Text the show! What happens when Americans expect FBI-level investigations from departments operating on county budgets?In this Best of Common Sense episode, Chad Law explores the widening gap between federal investigative agencies and the local law enforcement officers responsible for solving the vast majority of crimes in America.Using one nationally watched investigation as a starting point, Chad explains why modern policing increasingly depends on resources many local agencies simply don't possess—and why the answer isn't necessarily more federal power, but stronger local institutions.Along the way, the conversation covers:• The difference between federal and local investigative capabilities• Why constitutional policing matters• How staffing and training affect justice• Why Americans ignore the elections that matter most• Whether technology can ever replace community policing• Why rebuilding local government may be the key to rebuilding trustIf you've ever wondered why some investigations look dramatically different than others, this episode explains the structural reasons behind it.
Text the show! Last week on Common Sense, Chad asked whether government can ever actually get smaller.This week, a single receipt from California turns that question upside down.When electric vehicles reduce smog inspections, what happens to the fees that funded them? When lottery revenue is promised to schools, what happens when the institution becomes more important than the promise? What do tobacco settlements, prison contracts, and legalized sports betting all have in common?This episode follows the money—not the headlines.Instead of asking whether government solves problems, Chad investigates what happens when those solutions begin threatening government revenue.You'll never look at public policy the same way again.In This Episode California's smog fees and EV incentives Why gas taxes are disappearing The lottery promise that quietly changed Tobacco settlement bonds and shrinking smoking rates Prison occupancy guarantees Ferguson's dependence on fines and fees Sports betting, Kalshi, and the next generation of government revenue Ronald Reagan's warning about permanent government
Elon Musk turned the tables on an interviewer after being challenged over accusations that his political views and supporters are “far right.”Musk responded by naming three principles he considers completely normal: secure borders, safe cities, and sensible government spending. He then asked the question the media rarely seems willing to answer: Which one of those positions is actually “far right”?The tense exchange unfolded during Musk's wide-ranging interview with The Economist's editor-in-chief, Zanny Minton Beddoes. Musk directly criticized the media's characterization of ordinary political positions as extreme, calling that characterization false, misleading, and nonsense—and insisting that the exchange remain in the finished interview.He also argued that many positions now portrayed as radical would have been considered mainstream only 10 or 15 years ago, referencing past rhetoric from prominent Democratic leaders to illustrate how dramatically political labels have shifted.In this video, Professor Nez breaks down the confrontation, Elon's most powerful argument, the interviewer's response, and what this exchange reveals about modern media framing.Was Elon right? Have secure borders, safe cities, and responsible government spending somehow become “far right”—or has the political definition of “normal” fundamentally changed?Share your verdict in the comments.Subscribe and turn on notifications for daily political commentary, breaking news, media analysis, and fact-checking from Professor Nez.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

Former senior Treasury official David Pearl argues that Australia's decline is not fate but the product of bad choices made by the people running our institutions.He contends that Treasury, once feared for its razor-sharp scrutiny of policy, has been captured from above by secretaries who treat emissions reduction as a moral imperative rather than a trade-off, and who withhold the true cost of the energy transition — a figure he puts as high as $1 trillion.David Pearl is a former assistant secretary of the Australian Treasury and now a full-time writer and commentator on economic and cultural policy. He spent some three decades in the federal bureaucracy, with postings to the OECD in the late 1990s and a period as the Treasurer's representative in the United States, working across taxation, fiscal management and energy policy. He writes regularly for The Australian and The Spectator Australia and appears frequently on Sky News, where he has been among the most persistent critics of Treasury's modelling of the renewable energy transition.
This episode is presented by Create A Video – The US Senate race in North Carolina is now dominated by media reporting on how both campaigns are kicking media out of public events.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Just one week after Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) attacked and ridiculed President Donald Trump for his election integrity speech, the Governor of New Jersey came out and announced that 6,600 illegal aliens were, in fact, registered to vote in elections. Gov. Mikie Sherill repeatedly blamed a "software error" but the vendor says it was on the state elections department to verify eligibility. It makes you wonder why Democrats have fought sharing voter rolls with the Department of Homeland Security, voter ID, the SAVE America Act, and... well... basically all election integrity measures.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com
Philip Howard joins Infinite Loops to explain how America's legal and regulatory system became too complicated to function effectively—and how we can rebuild it around judgment, accountability, and human agency. We discuss why government has become unmanageable, how thousand-page rulebooks discourage individual judgment, why infrastructure projects can take decades to approve, and how public institutions end up costing more while delivering less.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageSomething snapped in American life and it didn't start yesterday. We rewind to a question so many of us have asked at kitchen tables, over beers, and at our kids' games: what happened to our country? Then we walk back through three books that, taken together, offer one diagnosis: America is in the middle of a cultural revolution, and the battleground is institutions, education, and the stories we tell about ourselves.We connect Kevin Slack's “long march through the institutions” to the practical mechanisms of cultural power: schools, bureaucracy, regulatory agencies, and the quiet rewriting of norms that later becomes policy. We bring in Mark Levin's argument about the Democratic Party's historical arc and a modern authoritarian playbook that aims to cripple opposition without openly destroying it. And we use Chris Rufo's work to link ideas to institutions, tracing how revolutionary academic theories become the default language of elite credentialing, even when similar experiments have failed elsewhere.From there, we lay out the broader timeline: 1972 as a hinge point, the fading of Cold War era center left patriotism, the rise of activist incentives, the jump in organizing power in the mid 2000s, Obama era acceleration, Bernie Sanders making democratic socialism culturally “respectable,” and the Democratic Socialists of America building durable local infrastructure. We end with the most important point: this outcome is not inevitable. If you care about civic education, American history, constitutional government, and raising kids who can tell truth from propaganda, this is a roadmap for how we got here and how to fight back without despair.Key Points from the Episode: • Slack's “long march through the institutions” and how cultural change precedes political change • Levin's historical case for a modern appetite for control and the warning signs of soft authoritarian tactics • Rufo's link between academic theories and real institutional power, especially in schools of education • 1972 as the hinge point and the slow incentives driven shift inside the Democratic coalition • The pathway from Obama to Sanders to DSA as infrastructure, money, and local wins • Why the outcome is not inevitable and how truth, history, and classical education push back • The fight showing up at kitchen tables, schools, workplaces, and youth sports sidelines We are building and have built out a whole library of book briefs, just one pager's five-minute read over at the Mojo Book Academy on Substack, mojoacademy.substack.com. Keep fighting the good fight!Resources for this episode:Kevin Slack, professor of politics at Hillsdale College, and his book The War on the American Republic.

You might be surprised to learn that Mickey Mouse is not held in high esteem by The Smithsonian. There’s one museum exhibit that describes Steamboat Willie as a vestige of long-standing traditions of a blackface minstrel show. That revelation came during a congressional hearing with Anthea Hartig, the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Mickey Mouse is racist? Now, that’s just goofy. Turns out the Smithsonian has all sorts of woke exhibits and ideology. Did you know that being polite is a form of white supremacy? Or that you can purchase a children’s story book that includes pictures of two boys lusting after each other? They also share Latino Power merchandise. To illustrate the absurdity – imagine the outrage if they sold White Power merch. What’s puzzling is why you can purchase gay-themed books at the Smithsonian gift shop – but you can’t purchase a copy of the two books that most influenced the Founding Fathers – the Holy Bible and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. How ironic that you can’t find common sense in The Smithsonian museums. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Text the show! What if the problem isn't that politicians suddenly became worse?What if we've quietly stopped rewarding quality altogether?In this episode, Chad Law traces the surprising chain reaction that transformed American politics—from résumé politics to jersey politics.Along the way, he explores:• Why scandals no longer end campaigns• How celebrity endorsements replaced real vetting• Why viral moments matter more than governing• The hidden danger of safe political districts• The monopoly problem nobody talks about• Why competition—not good intentions—creates accountabilityRather than blaming individual politicians, this episode asks a harder question:What incentives does today's political system actually reward?The answer explains far more than candidate quality.It explains why politics increasingly feels disconnected from performance itself.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – It's becoming clearer that Marxist violence is on the rise and a report by the US State Department traces many of the roots to Cuba.

A series of 16 influential political pamphlets published between 1776 and 1783 during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) titled The American Crisis, or simply The Crisis, by eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosopher and author Thomas Paine — an Englishman living in the colonies who signed his essays anonymously as "Common Sense," the title of his earlier influential work. Each essay, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace. The essays were gathered into one volume in 1882, showcasing the iconic opening line: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

Text the show! George Washington's greatest accomplishment wasn't defeating Britain.It was giving power back.In this episode of Common Sense, Chad Law explores the forgotten principle that built America: stewardship.From Congress and family businesses to churches, corporations, and even our own homes, institutions don't usually collapse because bad people take over.They collapse because caretakers slowly become owners.Using history, psychology, leadership research, and one remarkable painting hanging inside the Capitol Rotunda, Chad examines why America's institutions struggle to renew themselves—and what every one of us can do to reverse the trend.This isn't really an episode about Washington.It's about every chair we'll someday have to leave behind.Chapters00:00 The Empty Chair: A Symbol of Power and Sacrifice03:11 The Mystery of Institutional Decline06:04 Caretakers vs. Owners: A Fundamental Question15:22 Washington's Legacy: The Chair He Refused18:47 The Science of Leadership and Institutional Health28:29 Congress: A Case Study in Institutional Failure35:56 The Role of Civil Servants36:57 Vidal Sassoon: A Legacy of Teaching and Selling39:48 Understanding Psychological Ownership44:00 The Importance of Stewardship in Institutions48:42 The Challenge of Leadership and Mentorship52:20 Building a Legacy Through Stewardship56:32 The Dinner Table: A Call to Action57:59 Final Thoughts on Stewardship and LegacyConnect with Common Sense
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin just admitted it: Real ID doesn't prove citizenship. In this video, Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the 15-word slip that exposes the real goal of Trump's voter ID push and why only two documents actually prove citizenship — documents that many Americans don't have. It's a policy that hits Black voters and married women hardest, and the Election Integrity Network's own handbook shows it's by design.

Trump just dropped a bombshell you need to see before the media buries it. China stole voter registration data from 220 million Americans — and the deep state knew. This isn't some abstract foreign policy story. China quietly vacuumed up names, addresses, phone numbers, and party preferences from more than two-thirds of the country. Trump called it the largest compromise of election data in history, and the intelligence community actively suppressed the details so the American people — and the president — wouldn't find out. That is a direct threat to every election going forward and a clear signal that China is not a competitor. China is the enemy. Regular Americans who still believe we can just trade our way out of this problem need to understand what "nefarious activities" with that kind of data actually look like. Election security, national sovereignty, and basic trust in the system are all on the line.
