Jennica Pounds, AKA Data Republican, built an open-source platform that gave Americans searchable access to billions of dollars in federal grant spending. The discovery was explosive: while Americans struggle to make a living, their government is wasting billions of dollars on fraud and overseas NGOs. But the exposure angered her targets, who stand to lose multimillion dollar money trains. After her research went viral, Pounds says she was doxxed and harassed – and now the media is attempting to divert attention from her research and focus the story on her instead. “Why are the world's most generous people financially abused by their own government?” she asks in her upcoming book UNELECTED, which traces $200 billion sent to Ukraine, $50 billion a year to USAID, and $9 billion for refugee resettlement back to what she calls the NGO-Administrative Complex. Jennica joins Dr. Drew to walk through where that money actually lands, the federal departments and NGOs that move it, and why she says it's linked to a “centuries-old ideology called supranationalism.” Jennica is deaf and appears with the assistance of her interpreter, Terrill Corletto. Also on today's show: Larry Elder, talk radio host, former presidential candidate, and author of As Goes California: My Mission to Rescue the Golden State, joins Dr. Drew to discuss California's governor's race. Jennica Pounds is a software engineer and data analyst known online as DataRepublican. A former Big Tech engineer, she rose to prominence in 2025 after her spending research went viral. Follow at https://x.com/DataRepublican Larry Elder is a talk radio host, attorney, and a former presidential candidate.

Text the Show⭐️Affiliate item of the week: The Octopus of Global Control by Charlie Robinson. The Octopus of Global Control is a controversial, nonfiction book detailing how those in positions of power are able to manipulate society for their benefit, why they believe that they are entitled to impose their warped world view of reality on mankind, and how we can break free from their grip. https://amzn.to/4ymhNWxWhat happens when political influence, global finance, and centralized power converge behind closed doors? Join Jesse Jaymz, Outcast, and special guest Charlie Robinson as they explore the history of Rockefeller Center's legendary Room 5600 and its connection to some of the most influential institutions of the modern era. From the United Nations and the World Bank to the IMF and the Trilateral Commission, the conversation examines the rise of globalism, the consolidation of economic and political authority, and the vision of an increasingly centralized world order. Was Room 5600 merely a corporate office—or the nerve center where ideas that reshaped international governance and global policy were cultivated? Tune in as we investigate the history, the influence, and the enduring debate over who really steers the future of the modern world.

National is finally closing the loophole that allows unelected members of the public to get voting rights on council committees. Local Government Minister Simon Watts has moved to stop it, but let's be honest, it's the bare minimum. We talk to ACT MP Cameron Luxton, who drafted the original bill months ago, about why National took so long to protect our democracy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Local Government Minister says they're restoring democratic accountability to councils. The Government's amending a bill currently before Parliament to bar non-elected council members from voting on committees. It follows councillors in the Far North voting to expand a Māori liaison committee. Simon Watts explained such examples give voting rights to people not elected by the community. "You've also seen instances in the last term with someone under the age of 18 being appointed onto Hastings Council. None of that stuff can happen going forward."

Who is really controlling Canada — elected politicians, or unelected bureaucrats?In today's LeDrew Rant, Stephen argues that more and more decisions affecting Canadians' daily lives are being made not by voters or elected governments, but by bureaucrats, regulators, judges, and appointed boards with little direct accountability to the public.LeDrew points to several recent examples, including:The CRTC's new tax on streaming services like Netflix and Prime VideoCourt rulings affecting homelessness encampments and public transit projectsJudicial interventions in Ontario's bike lane policiesThe growing role of unelected agencies and regulatory bodiesAirport authorities and public infrastructure managementRising costs being passed directly to Canadian consumersThe rant also examines how governments increasingly defer controversial decisions to regulators, tribunals, courts, and appointed agencies — allowing politicians to avoid accountability while ordinary Canadians absorb the consequences through higher costs, delays, and declining public services.LeDrew argues that when judges and regulators move beyond interpreting laws and begin shaping public policy, Canadians have the right to question those decisions openly.The broader question at the center of this rant:Are Canadians slowly losing democratic control over the institutions that control their lives?

Who has the power the power to tax Utahns? It's supposed to be the elected representatives for your city, county, state, or country. But there's growing concern in Utah that unelected developers are taking advantage of their power to tax people on new developments. Within many of these developments are public infrastructure districts, also known as PIDs.  Utah Investigative Journalism Project's Eric Peterson joins Midday guest host Heather Peterson to break down the issue and what he's found in his research.

4. Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Title: *The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America*. The focus here is on the "unelected" administrative state, which Hanson claims operates beyond democratic correction. He uses the "raisin administration committee" to illustrate how bureaucratic agencies can seize the fruit of a citizen's labor. The discussion explores the "Deep State," defined as a permanent bureaucratic class that holds contempt for elected officials and citizens alike. Hanson describes "La Resistance" within the government, where officials like James Comey and Andrew McCabe allegedly used their power to undermine a presidency, viewing themselves as "heroic" resistors rather than public servants subject to the law.

The two-party system is a mirage, and unelected judges are destroying America. It's time for a new 1776. In this episode, I expose the hard truth: Elections have become meaningless. America has become a one-party system, where Republicans and Democrats differ in rhetoric but govern the same when it matters most — especially on spending, the economy, immigration, and sovereignty. Worse, even when voters demand change, judicial supremacy overrides the will of the people. Unelected judges now function as super-legislators, blocking enforcement of immigration law, nullifying state authority, and shredding the Constitution — all without accountability.  As we approach the 250th anniversary of the American founding,  we are facing a crisis deeper than any election cycle — a system in which voting no longer governs the governed.

8. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: The Pandemic, Science, and Unelected Authority. Summary: Hanson argues the pandemic response empowered unelected bureaucrats like Fauci to arbitrarily shut down small businesses while protecting large corporations.

Jace Lington and Bennett Nuss chat with Hillsdale College Professor Ronald J. Pestritto about his recent article tracing the rise of the administrative state and the revolution it wrought in the federal government. Pestritto explores the evolution of the administrative state, tracing its roots back to the Progressive Era and the shift from a government based on consent to one grounded in expertise. He argues that this transformation has led to a significant disconnect between elected officials and the bureaucratic agencies that wield substantial power without direct accountability to the electorate. The conversation delves into the implications of this shift, particularly in the context of the Trump administration's attempts to rein in the administrative state and the ongoing debates surrounding judicial oversight and legislative responsibility.Notes:Government By the Unelected: How It Happened, and How It Might Be Tamed, Ronald J. Pestritto The Original Progressives Are No Guide for Today's Conservatives, Ronald J.

NDEMIC POLICY AND THE DYING CITIZEN Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that unelected health officials like Anthony Fauci exercised excessive power that damaged the middle class while favoring large corporations. He contends that lockdowns and school closures caused irreparable harm, particularly to children, while scientific claims regarding natural immunity and masking have been challenged. Hanson also suggests the virus likely escaped from a Wuhan laboratory engaged in gain-of-function research. NUMBER 81821

THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE AND UNELECTED POWER Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson describes the "administrative state" or "deep state" as a permanent class of unelected bureaucrats who possess vast power without accountability to voters or Congress. He asserts that these officials, believing their expertise gives them moral authority, actively "resisted" the Trump administration through leaks and bureaucratic sabotage, viewing themselves as superior to elected leadership. He cites the "raisin police" as a specific example of how this regulatory state can tyrannically control the private property and labor of citizens. NUMBER 4

COVID-19 AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic empowered unelected bureaucrats to enforce lockdowns that disproportionately crushed the middle class while enriching large corporations and the "Zoom class." He claims the scientific consensus was manipulated to protect China regarding the virus's origins and that early dissenters who questioned the efficacy of lockdowns and masks have since been vindicated. The response highlighted a deep divide between the "essential" working class and the insulated elites who managed the crisis from safety. NUMBER 8

Every week, headlines tell us that a single federal judge has blocked a presidential order—sometimes halting major policies for years. But should that be possible? Is it democratic?In this episode, we dig into the rise and fall of universal injunctions—a little-known legal tool that allowed one judge to freeze nationwide policy. With a recent Supreme Court decision, those injunctions are now off the table, but the ruling raises bigger questions: Has the Court consolidated power for itself? What does this mean for the balance between the executive branch, lower courts, and the justices in Washington?We talk with Jack Goldsmith, former Assistant Attorney General and Harvard Law professor, to unpack the legal mechanics, political stakes, and the hidden negotiations between the Supreme Court and the presidency. The result is a story about law, politics, and power that goes far beyond the headlines.

Unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, federal district trial court Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong in Los Angeles has decided that it is she, rather than the Article II Executive Branch, who is in charge of managing the operations of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement.   She has issued an order that—essentially—instructs ICE that they are obligated to obey the law. More specifically, her order prohibits ICE from improperly profiling suspects based solely on their apparent race or skin color.  Such race-based profiling is, of course, unlawful already.  That said, profiling generally is not unlawful, the profiling must merely be based on lawful considerations beyond solely race or skin-color.  Profiling that incorporates additional factors unrelated to race or skin-color are perfectly lawful—such as presence in an environment known to be frequented by illegal migrant third-world invaders, the inability of the suspect to speak English, and other allowable factors. Indeed, ICE needs only mere reasonable suspicion to stop and investigate a suspected illegal migrant third-world invader who is located anywhere within a full 100 miles of a US border—and, of course, the entirety of Los Angeles falls well within this 100 mile range of the US west coast. Further, the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district trial court Judge Frimpong has also decided that she has the authority to micro-manage the operations of the Article II Executive Branch agency of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, contrary to the will of the Article II Executive Branch president elected by the whole of the American people to carry out our political will.The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

Federal Judge Brian Murphy—the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district trial court judge raised to the federal bench on December 6, 2024, a FULL MONTH AFTER the re-election of President Donald J. Trump, was a mere 200 days on the bench when he had the dubious honor to be checked by the US Supreme Court itself on June 24 of this year, when SCOTUS paused the injunction Judge Murphy had issued against Trump's efforts to deport murderers and other violent illegal migrants from our great nation.That SCOTUS check didn't even give Judge Murphy pause, however, as the SAME DAY he issued an order informing the White House that the SCOTUS ruling against him nevertheless left him with the authority to order about the President in the exercise of his core and plenary Article III Executive Branch authority as if Trump were a mere clerk in Judge Murphy's court.Naturally, Trump immediately appealed this lawless judge's order right back to the Supreme court.A mere 9 days later, yesterday, July 3, 2025, SCOTUS was obliged to issue a rare “clarification” of its June 24 order against Judge Murphy, explaining as if to an idiot that their ruling against him was COMPREHENSIVE, and not something around which a judge on the federal bench for a mere 209 days was free to wiggle around. Join me LIVE as I break all this down into plain English, and explain what SHOULD be the consequence for unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal court judge demonstrates such a psychotic intent to unlawfully constrain our elected Article II Executive Branch president in carrying out the will of the American people. Get Your FREE Copy of Our Best-Selling Book: "The Law of Self Defense: Principles"Visit Here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/getthebook"You are wise to buy this material.

An unelected Marxist Judge today said that 'Nazis got better treatment' than the Venezuelan gang members got under the Alien Enemies Act deportations. In what world do these unelected career bureaucrats live in? These gang members come to this country illegally, commit crimes and they are suppose to be paraded ?

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Constitutional crisis we face right now is coming out of the lower courts of the federal judiciary and it must be stopped. We have a federal Judge who ordered President Trump to call back an airplane that was flying vicious criminals back to El Salvador and we have every right to call these Judges out. When Judges act like politicians they must be criticized. The official position of MAGA: Iran will not get nukes. The President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, and National Security Advisor all said in the last 24-36 hours that by hook or by crook, Iran must not and will not get nuclear weapons. A remarkable chapter in space exploration closed with the safe return of 2 astronauts stranded for nine months—a feat made possible by Elon Musk and his SpaceX team. This historic achievement underscores what innovation and determination can accomplish, even as Musk faces unjust criticism and vandalism from the left targeting Tesla. While detractors attack, Musk succeeds where others couldn't, saving two astronauts in a mission prioritized by President Trump. Unelected federal district judges, particularly in Democrat-leaning areas, are overstepping their authority and undermining the separation of powers by issuing vague or overly broad orders that interfere with presidential duties, such as immigration enforcement and border security. This is judicial overreach, unchecked by the Supreme Court or Chief Justice John Roberts, and it threatens the constitutional framework, potentially leading to a judicial oligarchy or tyranny. Also, Sen Bernie Sanders is a Stalinist. To him, the Democratic Party isn't wrong—it's just not committed enough. Why is it acceptable for a man who shares the ideology of Castro and Mao to be treated like just another liberal? Bernie worships Marxism. He uses the language of the Constitution to attack the Constitution, which is typical of Marxists. Also, Musk's legal team should explore filing tortious interference lawsuits against individuals, including members of Congress, who are attempting to undermine Tesla.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump and Elon Musk and Donald Trump are key figures working to save the country, but they face strong resistance from Democrats and the ruling class, who will use procedural tactics to stall progress, much like they did with Ronald Reagan. Judges are becoming more politically extreme, with actions like blocking DOGE's access to Social Security data and rulings on transgender military bans, while Sen Chuck Schumer's admission of politicized judicial appointments confirms these concerns. Democrats know which judges will deliver for them. Democrats, though unpopular, hold sway over unelected government branches. When they win elections, they tout it as a public mandate, but when Republicans prevail, they shift focus to these unelected entities to retain influence, which they are doing now. Also, Musk's legal team should explore filing tortious interference lawsuits against individuals, including members of Congress, who are attempting to undermine Tesla. Congressional immunity under the Speech and Debate Clause does not apply when statements are made outside of Congress or are unrelated to official legislative duties. Those orchestrating, financing, or executing efforts to harm Tesla could potentially be held accountable, making this an avenue worth investigating thoroughly. Later, Benjamin Hall calls in to discuss his new book, Resolute: How We Humans Keep Finding Ways to Beat the Toughest Odds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

MANDATE FOR THE UNELECTED NEW DEALERS, 1936:  5/8: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal by  David Pietrusza  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Roosevelt-Sweeps-Nation-Landslide-Triumph/dp/1635767776 Award-winning historian David Pietrusza boldly steers clear of the pat narrative regarding Franklin Roosevelt's unprecedented 1936 re-election landslide, weaving an enormously more intricate, ever more surprising tale of a polarized nation; of America's most complex, calculating, and politically successful president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the very top of his Machiavellian game; and the unlocking of the puzzle of how our society, our politics, and our parties fitfully reinvented themselves. With in-depth examinations of rabble-rousing Democratic US Senator Huey Long and his assassination before he was able to challenge FDR in '36; powerful, but widely hated, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, who blasted FDR's “Raw Deal”; wildly popular, radical radio commentator Father Coughlin; the steamrolled passage of Social Security and backlash against it; the era's racism and anti-Semitism; American Socialism and Communism; and a Supreme Court seemingly bent on dismantling the New Deal altogether, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is a vivid portrait of a dynamic Depression-Era America. 1936 FDR WARM SPRINGS
