  • Episode 107 - DOGE is in the Constitution
    Feb 24 2025

    Elizabeth Warren may think that we don't have a right to know what the government spend our hard-earned dollars on, but she's dead wrong. There is language in our foundational document that tells us we have an absolute right to that information.

    We don't need to worry about how the court cases will turn out.

  • Episode 106: Gun law and the Constitution
    Feb 11 2025

    This is the beginning of a discussion of the Constitution and gun law. President Trump tasked AG Bondi with sorting out all of the BATFE rules and regs on guns. Any not in clear agreement with the Constitution were to be thrown out.

    I go through the key issues, focusing on history

    • 1791

  • Episode 105 - DOGE and the Law
    Feb 5 2025

    Elon Musk's DOGE has access to virtually every financial record in the US. How is this even remotely legal? (Hint: It's not access, it's how the records are used...)

  • Episode 104 - Trump's "Lawless" Administration
    Jan 28 2025

    Lefty Lawyers are screaming that Trump's administration is "lawless." So we take a look at a couple of key issues in Trump's Executive Orders.
    Key cases:
    Knauff v. Shaughnessy (1950)
    Luther v. Borden (1849)
    US v Abbott (2024)

    Article 4 Section 4 - the Guarantee Clause
    Article 1 Section 10 Clause 3 - States may defend against invasion

    Trump firing IGs and prosecutors is protected activity under Article 2 Section 1 Clause 1.

  • Episode 103 - Birthright Citizenship
    Jan 24 2025

    With President (boy, that sounds good...) Trump's EO stopping birthright citizenship, the predictable legal noise has begun. A judge has declared it unconstitutional, and others are sure to follow. In other courts, we should expect a different answer. Ultimately the Supreme Court will make the decision.

    We discuss the key issue in the 14th Amendment. What does, "subject to the jurisdiction of" mean?

  • Episode 102 - Critical Incident Analysis and the LA Fires
    Jan 10 2025

    It's easy to see the causes of the LA fires, if you are willing to follow the critical incident chain. Governor Hair Gel wants us to blame global warming, which isn't hot enough to start fires. There are multiple causes for the fires and the inability to fight them. Every cause points a finger directly at Democrat governance.

  • Episode 101 - Legal Issues the MSM Won't be Reporting
    Jan 7 2025

    Because Trump has a big win in the Georgia case, you won't hear about it from any of the usual talking head. We break it down. Also, we consider the Biden drilling ban. Finally, the idiocy of the FBI management of the New Orleans and Las Vegas events gets a glancing view.

  • Episode 100 - The Drug War that should be stopped
    Dec 16 2024

    We have 100k overdose deaths each year in the US. The media breathlessly declares them to be a result of fentanyl, which "is deadly." Nothing could be farther from the truth. Those deaths are unnecessary, but fully predictable, economic effects of drug prohibition.
