On today’s show, we open with something to help more easily recognize how bad inflation still is for the average American. We look at the typical food prices from 2020 versus 2024. Most are paying around 46% more for food than they were four years ago. Yet, Joe Biden has twice lied about the inflation rate being at 9% when he took office. WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to explain it away, but the internet has a long memory. Seems the reason we lost Niger is due to Biden’s Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Molly Phee. The Nigerian Prime Minister said she threatened them...

On today’s show, I open with a personal story that just happened to me today. My love and support of the US Constitution was questioned and then I was called a fraud and a con-artist. So, after putting the bit of nonsense to bed, we dive into my stack of stuff. Citizen journalist Toria Brooke released a story where she transcribes an interview with former People’s Deputy of Ukraine, Andrii Derkach, where he says they have proof that Biden family member affiliates are complicit in blowing up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and funding other terrorist activities. To remind you of what I said...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, I use the testimony of Michael Cohen to illustrate a premise I believe is in full-swing here in the United States (and maybe much of the Western world). I titled the episode, “Getting a liar to lie may not be a winning strategy; or, How the Elite live in their groupthink of self-delusion.” Every story I have today falls within that paradigm of lying, ignoring new information, parroting state approved talking points and never thinking critically. Whether it’s Michael Cohen testifying about how much he lies, to Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) admitting he was instrumental in...

On today’s show, we open with the UN revising the numbers downward by nearly 50% for Palestinians killed in their war with Israel. We then move to a reminder that Ashley Biden’s therapy journal was real and she was 37 years old when she wrote about taking showers with her dad. Today we read the letter she (or her legal team) wrote to try to paint the person who found it as a criminal, while Ashley gets to play the role of victim. We then turn to DA Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump with is star witness, habitual perjurer and criminals felon, disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen. No media...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, we open as we do every Friday, with the Tara Bull’s Top 10 News items the Legacy/mainstream media likely didn’t talk much about this past week. It’s always fun to dive into that list! Next we do a little more analysis on the Stormy Daniels testimony given yesterday in the Alvin Bragg case. So far, regardless of political leaning, everyone thinks it was a travesty and served no other purpose but to prejudice the jury. This includes analysis from former US District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin and Legal Correspondent Gregg Jarrett. We did get one positive out of the...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, we examine the latest pro-Hamas/anti-Israel move from Quid pro Joe. It seems if the PM of Israel does not do what Biden wants him to, then Biden will not deliver the promised weapons that Congress has already approved. Where have we heard this same scenario before? Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) weighs in, along with David Axelrod and CNN’s Scott Jennings. I also remind you this isn’t the first time Biden has dissed our ally when he threatened to withhold funding from then PM Menachem Begin. Then we dive into an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett. It’s a really sad...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, we spend time reviewing the Alvin Bragg case against Donald Trump and the dumpster fire testimony that was Stormy Daniels. The testimony was so bad, even biased Judge Merchan told the jury to discount most of it. You know it’s bad when Jonathan Turley, Alan Dershowitz and CNN all agree it is a nightmare for the prosecution. Things are not looking good for Special Counsel Jack Smith. After all the revelations from the last week or two, Judge Aileen Canon has vacated the May 20 start date for the documents trial and has pushed it back indefinitely. Instead, she is going to...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, I spend some time on what I think is the most insidious type of bigotry, and that is the bigotry of low expectations. This relates to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) statement that young, black children in the Bronx don’t even know what the word “computer” is. This leads to John Kirby saying we sometimes have to negotiate with terrorists. He said this knowing Hamas changed some of the language in the negotiated ceasefire, making it obvious they don’t have any living hostages anymore. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez managed to step in it twice in the last couple days....

On today’s show, I have to open with a topic we covered around two years ago with the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Thanks to unredacted documents released by Judge Aileen Canon, many outlets are catching up to where we have been in this audience for a long time now. But, for the newer listeners, we go through the cover-up and setup that was the Mar-a-Lago documents raid. Karma is wonderful when we see it work in real-time. New York State Senator Kevin Parker, who supported and voted for the “Adult Survivors Act”, which allowed lunatic E. Jean Carroll to sue Trump over accusations of assault,...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, we start off Friday as we usually do, by going through Tara Bull’s Top 10 Headlines the media (likely) didn’t tell you this week. It’s a great way to hit several topics in rapid fire. There is a new bill that has been quietly pushed into committee called The Courage to Serve Act. This bill would provide illegals who choose to serve in the military, an automatic pathway to amnesty and full citizenship. The “hush money” case in NYC is becoming more of a salacious tabloid exercise rather than trying to prove any criminality. In fact, we have yet to hear a single...

In today's episode, I do my best to tackle the notions of social media being solely a private enterprise. This is often the only argument offered as to why it's okay for "Big Tech" to deplatorm voices they don't like. It's one thing if these supposedly private companies want to alienate a portion of it's customers. But, when they do so at the behest of government, we are now treading some murky waters. We are going to have to recognize social media is promoted as a platform for expressing oneself to an audience.

No one makes you follow, like or share anyone else's post. You are free to move along and find your entertainment or information elsewhere. Social media is today's digital town square and the First Amendment was designed to keep you safe in that setting. If these companies had remained politically neutral, they could argue they are not subject to the First Amendment. But, when they choose to act, think and align politically with one party over another, we now have infringement of speech via a sanctioned third party. In effect, government is using the private sector argument to shield itself, while demanding the silencing of people and ideas they do not like.

They are trying to change the rules, or, at the very least, circumnavigate the rules, to get what they want. To make that point, I remind everyone what Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, said in 2005 when in the minority. At that time, there was discussion over removing the filibuster to aid a Republican majority. Senator Schumer was vehemently against changing the rules to impose the will of the majority party. He called it akin to a dictatorship and the doomsday for democracy.

Isn't it funny how they want to keep changing the rules when it works in their favor? Much like using a third party to limit public dissent when they are not getting their way?
