Nothing breaks trust quite like the way government does. It's one thing when someone close to you lies. It's quite another when government lies and then sues you if you dare question them. And this after telling you "trust us, there's nothing to see here." Really? So why not let people look. Trust in government is at an all-time low. (Perhaps it has something to do with threatening and jailing people who dare question them.) But elections absolutely should be something we can all trust. Including, and especially, the losing side. So why is government trying so hard to not build trust? But there are election solutions to rebuild trust. Listen to find out why a return to hand counting can rebuild trust in our elections. And help restore (a little) trust in government.

The pervasive influence of Marxism in America. From government spending to classrooms, it is rapidly influencing society. And now, it's part of the hiring process for teachers. Is our national debt part of the Marxist plan? Now, thanks to Joe Biden and the party formerly known as "democrats," Marxism in America is on the rise. In our economy and in our society. We see it in our schools, as states push woke ideology on our children. And now, Marxism is a a core part of teacher hiring practices. We see it in government regulation. And a key element of Marxism is to break a country so it can be refashioned into a socialist utopia. Except they don't exist and have never existed. But with our out-of-control government spending, we're about to go broke.

This week, it’s about getting an education - and pushing back on the woke society is pushing on us. In our school systems and pushing back on woke corporations, like Disney, that think they know better about what society needs than what we Americans think. But what happens in those board rooms? And just how much power do activist shareholders have — who want to make a company go woke or, conversely, stop a company going woke? We also catch up with the effort to get real school choice on the ballot here in Oregon. And how a terrible personal accident has reignited the effort.

Whether election fraud or Biden's email aliases he may have used to commit fraud, society is rife with it. Why aren't judges standing up rather than looking the other way? This week, it’s all about fraud. Election fraud. And the lawsuit to get Joe Biden’s emails where he used fraudulent names to conduct his “business.” Elections matter. Not only because you are giving someone else legal authority over you. But because trillions of dollars are at stake. If absolute power corrupts, how much corruption will 100 trillion buy? Could Joe Biden's fraud emails crack open the door to his corruption business? And will the 9th Circuit finally be the first to take election fraud seriously? And when it comes to fraud, all too often it’s judges who are enabling it. It’s yet more evidence of our two-tiered justice system. Imagine if Trump was emailing his kids with government information to profit the family.

We welcome back Pastor Richard Peil from Victory Baptist Church in Bend, Oregon. Last time we'd talked about getting Christians involved in society and especially politics. This continues that discussion, taking a look at the societal pressures for churches and Christians to conform to a woke society, not the other way around. The media reports are the Church of England and the Catholic Church — at the urging of the Pope no less — are bowing the knee to woke. Except that's not the whole story. Plus, there are strong and fascinating evidences for a Creator from a surprising source you won't want to miss.

From all appearances, Oregon's Board of Forestry seems determined to press forward with their disastrous habitat conservation plan (HCP), regardless of how much opposition there is against it. But there are still a couple of chances to stop it. We talk with Jennifer Hamaker of Oregon Natural Resource Industries about the looming vote in Salem this week and what can still be done to stop Oregon from abandoning its state forests for 70 years. Plus, where is all this heading? Are Oregon's other natural resource industries also on the chopping block?

Engorged with trillions of taxpayer funding, Climate Change has entered a new phase: Global Warming Totalitarianism. Lawfare and environmental "constitutional rights." Trained scientist and meteorologist Chuck Wiese debunks the Global Warming doctrine, especially as it is used as the blame for Maui’s fires and California’s rain. Hottest summer ever? Hardly. But why this matters is because of where those pushing this religion (it’s most certainly NOT science) want to take society. And if you listen close, you’ll hear the stepping stones of the path they’re laying down to Global Warming totalitarianism.

Ferale Nelson is a former communist activist. She returns to I Spy Radio to give us a deeper peek behind the curtain. She talks about what the Far Left really thinks of America, do they really infiltrate conservative organizations, and what about all that money from the government. And how conservatives can and need to fight back. Hint: unify!

Lisa Lettenmaier, a former accountant and current insurance expert, has been tracking Oregon's healthcare system for decades. We take a deep dive with her into Oregon's healthcare system and the completely unsustainable path its on — unless you want to eventually spend every penny on "free" healthcare.

This week, we’re looking into Bidenomics and what’s happening in the wider economy, what’s supposedly real (allegedly booming) and what’s real (it's not booming). We also take a look at the hand-in-glove relationship between Big Government and Big Business — as they partner to make each other stronger, bigger, and more powerful. Meanwhile, there’s small businesses and the taxpayer but government’s relationship with them is more hand-in-pocket. And, as one might expect, Oregon dropped two spots in the latest Rich States/Poor States ranking of state economies. We discuss why.
