We have a movement that loves grifting off the pain of Americans without actually doing anything about it. We all recognize that the invasion and the political persecutions are existential threats to our existence, yet where is the plan of the conservative industry as it pursues influence-peddling on personalities rather than strategic outcomes? I first explain this through the prism of the latest news on the invasion. Then we’re joined by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend to explain how the GOP has utterly failed to deal with the political targeting issue. He has now changed his focus to the red states and has introduced a bill in Tennessee, SB 2804/HB2912, to ban local law enforcement from being deputized into joint terrorism task forces. Steve’s objective is to place the local sheriffs in the driver’s seat so they can decide which information to share with the FBI rather than local officers being sworn to silence against the elected sheriff while working on political targeting under the guise of counterterrorism. If all political stars and whistleblowers would focus on outcomes like Steve rather than on getting a viral moment, we’d actually relieve some of the pain we all claim to experience at the hands of our corrupt government.
