The Livewire Politics Podcast

Today's episode will lay out a comprehensive pro-life argument for the 21st century. We'll focus on our current understanding of embryology, bio-ethics, abortion as a civil rights issue, and how we can properly define what it means to be a member of the human family. If you already agree with the pro-life proposition and are searching for arguments to defend your position, this episode is for you. If you are on the fence, yet curious to know if there is more to the issue than what is projected in the media, this episode is for you. I hope you find this episode helpful, informative, and heartfelt.Resources:Scientific Paper (When does life begin): https://www.embryodefense.org/MaureenCondicSET.pdfPro-life Arguments from Science: https://www.focusonthefamily.com/pro-life/becoming-pro-life/pro-life-arguments-explained-part-1/The Miracle of Fetal Development: https://www.hli.org/resources/miracle-fetal-development/Hard Case Numbers: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/05/24/rape-and-incest-account-few-abortions-so-why-all-attention/1211175001/Planned Parenthood: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/07/23/racism-eugenics-margaret-sanger-deserves-no-honors-column/5480192002/NYC Abortion vs Birth rates: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2016/09/04/politifact-in-new-york-city-black-womens-abortions-outnumber-births/10071450007/Post Abortion Mental Health: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/abortion-tied-to-sharp-decline-in-womens-mental-health/A secular argument for being pro-life: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/02/hitchens200302Dr Levatino Testimony to Congress:https://youtu.be/OZXQBhTszpUSupport the show (http://patreon.com/livewirepolitics)

This is the second installment of "Flatten the Curve | Life After Covid" which was recorded in May of 2020. I took another listen to that episode with a fresh set of ears and came to the immediate conclusion that I was dead wrong on some predictions and incredibly naive on others. I was hopeful we would use the pandemic to restore trust in our institutions and create a strong sense of national identity. On this episode I lay out the pivotal moment when Covid messaging was lost and credibility never recovered.. This episode will bring the fire to the White House, CDC, Mainstream Media, and Big Tech. All references from this episode are available at Livewirepolitics.orgHappy listening! Support the show (http://patreon.com/livewirepolitics)

Today's episode will cover a list of government conspiracies that are actually true. We first set the table and define the differences between “conspiracy” and “conspiracy theory.”Every event discussed on this episode is a verified fact ; however, this was not always the case. That's because as the years pass, secrets surface and what was once considered a “theory” now becomes a verifiable fact. Government documents eventually become declassified, and through the Freedom of Information Act, "we the people" are able to obtain clarity of high level and often times elaborate schemes and conspiracies. These events --along with others-- have shaped our history and have contributed to public distrust in both government and our institutions at large.  This episode will cover the following events:Operation Sea Spray: US Navy sprayed bacteria over the San Francisco Bay Area in California. Project MKultra: CIA's top secret mind control program.The 1953 Iranian coup d'état: US and UK intelligence agencies stage riots and install regime change.The Gulf of Tonkin Incident: The fictitious attack which drastically expanded the Vietnam War. Operation Northwoods: The proposed “false flag” to invade CubaThe Tuskegee Syphilis Study: US Government lied about treating black men with syphilis for four decades.Government Sponsored Poisoning: The US Department of the Treasury poisoned alcohol during Prohibition.Bonus Round:Bayer knowingly sold blood-clotting agents infected with HIV to Asia and Latin America in the 1980s.Resources:The Tuskegee Syphilis Study: https://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/timeline.htmOperation Sea Spray: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/1950-us-released-bioweapon-san-francisco-180955819/The 1953 Iranian coup d'état: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB435/#_ftn1Gulf of Tonkin Incident: https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2008/february/truth-about-tonkinMK Ultra: https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/hearings/95mkultra.pdfhttps://www.history.com/topics/us-government/history-of-mk-ultrahttps://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/hearings/95mkultra.pdfOperation Northwoods: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/news/20010430/northwoods.pdfBayer Scandal: https://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/22/business/2-paths-of-bayer-drug-in-80-s-riskier-one-steered-overseas.html?pagewanted=allSupport the show (http://patreon.com/livewirepolitics)

America is on the move like never before. For many, the driver is as much political as it is economic. According to the U.S. Census Bureau; California, New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Illinois lost a combined 4 million residents between 2010 and 2019. The term "Leftugee" has been coined to describe citizens who are leaving predominately Blue States for Red States. On this episode, we will be covering the top five reasons why this might be the case and uncover a few interesting (and strange) findings along the way. For example, in California, consumers pay a 33% tax on fruit when it's purchased from a vending machine. Visit Livewirepolitics.org for a full list of references form this episode. Happy Listening! Support the show (http://patreon.com/livewirepolitics)

The US/Mexico border has quickly turned into a public-health calamity, humanitarian catastrophe, and a national-security crisis. The current statistics are staggering and unprecedented — but behind the numbers sits a vast criminal enterprise profiting off the lives of human beings. US-Mexico criminal organizations earned nearly $14M a day last month trafficking women, children, families and single adults. Many migrants are subject to “debt bondage” which equates to indentured  servitude once they've entered the US. This occurs when migrants agree to work off a debt they have accrued. Traffickers then continue to compound interest and other charges to what appears to be a simple employment agreement.  Trafficking and human smuggling is a multi-billion dollar criminal business operated by the cartels and their money is washed by Chinese money brokers. Chinese banks have emerged to become key players in laundering money for Latin American drug cartels. These conditions create a perfect storm of vulnerability — and the stories of abuse and sexual violence are enough to stain your soul. Nearly 70% of migrants travelling north to the United States are victims of violence (2019 WH Report).Border security and immigration are often conflated into a singular talking point — however, they are two distinct issues and require separate examination. We cannot continue to engineer conditions under which nefarious actors and prey on and profit from other human beings.

On today's episode we examine the impacts of the so called "Tax the Rich" movement in American politics. It's an argument that has been going on since the 1920's and the basic justifications have not changed.  Is there any evidence that lowering tax rates increases tax revenues? Preview: "The rich," higher-income taxpayers paid more — I repeat, MORE tax revenues into the federal treasury under the lower tax rates than they had under the previous higher tax rates. Buckle up for a wild ride! Support the show (http://patreon.com/livewirepolitics)

It's been nearly 200 years since the US Capital has been breeched. While most Americans were shocked at the events which unfolded, we shouldn't be surprised. A lethal combination of misinformation and rage led to an embarrassing moment for our great republic. This episode provides a commentary; double standards, poor leadership, and the growing suppression of a much needed conversation. WE THE PEOPLE will survive.

We live in a nation with more guns than citizens. The subject of gun control is a hot button topic which has been at the forefront of our political discussions since 1791 when the United States Constitution was ratified to include the second amendment. In today's episode, we breakdown the history of gun control measures, what the second amendment actually means, and if the 40k/year gun death statistic stands accurate when pressed for examination.

 Ever heard of the term “echo chamber?” Researchers have coined this term to represent the growing number of communities who only associate themselves with like-minded friends and tend to not interact with those of an opposing viewpoint.  Nearly 6 in 10 American adults get news on social media. Social media has changed the rules in today's political landscape and limited attention spans have negatively impacted our ability to consciously and sincerely process information.
