What if the law Trump signed in 2018 ends up putting him in prison? Join us as we explore the implications of former President Donald Trump's recent indictment, which makes him twice impeached and twice indicted. We discuss potential political motivations behind the charges and the facts that have been revealed so far. We also reflect on the mishandling of classified materials and how it went from a misdemeanor to a felony under Trump's watch - the same law that might find him behind bars.

Do you ever wonder about the precedent set when a judge allowed prosecutors to examine Trump's confidential conversations with his lawyers? We dive into this in our episode, discussing how it led to over 30 indictments and the potential for retribution within the justice system. You'll hear about Trump's lawyers and their reluctance to take on this case, as well as the President's own words that could be used against him. We also touch on significant news like JP Morgan's tentative settlement with Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse victims and the Supreme Court ruling on race-based redistricting.

In a nation divided by politics, what role does power and fear play in shaping our future? We explore the power dynamics at play in America and the dangers of seeking raw political power. Listen in as we discuss the reasons many Americans fear being part of the minority and how this pushes us further apart. Don't miss this thought-provoking and informative episode that will have you questioning the state of our nation and seeking solutions to a brighter future.
