A War on the First Amendment

from Lost Debate · host The Branch

Ravi dissects the assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about America’s escalating era of political violence. He examines the FBI’s failures, the right’s contradictions on free speech, and the Trump administration’s use of state power against ideological opponents. The episode also looks at media consolidation, TikTok’s looming takeover, foreign AI entanglements, and the widening economic divide in the U.S. Ravi closes by connecting these crises to global flashpoints—from Navalny’s poisoning to U.S. immigration raids—warning that the erosion of democratic norms may be as dangerous as any single act of violence. -- Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 201-305-0084⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Ravi at @RaviMGupta Notes from this episode are also available on Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Read more from Ravi on Substack: https://realravigupta.substack.com  Follow The Branch at @thebranchmedia Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-debate/id1591300785 Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xR9pch9DrQDiZfGB5oF0F

C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.)

This podcast will help you hear from God so you can be clear on what He’s calling you to do, and understand how to partner with God so you can see Him work with and through you!Hey, I’m Victor. For many years, I tried to be the ”perfect” Christian, but my relationship with God was lost in religion and legalism. I always found myself wondering if I would ever know what God’s plan was for me but it was hard to hear God’s voice.I realized that if I was going to know God’s calling and become who He created me to be that I’d need to grow in His knowledge and experience being a disciple of Jesus myself. I got in the Word and learned how God’s way and strategy fit ME. Now I am confident that I can run after His call for me and I can have the full life He wants me to. And I’m ready to share w Soul Mamas - Remedies for the Grieving Heart Lori Carhart & Karen Russell Two Mothers navigate the intense grief of the loss of a child in real time.
