Tax Day is here, and Washington wants credit for "relief" that still leaves you poorer. Nate and Chuck break down why no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security is not what it sounds like. This episode covers tax day, inflation, government spending, Trump tax policy, Republican spending, and why the real tax is what the government spends. The guys dig into the fine print behind no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, plus why those savings can get wiped out by inflation, borrowing, and war. They also react to the staged DoorDash grandma White House clip, debate whether Republicans deserve to lose the midterms, and explain why mass pardons for administration officials could become a bipartisan disaster.

In today's episode, Jesse discuss the significance of the 2026 Land of Hope and Dreams tour. Jesse argues the 2026 tour is a “patriotic protest tour” centered on democracy, freedom, and the Constitution, citing song choices like “War,” a reclaimed “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Purple Rain,” and “Clampdown,” and suggests it may serve as a punctuation mark in Springsteen's story!

Supreme Pressure: The Rejection of John J. Parker and the Birth of the Modern Supreme Court Confirmation Process (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025) examines the 1930 Supreme Court nomination of John J. Parker, a turning point in American judicial politics. Alarmed by some of his past statements and opinions, labor and civil rights groups mounted a fierce campaign to block his confirmation. Not only was control of the Supreme Court hanging in the balance, but Parker's nomination symbolized a profound clash of ideologies, political agendas, economic doctrines, and interpretations of the Constitution. Their efforts sparked a dramatic Senate revolt, marking the first successful grassroots campaign to block a Supreme Court nominee. By exploring the circumstances of Parker's rejection, this book traces how that battle laid the foundation for today's highly partisan and contentious confirmation process. The book also reintroduces Parker as a consequential but largely forgotten figure in American jurisprudence--one whose rulings helped shape the South's legal response to Brown v. Board of Education. Beyond the nomination fight, it delves into Parker's political campaigns, judicial opinions, and relationships with key public figures, charting his dramatic rise, humiliating defeat, and enduring influence. Packed with intrigue, strategy, and the clash of competing ideologies, this is the story of how one nomination forever changed the rules of the game. Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Clay is Optimistic Clay Travis highlights what he sees as clear economic momentum under President Donald Trump, noting that the Iran naval blockade appears to be working as intended, with crude oil prices falling and both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average pushing toward record highs. Clay emphasizes that listeners who avoided panic during recent geopolitical tensions and tariff scares are being rewarded, as retirement accounts and 401(k)s are rebounding strongly—underscoring a recurring theme of market confidence and economic stability tied to Trump’s policies. The hour then pivots to one of the most dramatic political collapses in recent memory: the downfall of California Congressman Eric Swalwell. Clay and Buck explain that Swalwell, once a leading favorite to become California’s next governor, has now not only withdrawn from the governor’s race but has also resigned his congressional seat amid escalating allegations of sexual misconduct and criminal behavior. The hosts stress how extraordinary the speed and severity of the collapse is, noting that Swalwell had survived previous scandals—including connections to a suspected Chinese spy and constant media exposure—only to see his career end just weeks before early voting in California’s June primary. They also note that a Republican congressman in Texas has stepped down around the same time over unrelated allegations, pointing to a broader moment of political reckoning around misconduct. Sen. Rand Paul on Everything A wide‑ranging interview with Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who offers a constitutional critique of the U.S. military action against Iran. Paul reiterates that while he opposes Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, he believes Congress must authorize war and questions claims of imminent threat. He discusses the risks of escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, the economic impact of rising energy prices, and the uncertainty of whether negotiations can truly resolve the conflict. Paul also weighs in on Kentucky politics, strongly endorsing Congressman Thomas Massie as a constitutional conservative, emphasizing fidelity to the Constitution over unquestioning loyalty to any single political figure. The conversation broadens into Second Amendment rights, where Senator Paul argues for national constitutional carry, citing data showing lawful gun owners commit crimes at significantly lower rates than the general population. Drawing on his personal experience during the 2017 congressional baseball shooting, Paul criticizes gun‑free zones and inconsistent state laws that disarm law‑abiding citizens while leaving criminals unchecked. He also addresses the SAVE Act and voter ID, arguing that voter identification should be a basic requirement for elections and criticizing mass mail‑in voting systems that weaken confidence in electoral integrity. Two Can Play at That Game A continued focus on the U.S.–Iran conflict, as Clay and Buck note signs of de‑escalation: the S&P 500 is within a half‑percent of an all‑time high, crude oil has fallen sharply to around $88 a barrel, and gas prices appear to be stabilizing after early war‑related spikes. They explain that markets are signaling confidence that President Trump’s blockade strategy and pressure campaign are working, with Iran’s leverage shrinking and expectations growing that further negotiations—possibly in Pakistan—could follow. Buck frames the standoff as a waiting game, describing Iran’s threats in the Strait of Hormuz as “economic terrorism” and highlighting comments from Vice President JD Vance that the United States can outlast Tehran economically and militarily. The conversation then pivots back to the Eric Swalwell scandal, which dominates much of Hour 3. Clay plays extended audio from Lana Drews, the newly public accuser who alleges Swalwell drugged and violently raped her in a West Hollywood hotel room, choking her into unconsciousness. The hosts stress that this accusation is separate from and more severe than earlier reporting, helping explain why Swalwell abruptly resigned from both his gubernatorial race and Congress. They analyze the rapidly expanding fallout, including viral videos allegedly showing Swalwell in compromising situations, and public denials from figures like Senator Ruben Gallego, who had previously endorsed Swalwell but is now scrambling to distance himself. Clay and Buck argue the scandal is triggering a broader reckoning within Democratic circles, as journalists and politicians who long protected Swalwell now appear to be running for cover. This Will Make You Laugh An in‑studio interview with Sarah Isgur, SCOTUSblog editor, Advisory Opinions podcast host, and author of Last Branch Standing. Isgur challenges popular narratives about the Supreme Court, arguing that the Court is wrongly blamed for decisions that Congress refuses to make. She explains why the Court is not simply a “6–3 partisan body,” and how Congress’s abdication of legislative responsibility has forced the judiciary into the political spotlight. Clay and Buck ask about rumors that Justice Samuel Alito may retire, with Isgur explaining why the odds are roughly 50‑50 and how President Trump could shape the Court again if a vacancy opens this summer. Isgur also unpacks internal Supreme Court dynamics, particularly tensions surrounding Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, describing her as less institutionalist and more inclined toward solo dissents—traits that can strain collegial relationships. She previews several high‑impact cases still pending this term, including Voting Rights Act redistricting disputes, birthright citizenship, election‑day ballot deadlines, and Remain in Mexico–style immigration authority, emphasizing that many of these controversies should ultimately be resolved by Congress, not the Court.

Bill talks with lawyer and former Clinton special counsel Lanny Davis about his book, Finding the Third Way, and the need to restore civility and “disagree agreeably” in U.S. politics. Davis recalls a Yale campus culture shaped by President Kingman Brewster that encouraged civil discourse and public service, even amid 1960s turmoil. He defines the “Third Way” as Bill Clinton's principled blend of social liberalism, fiscal conservatism (balanced budgets and responsibility), and cultural moderation, offering a positive alternative to Trumpism. Davis argues most Americans want civil politics, but extremes dominate, and Democrats must stand for affordability, fiscal discipline, and tolerance—especially within their own party—while rejecting lies, racism, and attacks on the Constitution. He predicts a potential realignment with disenchanted Trump voters and says Democrats need younger leadership after Biden's decision to run again. You can get a copy of Lanny's new book, coming our today, Finding the Third Way: Lessons in the Politics of Civility from My Journey through History here.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The Laborers' International Union of North America.

THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update THE HOOK (COLD OPEN) “If you've ever wondered when the federal government decided your constitutional rights needed a permission slip and a background check, welcome to the Gun Control Act of 1968.” THE INTEL (THE STORY) Why?: The 1960s were a mess of race riots, civil unrest, and high-profile assassinations (JFK, MLK, RFK). The political elite used the national panic to ram through a wishlist of federal gun control they had wanted for decades, convincing the public that the legal supply chain was the enemy, rather than the radicals pulling the triggers. The Play-by-Play: What it did: Backroom Deals: Domestic gun manufacturers essentially sold out the people. They backed the bill because it banned the import of cheap, foreign-made handguns—effectively wiping out their competition. The Media Lie: The press sold the GCA as a “targeted” bill to stop assassins. They completely ignored that it effectively criminalized the interstate market, invented the “prohibited persons” list, and choked off the legal supply chain for everyday citizens. The Reality Check (Hidden Incentives): Rumors: Rumor (Highly Credible): Senator Thomas Dodd explicitly modeled the 1968 GCA after Nazi Germany's 1938 Weapons Law. Dodd was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials and public records confirm he had the Library of Congress translate the Nazi law. The structural parallels involving dealer licensing, tracking, and “sporting” clauses are nearly identical. Rumor: LBJ's push for the law was heavily influenced by elite, backroom fears of armed Black Panther patrols in California, rather than just the high-profile assassinations. Gun control is in fact rooted in racism. THE 2A ANGLE (LEGAL & IMPACT) The Threat: The GCA is the mother-ship of modern federal gun control. It created the Federal Firearms License (FFL) system, age restrictions, and the “prohibited persons” list. The ATF's current “zero tolerance” strategy of revoking licenses for misspelled words is entirely dependent on the FFL chokepoint created right here in '68. Bruen Test: Regulatory Creep: Pattern 1: Regulate the seller instead of banning the buyer (creating the FFL dependency). Pattern 2: Exploit intentionally vague language (like “engaged in the business”) so unelected bureaucrats can expand the law later without a Congressional vote. Pattern 3: Frame rights restrictions as “regulating interstate commerce” to bypass the Constitution. Pattern 4: Build the architecture of a registry quietly through compliance paperwork (Form 4473). THE TALKING POINTS (ON-AIR READY) WLS IS LIFESTYLE GFEN's Gun Maker's Match GMM is an annual DIY gun competition event that is the first official shooting competition exclusively for individuals who make their own guns. Multiple stage events are conducted for both Kit Built and 3D Printed guns in Pistol, PCC, and Rifle Divisions, with a special side match for .22lr 3D Printed Firearms. Guns For Everyone National has created the first Competition Series for 3D Printed & Kit Built Firearms.0 THE ALLEY AuxArc 3D Printable Firearms Holsters and Gear @AuxArc is a MakerWorld profile specializing in 3D printable models for firearms accessories, including holsters compatible with Glock 17/19 and Ruger RXM, as well as storage solutions for ammo and batteries. Pinned models feature OWB and IWB holsters with options for lights like Streamlight TLR-1/TLR-7 and optic cuts. These are designed for 3D printing with some watertight and parametric features, but no detailed mechanical specs beyond compatibility are provided. GOING BALLISTIC National Rifle Association v. NRA Foundation Lawsuit (Washington, D.C.) The NRA Foundation faces ongoing transparency issues in a lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association alleging illegal trademark use and failure to distribute funds. The Washington, D.C. Attorney General's office mediated the dispute but efforts failed, leading to a FOIA request (R005465-030626) for leadership details. The Foundation provided its 2024 Form 990 but refuses to disclose current trustees, officers, or salaries until the 2025 filing on November 15, 2026. New York Proposed Bills Reclassify BB Guns and Air Guns as Imitation Firearms (Savage) New York lawmakers have introduced bills in both the Assembly and Senate to reclassify airguns, BB rifles, and pellet guns as imitation firearms, requiring barrel plugs and toy-like coloration that would render them non-functional for firing projectiles. This aims to prevent police shootings involving realistic-looking airguns mistaken for real firearms. Paintball guns are exempted but face a raised purchase age from 16 to 18, while manufacturers would be deemed firearms industry members subject to public nuisance lawsuits. Colorado SB 26-043: Firearm Barrel Background Checks (Savage) Colorado Senate Bill 26-043 requires background checks, dealer transfers, and five-year recordkeeping for sales or transfers of firearm barrels, treating them like complete firearms. Non-serialized barrels must be serialized, with penalties including up to 30 days in jail and $500 fine for first-offense violations. The bill targets ghost guns but imposes compliance on all law-abiding gun owners in Colorado. Virginia HB40: Spanberger Signs Ghost Gun Ban (Savage) Virginia Governor Spanberger signed HB40, banning the manufacture, transfer, sale, importation, and eventual possession of unserialized firearms and unfinished frames or receivers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The law establishes a serialization process for federal firearms licensees but includes no grandfather clause. Most provisions take effect January 1, 2027, with the possession ban effective July 1, 2027.0 OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Discrimination Against Firearm Companies (Savage) The OCC and FDIC have issued a new Final Rule that prohibits banking regulators from using ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against institutions serving the firearm and ammunition industry. This rule ends the practice of debanking lawful gun businesses by barring adverse actions based on political, social, or constitutionally protected activities. The National Shooting Sports Foundation praised it as a significant victory under the Trump administration. FPC Statement on Trump Administration's Decision to Support Biden ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' Rule (Savage) Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued a statement criticizing the Trump Administration for maintaining the Biden-era ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' rule after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld it in March 2025. Despite FPC providing a proposed alternative rule in May 2025 and numerous other recommendations, the Administration informed FPC it would preserve the existing definition of firearm ‘frame' and ‘receiver'. FPC accuses the Administration of actively working against Second Amendment rights rather than protecting them. OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Reputational Risk-Based Debanking of Firearm Industry The OCC and FDIC issued a final rule that eliminates ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against banks, directly addressing debanking of lawful firearm and ammunition businesses. This change prohibits regulators from encouraging account closures based on political or social views, promoting objective banking supervision. The rule responds to prior findings of inappropriate distinctions against gun-related companies by FDIC-insured institutions. Virginia Proposed Assault Weapons Ban: Gun Store Sales Surge in Henrico County Gun sales in Virginia have surged dramatically as residents rush to purchase firearms ahead of a proposed state ‘assault weapons' ban set to prohibit AR-15 possession after July 1, 2026, unless owned prior. Background checks rose from 47,069 in March 2025 to 79,

Episode 82 Is Qui Tam Unconstitutional? The False Claims Act's Constitutional Reckoning The qui tam provision of the False Claims Act has turned whistleblowing into a $6.8 billion-a-year industry. And now, the Constitution might be coming to collect. Host Matt Adams is joined by his Fox Rothschild colleagues Joe DeMaria and Morgan McCall Reece to dissect whether private relators wielding government power without government accountability violates Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Since the Civil War, the False Claims Act has allowed private individuals to file lawsuits on behalf of the government, pocketing 15-30% of recovered funds. When the government declines to intervene, which happens in 75-85% of cases, these unelected, unappointed private relators step into the shoes of a civil prosecutor without meaningful executive oversight. Joe traces the constitutional fault line back to Justice Scalia's dissent in Morrison and then-Attorney General William Barr's 1989 memorandum declaring the qui tam statute unconstitutional. Morgan breaks down the Appointments Clause and the Vesting and Take Care Clauses at the center of the fight, zeroing in on whether relators are functioning as "inferior officers" exercising significant authority without executive appointment or supervision. Matt, Joe and Morgan predict where this is ultimately headed: the Supreme Court, with a potential role by the 11th Circuit. With qui tam litigation serving as big business for the government, relators and law firms alike, don't miss this thought-provoking discussion.

Sons Of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean As The Madness Continues On... The Madness Continues: A Call for Accountability, Biblical Law, and Skepticism of the Establishment Sons of Liberty: As The Madness Continues Radio Abstract Host: Bradley Dean | A critique of political accountability, spiritual apathy, and institutional deception. The 545 Accountability Rule "545 human beings are responsible for the mess." 1 President 100 Senators 435 Congressmen 9 SC Justices The American people are complicit through tolerance and lack of enforcement. Core Editorial Arguments The Income Tax Fallacy: Destroyed financial privacy and forced two-earner households, eroding family values. The "Common Con": Politicians create problems to campaign against them; the Federal Reserve is a private entity delegated constitutional duties. Spiritual Prerequisite: Revival is impossible without preaching God's Moral Law (The 10 Commandments) to reveal sin. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is not only unpatriotic, but morally treasonable." — Theodore Roosevelt Critical Flashpoints Political Mockery Critique of Donald Trump's "messianic" imagery; labeled as blasphemy and "spirit of anti-Christ." Institutional Lies Skepticism of NASA's Artemis mission and Apollo history; claims of staged moon landings to justify theft of trillions. Medical Justice Demand for accountability regarding mRNA vaccine deaths; calls for justice against "the father of the vaccine." #Repentance #Liberty #545Responsible #BiblicalWorldview Source: SONS of LIBERTY Radio | Episode: 2026-04-13 Action: "Right the Wrong" This broadcast of Sons of Liberty Radio features host Bradley Dean addressing the systemic corruption within the U.S. government and the church, emphasizing a desperate need for a return to Biblical moral law. Dean critiques the political establishment, challenges mainstream narratives surrounding public health and space exploration, and calls on Americans to cease their tolerance of "the con game" played by those in power. Detailed Summary The "Common Con" of the 545 The broadcast opens with a reflection on the destructive nature of the income tax and the erosion of financial privacy. Dean references a classic column by Charlie Reese, arguing that a mere 545 individuals—comprising the President, senators, congressmen, and Supreme Court justices—are directly responsible for the nation's domestic plagues. He asserts that these politicians create problems specifically to campaign against them, maintaining a "common con" that thrives only because the American public tolerates a lack of accountability and the unconstitutional delegation of power to entities like the Federal Reserve. The "545" Responsibility Framework According to the Charlie Reese doctrine cited in the broadcast: 435Representatives 100Senators 9SC Justices 1President "545 human beings out of 325.7 million are directly responsible for the problems that plague this country." Spiritual Foundations and the Failure of the Church Dean posits that the core of America's decline is spiritual, stemming from a departure from God's moral law. He criticizes modern "popular" Christian speakers for failing to preach repentance and instead seeking the "approbation of man." By removing the "schoolmaster" of the Law, Dean argues, the church has deprived the Gospel of its power to bring about genuine conversion. He emphasizes that the "good guys" are often accomplices to evil because they allow corruption to persist without enforcing justice or following the Biblical command to repent. The Critique of Political Idolatry A significant portion of the broadcast is dedicated to criticizing Donald Trump, whom Dean describes as a narcissist who mocks Christ. He condemns the "In Trump We Trust" sentiment and the use of imagery depicting Trump as a savior or the "Son of Man." Dean argues that if Christians truly viewed Jesus as Lord, they would hold Trump accountable to the Constitution and the Law rather than offering him blind support. He also briefly addresses Marjorie Taylor Greene, suggesting her recent "anti-establishment" rhetoric is merely a result of falling out of favor with the "good old boy club". Institutional Skepticism: Space and Public Health The host expresses deep skepticism toward NASA and the medical establishment. He analyzes recent Artemis II press conference footage, claiming that the astronauts' own words—specifically Commander Reid Wiseman stating it is the "first time" humans are going to the moon—prove that previous lunar missions were staged. Furthermore, Dean revisits the "mRNA scam," accusing both the Biden and Trump administrations of responsibility for vaccine-related deaths. He highlights Trump's own insistence on taking credit for the vaccines as evidence of his culpability in what Dean terms "murder". The "Establishment Box" Trap Dean argues that voters are manipulated into choosing between pre-selected options that all serve the same agenda. The Illusion of Choice: 1,100+ candidates exist, but media focuses on a "handful" from the same team. The Solution: Stop looking at the "R" or "D" next to a name and start thinking outside the establishment box. The Source: Change must begin within the Church before it can manifest in the government. Key Data The 545: The specific number of federal officials (1 President, 9 Supreme Court Justices, 100 Senators, 435 Representatives) identified as responsible for national policy. Artemis II Program: A $93 billion NASA program scrutinized by the host for its "first time" rhetoric. Vaccine Timeline: Reference to deaths occurring as quickly as 34 hours post-injection.

S11E072, Fatal Shooting Of Bad Guy With Bat Leads To Indictment Of Cop Involved LEO Roundtable: Legal Precedents, Judicial Accountability, and Use-of-Force Consequences Legal Boundaries & Fatal Encounters Analysis: From Ohio Supreme Court Rulings to NYPD Sentencing Key Case Briefs State v. Phipps (Ohio)Ruling: Upheld Police may continue a traffic stop even if the initial suspicion (e.g., broken headlight) was a factual mistake, provided the mission remains reasonable. Core Issue: Mistake of Fact vs. Mistake of Law. NYPD "Cooler" Sentencing3-9 Years Prison Ex-Sergeant Eric Duran convicted of manslaughter after throwing a cooler at a fleeing suspect on a scooter, leading to a fatal crash. Debate: Weapon of opportunity vs. excessive force. The JAIL Act Proposal Legislative New bill aims to strip judges of absolute immunity for "grossly negligent" release of dangerous criminals who re-offend. Expert Panel Anthony Bandiro: Search & Seizure Dr. Joel Schultz: Retired Chief Chip DeBlock: Host Legal Friction Points #4thAmendment#QualifiedImmunity#TerryStop#DeadlyForce#JudicialAccountability "Your authority doesn't come from the badge; it comes from the Constitution and the laws of the state." — Dr. Joel Schultz This episode of the LEO Roundtable features a panel of law enforcement and legal experts discussing the Ohio Supreme Court's recent ruling on traffic stop authority, the controversial "JAIL Act" targeting judicial immunity, and the criminal sentencing of officers involved in unconventional use-of-force incidents. The discussion highlights the evolving intersection of constitutional rights, officer discretion, and public accountability. Traffic Stop Authority and the "Mistake of Fact" The Ohio Supreme Court recently ruled in State v. Phipps that police officers may continue a traffic stop even if the initial justification for the stop is discovered to be a mistake. In this case, officers stopped a vehicle believing a headlight was out, only to realize upon approach that it was a functioning fog light. Despite this, the officer requested the driver's license, which led to the discovery of a suspended license, an active warrant, and crack cocaine. The court determined that checking a driver's license is a standard part of the "mission" of any traffic stop and does not violate the Fourth Amendment, even if the primary suspicion is dispelled. Legal expert Anthony Bandiro noted a critical distinction between a "mistake of law" and a "mistake of fact." While officers are generally not excused for ignorance of the law, a reasonable mistake of fact—such as misidentifying a non-functioning light—allows the stop to remain valid. However, Bandiro cautioned that the logic of "demanding" ID once suspicion is dispelled remains a constitutional gray area. He argued that if a citizen proves their compliance (e.g., showing a working headlight) and refuses to provide ID, an arrest for non-compliance might lack a sufficient governmental interest under Terry rules. Legal Framework: Traffic Stop Validity Mistake of Fact Reasonable errors (e.g., mistaking a fog light for a headlight) generally uphold the stop's legality. Mistake of Law Misunderstanding the statute itself (e.g., wrong number of lights required) typically voids the stop. Source: State v. Phipps Analysis Judicial Accountability and the "JAIL Act" The panel discussed the "Judicial Accountability for Irresponsible Leniency" (JAIL) Act, a proposed bill aimed at stripping judges of absolute immunity in cases of gross negligence. The legislation stems from public outcry over "progressive" prosecutors and judges who release violent repeat offenders on low or no bail, only for those individuals to commit further violent crimes. While the panel acknowledged the need for accountability, they expressed concern that removing judicial immunity could bog down the court system with civil litigation and undermine judicial independence. The discussion also touched upon the "Soros strategy," where significant national funding is directed toward local District Attorney elections to implement far-left agendas. Dr. Joel Schultz emphasized that while the JAIL Act seeks a statutory fix, the ultimate "check and balance" lies with the voters, who must pay closer attention to local judicial retentions and prosecutorial elections rather than relying on autopilot litigation. Use-of-Force and Criminal Liability Two high-profile cases of officers facing prison time were analyzed to illustrate the risks of "weapons of opportunity" and tactical failures: The "Cooler" Incident: Former NYPD Sergeant Eric Duran was sentenced to 3–9 years for manslaughter after throwing a picnic cooler at a fleeing suspect on a motorized scooter. The impact caused a fatal crash. The panel noted that while the officer claimed he was protecting the crowd, the act was legally equivalent to using deadly force without the requisite justification of immediate threat. The Woodbridge Shooting: A sergeant was indicted for manslaughter after shooting a man armed with a baseball bat. Despite the presence of approximately 15 officers, the panel observed a lack of a coordinated de-escalation strategy, and video evidence failed to show a clear "act of aggression" immediately preceding the shots. Immunity Standards Comparison Role Immunity Type Threshold for Liability Police Officers Qualified Violation of "clearly established" law. Judges / DAs Absolute Historically immune from all civil suits for official acts. Actionable Insights for Law Enforcement Report Writing Precision: Officers must meticulously document the conditions of their observations and the exact timing of when suspicion was dispelled or extended to survive judicial scrutiny. Constitutional Boundaries: Understand that your authority is derived from the Constitution, not just the badge; assume non-compliance and have a legal foundation before escalating force. Weapon Foreseeability: Be aware that using "weapons of opportunity" (like a cooler or vehicle) will be judged by the same standards as a firearm if the result is substantial bodily harm or death. Tactical Coordination: In "man with a weapon" calls involving multiple officers, a clear strategy must be developed to avoid unnecessary use of deadly force when numerical advantage is present. Conclusion The roundtable concludes that while recent court rulings like State v. Phipps offer some flexibility in police authority, the increasing trend of criminal indictments for officers and the legislative push against judicial immunity signal a period of intense scrutiny. Success in modern policing requires a deep understanding of constitutional law and a commitment to tactical de-escalation.

Clay and frequent guest Beau Breslin of Skidmore College try to place Donald Trump's war in Iran in the context of American history with a particular emphasis on the war powers language of the U.S. Constitution. The Founders considered war so grave that they did everything in their power to make sure it was not undertaken without the broad support of the American people. Wars must begin in Congress, and particularly the House of Representatives. The House enjoys the power of the purse to fund wars or refuse to fund them. In the last 60 years, presidents have gone to war with decreasing Constitutional respect, but no previous war was undertaken without some level of consultation with Congress. So far, Congress has voted against at least three war powers resolutions that might have put some controls on our incursion into the Middle East. This episode was recorded on March 5, 2026.

This week, Jeremi and Zachary host historian Mark Peterson to discuss his book, The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution: A Thousand-Year History, and to rethink the Constitution as a long-evolving relationship among people, government institutions, land, and written instruments rather than a single 1787 text. Mark Peterson is the Edmund S. Morgan Professor of History at Yale University.  He is the author of three major books: The Price of Redemption: The Spiritual Economy of Puritan New England; The City-State of Boston: The Rise and Fall of an Atlantic Power, 1630-1865; and, most recently, The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution: A Thousand-Year History.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Americans neglect the Constitution they claim to uphold, while leaders invoke powers not granted within it. From executive orders to congressional actions, widespread misunderstanding reveals a deeper constitutional illiteracy shaping government decisions and civic responsibility today...

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the media are partisan activists who hate the Constitution and the American people. Neither the Supreme Court justices during oral arguments for birthright citizenship nor the critical headlines offered any substantive counters, such as a single statement from the authors of the 1866 Act or 14th Amendment supporting universal citizenship for children of illegal aliens. If the Court constitutionalizes birthright citizenship for children of aliens or illegal aliens—something with no basis in the Constitution—it would enshrine a policy Congress has never enacted, leading to monumental consequences, including incentivized mass illegal immigration, exploitation by China through birth tourism, and future security risks from citizens with foreign loyalties holding sensitive positions. Senator Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are undermining our war effort for power. Schumer acts like the president's decision to order military action against Iran, despite tireless efforts to negotiate with that regime to abandon its nuclear program and surrender its enriched uranium, which was fruitless, and indeed the regime's negotiators bragged that they would have 11 nuclear bombs in 10 days, was rash and irresponsible. Their goal is not the defeat of Iran and the removal of a nuclear threat, but the defeat of the president and, if they can, his removal. Later, he attacks on President Trump from the Woke Reich Neo-fascists are dispiriting, divisive, and harmful to the country and the conservative movement, potentially undermining Republican chances in midterm elections by aiding the left, spreading conspiracy theories, and diverting focus from unity and the agenda. The President is acting in the country's best interest despite facing significant opposition and personal cost. Compare that with politicians and commentators who accuse him of profiting from their positions or undermining the movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As presidents increasingly rely on executive action to advance their agenda, Philip Wallach and Oona Hathaway join Margaret Hoover to discuss why Congress has abdicated its constitutional power and how to fix it in a forum at Hofstra University.Wallach, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of “Why Congress,” talks about the role the founders envisioned for the legislative branch and how it has changed in recent decades amid rising partisanship and political dysfunction.Hathaway, a Yale Law School professor who served on a Princeton University panel examining congressional reform, assesses how presidents have claimed war powers that the Constitution assigned to Congress and comments on the role of the Supreme Court in shifting power to the executive branch.The guests take questions from students, offer ideas for reform, and explain how Gen Z can help fix the system and restore the balance of power in Washington.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, The Beth and Ravenel Curry Foundation, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, The Margaret and Daniel Loeb Foundation, Katharine J.

Can libertarians win meaningful victories for liberty in our lifetime? Jacob Huebert, revisiting his 2011 Mises Circle presentation "Is There Hope for Liberty in Our Lifetime?", delivers a clear verdict: not through the paths most people chase. Electoral politics poisons principles and delivers more statism, grassroots populism like the Tea Party is less interested in freedom than its proponents suggest, and it fizzles without real change, and pushing for freedom in the courts can offer beneficial but limited results. Yet hope exists through quieter, surer means—the remnant strategy of personal improvement and idea-spreading leads to incremental gains in personal and societal freedom. For Christians committed to a free society, this conversation offers a principled alternative to short-term political fixes: focus on becoming the change, draw the receptive, and trust ideas to bear fruit when crises demand them.Huebert's update shows why libertarians should reject the lesser-evil trap and embrace long-term fidelity to individual rights and sound economics. The episode argues that true progress comes not from capturing power but from changing minds among those who think independently.Who Jacob Huebert Is and Why His Perspective MattersJacob Huebert serves as senior litigation counsel at the New Civil Liberties Alliance, which fights administrative state overreach—most notably contributing to the Supreme Court case that overturned Chevron deference. As a Mises Institute associated scholar and author of Libertarianism Today, Huebert brings a rare combination: deep theoretical grounding in Austrian economics and libertarian philosophy, plus practical courtroom wins for liberty. His 2011 talk captured pessimism amid Ron Paul and Tea Party optimism; now, with hindsight including Trump-era disappointments and recent freedom trends, he sharpens the case for why libertarians win by refusing to play the conventional political game.Why Electoral Politics Cannot Deliver LibertyElectoral politics consistently fails libertarians because it rewards compromise, short-term thinking, and team loyalty over principle. The Tea Party promised anti-federal backlash but delivered standard Republicans with mild rhetoric—not radical reduction in government size or scope. Polls showed less than half of Tea Partiers even angry at federal power, and mainstream exploiters quickly co-opted it. Fifteen years later, the pattern repeats: libertarians who backed Trump as the "lesser evil" against perceived leftist threats rationalized away his statist actions, accelerating government growth instead of reversing it. Even bright spots like Javier Milei prove exceptions, not the rule—politics attracts few consistent principled voices like Ron Paul or Thomas Massie, who remain isolated outliers rather than catalysts for systemic change.Grassroots Populism Lacks the Clarity for Lasting FreedomMovements like the Tea Party or MAGA surge on unfocused rage against elites but lack a coherent vision of a freer society. They attract liberty-curious people yet funnel them toward conventional Republican figures who preserve the status quo. True liberty requires rejecting collectivism—whether left-wing central planning or right-wing racial or national collectivism that creeps in among some libertarian-adjacent circles. Populism exploits frustration without building the intellectual foundation needed for real reform, leaving participants more prone to statism when the pendulum swings.Courts Offer Discrete Wins—but Are Not the Whole SolutionLegal activism through groups like NCLA yields tangible liberty expansions where public opinion already leans that way. Overturning Chevron constrained unelected bureaucrats, Heller affirmed individual gun rights nationwide, and other rulings erode old censorship norms. These victories matter because they protect rights concretely and shift cultural recognition of those rights. Yet courts cannot impose libertarian limits against majority will or entrenched political demands for spending and intervention—the Constitution itself permits far more than a free society demands. Sustainable freedom requires a critical mass of people who understand government action as immoral when private actors would face condemnation.The Remnant Approach: The One Reliable Path to Advance LibertyAlbert Jay Nock's "Isaiah's Job" provides the blueprint libertarians need: stop chasing mass conversion and focus on improving yourself—deepening knowledge of morality, economics, and liberty. This draws the "remnant"—independent thinkers scattered everywhere who sense the status quo's failures and seek better answers. They approach receptive, not resistant, because they ask first. When crises expose statism's bankruptcy (as in Argentina's turn toward Austrian ideas), prepared remnant ideas stand ready. Christians especially grasp this: faithfulness to truth persists even without immediate societal transformation, much like discipleship amid an unremade world.Practical Ways to Increase Liberty NowThe remnant strategy works in daily life through personal choices that expand freedom despite the state. Homeschooling exploded post-COVID because remnant families had already built alternatives—curricula, networks, conviction—ready when government schools faltered. Moving to freer jurisdictions (states, countries), minimizing taxes legally, starting businesses in low-regulation areas, and making trade-offs (e.g., Switzerland's high freedom with grocery shopping across the border, or prioritizing family proximity) let individuals thrive. These steps reject the false binary of total liberty or misery, embracing pragmatism while holding moral absolutism on aggression and intervention.Positive Trends Show Liberty Quietly WinningDespite federal overreach, liberty advances incrementally. Marijuana legalization spread far faster than predicted, gun rights expanded via court rulings, conscription ended, speech protections strengthened compared to World War I repression, and slavery's legacy ended. Globally, freer markets slashed extreme poverty and boosted living standards. The Cato Institute's human progress indicators confirm markets quietly improve lives even amid bad policy. Americans overlook these gains while fixating on negatives, but the trajectory favors more freedom when ideas spread among the remnant.Conclusion: Can Libertarians Win? Yes—Through the Remnant, Not PoliticsLibertarians can win real victories for liberty in our lifetime, but only by abandoning electoral shortcuts that erode principles and embracing the remnant path that builds lasting change. Politics delivers more government; personal action delivers discrete freedoms; the remnant spreads the moral and economic case that makes freedom sustainable. For Christians called to a free society, this means living the truth now—improving ourselves, drawing seekers, celebrating incremental wins—trusting ideas to prevail when the moment arrives. Liberty grows not by capturing the state but by freeing minds one at a time.Additional ResourcesIsaiah's Job by Albert Jay Nock — The classic essay on the remnant strategy.Libertarianism Today by J...

A friend of mine sits on the board of the largest Christian school in our valley. He loves this country, loves his neighbors, loves God (or at least he's working on it, same as the rest of us). So why did he respond to millions of peaceful fellow citizens exercising their constitutional rights with laughing emojis? That question has been gnawing at me for months. This episode tries to answer it. When millions of Americans took to the streets last month in the No Kings rallies, peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights, the response from Donald Trump, Republican members of Congress, and leading voices in the MAGA movement was contempt. Not critique. Not engagement. Contempt. This solo episode asks why, and works through what that contempt actually costs us: constitutionally and civically.

More in Common's research into Trump voters found one thread running through every category of the broader MAGA coalition: deep, abiding resentment toward the left. Not policy disagreement. Resentment. Years of accumulated grievance about cancel culture, political correctness, and perceived condescension. The laughing emojis are that resentment expressing itself, not a constitutional argument. The constitutional inventory is not abstract. Article One gives Congress, not the president, the power to levy taxes — yet sweeping tariff schemes were imposed anyway. Article One gives Congress the sole power to declare war — yet Iran was attacked without a declaration, without consulting Congress, and without a coherent plan. The Supreme Court, including three Republican-appointed justices, told the administration directly that it had grabbed power the Constitution never granted it. The First Amendment protections being invoked by No Kings protesters are the same ones being systematically pressured. Trump threatened, attacked, and sued CBS, ABC, and the Des Moines Register for coverage he didn't like. Outlets were banned from the Pentagon for declining to sign loyalty pledges to the president rather than the Constitution. An aggressive ICE presence in city streets has turned the right to peaceably assemble into a theoretical right for millions of people. Whataboutism is cauterization, not argument. “But what about Obama” and “what about Hunter Biden” don't refute a single fact presented in this episode. They don't explain away the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs. They don't restore one deported citizen. They don't account for the dead. What they do is create enough noise to make facing the truth feel optional — burning the nerve endings so the pain stops registering. The Constitution is a covenant, not a rulebook. It doesn't grade on a curve based on how much you resent the other side. It's a promise the founders made to future generations that we recommit to each other every time we stand up for it — or fail to.

1. Democratic Impeachment Strategy Playbook Revealed Democrats intend to impeach and remove both Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance if they gain control of Congress. Democrats would change Senate impeachment rules to allow live witnesses and prolonged trials to pressure Republicans into defecting. Impeachment is being used as a political weapon rather than a constitutional remedy. 2. Role of George Conway George Conway is articulating this strategy in interviews. Conway is emblematic of the Democratic Party’s broader agenda. His congressional candidacy is evidence that these views are part of official Democratic messaging. 3. Accusations of Constitutional Norm Violations Democrats openly reject constitutional norms while claiming to “restore” them. Impeachment norms are being intentionally discarded to eliminate political opponents. An existential break from 250 years of governance tradition. 4. “Never Trump” Narrative Asserts a long-running coordinated effort to: Financially ruin Trump and his family, Invalidate election outcomes, Prosecute and imprison Trump, Remove him from political life entirely. Impeachment is the final phase of this campaign. 5. Political Violence and Extremism Alleges Democrats are morally or indirectly responsible for assassination attempts against Trump. Uses this claim to argue that political opposition has escalated beyond democratic processes. 6. Government Censorship Allegations The federal government—specifically agencies created or expanded under Barack Obama—are censoring conservative media. Focuses on the Global Engagement Center (GEC), alleging it was weaponized against U.S. conservatives rather than foreign threats. Cites lawsuits and media investigations to argue conservative speech was deliberately suppressed. 7. Media and the “Deep State” Mainstream media concealed these actions from the public. Describes federal agencies as part of a “deep state” aligned against conservatives. Warns that these mechanisms would be reactivated if Democrats regain power. 8. Overall Warning to Voters Concludes with a call to vigilance. Democratic electoral victories would result in: Constitutional erosion, Mass political purges, Expanded censorship of dissenting voices.

Sometimes, news happens in the real world, and suddenly a political or civics topic becomes very top of mind for members of the public.  And when that happens, we at Civics 101 often say, hey…we have an episode about that. One of those conversations happened this week, after a tweet from President Trump related to the war in Iran had some conservative, traditionally pro-Trump voices evoking a specific part of the Constitution - the 25th Amendment. Back in 2022, we made an episode breaking down the 25th Amendment, and it's pretty thorough about its history and what it means. So, given that it's on folks' minds right now, we've decided to drop that episode again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Joe opens the show with a chilling cold open: a Georgia library is stripped of its polling station and residents are now directed to vote inside a mosque. He then drops the hammer — the leadership class is purposefully driving America toward war. From CAIR's celebration of Hamtramck, Michigan's new law allowing religious animal sacrifices in residential backyards (passed by an all-Muslim city council) to Florida and Texas designating CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations while Washington does nothing, Joe exposes how foreign ideologies hostile to Western values are being imported and empowered. The Founding Fathers never envisioned this, yet special interests now hijack the Constitution while Americans are treated like visitors in their own land.The assault continues in the schools and culture. Joe highlights disturbing AP U.S. Government textbooks that paint Barack Obama as a “right-wing authoritarian,” equate Hillary Clinton with George W. Bush, and cast Donald Trump as virtually indistinguishable from Hitler. He plays clips of activists declaring White people have “no culture” and should stop enjoying sports or ethnic restaurants, while a Georgia Democrat running for state house openly says Trump voters should lose internet access for four years. Add the demographic reality that over half of U.S. babies are now born to non-White mothers, fueled by open borders and subsidized living, and the replacement playbook becomes impossible to ignore.In the guest segment, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Casey Putsch joins Joe to discuss leaked information that nearly ended his campaign and why he sees Vivek Ramaswamy as a globalist Trojan horse. Joe closes by calling out the same division tactics inside Colorado's Republican Party, where infighting serves the same chaos machine. From mosques as polling places to textbooks rewriting history, the message is unmistakable: the elite are engineering conflict because division equals power. Joe makes it crystal clear — until Americans demand accountability and secure our elections and borders, the march to war will only accelerate.

In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we explore the evolution of political parties in the United States and how the country's party system developed into what we see today. The Constitution never mentioned political parties, and many of the nation's founders were openly skeptical of them. So how did parties become one of the most powerful forces in American politics? We walk through the rise and fall of early parties, from the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans to the emergence of the modern Democratic and Republican parties. Along the way, we look at key political realignments, shifting voter coalitions, and the historical events that reshaped party identities over time. This episode provides a clear, nonpartisan look at how political parties formed, why they evolved, and how their development continues to shape elections and policy debates in the United States today. ⁠Watch⁠ this episode on YouTube.

Let's step into a time machine and tell the American Founding Fathers what they should have done as they were writing the Constitution!Join us every Thursday for Pop Quizzes and Sketches in History, and be sure to tune in on Mondays for our episodes and discussions. We love to hear from you as well, so post your comments below!

The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments on a very important case related to birthright citizenship. The Justices will decide whether an executive order can limit birthright citizenship, despite the court's past interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution ratified more than 150 years ago. Birth tourism reveals one example of many loopholes in the system, according to Peter Schweizer. An important issue to consider!

Join Washington Examiner Senior Writer David Harsanyi and Federalist Editor-In-Chief Mollie Hemingway as they analyze President Donald Trump's wartime rhetoric, examine the alleged ceasefire deal with Iran, and review who will replace ex-Attorney General Pam Bondi. Mollie and David also share their culture picks for the week. Pre-order Mollie's book Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution here.The Federalist Foundation is a nonprofit, and we depend entirely on our listeners and readers — not corporations.

Foreign interference in our elections is the broad theme on today's episode of The Drill Down, as hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers discuss birthright citizenship at the Supreme Court, ActBlue's foreign donor problem, and a lawsuit in Virginia over allowing the foreign-born children of people who once lived in Virginia to vote in the state's elections.

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara—a landmark case that seeks to fundamentally rewrite the substance and meaning of one of the most important provisions of the Constitution: birthright citizenship. In this special episode of On the Issues, Dr. Goodwin unpacks Trump's attack on birthright citizenship, which is widely recognized as one of the Constitution's most fundamental rights and has been protected by the 14th Amendment for over 150 years, pointing out how it echoes a Confederate playbook, and seeks to reshape the fabric of our very nation. Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

Trump v. Barbara - the birthright citizenship case - reaches the Supreme Court, and we are there.  Akhil and Andy are at the oral argument, and immediately afterwards we stand outside the courthouse and you hear (and see, from the linked video) the emotions that affected not only your hosts, but no doubt the justices themselves as the case unfolded. Then it's off to the audiotape, as we play the clips of the Justices and the advocates, and Akhil does his Howard Cosell imitation, analyzing the arguments as you hear them.  Given the Professor's status as the author of an amicus brief in the case, a brief the Solicitor General chose to take on in his own reply brief, the perspective this episode offers our audience - you - is unique.  So with the arguments of the advocates; the questions of the justices; and the knowledge of the amicus, you will know as much as anyone and be in the best position to assess the case as a whole - after listening to this special episode and those to follow. And as always, CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.

And Pam Bondi earned a pink slip. ----- The Supreme Court heard oral argument on Trump's effort to erase birthright citizenship from the Constitution via executive order, and it went as poorly for the administration as expected. But that didn't deter Trump from taking the unprecedented step of attending the argument personally. The president didn't last the whole time though, heading for the exit mid-proceeding as it became clear that his Solicitor General was getting boatraced by the competition. Afterward, the graduates of the Twitter School of Law ran to their computers to complain about Justice Jackson because... racism. Meanwhile, a Texas judge earns viral infamy for sniping at an IT worker and then doubled down on arrogance. And the Attorney General got canned.

We are in the midst of Trump's mop up operation.Decades of neglect and Trump is refurbishing America, room by room.There are two things you should do in all your decisions.First, think about the opposite side of your viewpoint.Second, take your viewpoint to its logical conclusion.You do these two things and you can likely find the answer to almost any issue.What we just witnessed with Stanley Woodward isn't just a staffing change, it's a full-blown political drive-thru experience, where the order gets placed, handed out, and yanked back before you even find the fries.Now consider the timing, because timing in politics tends to expose truth the way a neon light exposes a cheap motel. One minute, Woodward is stepping into a powerful DOJ role, a position that demands precision, loyalty, and at least a passing familiarity with the Constitution; the next minute, Laura Loomer is ringing the alarm bell like Paul Revere with Wi-Fi, pointing out that this guy might not exactly be rowing in the same direction as the boat he just boarded.And what follows from that is where the comedy writes itself, because we were all told that Trump 2.0 was going to be tighter, sharper, a version of the administration that learned from its first go-round. Instead, what we're seeing looks less like a well-oiled machine and more like a fantasy football draft where someone auto-picks players from the wrong team.Now let's slow this down just enough to savor the absurdity, because Woodward isn't just some random bureaucrat who slipped through the cracks. According to Loomer's reporting, this is a man with a donation history tied to Barack Obama, which by itself might earn you a raised eyebrow, not a full-blown panic. However, once you layer in the detail that he and his wife allegedly took legal swings at Donald Trump, the situation transforms from eyebrow-raising to sitcom-level confusion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the media are partisan activists hate the Constitution and the American people. Neither the Supreme Court justices during oral arguments for birthright citizenship nor the critical headlines offered any substantive counters, such as a single statement from the authors of the 1866 Act or 14th Amendment supporting universal citizenship for children of illegal aliens. If the Court constitutionalizes birthright citizenship for children of aliens or illegal aliens—something with no basis in the Constitution—it would enshrine a policy Congress has never enacted, leading to monumental consequences, including incentivized mass illegal immigration, exploitation by China through birth tourism, and future security risks from citizens with foreign loyalties holding sensitive positions. Also, did you know the American Revolution actually began well before 1776 and was, in fact, decades in the making? Did you know that we lost more battles than we won? Did you know only about 40-45% of the colonists supported the war?  One can only imagine what the "forever war" crowd today would have said and how they would've trashed George Washington and the patriots had they been roaming the earth back then. Later, a scandal has emerged over the extraction of two downed pilots in Iran, involving a leak that revealed the U.S. was searching for them. The leak endangered the second pilot's life, as the enemy was previously unaware, forcing a race against time to rescue him before they could act.  Trump stated that the media company which released the information must surrender it under national security grounds or face jail. The First Amendment does not provide immunity from prosecution in national security cases. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Michael Savage reacts to Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship. He argues that the debate is dominated by legal "tricksters" and should be decided by a national referendum rather than lawyers. He explains that modern conditions make the Constitution outdated on this issue and claims people travel late in pregnancy to have a child in the U.S. to gain citizenship. He blames the ACLU for enabling illegal immigration, overturning voter outcomes, and protecting groups that abuse welfare and public services nationwide. He urges Trump to pursue the ACLU under RICO statutes. He then discusses immigration as Donald Trump's top issue, urging "deport, deport, deport."   Talk to precious metals specialists who understand the Great Gold Reset.

UNBIASED University is in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she's breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more. In this episode of UNBIASED University, we pull back the curtain on the hidden power players in Washington and examine how influence actually works behind the scenes. Who are lobbyists, what do they legally do, and how do Political Action Committees, Super PACs, and so-called dark money groups operate within the campaign finance system? We break down the difference between direct lobbying and independent expenditures, how campaign finance laws have evolved over time, and what Supreme Court decisions have shaped the modern political funding landscape. We also explain the rules around disclosure, coordination, and contribution limits so you can better understand what is legal, what is controversial, and why these systems generate so much debate. Whether you view these groups as essential participants in a representative democracy or as outsized influencers in American politics, this episode provides a clear, nonpartisan explanation of how money and advocacy intersect with power in Washington.

6. Oliver Cromwell: Lord Protector of the Republic Guest Author: Jonathan Healey Following the regicide, England became a republic under the "Instrument of Government," a written constitution drafted by John Lambert. Oliver Cromwell rose as Lord Protector, using military skill to bring stability to a nation surrounded by hostile European monarchs. Though he refused the crown in 1657, favoring a rule based on Parliamentary authority, Cromwell's reign was defined by his personal strength and the imposition of unpopular Puritan values. Despite his inconsistencies and brutal campaigns in Ireland, he successfully held disparate factions together until his death in 1658, after which the republic began to collapse. (6)1650 JAN LIEVENS
