whether Joe had a stroke mid debate Remember this pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump? BIDEN: “Making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system. Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh, with the COVID, excuse me, with, um, with dealing with everything we have to do with.  Look, if.  We finally beat Medicare!” As First Lady Jill Biden watched her husband stumble through the most cringeworthy portion of his disastrous June 2024 debate, she wondered if he had unknowingly ingested drugs or was having a medical episode on live television. In an upcoming CBS News Sunday Morning interview she said this. JILL BIDEN: “As I watched it, I thought, ‘He's having a stroke!' And it scared me to death.” However, at the time, right after the debate two years ago, Jill Biden said this. JILL BIDEN: “Joe, you did such a great job! You answered every question. You knew all the facts.” In her new biography entitled, View From the East Wing, she was far more candid. She wondered, “Is he short-circuiting? Is this a stroke? I felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged?” According to The Atlantic, which has seen a preview copy ahead of the June release, Jill Biden wondered, “Will people watching assume this is how he is all the time?” Bidens fighting to squelch embarrassing audio recordings Gary Bauer, founder of American Values and the co-host of Family Talk, wrote, “Right now, the Bidens are fighting to prevent closed-door audio recordings of interviews Joe Biden did from being released to the public. Why? Because in those interviews Biden couldn't remember basic events in his life. He couldn't remember when he was vice president. He couldn't remember when his son, Beau, died. He couldn't remember the advice his generals gave him.”   Bauer concluded, “And we all remember what Special Counsel Robert Hur said. Hur did not charge Biden for keeping classified documents because no jury would convict an ‘elderly man with a poor memory.' In other words, Joe was not mentally competent to stand trial.” Teenage worker bees drops to lowest level since 1948 The number of teenagers working jobs this summer is expected to fall to the lowest level since 1948. The consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas predicts teens will gain 790,000 jobs in May, June, and July. That's down from 801,000 last summer. The firm noted, “Rising inflation, climbing oil prices, and a broadly cautious hiring environment are expected to keep the 2026 summer hiring total well below historical averages as employers and consumers rein in spending.” Welsh preacher John Penry pleaded for Welsh evangelism before execution And finally, on May 29,1593, 433 years ago today, Welsh Protestant preacher John Penry appealed for Christian pastors to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Wales shortly before his execution under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. John Penry wept for Wales. He noted that thousands of Welsh had never heard of Christ. He wrote, “O destitute and forlorn condition! Preaching itself in many parts is unknown. In some places, a sermon is read once in three months.” Penry proposed a system of lay pastors supported in part with voluntary gifts from the people. His attack on the neglectful behavior of the Church of England won Penry the undying hostility of John Whitgift, the Archbishop of Canterbury, reports the Christian History Institute. Having become a Puritan Separatist in his thinking, Penry could not accept a state-run system because, "The truth of Christ” could not be in bondage to an “anti-Christian power.” Because of such outspoken views, and his stern warnings to Queen Elizabeth I and her bishops, Penry had to flee. Because he dared to expose the Church of England for its neglect, John Penry was captured and treated to a travesty of justice. Some strong words of warning against the queen in his notebook were interpreted as treason. Archbishop Whitgift was the first to sign his death warrant. Penry was hauled off to be hanged on this day, May 29, 1593. A thin scattering of bystanders, none of them his friends, watched as the 34-year old departed this world at the end of a rope about four in the afternoon. He was not allowed to preach a final sermon. He had, however, written a lengthy letter to his four daughters named Deliverance, Comfort, Safety, and Sure Hope -- who ranged in age between 4 and four months. He implored them to follow the true faith. James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

This Day in Legal History: Black Monday and the End of the NIRAOn May 27, 1935 — a day quickly dubbed “Black Monday” by the press — the United States Supreme Court delivered three unanimous decisions that gutted central pieces of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal in a single morning. The most consequential was A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, in which the Court struck down the National Industrial Recovery Act. The case grew out of the prosecution of a Brooklyn kosher poultry slaughterhouse for violating the “Live Poultry Code,” one of the hundreds of industry codes drafted by trade groups and given the force of federal law by the National Recovery Administration. The Court held that the NIRA's code-making scheme was an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to private actors and the executive, and that the federal government's Commerce Clause authority did not reach the intrastate sale of poultry to local butchers. Justice Cardozo, concurring, famously described the statute as “delegation running riot.”The same day, in Humphrey's Executor v. United States, the Court cabined the President's power to remove members of independent regulatory commissions, a holding that would shape the constitutional status of agencies like the FTC, SEC, and FCC for the next ninety years. And in Louisville Joint Stock Land Bank v. Radford, the Court invalidated the Frazier-Lemke Farm Bankruptcy Act as an uncompensated taking from secured creditors. Roosevelt was, by all accounts, furious — and Black Monday became the proximate cause of his 1937 court-packing plan, which failed in Congress but is generally credited with prompting the “switch in time” that produced the more deferential commerce-clause and administrative-law jurisprudence of Jones & Laughlin Steel and the decades that followed. The nondelegation doctrine the Court announced in Schechter has, famously, not been used to strike down a federal statute since — though it has been the subject of growing interest from the current Court's conservative majority, which makes the ninety-first anniversary of Black Monday more than just a historical footnote.Former President Joe Biden has sued the Department of Justice to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts from his interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, the prosecutor who investigated Biden's handling of classified documents and declined to bring charges. According to the filing, Biden argues that releasing the recordings would skirt federal law restricting disclosure of materials gathered in a special counsel probe, and would effectively turn protected investigative material into political fodder. The suit follows a 2024 Freedom of Information Act action by the conservative Heritage Foundation seeking the same recordings, and comes against the backdrop of repeated efforts by the current administration to make Hur-era material public — efforts the Biden team has argued are intended to embarrass the former president rather than to serve any legitimate investigative or oversight function. The transcripts of the Hur interviews were released back in 2024, but the audio itself has been the subject of executive privilege fights ever since. Worth watching for what the court does with the privilege claims, and for how the Special Counsel regulations are treated now that there is an ex-president on each side of these disputes.Former President Biden sues DOJ over release of interview audio | ReutersThe Trump administration is asking a California federal judge to throw out an expanded challenge to its sweeping reorganization of the federal workforce, calling the litigation a “litigation safari.” In a Friday motion to dismiss filed in AFGE v. Trump, the administration urged Judge Susan Illston to toss a supplemental complaint that broadened the case to cover, among other things, the downsizing of FEMA and a set of forward-looking workforce planning documents the administration issued last October. The original suit, filed in April 2025 by a coalition including the American Federation of Government Employees, SEIU, and the cities of Chicago, Baltimore, and San Francisco, challenged layoffs and reorganizations at more than twenty federal agencies. Judge Illston enjoined the workforce plans last May, but the Supreme Court stayed her injunction in July, and she has since declined to dismiss the case outright.The administration's argument is essentially jurisdictional: that the October planning documents are too tentative to constitute “final agency action,” that there is no specific DHS order behind the FEMA contract lapses the plaintiffs point to, and that individual FEMA terminations must run through the administrative civil-service process rather than land in district court. The “litigation safari” framing — that the plaintiffs are simply “roving the executive branch to explore various employment issues” — is rhetorically catchy but glosses over the more interesting underlying question: how cleanly the Administrative Procedure Act's “final agency action” requirement maps onto a coordinated, rolling, and openly cross-agency reorganization. A ruling on the dismissal motion is expected later this summer.Trump Admin Looks To Ax Expanded Suit Over Staffing Cuts - Law360Billionaire insurance magnate Greg Lindberg was sentenced in the Western District of North Carolina to twelve years in federal prison across two separate criminal cases — eighty-seven months on charges that he tried to bribe the state's insurance commissioner, and 144 months on wire-fraud charges arising from a $2 billion scheme in which prosecutors said he treated the insurance companies he controlled as a personal piggy bank. The sentences will run concurrently. Judge Max Cogburn also entered a preliminary restitution order of $1.6 billion based on a court-appointed special master's recommendation, which Lindberg's defense team described as the largest restitution award in state history.Prosecutors said the scheme harmed more than two hundred thousand victims, most of them elderly annuity holders, at least twenty thousand of whom died before any promised payouts arrived. The bribery case has its own complicated history — Lindberg was first convicted in 2020, had that conviction vacated by the Fourth Circuit in 2022 over faulty jury instructions, and was reconvicted on retrial in 2024. He pleaded guilty to the separate wire-fraud and money-laundering counts in November 2024. Judge Cogburn credited Lindberg's “extraordinary cooperation” with prosecutors and the special master, but also noted, with what reads like real exasperation in the transcript, that Lindberg has continued to file pro se civil lawsuits against the insurance companies he once owned and that the case illustrates how much of our regulatory apparatus can be “bought and sold like sacks of potatoes.” The government had sought roughly fourteen and a half years; Lindberg had asked for four.‘Regretful' Billionaire Gets 12 Years For $2B Fraud, Bribery - Law360The Colorado Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a debt buyer suing a consumer must attach to its complaint a non-affidavit writing that actually shows the buyer owns that consumer's debt — not just a generic bill of sale showing that the buyer purchased some bundle of receivables from the original creditor. The case, Wright v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, involved a $671.29 Victoria's Secret credit-card balance that Comenity Bank had sold to Portfolio Recovery in 2018. Portfolio Recovery's complaint attached a bill of sale and an affidavit identifying the last four digits of Wright's account number, and the lower courts found that sufficient under Colorado's Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The Colorado Supreme Court, in the first opinion authored by recently appointed Justice Susan Blanco, reversed and held the affidavit could not cure a complaint that didn't first satisfy the statute's non-affidavit-writing requirement.The practical consequence is significant: the four largest debt buyers alone filed close to forty thousand cases in Colorado county courts between 2013 and 2015, accounting for around eight percent of the state's county-court civil docket, and many of those complaints have historically relied on exactly the kind of generic bill-of-sale-plus-affidavit packaging the court just rejected. Consumer advocates argue the ruling will help consumers — most of whom never had any relationship with the debt buyer — understand and respond to the suits filed against them; the debt-buying industry will, in the near term, need to retool its pleading practices statewide.Colo.

In 2023 and 2024, there were many things that were unsayable. Perhaps the most unsayable—at least in legacy media circles—was that the President of the United States was not capable of being president, because he was no longer mentally fit. Those people who did break the taboo—who dared to notice Biden's countless gaffes, his stiff gait, those who recognized the reality of old age, including Special Counsel Robert Hur—were written off or smeared. Videos of the president—clips of Biden tripping or misspeaking—were rebranded by The New York Times as “cheap fakes.” People were told to disbelieve their eyes and ears. It's now the spring of 2025. Trump is the president. Biden dropped out. And now the unsayable things are being said—most dramatically in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Tapper, of CNN, and Thompson, of Axios, interviewed more than 200 people for this book, which illuminates Biden's mental decline, his enablers, and how the country was effectively run by committee in the midst of his clear cognitive impairment. For those of us who thought it was bad—it was actually much worse than anyone could have imagined. Alex and Jake have chosen to call the effort to hide Biden's decline a “cover-up.” Those are choice words from two mainstream media insiders, invoking memories of Watergate and Iran-Contra. And the cover-up they are referring to is that of the Biden family and the close circle of advisers around them, many of whom are still delusional about Biden's state. But cover-up might be the word that many Americans would use to describe the press's coverage of Biden. How did ordinary people see more than people with White House press passes? And, what does it all say about human nature, transparency, and groupthink? This is a really illuminating conversation about presidential power, the lengths some will go to keep it, and how the media failed to report the story of a lifetime.

But instead of rethinking policies, Democrats are focusing on tone and messaging. Jim floats the idea of launching his own Gen Z initiative, mainly to fleece naive Democrat donors.Next, they slam the dismal choices facing New York City in the mayoral race, as Democrats with lousy records toward Jewish residents lead the pack. Jim and Greg discuss former GOP New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey's warnings about Andrew Cuomo's empty promises and Zohran Mamdani's poorly concealed hostility, leaving Jewish New Yorkers with little reason for optimism.Finally, they shake their heads in amusement as Democrat Senators Tina Smith and Tim Kaine say they will not apologize to former Special Counsel Robert Hur for publicly trashing him last year after Hur referred to President Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory. Even with the audio clearly vindicating Hur, the Democrats stand by their vicious statements.Please visit our great sponsors:Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/19/2025): 3:05pm- In a statement on Sunday, former President Joe Biden's office announced that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone. In response to the news, President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social: “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.” 3:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel—an oncologist and bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania—said that “there is no disagreement” within the medical community, Joe Biden had cancer while he was president of the United States even if he was only diagnosed last Friday. 3:20pm- Jake Tapper's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline is due to be released later this week—but many Democrats and mainstream media members, including David Axelrod and Brian Steltzer, are saying the conversation regarding the “cover-up” should be paused given Biden's cancer diagnosis. 3:30pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed the “Take It Down Act”—a bill designed to halt the disturbing rise of revenge porn and deep fake imagery. 3:40pm- Ukraine-Russia Peace Negotiations: In a post to Truth Social, President Trump wrote: “Just completed my two-hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of. The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasn't, I would say so now, rather than later. Russia wants to do large scale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic ‘bloodbath' is over, and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth.” 3:45pm- On Friday, audio of former President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur was published by Axios. The audio, from interviews that took place in October 2023, was supposed to determine whether Biden's mishandling of classified documents was criminal. In his final report, Hur decided not to charge Biden with a crime, reasoning: “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” 4:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media including David Axelrod imploring the media to pause all conversations about the Biden Administration's health “cover-up” given the former president's recent cancer diagnosis. 4:40pm- While appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino explained they have reviewed all evidence and concluded that Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death was, as originally reported, a suicide.

Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline: The hosts argue that President Biden exhibited signs of significant mental decline even before taking office in 2021. They cite excerpts from Jake Tapper’s upcoming book and The Atlantic article, which describe Biden’s struggles with memory, attention, and communication during the 2020 campaign and presidency. The Hur Tapes: The podcast discusses the release of audio recordings from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents. The hosts play and analyze segments from the tapes, suggesting they reveal Biden’s inability to recall key facts and events, reinforcing claims of cognitive decline. Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: A breaking news update is shared during the episode: President Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, with metastasis to the bone. The hosts express sympathy but maintain that this does not excuse alleged deception by the administration. Media and Political Accountability: The hosts criticize mainstream media and Democratic officials for allegedly covering up Biden’s condition. They argue that many knowingly misled the public and call for investigations into who was actually running the country during Biden’s presidency. Calls for Transparency and Investigation: The episode ends with a call for congressional hearings to uncover who was making decisions in the White House and to prevent similar situations in the future.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Scot and Greg react to the breaking news of Joe Biden's advanced prostate cancer diagnosis and the new questions it raises about his administration's transparency, the painful recordings of Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur, and shocking attendance failures in Chicago Public Schools that officials keep rewarding.First, they discuss the serious and sad revelation that former President Biden is battling prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. But this news also shines the spotlight even brighter on what Biden and his staff knew while he was president and whether they covered up this health crisis as well as his cognitive decline. And can we believe anything they tell us?Next, Scot and Greg examine the newly released audio from Biden's October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The tapes directly contradict Democrats' spin and support Hur's conclusion that Biden was mentally diminished. Scot also stresses that the recent revelations in books and interviews are just a drop in the bucket and there are still many serious questions that linger. But the Biden team and the media have little incentive to answer them.Finally, they spotlight alarming data out of Chicago, where 25 percent of public school students missed at least 35 days of school last year. That's double the pre-pandemic absentee rate. But somehow graduation numbers continue to rise. Local school officials blame parents for no longer prioritizing in-person school attendance, but Scot and Greg know exactly who is responsible for creating that mindset.Please visit our great sponsors:If I needed to find a doctor quickly, Zocdoc is what I'd use.

[00:30] Witkoff Proclaims Peace While Iran Chants ‘Death to America' (40 minutes) This weekend, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed the nuclear talks with America, calling President Donald Trump a liar while Iranian supporters chanted “Death to America!” U.S. leaders are eager to sit down with terrorists who want to kill them. These diplomats are products of a fundamentally unsound educational system that believes human nature is innately good. [40:30] The Biden Cover-up Continues (15 minutes) News of former President Joe Biden's advanced prostate cancer diagnosis is burying the bombshell disclosures from Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview and Jake Tapper's new book. Biden's doctors have been concealing his true condition for years—possibly as long as a decade.

CNN's Jake Tapper is set to release his book this week about the Biden's cognitive decline.  This follows the Friday release of audio recordings of Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.  However, rather than talking about the cognitive cover-up, the media are focusing on news that Biden suddenly has advanced prostate cancer. Medical experts are saying that the cancer diagnosis had to be known for quite some time.  Is this yet another cover-up?  Plus, James Comey's "86 47" sea shell picture is drawing fire. #BobbyEberle #BidenCancer #BidenAudio

Leaked audio from President Joe Biden’s 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur reveals troubling memory lapses, long pauses, and confusion over key dates, including his son Beau’s death. The audio supports Hur’s controversial portrayal of Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Meanwhile, former President Joe Biden has confirmed that he has an advanced stage of prostate cancer.

We spend a good amount of time going through the released audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden, which was recorded in the fall of 2023. We ask how Axios got tha audio? Also, why the sudden push by the press to throw Joe Biden under the bus? We discuss some possibilities around that as well. A caller also reminds us of the really dumb online post by former FBI Director James Comey, who wants to pretend he didn't know what it meant to ask someone to "86" the current president of the United States of America. But, if he tries to lie under oath, he will likely be caught perjuring himself, in which case he will go to jail. And, if he admits he was putting out a call for an assassination, then he is going to jail. Either way, he is in a bit of a pickle. Back to Biden's utter incompetence, we hear from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) with an ongoing House Oversight Committee investigation into who used the Autopen to sign off on bills, Executive Orders and pardons? This leads Comer to want to depose senior staff and cabinet officials to ask who was really running the country? During the Vulcan Mind-meld, fellow broadcaster BK, from BK on the Air, joins me to discuss some of the influenses in our lives. We then discuss how we didn't list bands or music influences, but will likely have that discussion as a homework assignment for next week.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the best strategies for conservatives to attack the Harris campaign, the DOJ finally forking over transcripts from the Bide classified documents probe, and the latest Secret Service embarrassment.First, they praise Pennsylvania U.S Senate hopeful David McCormick's attack ad that ties his opponent, incumbent Democrat Bob Casey, to Kamala Harris and her radical positions on energy, immigration, health insurance, and much mores. Jim analyzes the pros and cons that the Harris campaign has to work with, and formulates a plan of attack for conservatives.Next, they sigh at the Justice Department' suddenly releasing transcripts from President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur after Biden has stepped down from the presidential race. Jim mocks them for their reasoning behind noncompliance with FOIA requests before Biden dropped out.Finally, they react to the news that the U.S. Secret Service is requesting that Donald Trump not hold outdoor rallies anymore because of the danger they pose. Jim isuggests Trump probably ought to agree just to be on the safe side. But he is far more disheartened that the Secret Service is is admitting that it is not competent enough to keep Trump safe at such rallies.Please visit our great sponsors:Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order. Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout to save 15%.

And, what does God's Word say about this?What does God's Word say? 2 Timothy 3:1-5 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Alvin Bragg is relying on a porn actress and serial convicted liar to prove an undefined federal campaign violation that was never pursued by the feds, where Bragg has no jurisdiction, which supposedly resuscitates an expired state bookkeeping misdemeanor statute, and turns it into a felony? This is absolute insanity. The Manhattan case against Donald Trump is a gross miscarriage of justice being executed by a judge and a government through their prosecutors, and if they do not figure out how to put this back in the box it will destroy the judicial system and our electoral system. The Supreme Court needs to decide if Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis can change the nature of our Republic and the separation of powers in our country.  President Biden has unconstitutionally invoked executive privilege over Special Counsel Robert Hur audio recordings in order to protect his image and deny the House of Representatives access.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, President Biden has unconstitutionally invoked executive privilege over Special Counsel Robert Hur audio recordings in order to protect his image and deny the House of Representatives access. The full force of the Department of Justice is being used to prevent the House from accessing this information which could potentially lead to an impeachment. When it comes to the core functions of government the Framers of our Constitution would not recognize this government today because we barely live in a Constitutional Republic. We have a lawless government and a lawless media that supports it, which is why Republicans must win this election and stop this Democrat Marxist totalitarianism. Also, Biden removed Cuba from the list of terrorist states despite their ties to Hamas and the terrorist regime in Iran. The Biden Administration has shown they are anti-American and anti-Israel while siding with our enemies like Iran. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Donald Trump's lawyers press Michael Cohen on his credibility in the former president's hush-money trial. The White House blocks the release of audio recordings from President Joe Biden's deposition with Special Counsel Robert Hur. NBC News Pentagon Correspondent Courtney Kube explains how the U.S.-installed floating dock system could deliver critical humanitarian aid to Gaza. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) discusses security concerns in Israel. Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade talks about fights over abortion rights in her state.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan says they have referred Michael Cohen to DOJ for lying to Congress. All of the cases against President Trump are falling apart. Smith, Bragg and Willis all brought charges against Trump after he announced he was running for President, which tells you it's all a political operation. Jordan says the irony is that Smith mishandled documents while accusing Trump of mishandling documents, some might call it tampering with evidence. Jordan says his Committee is demanding Special Counsel Robert Hur's videoed interview with Biden because they've already caught the White House altering a transcript and Americans have a right to know Biden's fitness to be President.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer last month released a statement after the DOJ rebuffed his committee's request for the audio recordings.  “The Biden Administration does not get to determine what Congress needs and does not need for its oversight of the executive branch,” Comer said.

In February, Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report declining to prosecute President Biden for his handling of classified material. Earlier this month, Hur testified before the House Judiciary Committee answering questions from irritated members on both sides of the aisle who were critical of Hur's work. Hur's report and its fallout have reignited long-simmering questions about the usefulness of the special counsel as an institution. Lawfare Research Fellow Matt Gluck sat down with an all-star crew of Lawfare regulars—Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes, Lawfare Co-Founder and Harvard Law School Professor Jack Goldsmith, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic, and Lawfare Contributing Editor and former career federal prosecutor Chuck Rosenberg—to break it all down. They discussed the history of the special counsel institution and its predecessors, its current flaws, and how it should change. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.

The House is expected to vote Wednesday on a bill that could force the Chinese owners of TikTok to sell the social media platform or face a ban on U.S. app stores.

President Biden on Monday unveiled his $7.3 trillion budget proposal for the next fiscal year. He calls for new spending to lower the cost of healthcare, housing and childcare, and wants to offset it by raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. The proposal as it stands now has little chance of passing a divided Congress, but is the basis for negotiations and also serves as a campaign promise for his reelection.A settlement over Florida's so-called “Don't Say Gay and Trans” bill means teachers and students can talk about gender identity and sexual orientations in classrooms again. Kind of. Both sides are calling it a win.And in headlines: Trump asks to delay the Manhattan trial in his hush money case, Special Counsel Robert Hur testifies in front of Congress about his investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents, and could next month's total solar eclipse make some animals extra randy?

In a last-ditch effort to delay, delay, delay- Donald Trump's legal team submitted a motion on Monday to pause the New York trial on election interference (a.k.a. the ‘hush money' case) until the Supreme Court decides on immunity. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break that down, and how it differs from the motion to dismiss the Florida classified documents case. Then, they highlight the $91 million bond posted by the former president in the E. Jean Carroll case, as he appeals that decision. And a look behind the curtain as Special Counsel Robert Hur testifies before the House Judiciary Committee about his report on Biden's handling of classified documents. Lastly, on the radar: an Arizona grand jury issues subpoenas in that states' fake elector scheme.  

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were once again joined by co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Constitutional Annoyance.” Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Anderson, the case weighing whether former President Trump's involvement in Jan. 6 should disqualify him from being able to stand as a candidate in 2024 under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. And the justices, for once, seemed almost unified in their skepticism of the idea that he should be—though there was far less agreement as to why. Where is this case headed? And what will its ultimate impact be on the 2024 election and beyond?“Putting the Hur(t) On.” Special Counsel Robert Hur completed his investigation into President Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents last week and, while he opted not to bring any charges, his lengthy final report has caused a stir: not just for laying out Biden's apparent mishandling of classified documents over an extended period of time but also for citing Biden's advanced age and apparent memory issues as grounds for not prosecuting—observations that have reignited anxieties regarding Biden's capacity to stand for reelection. Was Hur out of line or just doing his job in making these observations? And how will his conclusions impact events moving forward, including the prosecution of former President Trump for his own mishandling of classified documents?“‘I Can't Pay the Rent,' ‘But You Must Pay the Rent!'” Former President Trump has resumed his role as enforcer over the defense spending level of NATO members, suggesting most recently that he would encourage Russia to do whatever it wants with any members who fail to meet their commitments—comments that have triggered new anxiety over how NATO may fare in a second Trump presidency. How serious are these comments? What should folks be doing in response?For object lessons, Alan recommended the weirdness of Donald Glover's new spy remake, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." Quinta urged listeners to check out a recent New York Times piece on "How Mark Meadows Became the Least Trusted Man in Washington." Scott mourned the end of football season by endorsing the sportsfan comedy of Annie Agar. And Ben announced that he had completed his quest to identify the worst rhetorical question headline ever.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.
