Reflecting on Coach Joe Kennedy's Case: A Turning Point for Religious Liberty in America

Are you aware of the monumental impact Coach Joe Kennedy's case has had on restoring religious liberty in America? Join us on an enlightening journey as we delve into the details of his landmark case, and its implications for the resurgence of religious freedom in the United States. As we anticipate Constitution Day, we urge you to take an active role in your local community, church, and political process.  Furthermore, we traverse the critical turning point in Coach Kennedy's case, where the Supreme Court overturned the restrictive 'Lemon Test'. We shed light on the shocking number of cases, over 7, 000, where the 'Lemon Test' stifled individuals from practicing their free exercise of religion. Wrapping up our discussion, we pay tribute to Coach Kennedy's valor and express gratitude to First Liberty and Kelly Shackelford for their relentless battle for religious liberty. Stick with us and stay mindful of the lessons learned, for religious liberty is our strength. Support the show

From Birthright to Executive Orders: A Legal Journey

Unlock the mysteries of citizenship as we journey through the 14th Amendment's historical tapestry with Rick Green, David Barton, and Tim Barton. Discover why birthright citizenship, initially crafted to secure rights for freed slaves, was never meant to extend automatic citizenship to children of non-citizens. We'll dissect how this critical constitutional provision is misinterpreted today, particularly by individuals from countries like Mexico and China, and clarify its original purpose through an insightful exploration of America's legal frameworks. Join us as we navigate the complex terrain of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and its future. We unravel the amendment's tangled history from its inception in the 1970s to its modern-day challenges. Lastly, we look at the prior decision to auction the border wall's unbuilt sections. Through our analysis, we'll emphasize the crucial balance between executive power and constitutional integrity, offering an unbiased perspective grounded in historical truth. Support the show

Exploring U.S. Influence in Gaza and Beyond

Can a bold shift in U. S. policy redefine the balance of power in the Middle East? Join us as we explore President Trump's unexpected declaration of U. S. control over Gaza, a move that has sent shockwaves through international relations. We dig deep into the historical and geopolitical context of this embattled region, from its roots in the British Mandate era to the current complexities involving Hamas and the challenges faced by Palestinian authorities.  Our discussion doesn't shy away from the thorny issues of constitutional authority and foreign interventions, questioning how Trump's policies, like cutting US aid, align with America's interests. We examine the economic and strategic rationales behind supporting Israel, while also tackling the controversial narratives present in American education about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Through the lens of Trump's America First agenda, we weigh the pros and cons of foreign entanglements against long-standing biblical and historical ties that influence policy decisions. Finally, we navigate the historical significance of tariffs and how they have been used as powerful tools in shaping the nation's economic strategies. Reflecting on past presidencies, we consider the implications of Trump's revival of tariffs in today's global arena, using them as leverage in international negotiations. Stay with us as we unravel the complex tapestry of U. S. foreign policy, examining pivotal issues that balance national priorities with global responsibilities, all while anticipating further insights on these matters in our upcoming Foundations of Freedom Thursday discussion.
