TPS 60: Kaine's Blunder 09/12/2025

TPS 60: Kaine's Blunder “Our rights come from God our Creator not from our laws not from our governments”. Does this statement cause you to fear? That’s what it evokes from U.S. Senator Tim Caine of Virginia and he said so out loud in the U.S. Senate. But doesn't the Declaration of Independence say that our rights come from God, not the government? We discuss Kaine's Blunder this week on The Public Square®. This episode was recorded before September 10th and before the murder of Charlie Kirk, on September 11. David Zanotti, Chairman of The American Policy Roundtable®, spoke of Mr. Kirk's murder on Your Morning Show with Michael DelGiorno.

TPS 60: 2026 - The Election Starts Here In 2023 the abortion industry began a campaign to take over portions of state constitutions and enshrine their agenda into state law.

This national campaign has been launched in the state of Ohio and will soon be traveling across the country. We turn the lights on this strategy and discuss the potential consequences on this episode of The Public Square®.
