- Ironic response of Trumpers
I find it ironic that Trumpers like md this podcast before Trump came into office but now I have a problem with it because it points out all the unconstitutionality and vast overreach of the executive branch while he’s in office leading us down the road to authoritarianism that has already been paid by multiple different scenarios from history. Doesn’t mean we’ll end up where we’re currently going, but if we don’t change direction, we’ll end up where we’re going. Funny how these people can learn... more

United States4 months ago - Used to love this show.
I used to love this show. It was one of my favorites to learn about history and understanding my rights as a citizen. It has gone way down hill especially since President Trump came into office. I feel like all this show does anymore is bash anything he does rather than do research on it and maybe compare both sides. This has turned into a one sided show and I will now be unfollowing. Super disappointed.

We have to be personally responsible for our household & protect our families - live within our means & payoff loans as soon as possible.
I assume presidents & members of congress do the same for their households, then why hasn’t congress and the president balance the federal budget and pay down the national debt since Gingrich/Clinton?

Apple Podcasts5To T or not to TeeUnited States6 months ago - A few errors
There were a few errors in the recent episode Who is Running the Country? 2 Tulsi Gabbard was identified as the Director of National Security and then it was intimated that she was in charge of the NSA. She is the Director of National Intelligence and has operational and policy authority over the nations intelligence agencies. General Timothy D. Haugh is the Director of the NSA. Also Pete Hegseth was a Major in the Army National Guard, not a national Major.
