Sam Bushman and Lance Migliaccio (The Big Mig) break down three critical issues: the Pentagon's battle with the New York Times over press access, CBS caught editing Pete Hegseth's interview to manipulate the narrative, and federal agencies buying Americans' private data without warrants using taxpayer dollars.

They also discuss Cash Patel's failure to deliver on his "Government Gangsters" promises, the push to raise the military budget to $1.5 trillion, and ask the hard question — what has the Trump administration actually accomplished for We The People?

Sam Bushman and Sheriff Richard Mack tackle the biggest stories shaking America. The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on mail-in ballots — but why are we even debating this instead of abolishing mass mail-in voting entirely? Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch raised serious concerns about fraud, delayed counting, and ballot harvesting, yet Congress sits on its hands.

Meanwhile, a government shutdown looms while lawmakers prepare for recess, and the airline industry takes the hit. Then, a Minnesota saloon launches a brilliant "Dine Across the Aisle" promotion offering free meals to lawmakers who sit down with the other side — could civility be making a comeback?

Plus, mortgage rates are climbing again, the Federal Reserve has no constitutional right to exist, and the dollar's dangerous tie to oil is putting America at risk. Sam also shares his wild encounter with a Rolling Stone journalist who refused to even have lunch with him. It's a packed episode — don't miss it. Join the posse at CSPOA.org.

Sam Bushman and Sheriff Richard Mack break down the explosive truth about the EPA's lack of constitutional authority — and the Supreme Court case that proved it. With 24 states suing the Trump administration over greenhouse gas regulations, Mack explains why the entire debate is a sideshow: the federal government was already told it has no power to commandeer states into enforcing federal regulatory programs.

They also discuss Trump's restoration of the Christopher Columbus statue destroyed by BLM in 2020, the outrageous cases of Tina Peters and Joby Weeks, the crisis of public transit safety in California, and why America's constitutional sheriffs are the last line of defense for your God-given rights.

Sam Bushman and constitutional scholar Dr. Scott Bradley break down the expanding US-Iran conflict, the staggering $4 billion/day burn rate, the $200 billion supplemental request, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and the glaring absence of a congressional declaration of war.

They explore whether the "lack of planning" is the plan itself, how the petrodollar is at risk, and why the founders insisted war powers belong to Congress, not to a president who says it'll end "when he feels it in his bones."
