Ep. 288 - The Truth About Never Letting a Crisis Go to Waste

Government power and control can be explained in the form of an equation. It is negatively correlated with our level of liberty and freedom. The only way government acquires it is by taking it from us.
Unfortunately for government, in America, the default position (of the majority) is maximum liberty and freedom. In order to grow their power and control, they must steal our liberty and freedom or we sheepishly surrender it to them.
So called crises (both real and manufactured) are used as opportunities for government to extract our liberty and freedom.

Ep. 287 - The Truth About the Democrat’s Battle with Reality

Have you noticed that virtually every policy prescription proposed by the national Democrats conflicts with reality? The reality of human nature, economics, natural law, common decency, God-given rights and the United States Constitution.
Their policies invariably lead to injury of their constituents: physical injury, economic injury or they are the victim of a dreadful education or inadequate healthcare system both courtesy of government.

Ep. 167 - The Truth About Ivermectin

When you hear the word, Ivermectin, what do you think?
Let me guess: a horse drug or animal dewormer? Something idiots take because they wrongly think it is a cure for Covid-19? Most of them end up having to call poison control or they end up in the Emergency Room taking up beds that could be used for the people who really need them!

Ep. 120 - The Truth About the Tenth Amendment

In this episode we examine the American experiment through the lens of the Tenth Amendment which Thomas Jefferson called the foundation of the Constitution.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
That means, the federal government is only authorized to do those few things that have been delegated to it. It is my contention that, if the federal government was still in its tiny, little sandbox created for it by the Constitution, this country would thrive. Unfortunately the federal leviathan has not only outgrown its sandbox but has taken over the entire yard, neighborhood, state, country!
The consequences of the overreach are largely unseen yet substantial. The corruption, the failure of one-size-fits-all policies, the influence peddling - all of it acts as a restraint on the American system of free markets, entrepreneurism, freedom and liberty. Instead we allow a handful of powerful people in D.C. and the media to divide us into a series of special interest groups who fight and bicker with each other. All the while the leviathan continues to grow and grow and grow with the only end in sight being the collapse of the U.S. dollar and the U.S. economy, which come to think of it, might have been the plan all along.

Ep. 95 - The Truth About the Coronavirus Crisis: Lessons Learned - Part II

In the last episode, we covered some of the lighter side issues like the importance of slowing down, enjoying our families, nature and the simple things in life. We also discussed the impact the crisis will have on future attendance at traditional four-year colleges and the continued failings of socialized medical systems.
Today we are going to look at this topic more from a public policy and economics’ perspective. We examine why the United States' federal government and all centralized political bodies are too big to succeed. In the shadow of the Coronavirus crisis, we look at the dramatic need for deregulation at all levels of government.
We end the episode with an examination of the crisis from a constitutional and economic angle: fiat currency, the importance of savings, and the stock market bubble pricked by the Coronavirus.
