Judging Freedom

303

A daily discussion of news from the perspective that government is the negation of liberty, and the individual is greater than the state. Judge Andrew P. Napolitano is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Notre Dame Law School. He is the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the State of New Jersey. He sat on the bench from 1987 to 1995, when he presided over more than 150 jury trials and thousands of motions, sentencings, and hearings.

As Fox News’ Senior Judicial Analyst from 1997 to 2021, Judge Napolitano gave 14,500 broadcasts nationwide on the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. He is nationally known for watching and reporting on the government as it takes liberty and property.

The Judge is the author of nine books on the U.S. Constitution, two of which have been New York Times Best Sellers. His most recent book, SUICIDE PACT: The Radical Expansion of Presidential Powers and the Assault on Civil Liberties.

    You need a studio!
    Sound quality poor. Can barely make out the conversation with all the background noise. 5 stars for content, 3 stars for production quality. I'm a liberal dem and i enjoy the fairness of the judge's commentary. I subscribe and listen to every episode.
  • Ltz977
    Very informative on curent events
    This podcast has great guests and is super informative about global conflicts in current times. I really enjoy and take away a lot from it. The host is great and the guests are great. I always learn so much, and it is all very fact based as well. One of the most informative podcasts available for current global conflicts and events.

    Truth
    Those in power are afraid of you knowing the truth. They work tirelessly to keep the American people in the dark while spreading disinformation. The Judge is piercing through that with his interviews. The censors are working overtime. Listen while you still can.
  • comedian dave smith
    The guests make the show!
    Loads better than any of the major news outlets in the US that are always accusing people of fake news and disinformation, which ironically but not shocking to anyone with an IQ over room temperature is all they themselves purvey!!
  • jimbo99xx
    Balance needed
    I like the show, especially when you talk to Gerald Celente. Peace is certainly something that we all want and pray for. But in my opinion, I believe you need to balance to show out with people like Sebastian Gorka and JR Nyquist, who have a far different opinion about what’s going on with the communist conspiracy and are not fans of Douglas McGregor or Scott Ritter. I would say to reach out to those individuals for their opinion about the political situation going on right now.
  • S.T.sailor
    Easily the best.
    Totally perfect blend of sincerity, commonality, thoughtfulness, participation by the host/ & guest every time! It is quite wonderful.

    Phil Donahue / Bill Oreily
    Thanks for the reminder of what a good man Donahue was… and alternatively what a loud mouth buffon Oreilly was and continues to be to this day. Note that your way off in terms of 2013…it was more like 2007 or at the latest 2008. Donahue was was long a media pariah by 2013.
  • Darling Tonia
    Crucial Information!
    GREAT interviews with fantastic guests. This is information that needs to be known far and wide —too much of what you will hear here is not disseminated in mainstream media. please listen and share. And the accusation made by a reviewer that this is an anti-Jewish podcast is pure baloney; half of the guests are Jewish!
  • Budskins
    Great show!
    His guests keep it real in ways that can be scary at times but always authentic and experienced guests. Special emphasis on guests from military and/or diplomatic backgrounds.
  • SmeddyMutt
    Needed perspectives but short and shallow
    The show is too frequent and the episodes too short to be anything much beyond surface layer.

    Anya Parampil, her call for unity
    Anya just gave the best call for unity of all students against their common enemy- the mafia-like power broker running the country. All those students calling for an end to genocide need to support the J6ers and rid of us this corrupt amoral deep state in the US. Judge, thank you for hosting Anya, Aaron, and Max, and Ray, Larry, Phil, and all your regulars. You are a great person.
  • Dani from NY
    Honest view of middle east
    One of the best news shows exposing everyone to the reality of the Ukraine war, western hypocrisy and the conflict in the middle east. I love his interviews and his willingness to have candid discussions regarding the insanity and horror enacted by Israel and its military. Bravo.
  • umustbekrazy
    Great Show
    I enjoy the show and his guest. I do however love the comments sprouting up in full support of Israel. How Jews hate the truth!

    The Daily Jewhater Podcast
    The daily Jew Hater Show. Every single guest is a vile anti Israel extremist Jew hater. Judgenap has become Father Coughlin.
  • Tokyodave24
    Great format for the judge
    I did not watch the judge on Fox News much because he was seemingly limited to the daily talking points, but I really enjoy his podcasts, and I find him to be a very good interviewer and orchestrator of conversation
  • AV9588
    Balanced Honest and Ethical
    I listen to Judge Napolitano often and found his guests and analysis carefully chosen to give a true procure and context. Well worth my valuable time to better understand the world we are living in.
  • Cinefile
    Not Actually a Crank
    I never heard him on Fox because I assumed everyone on Fox is a crank. But he’s not and the guests are First Rate.
  • Jarhead Hoosier
    Too partial … lack of balance…
    Judge … please find another source of information regarding Gaza, other than Hamas. Stop spouting Hamas propaganda and find impartial sources … this is hurting the reputation of your program

  • AntiJihadXI
    Judge ignores Islamic doctrinal roots of jihad against West and Israel
    The judge ignores the Islamic doctrines Hamas and other Islamic jihadists use to justify their actions. Gaza was not and is not an “open air prison” as the Judge and Ritter mistakenly claim. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Israel left 14 million dollars worth of greenhouses in Gaza, and Gaza gets billions in international aid. What did the Gazans do with this largesse? They elected Hamas, Hamas bought advanced rockets, grenade launchers, turned the greenhouses into weapons storage facilities, and deceived Israel with a ceasefire into letting its guard down so after two years of planning, Hamas could behead babies, rape women, burn people alive, and gauge people’s eyes out. Israel did not “provoke this” Hamas attack as the Judge claims. In Islamic doctrine, once a land is Islamic it is always Islamic and the end times in Islamic doctrine can only occur once the Jews have been eliminated. Hamas(and other Muslim jihadists) cite these doctrines. The Judge (and Ritter) ignore this. The Koran also contains multiple verses saying the Jews are “vile”. One verse even says the Jews are the “descendants of apes and pigs”. Not every Muslim believes this stuff but enough do and, especially in Gaza and much of the Middle East. Thus negotiation is not possible with such people. The Judge (and Ritter) also just seem to accept civilian casualty figures given by Hamas as Gospel and then they rail against Israel after they have bought Hamas propaganda. I agree with the Judge (and Ritter) on Ukraine but I turned off the Judge after listening to his misanalysis of the Israel/Hamas situation and failure to understand the primary role adherence to certain aspects of Islamic doctrine is playing (the Judge and Ritter aren’t the only ones who have misanalysed this situation but I can’t stomach listening to misplaced claims about Israel anymore—-there is enough of that garbage on mainstream media channels)

    Truth about wars that US is involved in
    If you want to listen to a podcast that serves up facts and the transparent truth about foreign wars that the US is involved in, this is the only podcast to listen to.
  • Beantown Billy Goat
    Very good, but…
    It’s a great show, just would like to see a bit more broader coverage/analysis of other topics in the world beside Ukraine and Israel. Yes those are deadly important but there are lots of things going on. I’d love to hear some investing/economic type of guests talking about something like ton-miles in shipping and how Yemen affects that or a deep dive into Argentinian prospects right now or a deep dive into the failures of Prime Minister Meloni. Not economically focussed but migrant wave focussed. Great replacement guests would be appreciated as well. Thank you Judge. And yes Bill O’Rielly is a terrible person and unamerican filth that sold us out like all these talking heads. Loves that neocon money. Judge Nap is one the only around from Fox that has proven to be a truly stand up act. Thank you sir 🫡
  • C_Cali1
    Bill O’Reilly is still an Uninformed Propagandist
    The Hubris and Arrogance of Bill O'Reilly masks his ignorance and stupidity on many topics. Repeating lies and talking points that have no basis in reality is in full display in this discussion with the Judge.
  • mgadl
    Great judging
    This is my go-to podcast to get concise, alternative expert opinions on the various wars and interventions supported or created by the American empire.

    Like the way the judge asks questions methodically getting assisting guests to elucidate their positions. Recommend adding dr Micheal Hudson & Col Andrew Bacevich

    Mandatory listening for libertarians
    Now that Reason magazine, Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson and many other so called “atheists” libertarians showed their true dogmatic religious facist position in the Israel Genocide there are only a few sources of factual, accurate and rational reporting and the Judge is one of the few torches of freedom left.
  • Crusher Mike
    The Best Judge!
    Judge Napolitano is genuinely a very nice person. I met him a few times, on the set of Fox & Friends. Always a Big Hello from him, a brief conversation and Nice to See You, Again!

    VOICES in The Wilderness!
    I don't know how I stumbled onto this podcast, but I sure am glad I did! The guests; while repeating, are worth hearing from over and over. I am so happy to see that "The Adults" are indeed still talking. I especially love the military men and retired OGA. I always liked you Judge. Well done!
  • oksweetdude27
    Great show
    Judge puts a ton of effort into his show, bringing multiple compelling guests in for segments everyday. It is so over for Fox, CNN and the rest of the corporate press. P.S. Tony Shaffer is such a blood-soaked disgusting person, I can't stomach seeing him on tv.
  • LifeLongLearner-1
    Some good, but too much crazed ranting
    The host and some guests are very anti-US and anti-western culture in general. I had hoped for a source of thoughtful contrarian perspectives. The host and some guests are disgraced Americans who have an axe to grind.
  • c_villeez
    “Michael Rectenwald” episode not correctly titled.
    The Michael Rectenwald episode is actually an episode with Mearscheimer. Just thought I’d bring that to your attention so you can correct. Other than that, great show!! The Judge is a refreshing voice of freedom and reason amongst our crazy, authoritarian world.

    Fantastic
    JudgeNap is by far the most listened to podcast on my app. His knowledge of the constitution and they way he explains the “news of the day” and it’s implication to our founding documents is easy to follow and understand. Liberty, Freedom, and Justice for ALL. Thanks Judge!
  • Evan Stevoid
    Judge Nap lacks credibility
    You are lost. You are so full of crap it is amazing. You are no better than Trump is. You are also a narcissistic blowhard. You have such a high opinion of yourself and maybe it’s because you were a judge and got was believed even when you were completely wrong. If you were a judging your assertions honesty you would know that you leap to conclusions without evidence. Yes, I expected more honesty from you, but you do nothing except disappoint. You are so biased and twisted that you remind me of many neocons who are also twisted. You and your collection of slighted misfits you have on are simply shills. You are too stupid to realize that you are being used. There is a middle ground between the lies from the USA regime and the lies from the Russian regime. You promote the lies from one side because the other side lies without realizing that the other side also lies.
