The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s special bonus episode, we sit down for a few minutes with Daniel Cameron, the former Attorney General for the state of Kentucky and the current CEO of the 1792 Exchange. During the Road to Majority Conference held in Washington, D.C., put on by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Daniel was a keynote speaker for an evening dinner. I wanted to get him to recap his career and his run for Governor for the state of Kentucky and what were the lessons he learned during COVID-19. Daniel Cameron has been a supporter of life, liberty and freedom and pushed that for his state against a...

On today’s show we open with diving more deeply into why Snopes decided to fact-check the “very fine people” quote from seven years ago. This leads to a discussion of Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, including a montage of stories and story lines from the last 7-8 years. Jake Tapper not only pushed the “very fine people hoax,” but also pushed the original Steele Dossier/Russia Collusion hoax. And they were all in on it, or were too dumb not to know they were being dutiful stooges for the Left and the intelligence community. Remember the 51 spies who lied? Well, Jeremy Bash was one of those...

On today's special episode, I had a chance to sit down with Father Frank Pavone who was attending the Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C., put on by the Faith and Family Coalition. We started off with a short recap of how he entered the priesthood and how he rapidly found himself drawn to the pro-life movement. Over the last few decades, his ministry has been about informing and educating parishioners and non-parishioners alike about what really happens during the process of terminating an unborn child and the long-lasting ramifications for the mother, physically, mentally and...

On today’s show, I open with a short recap of my time at the Road to the Majority Conference that was put on in Washington, D.C., put on by the Faith and Freedom Coalition. Each day for the next 13 weekdays, I will drop a special bonus episode of my interviews with many of the guests who spoke at the conference. So, depending on how you get my daily show, make sure to watch for the BONUS episodes each weekday. Then, because I did not have a show on Thursday or Friday, I open with Tara Bull’s Top 10 News items the Legacy/mainstream media likely didn’t talk about last week. It’s always...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, I open with more polling data that has CNN beside themselves over how much of the Democrat base has shifted toward Trump. Just like with Reagan Democrats, I think we are going to have Trump Democrats and I believe a big piece of that is the tone of messaging from Trump versus Biden. I did want to remind you about what one of the whistleblowers said about the “deeply flawed” investigation the Department of Defense conducted around the failures of the National Guard being deployed on January 6, 2021. It’s important to remember just how insidious elements of our...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show, I open with more proof that the Democrat strategists behind the scenes have decided an acceptable number of Americans are going to be maimed, injured, victimized or killed in order to allow for a new, permanent underclass of voters. The illegal invasion continues to prove that with more innocent deaths, most of them violent and horrific, at the hands of repeat offenders and repeat border-crossers. The other lie they hope you believe is that their use of “lawfare” is only meant for Donald Trump. Even if that was their only intended victim, it is still wrong and...

On today’s show we open with Tara Bull’s Top 10 News items the Legacy/mainstream media likely didn’t tell you about this week. We usually drop that on Friday, but her list didn’t come out until late afternoon, so I put in Monday’s show. Janet Yellen found herself once again having to admit prices are high, but we are told the Biden Administration is ready to do something about it. Well, they have already had 3 ½ years. It’s a little late to pretend to care now. I do play a soundbite from around four years ago. The Morning Joe mocked and scolded anyone who believed the Hunter Biden...

On today’s show we open with a campaign spokeswoman for Biden saying the video and commentary of how he’s walking around and talking is all disinformation from MAGA people. In other words, we are not supposed to see just how lost, frail, slow and addled our President is at the G7 meeting. They want you to believe the footage is somehow doctored? Who was it that leaned in and put his forehead against the forehead of the Pope? I want to cover some of the discussion that was had in the House Weaponization Committee regarding the Alvin Bragg hush money case against Donald Trump. We get word...

On today’s show we open with Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen lying to the American people. But, when pressed about the state of the economy admits how bad things really are. President Biden is in Italy at the G7 summit and while there, made a creepy-laugh statement in praise of Larry Fink of Blackrock and the CEO of Microsoft and their globalist agenda. At the same time while there, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Biden was going to sign a 10 year support deal with Ukraine. While we have the most fiscally irresponsible people in government spending money like water, they let...

On today’s show we open with the latest inflation numbers. While the Biden regime is wanting to take a victory lap for a CPI that didn’t go up (or down), the number still represents a sharp increase from four years ago. In fact, if you are not making at least $12,000 more a year than what you were making four years ago, then you are not even breaking even. Speaking of breaking, it seems the news from last night is 8 members of ISIS-K were arrested across three cities here in the United States. All of them came across our southern border. In fact, the rise of people on the known terrorist...

More Episodes

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?
