Send us fan responses! What if the “law” you feel crushed by is mostly contract—and you've been signing into it with your words, your paperwork, and your presence? We sit down with Don Kilam to pull apart the threads of child support, court process, and identity, and we follow the paper trail to where power really lives: status, trusts, and the private side of life.We start with a hard question: if there's no injured party, is it a crime—or is it commerce? From there, Don lays out how Title IV, Social Security, and public trust mechanisms shape how child support is enforced. He explains why public vs private isn't a slogan; it's a structural decision. Private families operate through trusts, foundations, and contracts they author. Public roles rely on statutes and policies designed for the general welfare. We explore making your name a business, using holding companies, and drafting operating agreements that function like constitutions for your entities.The conversation gets tactical. Affidavits, not emotions, move records. Unrebutted statements can become facts. Certified mail matters. Ask for delegation of authority. Keep everything as exhibits. We interrogate jurisdiction signals like flags and titles, discuss how labels can trap you into statuses you didn't intend, and walk through strategies that have led to case dismissals, reduced exposure, and better protection of income and assets. Don also shares why real wealth is time, health, and people—and why cash, silver, and trustees still matter when systems stall.If you've felt the system is a costume party you never meant to attend, this is your invitation to change clothes. Learn how to author your contracts, correct your status, and protect your family with practical tools and a clearer map of public vs private.

‘I believe so profoundly in the separation of church and state, and in the dangers of theocracy creeping into the corners of a democracy'BBC Music Correspondent Mark Savage speaks to US singer-songwriter, producer and performer Brandi Carlile about the personal and political stories behind her songs.An LGBTQ icon, she sets out her fears about the threat to same-sex marriage in today's United States, and the impact that has had on her own family. And she shares the strain her own sexuality put on her relationship with her mother while growing up in rural America. It was country music, she says, that brought them together.Brandi Carlile has won eleven Grammy awards, been nominated for an Oscar, and worked with Elton John and Joni Mitchell. Now releasing her eighth album, she reveals she went into the studio with no songs prepared, only feelings and nostalgia, resulting in a deeply personal record reflecting on childhood memories, parenthood and politics.

Send us fan responses! The path out of confusion starts with a simple move: treat your name like a business and your family like an institution. We open the playbook on status correction, private trusts, and the holding-company-over-operating-company stack that separates your life from your liabilities. From 508(c)(1)(A) associations to family trusts that actually govern, we walk through the documents, the minutes, and the benefits that let you stop co-mingling and start building.You'll hear how stipends, fringe benefits, and internal shares can offset housing, vehicles, healthcare, and education without turning every dollar into a tax trap. We unpack promissory notes to move assets into a trust at fair market value, then redeem value later—exactly how corporations do it. We also dig into practical identity tools: affidavits of birth, DS-10, and baptism certificates as alternative proofs accepted by federal processes, plus why the family bible should function as your private ledger for life events. It's not theory; it's recordkeeping that stands up.On the public-to-private bridge, we highlight grants, first-time homebuyer plays, chamber of commerce workshops, and direct talks with bankers to clean reports and secure financing. We talk courtroom posture, child support tactics, and staying in honor: respond on time, put affidavits on the record, avoid forced contracts, and document everything. The throughline is discipline—clean books, clear roles, and a beneficiary strategy that points to a family trust or charity, not to children directly—so stewardship outlives you.If you're ready to move from public dependency to private legacy—with holding companies, trusts, and documented governance—this conversation gives you the structure and the steps.

When you try to discredit the Son of God with an argument, you will lose every time.
Send us fan responses! The fastest way to lose your power is to give it away with your signature. We unpack how that happens every day—through forms, licenses, and registrations—and what it takes to reclaim control with private trusts, family covenants, and clear jurisdiction. From the opening beat, we ground the conversation in value-for-value boundaries, the reality that time is a resource, and why your name already functions like a business in the public.We walk through the practical effects of operating under a public trust tied to labor, then flip the lens to the private side: contracts, covenants, and family law that predate corporate governance. You'll hear how to think like a private family, not a public dependent; why nationality and allegiance matter; and how lineage, records, and tribal identity anchor your authority. We explore concrete steps: document your family story, keep internal agreements, and build entities that manage assets, disputes, and succession on your terms. Along the way, we preview our Atlanta training with trust attorneys, credit experts, and private practitioners teaching status correction, 508(c)(1)(a) structures, holding companies, offshore options, and grant strategy.Money talk gets real when it meets accounting. We break down why every debt is an account, how GAAP fundamentals protect you, and where contract law intersects with liability assignment, business credit, and lawful tax credits. You'll leave with a sharper map: when to stay private, when to interface with the public, and how to keep clean books that reflect intent, not chaos. If you've felt the gap between hard work and lasting wealth, this conversation connects the dots between structure, status, and legacy.Ready to operate with clarity and build a protected family enterprise?

Here in the United States, the principle that church and state should be separate is so woven into the fabric of our culture, many take it for granted as a fact of American life. We understand that everyone in the nation is entitled to practice the religion of their choice and worship freely, but also that the nation does not have an official religion, and that civic spaces should be religiously neutral. Yet not everyone in the United States is committed to this long-standing idea. Both Christian nationalists and Catholic integralists dislike the idea that religion and statecraft should be kept separate. Some want to make Christianity the state religion. Others would like to use the force of government to enforce certain practices and ban others, based not on natural law or the constitution, but on their interpretation of their denominational creeds. So it's not surprising that some political thinkers have been raising the alarm, warning that the boundary between church and state is in jeopardy. What Catholics ought to think about this, however, is a different question. After all, our allegiance is to God first, before the state. And as people involved in public life, why wouldn't we want to use whatever tools are in our grasp—including the tools of governance—to create a society more aligned with Catholic principles? On this episode of Glad You Asked, the hosts talk to political philosopher and activist Stephen Schneck about where the idea of separation of church and state came from, and what Catholics should think about it. Schneck is retired faculty at the Catholic University of America, where he served as Director of the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies. Under President Obama he served on the White House Advisory Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. He is on the board for Catholic Climate Covenant, Sojourners, and Democrats for Life of America. He has published extensively on political philosophy and public policy.

Send us fan responses! If every document you flash is a key, which door are you unlocking: private control or public custody? We dive into the uncomfortable idea that “everything is taxes,” exploring how identity, status, and registration route you into the venues that decide your fate. From the first minutes, we challenge the reflex to treat IDs, car titles, and Social Security numbers as neutral tools. Each one announces a capacity, and that capacity carries tax consequences, venue selection, and limits on your options when conflict hits.We break down the practical difference between legal title and equitable title and why probate becomes the tollbooth for assets acquired in the public lane. You'll hear a roadmap for moving more private: structuring family and trust records, choosing identity proofs that align with your intended jurisdiction, and creating the paperwork that demonstrates control because you created it. We unpack how groups like Amish communities rely on baptismal records and family bibles, and we extend that logic to tribal forums, religious courts, and private associations that keep their own membership cards and governance. If you want a jury of your peers, first define “peers” with credible, consistent records.Language is a compass, so we pause on terms like attorney, creator, and redemption to show how commerce encodes power into paperwork. If “United States business” is the capacity you adopt when you claim certain statuses, then registration can feel like clocking in as state property. The pivot is simple: decide your status with intent, align your daily tools to that choice, and build continuity your heirs can rely on. This is a candid, no-sugarcoat guide to status, title, and tax positioning, aimed at listeners who want to protect wealth, avoid preventable court entanglements, and pass assets without friction.Ready to rethink your paperwork and reclaim control?

You might be surprised to learn that thousands of public-school students are going off campus every day for religious instruction during school hours. Find out how that's possible in a remarkably well-produced documentary called Off School Property that will hit theaters all over America. It's one of those one-night-only showings that you won't want to miss. Check out the film here: https://lifewise.org/offschoolproperty/ Watch LifeWise Founder Joel Penton and First Liberty attorney Holly Randall discuss the making of the documentary and what they hope comes from it. They'll also share the trailer and tell you how you can get tickets.
Many people think that the day they receive salvation through Jesus Christ is the day all of their problems disappear. That's hardly the case! But we certainly can get help from God in times of trouble! Our scripture text is the twelfth chapter of Acts, and the experience of Peter. Peter was imprisoned and physically chained to a number of guards. No way he could get away, right? Wrong!
Today as we look at Acts chapter twelve, we'll see what happened to Peter when he was arrested, and his friends started praying for him. Not only is this a great example of trust and faith in God, it's also an illustration of something we as Christians are experiencing in the year 2025 - the government intruding into our lives as believers. Are you ready to face the challenge?
We take a close look at the infomercial/documentary titled "Off-School Property," produced by LifeWise Academy, which claims to present a solution around the separation of church and state in education to have kids learn the Holy Bible. Released in over 700 theaters, this film promotes LifeWise Academy's approach to religious education during public school hours by manipulating facts and narratives to bolster their claims.LifeWise boasts approximately $35 million in donations yet the organization struggles with uneven enrollment figures across various regions. Their film aims to mask such challenges with slick production value and emotionally charged testimonials, thus creating a facade of widespread acceptance and appeal.We dissect a few key segments from the film, which employs a narrative structure that presents a problem — public school neutrality regarding religion — and follows up with the purported solution offered by LifeWise. Through the use of audio clips from the film, we will highlight instances where their portrayal of facts strays far from reality.We also touch on the film's interpretation of the secularization of public education. The documentary argues that schools' neutral stance toward religion is inherently hostile, misrepresenting foundational legal principles surrounding the separation of church and state.The film oversimplifies the complexities of diverse beliefs within a pluralistic society. Many families already have the option to pursue religious education through private institutions if they choose not to utilize the public school system. The film's claims fail to acknowledge that public education serves all students, regardless of their faith, thereby necessitating a neutral, non-preferential environment. Lifewise leans on the voluntary aspect of their program but their ultimate goal is to integrated with the public school like gym and art.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Send us fan responses! If you think your Social Security number proves ownership, wait until the court calls it “probate.” We walk through how that number ties to a public Sesta Que Vie trust where you enjoy benefits but the state holds legal title—and why that split keeps families stuck in taxes, fees, and delays. The shift is profound yet practical: move from public default to private design with a family trust that you create, fund, and govern, so control lives where your legacy lives.We unpack equitable vs legal title using plain language, then connect the dots to wages, licenses, car registrations, and why assets in your legal name flow through probate. From there, we map how trusts function as legal persons, how co‑mingling and the doctrine of merger quietly wreck good plans, and how to structure trusteeship so successors actually lead. We spotlight what the greats get right—family foundations, 508(c)(1)(A) beneficiaries, and disciplined governance—so your last name becomes a durable enterprise rather than a file number.You'll hear a clear pathway: establish a private family trust, fund it with real titles and assignments, train trustees, and route insurance and income with intent. We also cover common codes and terms in context—Sesta Que Vie, SPVs, amalgamation—so you can see how the public system administrates while a private plan controls. If you're ready to stop being just a beneficiary and start acting like a trustee, this is your blueprint.Subscribe for more deep, practical breakdowns, share this with someone building a legacy, and leave a review to tell us the next question you want answered.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
Send us fan responses! The door cracks open on a quiet clubhouse and suddenly a bigger world appears: private communities building their own credit power, furnishing their own data, and charting a path to a community-owned bank. We walk you through the rooms where the paperwork becomes practice, where mentors with deep experience show how bonds, notes, and trust units get recognized by the systems that matter—Bloomberg, DTCC, Euroclear, Clearstream—and why that recognition turns private agreements into real leverage.We break down the role of a data furnisher in plain language and connect it to a practical plan: reporting instrument details and payment performance so custodians and investors can verify authenticity, price risk, and rate your instruments. That's the difference between hoping a lender believes you and presenting a documented track record for your trust, ministry, or enterprise. Along the way, we talk about what it takes to issue securities, the basics of trust and contract law, and how families, churches, and ministries securitize agreements to build durable access to capital.You'll also hear where the momentum is headed: investor commitments, milestones toward licensure, and live meetings in Atlanta designed to show the framework up close. No hype, just the playbook—how to create data that institutions respect, how to move from private order to public credibility, and how communities can step into real ownership of their financial narrative.If this sparks something, join us.

There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort. In this episode, we talk about the growing weakness on the Right, the danger of valuing offense over free speech, and why all of our rights must be protected at all costs. We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
Unbeknownst at the time, a little-known Supreme Court ruling from more than seventy years ago would ignite a growing movement of teaching the Bible during school hours called Lifewise Academy. The Bible-based education program has now partnered with over 1,000 schools across 35 states nationwide. When the federal government removed Bible education and prayer from public school curriculums, the Supreme Court ruled in 1952 on a compromise: Zorach vs Clauson. It permits public schools to release students during school hours "for religious instruction or devotional exercises." For years, the law went unnoticed and unfulfilled as secular forces in the public square banged the drumbeat of 'Separation of Church and State." But when former college football player Joel Penton discovered it, he took it and ran with it, creating Life Wise in 2019. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Penton talks about the new documentary on Life Wise called "Off School Property" and how the program has evolved to restore faith education on school property. Off School Property will be released in theatres on October 23 in partnership with Fathom Entertainment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Send us fan responses! Ever wondered why some people seem to navigate the financial world with ease while others struggle no matter how hard they work? The answer lies in understanding the powerful distinction between public and private sectors that Don Kilam masterfully unpacks in this eye-opening episode.Kilam reveals how we unknowingly operate as "sole traders" in the public sector from birth, creating a legal amalgamation that makes us personally liable for everything associated with our legal names. This corporate structure - built through birth certificates, social security cards, and government IDs - keeps most people trapped in a system they don't fully comprehend.The game-changing revelation comes when Kilamexplains that "the private sector creates the public sector" - not the other way around. By establishing your nationality through state allegiance rather than federal citizenship, you position yourself differently within the legal framework. This shift allows you to operate under case law rather than being bound by codes and statutes that limit your financial freedom.Particularly fascinating is Kilam's breakdown of how affidavits function as "two-edged swords" in commerce. When properly executed and left unrebutted, these powerful documents stand as truth and become judgments. This explains why creating your own forms rather than filling out government paperwork is essential for maintaining control.Drawing from his remarkable journey from homelessness to financial prosperity, Kilam shares practical strategies used by the wealthy elite - from non-grantor trusts that provide bulletproof asset protection to the strategic use of stipends and fringe benefits that cover life necessities while remaining non-taxable. His insights on Nevada LLCs and other private business structures reveal pathways to privacy and tax advantages most people never discover.Ready to transform your understanding of money, law, and personal sovereignty?

Send us fan responses! The veil between personal freedom and government control is thinner than most realize. This eye-opening exploration of trust law and family sovereignty reveals how your birth certificate secretly converted you into corporate property—and how to reclaim your natural rights through proper legal structures.When you understand that your name itself is a business entity, everything changes. The speaker walks through precisely how to establish your name as an LLC and create a legitimate business relationship with your children through "doing business as" registrations. This isn't theory or wishful thinking—it's demonstrated with actual filing documents and court victories."As a mother, you have supreme rule over your offspring. As a mother, you are the manufacturer," the speaker explains, revealing how maternal authority can be legally established through proper documentation. But there's a critical warning about the "alter ego doctrine" that has invalidated many well-intentioned attempts at sovereignty since 2022, requiring additional layers of protection through holding companies in states like Nevada, Wyoming, and Delaware.The comparison to successful communities like the Amish demonstrates these principles in action—showing how unincorporated contracts and common law agreements create true independence. Similar protections can be achieved through establishing state nationality via oath of allegiance and proper documentation, removing you from federal jurisdiction.Looking at how the wealthy protect themselves through family foundations—like Warren Buffett's family using the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation—provides a blueprint for ordinary families to follow. The difference between success and failure lies in proper implementation and understanding the legal foundations these structures rest upon.Ready to protect your family from government overreach and establish true sovereignty?

Send us fan responses! Discover the hidden commercial framework behind our legal system and how understanding this structure can transform your approach to court proceedings. This eye-opening conversation reveals strategies used by entities like Disney, who leveraged the "Royal Lives Clause" to challenge tax obligations, and how similar approaches might be applied to personal legal matters.The speakers dive deep into court jurisdiction challenges, explaining the critical difference between appearing "pro se" versus "sui juris" and why this distinction matters. They outline practical steps for responding to court summons, including filing affidavits rather than motions, demanding delegation of authority from judges, and properly handling court communications. The conversation illuminates how judgments become securities that are bundled and sold as bonds, revealing the financial instruments generated through court cases.Perhaps most valuable is their breakdown of how to establish oneself as "foreign" to a jurisdiction by declaring state nationality and registering one's name as a business entity. This approach creates separation between the individual and what they describe as the "corporate fiction" that courts attempt to address. The speakers share specific documents to file, including letters of rogatory, certificates of identity, and fee schedules, all designed to establish that courts must prove their jurisdiction before proceedings can continue.Whether you're facing legal challenges or simply want to understand the commercial foundations of our court systems, this conversation provides rare insights into navigating legal proceedings from a position of knowledge rather than fear. Take control of your legal standing by learning how to properly challenge jurisdiction, respond to identification questions, and understand the true nature of what's happening when you enter a courtroom.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
Send us a textToday I welcome back my guest, Grant Young, for a conversation that couldn't be more timely—or more urgent. Together, we take a hard look at the impact of Charlie Kirk, both before and after his tragic death on a college campus, an event that has left people across the country divided, grieving, and searching for answers.Charlie Kirk rose quickly to national prominence as a central figure in America's culture wars. He brought politics into the sanctuary, blending evangelical worship with MAGA rallies and voter registration drives. His voice was amplified not only in churches and stadiums, but also in classrooms and legislatures, shaping policy and public perception. Statues in his honor now appear, intended to symbolize dialogue and civil discourse. But do they?We dig into the contradictions: the image of Kirk as a promoter of “unity” versus the inflammatory rhetoric that too often marked his public statements—about race, religion, immigration, and political opponents. Were his words an expression of truth-telling conviction, or a rejection of the very ideals of mutual respect and dialogue?Grant and I will explore what Kirk's rise—and his sudden, violent end—means for the future of faith and politics in America, and what lessons higher education, the church, and all of us might learn in this moment.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Send us fan responses! The veil between what we think we know about America and the legal reality of the United States Corporation is thinner than most realize. Don Kalam peels back this veil with precision and clarity, offering listeners a roadmap to understanding their true legal position and the opportunities that come with this knowledge.At the heart of this eye-opening discussion lies a fundamental distinction: America is the land, the republic; the United States is a legally defined federal corporation (28 USC 3002(15)(A)). This isn't semantic wordplay—it's a crucial legal framework that determines how we interact with government, commerce, and wealth creation. When Donald Trump says "Make America Great Again," he's specifically referencing the republic, not the corporation—a distinction with profound implications.Your state represents your true nation or country, which explains terms like "nationality." Don Kalam draws fascinating parallels between tribal affiliations in countries like Kenya (with over 40 distinct tribes) and private communities in America. The Amish, religious groups, and various organizations function essentially as tribes with their own governance structures. This tribal understanding is key to recognizing how private life operates parallel to the public system.The birth certificate—printed on security paper similar to car titles—represents your entry into a commercial jurisdiction. By using social security numbers and birth certificates as identity in commerce, most Americans unknowingly pledge their labor against the national debt. When you die with assets tied to your social security number, everything must pass through probate, with the government taking its cut first.The alternative? Operating through private trusts, unincorporated associations, and other private structures that allow you to function outside many codes and statutes. Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution guarantees your right to contract—the foundation of private law that enables communities from the Amish to various religious groups to maintain their independence from government regulation.Ready to reclaim your financial sovereignty and create true generational wealth?

Your journey toward true financial independence begins with understanding the system you're navigating.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Send us fan responses! Step into the hidden world of private banking as we pull back the curtain on how wealthy families truly protect and grow their assets. This eye-opening conversation reveals the fundamental truth that "you can never own anything in America" – and what you can do about it.Discover why making your name a business through LLCs and holding companies creates a protective barrier between your assets and potential threats. We explore the five charging order protection states (Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, South Dakota, and Alaska) and why they're crucial for proper asset structuring.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we uncover how Research and Development tax credits allow businesses to recover up to $500,000 per year – a strategy most tax professionals never mention. You'll learn about forms 6765, 8974, and 941, and how to leverage them properly.Ministry trusts and 508(c)(1)(a) organizations emerge as the cornerstone of private family wealth, offering both tax advantages and independence unlike their 501(c)(3) counterparts. We discuss how family Bibles and baptismal certificates can serve as legitimate identification, and why Social Security numbers represent a public trust system rather than a path to financial freedom.International banking strategies reveal how establishing accounts in countries like Palau, Georgia, Russia, or Ukraine can provide legitimate alternatives without U.S. identification requirements. We also cover the legal foundations for these strategies, including 28 CFR 802.23, which protects your right to privacy.Whether you're looking to protect existing assets or build generational wealth from scratch, this episode provides the framework for thinking and operating like the private families who have preserved wealth for centuries. It's not about evading responsibilities – it's about understanding the difference between public and private relationships and making informed choices for your financial future.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
