ive 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—giving you better analysis than anyone else while defending this great nation—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— John Kerry and his fellow globalist cult members are continuing to attack farming—the latest target of the so called green new deal—strange that they want to plow farms under—   Number Two— Barack Obama apparently met with Joe Biden in June and told him clearly that Donald Trump—no matter what they throw at him should not be under estimated—and could certainly win in 2024—   Number Three— I never thought I would see the day that my nation—my beloved America—founded on the greatest governing documents ever conceived would be charging politicians with crimes for giving political speeches—   It is truly a heartbreaking point in history—and one that must be put down like a rapid dog—this attack on the First Amendment by way of Donald Trump cannot stand—   It should not matter whether you are a Republican or Democrat or Libertarian—if you are not appalled by the attacks on free speech being carried out by the same guy that had convictions against the former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell thrown out by a unanimous 9-0 vote of the United States Supreme Court—then you are not paying attention—AT ALL!   Jack Smith has wandered so far afield that he is using a post Civil War statue designed to rein in the Ku Klux Klan to try to pin something on the former President—BUT the latest charges are the weakest of all—   After being arraigned in DC—President Trump spoke to a few reporters for a few moments—   Not far away—one of the Presidents attorneys laid out the strange relationship between the spreading scandals involving both Hunter Biden and now the implications that his father was taking in millions of dollars too—with the timing of charges aimed at Donald Trump—   And all of that is suspect—BUT what is really going on here?   Its time we peel away the whitewash and get to the facts of the matter—and the fact is—Jack Smith—is a political operative trying to take out Joe Bidens number one opponent in the upcoming Presidential Election—by almost making up charges out of thin air—and that comes from a long time, well respected Constitutional attorney—who is also a Democrat—    And if the First Amendment no longer covers the free discussion of ideas from politicians—that could create a whole new playing field huh?   And the man that broke the trail that made it possible for me to sit here along with others—and give our take on what is happening here and around the world—he saw this coming years ago—and this will come as no surprise—   Rush knew then—man we could use him today—and Andrew Breitbart—and maybe even Tim Russert—voices that would have a lot to say about the unprecedented attacks on a former President and leading candidate—   Boy that would be nice huh?   Getting back now to the revelations that came out this week from long-time friend of Hunter and his business partner—or is that his Partner in crime? Either way—what Democrat Dan Goldman said following the closed door hearing—well it turns out—most of it was not true at all—and the one MSM Network following the story—laid it on the line—   And the other talking point that Democrats tried to push just doesn't pass the stink test—in fact we now know that Joe Biden sat down at dinner with one of the key players from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma—   But the Media wants you to think it was just Pops checking in and doting on his kid—   Yeah, good old Super Dad—the amazing father Joe Biden—who, when he is not groping and sniffing minors—is working alongside his addict son—to coerce foreign stakeholders to pay up with giant amounts of money—to have him fix their problems in Washington—   And yet—all the attacks on Trump seem to pale in comparison to the misdeeds of the Biden Clan—at least that's what voters are apparently deciding—

What Constitutes Political Corruption?   An Upcoming Supreme Court Case May Define it, and Not in a Good WayToday's LinksArticles: The New Republic - The Supreme Court Might Be on the Brink of Making Corruption Easier—AgainScotus Blog - Percoco v United States Washington Post - Ex-Va. governor Robert McDonnell guilty of 11 counts of corruptionPolitico - Supreme Court overturns Bob McDonnell's corruption convictionsGroups Taking Action:Democracy 21,  Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause, Citizens for Ethics in Washington (CREW)You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.What constitutes political corruption?    Short of receiving a briefcase of cash in exchange for a vote, there's not much that will convince the U.S. Supreme Court that it IS corruption.   An upcoming case may even do away with that red line.An article in The New Republic by Michael Linhorst explores an upcoming case in the U.S. Supreme Court called Percoco v. United States.  An aide to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo temporarily stepped down to run Cuomo's campaign, saying he would return to his government job.  While a “private citizen” he used a government office and phones while he pressured state officials on behalf of a developer in exchange for $35,000 being sent to his wife.  While it seems like open and shut corruption, court scholars and democracy advocates cite recent examples like the 2014 conviction of Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell.  He and his wife were convicted in state courts of taking lavish gifts, and sweetheart loans from a developer.   But because no quid pro quo was proven, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction.   Watchdogs think the Percoco case may open the doors of corruption even wider. In the 2010 Citizens United decision, which allows unlimited money in elections, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote “the appearance of influence or access” for donors “will not cause the electorate to lose faith in our democracy.”We have links to articles and groups taking action at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.  For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl. 

More than 1Million people visit the Pentagon Memorial each year, but unlike the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania and the 9/11 Memorial in NYC, the 9/11 National Pentagon Memorial does not have a visitors center where people can be educated and learn about more about what happen at the Pentagon on that day in our nations history.

The true story of Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and First Lady Maureen McDonnell's corruption scandal, trial and legacy.

This week, New York Magazine's Andrew Sullivan penned an alarming missive to America, contending that our presumed-to-be stable democracy is ripe for an authoritarian takeover. Wondering is he had anyone particular in mind? Well, we're going to find out, because he's joining us to talk about it today. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is currently hearing an appeal from former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, who was convicted on corruption charges back in 2014, on one of the most open and shut cases of cash for favors we can ever remember. So why does the Supreme Court seem inclined to take his side? We'll talk about the case that could destroy our already meager protections against government corruption with author and House candidate Zephyr Teachout. Finally, we continue our coverage of the Flint lead water crisis by talking to Michigan Representative Dan Kildee, who this week maintained that what's been going on in the beleaguered city should continue to be a paramount concern of all Americans.
