1/4: Equality of Opportunity: A Century of Debate Hardcover – by David Davenport (Author), Gordon Lloyd (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Equality-Opportunity-Century-David-Davenport/dp/0817925848 For over one hundred years, Americans have debated what equality of opportunity means and the role of government in ensuring it. Are we born with equality of opportunity, and must we thus preserve our innate legal and political freedoms? Or must it be created through laws and policies that smooth out social or economic inequalities? David Davenport and Gordon Lloyd trace the debate as it has evolved from America's founding into the twentieth century, when the question took on greater prominence. The authors use original sources and historical reinterpretations to revisit three great debates and their implications for the discussions today. First, they imagine the Founders, especially James Madison, arguing the case against the Progressives, particularly Woodrow Wilson. Next are two conspicuous public dialogues: Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's debate around the latter's New Deal; and Ronald Reagan's response to Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society and War on Poverty. The conservative-progressive divide in this discussion has persisted, setting the stage for understanding the differing views about equality of opportunity today. The historical debates offer illuminating background for the question: Where do we go from here? 1890 PA

This week, we're covering Lyndon B. Johnson's wife, "Lady Bird" Johnson, an incredibly intelligent and successful woman in her own right. Not only was she the *first* President's wife to earn well over $1,000,000 before becoming First Lady, she also prevented our nation's highways from growing littered with billboards & rubble, and inspired Lyndon's presidential career. Without her, he might never have run in the first place. We split this into a two-parter to make 2 hours of history a bit less daunting :). Part 1 includes Lady Bird's early life, LBJ's (crazy) courtship, and the JFK assassination. Part 2 covers campaigning for elected office, the fight for civil rights, a gay White House scandal, how Lady Bird dealt with her husband's rampant fillandering, and more. Featuring: proposing on the first date, "vice" presidents, a remarkable impression of Obama, Matt Rife, overly-hyped phalluses, and more. Suggestions for a sibling or spouse we should cover?

Hurry up and pay your union dues, because today's Remnant is all about labor. It's been more than a week since his departure, but Jonah's still lost in the wilds of the heartland, vainly attempting to overcome his mid-life crisis from an RV living room. In these desperate times, Chris Stirewalt reassumes control of the program to bend it to his West Virginian will, but thankfully, he's joined by a special guest who brings some leaven to the Goldberg-less loaf. That guest is renowned historian Amity Shlaes, who's here to discuss the origins of labor unions, Lyndon B. Johnson's relationship with industry, and the elections of the 1960s and ‘70s. It's a crash course in US history that'll leave you significantly more pro-Coolidge.

It was the most controversial election in American history. Was it 2016? Or 2020? No -- according to Luke A. Nichter, it was 1968. In this episode, we interview Professor Nichter about that pivotal election and how it changed the United States.

This week, we're revisiting our episode “What Is Appalachia?” from December 2021. Appalachia connects mountainous parts of the South, the Midwest, the Rust belt and even the Northeast. The Appalachian Regional Commission defined the boundaries for Appalachia in 1965 with the creation of the Appalachian Regional Commision, a part of Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty. It was legislation that sought to expand social welfare, and some localities were eager for the money, while others resisted the designation. The boundaries and definition of Appalachia can now only be changed by an act of Congress. Politically, Appalachia encompasses 423 counties across 13 states — and West Virginia's the only state entirely inside the region. That leaves so much room for geographic and cultural variation, as well as many different views on what Appalachia really is. For Inside Appalachia, we turned our entire episode over to the question, “What is Appalachia?” With stories from Mississippi to Pittsburgh, we asked people across our region whether they consider themselves to be Appalachian.
With the Bark Off: Conversations from the LBJ Presidential Library
Samuel Freedman is a Professor at Columbia University and the award-winning author of ten books. In Into the Bright Sunshine he looks at the life of Hubert Humphrey, who would become Senator from Minnesota, Vice President to Lyndon Johnson, and the Democratic presidential nominee in 1968, who lost his bid for the presidency to Richard Nixon by less than one percentage point.But it's Humphrey's early years that Samuel Freedman covers in his book, chronicling Humphrey's humble beginnings in smalltown South Dakota and his move to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Humphrey launched an activist political career that helped to change the trajectory of civil rights in America.

This is the first episode in an occasional series examining major counterfactual scenarios in history. As the 60th anniversary of his assassination approaches, a question still hangs over John F. Kennedy's legacy: had he lived and been reelected, would he have withdrawn from Vietnam? It's a tantalizing counterfactual, not only because LBJ's escalation led to an epic tragedy, but because of the relevant lessons we can apply to our foreign policy dilemmas today. In this episode, eminent Vietnam scholar Fredrik Logevall separates fact from myth concerning Kennedy's ideas and intentions for withdrawing U.S. military advisors from the Cold War theater of Southeast Asia. Note: The source of the Kennedy audio tapes is millercenter.org at the University of Virginia.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show— Here are 3 big things you need to know right now— Number One— Florida is prepping for a Hurricane strike on the Gulf Coast side—and it looks like the storm—Idalia will be getting stronger before making landfall sometime midday on Wednesday— Number Two— 99% of so-called Covid deaths are not caused primarily by the virus—in fact the number is tiny—and that is according to the CDC—BUT the push for vaccines and more is ramping up all over again— Number Three— I am the problem—at least according to liberal and progressive doctrine—its me—I am to blame for the problems of America—and frankly all the problems the world has ever known can be laid directly at my feet so say the enlightened ones— Its not because I make too much money or not enough—its not because I take government handouts—not because I am addicted to drugs or have any violent tendencies—its not because I smoke—or anything else—it has only to do with just one thing— I'm white—and therefore according to Joe Biden and all the other far-left socialists running around in Washington—it is me—and anyone that looks like me that is to blame for everything that has ever gone wrong—and unless my kind are kept in check it will be the end of freedom, Democracy and of course America— None of that is true of course—BUT that is the next big talking point and we have heard this before lots of times—BUT that doesn't make it anymore true than it was back then— It is also a clear indication that the left keeps seeing polling numbers for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris—and realize they are in very serious political peril—in fact one might say it looks like the ship is sinking—right along side the feeble presidents failing poll numbers— So, how desperate are the Democrats—well a shooting in Jacksonville has become just about the only thing they are talking about—they are shrill and screaming about white supremacy and how it is the biggest threat to the nation—and that its far more pervasive and prevalent than anyone actually realizes— Of course that is all false as well— Its been over 160 years since Democrats got together to create the Ku Klux Klan—and more than 100 years since the Klan reached its heyday during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson—a Democrat and one of the most openly racist Presidents of all time—in fact he ranks right up there with the openly racist Lyndon Baines Johnson—But it was Wilson that screened the racist film Birth of a Nation in The White House itself— But make no mistake Democrats don't care much about factual historical accounts of what their party really is—and ALWAYS has been— They don't want to talk about Democrat Governor George Wallace—another outspoken racist—who ran for President on the idea of segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever to keep blacks and whites in America separate—and keep the black population in its place— Of course—the Democrats now claim—falsely of course that at some point the parties switched—does that mean that Ronald Reagan was a Democrat as President? Richard Nixon too? Was JFK actually a Republican? Of course, that premise is ludicrous—because it has always been Republicans that have led the charge to fight for equal rights for blacks and all Americans in this nation—and everyone should know that by now—I mean the party was created to end slavery—which part did you miss in class on that one lefties? How about a refresher—Democrats wanted to keep black people enslaved so badly they caused a Civil War that cost 600,000 Americans their lives—the north fought to end the practice—and save the country— President Dwight D Eisenhower was the man that sent the National Guard to Little Rock to enforce the federal law of allowing black students into previously all white schools and Eisenhower was the President who signed the FIRST major Civil Rights bill into law in 1957—and he did so with the backing of Republican Senators in large part NOT Democrats—BUT history doesn't matter and neither do facts in 2023 Democrat politics— But facts matter to me— How about some more facts—that are more recent— How about the fact that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican by all accounts—and LBJ used language to describe black voters that I cannot repeat here—as his impetus for signing the Civil Rights Act of 1965—it was not to help out blacks but to help Democrats get and keep power— And of course Joe Biden is the man that attended the funeral of the former Grand Cyclops of the Klan—Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia—and praised him— he was flanked by the likes of Hillary and Bill Clinton in that praise— And yes Republicans have had their share of racists too—BUT to hear the Democrats tell the story now—they are as pure as the driven snow—while their GOP counterparts are simply evil and a threat to the nation— That whole theme was dragged out into the open again on Monday—and Joe Biden—who counted many segregationists among his close friends in Washington—worked to gaslight the world again—However, I can read—and I know who he is—I know that 2 million members of the Klan resided in Indiana in 1920—and they were almost all Democrats—AGAIN—facts that are easy to verify—and another reason I keep World Book Encyclopedias from years gone by—those facts cannot be erased by the Newspeak overlords of today— BUT Joe just blurts out what he is told to say— Sadly its not just politicians that are wrapped up in these lies—there are many members of the media that apparently have never read World Book Encyclopedia—or any actual books about American History—in fact they cannot even get recent history right—they just regurgitate the same old trite and false allegations about conservatives and Republicans— It is truly sad when so much ignorance gets so much exposure in the media—no wonder millions of people in this country are just so ill-informed— Like Ronald Reagan said—the problem with my liberal friends is that they know so much that just isn't true— And this all leads to some very problematic numbers and that is why Democrats everywhere are panicked and throwing the race card everywhere— I mean, lets be honest like we always are here—the Democrats have no policies that actually benefit black Americans or Americans in general—the spending is out of control creating a nightmare scenario in the economy—and mocking people for not understanding that Bidenomics is actually good for everyone is a BIG FAT LOSER too— The border—the billions to Ukraine while Hawaii is pushed to the back burner to be forgotten again—it really is appalling and that is why—there is a shift in this nation—away from the losing policies and back to a common sense approach—and why people are willing to vote for people they don't like to get the policies they do— Its time to put America First—and we do that by rejecting the empty identity politics and the politics of race—
In 1973, D. Keith Mano wrote his only science fiction book, The Bridge. It takes place in 2035, over 60 years since its original publication, but only 12 years from today. It is about radical environmentalism run amok with a “green” socialist government. The government decides to give earth back to nature, after already protecting all animal and plant life, but the fact that we destroy microbes every time we breathe is the final straw. Cars have been eliminated, people return to the fields. The world is incapable of complex technology. Obesity is social standing. There is resistance, but it is ineffective. Diseases must go untreated. Tumors are declared autonomous life forms, and protected. Everyone must commit suicide, squads are deployed to kill those who don't and then they will commit suicide, until the earth is free of all humans. The hero, Priest, is determined not to die but to find his wife. He must cross the decayed and destroyed George Washington Bridge, hence, the book's name. When I read the book, 50 years ago, six years out of undergraduate school, I felt it was dystopian fiction, imaginative but implausible. Just yesterday I read of a scientist in a scholarly journal who discussed the “full life of plants, including their communications and emotions.” Barry Goldwater was urgently warned in his presidential bid in 1964 NOT to say that extremism is sometimes justified. Yet he said, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.” He lost in a landslide to Lyndon B. Johnson. Exercise, religion, philanthropy, volunteerism, education, travel: You name it, anything that takes you to extremes is likely to be terrible for you, even if moderate amounts are positive for you. I'm predicting that the inhumane harvesting of animals will be a major and divisive cause in the near future, and it deserves to be remedied. But ending the consumption of animals by law is well on the way over the slope. Do you think you can't be arrested for harming a tree or a bush? A woman just petitioned the Rhode Island legislature to make it a felony to use your fingers to pretend to point a fictitious gun at someone. When everyone's every grievance is a demand that the entire world observes and honors, otherwise there is oppression and resultant entitlement, we may just be heading for The Bridge. Good luck trying to cross it.

On this edition of Parallax Views, historian Luke A. Nichter, author of such books as The Nixon Tapes (w/ Douglas Brinkley), The Last Brahmin: Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and the Making of the Cold War, and Lyndon B. Johnson: Pursuit of Populism, Paradox of Power, joins the show to discuss his new book The Year That Broke Politics: Collusion and Chaos in the Presidential Election of 1968. Although many think of the 1960s as the "summer of love", it was in truth an era of great turbulence and tumult beyond all the imagery of flower-pop and free love as depicted in pop culture explorations of the era. 1968, in particular, was particularly chaotic year both domestically within the U.S. and internationally. The Vietnam war was raging. It was a time of protests. The assassinations of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy. Lyndon Johnson announced that he would not be seeking another term in office. Riots broke out outside the Democratic National Convention. And an election was in our midst that would see Republican Richard Nixon, Democrat Hubert Humphrey, and pro-segregation third-party candidate George Wallace. Luke will take us through what that year meant political, delve into how LBJ may have dropped out of the race but not out of making political maneuverings, evangelist Billy Graham's only recently discovered role in the election year and the campaigns, what motivated the voters with their decision at the ballot box in 1968, Luke's questioning of the narrative that Nixon's "Southern Strategy" played an outside role in the election outcome, the meaning of 1968 in the age of Trump and in lieu of the 2024 election, Nixon's centrism?, and much, much more.
With the Bark Off: Conversations from the LBJ Presidential Library
Late last year we did a “best of” year-end podcast that focused on top moments from With the Bark Off. It was no easy task to choose those moments given the sheer volume of great material we had to draw from, but it was fun and proved to be very popular among our listeners. We decided to make this a biannual thing to reflect on those moments that stood out to us in the last six months. In this episode you will find vignettes on Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Edith Wilson, Jackie Kennedy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Joe Biden.
Lance Morrow, brilliant journalist and author of The Chief, riffs about the history of journalism with Tim Moore. We loved hearing about the influence of The Saturday Evening Post and the "metabolism" of news consumers. Lance waxes nostalgically about his parents covering FDR and Truman. "It was like Atlantis, another world in a another time." Morrow served as a Senate page during the days of Goldwater, Rayburn, Dirkson, young JFK, and Joe McCarthy was in full cry, "smelling of whiskey." LBJ was in the minority. Lance would bring Johnson a dish of vanilla ice cream. His perspective is priceless.
Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, with opposing parties, leadership styles, and personalities, were two of the most impactful figures in America in the 1960s. During a period of political turmoil--global superpowers on the brink of nuclear war, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr., war, and racial strife--two men from different parties shepherded monumental legislation (the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the Great Society, etc.) through the Senate with bipartisan consensus. How did they pull it off? In this episode, we talk with author and historian Marc Johnson about these two men, their leadership styles, their relationship with each other (and with Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson), and their accomplishments. Importantly, though, we talk about whether or not it's possible in today's political environment to do what they did the way they did it. We talk about the lessons that political leaders, including those in Oregon politics, can learn from these two men--and how specifically their approach might have been fundamentally different than most politicians' today. If you enjoy The Oregon Bridge podcast, you will love this book ("Mansfield and Dirksen: Bipartisan Giants of the Senate"). For young people who have only ever known a dysfunctional Congress, it's a beautiful portrait of two fascinating leaders who guided the US Senate during turbulent times. For everyone, it's a reminder of what's possible when exceptional leaders use political power to solve big problems.
In the latest episode of the Plan B CRNA Podcast, I dive into the intriguing realm of motivation, drawing inspiration from a personal anecdote involving my youngest daughter's journey to conquer swimming. To kick things off, I open with a quote from Lyndon B. Johnson that brilliantly illustrates how the world's perception can shape our reality. From there, I delve into my own experiences as a parent, recounting the tale of my six-year-old daughter's pursuit of swimming prowess over the summer.This experience got me thinking about the three main ways motivation operates, not just in parenting but in all life aspects. First, the external chatter can bog us down. Second, we can brush off the negativity and stay authentic. Lastly, we can leverage criticism to fuel our drive. In a candid exploration, I discuss how the ever-tempting world of social media can deflate or supercharge our motivation. Drawing from my daughter's journey, I underline the significance of finding our personal motivational triggers and sustaining action alongside motivation.

This is the second of two episodes featuring Aaron's interview with two luminaries of US anti-imperialism—Daniel Ellsberg and Peter Dale Scott. Daniel Ellsberg was an analyst for the Pentagon and RAND before he made the fateful decision to leak the Pentagon Papers—a top secret study on the US involvement in Vietnam from Truman to LBJ. Ellsberg is the author of two memoirs—Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers, and The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. He is also the subject of The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, an Oscar-nominated documentary that Edward Snowden credited for inspiring his own act of whistleblowing. Peter Dale Scott is a former Canadian diplomat and retired UC Berkeley Professor of English. He is the author of numerous books of poetry and prose, including The War Conspiracy, Coming to Jakarta, Deep Politics and the Death of JFK, Cocaine Politics (with Jonathan Marshall), Drugs, Oil, and War, The Road to 9/11, American War Machine, and The American Deep State. This interview was originally recorded in October of 2018 at Marin College during Project Censored's Media Freedom Summit. Big thanks to everybody at Project Censored who helped with this, especially Mickey Huff, Anthony Fest, Dennis Murphy and John Bertucci! Special thanks to Dana Chavarria for producing the episode!

This is the first of two episodes where we give you a chance to listen in on John Connally giving advice to Presidents of the United States. In this first episode, we listen to the Texas Governor advising his old friend and mentor Lyndon Johnson as to how things look on the ground throughout the south just before the 1964 election. It is with Johnson that Connally had the most influence and in whose debt Connally was the most in for his own remarkable career. John Connally had been LBJ's campaign manager throughout many of the Presidents political races and Connally had Johnson's ear. It is also worth noting that it was Connally that managed both of Johnson's campaigns for the United States Senate, one in which he called in his vote totals on time only to watch the Johnson lead evaporate into a loss to former Texas Governor W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel, and then, seven years later, it was John Connally who was on the ground in Alice, Texas when LBJ won his Senate seat by 87 votes in one precinct in which it was alleged the voter roll sheet had been signed in the same ink, with the same handwriting, to carry Johnson into history over another Texas Governor, Coke Stevenson. In this episode you will hear the two men discuss the 1964 campaign and where Johnson stands and just how big a disaster a Robert Kennedy appointment to the Vice Presidency would be for the campaign in the South.

American schools have always been more than where we go to learn the ABCs: They're places where socialization happens and cultural norms are developed. And arguments over what those norms are and how they're communicated tend to flare up during moments of cultural anxiety — like the one we're in now.When it premiered in 1969, the kids' TV show Sesame Street was part of a larger movement to reach lower-income, less privileged and more "urban" children. It was part of LBJ's Great Society agenda. And though it was funded in part by taxpayer dollars, Sesame Street is a TV show, not a classroom, and it set out to answer the question of what it means to educate kids. Today: how a television show made to represent Harlem and the Bronx reached children across a divided country, and how the conversations on the street have changed alongside us

Are the Democrats headed for a 1968 Convention problem? Mike and Q review the latest in the current presidential race by looking back at 1968 when the incumbent dropped from the race only months before the convention and the chaos that ensued. Mike only gives it a 25% max chance that President Biden doesn't run, but if he doesn't and waits too late to announce - history could be revisited. In March of 1968, LBJ blindsided his staff, party, and the country by announcing that he wouldn't seek reelection months before the Democratic party nominating convention in Chicago. Because it was so late in the process it caused chaos and riots in/at the convention and the Dems ended up handing the Oval Office to Richard Nixon. Q and Mike hope Joe Biden doesn't make the same mistake. - Welcome to Cutting Though from the Quintana Network. Q and former legislator Mike Gatto cut through the noise and nonsense of California politics to let you know what's really going down at the Capitol and around the state.

This July is the 75th anniversary of the critical 1948 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, during which Hubert Humphrey, then the mayor of Minneapolis, gave a stirring and surprisingly successful speech asking the Democratic Party to commit itself to civil rights and to ending segregation. This caused the southern Dixiecrats to walk out and to run Strom Thurman for president—in order to teach the Democrats a lesson. But Truman's upset win over Dewey, caused in no small part by a surge of support from Black voters in northern cities, taught the Democrats a totally different lesson, and set the stage for Truman's desegregation of the military. That led to Brown v. Board of Education and the Montgomery bus boycotts of the 1950s, and to the civil rights legislation that LBJ, with the help of his Vice President Hubert Humphrey, pushed through Congress in the 1960s. Freedman presents a revisionist and riveting look at the American politician whom history has judged a loser because his vice presidency ended in disgrace during the Vietnam War, partially due to the chaos surrounding the also contentious 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago—after which Humphrey lost to Richard Nixon. Yet Humphrey played a key leadership role in the greatest social movement of the 20th century. Freedman explores Humphrey's early life, from a remote, all-white hamlet in South Dakota to the political heights of Minnesota, as he tackles its notorious racism and anti-Semitism and solidifies his role as a national champion of multiracial democracy. His allies in that struggle include a Black newspaper publisher, a Jewish attorney, and a professor who had fled Nazi Germany. His adversaries are the white supremacists, Christian Nationalists, and America Firsters of mid-century America—one of whom tried to assassinate him. Celebrating one of the often overlooked landmarks of civil rights history, Freedman illuminates the early life and enduring legacy of the man who helped bring it about.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Senator Chuck Grassley on the Senate floor announced that the 1023 form confirmed there are 17 secret recordings of Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and a Burisma executive who allegedly paid Biden. The recordings were kept as an insurance policy by the Burisma executive, whose name was redacted on an unclassified document. This shows why President Trump was indicted on bogus charges; they knew the knowledge of these tapes would come out and covered up for the Biden crime family yet again. Also, Congress passed the presidential records act because they decided presidential records should not belong to a president on their way out the door and have only existed since 1981 and were enacted under President Reagan. Before then, a president could take anything they wanted with them, including classified information. The Espionage Act could have been applied to Lyndon B Johnson and Jimmy Carter, and now Joe Biden for stealing documents while Vice President, but never was and won't be for Biden under this Department of Justice. We know all about Hillary Clinton's classified documents, destruction of records, and perjury, but was never charged despite doing it over and over again. Not a single President or Vice President has been charged with violating the Espionage Act until now with Donald Trump. When President Biden says he had no role in the Donald Trump documents case – he's a liar. The White House and the DOJ have been involved since day one. Obama's personal investment deals mirror tax strategies he once criticized. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Thursday's Mark Levin show, Bill Barr was Attorney General before and after Hillary Clinton's private server with classified information and her cover-up by destroying documents and smashing cell phones yet chose to do nothing about it. Now his purpose in life is to be a Donald Trump attack dog, and he is welcomed with open arms by the media to cheer on Trump's federal indictment over obstruction charges even though his reasoning goes around in circles. Hillary Clinton, Lyndon B Johnson, and Joe Biden did far worse than Trump but were never investigated under the Espionage Act. There is not any time in the history of the statute, since 1917, that it would ensnare a President, Vice President, or cabinet secretary. Also, President Biden is selling out the United States of America to Iran, whereas Donald Trump was as close as could be to toppling their Islamonazi regime. The Biden Administration is working on another deal with Iran, which is backed by China, Russia, and North Korea; an oral agreement where billions of dollars would be given to Iranians in exchange for a promise for them to stop doing what they're doing. We did the same thing with North Korea, and now they have ICBMs with nuclear warheads. If Iran takes the final step, it will own the Middle East. A deal like this is supposed to be a treaty, which involves the Senate in order to approve, because if we are going to have a treaty with another country the body politic must be involved because it affects all of us.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin show, the Espionage Act could have been applied to Lyndon B Johnson and Jimmy Carter, and now Joe Biden for stealing documents while Vice President, but never was and won't be for Biden under this Department of Justice. We know all about Hillary Clinton's classified documents, destruction of records, and perjury, but was never charged despite doing it over and over again. Not a single President or Vice President has been charged with violating the Espionage Act until now with Donald Trump. The National Archives has an extensive list of officials who have refused to give them documents, meaning an enormous amount of people could be charged with the Espionage Act but aren't. So many of these clowns dressed up as Republicans like Bill Barr, Chris Christie, and Mitch McConnell have no loyalty and would rather see Trump in jail. Trump has suffered through two preposterous impeachments, fake criminal investigations, lawsuits, and now this; Trump has been an endless target for Democrats, the FBI, and the Department of Justice. Also, Mark is joined by Senator Rick Scott about the arraignment of Donald Trump and the coverup of the Biden Crime family under this corrupt justice system. Learn more about your ad choices.
