Ep. 199 - The Truth About the Baby Formula Shortage

This is the latest example demonstrating how out of control the United States' federal government is. Virtually everything they do is unconstitutional.
It's time to put the federal government back into its limited power sandbox as prescribed by the Constitution. The consequences of not doing such are devastating.

Ep. 198 - The Truth About What is NOT in the Constitution

What powers are granted by the United States Constitution to the federal government? Not much!
What is NOT in the Constitution? A lot! Things such as:
Privacy, abortion, assault weapons, old age pensions, welfare programs or infrastructure spending! There is no mention of a central bank - paper currency or digital currency, student loans or mortgages! There’s nothing about education, healthcare or health insurance, corporate bailouts, the environment or carbon dioxide emissions! Nothing about energy, labor laws, occupational safety, transportation, food, pharmaceuticals, disease control or farm subsidies! You won’t find homeland security, the CIA, the NSA, consumer protection, election laws, border security, regulating financial companies or the FDIC!
In this episode we demonstrate the absurdity and unconstitutionality of the federal government's never-ending power grab and examine the proper role it should play in society if it were put back in its small and extremely limited, constitutional sandbox.

Ep. 99 - The Truth About Abraham Lincoln - Part II

In Episode #98, we focused on the most common myths about Lincoln. In this episode, we take a deeper look at the man, his motivations, his actions and consider what his true legacy should be. Specifically we examine how he destroyed states' rights, his dictatorial actions during the war, his real agenda and we make a strong case that he should have been charged as a war criminal had he lived.

Ep. 98 - The Truth About Abraham Lincoln - Part I

When you think of Abe Lincoln what do you think? "Honest Abe?" A great orator? The Gettysburg Address? The five dollar bill? Mount Rushmore? He saved America? His assassination by John Wilkes Booth? His Zeus-like monument in Washington, D.C. He always ranks at or near the top of every list of “the greatest Presidents.”
But what is the truth about Abraham Lincoln?

Ep. 64 - The Truth About the Federal Income Tax and the Sixteenth Amendment

What would you say if I told you the federal income tax is unconstitutional? You most likely would say, "How can that be? I thought we have a constitutional amendment that covers the income tax?"
In this episode we are going to examine a perspective that you’ve likely never heard before and look at the truth about the federal income tax and the Sixteenth Amendment. You may be surprised to know that the manner in which the federal income tax is levied may not be in compliance with the Sixteenth Amendment nor with Supreme Court opinions on income tax cases.

Ep. 47 - The Truth About Roe v Wade - Part II - What They Don’t Tell You

In this second episode on the Roe v. Wade opinion, we are going to walk through the second half of the opinion and expose you to parts that neither the pro-life nor the pro-abortion side of the debate ever mention. Namely the very clear language finding that the right to an abortion and the right to privacy is NOT absolute. The opinion clearly grants states the ability to regulate and ban abortions.
It's right there in black in white! Why isn't this common knowledge?

Ep. 46 - The Truth About Roe v Wade - Part I - Sick and Twisted

I think it is safe to say that the Roe v. Wade opinion is the most controversial Supreme Court opinion of the last 50 years. If not, the consequences of it certainly are with over 50 million abortions being performed. But what is the truth about the opinion? How many people have actually taken the time to read it?
Upon reading the opinion, I was struck by the intellectual dishonesty of the majority opinion and the lack of true constitutional analysis. I was also alarmed at the callous manner in which the life in the womb was characterized and the list of so-called valid reasons for ending an innocent life.
In this episode, I introduce or reintroduce you to the Roe case and walk you through Justice Harry Blackmun's majority opinion. At times it is sick and twisted but, in the end, the court surprisingly leaves the door wide open for state regulation of abortion.
Besides leading to the death of tens of millions of innocent lives, this opinion demonstrates just how far activist judges will go in pursuit of their policy preferences. I demonstrate this by dismantling their three primary citations - the right to privacy, the Ninth and the Fourteenth Amendment.

Ep. 3 - The Truth About the Constitution - Where in the Constitution

In America we are living through a perpetual constitutional crisis. The heavy restrictions placed on the federal government by the United States Constitution have been largely ignored for most of the country's history. We have experienced both small and incremental steps in the power and growth of the federal government (federal agencies, bureaucracies and regulations) as well as large and unprecedented leaps (the Alien and Sedition Acts, the internment of Japanese, The Patriot Act, and NSA spying).
In this episode I hope to influence the way you look at the federal government going forward - through the eyes of the Founding Fathers.
As mentioned in previous episodes, questions are powerful methods of persuasion especially when you require skeptics to answer them. In Episode 2, I posed the question "WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?" Today I will pose the question, "WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION?" This is a question I hope you ask every time you evaluate the actions of our elected and unelected officials in Washington, D.C.
