Ep. 310 – A Modern-Day Conversation with the Founding Fathers

Imagine having a conversation today with some of the Founding Fathers. How do you think they would react to the current state of the federal government?
In this episode, I attempt to examine this sleazy, corrupt, behemoth institution through the eyes of Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

Ep. 236 - The Truth About the 5,000-Year Leap

In this episode, we summarize Cleon Skousen’s book, The 5,000-Year Leap, 28 Ideas That Changed the World.
Coming off the heels of the previous episode, where I outlined how the communist agenda for America has all but come true, I needed a little pick-me-up. I needed to be reminded of the gift the founding generation gave the world. 
Stick around to the end of the episode where I offer a solution on how to save America from itself.

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. 128 - The Truth About Opposition to Secession

Rush Limbaugh recently uttered the “S” word on his program. . . SECESSION! The usual suspects in the alphabet soup, mainstream, corporate press lost their collective minds. Most of the opposition to secession is born out of ignorance. They called the idea nonsense, dangerous, treasonous, unconstitutional, un-American and racist.
What is really behind the opposition to secession? How are these talking heads and columnists impacted in the slightest if a state leaves the union? Why do they care? Why put up such a fight?
In this episode I uncover the real reasons behind opposition to secession, all of which should lead you to support the idea 100%.

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. 105 - The Truth About June 2020

June 2020 was another eventful month most notably because the radical left-wing and fascists jumped the shark by utilizing the claim of systemic racism to, not only attempt to unseat President Trump, but to essentially tear down America as we know it.
Out with reason, conversations and debate! In with virtue signaling, wokeness and censoring anyone who dares to have an opinion outside the 3x5 card of allowable opinion!

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. 88 - The Truth About Secession - Part II

In Episode #87, I introduced you to the concept of secession. We reviewed current and past secession movements and offered three reasons it is necessary AND good - decentralization, self-determination and competition. In this episode, I discuss the fourth reason secession is desirable - the idea that smaller is better. After that, we will discuss how secession is justified and dispel the most common objections to the concept of secession.
