Hunter Biden has become a weight on the Biden administration that threatens to send Joe Biden's 2024 reelection campaign crashing to the ground. Two separate IRS whistleblowers have come forward with claims that Attorney General, Merrick Garland was interfering with the investigation into Hunter, and that he was restraining the Trump appointed prosecutor in Delaware. This resulted into a sweetheart plea deal instead of more serious charges for Hunter, according to the whistleblowers. The whistleblowers also shared a 2017 'What's App' message with the Republicans that are conducting the investigation. In the message Hunter is communicating with a member of the Chinese Communist Party and he is making demands. Hunter tells the Chinese national that his father is in the room with him as a threat. This, of course, destroys the many claims by Joe Biden that he was never involved in his son's business. The press smells blood in the water. Could this be the scandal that brings down Biden?

When Barack Obama was first introduced to America nationally it was at the 2004 DNC in Boston, where he gave the keynote address. Obama's speech at the DNC that year was perfect; a little too perfect in hindsight. It was patriotic, uplifting, and hopeful. It was post racial, and unifying. It was exactly what America wanted to hear. There were many memorable lines in his speech, but the most notable is when he rebuked those who would divide us saying, "There is not a liberal America and a conservative America. There is the United States of America. There is not a Black America, and a White America, and Latino America, and Asian America. There is the United States of America." This line received the loudest applause of the night. Again, it was exactly what America wanted, to put aside our differences and come together as one America. It raises the question: How did we go from the unifying message of one America that night, to now having two separate Independence Days, two separate national anthems, and back to racial segregation? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #169.

Over the past 23 years the United States has added $28 trillion to the national debt. What did we get for that money? If we added $28 trillion to our national debt and had the best schools in the world, the best infrastructure, the safest cities, at least we could point to those things as something we got for the money. However, we don't have the best schools in the world, the best infrastructure, or the safest cities. Looking at what has happened to the United States over the past two decades I think it would be safe to say that the country has become measurably worse by every metric while we have added $28 trillion to our national debt, so it raises some questions that every American should be asking: Where's the money? Where did it go? If the United States is not enjoying the benefits of all of that cash, who is? Why is it harder than ever for middle class families to make ends meet, but there's hundreds of billions for foreign aid, foreign wars, and foreigners? Finally, what does Donald Trump have to do with all of this? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #168.
