Across America — and right here in Kansas — the political establishment is cutting We the People out of the process of governance.In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings exposes a dangerous and growing pattern: major decisions being made behind closed doors, without public votes, without transparency, and without consent.From government fraud buried by the media, to election systems that resist scrutiny, to global institutions operating without accountability — and finally to the Kansas City Chiefs deal pushed forward by political elites without giving Kansans a voice — this episode connects the dots.This is not about football. It's not about party labels. It's about process, power, and consent.A republic does not fall overnight. It erodes when the people are excluded.If we reward this behavior, we will get more of it.Support the show
