Ward Connerly, Founder and President of the American Civil Rights Institute, discuses the weaponization of race and state of politics in America. The long-time critic of Affirmative Action, says that the time has come to move on from this “poisonous” policy, saying that many misunderstand the ending of Martin Luther King’s famous ‘I Have a Dream speech’, commenting ‘free at last free at last’, with “that with freedom, there is an obligation or responsibility to pursue your happiness within the framework of what this country provides. But it's based on competition, and a lot of our problems right now are based on the failure of people to take advantage of the opportunities that are there.” Connerly comments that there is a generational shift happening within the younger African-American community, moving away from “civil rights” to “individual rights, individual success, and merit”. Connerly, says that Americans need to bring back to politics a “sense of community, that sense of, this is a friendly competition, and I’m going to beat you, because I think I'm right, but you're not my enemy.”

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), discusses the failure of Biden’s “Carter-esque foreign policy” on the U.S. economy, commenting that if an American “were to buy the NASDAQ Composite on the day President Trump was sworn in, you not only doubled your money, but you were up 130% in four years.” Compared to buying in, one-year-ago, on the day that President Biden was sworn in, “you were down, as of today, you have lost money and that doesn't include the 8% inflation that ate away the value of your money.”

Ken Starr, Independent Counsel for Whitewater Controversy and Former Solicitor General of the United States, discusses the ruling by the Supreme Court denying the appeal for Maine healthcare workers to challenge the vaccine mandates, saying that the ruling is “very logical” given the structure set up by the Founders, and seems to be a return to state sovereignty. Starr comments also on the recent attacks by Hillary Clinton against federal prosecutor John Durham, saying that this is similar to her response during the Whitewater Controversy in the 90’s, that “instead of dealing with the merits, you attack the prosecutor, you attack the prosecutors motives. So it's just the same play out of the old playbook.”

Robert Ray, former Independent Counsel for the Whitewater Investigations, discusses the Durham findings and comments on the politicization of the FBI, saying that when “you concentrate that amount of power in one person or a group of people, at that level, you better watch out and you better keep an eye on it, because all kinds of, you know, potential trouble is afoot.” He goes on to discuss that interference of this kind, is troubling for the United States bi-partisan efforts, that this “sort of conduct is a direct interference with the merits of investigatory activity, and it has repercussions that we've seen…it altered the presidential campaign and it continued on into the end of the Trump administration, all the way into a second campaign.” Robert comments that with such severe repercussions, it so important that the FBI is kept “away from the political process”, commenting that “an FBI that is left to its own devices can do some pretty dangerous things”.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) criticizes the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for its federal overreach, explaining why he filed the lawsuit alongside TX Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne. The Attorney General discusses how the CDC never “had the authority to issue these mandates.” “They didn't go back and demonstrate, the effectiveness of it” and “there's nothing in the language of the statute”, “drafted by Congress that authorizes them to take this level of action.” He moves on to discuss that not only is the mandate not enforceable but that the CDC exposing “criminal penalty” for not obliging “are made up rules”. Commenting “that's a problem too, because if you want to have that type of impact on people's lives, criminal penalties, you can't just issue that from” a federal agency.
