Who We Are, Pay Zero Taxes, Passages Through the Shadows, and The The Mysteries of Judicial Immunity

Description
America has been misled by people abroad and in our government who are serving the interests not of the nation but of a global clique, threatening our very survival and that of humanity as a whole. We are fighting a continuous worldwide war, with degraded public services and collapsing infrastructure, while countless trillions of dollars are hidden in offshore accounts or funding criminal activities, fraudulent speculation, and spending for permanent war. Only the deepest historical inquiry can adequately examine how this sordid mess came about and assist the search for a possible remedy. I discussed this with historian and author Anton Chaitkin, who explained how his latest book, Who We Are: America’s Fight for Universal Progress, from Franklin to Kennedy: Volume II - 1830s to 1890s, can help remind us who we are and build or rebuild a philosophy to restore our society.

Donald Trump is still hoping that his “Big Beautiful Bill” can survive the political grandstanders in the GOP and make its way to his desk for him to sign into law. As it struggles to get full support, Trump predicts a massive tax increase if it fails. Mark J. Quann, author of Be Smart Pay Zero Taxes: Use the Buy, Borrow, Die Strategy to Get Rich and Stay Rich, and who educates everyday Americans on how to build wealth at The Perfect Portfolio, his financial education company, joined me to discuss the issue.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether the Trump administration can take steps to enforce its proposal to end automatic birthright citizenship while litigation continues. The question before the court isn’t the merits of birthright citizenship but the authority of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions. Richard C. Lyons, historian and author of the Democracy Book Series, joined me to discuss birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions.

Judge Hannah Dugan has pled not guilty to federal charges, not claiming that she didn’t do what she is accused of, but that she is protected by “judicial immunity.” Attorney John O’Connor, author of Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today’s Partisan Advocacy Journalism and The Mysteries of Watergate: What Really Happened as well as the host of The Mysteries of Watergate podcast, joined me to discuss her defense strategy.
