The Alan Sanders Show

Today’s show opens with me acting as if I were given the chance to sit in a room with Donald Trump and give him advice for tonight’s CNN debate. The most important thing has to be that he needs to address the American people the entire time. He cannot get dragged into personal attacks and insults. As we move into other news items, I discuss AG Andrew Bailey from Missouri who said the SCOTUS decision to not rule on his First Amendment case simply means he will go through more discovery and vows to be back with even more evidence. On a positive SCOTUS note, they just ruled Biden’s EPA...

Alleigh Marré was a special assistant and Chief of Staff to the 24th Secretary of the Air Force. Prior, Marré served as the National Spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services. She also served as a communications advisor with the Presidential Transition team managing the public relations effort for the...

The Alan Sanders Show

On today’s show we open with a just released report from the House Committee on the Weaponization of Government, showing the 51 “spies who lied” about the Hunter Biden laptop knew they were lying and knew they were colluding with the Biden campaign. In fact, there were active CIA contractors who were part of the plan to pull off the PsyOp attack on the American electorate. Squad member Jamaal Bowman, who thinks fire alarms open locked doors, was just crushed in a democrat primary in New York State. He lost to democrat centrist George Latimer, who was much friendlier toward Israel than...

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...

The Alan Sanders Show

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...

The Alan Sanders Show

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...

The Alan Sanders Show

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...

Dems are okay sacrificing Americans to stay in power, plus more lawfare, faux deep fakes and why Trump continues to win show art Dems are okay sacrificing Americans to stay in power, plus more lawfare, faux deep fakes and why Trump continues to win

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...

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?
