Progressives have won the mayoral races in both Calgary and Edmonton. What does this mean for the serious issues facing Alberta's two biggest cities? William Macbeth of True North joins The Gunn Show to discuss.

Donald Trump Must Not Be Elected in 20241. To Save and/or restore Democracy in America we have to make sure Trump is not elected in 2024.2. To make sure he's not, we have to win in 2022 to make sure we don't have a Republican Congress and Senate to pave the way for him.3. To make sure we win in 2022 with no Trump on the ballot to vote against, we have to do something to bring Democrats to the polls in this Mid-term election.4. That can only happen if we deliver on what we promised. To demonstrate that when Democrats win and have power, it can make a positive difference in their everyday lives.5. All this will only happen if the Progressives are willing to compromise on the price tag. If they don't, the price will be the loss of our Democracy. A price none of us can afford.The podcast occasionally runs ads and Facebook banned the ad and took it down. Facebook is on fire on all sides.

What's a “progressive?” We hear constantly about the rift in the Democratic Party between its “progressive” wing and its “moderate” one. But what exactly was “Progressivism?” And why do we hear the word “progressive” but not much about “Progressivism?” The answer may lie in the fact that modern day progressive Democrats or those who ally with them (such as Bernie Sanders) don't want to dwell on the fact that much of their political program descends from political leaders they now disown (such as Woodrow Wilson) or who were, at various times, Republicans (like Theodore Roosevelt). Additionally, progressives are probably not eager to be so openly opposed to the basic principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the U.S. Constitution as their political and intellectual forebears were because that might hurt their poll numbers among average Americans. Moreover, the progressives really do not need to embrace the idea of the rule of the elites and the need for an administrative state and to fight for those things because that is the world we live in thanks to the Progressive thinkers and leaders profiled in the 2021 book America Transformed: The Rise and Legacy of American Progressivism by Ronald J. Pestritto. The book is must reading for everyone who wants to understand why unelected people such as the personnel of federal agencies, city managers, federal judges at many levels and so forth wield so much power and are so unanswerable to the bulk of the population. Pestritto reveals the dual legacy of Progressivism. To wit, via illuminating and meticulous examination of the writings and speeches of well-known figures such as Wilson and Roosevelt and lesser known but influential thinkers such as the theorists and academics Richard Ely, Frank Goodnow and James Landis, Pestritto documents how the Progressives disempowered average Americans even as those figures harped on the theme of accountability in government and dismissed the safeguards for individual liberty that the Constitution provides. Pestritto traces the intellectual incoherence of much of progressive thinking and policy c. 1880-1945 and demonstrates how the conflict between the oft-stated concern of the progressive left for the common man and the reality of bureaucratization has its roots in the Progressive Era and why so many Americans are frustrated by the fact that Congress has willingly signed over to the administrative state the right to write its own rules, to determine if those rules are fair and to implement those rules and regulations. It is not for nothing that Pestritto uses the word “transformed” given the curtailment of involvement by everyday Americans in their own governing processes that the Progressives ensured. A particular strength of his book is his exposure of the way that progressives from Wilson down to Obama and since have disingenuously claimed that Abraham Lincoln was a proto-progressive even though Lincoln was one of the most ardent, eloquent proponents of the Declaration of Independence and natural rights. We often hear from progressives that we need to be on the “right side of history.” In this valuable book, Ronald J. Pestritto explains to us the intellectual background of such platitudes. Give a listen. Hope J. Leman is a grants researcher. Learn more about your ad choices.

How Far Down the Road Towards Fascism Has America gone? We are close to either a collapse or a renewal of democracy: which way will America go?

It's that glorious time of the year when all four major sports leagues are playing. With the NFL just 30% of the way into its' season, both the NBA and NHL just getting started, and Major League Baseball about to crown a champion, it seems an appropriate time to point out that your team sucks.Not your sports team, your other team, if you have one, and it's getting harder and harder to find people that don't.As I was discussing last week, I love sports but hate most sports fans. The idea that people literally equate their identity to the success and failure of a group of humans they've never met and wouldn't know you from Adam is so infantile and brazenly pathetic it should be studied much deeper at institutions across the country. Sports should merely be seen as a form of entertainment similar to movies and shows. Sure, if they suck, we walk away annoyed or disappointed, but sane people let it go quickly. Letting the outcome of a game determine your mood for the next many days, if not weeks, is clearly demented, not to mention the behavior of a child. There is supposed to come a time in your human development when you learn that pouting is neither an option nor a solution.This brings us to your other team and the even bigger problem. That team's season never ends, which is why people never have a chance to just step away from blindly supporting whatever their team is up to. This team, also, is a group of humans that you've never met and wouldn't know you. Worse, they don't even care about you. At least most professional athletes appreciate the fans en masse. They understand that you're rooting for them, buying merchandise with their names on it, and in many cases, feeding them energy with loud, in-person support. Your other team literally doesn't care that you even exist other than to use you. Your wants, needs, and desires are of absolutely no concern to them at all whatsoever. This team even goes so far as to make you promises that they have no intention of keeping. They lie to you constantly, hide everything they can from you, and steal from you. Yes, they steal from you, and yet, you continue to not only support them, but you also loudly scream on their behalf, sometimes violently, and depending on just how invested you are, you even give them your money (the money they haven't already stolen from you).I'm talking, of course, about your political team. It sucks. Whether it's team R or team D, your team is all of the things I just described. Oh, and a quick aside; those of you who try to be cute and separate yourself from political parties by saying instead that you're either conservative or progressive, you too, are all of the things described and one other big one which says more about you than it does about them; you're all enormous hypocrites.This is a problem because too many people (more today than ever before in my lifetime) scream that their team is the solution, and the opposing team is the problem. And yet, both of these political movements abandon what are supposed to be their core principles at the drop of a hat as long as the outcome suits them. That is what we call being unethical, and yet people look the other way when their team does it, which they do constantly, and that, in turn, makes them unethical as well. And they don't seem to care, as long as their side wins. Now we've gone from unethical to unscrupulous. Sociopathic and psychotic are the only two steps left on the ladder down to complete and total cretin.For example, last week a 16-year-old girl knowingly violated the rules of her high school, repeatedly and intentionally. This form of blatant flouting of the rules, and questioning of authority is the type of behavior consistently condemned by team R. After all, they're the law-and-order party. And yet, this girl became the conservative hero of the week. You see, just like with Kyle Rittenhouse, law and order only apply now to team R, when it's being used to uphold something that they agree with. So, Grace Smith was hailed as brave and strong for intentionally getting suspended for not wearing a mask to school. Since team R is against mask mandates, the ends justify the means, which is the thought process of a true intellectual coward. As an aside, it was also misreported endlessly that she was arrested for not wearing a mask. She was arrested, but for trespassing, after she was told to leave school grounds after being suspended and refusing to do so. But the truth isn't important when we're trying to win. https://www.foxnews.com/us/wyoming-girl-suspended-arrested-trespassing-mask-mandatehttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/07/05/kyle-rittenhouse-american-vigilante Speaking of such policies, team D has, for decades, preached the slogan “my body, my choice.” It applies most notably to their support of legalized abortion, but also to the issue of consent, gender identification, and something called “body integrity.” But as far as team D is concerned, it is no longer your body, your choice when it comes to wearing masks or injecting medicine into you. Leaping back to team R for a moment, the team that preaches law and order, much more extreme examples of their hypocrisy than the hero anti-mask girl would be the insurrectionists of January 6th and all of the various right-wing nationalists constantly threatening or engaging in activities that have to be stopped by who else but law enforcement? It's the same thing with the 2nd amendment and/or we're-going-to-civil war Nazis who without thinking, talk about getting in gun battles with cops that come to their doors…not very law and order friendly.Progressives/liberals/Democrats continue, to this day, to preach that Covid isn't gone, wear your mask, kids in schools all wear masks, get tested, isolate, be safe…and yet 2 million illegal migrants have streamed into this country since President grandpa took office, and less than 10% of them were even tested for Covid, let alone only 33% of them accepting vaccination. https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/immigrationBack to my conservative friends on team R, the party of small/less government and letting local people, like your elected school board, make local decisions…unless, of course, you don't like the decisions they're making and then you pass laws and executive orders in your state banning local leaders from instituting things like mask mandates. They're also the party of small businesses and the freedom of business owners to make their own decisions. They championed the Colorado baker who didn't want to make a cake for a gay couple because it's his right, not just religiously, but as the owner of the business! But if you own a business in many conservative states and want to require your employees or customers to be vaccinated, suddenly that's not your right any longer.Team D is the party of woke-ism. They stand up for any and every minority there is unless they find out someone in that minority is on team R, and then that particular minority person is no longer a protected class, they're a traitor for having their own individual thoughts.The examples are endless, which is why it's all so disconcerting to say the least. We have lost more than just our moral compass, we've lost more than just our souls, we've lost ourselves, entirely. Rather than using fundamental, core principles to guide and help us decide, we merely identify the outcome we want and then say that any means necessary will do. Worse, in many cases, many people don't even bother to think about the outcome, they just ask “what does my team want, I'm in favor of that!”All of this amidst the backdrop of being a sports fan. When some rabid fan is all jazzed the day after his team wins, to the point where he won't shut up about it (and I'm talking about “that guy,” not people who just have a spring in their step for a day, but the guy who is acting like he just won the lottery, his wife gave birth, and he's in remission from cancer all in the same day), my favorite approach is to ask the moron how, exactly, his life has improved as a result of the outcome of this particular game? Does he have more money? Has his health vastly improved? Are all his problems gone? Do his wife and kids hate him any less?Oh sure, you can argue that happiness and a celebratory mood are good for the soul, and I'll grant you that, but I won't grant you that this is equitable happiness. Over-the-top joy and adulation over an accomplishment you had quite literally absolutely nothing to do with is beyond vapid; it shows how empty your life really is. With your political teams, it is almost simultaneously contradictory, which makes it more maddening to watch you all engage in this sort of fandom. On one hand, allowing politicians to have anything to do with your ability to live a happy and/or successful life is the approach of losers. When team R members scream and yell about all of the taxes and restrictions put on their ability to start and run businesses, that's just pathetic if it actually paralyzes you. You don't have to like it but adapt and overcome. I have no respect for people who leave states they literally love in every other way because of politics. Stay and fight, you coward. Fight to find a way to excel despite the difficult conditions placed before you. Conversely, it is absolutely true that if one of these teams wins too many times in a row, in too many of their most extreme ways, it will have an effect on almost all of us, and in almost universally negative ways. The Climate Change extremists are teetering on major victories that will dismantle America's ability to be the globe's superpower, and are already having devastating effects on our current economy. We are inches away from a goal line stand that, if it fails, could outlaw abortion in America; a decision that will not end abortions in any way, it will merely end in many more deaths of not just babies, but their mothers. Post Roe v Wade America will look like Prohibition America, but a lot more bloody. Behavior controlists have won a major victory with the vaccine mandates and have been given a new template on how to use the “greater good,” argument to get what they want. If they're allowed to continue, they will soon argue that, in order to keep hospitals from overflowing, we all have to do our part, all of the time. That means more than wearing masks, it means eating certain things and banning others to combat obesity and cancer. It means mandating exercise and banning certain kinds of speech. Neither movement is right all of the time. In fact, based on history, they're both wrong half of the time, which is the ultimate irony. Your team needs their team. America needs both teams in order to win. When the two teams are focused on their agendas, and not on destroying one another, they check each other from going too far. For now, that ship has sailed, and even if it wanted to turn around and come back, it would simply sit offshore in Long Beach for months on end, rotting like our food and furniture currently is.No, by the way, I don't know what the solution is, but I do know that we would start to move towards it if more Americans would step away from the table of madness, take off their R or D jerseys and instead, put on their “USA,” sweaters. Your teams suck, and they're making America suck…and you…you are not “saving America,” you all are ruining America and you all suck.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Biden's commission that researched the prospect of expanding the U.S. Supreme Court has come back divided on the issue dealing a blow to progressive dreams of growing the court. Conservatives currently have a 6-3 advantage but current polls show the majority of Americans don't like the idea of adding justices. FOX's John Saucier speaks to FOX News Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie about the commission's report and reaction from Capitol Hill.

President Biden's $3.5 Trillion spending package looks like it will get trimmed down. But could all of the haggling in Washington turn out to be a victory for progressives? The R Street Institute's James Wallner joins Boyd to break down the politics of it all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether applied to the push and pull of civil liberties vs vaccine mandates, or the Democrats squabbling over what could be a huge win for their party and their President, Chris uses today's episode to look at the break down of any form of movement for the betterment of us all. Cooperation is no longer a term uttered in our politics or in this pandemic.He remarks what a sad state of affairs we've arrived at that we can all assume that no one on the Republican side is going to touch any part of Biden's Build Back Better push, let alone getting all the Dems to sort out their disagreements.  And this applies to things like Pre K and child care, not traditional wedge issues. Plus, a beat on the continuing breakdowns in our supply chain and why we should all be paying attention to what's happening at our ports and with our long haul truckers.And Another thing: Congrats to William Shatner for reaching the final frontier, and the latest in the Gabby Petito case, after the autopsy report is released.

President Biden's agenda is in the hands of his own party, as Democrats try to find common ground on the $3.5-trillion spending bill. Progressives say they won't pass the smaller $1-trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill without getting the reconciliation bill passed too. Moderate Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) have made it clear they won't back the multi-trillion spending bill and that the number must come down before they support the plan. So how much lower should the bill go? Anchor and Executive Editor of Special Report on the Fox News Channel, Bret Baier weighs in on the Democrats' infighting when it comes to passing the two spending bill, President Biden's low poll numbers and how all of this will impact the 2022 midterms. Plus, Bret talks about his new book To Rescue the Republic: Ulysses S. Grant, the Fragile Union, and the Crisis of 1876.   Oil prices have reached their highest level in seven years, with supply shortages creating concern that this could foreshadow a natural gas shortage as we approach the winter. Senior Market Analyst at The Price Futures Group and Fox Business Contributor Phil Flynn joins to break down this surge in oil prices, the supply issues creating this recent high demand, why stopping oil export from the U.S. could negatively impact our economy and how economic turbulence in the U.S. has often been tied to price spikes in gas and oil. Later, Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy.com, Patrick De Haan joins to explain how gas prices went from easing up to rising again and why the strategic petroleum reserve may not be able to help the nation now.   Plus, commentary by Guy Benson, host of The Guy Benson Show.

There's a reason to elect more progressives to Congress: they're finally organizing within it. David Dayen of The American Prospect joins to talk about the behind the scenes wheelings and dealings of the  infrastructure and transformative Build Back Better bills and the key role that progressives are playing to deliver for the American people. And comedian Zack Bornstein on why 'Salt Bae' is too high on his own supply, a Mississippi AG gives the worst anti-abortion excuse, and a new grim milestone has us wondering whether vaccine mandates will finally get Republicans into getting vaccinated. PLUS a *Patreon only* bonus bish test on the newest and perhaps most bonkers Trump book yet featuring colonoscopies, mushrooms and Memory.    Featuring: Zack Bornstein, comedian and writer David Dayen, author and executive editor of The American Prospect   Contents 5:30 What Are You Bitching About?: Salt Bae, Ozy, & Sinema 22:13 The Week Where: Red Covid & Anti-Abortion AG 42:50 Progressives beat back attempt to steamroll Biden/Bernie agenda 1:08:00 Which TV character would be anti-vax?   Join the Franita and become a Patron today: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom Follow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPod Get your TBR merch: www.bitchuationroom.com Thanks to Rebecca Rufer, Maximillien Inhoff, Ellie Hoffman, Alexandra Orness Music Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-cannery License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Support The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE    Check Out The Bitchuation Room Podcast  iTunes: http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuation Spotify: http://bit.ly/spotifybitchuation  Stitcher: http://bit.ly/stitcherbitchuation   Find Francesca On:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/franifio  YouTube: The Bitchuation Room's channel: https://www.youtube.com/franifio  Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/franifio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Franifio Insta: https://www.instagram.com/franifio/
