    Nice click bait titles, a must for anyone who has their big doughy head up Ben M.’s leftist hole.

    Update: looks like you’re rooting for Iran, tubby.

  • Timely and factual defense of democracy and the rule of law.

    Michael Popok does a great job providing timely content with context and expertise as a practicing attorney. He uses the Constitution and SCOTUS rulings and dissenting opinions, as well as his knowledge of the people and personalities in the U.S. Article 3 Judicial System from his decades of work in that system.

  • IRS

    I understand that us regular citizens are being screwed over the tariffs that we’ve paid through our day-to-day purchasing. I’m trying to get momentum to pass a law for the income tax filings next year (too late for this year)that a tariff deduction is provided to every household. I think that’s the only way we’re gonna get any money back.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Fed Pick Quickly Collapses under Cross Exam at Hearing!!
Q: Will you commit to lowering interest rates if the president asks you to?
Warsh maintains that he would not commit to any rate decision in advance and would follow constitutional and Fed procedures, signaling independence despite political pressure.
Trump Fed Pick Quickly Collapses under Cross Exam at Hearing!!
Q: Did Donald Trump win or lose the 2020 election?
Warsh deflects, suggesting the body certified the election and avoids taking a firm public stance on the outcome, signaling a cautious approach to politicized questions.
Supreme Court Ruling Backfires On Court?!?
Q: What now can states do to move forward after Salazar Childs?
States can amend statutes to be explicitly neutral and viewpoint-neutral, avoid singling out any one perspective, and implement clearer regulatory language that permits legitimate therapeutic approaches while prohibiting coercive efforts. They can also extend the statute of limitations for malpractice related to conversion therapy and pursue civil claims when harm has occurred, ensuring laws are constitutionally robust and harder for opponents to challenge.
Supreme Court Ruling Backfires On Court?!?
Q: What went wrong with this case and how does your organization get us there?
The ruling is narrow and narrowly framed around specific language in the Colorado statute; it does not endorse conversion therapy or declare it lawful, but suggests that states can regulate it in a viewpoint-neutral way. This creates a path forward where states must carefully draft language to avoid silencing a viewpoint, while still protecting patients, especially minors, from coercive or harmful practices. The organization plans to help states rework statutes for neutrality and later seek stronger remedies such as extended statutes of limitations and malpractice avenues.
Trump Panics as Nation Finally Wakes Up…
Q: What is the central thesis about money in politics that you want the audience to take away?
Money has quietly monetized and corrupted democratic processes through think tanks, media consolidation, and campaign financing, making it essential to push for transparency, accountability, and structural reforms to restore public interest as a higher priority than private wealth.
