Underground USA's Corner of the Bar Podcast

With the release of special counsel Robert Hur’s report on President Biden’s handling of classified documents, it appears we are once again facing a Hillary Clinton-James Comey moment. Where everyone was outraged that Clinton wouldn’t be held to account for blatantly violating the Espionage Act and then defying the Justice Department by destroying evidence on her private server, the American people should be doubly outraged at Hur’s conclusion not to recommend legal action against Biden.Hur’s special counsel investigation “uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.” This is an incontrovertible violation of the Espionage Act and a crime that anyone else (but Clinton) would be charged for. Yet, it was announced that the Justice Department will not charge Biden in the matter, Hur saying, “no criminal charges are warranted.”So what was the basis for letting Biden skate on committing a crime that is not far from the seriousness of treason? As Hur put it in his announcement:“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory…Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify a reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him – by then a former president well into his eighties – of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”Two immediate points come to mind.First, unless Hur is a soothsayer or can see into the future; unless he is an omnipotent being, then he cannot know what a jury will think or do. Therefore, his contentions about the jury are all speculation and should not be considered in calculating whether or not the Justice Department should pursue any prosecution of Biden.Second, unless Hur is a board-certified physician qualified to diagnose cognitive disorders, his opinion on the mental state of the President is irrelevant. In fact, his non-expert “testimony” – via his comments – complicates matters where the public and their elected representatives' consideration of the execution of the 25th Amendment is concerned.Hur’s purview was – specifically – to determine whether or not a crime had occurred. His report – in conclusion of his investigation – determined a crime was committed. Therefore, Hur has to report that fact to his superiors and reserve his personal opinions for bravado sessions with his friends. His opinions on the matter are irrelevant. Only the facts uncovered are relevant.So, for the second time in less than eight years, senior members of a presidential administration – who do not enjoy presidential immunity – are not charged with crimes that they did, in fact, commit. Where Biden was found to have illegally held classified documents, Clinton was found to have illegally held classified documents as well, Comey said in his final determination:“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information…there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information.”Now, given the kid gloves with which Clinton and Biden are being handled – and how the administration of justice is being obstructed, how is it even possible to attempt to deny Donald Trump his right to be on any state Presidential Election ballot when he has already been acquitted of charges claiming insurrection?Colorado’s supreme court used the basis of Donald Trump being guilty of insurrection to move their ridiculous claim through the process that saw that state attempt to remove Trump’s name from the ballot.That determination was also used in Maine where a totalitarian Secretary of State unilaterally attempted to remove Trump from that state’s ballots.The determination – un-adjudicated – is the basis for the entire argument to disqualify Trump from any ballot for the 2024 General Election.But unless we are suspending the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, no adjudication of insurrection can be leveled at the former President.But, wait Frank? When did Trump stand trial for insurrection?The highest legal authority in the United States where presidential misconduct is adjudicated is the Legislative Branch through the execution of the impeachment process. The “indictment” is executed in the US House of Representatives in the form of the actual impeachment, and the “trail” takes place in the US Senate with the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court presiding.The second time the impeachment-happy Democrats, under US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), politicized the provision, the 117th US Congre

On a recent edition of ABC News This Week, host George Stephanopoulos abruptly ended an interview with US Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), because Vance wouldn’t take a knee to the idea that the Executive Branch bureaucracy has autonomy outside the pleasure of the President of the United States and that rulings by the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) can never be challenged or subverted. Both notions are ridiculous.In the past, when being interviewed, I have stated emphatically that the biggest mistake of Donald Trump’s presidency was that he didn’t either outright fire or at least relieve of duty and reassign all of the upper- and mid-level political appointments at the Department of Justice, The US Treasury, the Pentagon, and the US State Department. That delinquency came back to damage Trump’s ability to achieve many things during his presidency and set the stage for the Deep State bureaucratic political opposition plaguing his current presidential run.Each civil servant in the federal bureaucracy serves at the pleasure of the President of the United States because the president is the ipso facto Executive Branch. He is elected by the citizens to execute the tasks of the federal government and to do so per the letter of the law. Each employee of the Federal government works for the president, and just like any other employer, when a subordinate fails to execute his or her duties, or if they usurp the authority thereof, they are and should be subject to termination.But Stephanopoulos – a former Senior Advisor to President Bill Clinton, challenged Vance on the president’s authority to terminate civil servants for their failure to execute presidential policy when, in fact, that is what any federal employee is employed to do. And Stephanopoulos did so with incredulous arrogance as if to insist that the Deep State bureaucracy has a constitutional authority to exist unilaterally outside of the President’s prerogative; independent from presidential and legislated policy.To Stephanopoulos’s contention that a SCOTUS decision can never be challenged or subverted, I was shocked that Vance didn’t point out the usurpations of SCOTUS rulings currently taking place under the Biden administration. SCOTUS ruled, in no uncertain terms, that the Executive Branch did not have the authority to forgive student loans, yet – to this day – the Biden administration continues to use taxpayer dollars to forgive student loans that were issued in good faith and with the expectation that they would be repaid. The power of the purse is exclusively reserved for the US House of Representatives. So with each loan forgiven, there is a violation of the separation of powers.SCOTUS also ruled that race could not be used in determining college admissions. Yet the Biden administration is pursuing the ability to use race-based admissions criteria at West Point, again defying the High Court.And as for fidelity to the Constitution? We need to look no further than Biden’s abuse of the Take Care Clause.The Take Care Clause in the United States Constitution, found in Article II, Section 3 states, “[the president] shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed”, meaning the president is obligated to execute the laws enacted by Congress and to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed. It emphasizes the president’s duty to enforce all constitutionally valid Acts of Congress, regardless of their alignment with the president’s personal views or policies.That certainly doesn’t sound like what’s happening on our country’s Southern border, does it?Then we should look at every non-legislated regulation coming out of the cabinet-level departments and agencies. The very act of Congress allowing the Executive Branch to craft ipso facto law through the establishment of non-legislated regulatory power is unconstitutional and SCOTUS has ruled as much in a case against the EPA. Yet the regulatory tyranny of the Executive Branch reigns on.Further, Biden’s abuse of the Executive order is clear and defined. There are specific criteria that need to be met to ensure a balance of power and accountability before a Chief Executive is allowed to issue an Executive Order.The foremost criterion for a president to issue an Executive Order is a clear constitutional authority. Executive Orders cannot exceed the president's constitutional authority or infringe upon the powers reserved for other branches of government.A president must also base Executive Orders on existing legislation or statutes so that they align with the laws enacted by Congress, ensuring that the president's actions are consistent with the legislative framework.The criteria for addressing issues related to national security or emergencies involve a genuine and imminent threat to the nation, necessitating swift action and honest transparency about the circumstances and their justifications.And this is where Vance should have slammed into Stephanopoulos’s argument with a tank. Executive Orders can also be used to streaml

We get into this topic at the end of Friday’s America’s Third Watch segment but I wanted to address the issue more thoroughly. The level of constitutional illiteracy held by US Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) – not to mention US Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) – in their proposed legislation to force a private sector company to abide by governmental edict is beyond stunning. It is grotesque.Walgreens, the Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmacy chain, recently closed a location in Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, which happens to be in Pressley’s district. Walgreens has closed three store locations in the Boston Area since 2022.The reason for these closures is simply. Because they existed in high-crime neighborhoods and were routinely targeted for robberies, it became economically unfeasible to allow those locations to remain open.Add to that the fact that Boston – a Blue urban area – has adopted the intellectually stunted policy of decreased police response and rate of prosecution under the guise of “equity” and the matter becomes one of economic survival and employee safety. It isn’t profitable or safe for these locations to remain functional.But, wouldn’t you know it, Pressley – perhaps one of the most egregious race baiters elected to federal office, almost broke herself getting to the microphone to play the race card:That Warren and Markey decided to coattail on this absurd protestation stands as testimony to how little our elected officials understand the laws of economics, the Constitution, and the many forms of government in the world.The United States was founded – and thrived to become the greatest economic power on the face of the planet – on the employment of a free market system. People produce products and/or offer services and the market determines the rate of compensation by establishing a level of compensation agreeable to all parties.That’s the way it was supposed to be. But ever since the US federal government raped the Commerce Clause and twisted the Supremacy Clause into origami to give the federal government much more authority over our daily lives than originally attended, we have moved away from a free market system.Today government interference is prevalent across what was once a free market. Executive Branch regulatory authority means we have to ask permission from the government to do anything in the marketplace. You need a license to:* Collect rainwater* Go fishing* Own property* Start a business* Renovate your home* Build a home* Operate a vehicle* Get married* Hunt* Own a weapon* Cut hair* Sell a product* Protest* Grow food on your property* Sell food* Set up a lemonade stand in many placesThe list goes on and on and now, evidently – according to Pressley, Warren, and Markey – the government is now assuming the authority to tell you where you will operate your businesses and when you can close them.The definition of fascism is:“...a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.”Understanding how intrusive our federal government is in the private sector allegedly “free” market, it is hard not to check the box next to each one of those qualifiers. All you have to do is replace the word “dictator” with “oligarchy” and we are there.The solution to this despotic power grab is not to “vote them out” – although it would be a great place to start. Truth is because electoral party politics biorhythms like a pendulum from conservative to liberal “vote them out” doesn’t work.No, the solution is for the 50 states to take back the power they foolishly let the federal government take from them and that can be achieved through the use of nullification.I lay out a solid plan to implement nullification – and more – in my book, Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government, available on Amazon in paperback and in Kindle form.Encouraging and aiding our state governments to tame the federal government shows neofascists like Pressley the door; the days of their ideological bullying and grifting the taxpayers at an end.Together, we can achieve this and we can save the Republic. We just have to be cohesive in our determination to do so.Now, Friday’s segment on America’s Third Watch, as broadcast coast-to-coast on the Salem and Genesis Communications Networks.Take Back Your Mind...Think For Yourself...Support Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

I’d like to touch on a subject that GenZers and GenZ Alphas – and maybe even some later Millennials – wouldn’t fully understand from experience. The subject matter is what most people mistakenly call “radical Islam.” It is important for a couple of significant reasons, one of which concerns what is happening in the Middle East today.People who were alive and aware during and after the attacks on September 11, 2001, had the opportunity to hear the open debate that took place about the covenants and tenets of Islam. During that debate a popular notion – albeit one based on an untruth and a defective understanding of the Quran and Hadith – was that Islam is a “religion of peace.” It is not. It never has been. But that didn’t keep people of influence from declaring it so.From Presidents like George W Bush and Barack Obama……to failed presidential candidates like Hillary Clinton… …the preferred narrative was clear: Islam is a religion of peace.But perhaps the preeminent scholar on the Quran, Hadith, and Islam in general – Robert Spencer – debunks that motion in short order…I bring this up because of the epidemic of GenZ, GenZ Alpha, and Millenials who have taken to the streets in support of Hamas, claiming the entirety of the West exists as Islamophobic and that the West is the aggressor; that the “religion of peace” is under attack.(As an aside, Hamas is a US State Department-recognized terrorist organization supported in its mission by the Muslim Brotherhood – and now heavily funded by the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, Iran. The list of their attacks on Israel and Israeli citizens alone is exhaustive.)Islam is a religion of conquest and that conquest, as Spencer pointed out in my brief clip, is executed by the sword. And it is not the “radicalized” Muslim that executes this conquest, it is the devout Muslim that executes this conquest. The demographic within the Muslim world that does commit acts of terrorism is not a demographic that has been “radicalized,” rather, they are simply following the precise teachings in the Quran and Hadith.Some would say, “Well, isn’t that just like the Christians of the Crusades?” Yes and no and irrelevant.While the Christian Crusades were bloody and totalitarian, they were bastardized by politics and the greed for power that has its seeds in every human being. More important is that the Crusades ended with an understanding that they were wrong, ushering in reformation in the Christian church.Further – and here is where Christianity and Islam are incredibly different. The Bible and the Torah and written as secondhand accountings of the teachings of the Christian God. The Quran, Muslims insist, is the literal world of Allah. So, where the Crusaders had to interpret the words of God to justify their actions, Muslims are commanded by the literal word of God to execute what is held within the Quran without interpretation. If a Muslim wants to be devout, he or she must do as commanded.That gives the commanded tenets that Spencer covered specific and explicit meaning, especially Chapter 2, verse 191, which says,“Kill them wherever you come upon them and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out…”As to the question’s irrelevancy, today it is the devout in the Islamic faith that launch missiles into civilian areas in actions of conquest, not Christians.In the 2000s I served as the Executive Director for BasicsProject.org, an educational 501c3 organization focused on exposing the internal and external threats to the United States and eradicating constitutional illiteracy. The internal threats were centered on progressivism and neo-fascism, and the external threats focused on those emanating from devout Islamism.I have read and studied the books. I know Robert Spencer as well as many others including Wafa Sultan, Paul L. Williams, Walid Phares, Brigette Gabriel, and many others considered learned voices on the topic of Islam. There are at least two things on which we all agree: 1) It is the devout Muslim that poses the threat because of his/her adherence to the letter of the Quran, and 2) Islam is not a religion of peace.And so it is that the onus of any effort to demilitarize the Islamic culture must weigh heavily on the devout within the Islamic faith. It is they who must reject the violence that is commanded by Allah in the Quran, and that will take a reformation that will – necessarily – move the over 1 billion Muslims away from the “literal teachings” of their god. That is no small task.What can help this reformation along is this. The West needs to be honest about the issue instead of creating false narratives like “Islam is a religion of peace.” It most certainly is not. And we can also help the Islamic world move away from violence and the use of terrorism as a tool of conquest by establishing the truth that it is not a small number of radicalized Muslims that exploit this tool, but the devout who are simply following the commands of the

Before we get to this morning’s segments on America’s Third Watch with Kyle Warren, in which we discuss both how our federal government got to this level of dysfunction, and a pathway to rectifying this serious issue, I wanted to to point out a prime example of how the federal government abuses the taxpayers to its benefit.Do you know there is a taxpayer-funded White House Medical Unit, complete with a pharmacy, that ineligible people within the administration have been using for over a decade?Let me be clear. A free pharmacy in the White House allows those who have access to it to get free prescription and non-prescription medications. This abuse of taxpayer dollars occurred under both Barack Obama and Donald Trump and is suspected of continuing under the Biden administration.The White House Medical Unit is supposed to be a free-standing medical unit that tends to the medical needs of the President, Vice President, and their families, and select – meaning a very small number of people – few staffers.A January 2024 report by the Department of Defense’s Inspector General indicates that there has been a revolving door at the White House pharmacy:“We found that the White House Medical Unit provided a wide range of health care and pharmaceutical services to ineligible White House staff in violation of Federal law and regulation and DoD policy…Additionally, the White House Medical Unit dispensed prescription medications, including controlled substances, to ineligible White House staff.”First, the Obama Administration gerrymanders legislation that requires the American citizenry to pay for health insurance, including unreasonable pharmaceutical prices which most often see countries around the world paying less than we do in the United States for the same drugs.Then Republicans failed to repeal Obamacare in total even as they controlled both houses of Congress.Now we find out that free prescription and non-prescription medication has been doled out to White personnel – and beyond – for over a decade?Wouldn’t you like to go to a pharmacy where you didn’t have to pay for your prescription medications…and maybe even bring your friends so they can get free prescription medication, too?This is just another perfect example of how much contempt the federal government has for the American citizenry. The idea that the elected class “serves” the people is ludicrous. We have already transformed from a Constitutional Republic to a system of Lords and serfs.The World Economic Forum has nothing on the “gorge at the taxpayer feed trough” US federal government.It is time – in fact, well past time – that we re-empower the individual states so that the government closest to the citizen is the one most easily managed and changed. Then we can dismantle the bureaucratic Deep State one immoral and corrupt brick at a time.When we come back, this Morning’s America Third Watch segments…Take Back Your Mind...Think For Yourself...Support Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into Monday’s America’s Third Watch segment, I wanted to play Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign suspension speech. It is just five minutes long, but it illustrates the humble modesty of a true leader.Far from utilizing the typical “blame everyone else” political move that just about every inside-the-beltway politician uses when things don’t go their way, DeSantis accepted the realities of the matter:It bears noting that his campaign suspension was followed immediately by an endorsement of what can now only be seen as the overwhelming favorite for the GOP, former President Donald Trump.Different from most political creatures, DeSantis didn’t name-call or castigate. He outlined what he was fighting for and will be fighting for in the last two years of his governorship and beyond.And rather than personally attack former South Carolina Governor Mikki Haley, he simply pointed out the obvious facts about the timber and reality of her campaign; that she has outed herself as a corporatist and a Deep State player, two qualities we do not need in a President at this period in history.Floridians know how devoted to individualism and freedom DeSantis is, so we supported him in his candidacy. And while the media likes to say that DeSantis' historical win in Florida for a second gubernatorial term was made possible by an endorsement from Donald Trump, that is about as far from the truth as can be.DeSantis won a landslide second term because he had fidelity to the people and the Constitution. He won a historic re-election because he kept his promises and took the tough stands that most governors in the United States shied away from for fear of criticism.What the future might hold for Governor DeSantis is unknown. But I truly hope it isn’t the last we hear of him in the public realm.Until then, we must all band together to beat back the scourge of Marxism that has made significant headway in our country courtesy of the neo-fascist Left’s co-opting of the Democrat Party. We must cause a fissure between the far-Left faction in that party and the real Democrats. It’s the only way to save the Republic from the poison of globalism and the totalitarianism of the monsters at the World Economic Forum.Then, this Monday’s America Third Watch segment…Take Back Your Mind...Think For Yourself...Support Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into Friday’s America’s Third Watch segment, in which we talk a lot about the situation in Gaza and our Southern border here in the US, I wanted to point out some promising talk coming out of all places, the World Economic Forum’s annual conference of elitist clowns in Davos.On the off chance that you are not paying attention to the narcissistic globalists at the World Economic Forum’s annual Davos get-together (insert eye-roll here), I’d like to share with you my surprise at a question-and-answer session and a speech.In both instances, the speakers presented a full-throated condemnation of Marxism and anti-individualism, with one presenter going as far as to declare those in attendance at Davos a part of the problem. You could almost feel the crowd’s righteous indignation.Starting with the latter presenter first, we have Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, who declared in no uncertain terms his dismay with the entire World Economic Forum assumption that they are soothsayers and the future of the world.Then to the speech of the day, courtesy of Argentina’s newly elected president, Javier Milei, who made a case for reversing course from the global march to socialism.It is well past time that the free world pushed back against the self-righteously arrogant globalists who make up the World Economic Forum. At its simplest explanation, the Forum is nothing but an invitation-only gathering of snobbish narcissists who believe because they made a better widget and got rich off of it that somehow they have the intellectual capacity to rule the world by whim.Of course, both Roberts and Milei will undoubtedly pay a price for the truths they extolled in Davos. The Forum’s führer, Klaus Schwab (why do we listen to German totalitarians about their visions for the future), simply can’t allow non-conformity in the quest for the elite to rule the world.Just as history will see Milei as a champion of freedom, classical liberalism, and individualism, so too will those who voice the truth about the benefits of individualism – like Roberts at the Heritage – and the dangers of centralized and Marxist-based government as global patriots and defenders of inalienable rights and equality for all.To that end, we – those who understand the benefits of the free market and the dangers of totalitarianism in all its forms – must be vocal. We must talk about it; and teach. We must start respectfully and tactfully talking politics with our neighbors. If we don’t because we are too worried about what they will think, the next generations won’t have the freedom to worry about such things.Take Back Your Mind...Think For Yourself...Support Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Many narratives were crafted about the protest that occurred at the US Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. Almost all of the ones produced by Congress and the mainstream media shop the narrative of a violent mob that, unprovoked, stormed the Capitol Building while elected officials cowered in fear.But that is the preferred narrative; the narrative those in power want you to believe.Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why the elected class was so reticent in releasing the full complement of surveillance video to the American public? It is a valid and important question to have answered.Over 1,300 people were arrested and charged with various crimes related to the January 6th protest. Of that – three years on, 53 percent of those arrested (548 individuals) still await trial and another 220 individuals still wanted by the FBI. As to those still awaiting trial, their incarceration violates their Fourth and Sixth Amendment rights to due process and a speedy trial. Their continued incarceration moves them to the class of political prisoners.J6: A True Timeline is an important documentary that establishes a certifiable timeline using “evidence from hundreds of J6 trials, as well as evidence from bodycam footage, radio communications, and police officer testimony,” so that we all can better understand what happened that day, who was responsible, and what went wrong.The documentary does not editorialize. Instead, it “chronologically recounts the significant events of the day as they unfolded.” The opening paragraph on the efforts archival page at Open.Ink reads:“J6: A True Timeline gives the audience a never-before-seen timestamped blueprint for the events of January 6, 2021, as they unfolded in real-time. No other film to date fills the gaps or tells the story chronologically the way this film does. The film is also different from anything produced to date because a small group of protestors, some of whom are J6 defendants, have been the ones to collect hours of footage to help contextualize the events of the day. The film was funded and produced entirely through small donations and tens of thousands of volunteer man-hours. The hope is that the film will provoke all Americans to be more curious about the true timeline of January 6.”Whether you vote Democrat, Republican, or Third Party, please, take the time to watch this documentary…and then consider what the power players wanted you to believe.Take Back Your Mind...Think For Yourself...Support Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to Monday’s segment of America’s Third Watch, I wanted to make a few comments about Joe Biden’s disgraceful Valley Forge speech. To put it bluntly, there was so much disingenuousness in that speech – so much politically driven propaganda, that I was half expecting Washington’s ghost to appear to slap the man.As I have stated many times – and as I am starting to hear emerging into the conservative mainstream, there is no adjudication of insurrection anywhere against Donald Trump regarding the events on January 6th. In fact, not one January 6th political prisoner has even been charged with insurrection. Therefore, the 14th Amendment, Section 3 doesn’t apply.Additionally – and this addresses the degree of outright deceit to which the neo-fascists who puppeteer the Biden administration will sink, Trump already served four years, and none of the fear-porn being shopped by Democrats ever came close to happening. One would think that if Donald Trump was a “danger to democracy” he would have planted the seeds the first time around. He didn’t.During the entirety of his tenure as President, Trump had fidelity to the US Constitution and succeeded in protecting the citizenry by holding the Bill of Rights as sacrosanct. The Biden administration’s fear-porn about Trump being “Hitler” and that he will somehow hijack the nation to totalitarian despotism is so over the top that only the most intellectually stunted among the Democrat faithful can honestly believe the allegation.But the most egregious error – and this is something that the ideological Left has been purposely hawking ever since the Wilsonian Marxists arrived on the scene, is his insistence that our nation is a democracy.I am inserting the forward of my monograph, The United States of America Is Not A Democracy, underneath along with a downloadable PDF (premium members already have access to all my monographs and books on the Bookshelf page:“The word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution...and for good reason. The United States is not a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic and the American people must understand this reality. If we continue to allow the untruth that the United States of America is a democracy to flourish we invite the demise of our government and our nation; we invite the cessation of the American Experiment and doom future generations to a fate unknown.“Over the course of our day-to-day activities, we enjoy freedoms and liberties that have been established by our founding documents – The Charters of Freedom…These documents established a Constitutional Republic; a nation, ruled by a government based on the rule of law; laws enacted by governmental representatives elected by the people.“But as we exist today, many among us – including many of the more popular pundits, political activists, special interest groups, and even many elected officials – erroneously refer to our system of government as a democracy. In fact, our Founders and Framers understood a democracy to be a dangerous vehicle that, given time, would devolve into mob rule or government by majority; a government where the minority had little or no voice; a government unrestrained in it reach into our lives. It is for this specific reason that the Founders and Framers established our nation as a Constitutional Republic; a nation based on the rule of law and not the rule of men.“Those who possess nefarious and/or ideological agendas for our nation often refer to our system of government as a democracy, knowing full well that democracy is a transitional state between a republican form of government and an oligarchic form of government; a vehicle for transition to first, majority rule, which, in light of the corruptible and narcissistic frailty of human virtue, eventually leads to the establishment of an oligarchy – or, rule by an elitist class – and the trampling of the rights of those in the minority. The implementation of this transition is facilitated by a distracted and uninformed citizenry and a people who exist constitutionally illiterate…”Here is an excellent short that explains how the manipulative, Wilsonian-Marxist Left has bastardized the true spectrum of political ideology to fit their false narrative about the American form of government and our political system:James Madison, who along with George Mason, crafted the US Constitution, is quoted as saying:“Pure democracy is the most vile form of government...such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”So, Biden’s insistence that he and he alone can “protect democracy” when one understands that democracy is equal to mob rule, is probably a true statement – his administration, along with Obama 1.0 pissed all over the Charters of Freedom for their own s

In recent days, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has made some very dangerous statements for someone in his position. He is speaking the truth and the establishment, Deep State political apparatus doesn’t like it. How can they? They hated Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump for the same thing.This is not an endorsement (it’s still too early in the process to make an intelligent statement of support), but each point Ramaswamy makes is something I can wholeheartedly agree with. In fact, I have been championing his stance on two of the issues for decades.In these four clips, Ramaswamy hits on:* The media’s support of the institutional racism false narrative* The selective support of Ukraine as farce in the realm of “Good v. Evil”* Calling for the RNC’s failures in recent federal elections and Ronna McDaniel’s resignation* Reforming the electoral process by hobbling Super PACsThe False Narrative Of Institutional RacismRamaswamy answers a mainstream media reporter’s question on whether he “condemns” White Supremacy. His response is pointed and frank. Not only does he expose the disingenuousness of the question, but he also points the finger of culpability at the media for using the false narrative as a fulcrum in its ongoing quest to keep our nation divided.As Ramaswamy is of Indian nationality, it is hard for race-baiters like Sharpton, Ibrahim X. Keni, Robin DiAngelo, and Marc Lamont Hill to level the over-used and deceitful charge of “racism at Ramaswamy. Considering the argument Ramaswamy made in his answer to the reporter, any charge of racism would open the door for a perfect example of bald-faced hypocrisy.Wagging The Dog With UkraineRamaswamy gives it to Piers Morgan on the issue of whether or not he supports the continuation of aid – both militarily and financially – to Ukraine in its war with Russia. To make his point, he examples the 2020 Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict and points out in no uncertain terms that Ukraine is supported because it is the media’s cause de jour and that because the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict was, in large part, about Christians the media had no stomach for covering the story in any meaningful way.In a chiefly Christian country – as is the United States (64 percent of Americans asked identified as Christian), you would think there would at least be a mention of the conflict in the mainstream media, yet because the mainstream media controls the flow on information an overwhelming majority of Americans didn’t even know the conflict occurred.In his attempt to counter Ramaswamy, Morgan stumbles and deflects in the face of being presented with that counter-argument to Morgan’s desire to pigeon-hole Ramaswamy on the Ukrainian issue and even goads Morgan into admitting that the United States has been used by the international community as a world police force.The Joke That Is The Contemporary RNCIn a blunt statement, Ramaswamy says what few people in the Republican Party and no elected Republican say: The RNC is an ineffective, “it’s-my-turn”, power club that hates outsiders, settles for mediocrity, and loses elections.I have been calling for Ronna McDaniel’s resignation – or firing – for years. She has failed to capture and hold the House and the Senate and (even though she tried to steal some of the spotlight) had very little to do with Donald Trump’s win in 2016.So, what has she done besides prove to the rank-and-file GOP that she knows how to purchase expensive furniture? She has done nothing. She has occupied a position attained through nepotism (she is Mitt Romney’s niece) and done nothing to advance the achievements of the Republican Party.The Duper Super PACsIn this final clip, Ramaswamy rightfully takes issue with the animal that is the Super PAC. While Republicans celebrated the Citizens United v. FEC verdict in 2010, the fact of the matter is this. Super PACs are a way for the elite and the wealthy to have more influence in elections than the average citizen.I have written about this before. If the federal government is going to place limits on what an individual can give to any one candidate then there should be a low-threshold limit established for Super PACs. The alternative to that would be to reverse the Citizen United ruling.With Citizen United, the floodgates to Dark Money were opened in the United States. As 501c4 organizations do not have to register their donors, not only can corporations and unions donate unlimited amounts to organizations that spearhead political campaigns, but they financially fuel opposition research which infamously produced the Steele Dosier for the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016; a pack of lies and fiction that no one has been tried for and which exists as arguably the worst case of election interference in US history.Too Early To Pull The TriggerAs I said, my support of these statements is not an endorsement of Ramaswamy’s candidacy. But it is an acknowledgment that his candidacy should be taken seriously. He is hitting on

Now Maine. The election “authority” in that state, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, has decided – unilaterally – that Donald Trump should be removed from the federal election ballot in Maine because he is an insurrectionist.Mind you, in no court, in any state, anywhere in the United States, has a charge of insurrection been leveled against anyone, let alone Donald Trump. So, no insurrection conviction – against anyone – has been registered.Officially – legally, there has been no insurrection as qualified by the United States Constitution. Therefore, there is no legal (read: legitimate) basis to invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment which bars insurrectionists from running for the presidency, among other federal offices.One can only hope that the US Supreme Court still recognizes the US Constitution as the law of the land and fast-tracks a rebuke of Colorado’s supreme court in their ruling to remove Trump from their state ballots and Ms. Bellows. There is no other interpretation that can be legitimate but to declare that there has been no adjudication of insurrection and thus no due process to affect Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The actions in Colorado and Maine are unconstitutional and unlawful, and – quite frankly – they all know it.An interesting note about Bellows. in Maine, voters do not elect the Secretary of State, Attorney General, or Treasurer. Elected majority Democrat Party insiders choose them after deals are made in those smoky back rooms of the State House. As of December 2023, Maine has a Democrat trifecta and a Democrat triplex. Democrats control the offices of governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and both chambers of the state legislature.So, as the thinking people among us have suspected all along, these are political moves to deny political opponents the right to run for office. And while societally spoiled assholes like Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, George Takei, and Kathy Griffin screech about Trump’s insurrection, that label – as applied by then – is nothing more than wishful thinking on their parts.Newsflash, each of those ignoramuses – who swore and promised and threatened to leave the United States if Donald Trump won in 2016 failed to keep their word.The serious point in all of this is the attempt to deny ballot access to political opponents without due process; without any constitutional point of order on which to hang that action. These acts are the actions of Third World dictators and the likes of Mao, Stalin, Xi, and Putin. What comes next from Progressives – who should now be called neo-fascists in the mainstream, assassinations? Exiles?And before anyone defending these actions starts revving up their Trump derangement, take note that the DNC did exactly the same thing to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. They attempted to hobble his primary candidacy to such an extent that a Kennedy – a Kennedy – has left the Democrat Party. Sheryl Attkisson has a great podcast on just this subject. You can listen here.The truth is this. The Democrat Party is not the party it was just 30 years. And traditional Democrats exist without a political party. Today’s Democrat Party is an oppressive, abusive, Constitution-hating, fascist brand that wants to see the Republic hobbled, the elites ranked untouchable, and the Middle Class disappeared. Their leadership – globalists, and elitists all – want Lords and Serfs.Democrats used to pretend they cared about voting rights and free speech. These acts in Colorado and Maine prove the exact opposite and do so to the extent that Kennedys are leaving the Democrat Party.One question remains. Why aren’t congressional Republicans standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a unified voice aggressively attacking these unconstitutional acts?Sadly, I think we know the answer to that question.Coming up, our current segment on America’s Third Watch.

In this segment of America’s Third Watch, we discuss – among other things – the woke Left’s neverending list of phobias. Oh, sure they present as being these confident social justice warriors, but the fact of the matter is this. That confidence is a facade.Traditionally, the Progressives – now officially transitioned to “the woke” (I wonder if you have to have anything cut off during that transition) – project their actions, thoughts, and fears upon their opposition. When they screamed Russian collusion it was Hillary Clinton and the former FBI counterintelligence chief who were doing the colluding. When they pointed fingers at Donald Trump about grifting the Ukrainians, it was Hunter Biden getting paid to do nothing.And just like the midlife-crisis 1970s male who had to buy a Corvette to “compensate” for what we will label “shortcomings”, the woke Left is continually overcompensating in their championing of just about every special interest demographic known to man. This is where the phobias come in.Islamophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, you name it. If you can attach “phobia” at the end of something, at some point during a political, social, or cultural disagreement with a woke Leftist you will be labeled some sort of phobic.But this doesn’t make sense. No one “fears” Muslims. We may have an issue with the fanatics in our midst, you know, the ones that like to fly planes into buildings and blow people up, but no one fears Muslims. And how the hell do you fear a religion? I find Islam in need of significant reformation but fear it?Then there is the ridiculous notion of Americans who aren’t woke being afraid of people from other cultures and countries. We’re a melting-pot. We’re a nation of people from other cultures and countries. No one “fears” the illegals who are crossing our borders. We might be pissed off about it and rightfully so. They don’t respect our country enough to follow the rules but they want our taxpayer-funded aid? They want the opportunity for a better life but start by breaking the law? No, no fear. Just resentment.And who the hell is afraid of Dylan Mulvaney? Or the ridiculous Hunger Games wannabes Jill Biden had in her extremely bizarre Christmas video? In 2023, most of us have blown by the “homosexuals are mysterious” phase and are in the house of “who gives a shit” about other people’s private lives. Nobody cares. Are the activists in the demographics taking their demands that they have an overblown place in society too far? Hell, yes. But fear them? No, I don’t think so.So, please know this. When a woke Leftist launches a label at you that ends in “phobia,” what they are really saying is that they are afraid of you; that they have a fear of the logical. Lord knows they have Trumpphobia.And before we get into this segment of America’s Third Watch I want to direct you to an important piece, the lead at Underground USA today, titled, The Woke's Shallow Crusade Against US History Continues, which deals with the Biden administration’s immanent removal of a monument from Arlington National Cemetery commemorating the reconciliation of the North and the South after the Civil War.

Before we get into this current segment of America’s Third Watch, I wanted to preface a point that we touch on, which centers on the obnoxious trend of everyone needing to be a change-agent activist.Understand, I have no issue with people who see a wrong and want to affect change for the better. I applaud them. The world needs more people aware of our societal maladies and willing to sacrifice to affect positive change.But the keyword in all of that is “sacrifice” and the chief sacrifice is taking the time to understand the issue thoroughly. Too many people – especially GenZers and university students – allow their emotions to drive them without a comprehensive understanding of the issue that has “triggered” them.The danger in being only quasi-informed on an issue someone is passionate about is that this class of “activist” falls prey to the manipulative social engineers who almost always exist on the transformative Left. A quasi-informed “change-agent activist” is easily manipulated into being a useful idiot for those who believe the failed ideologies of socialism and communism can somehow – if done just a bit differently than the last time – create utopia.I touch on just such a useful idiot at the start of this segment; a purple-haired metal-headed Starbucks barista (and yes I am stereotyping) who believes that putting a political statement on a coffee cup qualifies as activism…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on America's Third Watch, I wanted to touch on an item that I believe is getting little coverage in the mainstream media and the coverage it is getting is convoluted.US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was invited to sit in with the Israeli War Cabinet so he could be informed on the next stage of Israel's campaign to rid Gaza of Hamas, this time in the south. What this meeting turned into was Blinken lecturing the Israelis about what they could and couldn't do, what they must do, and a time frame on when they needed to wrap this up.Blinken told them they could not use the same tactics they did in the north (which were successful). Instead, they have to execute more pinpoint targeted attacks so they don't have to evacuate civilians, so they don't have to go into UN buildings or hospitals or community buildings and government buildings; buildings that Hamas hides behind – and they want it wrapped up in a couple months.Actually, not even a couple of months. The Israelis said it should take a couple of months to wrap it up and Bllinken said, “I don't think you have that kind of credit.” Who the fuck is Anthony Blinken?! For that matter, who the fuck is the Biden Administration to be dictating to Israel – a country that was just attacked and had civilians slaughtered on the level of 9/11 for us (that's the equivocation, what happened on October 7th equates to what happened to us in New York, Shanksville, and Washington DC on September 11th, 2001).So, who the hell is the Biden Administration to be telling a sovereign nation how they have to fight their war against an entity that the US State Department recognizes as a terrorist group…officially?!Whose side are they on?? They keep saying they support Israel and that Hamas must be defeated but when Israel goes about defeating Hamas (and Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades) the Biden administration and the radical Left and our country – the United States, who is supposed to be the chief ally of Israel over everyone else in the world – Biden sends money to Iran and Iran sends money and arms to Hamas and Hezbollah. How's that being an ally? How's that giving a damn about Israel's survival? How is that helping Israel get rid of terrorists that lob missiles into their civilian population? It doesn't! Are we tired yet of the politicians that lie, bald-faced, to us and then do exactly the opposite? It’s been happening for a while but it has been on steroids since the Obama Administration and now the Biden Administration. It's just out of control!It's time we know the names of the people behind the Blinkens, behind the Bidens, behind the Obamas; the people who have been pulling the strings not only through Obama's administration and Biden’s but who actively subverted a sitting president, duly elected, during the Trump Administration.This governing by committee and shadow government rule has to stop! If the confrontation between Hamas and Israel brings anything to light it has to be something that wakes up the American people, especially those who vote for people like Biden and Obama!And, so you know, this “social justice” scam is a canard; it's just a bully subject that allows the neo-fascist Left to do whatever the hell it wants when it wants to do it regardless of the will of the people, and that's not what we're supposed to be!It's time we take our country back and that's easily done by executing nullification at the state level so the federal government doesn't have resources with which to do this. That's why I wrote the book!Please read it. It's a solution to a runaway centralized federal government that would rather side with the World Economic Forum, Iran, and Hamas over free people in Israel and around the world. It's time we do something about it instead of just talking and whining about it!Then, on this morning’s segment on America's Third Watch, we take a radical pivot from the Israeli-Hamas issue and instead bring you to another piece of cheery news: what they're trying to do to our food; what they're trying to do to our health systems here, all coming back to the big corporatist World Economic Forum gaggle of assholes.Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before I intro this morning’s segment on America’s Third Watch, I want to point out the overt and deliberate attack on innocent Israelis in Jerusalem last Thursday by Hamas terrorists. This attack resulted in the murders of six people and the severe injury of five more.I warned of this in the run-up to the fake ceasefire. I warned that the cessation of hostilities was not as it appeared and, in fact, was a hudna: a perceived ceasefire that gives jihadis (and that’s what Hamas is, a group of jihadis) an opportunity to regroup, re-arm, re-strategize, and re-deploy.We witnessed the end of that short hudna with the murders in Jerusalem.The West – and especially those pro-Hamas/Palestinian protesters who exist in the intellectual void of college campuses and radical urban assemblies – have completely failed to understand the Hamas mindset.As Professor Denis McEoin, the Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Newcastle University, wrote at MEForum.org:“The jihad is waged against the entire world, but Israel has become its focus. Since the jihad is deemed unending, and since Israel is going to stay, there will be no end to the religiously inspired struggle. The Hamas covenant, for example, is unequivocal: ‘There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through jihad. Initiatives, proposals, and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.’“The best that the international community can hope to achieve is a political solution, but this cannot occur unless a way is found not only to control the violent tendencies of the extremists but also to rework Muslim theology and social thought. There is no Muslim equivalent to Reform, Conservative, or Reconstructionist Judaism. Almost all the great Muslim thinkers of the last century have been deeply conservative.“For Muslims, the challenge is to move from a worldview that sees all other religions and all non-Muslim people as inferior, Satanic, ignorant, and subject to Muslim conquest to one that coheres more closely with modern thinking in Europe, the Americas, and the Far East, where there is competition between nations and corporations, but where religious hatred is increasingly relegated to the history books. Others may have to abandon similar prejudices, but the extent of Islamic terrorism, its link to the provisions of the Shari'a, and the gulf between Islamic thinking on human rights and the norms of the original Declaration of Human Rights justify concentration on Islamic intolerance as a special problem. It is time for leaders to emerge within the Muslim world capable of guiding their people towards peace and humanity….“However, it is difficult to see how Israel or the West can have confidence in Hamas's long-term aims. Its position suggests a wholesale rejection of any mediated, peaceful resolution of the conflict.”Bottom line, Hamas and those who are of the devout jihadi mindset do not want peace with Israel. They want Israel – and the whole of the Jewish people anywhere and everywhere – not to exist. And the fact that the last election in Gaza resulted in the Palestinians voting overwhelmingly for a Hamas-run government, well, that is a statement that cannot be ignored.Now on to the dumpster fire that was Sean Hannity’s Great Red State – blue State debate.I don’t know of a junior high school debate team member who would have called what took place last night a “debate.” No debating took place. In fact, no issue juxtaposition was executed except for talking point bravado. The people, the consumers, the viewers learned nothing but that our politicians literally hate each other.The idea of having a debate has always been a good one. But with the introduction of spin doctors, Madison Avenue marketers, and the slash-and-burn, win-at-all-cost ideology of Saul Alinsky, politicians cannot be trusted to engage civilly in debate. They are incapable because they lust for power.Hannity had a chance to produce something significant but his guests betrayed his intent. And that’s something the Governors have to be held responsible for.In the future, and I mention this at the beginning of the segment, the American people – as well as the networks and the candidates – would be better served if a “moderator” scripted a set of questions to be asked of each candidate and then asked them one-on-one for an equal set amount of time. They could then spotlight highlight answer moments in a same-screen final comparison segment. Glaring inaccuracies might also be pointed out during this segment.If presidential “debates” were formatted like that, the American people would be better educated on the positions each candidate holds. Additionally, the networks could – I’m not saying they are bright enough to do so, but they could – examine and investigate each candidate's campaign planks to illustrate or expose any infidelity or fealty to their positions.Regardless, the present political “debate” format is useless and only serves to further divide an already fractured nati

Before we get into this Monday's edition of America's Third Watch – in which we debate the reality of Bidenomics and talk about the crimes committed by Hamas against the Israeli people, I wanted to point you toward the lead story over at UndergroundUSA.com titled, Not Just No But Hell No!It has to do with an initiative the United Nations is pushing upon the world – through its woke and globalist entities – that wants to take control of the definition of Free Speech; what you're allowed to say, what hate speech is, what you're not allowed to say.This is antithetical to a free world of sovereign nations. This is something you're going to have to write your Senators and Representatives about complaining loudly that the UN not only is a useless agency but is an organization that should be dismantled.[The UN] has no say whatsoever within the United States.

As a precursor to today’s segment on America’s Third Watch with Kyle Warren, I wanted to mention two things.First, please take some time to read The Anti-Freedom Movements Aren’t So Different, the featured story at Underground USA. It addresses the many and substantial parallels between the Islamist and Marxist ideologies and how the implementation of both – including their similar tactics and methods of indoctrination and oppression – have always ended in a dramatic loss of freedom and individualism. Simply stated, both ideologies subjugate the individual and kill freedom.Second, and this relates to the above in the fact that indoctrination – or more succinctly, brainwashing – results in a need for a re-institution of a person’s critical thinking ability. Once people have digested the Kool-Aid it takes great effort to free their minds; to liberate their minds so they can see things clearly; so the brainwashed can see clearly that oppressive and totalitarian ideologies are never the answer and, in fact, enslave humans rather than minister to them.In the third segment of America’s Third Watch this morning, a caller illustrates – perfectly – how propaganda and misinformation can adversely affect logic. The caller – whom most would label a conspiracy theorist – insisted that the Israelis don’t necessarily care for Americans and that the Carter administration toppled the Shah of Iran to install the Ayatollah and the present-day Iranian Islamic state.Listen to the certainty with which he speaks. This is the same certainty the pro-Hamas protesters and social justice warriors on US campuses, in US urban areas, and in many places around the world, have in their voices. They believe they are correct.This is a by-product of our society being duped into not discussing politics and/or religion with family, friends, and neighbors. False narratives and untruths are embraced without being challenged because no one dares to challenge them. And society loses the clear vision of right and wrong.Please note, and this is especially important with the holidays coming up. Discussing politics or religion with family and friends does not have to result in arguments and bad feelings. A civil person can discuss anything with an even and fair tone. But to do so it requires open-mindedness and a willingness to listen to others.Search for that modicum of common ground on any issue and build on that. You may not agree on everything, but if you can agree on something…that’s a start.Now, this morning’s segment on America’s Third Watch, as broadcast on the Genesis and Salem broadcasting networks…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segments on America’s Third Watch, in which we discuss not only Squad member and US Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI), incendiary X post published Friday but some of the lesser-known violent directives of Islam, I wanted to provide a link to the Kindle book I mentioned in the first segment.Women in the Fundamentalist Islamic Culture is the short book I discuss. It is available through Amazon in Kindle form or by subscribing as a premium member and accessing the bookshelf where you will find all six monographs I produced for the non-profit I ran in the 2000s and early 2010s, including:* The Fraudulent Senator: A New Media Investigation into Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senatorial Campaign* The United States Of America Is Not A Democracy* Understanding The Threat Of Radical Islam* Women In The Fundamentalist Islamic Culture* The Muslim Brotherhood & Wahhabism In America* A Brief Overview Of ‘The Twelvers’But back to Tlaib and her reprehensible post…Friday, Tlaib issued a post on X in which she accused President Joe Biden of supporting “the genocide of the Palestinian people,” warning that voters are “not with you on this one” in relation to his support of Israel. The post contains video of pro-Palestinian protesters marching in cities across the country chanting “from the river to the sea,” referring to the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River that includes Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank.“Between the river and the sea” is a fragment of a slogan used since the 1960s. The full saying goes:“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”The question then is this. What does that mean for Israel and the Jewish people?In 1966, the Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad, the father of the country’s current dictator, said, “We shall only accept war and the restoration of the usurped land…to oust you, aggressors, and throw you into the sea for good.”Hamas, whose drug-enhanced terrorists killed 1,400 people on 7 October, claims the slogan in their rejection of Israel: “Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea,” says the organization’s 2017 constitution.But let’s focus on Tlaib for a moment. She is an elected Representative to the US federal government. It is irrelevant that she represents a majority Muslim voting district in Michigan. An elected US federal official cannot – cannot – satisfy the oath of office or the obligations of the job and call for the genocide of a people.This – any way you look at it – is an act that should find her expelled from the US House of Representatives. Alas, that won’t happen because the Democrats align with her thinking. Even as some in her caucus publish letters condemning her rhetoric, in their hearts, they remain pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian, so they will not act against Tlaib but for a slap on the wrist.And Republicans, as we know, leave their political spines at the door when it comes to tough action against indigenous anti-Americans…just as Mitch McConnell, he hasn’t seen his spine since the early 50s.Then, this morning’s segments on America’s Third Watch, broadcast on the Salem and GNC Networks.Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into Friday’s segment of Amerca’s Third Watch in which Kyle Warren and I discuss a variety of subjects – from the worthlessness of the United Nations in the Middle Eastern conflicts, to the very real fact that regardless of what US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the United States cannot engage in a two theater global conflict, to the inexperienced narcissism of the useless opinions on world events coming off of college and University campuses in the United States, I wanted to highlight a soundbite for everyone to consider.I present a hot mic soundbite featuring US Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) – now Houston Mayoral Candidate Jackson Lee – in which she destroys any argument that insists she isn’t a two-faced bully.In the soundbite, Jackson Lee – an alleged supporter of tolerance, diversity, equity, and inclusion – excoriates one of her aids and drips that venom onto a second.This is the real Sheila Jackson Lee, not the measured camera-facing voice she puts on for the media. So, people of Houston, are you going to close your eyes, plug your noses, and vote “D” placing this unaccomplished bully in control of your city? Or are you going to be brave enough to elect someone who has the emotional and intellectual capacity to govern?Please consider that question.

In this episode of America’s Third Watch, Kyle Warren and I discuss a variety of topics including how retailers – especially in California and up the West Coast – are lobbying Congress to create federal law that would combat the current scourge of retail thefts plaguing America’s urban areas; retail thefts that can already be prosecuted through the enforcement of existing law.We also touch on the mounting evidence of corruption and graft being perpetrated by the Biden family and the question of how their million-dollar payments are being rationalized.And lastly, we cover some undeniable facts as they relate to the Palestinians, the Middle East conflict, and how history is calling bullshit on the arguments being made to justify the violence that has been a constant since before the creation of the nation-state of Israel.And I wanted to mention – and we have been promoting this in our mailouts – that I will be a featured guest in tomorrow’s episode – yes, the Halloween episode – of The Truth Summit, produced and hosted by Elsa Scheider.

Before we get into this morning’s segment on America's Third Watch, in which we talk at length about the coalescing of a new neo-Axis power joining Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, and a gaggle of lesser satellite nations to their whim, I wanted to point out that you're going to hear a little bit of a different quality on the ATW podcasts.We've instituted some new protocols that allow me to go directly through the board. I am in a separate studio from Kyle so this development, well, I think you'll be pleased because I don’t sound like I'm on a phone anymore…which is kind of nice.I also want to point you toward the lead story over at Underground USA – The Death of Mainstream Media Credibility. It centers a bit on the Israeli-Hamas situation but as you get deeper into the article it starts to talk about why we're in the place we're in, where the media can't be trusted, and who brought us to this point.It's got some meat to it and I think that when you have discussions with people who are not of like mind (and I hope you're doing that) some of this information will be useful. And, of course, remember that in the second podcast of the week, we've got a new feature called Corner of the Bar where we talk to people from all walks of life about their concerns and what's interesting and concerning to them so that we can get a pulse of what Main Street is thinking, not what the polling industry is saying and not what the pundit industry is saying and, ironically, not what the “un-credible” mainstream media is saying.

After our regular segment on America’s Third Watch with Kyle Warren, we’re going to try something a little new. This is what I was referring to in my last mailout about trying something a little different; a little unique.We're not deviating from what we do, we're adding something. You'll still hear the twice-weekly interviews on America's Third Watch, but I'm adding a segment called Corner of the Bar (COB) in which regular everyday, informed, and passionate people are brought into the conversation about the important issues of the day so that we can all get an idea of what the mindset of everyday Americans are on those issues.These are the thoughts of the every man and woman, the people who vote, the people who go to work every day and who do life every day, not the opinions of the “opinion class”; instead of always what a pundit says, what a radio host says, what a politician says.It's just the corner of the bar; a very relaxed conversation that gives a voice to the every man and woman. I think it's about time we started listening to the every man and woman, especially those who do their due diligence and want to satisfy their constitutional obligation to provide oversight to our government. Their opinions matter. The opinions of educated voters matter.So, after our Friday segment on America's Third Watch with Kyle Warren, we are going to hit the Corner of the Bar…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

As we watch the atrocities committed by Hamas play out, it is hard not to believe that there is something much more nefarious underway. It is obvious that Iran is playing a significant role in the mass murder that has taken place in Israel but what is their true motivation for creating such a massive vulnerability?Are the Iranian mullahs telegraphing that they have nuclear capability in their attack on Israel, a nuclear nation? If so, what will their use of nuclear weaponry look like? Dirty bombs? IEDs? ICBMs?And was this act of inexcusable aggression executed because the Saudis were getting too close to Israel? Were the attacks a move to reconcile the Saudis with the rest of the Islamofascist, terror group-supporting cabal?Kyle Warren and I talk about that and more on this segment of America’s Third Watch, broadcast on the GCN and Salem networks on the Westwood One satellite system…And be sure to read my current article, The Cowards Of The Collegiate Left Ignorant & Entitled, over at UndergroundUSA.comTake Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into today's segment on America's Third Watch, I wanted to say something about Columbus Day and all the people who are advancing the false history that Howard Zinn came up with about Christopher Columbus committing genocide against the Native North American Indians.Christopher Columbus never set foot on North American soil. That's history. He landed in Haiti – Hispaniola beforehand, it’s now called Haiti. He made four voyages to the New World and never made it north of Panama.When you talk about the slaughter of Native North American Indians you have to start talking about the Spanish and the Portuguese, who were integral in the slave trade.So, to disparage Christopher Columbus for having had the courage to get onto an ocean, not knowing where he was going, and finding a route to the New World – even if it was in the Caribbean and not North America, it really is slanderous; it's a slap in the face to anybody who understands true history and, quite honestly, it's a slap in the face to Italian Americans because they celebrate him, as well they should.If you want to start pointing fingers at “greedy” all the way back in 1492, start looking at Queen Isabella, not Christopher Columbus.Do your research before you jump on a meme bandwagon because if you're espousing that Columbus came to North America and slaughtered Native North American Indians you're speaking an untruth that has been facilitated by people like Howard Zinn and a very jaded and disingenuous education system in the United States.Then our segment on America's Third Watch…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

As we head into the season of gotcha politics and twisted narratives; the season of smear and assassination for anyone daring to message the truth simply for its delivery, I thought it prudent – especially as some in my particular sphere are being scrutinized – to reiterate my experience and background.I have come to understand that this type of confirmation and reiteration helps readers and listeners consume my research, analysis, and opinion with a higher level of confidence.In reality, journalism and journalistic activism would be better served if everyone with a keyboard or a microphone occasionally reiterated their bona fides and experience so people would know why they should actually care about what the journalist or activist is saying.I am also doing this now to make a very important point; one that I have written and advocated for many times before. As Ronald Reagan put so succinctly, “Trust but verify,” or in other words, do your homework when it comes to verifying the facts being espoused and those who espouse them. More on this in a moment.My History & ExperienceI was born in a solidly middle-class neighborhood in 1961 to parents on their way up the societal and financial food chains. In the beginning – although I never really felt it – times were financially interesting, my parents having to borrow money in my infancy just to feed me.That would change very soon. My father successfully founded a company and broke into defense contracting, specializing in housings for battlefield and space exploration electronics and communications components.I went to parochial school until we moved to an upper-class neighborhood where I attended public school, excelling in the arts, and – for all intents and purposes – lived a normal – quasi-privileged but wholly grounded – childhood.I was deemed gifted in junior high school and high school and excelled in music receiving a plethora of awards and accolades, eventually attending college in Texas to study jazz music performance. I took early leave from college to play professionally and while doing so had the honor of playing with a number of musicians – both in the blues and jazz genres – who are included in music history books and in the various halls of fame.During this time, my parents became deeply involved in county and state politics, my mother rising to the level of Executive Director of the Republican Party for DuPage County, Illinois – then the 6th most Republican county in the United States and an “always stop” for all presidential candidates and those seeking statewide office. This is when I cut my teeth on politics, learning from the bottom up. From yard sign and petition duty to fundraising activities to strategizing at just about every office level including countywide and then statewide and national office campaigns. My interest in politics and government survives to this very day.(As an aside and more contemporarily, I served as the campaign manager and chief strategist for a 2018 Santa Rosa County, Florida commissioners race that saw an outsider win by historic margins and achieving a historic voter turnout.)But I am getting ahead of myself.Prior to college, I took an interest in fire and emergency medical services after my father suffered a severe myocardial infarction. I volunteered at a number one-rated ISO fire department outside of Chicago, one that routinely enjoyed a ranking of number one by the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s Office. With the ability to attend college, pick up music gigs, and participate in an organization that gave back to the community, I felt well-rounded, blessed, and fulfilled.Over that time I achieved EMT-A status and, because of the department’s rigorous training program, certified at the Firefighter II level. Both certifications are historically registered with the State of Illinois.But that soon changed as I was bitten by the fire service and my music career took a backseat.In 1987, I went full-time, as a firefighter and paramedic (EMT-P) for the same department for which I had volunteered. Over the course of the next four-plus years, I became certified as a Firefighter III and Fire Apparatus Engineer while attaining advanced levels in the areas of Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS). Additionally, I was trained in rapid water rescue, rescue scuba diving, hazardous materials awareness, EMS helicopter safety, advanced rescue techniques, and various other specializations.As it happens to some who become so immersed in the EMS life, I burned out before my time was up where ambulance rotations were concerned. With three major highways traversing our locale, I saw my fair share of carnage; visions that are forever burned into my memory. I left the first-responder life for warmer climates in Florida where I temporarily worked as a harbor master.Fast forward to 2001, when the online news and opinion industry was in its infancy.After the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 – while employe

I wanted to touch on two things that we didn't get to talk about too much this morning.The first one was Gavin Newsom's appointment of Laphonza Butler, the director of Emily's List, to fill in for Dianne Feinstein's vacant seat on her passing. It's very good to see that Mr. Newsom, surviving a recall for being so incredibly partisan, has chosen someone who is even more partisan than he to fill the seat; to represent all of the people from California. Last I looked California wasn't all Democrats, or all Progressives, or all insane, Leftist, neo-fascists. There were some Republicans there.So, the leader of Emily's List, one of the most radical groups in politics today, to fill that seat? Why what a great choice Gavin! You'd be a great president! Not…And now on to the next absurdity, and we hit on this a little bit right at the beginning of the program, but the idea that you can mistake a fire department pull box for a doorknob is something that is beyond anybody's comprehension. A third grader knows what a fire alarm pull box looks like.To have a sitting member of Congress try to pretend that he didn't know that the big red pull station – that says “FIRE: Pull in Case of Emergency” – for him to think that the emergency pull station opens a locked door? That's ridiculous!And then when you compound into this that he was (or he claims to have been) a high school principal and he doesn't know what a fire department pull box is? If you believe this then you are the problem in our country today because it's an absurd statement.And then Alexandria Casio Cortez (say that in the voice of Sebastian Gorka) to try to defend this? It all just illustrates how incredibly stupid they believe you are! They don't care about representing you. They don't care about serving the people. They only care about pushing their agenda through and they think you are stupid.So how can they have any fidelity to what the Framers wanted when they constructed a system of government that is predicated on compromise?Win at all cost is Alinsky bullshit and that's what was ushered onto us with Alinsky and his chief disciple, Hillary Clinton. When they start floating her name to replace Joe “The Potato” Biden on the ticket – again – just remember that she's one of the most vicious and partisan politicians that we've seen in politics, probably back to the beginning.So, fire department pool boxes are red. I want everybody to understand that. And they've got a big “FIRE” across them and “Pull in Case of Emergency.” They're not meant for political emergencies where you're trying to stop a vote from happening.Bowman should be expelled for this. And AOC should be reprimanded for defending him.Then, our segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain’s America: Third Watch, I wanted to double down on some things we talked about at the end of the second segment.First, we need to expunge the idea that the Democrat Party is the political party that champions the working and average man. This idea is so far from the truth it would take a Space X rocket just to see where it was 50 years ago.The Democrat Party, today, is the party of corporate coercion and wealth; of rewarding their political benefactors and placing the most extreme elements of our society above every other demographic that comprises the United States.They are the party of globalism and one-world government; of centralized government and authoritarianism. At every turn, they seek to attain more power over the people and, by doing so, to whittle away at our individual rights making the Bill of Rights a work of fiction.Today’s Democrats are, in fact, neo-fascists who use private-sector cronies to impose their will onto the people when their attempts at legislation fail.The concerning point that we talked about this morning is that the Republicans of the “Uniparty” federal government are no better; they are just less egregious in their actions making them the lesser of the two evils when it comes to choosing.This brings me to the second point and one that bears stating again. The core of the Republican purpose – going back to its inception – is to maintain limited government; to affect less government in our lives. This means fewer but better laws, less regulation, lower taxes (if any), and the protection of sovereignty.Today, the federal GOP is floating minimum wage bills that puke on the notion of a free market. They have failed to even repeal Obamacare as a whole and continually find ways to allow the neo-fascist Left to “compromise” their way into incrementally subjugating the citizenry even as they redistribute wealth to those who refuse to participate in our economy.This is why the only platform message I care to hear from any of the GOP presidential candidates – and actually, this goes for all of the GOP candidates at any level of government – is this: Less government, more freedom.It’s time we started seeing the repeal of laws, not the creation of more, and it is absolutely time to restructure our tax system to forbid the elected class from creating new taxes or expanding the taxation that already exists. Neither party can be trusted to come through for the American people on that point.Less government. More freedom. Fewer and limited taxation. If that’s your platform and you explain how you will adhere to those principles, then you have my vote. Otherwise, don’t even knock on the day to ask.Our Monday segment on The Captain’s America: Third Watch, right after this.

Before we get to this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I want to say a few words about what can only be seen as the pre-eminent national disgrace and his actions on the 22nd commemoration of the September 11, 2001 attacks.Joe Biden – President Potato Brain – and this cannot be repeated enough, is the first sitting president to snub 9/11 ceremonies at any of the attack sites. Oh sure, he took a few minutes out of his nap time to read the words loaded into the teleprompter on the subject – but those words were both manufactured by a speechwriter and disingenuous, otherwise they wouldn't have been delivered from Alaska, equivalent to about as far away from the attack sites as you can be.Then, to add insult to injury, Biden lied about being at Ground Zero on September 12, 2001. That he can lie, bald-faced to the American people and the attack victim survivors, with such ease should put him into the category of “scum of the Earth.”Then, to double down on the insults, Biden and his puppet masters released billions of dollars – on 9/11 – to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world – Iran.I won't even go into the horrifying retreat from Afghanistan that he and his intellectually stunted mouthpieces – all opportunistic whores in my book – called a major success. The only "success" there was successfully handing the country over to the Taliban and arming them with billions of dollars on A-grade American military equipment. If you voted for this opportunistic piece of garbage – this national disgrace – you must take a look at yourself; what you believe in and why you vote for people.If you are simply voting for the letter behind the name – the D or the R – just because of the D or the R then you are a major part of the problem. Let me say that again. You are part of the problem.President Washington warned of the evils of political factions taking complete control of the federal government in his Farewell Address. Today, we are reaping what we have sown through our arrogant, self-centered, and self-absorbed abdication of our primary responsibility as citizens: the oversight of our government. We have allowed the greedy, opportunistic, and power-hungry to wrestle control of government away from the people and our country is dying for that lack of oversight.For the love of God, people, research your candidates, what they stand for, who is financing them, what their actions prove they really stand for, and only then cast your ballot. This is true for voters from both sides of the aisle.We were never supposed to be subjugated to the will of the political parties. In my opinion, they are akin to the labor unions; they served their purpose in their day but have become greedy, self-important, and obsolete for today's purposes. If they disappeared the American people would be so much better off.Joe "the potato" Biden, Chuck Schumer, Mitch "the turtle" McConnell, Nancy "Smirnoff" Pelosi, the Squad, Fetterman, they are all proof positive that politics over government has completely failed the American people.To save the Republic, this must change.Now, this morning’s segment on The Captain’s America: Third Watch… Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into Monday’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce I wanted to elaborate a little bit about something we talked about – or I guess I ranted about – in this segment and that is the attempt by the politically manipulative to move us back to masks and “Hey, let's take another variation of a booster!”You need to think for yourself and that means taking some time to read the studies that have come out since the “pandemic.” There is an abundance of studies that prove, beyond any doubt – and Fauci has actually come out and said this on a number of occasions, most recently I believe a couple of Sundays ago, that masks do nothing but elevate your CO2 level when we're talking about viruses like COVID.The virus is smaller than the apertures in the masks and that means it goes freely through that membrane. So, all you're doing is inhaling recycled breath which has more CO2…which is bad for you.As far as the vaccines are concerned, unless you've been living under a rock you understand that they really don't do anything! Young men are contracting myocarditis, young women who are pregnant are passing this mRNA to their fetuses. This is not good.This is what happens when BigPharma rushes something through the developmental process. It's ridiculous that they're even thinking about trying to force this canard onto the American people – again – in order to politically manipulate us.It has to stop!I will not comply! You should not comply. No one should comply with a CDC mandate that they don't even have the authority to issue. The CDC is not the overlord of all things medicine. Neither is the AMA, by the way. They can advise but they can't order anyone to do anything. Neither can the Executive Branch of our federal government. They've been acting unilaterally for quite some time now – and this goes back several presidencies, not just Joe Biden's. The federal government is wildly out of control.That's one of the reasons I wrote the book Nullification. It's on Amazon. Please, pick up a paperback copy, read it, and then send that paperback copy on to someone in your state who you believe has fidelity to the US Constitution. It is the answer to a totalitarian neo-fascist federal government that is slowly but surely whittling away your rights because, well, they just can… no they can't!So, burn the masks! Sue the people who say you have to wear a mask! Enough is enough!It's time to dig in the heels and say, “No more!” We're not going to crush another economy just because some senile old jackass, who currently occupies the White House, wants another shot at destroying our country!Then, Monday's Labor Day edition of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this segment of The Captain’s America: Third Watch, I want to say a couple words about the lead piece over at UndergroundUSA.com, We Won’t Get Fooled Again: I Will Not Comply. We talk about that in this segment as well.There is no reason for our federal government – or even our state governments – to be mandating anything about COVID ever again. We've already seen the lawsuits come down on the side of the people who filed the lawsuits because they lost jobs. We've seen the Judiciary slap down the Executive for the orders they issued using the organizations they used in order to force their will upon the people. And we've seen where the public has boycotted companies that not only mandated the jab but the use of masks and how they suffered the consequences for totalitarian actions.Study after study has come out saying that masks didn't work and that's just common sense because the apertures used in the popular masks are much much larger than the virus itself. The use of masks made no sense. It actually caused more damage than good because it caused you to breathe in more CO2. That’s very bad for you, especially children.We're finding out now that the vaccine is affecting pregnant women and women who are seeking to become pregnant because the mRNA vaccine is being passed on to the fetus through the placenta and the bloodstream.We see myocarditis erupting in young men. The side effects of these vaccines grotesquely outnumber the points of benefit.And we're seeing that natural immunity is superior treatment for this; that Ivermectin – even the FDA has had to come out to admit this even though they massage their language to achieve plausible deniability – but they came out and said, “You know what? Doctors, they can prescribe ivermectin for COVID,” and this is after it's been proven again – in study after study – that the cocktail of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and high-dose vitamin D is much more effective than any vaccine.And lastly, we've seen that the vaccines just don't work! They don't prevent COVID. They don't prevent the passage of COVID. It's ridiculous! And now they have a new variant out?You know what? Everybody's got some level of natural immunity to this. So, wash your hands. If somebody is sick, treat it like the flu. If somebody is sick, don't get in their face. And if you're sick don't cough in people's faces; don't sneeze in people's faces. Have a little civility when it comes to being sick. But if you take your precautions for the regular flu then you've done everything that you possibly can to prevent COVID.Make no mistake. This ramp-up of covid “fear porn” again is all centered on the 2024 General Election because that way they can keep the drop boxes out there; they can continue to normalize ballot harvesting.It's really sickening when you think about how stupid they think the American people are.So, go over to UndergroundUSA.com and read the piece, We Won't Get Fooled Again: I Will Not Comply.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to reiterate how important it is to come to the aid of our fellow Americans living on Maui in Hawaii.The devastation from the tragedy that happened there – an act of God – is enormous. It was described by my sister, who lives on the island, as a natural disaster genocide.Eyewitnesses said that a fireball freight-trained through Lahaina giving people no time; there was just no way out.This is a disaster of dramatic proportions and just like Americans always do when we are faced with a tragedy like this we come to the aid of our fellow citizens.So, do your research on some good organizations over there. I know Tulsi Gabbard has an organization out there that looks pretty good. I steer away from the Red Cross because of the percentage of the dollar that actually gets to the people. The Salvation Army is always a good place to give your money. But look for people who are explicitly seeking to help the people of Maui.With that in mind, when we go forward to rebuild the island paradise, let's make sure we are respectful of the indigenous culture there because they've been there a very long time. It's important to honor their heritage.Then, this morning’s segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on something we talked about this morning and that is the divide that is starting to foment in the Democrat Party.The neo-fascist Left of the Democrat Party – formerly known as the Progressives – which has run roughshod over the Democrat Party for the last, at least, thirty years, are a minority. They're a vocal minority; they're a bully minority, but they are the minority.Traditional Democrats haven't been represented in their party for quite a while. Now we have a moment in time when their incumbent candidate, Joe Biden, is thoroughly incapable of running for re-election (he was incapable of running for election the first time but that's beside the point).They have a viable candidate in Robert F Kennedy Jr. but the hard Left doesn't want Robert F Kennedy Jr. because he's a traditional Democrat. He's not a neo-fascist Progressive. So, they're floating the idea of Gavin Newsom.If Republicans are smart – and boy the jury is out on that – they will help facilitate this fissure on the Democrat side. A full propaganda campaign, Republicans talking to their Democrat friends asking why the Democrat leadership is so tone deaf and literally deaf about Kennedy's candidacy will put them in a corner so they have to explain why they don't like Kennedy. Because when they have to explain why they don't like Kennedy they have to admit that they are extremists. No one likes to admit that.This would be the perfect time to give our Democrat – our traditional Democrat friends – and olive branch so that we can get back to government that centers on compromise and not division.Let's help them expunge the neo-fascist Left from their party. They never belonged there in the first place. They're an infection in the Democrat Party and they need to be expunged.So, let's think about how to do that and how to do it without the leadership of the Washington establishment because they want to keep the status quo going. If we want to get the country back to good we have to do it ourselves.On that note, be sure to pick up your copy of Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government available in Kindle and in paperback over at Amazon.com.Now, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

If you regularly read or listen – hopefully you do both – you know I am no fan of the Federal Reserve. From its genesis on Jekyll Island to its mishandling of crisis after crisis to its unholy relationship with the World Bankers and the globalist cabal at the World Economic Forum, at no time has the Federal Reserve ever sided with the people. They simply aren’t set up to do that, nor do they see any benefit in it.The Federal Reserve is not a government entity. It is a conglomerate of big bankers, assembled into a regional system that looks out for the banks. It is, by their own admission, the Central Bank of the United States even though no federal authority was given for the creation of a central bank. In fact, the United States had a decentralized banking system (if that sounds familiar give yourself a merit point) until the Federal Reserve Act of 1919 – thanks for the screwing again, Mr. Wilson.The Federal Reserve Act created the Federal Reserve System, responsible for managing the country’s money supply, making loans and providing oversight to banks, and serving as a lender of last resort. It also created a national currency and a monetary system that – they insisted – could respond effectively to the stresses in the banking system, creating a “stable” financial system. A later amendment requires the Federal Reserve “to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.”Just A Bang-Up Job…NOTAnd you’ve seen what a fine job the Federal Reserve has done in executing its responsibilities. Since 1919, we have seen the:* Depression of 1920* Wall Street Crash of 1929* The Great Depression of 1929 – the worst economic crisis of modern history* The Energy Crisis of the 1970s* The Recession of the early 1980s* The Savings & Loan Crisis of 1986* The Black Monday Stock Market Crash of 1987* The Recession of the 1990s* The Recession of the Early 2000s* The Dot.Com Bubble Burst of 2000* SubPrime Mortgage Crisis of 2008* And the double dose of Black Monday and Black Thursday in the 2020 Stock Market CrashYes, we see Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell talking about doing all he can to stem inflation, but the fact is the policies of the Federal Reserve put the economy into the unstable state it exists in today. And looking at that list of financial catastrophes, was anyone or any organization “bailed out” other than the big banks and gamblers of Wall Street? I dare say, no.Exhibit AThe subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 stands as a perfect example, although there were many more guilty parties to that fleecing of the United States than just the Federal Reserve. In that instance, the entire financial sector stood guilty of grifting the system; using other people’s money to gamble with and losing. In that massive economic “miscalculation”, people from all walks of life lost lifetimes worth of accrued wealth, all because of the avarice of Wall Street gamblers, their investment banker enablers, and – yes – the Federal Reserve.Consider this. Do you really know what a hedge fund is? In short, these are wealthy groups of people who half the time bet on an asset losing or “hedging” their “bets”. Those who manage hedge funds can literally make money off of a loss. How is it pro-American to hope that someone loses financially; that people invest money in the hope that someone fails? Yes, it’s more complicated than that but the fact remains, if that investment were used to support business rather than bet against it, how many companies would still be around today? How many people would be gainfully employed?Further, there are investment vehicles that are used that allow investment bankers and hedge fund managers to take great risks – placing very risky “bets” – with other peoples' money. A look at the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis is a perfect example. Massively risky financial actions by the biggest banks in the world ended in catastrophe, not for the major players – although some institutions were left swinging in the wind by their brother big bankers – but for the investors; the little guys.And what did our federal government do? Do you remember the first time the term, “too big to fail” was used? That’s right, the government used created Federal Reserve currency based on the future promise of extracting the bailout funding from the United States taxpayers.Additionally, we must all understand that when the US government throws financial commitments around on the world stage, that promise of the banks opening their windows to Third World and emerging nations is backed – at least since 1971 – by the “full faith and credit of the US government”. Of course, that means you and I; the taxpayers. Not the big bankers. Not the Wall Street gamblers. Not the hedge fund managers or derivative traders. You and I. The taxpayers.Digitizing Financial Cronyism & CoercionNow comes the US government and Federal Reserve’s want to establish a Central Bank Digital Currency or, in layman’s ter

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to expound a little bit on something we talked about on this morning’s show.We need to understand that everything we consume – everything that we buy when we go to the store, regardless of whether it's food, whether it's a product of another nature – it's brought to us by a truck.Trucks are essential. They go from point A to point B to point C to the endpoint; from the farm to the table, from the manufacturer to your house. So whenever the government – at whatever level, whether it's the federal government, state government, county government, township government – whenever they impose a tax on a trucker; whenever they impose a fee on a trucker; whenever they require more hoops to jump through, they're raising the cost of what you're consuming.And they normally tag these tax increases onto bills that do not represent the fact they're raising taxes, whether it’s on truckers or not. It'll be tagged onto a defense bill, be tagged on to a healthcare bill, be tagged onto an education bill, but no one ever comes out and says, “Hey, we're going to legislate a bill that raises the fees on truckers” or causes diesel fuel to cost more. No one would vote for it. It would be political suicide.When we talked this morning about this issue, I brought up a solution to this and it's something that's in my new book, Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government, available on Amazon – you can get it in Kindle version or you can get it in paperback.I hope you buy it and read it, and if you buy a paperback, you can send it on to your elected officials and say, “Why aren't you following this blueprint?”But I wanted to touch on that sneaky thing that the politicians do to raise prices; to impose taxes on all of us by third-party means.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

I want to give a special shout-out to the paid subscribers over at UndergroundUSA.com. It is appreciated. Thank you very much and thank you for being engaged.Before we get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to say a few words about the movie Sound of Freedom.I had the chance to go see it and it is a spectacular movie. It is a slap in the face to awaken not only a nation but a world to what's going on with human trafficking, especially where children are involved.The most disturbing thing to me – and there were many disturbing aspects to this movie because it is all true – but the most disturbing thing to me was the statistics at the end when it said that the country with an appetite for child trafficking and the exploitation of children of a sexual nature is the United States. I was not only shocked but angered by that.We need to be better than that. And instead of our media and our elite inner circles running interference for the most extreme of sexual natures – and I'm talking about drag queen story hours for children, among other things. No one can argue that I'm sorry. I just do not sign on with that. I do not agree with it.I don't care what you do to get your jollies but you can't push that on to children and on to the mainstream; you can’t say, “Hey this is normal. You have to accept this as normal.” It's not normal. I don't judge you good or bad for it but don't try to make me swallow the line of bullshit that it's “normal”. It's not.This whole transgenderism movement, statistics from a plethora of outlets – medical outlets, psychiatric outlets – say that only 0.6% of the population around the world is affected by gender dysphoria. Yet, because the media is pushing this, we have 7% of kids in high school and junior high school identifying as trans because “it's the cool thing to do now”. It's not that they're trans. It's just the “cool thing to do”.That shit has to stop because it's starting to normalize something as wicked and disgusting as child sex trafficking and pedophilia.We have people we send to Washington who are supposed to make sure this shit doesn't touch our shores but they do nothing. In fact, Disney had the rights to this movie, Sound of Freedom, and buried it until the CEO of Goya Foods bailed it out from underneath them; buying the right so this movie could be released. That makes me puke. Fuck Disney!Please go see the movie Sound of Freedom. You'll understand why I'm so angry about this. You will be angry too and you will probably be moved to tears in several sections of the movie.We can't tolerate this and we have to make a stand, together: Left, Right, and Center.It's not okay to sex traffic children. It's not okay to normalize the targeting of children for sexual exploitation. It's just not. Don't try to defend it with me.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce I wanted to say a few words about doing due diligence.We always talk about investigators – the FBI, lawyers – doing due diligence. But we, as citizens, have an obligation to do due diligence as well, before we post on social media.It is important to read beyond the headlines; beyond the first two paragraphs of any news article. You need to read whole articles before you opine on social media.There is so much minutia left below the fold in an article that because we live in an age of sensationalistic, clickbait headlines, the headline doesn't always represent what the story is about. As a matter of fact, the MSM exaggerates almost every headline.Every headline is written to have “Breaking News!” in front of it; to get you to click on it. Clicks mean revenue. Clicks mean ratings for news outlets. A non-story can sound like the end of the world. A huge story can sound like something completely different than what the subject of the story is about.So, please, before you opine on anything on social media – because truth matters, because the facts matter – read the whole article. Frankly, I always read two or three from different sources just so I can read between the lines.Please do your due diligence. When we don't, that's how government can manipulate us; that's how people like Klaus Schwab and George Soros and the rest of the World Economic Forum crowd can manipulate us. It's time that we keep them from manipulating us.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on an item in the news centering on the Archbishop of York which is a hierarchy position in the Church of England.The current Archbishop, in an interview, took issue with the Lord's Prayer and the words that open the Our Father saying that they were “too patriarchal” and they could “offend people”.I don't know that arrogance is a strong enough word for that statement but it does illustrate the intense arrogance and self-centeredness and selfishness of the woke movement.Jesus Christ was the one who handed down the words of The Lord's Prayer. Is the Archbishop, who is supposed to be someone who serves Christ, in a position to question the words that Jesus Christ used in the primary prayer that all Christians know?The Pope doesn't even have that kind of authority; to look at the words of Christ – the direct words of Christ; the direct words of the Savior – and say, “I wish Jesus really would have thought this through a little bit better so that he wouldn't have offended people”.When a movement can be offended by Jesus Christ – the most compassionate figure in all of human history – then something's wrong with that movement not something wrong with what Jesus Christ said.The woke movement is out of control! The people who adhere blindly to it are some of the most jaded, self-centered, selfish, megalomaniacs that I have ever run into. They can never be wrong. They always have to be right.Quite honestly, I'm done putting up with them and you should be too. When someone comes at you with wokeness stuff it right back down their throat! Tell them how childish and selfish and self-centered they’re being and how most of what they believe is not only divisive it's hateful.So, if you're woke you may want to take this warning to heart. Stay away from me! You're a cancer to a healthy body and personally, I hope that your movement dwindles so that the number of you is so few that you feel the kind of “canceling” that you've been trying to do to anyone who doesn't sit down and listen to your two-year-old temper tantrums.Woke is dead!

Before we get into this segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch, I wanted to announce the launching of my new book, Nullification: The Case For Decentralizing The Federal Government, now available at Amazon.com in both print and digital editions for Kindle.It's an important argument that I've been talking about a lot on Matt's show and in my writing. Utilizing nullification can help the states claw back power from an overreaching federal government. It is a tool that our Founders and Framers knew was valuable going all the way back to Madison and Jefferson. They argued for this ability. They argued to reserve the right of nullification for the states so the states could say to the federal government, “No. Your infringing on the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and we are not going to honor your authority in that vein.It's something the states can use today and, as I say in the book, California, Illinois, and New York have already set the precedent for the use of nullification in the way they're handling immigration; as sanctuary states, along with all of the sanctuary cities within them. If a state can say no to the federal government when it comes to immigration they can indeed say no to the federal government when it comes to EPA edicts, power grabs that try to take firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, and even the woke ESG and LGBTQ+ agendas that the federal government is pushing so very hard.And then there's the issue of censorship.Nullification is something the states can use to fight back against the federal government.So, please get a copy of Nullification: The Case For Decentralizing The Federal Government, read it, and then send it to the chiefs of staff of the governors in your states. Send them to anybody who you trust in state government. Ask them to read it and ask them to push this initiative forward.This is one thing you can do to help right the wrong direction of this federal government; to right the ship back to the Constitution.

Before we get to today's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite speeches from the movie series John Adams.If you haven't seen it, it is a must-watch over the Independence Day weekend. It's a great depiction of what the Framers and the Founders – and the people of what is now the United States – went through in order to just embrace the privilege of Independence.Please listen to this speech, it is a reenactment of John Adams executing his speech in the Continental Congress just before the vote on Independence, which took place on July 2, 1776, not July 4. They needed two days to print the Declaration in order to get it out to the public. July 4 is when they announced it.This is a moving speech and one that led to 12 colonies voting for Independence and New York abstaining because of the threat the British posed to them at the time.Independence Day is much more than a date. That's why I don't say “4th of July”, I say “Independence Day”.It's important for us to recall what those people did for us at that moment in time; the seriousness and the reservations they had going forward. They knew it wasn't going to be easy. They didn't even really understand if they could win or not as they were going up against the most powerful military on the face of the planet.Yet they did. Because freedom is worth that cost.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this segment of The Captain America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to share with you a clip from the late Antonin Scalia in which he talks about the benefits of gridlock at the federal government level.I've said this a few times. I'd rather Congress not do anything than keep doing what they're doing. They are spendthrifts and they are spendthrifts toward special interests. They no longer are good stewards of our tax monies and we must slow their spending down.We must also slow down their want to create legislation. We don't need them to constantly be creating legislation. We need them to craft good legislation which takes time, compromise, and a vast knowledge of the subject they're talking about.That doesn't happen today.So, please listen to the words of Antonin Scalia; wise words from someone gone way too soon and someone who was so good for our country.And keep these words in mind next time you hear someone from Washington in front of the microphone saying, “We must pass this legislation; We have to get this done before the break; We must get this done before we have recess!”No, we don't!Then, today’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to say a couple of things about the quality of the spines that Republicans in Washington DC have.First, I want to talk about Adam Schiff. Here's a guy who has been proven – beyond doubt, repeatedly – that he is a serial liar. The guy couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it. And what does the House do? They censure him.Okay, great good move. You need to call him out on it; make sure that he has to wear “The Scarlet Letter”. But what happens to him? What punishment does he face?Honestly, Schiff should have been expelled. He should have had to petition to get back into Congress. His conduct sucks. He's not representing his people, he's representing only the far Left faction of his party. So, he's not fulfilling his oath of office.Then we need to look at John Durham.Okay, he finally came out and gave us his report and his report says – point blank – that there was no reason for the FBI in the DoJ to go after Donald Trump on the Russian collusion charge, etc, and that we should have been focusing on Hillary Clinton because not only did she mishandle a ton of classified and top secret document emails but she also constructed the entire interference into the election with the Russian collusion hoax.But again, what happens? Who gets held accountable? Who gets fired? The entirety of the upper-level DoJ should have to go but that's something Donald Trump should have done on his first day of office; thank them for their service and let them go or reassign them to, oh, I don't know, American Samoa!The Democrats, on the other hand, even when they don't have evidence of something, impeached a sitting President – twice – purely for political purposes.Do you see the two different games being played here? One is filled with action – even if it's not warranted and illegal and unconstitutional – and the other one is all rhetoric with no punishment!In order to compromise both parties have to be seated at the table in an ingenuous manner. Democrats aren't ingenuous.In order to compromise both parties have to be seated at the table in an ingenuous manner. Democrats aren't ingenuous. They're not seated at the table. They're busy burning down the town. Republicans are sitting at the table – across from no one – saying, “Well, I guess we have to compromise in order to get anything done here in the swamp”.A perfect example of how this idiocy keeps moving along Down K Street and into the halls of government comes in Mitch McConnell; the absolute worst Republican in Washington. If Kevin McCarthy doesn't want to be joined at the hip with him he better grow a set and start exacting punishment for the things being done by the radical Left in the Democrat Party.And Democrats?! You better start demanding that a debate take place between Robert F Kennedy Jr and Joe Biden. If the DNC flips you off like that by not holding debates I don't know why you're in the party…and it's your fault.So, Left, start holding your people accountable. Right, start punishing the people who break the law.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's segment with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch, I’d like to mention the lead article over at UndergroundUSA.com titled, The Not Ready for Prime Time Power Players. It all centers on information about the green energy movement that – I think we all have to be honest enough to admit – is true.As I've said before, I'm not against green energy. I'm just against downgrading our way of life to accommodate some people that I describe as eco-zealots; people who believe in climate alarmism and who have been saying for the last 50 to 60 years that we only have 12 years to go if we don't change our ways. Greta Thornburg is one of them. I think she's down now to like 2 years.These are the aggressive activists who insist that if you don't do everything they say and switch to an electric car (even though electric cars are charged by nuclear and coal and everything else) the Earth will be destroyed.No Greta, not really.So, please head on over to UndergroundUSA.com and give this a read, The Not Ready for Prime Time Power Players.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch, I want to point you to the lead article over at UndergroundUSA.com, Klaus Schwab: Why Does This Fascist Have Influence. Who is Klaus Schwab? What's his history? How was he brought up? What was he exposed to? What are his ideas? Where does he want to go? Those answers are part of the introduction that I give in this week’s featured piece at UndergroundUSA.com and which introduces a fantastic documentary that was released last week called The Great Awakening.It's made by the people who produced Plandemic. It's the third in the series. It is a powerful, powerful documentary that explains a lot.It explains why woke is happening. It explains the goals set forth by the people who believe they're running the world over at the World Economic Forum. And it lays out a roadmap for us to be cognizant of so that we can throw wrenches in that machine at every step possible. It must be stopped.This globalist, elitist, oligarchic, oppressive, totalitarian cabal at the World Economic Forum wants to usher in some of the most devastatingly oppressive stuff in the history of man and they're doing it using the model of the Communist Chinese today.So, please go over to UndergroundUSA.com and read Klaus Schwab: Why Does This Fascist Have Influence, and make the time to watch the documentary The Great Awakening. It is an important piece of information and one that you can use as a tool when you talk to people who've been affected by wokeness.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to welcome him back from an extended absence. He had some health problems and we wish him the best of health.As I told him this morning, I didn't know whether or not to give him the required rash of crap that firefighters usually give each other when something like that happens, just to place a little levity into the situation. I declined because, well, we've both been out of that business for quite a while…but we remain Brothers of the Badge.I wanted to also point you toward the featured article over at Underground USA, If We're Going To Push Back Let's Start At The Beginning.I talk about political correctness, how it popped onto the scene in the late 70’s and the early '80s, how it has morphed into something that opened the door wide open for wokeism, and how both of those selfish and self-centered philosophies allowed a very small group of people with very big mouths the opportunity to grab at the power to decide what is right what is wrong and, today, what you can believe and what you can't.Please go on over to UndergroundUSA.com and give it a read. It lands heavily on the concept of the unconstitutionality of hate speech laws and hate crime laws.Then this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with the returning Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into today's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, Kyle Warren sitting in for a recovering Captain Matt Bruce, I wanted to play a segment of a podcast presented by the Heritage Foundation.I agree with a lot of the things they do – not all of it; I don't like the super behemoth think tank kind of thing that sucks all the air out of the room for people who are doing independent research (they don't tend to support people outside of their own realm) so that's a minus for the Heritage Foundation – but their information is solid. They try to do good work and I think they're leaning more in the right direction than a lot of the other think tanks.The segment of their podcast relates directly to the featured piece over at Underground USA this week titled, The Fight Against Wokeism Should Be A Bipartisan Effort. This speech centers on the speaker's experience growing up and escaping Communist China.The speaker is Lily Tang Williams. She grew up in China and witnessed Mao Zedong's “Cultural Revolution” firsthand. A Chinese lawyer and law school professor, she was able to leave China and is now an American citizen. She speaks about her experiences and the dangers of communism.Wokeism is born of Marxism. They're just coming at itfrom a different way; a more cultural way.Make no mistake. Wokeism is born of Marxism. They're just coming at it from a different way; a more cultural way. What you're about to hear are Mrs. Tang Williams’ remarks from a panel held at the Heritage Foundation in December of 2021. The event was called Communism's Dark Tyranny and it was co-hosted by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.It's an important listen because she describes what it's like growing up behind the curtain of Communism and when you start to see the parallels, as I point out in my piece – which I wrote before I listen to this podcast, when you see the parallels between the Marxist revolution, the creation of Marxism back in the late 1800s, and Mao’s communist-led revolution – his so-called cultural revolution, both “revolutions” killing tens of millions of people while they oppressed everybody under their domain; squashing freedom into non-existence, it is impossible to deny what is happening here in the United States today.Wokeism isn't emanating from the Left. It doesn't define the Left in the United States. It's nowhere close to the founding ideologies of what the Democrat Party was or is. It is a foreign ideology that has infiltrated the Democrat Party and captured its leadership.We must actively push back. Reagan was correct when he said we're never more than one generation from losing freedom and right now we're not expending enough effort to make sure that we preserve Freedom, not only for our children's generation but, quite frankly, for the end of our own.

Before we get into this morning’s segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, guest hosted by Kyle Warren, I wanted to say a few words about Memorial Day: what it means and how the woke segment of our society is affecting that legacy.Today is not a day for saying “Happy Memorial Day”. It's a day of observance; a day to remember the people who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could have our freedom; so that we could go about our daily lives even with the petty disagreements that we have politically.But one has to wonder what those who did make the ultimate sacrifice would think of our society today and especially the way the woke element of our society is affecting the US Military.It can't be stated more strongly. Our US Armed Forces are adversely affected by woke policies. There's no other way to look at it. The US military is meant to be the most potent and effective war machine on the planet, serving the forces for good around the world and especially in defense of our country. But the globalists and the woke within the governmental machine – within the “swamp” – are degrading our military capabilities by pushing woke ideology upon them: LGBTQ+, ESG, equity, diversity, and inclusion…The US military is a meritocracy. The best rise to the top or at least that's the way it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be about creating a falsely leveled playing field so that quota boxes can be checked. Our military and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice deserve better than what is happening today. They deserve better than to be led by commanders who would call the withdrawal from Afghanistan a “success”.We all need to understand one thing about the work ideology and this is very important.It's not a Left or Right thing. It's not a Republican or Democrat thing. The woke movement is a neo-fascist movement that is taking root in the very far Left of the Democrat Party.If we're to survive this onslaught of stupidity; of arrogant, ignorant, stupidity, then people from both the Left and the Right have to identify it as something that's attacking our nation as a whole not just one political belief system. And we have to push back.Just saying that you're not going to buy Coke or not going to buy Bud Light or not going to shop at Target, doesn't cut it. You have to take an active role in pushing back. That's a must. Otherwise, we lose.Today, we honor the men and the women who have fallen in service to our country. On Memorial Day – whether you are sitting at the beach or going about your barbecues or walking in the park – take a moment to give thanks and be reverent about those who gave all so that you and I can have some.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce Kyle Warren sitting in…we talk a little bit about the debt ceiling and government as a whole …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce – Kyle Warren sitting in for him, I wanted to expound a little bit on the Kennedy candidacy, how the media is not covering it, and why the media is not covering it.I've been saying for a very long time that the Democrat Party leadership is not representative of the Democrat Party rank-and-file. The leadership in the Democrat Party is very far Left. They are Progressive; they are not Democrats. Progressives are not Democrats. They just run under that moniker.They like to be a true big-tent party and you can see this with their inclusion of Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and full-blown admittedly Socialist Bernie Sanders. That wing has captured the Democrat Party.The Democrats are a legacy of the Kennedy family who were true Democrats. Yes, they were Left of Center but they were closer to the Center than the fascist radicals that now control the Democrat Party.Why aren't the media and the DNC getting behind a Kennedy candidacy? Because the fascist Left – the radical Progressive fascist Left – now controls the apparatus in Washington under the banner of the Democrat Party. These same fascist Progressives control media so they are just going to ignore the Kennedy candidacy hoping to get another term out of “President Oatmeal”.So, the more attention we give to Robert F Kennedy Jr's candidacy – and how he is a cognizant polar opposite of Joe Biden and the fascist Progressive machine in Washington – the better it will be if – God forbid – a Republican doesn't take the White House in 2024.This entire election cycle has to be about platforms; it has to be about policy. It cannot be about a media-controlled narrative that serves the fascist Progressives on the very far left of the Democrat Party; a fascist Left that is just foaming at the mouth to give the United States to globalism.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on the subject of media delinquency.Right now, the biggest story for the mainstream news media is George Santos and the fact that he's a liar and never should have been elected to Congress (another product of New York politics that New Yorkers should be ashamed of) when there are two stories out there that need to be exposed.The first is the Biden scandal – which is a scandal. It makes Watergate look like nothing. This is grafting for influence. This is “payola” if you remember the 70s; pay to play.The Bidens have been caught – red-handed – doing it but nothing will come of it because we have a corrupt DoJ and even the Republicans understand that if we impeach this idiot – this criminal idiot – then we have Kamala Harris, which is equal a disaster to what Biden was.You can watch for Democrats to begin to throw him under the bus very shortly and start to talk up Gavin Newsom…God help us.But a bigger story not being covered (and I have to give kudos to Reuters for this, which is an anomaly because Reuters has been caught fabricating things in the past) is that Secretary of State Blinken and the US State Department not only slow-walked information about the Chinese spy balloon flying over the United States and gathering information in real-time about our military bases, but they also placated so as to not “offend” the Communist Chinese.They rolled back sanctions against Huawei, the spying component of the Communist Chinese technical world, and they also rolled back sanctions against human rights violations and I'm talking about the enslavement of the Uyghurs.With all the talk of reparations for slavery – slavery that ended in 1865, beginning the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement but slavery ended in 1865 in the United States (by the way the only country ever to go to war to eradicate it and a leader in eradicating slavery around the world by that action) – with all the talk of reparations from the radical Left, the racist Left, the fascist Left, why aren't they up in arms about the existing slavery that's happening in China and in Afghanistan and in Asia?It exists today in South America in all of these regions. Where are they to scream that it must be abolished; eradicated? It's happening in real-time yet they're nowhere. They're more worried about a cross-dressing guy having the right to be on a beer can that’s not for sale…who's probably wearing clothes that were manufactured in China by slaves.We have our priorities unbelievably backward in this country.As China and Russia make totalitarian moves around the world to extend their influence, to destroy the free market, to destroy freedom, to eradicate free speech, we're worried about transgender rights which literally, from all the studies, encompasses less than 1 percent of the population.There's slavery in the world but let's focus on that.The media is pathetic. We have to have a revolution that ends the dominance of the network news media once and for all. And I think that's coming. Pay attention to what's coming down the pike here at Underground USA. There's going to be some exciting news coming in the future.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on something that we didn't talk about today and that was Joe Biden's interview in which he pretty much said – point blank – that Hunter Biden didn't do anything wrong and that he loves him.If you can’t hear the footsteps of a pardon coming, should Hunter be indicted and by a miracle of God get convicted, then you can't understand English.When people don't care about their reputations – and honestly the Biden's don't give a damn about their reputations seeing as how they just keep lying to the people while they have their hands in the taxpayers’ pocket, when people don't care about their reputations they use everything at the disposal to get ahead.The Bidens have been opportunists the entire time they've been in public life and probably before. So, the idea that Joe Biden would pardon Hunter for what he has done in facilitating that family’s incredible riches; riches the Biden family has acquired while in public service, now that's conceivable.Just wanted to put that on the radar going forward. Pay attention to the rhetoric coming out of the President because he has every intention of pardoning his son for the crimes he has committed.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce – in which we talk about the unholy connection between Vice President Kamala Harris and Artificial Intelligence, among other things, I wanted to point you to the featured article over at UndergroundUSA.com titled, The Separation of Powers Is a Thing.This subject of this article address is something that we touched on in the segment today in that the Democrats in the US Senate are executing a gigantic encroachment on the Separation of Powers in their hearings on imposing ethics onto the United States Supreme Court.Each of the three branches of our federal government is co-equal, which means no one branch lords over the other. There are checks and balances but there is no subservience by any branch to another.So, the Senate, the House – the Legislative Branch – cannot tell the Judicial Branch what to do or how to run their branch. The same can be said for the Executive Branch.Each of the three branches has a specific task and authority. The Executive Branch executes government. The Legislative Branch legislates laws that the Executive Branch has to execute (which brings up a completely different issue here in the fact that the Executive Branch is creating laws via regulation but I'm not going to get into that right now). And the Judicial Branch decides all matters of constitutionality regarding the laws the Legislature has passed and the Executive Branch has signed into law.So, for the Legislative Branch to believe that they can tell the Judicial Branch that they have to do things or they're going to hold back money? That in and of itself is unconstitutional.This is basically a power grab and that's what the article The Separation of Powers Is a Thing is all about. Please check it out. It's very important.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe
