Why are nonprofit hospitals paying CEOs tens of millions of dollars while healthcare costs continue to soar? And why are activists pushing ranked choice voting across the country? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by Trent England, Executive Director of Save Our States and co-chair of the Stop Ranked Choice Voting Coalition, for a deep dive into two of the most important—and overlooked—issues facing Americans today. Together, they expose how taxpayer dollars flow into nonprofit hospital systems, why independent doctors are disappearing, how government regulations drive up healthcare costs, and what can be done to restore competition in medicine. They also break down the growing push for ranked choice voting, who is funding it, and why critics argue it threatens election transparency and voter confidence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the Electoral College and how does it preserve states' rights and protect the votes of American citizens? Some media pundits and activists are calling for "national popular vote" reforms. What would those changes mean to our country and to freedoms we cherish? Harry Roth, Director of Outreach at Save Our States, joined Linda to discuss this important topic. Harry shared historically grounded and constitutionally sound insights into how the Electoral College protects minority rights, prevents regional domination, and ensures that small and large states have a voice in presidential elections. The Electoral College provides a stabilizing force to ensure states' rights and citizen voices are protected. A clear understanding of the importance of this process is essential for every American who cares about the impact of their vote on the future of our country.

Josh opens the show by laying out the four conditions he believes must be met for a real deal with Iran, as negotiations are set to continue this week. He also reacts to the President’s latest comments about a potential deal—and the possibility that additional strikes on Iran may still be on the table. Josh is then joined by Trent England, Executive Director of Save Our States, to explain why efforts to eliminate the Electoral College in favor of a national popular vote are not about fairness, but about political advantage. England argues that the push to scrap the Electoral College is being driven by political actors looking to tilt the system in their favor. Josh also dives into the issue of gerrymandering, focusing on the latest controversy in Virginia and why it once again exposes what he sees as the Left’s deep hypocrisy on election rules. He wraps up the show by highlighting another case headed to the Supreme Court, involving a state that continues to discriminate against religion despite repeated legal challenges—raising serious questions about whether some states simply refuse to learn their lesson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About the Lecture: The American Constitution is the world's oldest. It was designed by our Founders to withstand the storms of faction, geographic expansion, war – and even Civil War. The Founders studied history. They knew that democracies always fail. Plato writes in The Republic that “democracies always become tyrannies.” How is it that our 235-year-old Constitution still governs our land? In a phrase - “checks and balances”. The Constitution has internal mechanisms that, while imperfect, were created because men are quite imperfect. Just as sailor must tack back and forth to reach his destination, the Constitution forces us to share and exchange the leavers of power to keep the ship of state from floundering and on course. When someone says, “the Electoral College is un-democratic”, a fair reply may be - “Of course it is. We are a republic, not a democracy.” Even so, America is much more democratic than most all republics in choosing a head of state. Was Mr. Churchill's name on the ballots of all Englishmen? Was Mr. Trudeau's name on the ballots of all Canadians? Decidedly not. We will explore why virtually all sustained republics embrace “checks and balances” and a “two-step” electoral processes - not simple majority rule. There is nothing simple about self-government About the Speaker: Mr. Michael C. Maibach is a seasoned professional in global business diplomacy. From 2003 to 2012, he was the President & CEO of the European-American Business Council after serving for 18 years as the Vice President of Global Government Affairs for the Intel Corporation. Today, he is a Trustee and Managing Director of the James Wilson Institute, and a Distinguished Fellow on American Federalism at Save Our States. Mr. Maibach has earned M.A. degrees from Northern Illinois University, Georgetown University, Ashland University, and The Institute of World Politics, where he also serves as a member of our Honorary Board of Advisors. He frequently speaks at schools and civic groups to discuss and defend the Founders' Constitution and their Electoral College design.

What is the Electoral College and how does it preserve states' rights and protect the voices of our citizens? We often see messages from media pundits and activists calling for “national popular vote” reforms and pleas to “count all votes.” What would those changes mean to our country and to freedoms we cherish? With Linda to discuss these often-asked questions is Michael Maibach, Policy Advisor for The American Civil Rights Union and Distinguished Fellow for Save Our States. Michael provides historically grounded and constitutionally sound insights into how the Electoral College protects minority rights, prevents regional domination, and ensures that small and large states have a voice in presidential elections. The Electoral College provides a stabilizing force to ensure states' rights and citizen voices are protected, which is why every American will benefit from understanding the importance of this process.

Morning news for COnspiracy Theory Thursday, and later a great talk with Trent England from Save Our States, the group fighting not only ranked choice voting (which lost) but the National Popular Vote - Is this all dead now?

The electoral college is one of the most important characteristics of our republic, but it is also perhaps the most misunderstood.  Every time we vote for President the merit of the electoral college is debated.

To address all of these questions and so much more, we are delighted to have Michael Maibach, electoral college expert and Distinguished Fellow for Save Our States, as our special guest this week.

Margaret Hoover hosts a forum at Hofstra University on whether America should abolish the Electoral College with writers Jesse Wegman and Trent England. Wegman, author of “Let the People Pick the President” and a member of The New York Times editorial board, makes the case that the current system is unfair and undemocratic, empowering a handful of swing states to decide who leads the whole country. England, who founded Save Our States and wrote “Why We Must Defend the Electoral College,” argues the Electoral College makes presidential campaigns both more national and more granular at the same time, forcing candidates to appeal to diverse factions of voters across the country who otherwise would have little influence. Wegman and England discuss the history of the Electoral College, the intent of the nation's founders, and how it all relates to slavery. They also debate the merits of a national popular vote and whether other reforms are possible, and they take questions from the student audience.

They dig deeply into the origins of the system, as created at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, debunk contemporary claims of its connection to slavery, and analyze the current "National Popular Vote" movement, which seeks an end-run around the Constitution to subvert the republican system created at the Founding.

"Sometimes, people desire simplicity, but freedom is not a straightforward matter," remarks Michael Maibach, a Distinguished Fellow specializing in American Federalism at Save Our States. Maibach recently joined AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber for an exceptionally informative episode discussing the significance of the electoral college in elections and the ongoing debate about its elimination. One of the major concerns associated with adopting a national popular vote to determine the presidency is the potential for a few heavily liberal cities to sway the entire election outcome. Have you ever considered the idea of disaggregating your electors? Maibach refutes this point and proposes that we "move past this argument," drawing upon his extensive knowledge of the electoral college's historical context. Tune in to discover why the current electoral college system is, in fact, a democratic method for selecting our president.
