What is due process—and why does it matter more than ever?

In this episode, we break down the rights guaranteed by the Constitution when someone is accused of a crime, detained at the border, or simply under the jurisdiction of U.S. law. From the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to landmark cases like Gideon v. Wainwright and Miranda v. Arizona, we trace how due process became the legal safeguard between freedom and unchecked power.

We also explore what happens when justice isn’t blind, how policies like “wet foot, dry foot” tested constitutional boundaries, and why due process applies to every person—not just citizens.

Because without due process, justice isn’t justice.

It’s just power.

Elon Musk calls Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.”
He’s wrong—and we’re about to break down why.

In this episode, we unpack what Social Security really is, how it works, and why some politicians and billionaires keep mislabeling the one program that actually pays its own bills.

From government debt and payroll contributions to payout myths, this is the straight truth—in plain language, with a crayon in hand.

Did you know someone making $35K pays all year while someone making $200K gets a break, this episode is for you.

Tariffs. They sound like an easy way to make other countries pay—but that’s not how it works.

In this episode, we break down targeted vs. unilateral tariffs, what they actually do to prices, businesses, and supply chains, and why history shows that even the best-planned tariffs can have unintended consequences. From the Tariff of 1816 to today’s trade battles, we’ll look at how tariffs don’t just hit foreign companies—they get passed down the supply chain until, in the end, consumers pay the price.

So, let’s break it all down—brought to you by the letters T, U, and B.

State funerals are one of the rare moments when America truly stops to mourn, reflect, and honor its leaders. But how did these solemn ceremonies become what they are today? In this episode of Purposeful Resolve, we take a deep dive into the history, traditions, and evolution of presidential state funerals from Abraham Lincoln’s groundbreaking farewell to the modern-day ceremonies that continue to shape national mourning.

We explore the iconic traditions that have endured the riderless horse, the caisson, the catafalque, and the journey home and how they have evolved with advances in communication and transportation. From funeral trains to Special Air Mission flights, from word-of-mouth announcements to the digital age, every aspect of a president's farewell tells a story about their legacy and the nation they leave behind.

Join us as we uncover the history, the symbolism, and the personal moments that define these national farewells. Because when a nation pauses, it does so with purpose.

In this episode of Purposeful Resolve, we delve into the pivotal moments when America pauses: presidential farewells and inaugurations. These are not just ceremonial events—they are reflections of our history, mirrors of our challenges, and compasses for our future.

We’ll explore the powerful lessons and warnings left to us in farewell addresses, from George Washington’s caution against political divisions to Dwight D. Eisenhower’s warning about the military-industrial complex. We’ll also examine moments of optimism and unity in inaugural addresses, like Franklin D. Roosevelt’s rallying call during the Great Depression and Joe Biden’s plea to end America’s “uncivil war.”

But not all transitions have followed tradition. Some presidents left office without farewells, while others skipped their successor’s inauguration altogether. What do these moments of silence tell us about leadership, legacy, and the resilience of democracy?

Join us as we uncover the historical, symbolic, and emotional weight of these transitions—and ask the ultimate question: Are we listening? Because the future of democracy lies not just in the words of our leaders, but in the actions of the people.
