Are you ready to crack open the mysteries of the U.S. Constitution? Brace yourself as we journey deep into the intricacies of Article 2, dissecting the roles and responsibilities of the executive branch. We'll illuminate the president's duty to enforce laws, the vice president's pivotal role in certifying votes, and how the 12th Amendment drastically reshaped our electoral landscape. And that's just the tip of the constitutional iceberg. The path to presidency is steeped in stipulations - you've got to be a natural born citizen for starters - and we'll expose what really happens when a president is unseated.It's not all politics and power, we're also tackling the sacred rights we hold as individuals and how the Constitution wraps them in protection. We're confronting the uncomfortable truth of slavery, and the paradox it presents within a document proclaiming equality. The U.S. is sitting on a $30 trillion debt time bomb, but might the budget resolution hold the key to defusing it? Plus, we're questioning the constitutionality of the U.S. Department of Education and its role in K-12 education. As we tie up our study of Article 1, we're setting the stage to explore Article 2 in depth. This is your invitation to a rich conversation about the U.S. Constitution, and how understanding it is crucial to building a better nation. Don't miss out - we're just getting started.Support the show

Texas has finally invoked the US Constitution and declared an invasion at the southern border! We're going to take a look at the emergency powers that Governor Greg Abbott has invoked and we're going to see how out-of-control illegal immigration is actually bringing the Democrats to the breaking point, which means amazing news for Trump in 2024!  Highlights: “Governor Abbott has sent an official letter to Bumblin' Biden informing him that the state of Texas has asserted its right as a sovereign state to invoke Article 1, section 10, and that they are now taking all necessary measures to stop this flow of illegal immigration that's crossing the borders by the hundreds of thousands per month!” “Texas officials are once again installing a "marine barrier installation" along the Rio Grande river, which consists of orange buoys with webbing to prevent people from swimming underneath it. They're also filling in gaps between the border walls with massive cargo containers and barbed wire so as to prevent illegal crossings!” “Trump says he will carry out the 'largest domestic deportation operation in American history' if reelected. He told a rally in Iowa that he plans to also invoke what's called the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected Gang Members, drug dealers, or Cartel Members from the United States'."   Timestamps: [00:49] Texas invoked the US Constitution and declared an invasion at the southern border [04:10] How illegal immigration is even bringing the Democrats to a breaking point!

Strike! Union actions are everywhere. High profile work stoppages from the Screen Actors Guild to the United Auto Workers have put the labor movement front and center in ways we haven't seen for decades. How powerful is the impact of these actions? You're not going to like my take on it.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Recently marked the 236th anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution, a day that raises the question: Are we doing enough to honor and protect our republic? Reflecting on Benjamin Franklin's profound words, "A republic, if you can keep it," we delve into the challenges facing our nation. From wars and invasions to the perilous threat of apathy, we examine what it truly means...

In the debates over the ratification of the US Constitution, the Anti-Federalists often resorted to predictions of the worst case of the future. The understood human nature better than the Federalists did, but they lacked the ability to hope that the American people would rise above that nature. George Washington had strongly supported ratification, but by this day in 1796, he was exhausted. Not just by war, but by the Presidency not being quite what he had hoped or expected it to be. As he said farewell to the nation, he was seeing the Anti-Federalist warnings beginning to come to fruition. He himself would not become one of them, but his warning to the nation would be along so many of the same lines of thinking. As we take a few moments today to consider the Farewell Address of Washington, we must ask those same questions of ourselves. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plausibly-live/message

With Victor Armendariz

The U.S. Hearing Entitled: Digital Dollar Dilemma: The Implications of a Central Bank Digital Currency and Private Sector Alternatives is a hearing held by the House Financial Services Committee to discuss the potential implications of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and private sector alternatives, such as blockchain-based stablecoins.Government-controlled and issued CBDCs have a number of potential advantages, including:Increased financial inclusion for underserved communitiesMore efficient and faster paymentsReduced reliance on cashEnhanced financial stabilityHowever, there are also some potential risks associated with CBDCs, including:Privacy concerns: A CBDC could be used by the government to track and monitor all financial transactionsCentralization risk: A CBDC would give the government a great deal of control over the financial systemFinancial repression: The government could use a CBDC to restrict access to funds or implement negative interest ratesBlockchain-based stablecoins are another type of digital currency that is pegged to the value of a fiat currency, such as the US dollar. Stablecoins offer some of the same advantages as CBDCs, such as faster and cheaper payments and increased financial inclusion. However, stablecoins are also more decentralized than CBDCs, meaning that they are not subject to government control.ECash is a proposed digital dollar pilot program that was introduced by Congressman Stephen Lynch. ECash would be a government-issued CBDC that would be distributed to low-income Americans through prepaid cards. Proponents of ECash argue that it would help to reduce financial inequality and promote financial inclusion. However, critics of ECash argue that it is a surveillance tool that would give the government too much control over people's finances.The debate over CBDCs and private sector alternatives is largely about the issue of how far we are willing to give up our privacy in order to gain the benefits of a digital currency. Proponents of CBDCs argue that the government can be trusted to protect our privacy. However, critics of CBDCs point to the government's history of surveillance and financial repression as evidence that we should not trust the government with this level of control over our financial lives.The outcome of the debate over CBDCs and private sector alternatives is likely to have a significant impact on the future of the financial system. It is important to have a well-informed debate about this issue so that we can make the best decision for the future of our economy and our democracy.In addition to the above, here are some other points to consider:The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. Some people argue that a government-issued CBDC would violate the 4th Amendment, as the government would be able to track all financial transactions made with a CBDC.Proponents of CBDCs argue that they can be designed to protect privacy. For example, a CBDC could be designed so that users can choose to make anonymous transactions. However, critics of CBDCs argue that it would be difficult to design a CBDC that truly protects privacy, as the government would always have the ability to track transactions if it wanted to.The debate over CBDCs is also about the issue of financial inclusion. Some people argue that a government-issued CBDC could help to reduce financial inequality and promote financial inclusion by making it easier for people to access financial services. However, critics of CBDCs argue that a CBDC could actually lead to more financial exclusion, as the government could use a CBDC to restrict access to funds or implement negative interest rates.The debate over CBDCs and private sector alternatives is complex and there are no easy answers. It is important to weigh the potential benefits and risks of both options carefully before making a decision about the future of the financial system.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—please my friends REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— EV mandates are getting hit now by both Republicans and Democrats—as they go after a California law they say is nothing more than a tail-pipe dream—   Number Two— The Governor of New Mexico is getting greased by people of all political persuasions by arguing she is above the US Constitution—if she says so—she at least is one HONEST Democrat—more should follow suit—   Number Three— I have to admit—another day—and another bombshell—this time its delivered by the once disgraced US Attorney from Delaware—David Weiss—who is still not out of the woods of course—BUT maybe he is making amends for his ill-advised super sweetheart deal he cobbled together this year for Hunter Biden—before it got laughed out of court back in July—   That deal would have let Hunter—the first son—and Joe Bidens business partner—slide on a host of very serious crimes—including, but not limited to lying on a background check form to buy a gun—   Hunter claimed he was not a drug addict—BUT later in a book said he was in fact a junkie when he bought the handgun—meaning—that he lied—HE LIED on a federal gun background check—it's the kind of thing that Democrats scream should carry much harsher penalties—   Well good news Democrats—now that David Weiss the US Attorney for Delaware has been made Special Counsel—after the Judge rejected the entire Hunter Plea deal—he filed 3 felony gun charges against the First Son—and these are serious charges—that carry penalties including 10 years in prison—ON EACH COUNT—But don't count on that—   Anyway—it is Free for all Friday—so lets lean into it—football is right around the corner—BUT politics is the original contact sport as I recall—   So lets start with the lapdog media—and the breaking news coverage— Now with this announcement came plenty of reaction—a lot of reaction—NOT the least of which came from former President Donald Trump—the man most likely to be President AGAIN come January of 2025—who pointed out—this is the ONLY charge against Team Biden, that keeps the current guy in the Oval Office out of harms way—Boy is he right about that—   BUT the avalanche of problems facing Joey and his team of Grifters isn't going anywhere of course after the announcement yesterday by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that a formal impeachment inquiry is now underway—   I mean I think President Trump and the rest of us—can take a moment and just watch whats happening—   The media lapdogs are in full-blown panic over the impeachment—and Hunters indictments are only adding salt to the open wound—so relax everyone—enjoy the show—   I mean really, most of us out here in the hinterlands are honest hard working folks that are actually interested in the truth—and we vote—remember that—and right now, the impeachment and a pending Hunter Biden trial do not bode well for those trying to take away our cars, our guns and our jobs—in pursuit of the Green New Steal—   And believe it or not—I am starting to like Kevin McCarthy a bit more, no I'm serious, relax and listen to what I'm saying—   I mean I told you I would give him the benefit of the doubt—and so far I still am—and this—well this—really gave me a bit of optimism—    But but but—Joey says he loves his son—which I am sure is true—BUT that doesn't make him innocent—   And this is just the latest in a long line of ever louder questions about the Biden Administration—   I mean come on—does anyone and I mean anyone actually buy into the whole deal—that Joey didn't know anything about what Hunter was up to?   Does anyone believe he didn't see millions of dollars coming in? Really? He didn't notice that his bank accounts were being flooded with tens of millions of dollars???    Please!   Of course not,—that doesn't pass anyone's stink test—of course Joe, even in his very compromised state knew damn well that Hunter was trading on the family name and raking in tens of millions for access to the old man from China, Russia, Ukraine and plenty of other places including Kazakhstan and Romania to name a couple more—   But look that's just part of it—   There are other major concerns for voters in America today concerning this guy—his poll numbers are in the 30's now—and they aren't getting better—I mean what is he doing, what is his team doing that would help him gain in the polls?   The answer is nothing—   Which brings me now to the question of his age—or more accurately—his cognitive ability—I mean I have known many people well over 80 that are sharp as a tack—I have also talked to people much younger that I wouldn't trust getting Joey an ice cream cone—you know what I mean!   So here it is—does anyone—honestly believe that Joe Biden is capable of handling the nuclear football???   NO!   But they did have Grandpa out on the road again yesterday—and he tried hard to get through it—BUT its painful to watch—and it gets more painful by the day—   Look Joe Bidens expiration date passed a long—a very long time ago—and he is not going to get better—BUT his team is trying to prop him up—BUT unfortunately it ain't working—

This is technically the final installment of our series “Understanding Socialism” where we cover the period between the Paris Commune in 1871 and onset of World War I, which precedes (and leads to) the Russian Revolution in 1917. We're going to cover the Russian Revolution briefly in an epilogue that speaks to the divergence from classical Marxism from the Revolution forward and where socialist movements stand today. This final episode brings new figures into the spotlight such as Karl Kautsky and Rosa Luxemburg and crosses the pond to introduce the likes of Emma Goldman and Eugene Debs.

Mike Hammond is the Legislative Counsel for Gunowners of America.--We live in a time when every man is doing that which is right in his own eyes and lawlessness abounds. We see major metropolitan cities collapsing due to their lack of enforcing the law. Retail stores are leaving these areas in droves. It's going to get worse. To many, the rule of law means nothing in this current day. What about the Constitution-- Well, it changes to whatever we want it to say.--For just a brief moment, Jim shared that Planned Parenthood is resuming abortions in Wisconsin on Monday, September 18th. Lawlessness---Lawlessness also abounds in New Mexico as Governor Grisham made a very unconstitutional executive order suspending the 2nd Amendment in an attack upon the New Mexico Constitution and the US Constitution. She used the guise of a public health emergency to ban the right to carry firearms for most citizens within the city of Albuquerque. The ban is for a 30-day period, though the Governor is considering making it longer. Yesterday, Gun Owners of America secured a temporary restraining order against the Governor's ban on concealed carry.

Senator Mike Lee joins to discuss his new bill that would limit the executive branch's authority to designate national monuments; The 51 state constitutions that matter just as much as the US Constitution; A growing number of people are voicing concerns about a Biden-Harris reelection bid, calling for them to step aside. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Illegal aliens or illegal immigrants, no matter what you call it, it's still illegal. And while the US Constitution does offer provisions of protection for illegal aliens, it does not address provisions for "undocumented immigrants." The latter is a term created by Democrats and liberal media to somewhat lessen the sting of the crime being committed by those breaching our borders. Heather Robinson...

UPDATE: The pro-Second Amendment forces have secured a Temporary. Restraining Order in Federal Court to FOIL Governess' Grisham's scheme to suspend the US Constitution within the Land of Enchantment!Last Friday--probably in the hopes that it wouldn't get too much media attention--New Mexico Governess Lujan Grisham decided that she had the legal authority to suspend the Second Amendment of the Constitution in two of her state's counties. Unfortunately for #LujanGrisham, her estrogenic overreach has invited a metric ton of political pushback, including calls for her impeachment, and public statements from New Mexico's leading law enforcement officers that they had zero interest in enforcing her unconstitutional order. Join us as we discuss both Grisham's inane order and the entirely proper political push back it has generated. We'll stream LIVE at Noon ET, Thursday, Sept. 14. BREAKING!

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—please my friends REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— Some powerful questions have been put on the table about how much American taxpayers were on the hook to pay for the Gain of Function research in Wuhan China—a non-anwer seems to say it all—   Number Two— In New Mexico the Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham—is under heavy criticism for asserting she has the sole right to suspend the US Constitution under the guise of a public health emergency over gun deaths—   Number Three— The House Republicans after a series of inquiries, whistleblowers and of course the avalanche of evidence tumbling out of Hunter Bidens laptop have decided it is time to pursue an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden—for a variety of transgressions while he was Vice President—BUT it may reach into the Oval Office as well— As you can imagine—all those Democrats that pursued President Trump for 2 impeachments—including one after he left office, without witnesses or evidence are now crying foul--  because they know that James Comer and the Republicans have found real potential crimes involving President Biden—that could really hit home as we are headed into the Presidential Election year of 2024—  It seems those on the left don't even care about what evidence has been found or what facts are going to be presented—they won't be waiting to hear any of it— But High ranking—long time members of Congress and the US Senate are having a hard time dismissing everything that is coming to light—involving Joe Biden, who Comer describes as the ring leader of the Biden crime family—  I mean, with Hunter now facing at least one felony charge for illegally buying a handgun—and the Department of Justice looking completely foolish for trying to hide a plea deal back in July for that and tax evasion involving more than $2 million in unpaid taxes—the mood seems to be shifting—even for some on the left— Of course there are some on the left that simply do not care what Joe Biden or Hunter—or anyone with the last name of Biden may have done—you see they hate Donald Trump so much for winning in 2016—that they will expend every ounce of energy trying to destroy him—or anyone associated with him—while completely ignoring everything we've heard through though whistleblowers on Capital Hill, or Biden family partners like Devon Archer—or Tony Bobulinski—none of that matters to them—they just want to lash out at anyone who can see quite clearly that the Grifter in Chief has a long history of dirty deals—and they are all catching up with him— And through out the day—it got more surreal following Kevin McCarthy's announcement that an impeachment inquiry was going to start— And then it just got weird—and I mean really weird! Now predictably enough—the Republicans were clearly keeping their powder dry and preparing to dig deep into the entire Biden Klan to see what will come out— And as we have seen people like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro get charged and convicted for ignoring Congressional subpoenas in recent days and weeks—you can bet those subpoenas are about to fly from the GOP committees and their chairs in search of the truth—and of course political salvation with a big dose of retribution thrown in— And of course the biggest question is how this will all affect the Presidential Election next year—with Joe Bidens approval numbers already at record lows—will this hurt or help him with voters—and what about those that have so closely tied themselves to the President—and his failing policies—

Live from STUDIO G in the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—giving you better analysis than anyone else while defending this great nation—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— Apparently America—under the failing leadership of Joe Biden is willing to put up Billions of dollars to the number one state sponsor of terror, Iran—in exchange for 5 people—it is reckless and dangerous—   Number Two— Tough questions are now getting asked about how much money the US spent to support the study of deadly diseases—including Covid-19 at the Wuhan institute of Virology in China—   Number Three— In New Mexico—the move by the Governor to declare that she is the sole arbiter of what rights her citizens will have—is coming under a barrage of attacks and heavy scorn—for declaring that she can suspend the US Constitution if she sees fit to declare some sort of statewide emergency—   Which of course is what she did—when she declared nobody could have a gun—even those with concealed carry permits in the states largest city Albuquerque for the next month—   Lets just say—its not going well as both Republicans and Democrats are openly rejecting that claim

Independent, investigative news, reporting, interviews and commentary

On September 17, 1787, the members of the Constitutional Convention concluded their work by signing the final draft of their new proposed government. The document they signed was the United States Constitution, which is why the United States marks Constitution Day each year on September 17. In honor of Constitution Day, we explore the life of a Founder who played a large role in the creation and shaping of the United States Constitution: James Wilson. Michael H. Taylor, Professor of United States History and Political Science at Northeast Community College and author of James Wilson: The Anxious Founder, joins us to investigate the life of James Wilson, who stands as one of the United States' overlooked founders.  Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/366 Sponsor Links Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Factor Meals Save 50 percent by using code benfranklin50   Complementary Episodes Episode 055: Robb Haberman, John Jay: Forgotten Founder Episode 094: Cassandra Good, Founding Friendships Episode 107: Mary Sarah Bilder, Madison's Hand Episode 143: Michael Klarman, The Making of the United States Constitution Episode 153: Committees and Congresses: Governments of the American Revolution Episode 212: Researching Biography Episode 258: Jane Calvert, “John Dickinson Life, Religion, & Politics” Listen!

Today is the 22nd anniversary of the attacks of 9/11. I open with my own recollection and then tell you the story of one particular hero you may not have heard about, who saved 2,700 people. His example is a reminder of all the best part of being an American, including standing up to dictators and police states. In the meantime, President Joe Biden made a laughingstock out of himself, his party and our nation between his actions at the G20 and on the following trip to Vietnam. He is well beyond the first stages of dementia and should be removed from office. I believe the Left knows this and that's why we keep getting little drips and drabs of news that is negative about Biden. In fact, Chuck Todd on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday had to relay so bad polling taken from strictly democrat voters. 67% of democrats want someone else to run in 2024. Of all the possible concerns democrats have for Joe Biden, 49% say age is their top worry. And while 52% of democrats felt inspired by Joe Biden in April of 2021, just over two years later, that number has dropped to just 28%. By every metric and measure, Biden is failing and losing even his own base. Heading into the weekend, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham decided to break her oath of office and wage war on the US Constitution by inventing an public health emergency and then giving herself authoritarian powers to suspend the Second Amendment. In her mind, no Constitutional right, including her own oath of office, is intended to be absolute. This is the most flagrant attack on the Bill of Rights since the indictments against Donald Trump. The Left is pushing the bounds so far that even Lefty lunatic Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) had to tweet out how un-Constitutional this move is. And the sad part, she knows it won't hold up in court and did it anyway. She needs to have immediate Article of Impeachment brought against her. This step toward tyranny cannot be allowed to proliferate though other blue states. And, let's be clear, she is a tyrant by all definitions. All we need to do is look at her conduct at the start of the Covid scare. She wasted no time locking down the state and passing her authoritarian edicts. Of course, like many other modern democrats, she had different rules for herself. First she got caught asking her favorite jewelry store to open up as a special favor to her. Next she was caught stealing tax-payer funds to buy groceries and liquor for staff gathering at the Governor's mansion while everyone else was told to isolate and distance themselves. On a positive note, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal upheld the lawsuit brought by the AG's in Louisiana and Missouri against Big Governments Censorship Industrial Complex. It's a step in the right direction, but so much more needs to be done to rein in and curtail this giant, bloated blob we call our Federal Government. And, on an even better news story, even CNN had to report how Donald Trump was cheered when he attended the Iowa v. Iowa State game. College kids were all cheering “USA!” at his presence. Yet another sign the Legacy/mainstream media is slowly pulling away from their adoration and devotion to Joe Biden.

I had a bunch of dental work yesterday, so sorry I wasn't here to comment on the whole Bremerton JV football Coach situation. On the other hand, for the first time in my adult life, I made it through the entire procedure (three fillings) with (1) ZERO pain and (2) no panic attack. I was able to eat within a couple of hours, and now I am wondering what I was so worried about? One of the greatest pleasures of what I do is the random people that it brings into my life. It seems as if I have met dozens upon dozens of folks simply by being out there who have made my life interesting and better. In some cases, they have become close friends and in other cases, people with whom I have worked on projects that were enjoyable and fun. Despite the success at the dentist, yesterday was not a good day. Some years ago, one of the random people I met was a fellow blogger and also, a former sailor. He was a retired Asia Sailor, and his blog was dedicated to keeping the memory and fellowship of that special group alive. After a few months of talking and sharing together, he invited me to become a member of his private group of Asia Sailors. I told him that I have never been west of Midway Island, but he assured me that since he was in charge of the group, he was confident that I had the proper attitude and mindset for the group. Yesterday he informed us that he was making his final post. Meanwhile, I once made a friend who texted the show about a point I had made about Star Trek. we ended up meeting in person a few weeks later at the World War I 100th Anniversary commemoration. We soon became very good friends, and while we had serious political differences, we've never allowed those disagreements to be anything other than a starting point for long and intellectual discussion about everything from science to politics to the US Constitution.  His news wasn't great, but it is getting better… All that to say something that I have so often said after I lost a close friend in the very first week I sat behind the microphone for Afternoons Live… --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plausibly-live/message

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—please my friends REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— Oil prices are heading to the highest point in a year—which will impact the price of gas in a few days for sure—which of course impacts inflation—   Number Two— Political prosecutions have hit a new low—as the leader of the fringe group the Proud Boys gets 22 years in prison for January 6th—even though he was not even there—he was already in Jail—its scary!   Number Three— And speaking of being scared—that is exactly what the Biden Administration wants—they want you to be scared to death—and they want to be the ones to tell you when to be scared—what to be scared of—BUT far more importantly they want to tell you what you can and CANNOT do—   And make no mistake—they are far more interested in taking control of what is going on—and they are peddling this fear mongering propaganda every single day from every place they possibly can—so they can be broadcast on as many TV stations—radio stations—blogs—podcasts—live—taped—streaming—just like the Modern Tokyo Roses that they are—they want to get inside your head every time they possible can—   And they want you worried about a whole host of things—things that they will then tell you—only we the elite powerful leaders of government can solve these problems—BUT you must trust us completely and NEVER question us—because if you do—we will smear you as a purveyor of misinformation and disinformation—   So there he is—Jake Sullivan—giving you the laundry list of what you should fear—of course they fail to mention the real threats to America—   Which include first and foremost, people like Jake Sullivan and his ilk—who do not care about the US Constitution—or the fact that they have a fundamental misunderstanding of America—these people actually we think we work for them—and not the other way around—which is really strange—BUT also quite predictable—I mean, Congress kept ceding power to the bureaucrats, staffers, lobbyists and whole host of swamp dwellers and as a result—we get people that think they are in charge of us—   The other existential threats to America that Jake forgot to mention are the rapid anti-American socialists, who call themselves liberals—BUT really are not liberals at all—and are in fact the very fascists they claim to oppose—   The other threats include the economy and the wide open southern border that is allowing millions of unvetted illegals to be unleashed on our nation—BUT of course none of those things fit the narrative—   So, the Democrats and the globalists are coming back to the playbook of the Pandemic—   They are doing their level best to gin up fear over some tiny spike in Covid cases—that magically coincide with a brand new Pfizer booster shot—that magically is coming out in just a few days—   It is time to really gin up the Covidians—cue the mask Nazi Karens that will be demanding you and your 2 year old mask up or they will scream for your arrest—   Ah yes, the good old days—   But remember there have been medical professionals telling us for years now—that the Covid pandemic was over-stated and our response was woefully inadequate—   They told us masks didn't work—and neither did the so-called vaccines—BUT instead of getting a platform to discuss their professional opinions—they were cancelled on social media—made fun of on CNN and MSNBC—while the rest of the nation was being herded like the sheep they were into unproven, ineffective and potentially very dangerous injections—   Now they say however—that this new strain of Covid called Perola—is the latest life threatening illness—except—that its not—because even the fear mongers cannot get enough juice out of the latest variant to show much of anything—But they keep pushing anyway—   And with the new “vaccine” ready to hit the streets in a week or so—the push to scare people has really been ramped up—except it seems too many people are not buying it anymore—   Despite that—100 colleges and universities are putting the pointless mask mandates back in place—so is an elementary school in Maryland—and more will soon follow—   The Biden Administration is going to insist on people getting another jab—but they have another thing coming if they think people will be lining up to do it again—   They won't—because nobody trusts Joe Biden—and less people trust Anthony Fauci and his well paid band of Covidian promoters—   BUT they will not stop trying—trust me on that one—   And its all in an effort to get a feeble and senile old man to the finish line—in the hopes of pulling off another scam next November—   With outright fraudulent TV talking heads working overtime to get you to buy the lies too—

Today's show opens with two back-to-back letters from the House Oversight Committee. The first reflects six new subpoena's to the Department of Homeland Security, four for documents and communication and two for two Secret Service Agents. Additionally, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) sent another request to the National Archives after discovering Eric Schwerin, long-time Hunter Biden partner and the money guy, emailed the office of the Vice President with suggested talking-points about Hunter being on the board of Burisma. Then, in a reply later that day, they are told that the “VP signed off on this.” I know it's so hard to keep waiting on these committees to do something more than write letters and demand more documentation. But, I remind you, they will only get one crack at this. It needs to be an air-tight case against the Biden Crime Family, or they risk letting the Legacy/mainstream media paint this as a nothing-burger. Both Rep. Jim Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) feel as though the House will need to more toward an impeachment inquiry in order to add more weight to what they are doing, which, traditionally, has been key in getting assistance from the judiciary. The remainder of the show is dedicated to discussing more insights gleaned from that recent FOIA request by the Heritage Foundation about the correspondence between the US Attorney's office in Delaware and the Department of Justice. Margo Cleveland discovered an email thread related to how the NY Times was used to spread the false narrative that Rudy Giuliani was the sole source for the Hunter Biden investigation. This, as we know now, is patently false. We know, thanks to multiple whistleblowers and the existence of the FD-1023 form, the information was initially corroborated by the FBI office in Pittsburgh. They said they told David Weiss's boss, Lesley Wolf that there was enough credible information to warrant further investigation. Yet, somehow, David Weiss was not made aware of the FD-1023. So, if Lesley Wolf knew of the FD-1023's existence, its sourcing to a “highly credible confidential human source,' and that several of the elements contained in that form had already been confirmed before being handed to her, why didn't she move forward with it? What happened to it? We do know Weiss and his team was fed the false narrative planted in the NY Times, but what happened to the FD-1023? This also begs the question, who was involved in telling the NY Times the false narrative? Who gave the order to plant the false story and then who was asked to bury the existence of the FD-1023? As frustratingly slow as this investigation seems, we do need to let them root out as many of the bad actors as possible. We all need to write our representatives and encourage them to utilize the tools given to them in the US Constitution to close the purse strings and keep demanding oversight in order to rein in the blatant and pervasive corruption within the agencies of the Executive Branch.

AOC. The country continues to obsess over the bright light of the progressive caucus and most high profile member of “The Squad.” From day one, AOC has been the subject of harsh criticisms steeped in misogyny and class resentment; mostly from the right. Oftentimes, however, the criticisms have come from inside the Democratic Party establishment. Recently, however, she's been in the crosshairs of the far left end of the spectrum. Some of this isn't new, but it seems to be growing. In this episode we look deeper at her record, set a few things straight about the nature of politics in America and make a haunting comparison from history that serves as a warning.
