Something terribly wrong has been unfolding in the aftermath of a July 4, 2025 solidarity demonstration outside of the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, TX. Sam is joined by Alex and Blue, two supporters of the Prairieland Defendants, some of whom begin trial next week on Feb. 17th. On July 4th, around a dozen people gathered to make a display of noise and fireworks to express solidarity with immigrants and ICE detainees who face the threat of deportation under Trump's sweeping anti-immigration crackdown. The state's narrative about what happened that night is dubious and full of inconsistencies. What happened that night was a normal protest, but what has unfolded in the aftermath is a nightmare that seeks to rewrite how this country will treat anyone standing against rising authoritarianism.

Trump has invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime authority, to summarily deport suspected members of a Venezuelan gang. He also invoked a Cold War-era statute to deport a student activist at Columbia University. In this episode, Adam Cox of New York University and Ilya Somin of George Mason University join to discuss the scope of the president's deportation power and to evaluate whether the administration violated the due process or speech rights of the deportees.  Resources  Adam Cox and Cristina Rodríguez, The President and Immigration Law (2020)  Ilya Somin, Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom (2021)  Adam Cox and Ahilan Arulanantham, “Explainer on First Amendment and Due Process Issues in Deportation of Pro-Palestinian Student Activist(s),” Just Security (March 12, 2025)  Ilya Somin, “The Case Against Deporting Immigrants for ‘Pro-Terrorist' Speech,” Volokh Conspiracy (March 10, 2025)  Ilya Somin, “What Just Happened: The “Invasion” Executive Order and Its Dangerous Implications” Just Security (January 28, 2025)  Adam Cox, “The Invention of Immigration Exceptionalism,” Yale Law Review (November 2024)  Bridges v.

The reason is that they have all been infected injected and brainwashed by the same evil organization that chooses to rule the world. But the reality is, the reality is that we have all been brainwashed and duped. We are nothing but lab rats in a large experiment where global dominance is the key issue. We have to act and conform to the way they want us to, otherwise their plan would not be able to take fruition. So what is that plan? The plan is not only to dominate the minds of the week, but it is to condition the minds of the strong in order to prevent them from moving forward and taking a strong stance against evil. In other words doing something about it. You and I have been duped into pacifism, observational ism, and apathy. We have been made to believe that there is nothing to do about it and that the last thing we ever would want is to do something where we would be too radical for even ourselves. We have been conditioned not to fight back for our freedoms.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-they-don-t-want-you-to-know--848193/support.

June 4 marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in China. Usually, Hong Kongers take the lead in commemorating this event with massive candle light vigils. But, since China imposed its national security law in 2020, public criticism of the regime in Beijing has become dangerous. With their freedom of speech at risk, many have since fled to Taiwan. A self-imposed exile for those who hope to carry on the fight for civil liberties from across the Taiwan Strait.

http://www.patriciacori.com/ Hacking the God Code: The Conspiracy to Steal the Human Soul By Patricia Cori In this apocalyptic masterpiece, Patricia Cori reveals the epic battle for the soul of humanity, waged between the forces of darkness and light. Never has the conflict been more intense and the outcome more crucial for the very survival of our species and the evolution of our world. Hacking the God Code delivers what Cori calls a “booster shot of truth” to all who are ready to hear it. It exposes the sinister web of lies and manipulation that has been perpetrated upon humanity at all levels of society and the institutions we have been taught to trust. At this time of incredible upheaval, she exposes the tactics of a corrupt and unfathomably ruthless global cabal, whose aim it is to enslave us by destroying our precious DNA connection to God-Source energy. With the determination of an investigative journalist and the passion of a spiritual warrior, she brings to light the agenda of the New World Order and its “Global Reset,” and how it is targeting every soul on this planet. With the unshakable belief that the truth shall set us free from even the darkest manifestations against the human race, she offers critical solutions for healing, for finding the strength to fight back, and for manifesting a clear direction for the light teams amongst us to be empowered and liberated from fear for their health, the future of their children, and their very lives. We are in Armageddon, she affirms: a spiritual battle of darkness and light. “Only from that place of immutable strength can we reverse the destructive course set for us by a global political class of swarms of minions, who are dedicated to those who rule over them,” asserts Cori. “If we are to liberate ourselves from its grip, we must overcome any sense of powerlessness that still deters us.” In the second part of the book, Patricia offers critical tools for healing and for mental/spiritual purification. Leveraging the power of sacred geometry and sound, meditation and visualization, we can regain our sovereignty and harness the invincible power of God/Source to banish the forces of evil from our sacred Mother Earth. And to do that, she says, is not only our right, it is our destiny. Within 24 hours of launching, the book hit #1 Best Seller status in six Amazon categories, including: Evolution, Political Freedom, Genetics, Free Will and Determinism Philosophy, and Health Care Delivery. Hacking the God Code: The Conspiracy to Steal the Human Soul is distributed by Ingram and is available at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and booksellers worldwide. About Patricia Cori Patricia Cori is an internationally acclaimed author, public speaker and thought leader with 13 published works in over 22 foreign editions. The former host of the popular BBS radio show, Beyond the Matrix, she has been a guest on hundreds of radio and TV programs, including CNN and Coast to Coast AM.

Discredit, disrupt, and destroy. That is how the government plans to get rid of activists and dissidents who stand in its way. This has always been the modus operandi of the FBI (more aptly referred to as the Federal Bureau of Intimidation): muzzle anti-government sentiment, harass activists, and terrorize Americans into compliance.

Commentators across the political spectrum are scrambling for the hottest take on the raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, with Jonah Goldberg and Kurt Schlicter taking opposing views. But only the libertarians like Neily are consistent in condemning abuses of government power across the board.If only there was a way to step back from heated partisan debates and the 24-hour news cycle to assess what is fundamentally wrong with our democracy and propose a remedy. Indeed, my wish has been answered in the form of another brilliant thought experiment from the National Constitution Center, which assembled a libertarian version of the Dream Team to lay out a plan for Restoring the Guardrails of Democracy. They also solicited reports from Progressive and Conservative teams, but this Sunday my show will focus on the Team Libertarian's report.Team Libertarian includes both Clark Neily and Walter Olson of the Cato Institute, as well as frequent guest and friend of the show, Ilya Somin, who returns this Sunday to summarize the team's findings. The report puts a strong emphasis on criminal justice reform – something that the former President is likely to appreciate more now that he has been a victim of overzealous prosecution and the weaponization of the law. Their solution involves greater citizen participation, mainly through the restoration of jury trials as the norm in criminal cases, as opposed to plea bargains.Team Libertarian also takes Ilya Somin's ideas in Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom as a meaningful way to strengthen small-d democracy. Ballot voting, of course, is only one component of a healthy democratic system. When “voice” fails, citizens need many “exit” options to guarantee their liberties.

Christians have a secret: hope in Christ gives us the ability to endure everything life throws our way. But what about economic and political freedom? Doug and Norman tackle an important and oft-asked question about what kind(s) of freedom we are advocating for. Can we be free when we're living in tyranny? Or should we pursue political freedom as well?   Notes: If you or someone you know has more questions about Christian libertarianism make sure to check out Faith Seeking Freedom!

The Catholic Church has deep roots in China, and Cale discusses with David, the current state of the underground Catholic Church and the Patriotic church. Regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, China is interested in global domination but not global leadership. Will China use this war as a way to annex Taiwan? David does not think so and explains why. Resources mentioned: Middle Power Middle Kingdom by David Mulroney https://www.amazon.com/Middle-Power-Kingdom-Canadians-Century/dp/0670068187

Professor Ilya Somin stops by Supreme Myths to talk about his excellent book “Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration and Political Freedom,” the differences between originalism and living constitutionalism, and he defends George Mason naming its law school the Antonin Scalia Law School despite my arguments that Justice Scalia should not be honored in that way.

Ilya Somin, Professor of Law at George Mason University, and the author of Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom, joins host T.J. O'Hara on Deconstructed to explore migration between cities, states, countries, and even within the private sector to escape government barriers, overreach, and oppression. Professor Somin is a broadly published author and political commentator whose work has been featured by virtually every major media outlet both in print and on the air. His new book dissects migration at every level and the value it can bring. Mr. Somin provides a succinct definition of what he means by “foot voting,” which is essentially as it sounds: improving one's ability to favorably impact his or her life by moving to a more promising location or investing in an outside service. In his opinion, the less restrictive the regulation of movement, the better. It is an interesting discussion about a serious issue in today's world, particularly as the refugee issue is about to explode because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As a side note: Professor Somin has “put his money where his mouth is” in a very positive way. He is donating fifty percent of the proceeds of his book sales to support a refugee fund.

Ilya Somin, law professor at George Mason University, joins Tim Kane to talk about his book Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom, which is about to be updated and republished.

This is the audio version of the virtual book launch of 'A region in revolt: Mapping the recent uprisings in North Africa and West Asia'. I took part in it alongside a number of the co-authors of the book. See you all in 2021. The Fire These Times will be back in mid-January. A wave of mass protest movements has spread across North Africa and West Asia, including Sudan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon and Iran. The mass protests have much in common, from opposing authoritarian regimes and worsening economic situations to demanding radical changes in social relations. Despite their similarities, each protest movement operates under different conditions that cannot be ignored. The specific historic, political and economic contexts of each country have determined who the key actors of the uprisings are and their location across old and new divides. This book elaborates on these similarities and differences to paint a clearer picture of these movements and draw out lessons to inform future struggles. Edited by Jade Saab, a Lebanese/Canadian Researcher at the University of Glasgow, the contributors include Azza Mustafa and Sara Abbas (on Sudan); Hamza Hamouchene and Selma Oumari (on Algeria); Zeidon Alkinani (on Iraq); Jade Saab and Joey Ayoub (on Lebanon); and Frieda Afary (on Iran).

Mercatus Center Senior Research Fellow, Dan Griswold, sat down with Ilya Somin to discuss his new book, Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration and Political Freedom. Somin is a professor of law at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia School of Law. In addition to Free to Move, Somin is the author of several other books, including Democracy and Political Ignorance: Why Smaller Government is Smarter, and is a regular contributor to the popular blog, The Volokh Conspiracy. The audio, as well as the transcript of this conversation between Griswold and Somin, has been slightly edited for clarity. Love the show?

When we think of democracy, we typically think of voting; and when we think of voting, we ordinarily have elections and campaigns in minds. In this intuitive sense, voting is a matter of casting a ballot. After Election Day, votes are counted, and, typically, the majority rules. But things really aren't so simple. For one thing, citizens bring differing levels of information and ignorance into the voting booth. What's more, famous mathematical analyses cast doubt on the very idea of a majority will. Given this, what are we to make of democracy? In Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2020), Ilya Somin defends the idea that foot voting is an essential element of political freedom and democratic governance. Foot voting is the capacity of individuals to move to the jurisdiction or nation whose government most suits their preferences, or to select their favoured providers of various services.

Jimmy Sengenberger is joined at the Crossroads with Mica Soellner and Law Prof. Ilya Somin. Jimmy (@SengCenter) kicks off the show by explaining where BOTH sides – Trump and Democrats – go wrong on vote-by-mail system. Then, Washington Examiner Breaking News Reporter Mica Soellner (@MicaSoellner) joins Jimmy to discuss Trump's “fact-checked tweet” controversy, Gretchen Whitmer's husband's “failed attempt at humor,” new Hollywood sexual harrassment allegations, and more. Finally, George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School professor Ilya Somin (@IlyaSomin), author of the new book “Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration and Political Freedom,” offers insights on the legality of President Trump's broad, coronavirus immigration ban. He also discusses the central argument in “Free to Move” that human beings' freedom of movement is actually more important, significant, and impactful than the ballot box is.

Hindu mythology holds that the whole world rests on the back of a turtle. What does the turtle rest on? According to legend, “it's turtles all the way down.”While many are pushing for one-world-government to address new challenges like Coronavirus, there is another approach that can be dubbed “Federalism all the way down.” In other words, why stop at devolving power from Federal Government to the states? The more we decentralize power, the more people can effectively “vote with their feet” and choose which turtle– er, jurisdiction– they will reside in.This is one of the core premises of Ilya Somin's vitally important new book Free To Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom. Somin, a Law professor at George Mason University and blogger at Reason's The Volokh Conspiracy, has been on my show several times to discuss his work on eminent domain, rational voter ignorance, and most recently, court packing. These topics deal with the delicate balance of powers between majorities and minorities; the voting public and life-time appointed officials. His latest book looks at the most important balance of powers of all – that which exists among the various jurisdictions where people can chose to live.He finds that the option to vote with one's feet is often a more powerful lever than the ballot box for getting the political change that we all want, yet feel powerless to achieve. Tired of calling your congressman or donating to your favorite politicians to no avail? Why not send a stronger message and withdraw your tax dollars from your city or state if you are so unhappy?Ilya's new book also contains a bold defense of more open migration from other countries. He takes objections seriously but answers them one-by-one. The right to move should trump the alleged rights of ethnic groups or individuals to exclude on the basis of national origin. Ilya joined me this Sunday to discuss his new book and the prospects for Federalism in the aftermath of Coronavirus. Will states that innovate safe ways of re-opening their economy be beneficiaries of an exodus out of states that don't? Could the U.S. relieve global poverty by opening its doors to more immigrants from countries stricken by looming famines?

We are individuals, but we're also members of society. Economics generally deals with individual action whereas politics deals with the behavior of society as a whole. Economics, as a discipline, seeks to understand, explain, and sometimes predict human behavior. Politics, on the other hand, seeks to control the behavior of society at large. When we talk about freedom, what kind of freedom are we talking about? Is it the ability to decide which goods and services we purchase and from whom without restriction? Is it being able to choose who represents our interests in government and which laws they create? And which is more important? Or is either of them? Join James Harrigan and Antony Davies as they take a deep dive into what, exactly, economics and politics actually are and what freedom in those spheres might actually mean on this week's episode of Words and Numbers.

Mireya Loza's Defiant Braceros How Migrant Workers Fought for Racial, Sexual, and Political Freedom (University of North Carolina Press, 2016) sheds new light on the private lives of migrant men who participated in the Bracero Program (1942-1964), a binational agreement between the United States and Mexico that allowed hundreds of thousands of Mexican workers to enter the U.S. on temporary work permits. While this program and the issue of temporary workers has long been politicized on both sides of the border, Loza argues that the prevailing romanticized image of braceros as a family-oriented, productive, legal workforce has obscured the real, diverse experiences of the workers themselves. Focusing on underexplored aspects of workers lives–such as their transnational union-organizing efforts, the sexual economies of both hetero and queer workers, and the ethno-racial boundaries among Mexican indigenous braceros–Loza reveals how these men defied perceived political, sexual, and racial norms. Basing her work on an archive of more than 800 oral histories from the United States and Mexico, Loza is the first scholar to carefully differentiate between the experiences of mestizo guest workers and the many Mixtec, Zapotec, Purhepecha, and Mayan laborers. In doing so, she captures the myriad ways these defiant workers responded to the intense discrimination and exploitation of an unjust system that still persists today. Mireya Loza is a curator in the Division of Political History at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution. Lori A. Flores is an Assistant Professor of History at Stony Brook University (SUNY) and the author of Grounds for Dreaming: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the California Farmworker Movement (Yale, 2016).

Many have tried to create a division between "political freedom" and "economic freedom." But all freedoms ultimately depend on economic freedom, and our view of economic exchange dictates our view of politics, writes Patrick Barron.This audio Mises Daily is narrated by Robert Hale.
