This episode focuses on the current investigation by the Manhattan D.A.'s Office and the grand jury in New York into the money paid to Stormy Daniels by someone tied to Donald Trump. Regardless of one's view of the former President, the way in which criminal prosecutions are being used more to target one's political allies or to score points with a prosecutor's political colleagues is a troubling trend.

This episode discusses the recent collapses of Silicon Valley and Signature Banks, why these banks failed, what it means for the rest of the banking industry, and what is really going on in today's economy. Where our federal government continues to spend money it doesn't have in the face of any perceived impending crisis, is the real crisis really what will happen when our national debt load finally reaches the point of posing a true national emergency.

This episode builds on the prior one about the United States' federalist system to highlight some policy areas being discussed at the state and local levels and legislation being adopted.  A brief survey of some of the more noteworthy legal enactments in our states will hopefully spark the interest in listeners to pay more attention to what is going on right in their own communities and to play a role in influencing those very important policy decisions.

This episode addresses the importance of our federalist system.  In a time where we seem willingly to have ceded power to the federal government to solve all problems, it may be time to consider the genius of our founders in reserving most power to the states and the people in order to limit the authority and size of the national government.

This episode briefly discusses the text and history of the Fourth Amendment in order to put in perspective current issues, related to new technologies and other changes in society, to consider how best to protect from government overreach into our lives.

This episode focuses on some recent headlines to discuss how truly bizarre the current state of our society is.  From Chinese spy balloons to harmful school curricula, the absurdity of today's news should be a wake up call for any of us who seek to protect, not only our freedoms, but our place in the world as a society positioned to lead when it comes to our systems and culture.

This episode discusses recently enacted or proposed gun control measures and the continued failure by gun control advocates to address the real root cause of gun crime, choosing instead the overly simplistic and often unconstitutional option of disarming law abiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment.  The episode also gives hope to protections of our freedom through gun ownership by acknowledging those states that have taken steps to ensure guns are only kept out of the hands of criminals.

An introduction to what categories of information can be classified and by whom, this episode seeks to serve as a catalyst to further discussion of whether our system of classification needs revision, whether there is a real problem of over-classification of information, and how concerned we should be when classified documents continue to be located in less than secure areas controlled by our former and current officials.

This episode discusses the history of political parties in the United States, the founders' - particularly James Madisons' - distaste for them, and the inevitability that people will always organize themselves into factions.

As with the prior episode, but with the other major party, this episode traces the roots of the Democratic Party and follows its evolution toward policies and priorities that may be more socialist than they are truly democratic.
