  • The False Narrative of Vote-by-Mail Fraud

    This show continues to push the big Trump Lie! Mail balloting is not a new idea; it was already deeply embedded in the American electoral system before the coronavirus hit. In the last two federal elections, roughly one out of every four Americans cast a mail ballot. In five states — Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington — mail balloting has been the primary method of voting. In 28 additional states, all voters have had the right to vote by mail. Since 2000 more than 250 million votes h... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NLRB Changes in 2026: People and Policy, Part 1
Q: How might the changes affect management and union dynamics in ongoing campaigns?
Employers may see a more predictable process with less expansion of remedies and a greater emphasis on progressing cases through standard procedures, while unions may need to adapt to a board that is less inclined to broad, sweeping remedies and more focused on predictable outcomes.
NLRB Changes in 2026: People and Policy, Part 1
Q: What immediate changes are anticipated from the new NLRB leadership in 2026?
The guests anticipate a recalibration rather than an abrupt overhaul, with a potential slowdown or narrowing of aggressive remedies and a reversion to more traditional enforcement priorities, building on but adjusting the policy groundwork laid by the prior administration.
Servant Leadership to Grow a Business with Engaged Employees, Part 2
Q: What specific practices or benefits do you find pivotal for engagement and autonomy among leaders and employees?
Liz describes granting autonomy to department heads, investing in leadership training to support decision-making, and fostering a culture where employees can speak up about issues through structured feedback loops and a responsible corrective action process.
Servant Leadership to Grow a Business with Engaged Employees, Part 2
Q: How do you touch and keep people informed about growth plans?
Liz explains that VARC uses regular touchpoints, video updates for onboarding, and real-time communications to keep all employees informed about growth plans, while balancing quick updates with broader, inclusive information sharing.
Whistleblower Breaks Details of NLRB Mail Ballot Election Abuse – Part II
Q: What can employers do to ensure fair elections?
Employers are advised to conduct bargaining unit analysis and ensure training for managers and supervisors, alongside considerations of litigation regarding the use of mail ballots versus manual elections.
