    The impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has officially begun. The first hearing was held Thursday. House investigators laid out the evidence to justify the inquiry. But what was likely the most consequential part of this came right after the hearing: an announcement on the next step. They're going after the bank records of Hunter Biden and of President Biden's brother, James Biden. We'll discuss more in this episode of Crossroads.   ⭕️

    A battle is unfolding in the American heartland. It's between the workers and the state. Between the nationalists and the globalists. The populists and the elitist establishment. It's a focal point of the nation. The political debate is now unfolding in Detroit over the autoworkers, the unions, and the future of the nation. We were recently in Detroit for the Biden and Trump speeches to autoworkers. We spoke with union members on both sides of the political aisle to get a better sense of the future of the automotive industry, and what we can expect from union members in the upcoming elections.   ⭕️

    The United Nations General Assembly is bringing together world leaders in an opportunity to address the threats they face. During Tuesday's speeches, many spoke about adversaries of the free world. Among the anticipated speeches was from Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelenskyy. And when he took the podium, the embattled leader who has turned to the world for aid spoke about the threat he believes his nation faces: climate change. Many commentators online were quick to question what Mr. Zelenskyy was talking about. Most people thought he'd be talking about Russia and asking for more aid in the fight against the invasion of Ukraine. Why is he talking about “climate change”? And even more so, how is he trying to link the alleged threat of climate change to Russia? In this episode, we'll explain. ⭕️

    The White House sent out a memo calling on news outlets to “do more to scrutinize House Republicans.” It included 14 pages of talking points for them to use when defending President Joe Biden in the newly launched impeachment inquiry. Its cover email reads like a call to arms for state-controlled news outlets. It says, “It's time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.” Since when does the White House declare that it's time for supposedly independent news outlets to attack its political enemies? It also calls on the media to break from the normal news cycles while launching these attacks. It says they shouldn't cover the impeachment as just a “process story,” where, as it states, coverage may include “Republicans say X, but the White House says Y.” No, instead of covering the news and showing both sides, the memo calls for more active attacks against House Republican leaders.   ⭕️

    It was a day of tragedy 22 years ago on Sept. 11; 2,977 people were killed, and 3,000 children were left without parents. Some of the best people in the nation—first responders—lost their lives trying to save the lives of others. And in the wars that followed, America lost some of its finest young men and women. But something else happened on 9/11. Americans were forced to surrender some of their basic rights. Facing the threat of terror attacks, and amid the 2001 anthrax attacks, President George Bush passed the USA PATRIOT Act, also known as the “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.” The PATRIOT Act raised the question of whether Americans should sacrifice their constitutional rights in exchange for safety. And now, there's a broader social debate on whether an emergency order can override the rights of Americans under the Constitution.   ⭕️

    The legal team of former President Donald Trump is pointing to a post from President Joe Biden, in a current battle over a semi-gag order prosecutors want against President Trump in his third indictment. President Biden posted a video of himself drinking from a mug, using the “Dark Brandon” image. It references a meme, which frames President Biden as a merciless king of the underworld. President Trump's team suggests it could be a veiled threat, similar to President Trump's post stating, “If you go after me, I'm coming after you!” In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss this story and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️

    Special counsel Jack Smith has a trick up his sleeve, and this could allow him to continue rolling out indictments against former President Donald Trump. Under normal circumstances, when a case moves forward and a grand jury is formed, the grand jury is made where the alleged crime happened. But not with Mr. Smith. He's being accused of forming a grand jury in Washington, which is then bringing charges in different states. After bringing charges, it then continues to investigate President Trump, and can keep bringing charges elsewhere. In other news, Elon Musk has launched a legal operation through X, formerly known as Twitter, to defend people's free speech on the platform. Mr. Musk is asking users to bring any cases where they've been punished for content they've posted or liked on X.

    Trump ‘Protective Order' Could Gag Him On Election Fraud and Jan. 6

    Trump's plan to use the latest indictment as a way to expose evidence of election fraud in 2020 may be crushed by the Justice Department. While the case is still going forward, and we can assume that Trump will still use discovery and subpoenas to gain access to evidence, this information is unlikely to see the light of day. Not only that, but if Trump talks about rigged elections or Jan. 6, it's possible he could be charged for violating a court order. They found a way to muzzle him, and it comes in the form of a protective order. Meanwhile, Chinese spies have an odd target: American seeds. Farmers in Iowa recently accused the CCP of stealing genetically modified seeds. This lets China's communist regime bypass any expensive research and development, and undercut the United States on the global food market. ⭕️

    Jordan Peterson Exposes the Postmodernist War On the West

    Six years ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jordan Peterson. This was when he'd just entered the public sphere with a video criticizing political correctness. Now, at the time the interview didn't get much traction as it was before I had “Crossroads” and before Mr. Peterson became as well known as he is now. But those ideas that we discussed—the underlying problems of postmodernism, how it relates to the communist agenda, the destruction of higher education, and the subversion of the values of the West—have only become more relevant now as society becomes more divided. So I've decided to re-release the interview, I hope you all enjoy! ⭕️
