From term limits to balancing the budget, the conversation covers the motivations, legal challenges, and opposition to the Convention of States. Paul Johnson challenges Meckler on key issues, exploring whether such a movement could be dangerous, effective, or necessary for America's future.

It started with Obama's off-handed comment against the Tea Party Movement; now, we're at Joe Biden calling all American citizens to stand against you. Opposition eventually submits and bends the knee to the ruling party. The Democrats emphasize voting rights because they're dependent on the black vote. Misusing the word democracy on purpose. $17 trillion to upgrade our power grid. Biden actively working against border patrol to let in illegals. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a follow up the 2008 election, we return to late 2000s, early 2010s political culture to discuss the 2008 financial crisis, the government's intervention in the economy, and the mass movement against it: The Tea Party Movement. A Mass Movement of Free Market ideologue's who believe that the financial crash didn't happen because of deregulation–but because we actually didn't do the free market enough. A reading series of Glenn Beck explores their monstrous, dogmatic worldview, followed by the real world impacts of this mass movement. Shout out to Thomas Frank's ‘Pity the Billionaire' as it was used often as a source. Alternate titles for this episode included: ‘Spend it like Beck-am', ‘A Promised Rand', and ‘Ayn't Life Rand'

Politico has trotted out an "expert" on the Tea Party Movement to put forth the idea that the Tea Party was always ONLY about McCarthy, Paul Ryan, and Eric Cantor, and with the fall of McCarthy the movement is finally dead. What does Politico get wrong? Everything. Also today Ukraine "freaking out" over end to US gravy train.

Andrew Horning's day job is cardiodiagnostic technology. He's worked in public health, cardiac research, clinical, education and industry roles since 1977. However, much of what was earned in professional endeavors has been blown on thirty years of quixotic political campaigns, protests, activism and lawsuits against a two-headed political monster. His political candidacies for Indiana Governor, US Senate and House of Representatives have been mostly under the Libertarian Party banner. But in 2004 Horning won the GOP primary election against the party's slate for US House of Representatives, and it's likely that he also won the general election (if only counting living voters). – Horning's campaign team documented significant election fraud using simple retrospective analysis of abandoned homes and voting records that year, which won some notice of the district's shenanigans from out-of-state newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal and Chicago Tribune. A tax protest led by Horning on July 4, 2007, also earned national media, and has been credited with both a turnover of the Indianapolis city government, and a kick start to the “Tea Party Movement.” Horning is a former weekly columnist for Indiana's biggest daily newspaper, and an Adjunct Scholar with the Indiana Policy Review Foundation. He's also a passionate advocate for asimina triloba, the Indiana Banana, or American Pawpaw. He is most happy when ensconced in his life of family and never-ending projects on a small farm in middle-of-nowhere Freedom, Indiana. Two fishable creeks, an occasionally stocked pond, and of course woods filled with pawpaws over comfortably hilly terrain, make it a hillbilly paradise from which he hopes to stimulate a Peaceful Revolution of Liberty and Justice…for All." https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJ46CHG5 campaign website is: https://horningforsenate.com/

On today's podcast show, we ask why are Democrats, leftist, socialist, liberals and communist in this country are hell bent on going after Donald Trump and trying to take him out. I have a theory on this and this stems from what Democrats in this country are scared of. They are scared of the Silent Majority and the Tea Party Movement who can put an end to the democrat party in this country.

On this edition of Parallax Views, New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Christopher Leonard joins us to discuss his new book The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy. The book chronicles how the Federal Reserve under Ben Bernanke dealt with the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and its aftermath from 2010-2014. In doing so he attempts to offer a concise and highly critical examination of the policy known as quantitative easing and makes the case that quantitative easing has enriched the wealthy at the expense of the working and middle classes through a form of hyper-trickle-down economics. Leonard and I begin the conversation by discussing his earlier works The Meat Racket: The Secret Takeover of America's Food Business and Kochland: The Secret History of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America. We then discuss how his critical examination of the Federal Reserve departs from many of the criticisms of the Fed from libertarians and the right such as G. Edward Griffin's The Creature from Jekyll Island. Leonard also praises William Greider's seminal work on the subject Secrets of the Temple. From there we delve into what the Federal Reserve is, what it isn't, and the question of whether it is a public or private institution as well as the ways the Fed, and monetary policy in general, is often treated as being too mystical for a layperson to understand (even if this is not the case). Leonard also explains the concept of quantitative easing and how it has, he argues, enriched the wealthy at the expense of the working and middle classes. Among the many other topics, we cover in the conversation: the Federal Reserve and the Tea Party Movement in November 2010, the story of former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Thomas Hoenig's dissenting from Ben Bernanke's quantitative easing policies, Alan Greenspan and ideology within the institution of the Federal Reserve, the populist William Jennings Bryan and his "Cross of Gold" speech, Bill Clinton and the declaration he made during his Presidency that "the era of big government is over", hyper-trickle-down economics, Andrew Mellon, and much, much more!

Before the 17th century, people did not think of themselves as belonging to something called the white race. But once the idea was invented, it quickly began to reshape the modern world. By Robert P Baird. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/longreadpod

Political Scientist Heath Brown's new book, Homeschooling the Right: How Conservative Education Activism Erodes the State (Columbia UP, 2021) is an excellent overview of the homeschooling movement in the United States, but it is much more than an exploration of that movement, since it centers on the way that this movement developed into a parallel political structure within states and localities with substantial capacity to influence policy and politics. Brown notes that initially the homeschool movement was ideologically diverse, but that over the past forty years it has become much more directly connected to conservative politics and the Religious Right. As parents chose to opt out of public education and provide education for their children at home, an entire industry grew up around this undertaking, providing, in the pre-internet days, support, content, approaches, and the means to help parents negotiate this at home. Along the way, as this movement continued to grow and expand, even though it was composed of only a fraction of school-age children, it also became a politically vocal movement, with lobbyists who worked on behalf of homeschoolers to keep government intrusion and regulation at bay.  These threads came together and helped to mobilize the members of the homeschool movement. Brown argues that the ideology and the political dimensions of the homeschool movement ultimately migrated over to the Tea Party Movement that takes root in the first decade of the 21st century, since the homeschool ideas are pulling together conservative libertarianism in the anti-government, anti-regulatory vein, and the reintegration of Christian beliefs within academic settings. As we discussed the book, Brown noted that every Republican presidential candidate over the past two decades has paid attention to the homeschool movement, and that President George W. Bush made a point of thanking the homeschool parents and children who had worked so diligently on his campaign and with the GOP Get Out The Vote efforts, since the homeschool students were able to fold these experiences into their curriculum and assignments. The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), which developed to provide legal support for home school advocates across the states, had initially become a key player in conservative politics, but has now refocused much more narrowly, specifically on homeschool policy.  Homeschooling the Right also gets at the complicated position of the homeschool movement within a democracy, since the movement itself is a way of removing the individual or the family from the public sphere. What is ironic, and important to understand, as Brown notes, is that this political movement has a louder, heightened political voice because of the capacity to mobilize many of its adherents, thus it is both actively inside and outside the political sphere. This is a wonderfully written book and so accessible to readers—and it will be of interest to many across a broad spectrum of disciplines. Lilly J. Goren is professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).

Political Scientist Heath Brown’s new book, Homeschooling the Right: How Conservative Education Activism Erodes the State (Columbia UP, 2021) is an excellent overview of the homeschooling movement in the United States, but it is much more than an exploration of that movement, since it centers on the way that this movement developed into a parallel political structure within states and localities with substantial capacity to influence policy and politics. Brown notes that initially the homeschool movement was ideologically diverse, but that over the past forty years it has become much more directly connected to conservative politics and the Religious Right. As parents chose to opt out of public education and provide education for their children at home, an entire industry grew up around this undertaking, providing, in the pre-internet days, support, content, approaches, and the means to help parents negotiate this at home. Along the way, as this movement continued to grow and expand, even though it was composed of only a fraction of school-age children, it also became a politically vocal movement, with lobbyists who worked on behalf of homeschoolers to keep government intrusion and regulation at bay.  These threads came together and helped to mobilize the members of the homeschool movement. Brown argues that the ideology and the political dimensions of the homeschool movement ultimately migrated over to the Tea Party Movement that takes root in the first decade of the 21st century, since the homeschool ideas are pulling together conservative libertarianism in the anti-government, anti-regulatory vein, and the reintegration of Christian beliefs within academic settings. As we discussed the book, Brown noted that every Republican presidential candidate over the past two decades has paid attention to the homeschool movement, and that President George W. Bush made a point of thanking the homeschool parents and children who had worked so diligently on his campaign and with the GOP Get Out The Vote efforts, since the homeschool students were able to fold these experiences into their curriculum and assignments. The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), which developed to provide legal support for home school advocates across the states, had initially become a key player in conservative politics, but has now refocused much more narrowly, specifically on homeschool policy.  Homeschooling the Right also gets at the complicated position of the homeschool movement within a democracy, since the movement itself is a way of removing the individual or the family from the public sphere. What is ironic, and important to understand, as Brown notes, is that this political movement has a louder, heightened political voice because of the capacity to mobilize many of its adherents, thus it is both actively inside and outside the political sphere. This is a wonderfully written book and so accessible to readers—and it will be of interest to many across a broad spectrum of disciplines. Lilly J.

Donald Trump once confessed he was too busy to play cards seriously and yet, even after his electoral defeat and the second failed impeachment, he continues to be the joker in American politics. Playing him smartly is likely to determine the future of the Republican and the Democratic parties, both rather euchred by this unruly player. So, what’s on the cards for the next few years of American politics? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Michael Johns, co-founder of the Tea Party movement and a former speechwriter for president George H W Bush.

Michael Johns is an American conservative commentator, policy analyst and writer, a former speechwriter for President George H. W. Bush, and a leader and spokesman in the Tea Party movement. He also has an extensive background as healthcare executive and a wealth of knowledge of the industry. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dhts/message

There is no doubt that massive election fraud has taken place in 2020. The New Democratic Socialist/Communist Party's outrageous attempt to rig a United States presidential election is the worst crime in our history. And far too Republican elected leaders are taking appropriate actions in response. All of us on the RIGHT SIDE - Republicans and Conservatives MUST unite in a grass roots movement to regain our Republic and American faith in our election process. Michael Johns, co-founder of The Tea Party Movement, is here to give his perspectives on all of this.

The Hunter Biden⏤Burisma deal and now the smoking-gun email scandal that is being covered up right in front of the American people right at this very moment. It reveals how Hunter Biden was bringing daddy some new friends from the Ukraine and that Joe Biden was selling out America for the personal enrichment of his family. A pay to play scheme that circled the globe. No sooner did the New York Post break the story⏤when Big Tech stepped in to remove and silence the breaking news. ABC News, CBS News and NBC News, along with 95% of the mainstream media provided zero reporting on this devastating news on Joe Biden. Accounts were frozen or cancelled on social media as the establishment made history with their unprecedented action to pull Joe Biden over the finish line.

Americans are divided as ever. We are unwilling to listen to those with whom we disagree, even if they are in our same "party." In Episode 32, Michael Johns (Co-Founder of the Tea Party Movement and Former Presidential Speechwriter) and I break down the causes. Michael explains how Congressional leadership has demonized dissent and why we should have listened to George Washington and stayed away from the two-party system. We also consider a few solutions: term limits, transparency, and more. In addition, we cover controversial policy topics such as immigration, trade, and gun control. Michael describes how he thinks a trade war might pan out for Americans, how DACA has been used as a political tool, and why the law is not a sufficient deterrent to criminals. Be sure to tune in for a thought-provoking episode. Thank you to Zach for his $30 per month support!

On May 20, 2010, Internationally renowned historians and hosts Edward Ayers, Brian Balogh, and Peter Onuf present "Paying Up: The History of Taxation." From the very beginning, Americans have been arguing about whether their taxes are fair and just. The American History Guys will explored taxation's complicated and turbulent history—from the Stamp Act of 1765 to the Tea Party Movement of 2010—and discuss Americans' attitudes toward the Tax Man.(Introduction by Paul A. Levengood) The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

Chris Kerr and Michael Evans are first time guests and Gene Epstein returns to talk about the next NYC Junto and the economy. Recently I met Judge Andrew Napolitano who told me he believes Pres. Obama may well go the way of Pres. Nixon and he said “if so, rightly so.” I expect to have Judge Napolitano on this show soon to discuss this further but this week former FBI agent now defense attorney Chris Kerr will discuss the use of the IRS by Obama to suppress our Constitutional rights expressed by the Tea Party Movement. Not only is the Tea Party scandal darkening the Obama regime, but the apparent cover up of the Benghazi disaster is adding to cries for the removal of our latest dictator disguised as a “representative of the people.” Show host for “America's Voice Now,” Michael Evans, will give his views on the probability of an impeachment of President Obama. Host Jay Taylor will talk about some of the most exciting opportunities he has seen in years for gold and silver mining stocks.

Obama Gives Blessing to Anti-Capitalist Wall Street Protests   I think he wants civil unrest and here is why. He can not effectively "change" anything without it being dismantled and destroyed and then rebuilt. The economic crisis is a perfect example of this.

This weak record on growth is proving disastrous for ordinary Americans. Per capita income remains below its 2006 level, while wage-based incomes are declining. It is little surprise, then, that adjusting for inflation, retail sales last month contracted at nearly a 5 per cent annual pace, while the proportion of Americans living in poverty soared. This is a modern day depression, only this time soup lines have been replaced by unemployment cheques. Facing these challenges, businesses are trying to enhance productivity, not create jobs. Polls show that business leaders are growing increasingly pessimistic. In the past six months a third of companies have delayed or cancelled plans for capital spending.

Among the most annoying claims of candidate Barack Obama in 2008 was the promise that he would give America "smart diplomacy." Coming from an amateur dependent on the advice of academic theoreticians like Susan Rice, the hubris was overwhelming. Three years later, Obama is turning out to be a diplomatic disaster, alienating key allies, encouraging disasters like the "Arab Spring" (in reality, "jihad spring"), embarrassing the country with gimmicks like the mistranslated "reset" button for Russia (about to slip even further in the direction of Soviet-style tyranny as Putin plans a return to direct leadership), and indulging in his habit of arrogantly lecturing others on topics where his understanding is at best shallow.

Why does America continue to pay foreign aid to countries and borrow to pay our own bills. The richest nation in the World is on the tipping point of Bankruptcy. We are in trouble now, more than ever before. The Democrats have done themselves in as well as the ability of the United States to continue to pay it's own bills. The Democrats believed it was their turn at the open check book that the taxpayers had given the last 10 administrations. Apparently we the people are just the funders for the check book. My question is why have we continued to spend BILLIONS of dollars in Foreign Aid, when we as a nation need foreign aid given to us?

  What is one to make of reports that the White House is resigned to persistent highunemployment through the 2012 Presidential election year?   The White House budget office forecast on Thursday thatunemployment would remain at 9 percent through the 2012 presidential election year...

The portrait of Barack Obama's presidency is that of an egocentric -- not only incapable of leadership, but someone who views the office as a vehicle for the satisfaction of his delusion that the world not only owes him a living, but a sumptuous one.

One man was stomped to death and another man nearly killed in a racist amusement called the "knock-out game," currently being played by black teenagers.  The victims were both white, and that fact needs to be raised in our national conversation about race.

One of the nasty lines of attack used by the left against the Tea Party Movement is that it is racist in nature. The left describes the movement as angry, racist white people. Tea Party events have been maliciously described as looking like lynch mobs. This is vile slander. The real question should be why, when Obama's approval ratings languish in the mid 40s, does he enjoy an approval rating among American blacks north of 92%? Black people aren't being excluded from the Tea Party movement by racist white people. They have self segregated by almost universally supporting the Obama agenda. Almost. Black people who don't support the socialist agenda of Obama, however, are welcomed with open arms at Tea Party events. The claim that they are somehow excluded involvement is a vicious lie
