Episode 342- Big Beautiful Mixed Bag

Episode 342- Big Beautiful Mixed Bag
- Our former president, Joe Biden, has had more and more questions rising to the surface about his use of the autopen during his term. He supposedly authorized hundreds of pardons, but they were all signed with the autopen. Did President Biden even authorize these pardons? We may never know. Congress is trying to gather more information about his medical state and his Doctor stonewalled the committee. We can't get any answers on anything. This is what leads to conspiracy theories. We can see that nothing is adding up and everyone acts as though we're the crazy ones. Enough already. The Big Beautiful Bill has finally passed. There were plenty of necessary things that had to get done. The Trump tax cuts were made permanent. The border got some much-needed help to become even more solid, despite already record low immigration numbers. They passed the no tax on tips, overtime, social security, and car loans. The bill does not sunset the provisions of the Green New Deal fast enough. It raises the debt ceiling and proposes new spending without cuts to offset it. The DOGE cuts were close on the heels, but thankfully have passed in the wake of the BBB. The Genius Act is also right on the heels of the BBB, creating a stable coin (a crypto currency that is linked to our dollar). We have to make sure that the Fed isn't able to program the currency to manage the economy and our ability to buy and sell.

Episode 341- Well, That Aged Quickly
- It's been a wild news cycle. Look at what has happened here in Minnesota with the shooting of Rep Melissa Hortman, Senator John Hoffman and their spouses. The level of angst and violence is out of control. It's got to stop. Our condolences go out to the Hoffmans and the familiy of the Hortmans. The mob mentality is reaching dangerous levels and it's hitting too close to home. We still don't know much about the criminal. We still don't understand how this isn't murder one with all of the planning that went into it? Let's speak up and stop the violence. As we remark in the podcast, the Israel/Iran situation escalated really quickly. We know what happened already, but we give our thoughts leading up to the (spoiler alert) eventual bombing of Iran by the United States. What is the thinking behind the attacks? Why are so many conservatives breaking left on supporting Israel? What will happen in the aftermath of all of this chaos? Also, we see the left (again) raising up all of their well-funded, astroturf riots with cars burning in Los Angeles and the "No Kings" protests across the nations. How can we say they are astroturf? Because there is a money trail coming from D.C., our states, and our cities to non-profit groups like CHIRLA (who are at the head of the LA riots) to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars ($450 million just from the Dept of Homeland Security). This is frightening, because we're funding color revolutions that are designed to overthrow the entire western way of life. You'd better get on top of this now.

Episode 340- A Dangerous Trend
- Karine Jean Pierre, Joe Biden's former Press Secretary, just left the Democrat Party. Is this a change of heart? Nope. She just wanted to come to the aid of her former boss and name names in her new book. The media and everyone else turned a blind eye as she lied and gave one poor answer after another. Now they are coming for her. There's been little to no self reflection on the left side of the aisle. Where can they go from here. The House passed the Big, Beautiful Bill, and it's laying with the Senate. It's not a great bill, but is it an ok first step? There are some Republicans in the Senate that refuse to back it, so will it pass? The Trump tax cuts are in it, but there's not a lot of spending cuts. Some of the DOGE cuts are in it, but not all of them. There's some Green New Deal cuts, but not a lot. Whay aren't Trump's Executive Orders, like abolishing the Dept of Education being codified into law? Instead, we're looking at raising the debt ceiling which is dangerous in our current economic situation. Who is going to buy our debt if we keep taking on more? We have one shot and had better do the right thing to get the economy moving. We are also watching a rise in antisemitism once again. The old hatreds are coming back as students are raging on campuses. We are see violence being accepted as Jews are being shot and fire-bombed in the street. There is so much ignorance and it seems to fuel the aggression against Jewish people. Hamas steals the aid that comes into Gaza, so that they can sell the food on the black market to buy weapons and dig tunnels. Yet, Israel gets all of the blame for the people having nothing. Why does this keep coming back? Why are the Jews always the target of hate? We delve into history looking for answers so that maybe we can begin to discuss some answers.

Episode 339- Finally: The Truth
-The news is starting to come out about how ill Joe Biden was as president. The whole world could see it, even though the media was denying it. Jake Tapper might have released a book now, but where was he while Biden was still in office? We just found out that Joe Biden has prostate cancer and that it has metastacized to the bone. With as bad as it's been, he most likely had cancer for quite a while. So this begs the question: what did the people around him know and when did he know it? This isn't the first time that this has happened. Just like Jill Biden, Edith Wilson and Eleanor Roosevelt kept their husbands' medical states hidden from Congress... and America. So who was more at fault- the First Lady, his advisors, or was everyone so busy trying to stay in power that they all hid the truth from us? No one is supposed to wield the President's power except the President of the United States. Who was running our country? We need answers and people need to go to prison. Use the 25th Amendment, if it's warranted, but you can't hide behind a weakened president and use the power for yourself.

Episode 338- Get It Done Already
- For the most part, our local media is just the worst. Our illustrious governor has been touting our increased graduation rates in the state of Minnesota and our media outlets have been singing his praises as though he is the second coming of Woodrow Wilson. The problem? They haven't done one ounce of research to find out why more people are graduating. It doesn't take much effort to find out that the graduation standards have been lowered. All it takes is a little slight of hand to fool everyone into applauding for a complete illusion. President Trump has has an historic first 100 days. The Republicans hold the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. They should just have to come in after President Trump and codify his Executive Orders into law. They have passed two things in 100 days, the Laken Riley Act and the continuing resolution. Where is Congress? They have promised President Trump a big, beautiful bill and it's still stuck in Congress. This bill won't even address Trump's "no taxes on tips" and "no taxes on overtime" campaign promises. There are a couple of bills floating around about the Gulf of America and repealing the Patriot Act, but will they ever get through committee?

Episode 337- Changing Of The Guard
- Joe Biden has recently emerged from the shadows to start his public speaking circuit, but it's as apparent as ever that he is not there. He is clearly struggling with dementia or Alzheimer's and Jill is still trotting him out instead of protecting him, all for $300,00. It's a shame and should be viewed as elderly abuse. It's time she love Joe enough to protect him. AOC and Bernie have been traipsing across the country on their "Fight Oligarchy" tour. The Democrat party is in real trouble because they really have no one that is ready to rise up and take the mantle of the party. There's a good chance it goes even further left and isolates independents and moderate Dems. Is there any question that the traditional, mainstream media is dead? We know that they consistently side with Democrats, but they leave out stories that are complimentary of President Trump and make sure to report anything that can hurt him, whether true or not. They side with illegal immigrants, to the point of wanting violent gang members and criminals to be returned to the United States. They are silent on Laken Riley and others that are killed in our streets. Journalists herald the sainthood of every trans person as actual women are being injured and dominated by male athletes that can't make it in the world of men's sports. They aren't covering the slowing in the inflation rate with drops in the price of gas, eggs, and other necessities. CNN has went from respected to a laughing stock. MSNBC is ignored by everyone, except for far leftists. Sometimes the headlines are indistinguishable from the Babylon Bee. It's just a matter of time, but without a major course correction, the media has written its own obituary, and might as well save us the public display and go fade away into the night. The age of citizen journalism is here.

Episode 336- Keep It In The Red
- It was a big week as we lost George Foreman, Kitty Dukakis, and Val Kilmer. The former and the latter gave us so much in the realm of entertainment and it's sad to see them go. President Trump has been lighting it up this week. He enacted the tariffs, had the stock market tank, over 75 nations rushed to negotiate, and the tariffs are on a 90 day pause. China is now in the spotlight as it is trying to fight back, but doesn't have the financial strength to hold out. We'll see how long it lasts. Tim Walz took our $18 billion surplus to a projected $6 billion deficit. That is some of the worst financial mismanagement ever. Not one to learn a lesson, Walz just released his budget, and boy, is it a doozy. He also wants to expand the sales tax to some services that currently don't have one (like having your taxes done). He also wants to increase a healthcare surcharge on HMOs. There is also an anti-fraud provision included. In an effort to "fully fund education" he's cutting funding of some things, like text books, to non-public schools. He's not willing to cut the tax for our seniors on social security. We're one of a handful of states that still do that. Despite the cost for Southwest Rail doubling, it's still full steam ahead. These omnibus bills need to be done. Why won't the Republicans stand up and stop all of this spending? MN statutes say that bills should be single-issue, but they don't write them that way and the courts won't uphold the law.

Episode 335- Courting Bad Precedent
- President Trump is finally releasing the JFK files to the world, but we still know nothing about Thomas Matthew Crooks. There was a recent article that hints that FBI is reporting that he may have had an accomplice. The article asserts that there could have been a man on the inside to help Crooks, purposefully reducing President Trump's security, or that the whole thing was a government op. Our election would have been thrown into chaos, had things worked out differently. Lawfare against President Trump isn't anything new, but the left is doubling down on this tactic to stop the Trump agenda. There are currently over 130 cases that have been filed, and some injunctions from district federal judges (as if they had jurisdiction). Temporary Protective Status (TPS) was granted to Haitians and Venezuelans to stay in our country for a specific time. The Trump administration is trying to revoke the TPS of these groups, after the former head of the NSA, Alexander Mayorkas, extending the policy. The courts are trying to say that the Kristi Noem and the new administration does not have the right to govern the way they wish. The AFL/CIO sued the Trump administration to stop the voluntary buyouts of federal employees. Judge George O'Toole sided with the Trump administration, but only because they were not union employees, so they had no standing. This will allow for other lawsuits to be filed. There were cases to allow a biological female, who identified as a man, to go to a male prison and to keep transgender soldiers in the military. The Dems are trying to keep criminals that are here illegally from going to Guantanamo Bay or to the new maximum-security prison in El Salvador. There is also a challenge to birthright citizenship, due to the meaning of the 14th amendment. President Trump also signed an Executive Order that aims to clean up federal elections, including a provision that requires Voter ID and the left is beside itself, filing court cases faster than a rabbit in fox country. How will all of this work out? Who will emerge victorious? Will congress ever come and make President Trump's changes permanent in law? Where are they already? Let us know how you feel about all this lawfare!

Episode 334- Stalemate
- When Biden was president, the press used to complain that they didn't have any access to the leader of the free world. You'd think that they'd celebrate the openness and transparency of Trump's administration, where he and his various secretaries seem to live in front of the camera. Yet, all they do is lie, cheat, and complain. The recent clean, continuing resolution to fund the government has passed through congress and been signed by the President. Why was it so hard to get it done? Why were the Democrats so bent on shutting down the government? They have blamed the Republicans on every past threat of a shutdown, but were trying to blame this shutdown on the GOP as well... even though they were the ones pushing the bill to keep it open. The House of Representative (until now) has been 67 Republicans to 66 Democrats. The Republicans have submitted a number of bills to the House, and have had a majority, but due to MN law, they need 68 votes no matter what, which is more than a simple majority. The Democrats are beholden to their Queer Caucus. If it doesn't further the goals of this group, per Leigh Finke and Brion Curran, then the DFL is too scared to move forward. Despite its popularity, not one Dem voted to disallow men in women's sports. The DFL is the party of men dominating women. HF3 and HF23 are anti-fraud bills. One passed that allowed for greater audit capacity, which failed, and greater protection for whistleblowers, which passed. The bi-annual budget will be a big one to get passed. Who will blink first and give up something big to get the budget through the objections of the other party. It's not looking good for anything to get done this session and that's okay with us. Let us know what you think!

Episode 333- Passing The Torch
- Minnesota is abuzz with the news that Senator Tina Smith will not run for re-election. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan jumped into the race almost immediately. Tim Walz toyed with the idea, but decided against it. There may be some other Democrats that are itching to jump in, but we'll see if any of them are willing to challenge her. We discuss some names that we think are eyeing the opportunity. Democrats are in trouble. They held the levers of power enough that they went too far and upset the electorate. Everything swung wildly in the other direction and the Trump administration is moving at breakneck speed to uphold its promises. It's not just Democrats in the political wilderness. Neocons like Liz Cheney, John Bolton... where do they go? They don't seem to quite fit the Democrats, but they are no longer a fit in the Republican party. All sorts of unlikely people have flocked to Trump's Republican party, and it's gaining steam across the nation. Are these permanent gains or just a Trump wave? Dems are married to men in women's sports and the Teacher's Unions. They keep going down. Prior shakeups like this have lasted for decades. President Trump has been putting Vice President Vance into situations to set him up to succeed and build a political resume going into 2028.

Episode 332- You've Been DOGE'd
- President Trump has a mandate and is racing out of the gates to implement the agenda that people elected him for. The Democrats are crying foul from the mountain tops, but it's really their only play. They are protesting in front of federal buildings and in the streets. Meanwhile, President Trump and DOGE have skyrocketing poll numbers. Senator Tina Smith is choosing not to run for reelection, so candidates are starting to line up, including our Lieutenant Governor, Peggy Flannagan. We'll see who jumps in from each party. It's sure to be a wild one. If the Republicans win they have to go right to work on fixing our voter laws. Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr finally made it through the confirmation process. The Dem's have done everything they can to keep them from going through, but to no avail. Kash Patel is coming through soon. Henceforth all of the leftist demonstrations. Nothing else is working, so they turn to creating chaos. There has been a lot of talk for a long time to get rid of the Department of Education. DOGE has recommended it and President Trump is seriously considering it. There's a whole bunch of funding already dedicated, so what do we do with it? How do we unravel all of the mandates and the funding? USAID was the first victim. The amount of fraud and waste in these departments is monumental and the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the left is in full derangement mode. Why do they want to justify fleecing us? We take a stab at pegging a few more departments to get DOGE'd.

Episode 331- The Bottom Of The Curve
- It's that time where one party's nominations go in front of the Senate, and the other party grandstands without any honesty or self-reflection. The Dems have decided that they are going to obstruct and filibuster every single nominee that comes through committee. There are open spots, and in some cases, they create a national security risk. Instead, the head Democrat stands there with an avocado and makes us confused. John Augustine of the Legislative Evaluation Assembly returns to the podcast to tell us all about the last legislative session. It was as terrible as terrible can be, but John goes through all of the carnage with us. There were multiple issues in the last session: The Dems rolled right over the Republicans, sometimes not even allowing them to debate a bill (with only a one vote majority). They also (and Republicans do this too) shove as much legislation as they can into one, bloated bill. This is in violation of the MN constitution, but they do it anyway. Governor Walz has been in office for six years and has vetoed one bill. There have been some awful bills passed. Look at the MN Voters' Rights BIll that gave protected classes the right to seek legal remedies if they feel that election outcomes are disproportionate. They can even go as far as to throw out redistricting changes. The Educational Supplemental bill pushed anti-bullying (which means it's ok to bully perceived the oppressor class), didn't allow for conscientious objectors of vaccines, and the awful, new, woke Social Studies standards. They tried to keep religious exemptions out of the Human Rights Act. There were also some clear constitutional violations, but the MN Supreme Court seemed to take up sides with the Dems as we watched the DFL run a candidate that didn't live in his district and poll workers threw out 20 ballots in another Senate District. What's going on in this state. This podcast is Exhibit A as to why we need to turn over the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches here in Minnesota.

Episode 330- Great Things Are Afoot
The DFL is still not showing up to the MN Legislature. They violated the MN constitution. They broke MN statutes. Not only are they not legally sworn in, but they continue to refuse to come to work. They MN Supreme Court disregarded the constitution and the law to side with the DFL. Secretary of State, Steve Simon, is also refusing to follow the law and go get the absent lawmakers upon request. The local media has been covering for them. Governor Walz has been silent (no surprise). Will the Republicans hold? We sure hope so. What's with all of the airplane crashes? Are they operator error or is air traffic control filled with DEI hires that are underqualified for the job? It's no secret that Mayor Pete was awful at his job and that the Department of Transportation is in shambles. We're not very far into the Trump administration, but the news is fast and furious. He has had four years to plan this moment and he is taking full advantage of the political winds being in his favor. He ended birthright citizenship, setting off a firestorm around the 14th amendment to the constitution. What does "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" mean? That is the argument that President Trump's position hangs on. Are children of non-citizens subject to the jurisdiction of the US or their parents' country of origin? This may end up at the Supreme Court. The president moved to drill like crazy and refill our strategic reserves. He removed all of the green energy mandates that had taken away the ability of oil to compete for a share of the market. Tom Homan was empowered to go get illegal alien criminals and deport them or send them to Guantanamo Bay. He went to work right away and began to round up criminals. We are on our way to making America great again, and I don't know if anyone can stop it.

Episode 329- Day One
- Just when you think that the Democrats can't go any lower... they go and do it. The DFL thought that it would be a good idea to break a bunch of state laws and hold the state hostage, all the while blaming the Republicans for their own bad behavior. We can't say we're surprised, but even this is new territory for them. They rented a room at the MN History Center, hired a retired judge, and took their oath of office a day early. No one knew about it, and only one photo was released. This violates the MN constitution, which dictates that legislators will be sworn in at noon of the first day the legislature convenes, each in their respective chambers. How is this allowed to stand? They broke the law. Then the Secretary of State, Steve Simon, came in to preside over the naming of a Speaker of the House... and illegally adjourned the meeting. There was a tentative power-sharing agreement between the Republicans and Democrats, until it came out that the DFL cheated by allowing a candidate to run that didn't live in his district. They got caught and now are crying and blaming the Republicans for a power grab, even though they are currently short 1 vote because of their cheating. We discuss who might run for governor in 2026, looking at the most prominent and likely candidates. As President Trump takes the oath of office, we review the things that he says that he's going to do. It is a long list, but that's what we can expect this time around. Things are going to move very fast. He's already got the executive orders written and ready to go. He's been working on this for four years, anticipating the moment he is able to put Biden's harmful policies to rest. He will rescind all of Biden's executive orders, close the border, and drill, baby, drill. He will pardon the January 6th people that weren't violent. He will remove many of Biden's Executive Branch regulations. He has every intention of moving quickly, so I believe that we'll see a lot of change very rapidly. What's on your bingo card?

Episode 328- Is The Press Really Free?
- What is going on with the DFL? They've done gone lost their minds. There are three different seats up for grabs. A State Senator in Minneapolis passed away, and there will be a special election for the seat. The primary is on January 14th, with the special election on January 28th. There was a one-day filing period. Most of the time, there's a couple of weeks. What's the rush? DFL candidate Curtis Johnson (40B - Roseville) won an election, and then was found to not meet the residency requirements. Curtis wasn't not allowed to hold the seat, giving the Republicans a 67-66 temporary edge. In the race down in Shakopee, DFL candidate, Brad Tabke won his race by 14 votes... except that there are 20 ballots missing. Of course the Democrats are all ok with these missing ballots and call any kind of a re-vote as election interference, although when the vote goes against them, every vote must be counted. It's hypocrisy at its worst. Speaking of "the worst", we have seen the mainstream media continue to lie about Donald Trump. George Stephanopolous and ABC settled with Donald Trump for falsely accusing him of being a "rapist" ten times. Did ABC punish old George? Of course not! The corporate bosses have a story to tell, and the truth can't get in the way. CBS has been under fire for cutting content out of an interview with Vice President and then-presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. CBS says that it was done for time, but they were caught posting two answers to the same question. So that caused many to believe that CBS was hiding something on her behalf. What is the solution to a mainstream media in the Democrat's pocket? Are their days of influence behind them? Let us know what you think!

Episode 327- We Survived This Lousy Experiment
- It's been another year, and boy, has it been a strange one. A president dropped out of the presidential race, replaced by someone that never one a single vote from Democratic delegates and alternates. Then the former president becomes the president-elect, not done since Grover Cleveland. Unfortunately, the DFL trifecta that has ruined Minnesota for the last two years has one last set of laws taking effect on January 1st, 2025 before the newly-elected Republican House has a chance to put a stop to the madness. The Taylor Swift Bill makes sure that all ticket fees are disclosed on the front end so that there are no surprises. They passed a bill requiring job listings to include salary, benefits, etc... is it a violation of private enterprise or not when it's on a private job listing service? They also infringed on the second amendment with their binary trigger ban. They also banned light bulbs that contain mercury (except where they want to allow them). Lastly there was a renter protection bill to allow tenants to associate against a property without retaliation from the landlord. The DOJ released the Herr Report, not exonerating Biden of wrongdoing, but just saying he was too old to be prosecuted. And he has remained our president? President Trump was shot and shot at on another occasion. We almost could have had a VP Tim Walz. That would have been disastrous. It was definitely weird. The face of the media has changed completely. Networks like CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS have all damaged their brand to a level that may never be repaired. Podcasters like Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk, and Theo Vonn have all changed the conversation so that no one needs the mainstream media. America used to lead the way in the Middle East. We don't necessarily agree with all of our foreign policy there, but the Biden administration completely destroyed the Abraham Accords, providing some peace in the area, and has straddled the fence between Hamas and our allies (Israel). We also carelessly crossed every one of Russia's red lines with Ukraine. Biden's policies have brought us to the doorstep of WWIII. We're glad 2024 is over. 2025 looks to be a wild ride as well, but we think that it's going to be a lot better for all of us.

Episode 326- Pardon Me
- The pardon is one of the most sweeping and king-like powers that our presidents posess. He just pardoned his son, Hunter, for not just crimes that he's been convicted of, but any crimes that they discover in the future over an eleven-year time period. Is that even legal? Unfortunately, it looks that way. The evidence is there from the laptop and corroborrating evidence that Hunter's influence peddling with Ukraine and China are even bigger potential charges than tax evasion and lying on a background check. All of that goes away with the waive of a hand. This is a constitutional power that the president has, and there are no checks on it. Alexander Hamilton wrote about it in Federalist Paper #74, reaffirming this power. Should there be checks on it? Rumors are floating that pardons are coming for the President's brother, Jim, Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and others... before there are even any charges, let alone a conviction. This doesn't seem like it should stand, but it will.

Episode 325- The Man With The Plan
- We haven't talked about an old friend of the show for a long time, but recent events necessitate the walk down memory lane. We have a long history with one, John Budziszewski (aka Johnny B). We've been immersed in the world of politics for a long time, so we know the laws pretty well. Because he recently crossed the line in professional decorum with us, we put out an independent expenditure piece regarding his race. All this went down pretty late in the race, and we weren't working in the city at all, but decided to put it out, because John has caused trouble on the council for a while, tried to get our friend Jeff Kolb tossed off the West Metro Fire Board for disagreeing with him, and then the issue at the recent council meeting. John decided to file a complaint against us based on zero evidence and with a complete lack of understanding of the law. The Fair Campaign Practices Act sets a $750 threshold of expenditures and allows for pamphleteering in a campaign. The Supreme Court said that freedom of political speech is a necessary protection against tyranny. But John digs tyranny and censorship, so he filed a complaint to try and censor us to cause a chilling effect. The honorable judge dismissed it within one day. Unfortunately for John, we're not afraid of him. The best disinfectant is sunlight. We will never be quiet. We will not be intimidated. If you do something wrong, we will let the world know about it. So we'll spill all of the dirt here. Also, President Trump has created a bunch of short videos that lay out his aggressive agenda, calling it Agenda 47. He's bringing in tough candidates to staff his administration; RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbart, Kash Patel, Elon Musk, Vivek, and others that will root out the deep state and restore our republic. We all know that he plans on closing the border, finishing the wall, and deporting a huge number of people that illegally crossed our border. That will be a huge part of his agenda. He wants to restore our place of energy independence, restoring fracking and drilling. He wants to kill the Green New Deal on day one. He wants to keep the US Dollar as the world reserve currency. Election integrity is on President Trump' short list as well. The president-elect wants to rebuild America's great cities into something we can be proud of again. In this episode, we talk a little education, a little energy, a little border, and lay out Angeda 47 so we can all follow along as President Trump implements his plan.

Episode 324- Lame Duck or Dumb Bunny?
- Well, the election is over and Democrats are freaking out. They don't seem to have any answers as to why they lost the election. Some of the top Dems are already starting to jockey for position. Gavin Newsome, Tim Walz, and Kamala Harris are already being floated for 2028. The Republicans have the trifecta of the House, Senate, and White House. Will they stay together through the process of confirming his cabinet and passing his agenda? Will Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins play nice or oppose Trump at every turn? They already tanked Matt Gaetz's nomination, and there's pressure to jettison Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Tulsi Gabbert. We have to start holding Republicans accountable that side with the Democrats. President Biden (in another move of brilliance) has approved the use of medium and long range missiles to be sent into Russia from Ukraine. This crosses a major red line of Russia's, with Putin saying that it is a declaration of war. There is two months lift of Biden's presidency, and this guy is escalating things in Ukraine? What is wrong with this guy? We were close to nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis under President Kennedy, but cooler heads prevailed. There are no cool heads here. That is a truly frightening proposition. China is allegedly cutting data communication cables in the Baltic sea. Germany is backing off from supplying missiles to Ukraine, but there's other NATO nations that are working to thwart the incoming President-elect Trump. We've got Russia vs Ukraine, Israel vs Iran and their proxies, and China keeps eyeing up Taiwan. Things balance on a knife's edge and we're being led by the blind. What lies on the horizon and how do we put a stop to it?

Episode 323- It's V-Day!
- Well, it happened! The greatest political comeback in history is complete. It was still way too close. President Trump dominated the Electoral College, but those swing states were way too close. Despite that, 90% of all counties got redder. Florida, Texas, and Ohio were all double digit victories. The hard work begins now as President Trump begins to put his team together. We know that Susie Wiles is his new Chief of Staff. Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, and Vivek Ramamswami will all have jobs. He needs to appoint people that will agree to come into the system he's setting up and help implement it. There will be an uphill battle to finish cleaning out Washington, but if anyone can do it, President Trump can. People like Steve Moore or Larry Kudlow might be good in the Department of the Treasury. Kevin McCarthy could fill a role somewhere... He could bring back some of his former compatriots like Ben Carson and Linda McMahon. The economy was the driving force. People were so hurt by inflation but there were additional issues, such as the border and foreign policy. There were a lot of winners and losers that came out of this election. Some winners were Texas, the 1st Amendment, diplomacy, capitalism, energy independence, peace, and that's just the beginning. Some of the losers were DEI, mainstream media, digital currency, BRICS, establishment Republicans, and many more. What will a world under the watchful eye of President Trump look like? We let you know how we see it!

Episode 322- It's Time To Decide
We've been in the political consulting business for a long time... and we've got a pretty good record, if we say so ourselves. We know that this is a very exciting and close race for president this year, but please, please, please don't forget about local races. Before you go to vote early, please do your research in order to elect the right people into school boards, city councils, and county boards. The effects of the decisions they make on your life is more impactful than what gets done in Washington. They decide taxation, light rail, development planning, school safety, and so much more. Don't forget about those judial races either. We have to build up a defense close to home just as much as we need to at the federal level. We take a look at the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives projections, but the presidential race can determine how much of who wins what. The polls are facinating. The Republicans are closing in on many of these razor-thin races, but they're still completely up for grabs. Trump is ahead in most of the polls, but it's only by the thinnest of margins. The momentum, however, is with Trump. The VP has been changing her strategy, leaving joy in the past and trying to blame Donald Trump for eveything. Despite the shift, we see Trump increasing in not just polls, but the number of early voters. Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and other swing states are reporting high turnout for the Republicans. Polymarket is showing 2:1 odds for Trump to win the election. These are all good signs, but don't count anyone out, because of some hot senate races and some abortion constitutional amendments on the ballot. We're in the home stretch, so we'll just have to wait and see. Let us know your thoughts!

Episode 321- Is Global Government Here?
VP Kamala Harris recently sat down with 60 Minutes. That used to be a huge interview to get... now it's met with a collective "meh". Kamala didn't say anything worth repeating. In fact, CBS was caught red-handed swapping out at least one answer that she bombed for another one. The media is in the bag for Harris, and it's more apparent than ever. All these people that stood against the system like Howard Stern and Bruce Springsteen are now part of the social elite club. Everything seems staged, in a concerted effort to play favorites with VP Harris and assist in defeating Donald Trump. Those that are trying to defend their place in the social order are all-in to perpetuate the fake environment that keeps the money, power, and favor with a small group of wealthy and well-connected. At the end of WWI, the US joined the new League of Nations (thanks Woodrow Wilson). After WWII, the world transitioned to the United Nations, and the push for world government was put in motion. You had presidents like Theodore Roosevelt and Wilson that desired our involvement in other nations and Taft, McKinley, and Coolidge that wanted to stay out of foreign affairs. Unfortunately, the former has won out over the latter. The UN drafted Agenda 21, and had built a rudimentary framework for global government. Agenda 21 got a fresh coat of paint when they released Agenda 2030, but it still lacked the teeth to hold member nations to anything. That is changing with the roll out of the Pact For The Future. A pact like this should be a treaty that needs Senate ratification, but the Biden administration is trying to get the United States to commit to participating as an "Executive Agreement". What the heck is that? There is a component to censor entities that they deem espouse misinformation, malinformation, and disinformation. They want to implement a global carbon tax to combat "climate change". They want to push gender equity so that men can continue to brutalize women in sports. They want to get rid of all nuclear weapons. They also want to add countries to the Security Council that have traditionally been led by dictators. This is a dangerous pact that will overrule our constitution, but it shouldn't ever exist without going through our Senate. We have to get out of the United Nations now, while there is still time.

Episode 320- Momentum Is Shifting
We lost a great one this week when Pete Rose (83) passed away. He was banished from baseball for life because he bet on games. What happens now that he's gone? There's a lot of sports legends that were terrible people. Is there really any reason to keep Rose out? The concensus is that JD Vance gave MN Gov Tim Walz a trouncing. We review the debate and give you our analysis. We all know that Walz has a problem with the truth, and he just couldn't keep up with Vance. The nonverbals showed that Walz was in trouble from the outset. Worse for the governor, Vance was totally on top of his game and showed the world who was ready to lead our nation, if called upon. Things seem to be moving, despite that the polls are showing a dead heat. Momentum seems to be moving in President Trump's favor. The Veep is playing defense in states she needs and Trump is playing offense in places like Virginia, New York, and New Jersey. Antisemitism is still on the rise across the world. The nations of the world are not backing Israel, despite the horrors on October 7, 2023. We've always been an ally of the Jewish state, but we seem to be floundering when they need us most. Biden/Harris don't have any answers, but Trump does seem to know what needs to happen. Add to all of this that President Trump has survived two attempts on his life, exposed the attempts of the Justice Department, the Democrat Party, and the media to destroy him personally, and garnered the support of other freedom-loving countries like Argentina, El Salvodor, and Hungary... and how is this race even close? How do supposed "conservatives" back the Marxist candidate ovder the one that governed conservatively for four years? Is it worth disliking someone's personality to burn the whole nation down? That's the question before all of you now.

Episode 319- That's A Three Letter Word
- The Kamala Harris campaign is confusing. Despite the lack of interviews, the information we are hearing is vague... almost like they are trying to hide what she stands for. The strange appearances by Governor Tim Walz aren't helping either. Conversely, President Trump doesn't let an opportunity to speak to the public go to waste. The media is getting restless at Harris' absence and word salads. How much longer can they keep up the charade before they have to say something of consequense? What is going on in theFederal Government? Ryan Routh hides at the fence of a golf course that no one knew that President Trump was going to be at? He has no money to his name and has travelled around the world, has a place in Hawaii, and was interviewed by Newsweek and the New York Times for recruiting Afghans to fight in Ukraine? And no one tipped him off when a majority of the deep state absolutely hates him? Maybe, but it's pretty suspect. I mean, haven't we seen this movie before? Look at what we're learning about JFK's assassination. Look at the deaths of Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley. Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan were both shot. A plot against Gerald Ford was foiled. When we have a presidential candidate that is so hated by so many, why isn't there more protection? We also discuss the vast network of these three-letter governement agencies that are regulating everything. They get around Congress by making these regulations, rather than a law being passed in the legislature. Last time I checked, that's not legally a law. You look at these confidential plans like Operation Northwoods, Operersation Shamrock, and Operation Paperclip, and we find out what these agencies did well after the fact... and there's no accountability.

Episode 318- The Result Is Debatable
- We just had what looks to be the one and only presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. All of the press claimed victory for the Vice President, but is that really the truth? They went toe to toe on the economy, Afghanistan, January 6th, crime, immigration, and more. Despite the initial reaction from the media, voters didn't quite agree. The former president even had a couple of viral moments and a meme that broke the internet. Who remembers her at all? Those that could keep an open mind, were able to see that Kamala offered very little in the way of solutions but was full of personal attacks. President Trump was able to create a distinction between he and Harris on important issues. He routinely got the last word. Kamala lied about January 6th, fine people on both sides, suckers and losers, the immigration bill, inflation, abortion, and other topics as well. CNN, afterward said that President Trump lied over 30 times and Harris lied only once. It couldn't have been more laughable. The moderators definitely chose a side. They "fact checked" President Trump when they wanted to parrot the government line and cut him off when he brought up the bullet that was aimed at his head. They pressed Harris on nothing. Even the mainstream media was critical of the job ABC did. Will we see another debate? Trump currently says no, despite Kamala saying yes. We'll see what happens... we might not discuss another debate until the VP candidates square off.

Episode 317- Silencing Many Voices
We're on the eve of the first (and maybe only) presidential debate. We set it up and give you our predictions, not only on the outcome, but on the press, the process, and what must happen. Nations around the world wink at having a freedom of speech, but in America, we are the only nation that has it enshrined in our constitution. Unfortunately, we are seeing it eroding in this nation as well. It's still way worse in other countries, but if we're not careful, it's going to come here. We have seen Europe and Brazil begin to go after speech that they don't like, shutting down important businesses and even wanting those that they believe to speak "hate speech" extradited to that nation to stand trial and be punished. Even in this nation, speech is being stifled. Social media companies are having to admit that the government is forcing them to censor speech around certain topics that are bad for the Democrats or go against their policies.

Episode 316- This Rallies A Nation?
The last two election cycles have shown that the polls are consistently wrong. President Trump consistently outperforms the polls, and we believe that this year is no different. We discuss results from the past couple of presidential cycles and what we see happening in the culture with President Trump picking up a lot of non-traditional supporters. The sampling seems to be skewed towards Democrats instead of being equal between Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Why is there little to no analysis of the polls and their internal numbers by the media? Why should we trust them now? During the 2022 election, the phrase "Tim Walz Lies" was a thing. As we've seen, he's still at it. Both he and his running mate have only sat down for one scripted and heavily edited interview. Where are they? Threre is a debate coming up, but will it even happen? The team of Harris and Walz are running hard from anyone that wants to ask any questions. They have done a handful of events in front of a teleprompter, and aren't taking any questions from the press. Is this a winning strategy? On the other hand, both President Trump and JD Vance seem to be everywhere, talking to everyone. We deserve to know about Afghanistan, inflation, immigration, environmental policy, energy, and no one can get to these two and make them lay out their thier positions. Campaign surrogates have released some policy positions, but they don't reflect Kamala's past... they sound like Donald Trump's positions! What are they doing? There's no way that's the truth, it's just politically expedient. We have to take note of what's going on. We can't elect someone that is a compulsive liar as president. We have no idea who they are or what they will really do. That's dangerous.

Episode 315- Stonewalling And Outright Lies
Things have been blowing by at breakneck speed. Huge news stories, that would normally last weeks in the media, now are here and gone in days. We take a moment to call out Comcast and professional sports over their latest scam to bilk more money from the fans. At some point, the average fan will be completely priced out and they don't care. Why is no one talking about the attempt on President Trump's life anymore? This just happened! How do we still not know anything about Thomas Crooks? We knew more about all of the 9/11 hijackers within a week than we know about this guy now. Why has he been scrubbed? Who is holding this information from the public? We are in unprecedented times. An attempt on the life of a former president and a legit third-world coup to take out the current President of the United States from running for a second term. Then the Democrat elites install a new candidate without a single delegate vote being cast and have the audacity to call it a "bottom-up process". In who's land of make believe? IT's time that those of us that love our country and the constitution come together (even across political parties) to preserve our republic and our constitution. Join us for this discussion and in our journey for restoration.

Episode 314- The Making Of A Legend
Sometimes the news moves faster than we can keep up with. In the time between we cut this, edited it, and posted it, both Lou Dobbs passed away (RIP) and Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Despite that, this is still a hard-hitting, explosive podcast. We all watched in horror as a 20-year old Thomas Crooks tried to change the trajectory of the nation as he tried to end the campaign of President Trump with a single shot. He miraculously turned his head at the right moment, causing the bullet to hit him in the ear, rather than in the head. After the Secret Service piled on President Trump, up he rises like a phoenix from the ashes with a defiant fist in the air, urging the crowd to fight. On that day, a legend was born. In a sad turnabout, a good man lost his life. The people have had enough and everyday Americans seem set on taking their country back from the radicals. There were so many Secret Service failures, that it's hard to believe that it was all accidental bungling of an extremely important job... and the head of the department refuses to step down or take any responibility. Of course the left has decided to give President Trump a day's worth of unity and are now back in rare form. They want to get rid of Biden and have called the attempt on Trump's life "staged" and others have even publicly lamented the shooter's miss. We take a deep dive and give you our expert analysis. Let us know what you think!

Episode 313- Worse Than They Could Have Imagined
We recently witnessed the first (and possibly last) presidential debate of the 2024 election season. It was a massacre. President Biden not only did worse than anyone expected, President Trump handled Biden and the moderators almost perfectly. Biden stumbled, mumbled, and stared blankly, and with an open mouth, into space. He misquoted numbers. He said he beat Medicare. He said that many women are raped by their in-laws, spouses, and brothers and sisters. What? Then he went on to challenge President Trump on the golf course. President Trump was in control and articulate. He didn't fall for Biden's taunts. He beat President Biden on the abortion question, bringing up his unpopular position on late-term abortions. He told Biden that "he beat Medicare into the ground". The press is in panic mode, screaming for Biden to resign after covering for him two weeks ago or pushing some of the most ridiculous narratives to carry water for the President. The factions in the Democratic Party are more clear than ever, as Joe looks like he's (or Jill is making him) dig his heels in and stand his ground. Looking at the electoral college, however, there's not any good options for the Dems to try and get another candidate on the ballot, especially in some important swing states. Dates are passed or coming up soon. We're not in uncharted territory, as we recall the Wilson and FDR presidencies, abitious wives, and sick presidents in hiding. Kamala is rumored to be looking for her opportunity, but may not have a clear path to remove the President. We also make our guesses on Trump's VP pick. Who do you think it is?
