The Alan Sanders Show

Our Friday show opens as we usually do, with a nod to Tara Bull’s Top 10 news items the State-run media either didn’t tell you about this week, or didn’t give you the full story if they did. It’s a great way to run through several news stories in rapid-fire succession. We then move to an interesting exchange between Inspector General Michael Horowitz and Senator Thomas Massie (R-KY). While he was trying to be coy because the report on J6 is not yet ready for publication, Horowitz all but confirmed there were agents/CHS’s in the J6 crowd and that they also went into Capitol. While we...

The Alan Sanders Show

Today we get back to a more typical show, opening with something I brought to you on Monday of this week, but it seems to have taken everyone else some time to catch up. Donald Trump sent out a message about the transcripts proving he ordered troops for safety and security and his orders were not followed on January 6, 2021. We follow that with a shocking drop in the Consumer Confidence Index. It seems many Americans and growing more pessimistic about the economy by the day. The Daily Mail tried to find evidence of Kamala Harris working hard on the committees she was appointed to by...

The Alan Sanders Show

Today is a different kind of episode. Every now and then there are specific topics I want to discuss that may not be directly related to the realm of politics. Now, there is a political component to this topic, given that politicians are at the root of the funding and staffing of the agencies that are meant to protect the health of Americans. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) and RFK, Jr. held a roundtable discussion in Washington, D.C. to discuss Metabolic Dysfunction and the many chronic diseases it causes. So much of our physical and mental health can be traced back to the food and drug industry....

The Alan Sanders Show

Today’s show opens with a discussion on how this election cycle really isn’t about Left versus Right or Democrat versus Republican. We are truly at a point where it’s about freedom and liberty versus control and tyranny. I am not trying to exaggerate. It’s as stark as that. Then I move into more information the FBI has released about the arrest of Ryan Routh. On top of that, former AG Bill Barr was just as shocked as I was yesterday to see the FBI releasing the letter that basically calls for the next unhinged lunatic to take a crack at trying to eliminate Donald Trump. AOC proves my...

The Alan Sanders Show

Today’s show opens with me taking some time to discuss a few items from a much higher level. Sometimes we can get so caught in the weeds of the day-to-day news cycle, that we forget to see the forest for the trees. So, in the first half, I discuss a concert, the government seeming to always have good intentions, the Cobra effect and the homeless problem in California. We then dive into the news stack and I have more about the P. Diddy case. We also discuss a “care package” that the 2nd would-be assassin left with “some citizen.” In that package was a letter suggesting that if you are...

The Alan Sanders Show

Today’s show opens with our weekly nod to Tara Bull’s Top 10 news stories the Legacy/mainstream media likely did not tell you about this week or did not cover properly. It’s always fun to run through the list and comment on those news items in rapid-fire style. I decided to open with a sound bit from David Sacks, discussing the moment he realized the media wasn’t just biased, they were nothing but tools of propaganda. He came to that realization during Covid and he continue to warn others about the dangers of believing stories from the worst spreaders of disinformation. Next, I want to...

Today’s show opens with testimony given by Aaron Heitke, Former Chief Patrol Agent, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol that they were supposed to hide numbers of known terrorists crossing the border. Additionally, he states they were asked to re-prioritize resources away from drug detection to help process more people via detention centers. In another undercover operation, Dr. Jay Varma, Former Senior Advisor for Public Health NYC Mayor’s Office, 2020-21, is caught talking about attending sex and drug parties in the midst of the mandatory lockdowns he convinced the mayor to implement. The FCC...

Today’s show opens with round two of personal electronic devices being used by terrorists suddenly going BOOM! This time, it seems the vast majority were walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah. What a shame that now these terrorists are living scared over whether or not their other electronic devices might be the next to explode. I then take a short trip down a side road to discuss a pilot program I was part of here in Georgia. The story relates to advice I give to new parents wherever I have a chance to speak to them. There is a massive difference in creating a mentally healthy child between...

Today’s show opens on the very start of Constitution Week here in the United States. I talk about that sacred document a lot and love the fact we have a full week set aside in this country to put a spotlight on the genius of our Founding Fathers. We then move to almost 2,800 Hezbollah members who all has their pagers become small bombs on their person today, all at the same time. Like something out of a movie, it was a brilliant way to attack terrorists with little to no collateral damage around them. Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) suggests Donald Trump add a second layer of security from private...

The Alan Sanders Show

Today’s show opens on the heels of another assassination attempt made on Donald Trump. Once again there are some serious questions to be answered and some striking similarities to the first attempt. One big difference, though, is we have the suspect alive and in custody. Did the ABC whistleblower affidavit drop or are we getting a well-played ruse? Either way, it’s part of the news cycle and worthy of some discussion. Plus, at the very same time, debate moderator Linsey Davis admitted to the LA Times that they were bound and determined to real-time fact check Donald Trump while never once...

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?
