This week on FiredUp

- The DOJ released a heavily redacted copy of the Affidavit used to secure the Mar-a-Lago search warrant used by the FBI to search and seize additional documents improperly removed from secure storage at the White House by former President Trump and his staff. We take a look at the Affidavit to see what can be learned.

- Some pundits are predicting that FPOTUS Trump may well be indicted over the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago. The Daily Beast has an interesting article on what may be facing the former President.

- Its been two months since the Dobbs decision by the SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade and made abortion largely illegal in many parts of the country. Since then several states have enacted their “trigger laws” banning abortion at the state level. We look at the latest information.

- We also revisit a story we brought you last week where the state of Texas signed a law into effect that allows for private donations of signs or money to purchase signs is being challenged. Why the issue? The signs are only allowed to display the American and Texas flags, and have the words “In God We Trust”. A Florida man is testing the law by producing signs that have the American Flag, the Texas flag and the words “In God We Trust”. So what you say? Werll the words are written in Arabic. You see there is no prohibition on what language the words must be printed in…

In this episode of FiredUp:

- Congresswoman Liz Cheney lost her primary election to a Trump-backed newcomer. What will she be doing going forward after her term, and role on the Jan. 6 Committee end? We examine what she has told of her plans, and it may not be exactly what you’d expect.

- Will the US become a Christian country? There is an effort to make this country a Christian Nationalist nation including the efforts we discussed about a 2nd Constitutional Convention aiming at dramatic revisions or a re-writing of our founding document. We will examine what this means and how it might come about.

- The Biden administration got another win on the legislative front: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will dramatically lower health costs for those on Medicare or covered under the ACA. What does it mean and how will it help? Of course, the Republicans are not happy about it.

- New details and facts are coming to light regarding the Trump legal team hacking into voting machines in three key swing states after the 2020 election. Can we expect more in 2024? I wouldn’t vote against it. 

This week on FiredUp:

Sen. Kirsten Sinema (D-AZ) received over $1.5M dollars in campaign contributions from investment and hedge fund companies while she worked to strip tax increases on those super-high worth companies and individuals. Sounds like bought and paid for to me. What say you AZ Democrats?

While at a campaign rally this week, Beto O’Rourke dropped the MF bomb in a clapback to an Abbott supporter at the rally who laughed when O’Rourke described what an AR-15 does to a human child’s body. The video of the response has gone viral with some criticizing the choice of words O’Rourke used.

The big news of the week is the FBI serving a search warrant at the Mar-a-Lago residence of one Donald J Trump. The warrant cites criminal violations of three Federal Laws, most notably The Espionage Act. Reports are circulating that there were a dozen or more files marked Confidential, Secret and the highest classification Top Secret/SCI in the files seized. We look at the story and the warrant.

In response to the raid on Mar-a-Lago, Sem. Rand Paul (R-KY) is now calling for the repeal of the Espionage Act Law. We talk about this, although sources say it is unlikely to gain any traction.

On this episode of the FiredUp Podcast, we are going to open up a discussion on the efforts underway by conservative leaders and others toward a singular goal: a new Constitution for the United States,

We look at the organizations and individuals working to get the 34 State Legislatures needed to call a constitutional convention to order. We will discuss the potential talking points and what they might mean.

·         What does that mean for the rights of the people?

·         What Constitutional protections will be gone and what might stay?

·         Will the strategy work?

This effort could reshape this country going forward forever. Is this another effort to elevate the rich and powerful over the masses? We will start the conversation on this show.

On this episode of FiredUp, Steve has a full plate as he discusses 

- Tribute to Nichelle Nichols, iconic and ground breaking actress form Star Trek.

- The FBI investigates Russian political interference through a possible link to a St, Petersburg FL group

- More GOP election games reported where primary elections in 3 states were being refused certification. 

- Republican Senators (24 in total) renege on votes to pass the PACT act, which would provide extended and expanded benefits to veterans exposed to toxic fumes and waste in overseas burn pits during the Iraq war and Afghanistan conflict. 

- Teaser Alert – A Constitution Convention plan by conservative/Republican politicians has surfaced. The goal is to write a new American Constitution.  Much more to come on this.

This week’s show really does own up to its name as we get Fired Up over some important stories from the past week:

We examine a couple of stories that illustrate where the Political Right and its partisan Supreme Court look to move the country toward.

First we will look into a case that could “blow up our election law”. SCOTUS rejected an earlier case that challenged the States election process as “insufficient” but in a groundbreaking move called on proponents to go back, do more homework and bring a more solid case for them to consider. Not the first time this has been stated, but as the case would essentially federalize the states election processes, it is one with wide ranging consequences for elections in this country.

Next we will go back onto the scorched earth of the post-Hobbs decision and discuss a ruling in Idaho that eliminated all exceptions for terminating a pregnancy EVEN to save the life of the mother. Also, we look at a report from the National Right to Life Organization which stated that the 10-yr old girl who was pregnant by means of a rape and had to travel to Indiana to receive medical care. The NRLO wrote that the girl should have had the baby, and that she at 10-yrs old would “understand the reason and the benefit of having the child”.

We also look at the expected proliferation of election challenges by Republicans that lose elections, ala Trumps big lie, that will impact final election outcomes and generate an unknowable number of court cases to settle elections. Potentially overturning Democratic wins in the process.

We will look at so-called Model Legislation, pre-written legislative bills distributed to all 50 state legislatures for adaptation or inclusion wholesale into state law. This long standing practice, which leads to identical or nearly identical legislation adopted across many states poses a new posture for some  types of restrictive bills.

This week’s FiredUp Podcast focuses on:

The role the conservative Supreme Court will play as a backstop for Republican attacks on rights and freedoms post overturning Roe and Casey. Will the Court continue to seemingly be another political arm of the conservative right in this country?

Does this new right-wing reality pose threats? We discuss a proposed bill and a letter sent to a Texas law firm regarding their assisting women seeking abortions by reimbursing costs incurred. A not veiled at all threat to sue, disbar and impose other sanctions spells another tool for other red states to follow to enact their will over our liberties.

In Arizona, a new law will make it a crime to photograph or video record police activities in public spaces from closer that 8-feet.

Georgia State Reps demand that the Univ. of GA cease providing resources to a liberal group that has been publicizing the locations of so-called “Crisis Pregnancy Centers”, essentially anti-abortion advocate and pressure groups, where Pro-Life advocates can try to influence women who show up thinking these are medical procedure offices.

Finally we will give the first set of our tips on actions to take to communicate with your elected officials on the key issues coming in elections across the country.

On this episode, we focus on the top 2 stories (in our opinion) of the week:
