It's time for Justice Matters with former federal prosecutor and legal analyst, Glenn Kirshman.

Today, Glenn speaks with military law expert Professor Dan Mauer on his important new piece called Fighting on Three Fronts, the U.S. military's war with itself. That's coming up next on

Justice Matters. Hey, I'm John Fuglesang. Do you ever watch these Christian nationalists

and right-wing fundamentalists on TV and think, Jesus Christ, these people are the opposite of Jesus Christ.

You know, Christianity was supposed to be about love and service, but millions of Americans

have grown up to find their nice religions been hijacked by this mean, authoritarian, tax-free

click.

I wrote a book about how these right-wingers aren't actually on the side of Jesus, and historically, they never have been. Separation of Church and Hate, a sane person's guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalists, fascists, and flock-pleasing frauds. It's a very irreverent and biblically correct book for believers, atheists, agnostics, and anybody who's ever going to have to deal with a Christian extremist in your family, workplace, or government.

On all the issues that divide us, using actual verses from that book they claim to follow,

they've got a First Amendment right to twist the Bible to their liking.

You've got a First Amendment right to call them out for it, and you'll be surprised at how good it feels.

So, Fred, how good it feels. So friends, Donald Trump's lawlessness in the way he's using the United States military

is endangering our military members, our troops.

And Trump's unlawful killing of human beings in international waters

is creating a situation where the U.S. military is at war, at least figuratively speaking, with itself.

I just sat down to discuss this topic with law professor and military law

expert Dan Maurer, who authored an important new piece titled Fighting on Three Fronts, the U.S.

military's war with itself. So friends, I hope you enjoy this conversation with law professor

and retired Army Jag Lieutenant Colonel Dan Maurer. Welcome, everybody.

We have our friend Dan Mowerback, law professor, military law expert, international law, expert, retired Army, Jag, Lieutenant Colonel.
