What Can We Do?

Christi Grab was just your average American mom, wife, and caregiver to sick parents when her world was turned upside down by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB).

After being erroneously told the FTB had “lost” several of their quarterly tax payments to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, Christi spent over 10 years fighting the FTB to rectify their account and be refunded the monies they had overpaid in the process of trying to sort it out.

During the ordeal, after having to learn to navigate the whole labyrinthine bureaucracy of the CA tax system, Christi uncovered numerous fraud, racketeering, and extortion schemes that the CA FTB is engaged in. She ultimately took her case to the Superior Court of California where she acted as her own lawyer to litigate her case.

Did she prevail? You’ll have to watch the episode to hear how all this played out! While her particular case has been resolved, Christi has spent the last 5 years continuing to hold the FTB to account and helping others do the same.

This is the wild true story of a literal “taxation is theft” scheme that will make any libertarian’s blood boil.

Haley returned to her woke alma mater, DePauw University, at the request of her former collegiate tennis coach to celebrate his retiring. 

Haley recounts the story of how she used her Hall of Fame leverage during the Covid pandemic to voice her strong disapproval over her university's handling of the pandemic. 

And what happened when she ran into that same AD while back on campus for her coach's retirement ceremony (spoiler alert: it was frosty!).

It's such a shame what universities have become and Haley gets whistful while reminiscing over her by and large awesome collegiate experience while she was a student (despite getting a liberal indoctrination). 

No video for this episode, podcast format only. 

Michelle Stiles might be an unlikely figure to write a thorough treatise on propaganda, having a background in exercise science and biology. But her skeptical nature and curious mind led her to research this topic and take us down the long, winding road of propaganda, starting from WWI up until our modern day vast, omnipresent network.

"One Idea To Rule Them All" is an exceedingly well-researched book. She pulls out the central figures and ideas in creating the propaganda machine and lays it bare in an easy to understand manner for the lay person.

We discuss some of the important concepts covered in her book like "idea bullying", Operation Spider's Web, and the Infrastructure of Belief.

There has never been a greater need to understand how we're being propagandized than right now. Using Covid as one example, Michelle walks us through how the propaganda machine works.

"It's impossible to defend against a threat you don't understand."

It's Haley's first ever solocast!

In an effort to stay consistent and put out content on a more regular basis, Haley will be doing solocasts on the weeks where she doesn't have a scheduled guest.

This way, there should be something out on a weekly basis.

Today Haley talks about the big news that Ron DeSantis has officially dropped out of the GOP Primary race for President. Haley contrasts Ron DeSantis's campaign with Vivek Ramaswamy and Javier Milei's unexpected political rise.

If you like this first ever solocast, send an email and let us know at [email protected]!

Diego Rivera has been in the liberty movement as a grassroots coordinator for over 10 years.

After serving as an Army Ranger during Operation Iraqi Freedom, he came back, got his Bachelor’s degree in psychology, and shortly thereafter parlayed his armed forces experience and education into working on grassroots political campaigns, including Rand Paul’s in 2016.

Diego has been instrumental in getting Defend the Guard legislation off the ground and scoring legislative victories in several states in his quest to force the federal government to adhere to the Constitution.

We have a thoughtful conversation about what it means to fight and win at a grassroots level. We pull examples from his efforts in getting Defend the Guard legislation passed while he dishes some tough love advice for liberty activists who pretend to care about liberty but whose actions say otherwise.

We can take cues from our Founding Fathers about the proper way to resist government tyranny.

That's exactly what my guest, Dan Cook, has done when looking for ways to reform government.

Dan has been involved in politics since Ron Paul's presidential campaign in 2008. He went on to become a Florida delegate for the Continental Congress in 2009 where he helped draft the Articles of Freedom.

In 2020 he organized patriots in Naples, Florida to fight back against mask-mandates and lockdowns.

Dan has seen every angle of activism and he gives insight about how to navigate each type as we aim to fight back against government tyranny.

If we've learned anything these past few years as they tried to lock us in our homes, shut down our businesses, close our schools, and deem certain of us "non-essential", it's that community is essential.

Finding your tribe is more important now than ever. And according to my guest, Isabel Sam, it's how we can fight back and win against encroaching tyranny and socialism.

And she would know.

Isabel's family has escaped various shades of socialism in not just 1, but 2 different countries.

Frighteningly, she sees many parallels today to what's happening in America and the socialist countries she and her family escaped from.

After living through and studying various countries that have gone through the horrors of socialism, Isabel has concluded that forming strong, tight-knit communities is the best strategy for fighting back and preventing its further rise.

Not only that, she's developed a replicable action plan for how to find your tribe and build community.

Hear all about it in our lively and, at times, spicy chat!

Lee Deming was an educator for 43 years in his hometown of Laurel, Montana. His primary subjects were social studies and civics.

After retiring in 2021, rather than spend his days fishing, he saw the madness happening all around him and decided he needed to do something about it.

After being approached to run for state office, he reluctantly agreed. Lee talks about his public service both as an educator and as a state legislator. He offers advice to others considering a run for office and talked about some of the surprising allies he made along the way.

While in the House, he introduced a “Defend the Guard” bill that would prevent National Guard troops from being conscripted to fight wars overseas without a Congressional declaration of war as required in the Constitution.

Hear more about that bill, why it’s important, and what its outcome was in the Montana House.

"Sound of Freedom" has become a surprise box office hit and made headlines over the past few weeks.

In a nutshell, the movie shines a spotlight on the burgeoning sex trafficking industry. It is based on true events.

My guest, Kathryn Robbins, admits she hasn't seen the movie and says she never will. Why? Because she lived it.

She was the victim of human trafficking having been trafficked by members of her extended family since she was in diapers until around the age of 20.

By the grace of God, she survived to give her incredible testimony, but not until after over 900 hours of intensive therapy to move past her deep trauma.

We talk about some myths and misconceptions about trafficking, what the heck is going on in the entertainment industry with celebrities like Kanye and Brittney Spears, her family's history of generational abuse (that will shock and anger you), and why some people refuse to believe that trafficking is as big of a problem as it is.

Although Epstein Island came later, Kathryn confirms that the rumored atrocities taking place on that island are all true because she experienced the same thing herself.

This is a powerful and at times, heavy, episode.

*** Disclaimer *** While we don't talk any graphic details, there is still some language in here that might make some people uncomfortable. Listener discretion is advised.
