Thank you Jackie N Charlotte, Jay Humbard, Carolyn Baum, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
CNN is engaged in a systemtic lie to its audience and I’ve got all the evidence to show it. CNN altered its reporting about the Iran bombing and is not just refusing to acknowledge it left out key details, but is doubling down that its original reporting included the key details about the intelligence report being “low confidence.”
CNN did not originally report the intelligence report was “low confidence,” but now its anchors and fact checkers insist that it did.
CNN should apologize for its original reporting. Instead, it has chosen to gaslight its audience.

Even on Memorial Day, the news waits for no one. But also, I wanted to try a new set up in my home office so I figured I could use the Afternoon Briefing as an excuse to tinker.

I said something yesterday on my radio show that has stirred the pot and earned me unmitigated hate mail from all corners of the internet.
I made a flipant comment that the coordinated coverup of Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline by Democrats and members of the media was worse than the events of January 6th.
After careful consideration… I stand by…

For all the hand-wringing over a so-called constitutional crisis, the reality is this: President Trump keeps winning at the Supreme Court. Time and again, progressive judges in the lower courts have tried to block the lawful exercise of presidential power—and time and again, the Supreme Court has struck them down. Whether it’s firing federal employees, deporting violent gang members, or declining to spend appropriated funds, the Court has affirmed the constitutionality of his actions.
When you step back and look at the pattern, it becomes clear we’ve had this story backwards. The real constitutional crisis isn’t the president asserting his authority—it’s the coordinated obstruction by progressive judges who are actively working to undermine a democratically elected president and the constitutional powers entrusted to him.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis joined me on radio to share that Senator Marco Rubio’s replacement will be named in the coming days. The Governor also commented on the urgency of calling a special session of the Florida legislature to expedite Trump’s deportation plans claiming, "This can't wait… People say it's premature. It's never premature to do the right thing."

When Rush Limbaugh was guiding me through the early years of my radio career, he often warned that I should rarely have a guest on my show because talk radio is an intimate conversation between me and my audience. I have internalized this advice and, you will notice, rarely have guests on my show.
The lone exception in recent months was today when Meta’s Joel Kaplan joined me. Joel is a former law clerk for Antonin Scalia and is now leading Meta’s efforts to reprioritize free speech on Facebook and Instagram. You need to hear this conversation.

I don’t know Susie Wiles. I once blamed her for some of Trump’s bad endorsements and only later learned I was just being used by people who didn’t like her and had an ax to grind. It was a reminder of just how self-interested some people are. A lot of people see Donald Trump not so much as an advancement of policy interests, but an advancement of their own bottom line.
To Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita’s credit, they have done a very good job of marginalizing those people and keeping Trump as focused as they can. Trump, an extrovert, chats with everybody and lots of people get into his head. Managing that alone can be difficult. Wiles and LaCivita took things to the next level and not only won, but won the popular vote. Sure, Trump gets the credit. But as someone who has run campaigns, the staff work magic.
One of the difficulties, worth sharing, is that LaCivita was also the target of a hit job. The publication smeared him as getting rich off Trump. Lots of others have or have tried to. As Corey Lewandowski tried to reassert himself back into the campaign, curiously, more rumors about LaCivita spread. The allegation has been that Lewandowski, who I don’t think is a good person, was trying to undermine LaCivita’s role in the campaign. That effort ended on Election Night. It was LaCivita on stage, not Lewandowski. And now, thankfully, the two people who kept the grifters at bay will be there to continue helping Trump focus and keeping his supporters from being taken advantage of. The details matter, so listen to this from today’s show.

After nearly a month of the American press corp doggedly covering President Biden, they have dutifully retreated to their partisan posts and resumed parroting Democratic talking points now that Harris has the nomination. When Republicans began pushing the failures of Harris’s time as Border Czar, USA Today, Time Magazine, CBS, and Axios (within hours of each other) quickly buried the story and published “fact checks” claiming that was never the role given to Harris.
Except it was. In fact, Axios was the same outlet in 2021 that explicitly claimed Harris was Biden’s Border Czar and only yesterday corrected the story from three years ago. The blatantly obvious coordination between members of the press and the Democratic Party is a reminder of what Republicans are up against this November. Now that Biden has stepped aside, the American press is quite literally willing to rewrite history to ensure their team wins. As Charles Cooke said in National Review, “It sure was fun having a press corp for a month.” Watch:

I am old enough to remember the media’s obsessive hatred of George W. Bush. Countless MSNBC hosts opened their nightly shows in the early 2000s with some reference to George W. Bush being Hitler while simultaneously being Dick Cheney’s puppet for Halliburton. While Barack Obama was given a Nobel Peace Prize for simply showing up, Bush was never given an ounce of credit for his PEPFAR program that saved the lives of millions of people from HIV in more than 50 countries around the world.
One of the most interesting and consistent critiques of the GOP by the media was that the Republican Party should have gone with John McCain instead of Bush. They described McCain as a “maverick” Republican who wasn’t afraid of going after the far right and knew when to compromise with the Democrats. The media’s love of McCain abruptly halted in 2008 when McCain won the Republican nomination and faced off against Barack Obama in the general election. Immediately, McCain was deemed to be an aging, racist, war-mongering radical who had Hitler-like tendencies and was unfit to be President of the United States. The unvarnished attacks went so far as to include allegations that he continued to suffer from PTSD from his time as a prisoner of war and could potentially lead the country back into war.
The media immediately went to war with Mitt Romney when he secured the Republican nomination in 2012 claiming he must be a racist homophobe because of his Mormon background. In addition, the media dug up trivial stories from Romney’s time in college and went so far as to claim that Romney put a dog on top of a car.
But then came Donald Trump in 2016. Multiple hosts, including my friend Bill Mahar, admitted that they had sensationalized their attacks on previous Republicans and that this time, they were serious. The racist, sexist, bigoted, and homophobic claims they made against Bush, McCain, and Romney were largely symbolic, but this time they meant it. Donald Trump was a real-life bad guy despite their identical claims over the preceding decade.
The American people heard these claims as the media’s version of the boy who cried wolf. Time after time, we were falsely warned that the Republican was a dictator, and only now does the media claim they are serious. The reality is the left is fine with dictators, so long as they are good progressives who abide by the laws of critical theory. Che Guevara operated as a dictator killing thousands of innocent people but did so in an equitable way through freedom fighting. Hamas waged a ‘freedom fighting” campaign on October 7th by raping women and killing the babies of their oppressors and are therefore heroes to the left.
The critical theory lens that the left views society through complicates their view that democracy is on the ballot this November. Middle-American voters who would rather watch Sportscenter than the evening news see a Democratic Party obsessed with democracy but sympathizing with dictatorial actors around the globe. Meanwhile, their grocery bills are higher, crime is on the rise, and they see a world that is immensely less stable than just four years ago. But the media wants them to know that this time they are serious. This time the Democrats are right and democracy really is on the ballot. I just don’t think that message works.

It is a remarkable turn of events for Donald Trump.
The former President led the nation and much of the Western World to realize that the Chinese spy app TikTok threatens national security. During his tenure in office, Trump tried to bar TikTok’s operations in the United States because the company is, ultimately, owned by the Chinese Communist Party. There is copious evidence China uses the app to spy.
Unfortunately, Trump left office before ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese-owned parent company, was forced to divest, and Biden walked it all back. But even Biden, despite his campaign embracing TikTok, has continued to prohibit TikTok on government phones and in government facilities. Multiple states now ban TikTok on government property and on government devices.
Many of you believe your phones are listening to you. You have a conversation and suddenly see an ad on social media on your device for precisely what you were talking about. Imagine all those conversations flowing back to China.
You think you don’t have anything to worry about. But get a new phone, not your current phone. Set up a new TikTok account that is unconnected to any information related to you and not on your home wifi. Now, watch how the algorithm starts feeding you anti-American propaganda, transgender propaganda, pro-Hamas propaganda, and anti-Semitic propaganda — TikTok isn’t just spying on you but is indoctrinating your children against American values.
Just the other day, the government arrested 25 year old Sergeant Korbein Schultz from Texas for selling classified military intelligence to China. Schultz worked in Army Intelligence. Now, imagine your kid, ten years from now, getting a job in government. China has ten years’ worth of data on what your kid was secretly watching on the internet and engaging with on TikTok. They won’t need money to blackmail your kid.
TikTok is a national security threat to the United States, and Donald Trump was right to raise the red flag about it and take action. On Thursday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 50-0 to force ByteDance to divest its control of TikTok to continue operating in the United States. When is the last time Congress agreed unanimously to anything other than naming a post office? That’s how big a deal this is.
The bill does not ban TikTok. It has nothing to do with free speech. It has everything to do with China using TikTok as a surveillance tool in the United States and as an app designed to poison our children. TikTok can operate, just not with Chinese control. Contrary to the spin against the legislation, this carefully drafted bipartisan legislation has nothing to do with the First Amendment and everything to do with Chinese communist control of the app.
Sadly, now Donald Trump is calling for Republicans to kill the legislation. In a Truth Social post, he claims it would only help Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. Because Trump is still nursing grudges about 2020, he claims killing TikTok (which the legislation does not do) would enrich Meta.
This is not only false, but in taking this stance, Trump is letting his emotional wrath trump national security. It is dangerous immaturity.
And, for the record, Meta refuses to operate in China because it does not want China to have access to its servers. TikTok is controlled by China.
It must also be noted that the members of Congress and conservative groups most vocally opposed to this legislation are all funded by financier Jeff Yass. Yass is a major investor in TikTok and is opposed to the legislation. He also leans Republican in his giving.
Yass’s investment company, Susquehanna International Group, bet big on TikTok in 2012, buying a stake in parent company ByteDance now measured at about 15%. That translates into a personal stake for Yass of 7% in ByteDance. It is worth roughly $21 billion based on the company’s recent valuation, or much of his $28 billion net worth as gauged by Bloomberg.
Whether because of a donor’s interests or his emotional grievances, Donald Trump trying to sabotage his legacy on national security is shameful and dangerous and, if a preview of what will come from a second term, is less than reassuring.

Union County, North Carolina is making headlines today because county leaders have finalized plans to ban fluoride in the drinking water. Despite every dentist in the county protesting the decision, county residents claim that since the CDC got COVID-19 wrong, they probably got fluoride wrong too.
Even though fluoride has been in the drinking water since the 40s and offers well-documented protection against tooth decay, the facts don’t matter. Alex Jones said it turns the frogs gay and that carries infinitely more weight than the CDC to some people. Inevitably, they will next ban the paths of airplanes over Union County for fear of contracting chemtrails.
While the Alex Jones clip is what made it famous, the anti-fluoride movement was started by rich liberals on the West Coast and slowly seeped into conspiratorial wings of the right. The conspiratorial movements like fluoride and MMR vaccines causing autism started on the left but were picked up and ultimately blamed on the right.
While it’s fun to laugh at the idiocy of people who actually believe this stuff, I worry that this is the beginning of a return to the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was a period that coincided with the fall of the Roman Empire when significant societal advancements were lost and culture moved backward. I think this may be happening again.
One of the basic advancements that we take for granted is the eradication of polio thanks to the polio vaccine. This deadly disease that claimed the lives of countless children and rendered others paralyzed was practically eradicated thanks to Dr. Jonas Salk’s first vaccine used in 1955. But now, thanks to conspiratorial actors on the left and disseminated to the right, polio is on the rise again in this country and around the world. The people who have not lost their minds are fighting against the unknown. “There are no cases of smallpox so how do we know the vaccines work?” scream the conspiracists. “Kids don’t have significant tooth decay, so how can we be sure fluoride works?” they ask.
I fear we are returning to a dark age because a growing number of Americans are willfully turning their backs on what works. For every doctor on the right who claims the MMR vaccine causes autism, a doctor on the left will advise you that it is medically beneficial to mutilate yourself if it means your sex and gender align.
The bottom line is there are anti-truth movements on the left and the right but the progressive elite in this country are claiming their quacks are right. The progressives got so much wrong about COVID and now openly embrace the pseudoscience of transgenderism that the pseudoscience of the right is rearing its head now too. Both sides have doctors and scientists who tell each side what they want to hear, regardless of truth. Meanwhile, the government is failing at its basic responsibilities and seeding more distrust as its arrogant experts and elite use the discord to control. All of this is the product of a growing idolatry in the country, the worship of self by both sides.
This doesn’t end well.

TRANSCRIPT: I may be destroying my career here. I might be, but if Michelle Obama does become the Democratic nominee for president, you can stop listening to me. I don't think it's going to happen for a lot of reasons, including the number of Democrats who really believed Joe Biden was going to be a one term president and behind the scenes are deeply resentful of him and also resentful of Obama for paving the way for Trump. They wouldn't stand for Michelle Obama, but it is neither here nor there.
You should understand there are people online, on podcasts, online prognosticators, pundits, telegram groups, and the like who are pushing the idea and seeding it into people's minds that Michelle Obama — the Democrats are going to pull a bait and switch and make her the Democratic nominee. If that's the case, I don't believe it is, you can stop listening to me.
But please, please for the love of God do me a favor. If she's not the nominee come November, please remember who told you she would be the nominee and unfollow them on social media.
Delete their podcasts. Stop listening to them. This gets me to the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce thing. There's a huge rumor started that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, they're not actually dating. It's that it is a PSYOP campaign, psychological operation, by the Department of Defense or others to help Joe Biden. They're dating not because they're in a relationship or in love, but it's to help Joe Biden get elected. It's all about politics. It's all about Joe Biden.
If you do believe this, you are the definition of a dumb ass. I just need you to know that and I'm sorry if that offends some of you with me saying that so bluntly, but you really are if you believe this. Here's the thing. Most of the people online selling you this bill of goods, and it is a hyper online affair, they don't actually believe it. They're hoping you do. It's not a coincidence some of the loudest voices about this conspiracy theory were the people in the QAnon Pizzagate conspiracy.
They didn't actually believe it, but they hoped that some people would. In fact, some people did and showed up and tried to shoot up the place because of the conspiracy theory. They don't care about the fallout. They care about themselves and their power. It's a nihilism that's happening on the right. They don't care about the ends. They don't really even care about the means. They care about the giggles and the clout. They care about you talking about what they started.
They care about getting into your mind and getting you to believe something. It's all about power for them in the same way critical theory is about power for the left. Now what's going on here? It's not a coincidence many of these are young men on the right who are social media influencers and they claim to be some sort of consultant to get people on social media. What happens is they talk about this stuff and other people then begin to talk about it and link at it saying, "Look at this idiot who believes this stuff."
They don't care that they're being called an idiot. What they care about is you're linking back to them. Notice I'm not doing that. You are mentioning their name. Notice I'm not doing that. You are elevating their platform so they can then go to candidates and donors and say, "Look how influential I am. Look at all the people talking about me. Look at the impact that I'm having in the arena and write me a check. Give me a job." That's what this is about for them. They don't care about the fallout of it.
They don't care that someone actually went to that pizza restaurant in Washington, DC, and tried to harm people. They don't care about that. They care about being able to get the influence. Therefore, they were able to get the political consulting contract. They got the donor to fund their cause because they're a social media influencer and they run people's social media accounts and look at all the attention they can get for you. You won’t be surprised to learn how many of them are also tied to Turning Point USA.
Meanwhile, there are dumb people who live sheltered lives who fall for it and get taken advantage of. There are people who decide to do something about it and take action. They don't care about any of that. They don't care about you. They're willing to lie to you. Don't believe the lies. They themselves are awful people. They're terrible people who really should be shunned online. You should stop following them and stop listening to them and stop platforming them and stop elevating them.
Put it to you this way. Taylor Swift is, now that Queen Elizabeth II is dead, the most popular woman on the planet. She's popular among Republicans. She's popular among Democrats. She's popular among everyone. The NFL is the most watched thing on television, and the Kansas City Chiefs games are some of the most watched NFL games because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in a relationship. Kelce is the most popular tight end in the NFL. He's very good at his job.
You're talking about the NFL and Taylor Swift, two things that poll in the 80s in public approval, and these nihilist Republican, right-wing online strategists want to turn Republicans against them? Really? You want Republicans to be against Mom, apple pie, and the flag as well? You might as well because that's what this is about. Again, they don't care about the fallout. They care about people talking about them and giving them attention and them showing their ability to control a narrative.
Never mind that it hurts Donald Trump. Never mind that it makes the Republicans look deeply unserious. Never mind the political fallout. On a day that Cori Bush has been targeted by the Justice Department, a Democrat progressive targeted by Joe Biden's Justice Department, we're all having to talk about the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce thing because of what these idiots have done online. Part of the problem here is that many of these young guys on the right who do this stuff are hyper online.
They have defined themselves by their online identity. They have defined themselves by what they do online, who talks about them online, how much engagement they get online. They don't have offline personalities. They are creatures of online. You don't be that way. Stop listening to them. Ignore them. Block them. Understand you are being played by them. Maybe go touch some grass. They need to go touch some grass and get offline. They don't care. They don't care what happens.
They don't care that what they do may reflect poorly on Donald Trump and cost him the election. They simply don't care because they figured out how to cash in on the loss. They're charlatans, frauds, hucksters, and grifters. They care about money. They care about their clout. They don't care about you. They don't care actually about Donald Trump despite how performatively they hump his leg. They just care about themselves. They are self-centered nihilists who are perfectly happy to watch the world burn as long as they can make money off of it. You probably should turn off the computer and go touch some grass if you believe them.

Tim Alberta has a new book out about the American church in an age of extremism. Progressive atheist Rob Reiner has a new documentary out about the dangers of Christian nationalism. Some friends participated with both Tim’s book and Reiner’s documentary.
I have other friends who are antagonists towards it all. Some proudly call themselves Christian Nationalists because it gets a rise out of all the right people. They are not, definitionally, in favor of passing laws barring anyone but orthodox Christians from seeking office, etc, but because the left gets worked up over the term, they’ll embrace it.
Alberta, in writing his book, experienced awfulness at his dad’s funeral, where a member of the congregation harassed Alberta about politics. My wife, in 2016, told her Bible Study that she’d been diagnosed with cancer, and a woman told her that the woman would pray for my wife but wanted to hit me for not supporting Trump.
People have let their politics get the best of them, and too many people are letting their politics shape their faith.
But, concurrently, a prominent pastor friend of mine who passed away earlier this year had more than one conversation with me where he and I were concerned many of our friends were letting their critics radicalize them. This is a growing problem in American Christianity — a far bigger problem than Christian Nationalism. People are being radicalized by their antagonists. People are weaving their theological concerns and practical concerns within evangelicalism around how others have treated them.
This is not just happening to those who now criticize evangelicalism from within. It’s also happening to those who criticize the critics. They want to rile them up. For a time, many of the pastors I talked with were concerned about people in their churches after George Floyd, insisting that the pastors needed to speak out about social justice. Now, I am far more likely to encounter pastors who are combatting congregants convinced that the pastor has gone woke if he is not denouncing social justice every Sunday. The merry online band of TheoBros see woke everywhere unless you’re explicitly against the wokes daily, and the merry online band of deconstructed evangelicals see Christian Nationalism everywhere unless you explicitly reject the GOP.
The only religion that has a concept of grace has a lot of graceless people in it on both sides, convinced myopicly that only they are in the right. And a lot of that gracelessness comes from a sense of betrayal by others.
While all these people are squabbling and writing and talking on camera and banging away on keyboards, tens of thousands of pastors are going to get up this morning and preach. Then, they will spend time with family and friends before going to make hospital rounds to pray for those ailing and dying members of their congregations. Tomorrow, most of them will get up and go to work their day jobs because the pulpit is a passion calling, but working at Walmart or driving a bus pays the bills.
Remember, most pastors in the United States do not have the church as their full-time calling. If your church has a full-time pastor who does not work another job, you are in the minority.
When the authors write the books, the talking heads talk to Rob Reiner, and the TheoBros fight back online about the meta conversations and actual conversations of evangelical problems, worries, fears, concerns, and creeping nationalism in the congregation, tens of thousands of pastors who will never be interviewed, known nationally, or write a best seller will divide their time between visiting wounded souls and preparing a message of hope in a fallen world.
The national discourse has given too much airtime to the wounds, grievances, and gripes of those who now see problems in evangelicalism because of Trump and those who see no problems at all except with those they perceive as traitors, whiners, and “BigEva.”
And on both sides of that divide, otherwise well-intentioned people with good hearts who think they mean well and who are friends of mine are using their platforms, pulpits, press releases, columns, and tweets to fight a fight that is not as big or loud in the world at large as it is in their sphere and, in fighting that fight, help everyone on all sides forget the invisible local shepherd of the local flock who will struggle this week to pay a bill before standing, for free, in a pulpit on Sunday to remind people that the world and Hell itself will not prevail against God’s kingdom.
Perhaps we need fewer laments, fewer Rob Reiner documentaries, fewer TheoBros puffing chests and banging on keyboards, and more reminders of the small church pastor focused on doing the right thing without a spotlight on him.
The aggrieved airing their grievances are putting the spotlight on themselves, convinced they’re performing a vital service correcting an error. Increasingly, it looks like chasing idols while we forget that within evangelicalism, the Holy Spirit still works wonders daily and, again, God can take of the church without your tweet or soundbite.

Now that we have had the DeSantis vs Newsom debate, Republican primary voters deserve the Nikki Haley vs Ron DeSantis conversation. I am formally inviting both of them to Atlanta to have this conversation moderated by me. Without the distractions of Vivek or an obnoxious audience, let’s have a conversation between these two candidates about the issues Republican primary voters care about.
Each candidate separately sat on stage with me for nearly an hour at my conference in Atlanta this August. About 1,000 members of the audience and many more online listened to each of them answer a host of questions on a variety of topics. Each candidate knows me and knows I have no interest in gotcha questions but instead, want to give them both a chance to explain their differences to the voter.
The data tells us the GOP is full of Trump-leery voters and the vast majority of the ones I speak with are on the fence between Haley and DeSantis. An open formatted opportunity like this would allow each candidate to clearly and succinctly explain to these undecided voters why they have earned their vote.
Governor DeSantis and Ambassador Haley, I am deadly serious about this. Are you in?

Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama joined me to talk about his military holds in the Senate. President Biden says the senator’s holds risk military readiness. Members of the military say the military is ready. This is an attempt by the Biden Administration to deploy progressive social policy into the military, using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions. Sadly, few Republicans are publicly standing by Senator Tuberville, but this is a fight worth having and we should all have his back. Take a listen to our conversation.

Tim Keller has died. He has been battling pancreatic cancer. Two years ago, for Good Friday, he spoke to me about his fight with cancer, his faith, and about culture. You can hear the conversation above.
I got to know Tim as a critic of his who discovered that much of what I heard about what Keller had said or written was vastly different from what Keller had actually said or written.
He reached out to me. We struck up a mild friendship from afar, occasionally talking by phone or email with notes of encouragement to each as my wife struggles with lung cancer and he with pancreatic cancer.
Over the past few years, a segment of evangelicals on social media took to criticizing a man who has led more people to Christ than all of them combined. Many of them had worked hard to push people away from Christendom through their cold hostility and lack of grace, while Keller, with his smile, worked hard, even through cancer, to bring people to Christ.
Keller, a prominent pastor in New York, boldly took on both critical theory, writing one of the best pieces against it, and also the liberal church’s rejection of biblical sexuality. Only a few weeks ago, Keller opened himself to incoming fire from progressive theologians for rejecting trans-ideology.
But Keller put Christ first. He loved others. He believed in engaging a world hostile to Christ and learning from those not of the church. He told me frankly that because everyone is made in God’s image that we have much to learn even from those who might reject God. He loved people. He loved the Lord.
Tim Keller’s books have been read by millions, and his words have pulled so many to Christ.
His race is now won. He is home. The other day he told his family he wanted to see Jesus. Now, he walks with the Lord.
RIP.

Riley Gaines is a 12-time All-American swimmer from the University of Kentucky who would much rather be in dental school than doing interviews with people like me on the radio. Instead, Gaines has been thrust into the national spotlight for having the courage to say that young women should not have to compete against men in sports or change in front of men in locker rooms. That is exactly what happened when the NCAA forced her to compete against transgender athlete Lia Thomas in a championship event. Just last week at a speaking engagement, Gaines was assaulted on stage and held hostage by trans radicalists at a university in San Francisco. If not for a police officer nearby, her situation could have been much worse. Take a moment and listen.

This is a transcript of my radio monologue today in Charleston, South Carolina after the Nikki Haley event. You’ll want to hear this.
If I sound a little different, it's because I'm actually in a hotel. I brought all my radio equipment over, and I am broadcasting live from the Charleston Place Hotel in downtown Charleston. My daughter and I were here for Nikki Haley's event, saw it about an hour and a half ago now, and ran back down to the hotel to get started on radio. Be patient with me if you're on the phones. It's going to be a little while before I can actually get my call screening software up and running. I had some issues with the hotel wifi in the room, but they're working on it.
I want to talk about an issue that ties into all of these Republican presidential candidates running. I hope all of the Republican candidates take note of this important story. It has everything to Nikki Haley who just announced her presidential campaign here in Charleston just a little while ago. She spoke with passion about the American dream and her journey to launching a presidential campaign.
The story is from Bloomberg News and is highlighted in The Show Notes. You need to see this. Let me just read you the beginning of this. The headline, just so you understand, is, "New Cars are Only for the Rich Now, as Automakers Rake in Profits."
"With pandemic era chip shortages fading, manufacturers are keeping inventories low and prices high. The shift to EVs, electric vehicles, will make things worse. A shiny new car in the driveway has been an emblem of middle class prosperity for generations. But for the typical American family, it's now a distant Dream. The average monthly payment for a new car has soared to a record $777, nearly double from late 2019, according to Kelly Blue Book owner, Cox Automotive. That's almost a sixth of the median after-tax income for US households. Even used models have climbed to $544 a month on average. Keep in mind, yesterday's inflation report. Used cars are down about 11%. But that's still $544 a month on average.
"The sticker shock extends well beyond the United States where inflation is a thorny political issue for President Biden, as the 2024 election looms. In Europe, prices are flirting with records. Used car prices soared in Japan last year and in China. A rapid push to electric vehicles means consumers will have to pay more in some cities. At the root of the problem is automaker's new mantra, 'keep inventory lean and price tags fat.' Three years after the pandemic triggered a global shortage of semiconductor chips and crippled car manufacturing, Ford, General Motors, and their overseas rivals are notching big profits. And because electric vehicles cost about 25% more than the average car, the shift to plug-ins is about to make the affordability crisis even worse. Add soaring interest rates to the mix, and new cars are fast becoming the domain of the rich."
Ladies and gentlemen, here is your Campaign 2024 issue. The Democrats have priced the middle class out of the American Dream. This should not be a partisan issue, but it is a partisan issue. Because the Democrats have so embraced climate extremists in this country, they think it is a good thing that the middle class must rely on public transportation or 10-year-old vehicles in order to get just to work, let alone carpool the kids. They think it is a good thing. They think it will force people into cities where they can more control our lives. They think it's better for the environment. They are ruining the American Dream for the middle class, not the poor. The poor have always largely been priced out of the automobile market, including the recently used automobile market. But for the middle class, they could at least get a recently used, a pre-owned vehicle, they call them.
And for a lot of the middle class, particularly the upper middle class, they could get new vehicles. They can't do that anymore. You can't do that anymore. You are struggling to make ends meet because of inflation. Yes, it's the automakers who are doing it. Notice how Joe Biden blasts the big oil companies, but he doesn't blast the big auto manufacturers. Why is that? Unionization, perhaps? He doesn't go after them. The reason he doesn't go after them is because Joe Biden thinks it's a good thing.
He said in the State of the Union, we'll only need oil and gas for about 10 more years. He said that. Joe Biden said that. That was one of his lines. He tried to defend it. It was rather indefensible, frankly. Joe Biden is pricing people out of the middle class, American Dream.
Listen. This was what he said.
The congressional reaction from the Republicans was appropriate for what he said despite the fact he tried to correct himself. But he said this consistently, for about 10 years, you all, we can't, there's not enough lithium. There was a report out the other day, there's not enough lithium.
And right now, by the way, Politifact is coming after me for reporting a news article from a news site because the left doesn't like it. According to Jalopnik, and some outside energy consulting group, right now, driving a hundred miles, in an electric car typically costs you more than a fossil fuel burning vehicle. Why? Because the internal combustion engine with gas prices the way they've been, is actually cheaper than the energy prices powering up a battery in a car.
Joe Biden is pricing the middle class out of the American Dream. The Democrats' environmentalist policies are pricing the middle class out of the American Dream. The middle class cannot buy new cars. When Herbert Hoover was President of the United States, what did he want? A car in every garage? A chicken in every pot? That was the vision of the American Dream, a land of plenty.
It's not a land of plenty under the Democrats. It's a land of plenty of grievances for the Democrats. That's what they want to complain about. And they don't want you to have a car. They don't want the middle class to have a car. They do not want you to have the mobility of the American Dream to pack up and move unless you're willing to move to a city with a subway system or a bus system. And that gives you an inflexibility with which you cannot grab hold of the American Dream.
This is a message that the Republicans need to embrace. The Democrats are willfully pricing the middle class out of the American Dream. The Democrats have embraced policies that drive up the cost of car ownership. They drive up the cost of home ownership. They drive up the cost of rent. They drive up the cost of education. Democrats' policies make it more expensive for the middle class to grow in income, to prosper. They make it more difficult for the poor to become the middle class. They make it very difficult, except for everyone who's already rich in this country.
That's the American Dream for the Democrats. You stay poor and move to a city and take a bus to a miserable job, as opposed to buying land and moving to the country. You can't, because your battery-powered car can't make it to the city. You can't, because you can't afford the battery-powered car.
The quality of life that you have now has deteriorated in the last several years. And they blame Covid, they blamed Covid. I saw an article yesterday, they blame Covid for the decline in education, literacy rates, and math competency. It wasn't a virus that caused a decline in math skills. It was the public policies put forward by Democrats that did that. Your children's lives are worse because of the Democrats' policies. Your lives are worse because of the Democrats' policies.
Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Hell, no, you're not. Your car is more expensive. Your mortgage is more expensive. Your eggs are more expensive. Your groceries are more expensive. Your gas is more expensive. Your insurance is more expensive. Your bank fees are more expensive. Everything is more expensive than it was four years ago.
And the Democrats are okay with that. Because it's forcing you to consume less. And in consuming less, you're saving the planet. It's all part of their design. It's all part of their ambition to rein you and your good times over. They got to be over to save the planet. You've consumed too much. It's time to rein you in. That's where the Democrats are headed with this.
And I've got to tell you, I firmly, genuinely, completely, believe that this is a message for Republican candidates. This is a message for the Republicans. Say, "Enough. Enough. We're tired of you implementing policies that raise prices on the middle class. We're tired of you implementing policies that price the middle class out of the American Dream. We believe in the American Dream. We live the American Dream. Our families came here as immigrants or descended from slaves, or they were poor and needy and they prospered with the American Dream. Because in America, people who worked hard could get ahead."
And in Democratic America, in Joe Biden's America, you work to get ahead, they cancel you. They shut you down. They drive up your taxes. They tell you you're bad. We've got to be able to fight this. And I think we can win it. I think there's a winnable message for Republicans about the American Dream.

Live on my show today, I interviewed Congressman Dan Bishop (R-NC). He is one of the twenty conservatives refusing to vote for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker.
Earlier today, Fox News reported that Bishop would quit if McCarthy won. That isn’t true. Bishop talked about how that story came about, why he is holding out, and what his end game is.
To get a true sense of what is going on, take time to listen to the congressman.

Chris Wilson is my favorite pollster in America. He does not do public polling. He does the expensive internal polling that candidates rely on for strategy. He is the person whose polling had Glenn Youngkin winning when all the public polls showed Youngkin losing Virginia last year. I talked to Chris about polling, the differences between public and…
Please listen to the audio above. I said that on February 23, 2022. It is so easily predictable.
You have to remember that in many states, historically, the GOP dominated early voting and Democrats dominated day of voting.
But the situation is now reversed, and Democrats tend to use absentee and early voting while Republicans show up on election day. As Republican skepticism of absentee balloting has increased, they have put more faith in Election Day polling.
On February 23, 2022, I said the above audio clip on the radio.
I stand by it.
Some of you are falling for the doom scenarios that Democrats are turning out in record numbers in early voting so you might as well give up. Don’t fall into that mindset. It was obvious that would be a last-minute media narrative concocted by the Democrats and advanced by a partisan political press.

Today, Herschel Walker joined me on my radio show. We discussed the allegations against him, his mental health, and his debate tomorrow against Raphael Warnock.
The campaign put no ground rules on the interview. I wanted to make sure everyone could hear our conversation so those in Georgia, in particular, can make up their mind about November.

My friend Josh Trevino has a very perceptive piece about Putin using nukes in Ukraine. Josh thinks Putin will use them. I think Josh is probably right for the reason he states.
We have, for a very long time, embraced a doctrine of reciprocal nuclear force. If Russia uses nukes, we use nukes. It worked as a very simple deterrence. Quoting Josh,
They no longer hold, and here is the very dangerous thing the Biden Administration has done. You can read about it in the 25 September 2022 Financial Times, but this is the key passage:
“[W]estern officials said that a nuclear strike against Ukraine would be unlikely to spark a retaliation in kind but would instead trigger conventional military responses from western states to punish Russia.”
It is a passage so astonishing that I re-read it multiple times, and within the next twenty-four hours made several phone calls to confirm. Here is what was, in aggregate, communicated to me: the passage is broadly accurate. As explained, the Biden Administration really has told the Russians that, for the first time ever, Russian nuclear-weapons use in Europe will not guarantee an American nuclear response. Instead of a nuclear attack in return, the Administration has persuaded itself that “conventional military responses” will be sufficiently deterring. Supposedly — and you ought to consider this very much unconfirmed and uncorroborated — those responses will include NATO attacks on Russian launch sites, plus a NATO-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine. The latter is functionally indistinguishable from direct NATO entry into the war on the Ukrainian side, and there should be no illusion about it.
So Biden has given away the game — there’ll be no nuclear deterrence to deter Russia from using nukes. Instead, we’ll enter World War III with conventional weapons. Putin has no incentive now to restrain himself.
It’s all starting to sound like those bowls are being poured out from Revelation 16. We’ve got the sores; we’ve got the land turned dark on power shortages; we’ve got the plague; we’ve got the rivers drying up, including the Tigris and Euphrates — stand by for the earthquake that may be a nuclear blast.
Of course, you cannot read present times into Revelation directly. But a lot of people are or are going to. A pastor friend of mine is convinced beyond all get out that the rainbow flag is this generation’s mark of the beast. He reads Rev 16:2 as a literal prophecy fulfilled. “The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.”
I think you have to be very careful reading prophetic scripture literally. I know a lot of people are going to.
Whether you do or you do not, I want you to understand something else. Worry is a sin.
I said on the radio the other day that many people are developing anxiety. Our screens are anxiety producers. The constant stream of news produces anxiety. I said on the radio that you need to calm down, unplug, and focus on those things you can control.
You cannot control what Vladimir Putin does. You cannot control our President. You can exercise control over a small sphere of dominion that exists slightly beyond your front stoop. Work on that. I don’t think God meant for us to care about and certainly not fret about far-off things on the far side of the world that we can’t control.
God’s got this. He has the whole world in his hands. The petal of a flower does not fall off without God’s will and foreknowledge. God is on the throne.
We are headed into uncharted economic, social, cultural, and geopolitical troubles. Most people alive do not have any experience on which to draw or from which to take comfort.
At times like these, your faith is going to matter way more. Understand me here. A lady sent me an angry note on Instagram after hearing me on the radio. She wrote:
I can't believe I just heard what I did. Your comment about reduce anxiety about the world by not doing anything. Let happen what's going to happen ...so you believe teaching our kids to not take action when things go awry is the right thing to do? I whole heartedly disagree. I am teaching my daughter to stand up for what she believes to be wrong and create change.
That’s not actually what I said. I replied to her:
Actually what I said was discern what you can and cannot change and don’t get mad or worry about the stuff outside your control. God’s got that stuff.
God’s got it all mapped out. Learn to discern what you can change. Most of that is right around you, probably within twenty miles of you. But there is an entire globe out there with billions of people. You cannot change them or their leaders or their operations. God can. So pray. Trust God. Stop worrying.
Focus on loving your neighbor. God’s got the rest of this. Sometimes it won’t feel like it, but I promise you — God’s got this, so stop worrying.

A Virginia school system is forcing teachers to ignore biology and call students by the pronouns of their choosing. Peter Vlaming, a highly respected teacher, dissented. He was willing to compromise and just his student’s name. But Vlaming was not willing to call a girl a boy. The school system told him he could not compromise. It was all or nothing and his decision to only use nouns and not pronouns was unacceptable. The school system fired Vlaming. Thankfully, Alliance Defending Freedom stepped up to fight for Peter Vlaming.

I love doing radio on Fridays because instead of keeping topics strictly tied to the news cycle, I open up the phone lines and talk about whatever.

Who or what you worship says a lot about who your God is. Take a moment and listen to this.

Late yesterday, with national fanfare and push alerts from major media outlets, Stacy Abrams announced she will run again for Governor of Georgia. The man who beat her, Governor Brian Kemp, is seeking a second term. He does so with an organized effort by Donald Trump and progressive activists all to defeat him. But he also does so with Georgia outperforming most of the nation on economic growth. He does so having reopened Georgia sooner than any other state after COVID and steering the state successfully through troubled waters.
After a national media celebration for Abrams’ win, I got Brian Kemp on my radio show to talk about both his campaign, his thoughts on her campaign, and his thoughts on a possible primary challenge to him. He points out if Abrams were governor, Georgia would have stayed shut down far long and its economy would suffer. He also says he has no real control over a challenger in the primary, but no challenger can really successfully challenge his record as Governor.

There are no notes beyond Hour 1 because it thereafter became about the Rittenhouse trial. I said I wouldn’t send out any more of these, but I lied. Sorry. I wasn’t going to, but I want to send this because it will save me from additional writings.
I want to make a very basic point. I’ll put it in big letters.
If you are concerned about the rise of vigilantism, stop rioting. Stop burning down buildings claiming it is not violence. Stop defunding the police. Stop ordering the police to stand down and not enforce the law against rioters. You want to stop vigilantes, allow and encourage the police to do their jobs instead of pressuring them to stand down and let rioters destroy the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens.
If you think Rittenhouse is guilty, you should consume other media. You should not discredit the American system of justice because twelve impartial jurors who reviewed all the evidence arrived at a different conclusion. Above all else, you should not do this:
How arrogant a man to have not sat in the jury’s box, not observed the trial as they did, not deliberated for over twenty-four hours spread over multiple days, then decided the jury turned justice to poison. That is a theologian who now uses the word of God to claim a jury he did not serve on that spent first-hand time with the evidence of which he at best got a second-hand accounting rendered poison because he made up his mind based on how other people described the case to him.

We need to discuss critical theory. I'm going to do it as succinctly as I can. I feel very strongly that you need to know what it is. It is important to me that you understand it. The reason it’s important that you understand critical theory is because you will be asked about it. When they say critical theory is not taught in schools, you can respond and say, "Critical theory is a framework." Here’s what you need to know. First, you should subscribe to my premium newsletter for more exclusive content like this.
If you text the word "data" to 33777, Tim Keller has written my favorite takedown of critical theory and he makes it easy for you to understand. Text "data" to 33777. Now, I'm not going to read you what Tim wrote. I'm going to tell you my view of it. A lot of it is shaped by Tim Keller and other theologians. Ligon Duncan, the Chancellor of Reform Theological Seminary, was the first person in America to tell me I needed to pay attention to critical theory. He said it was coming and I needed to get sharp on it. He sent me a lot of resources and then Tim Keller came out with some great information on it. Keller and I have had a number of conversations about this.
Critical theory is a postmodern concept meant to describe power and justice. So, first of all, we need to ask ourselves, what is postmodernism? Modernism is the idea that there can be an objective reality and an objective truth and that everyone can find and grab hold of that truth. It puts factual analysis ahead of emotions. Postmodernism is the opposite. Postmodernism is the belief that there is no truth. You have your truth. I have my truth. It puts emotions and feelings above thinking. That's why you hear so many people these days say "I feel" instead of "I think." That's a sign we're in postmodern times. People put their feelings ahead of their thinking. Postmodernism is very relational. People find people who speak their truth back to them and those people become fans and have an emotional connection to them.
Postmodernism as well believes that reality is constructed not through observation, but through words, and words possess the power to construct reality. So if you and I go outside and we all look up at the sky and there's not a cloud in the sky and I tell you, "The sky is blue," that may be my reality, but that may not be your reality. If you are color blind, that's not your reality. Therefore, I can't tell you what objective reality is because it's not the reality you share with me. Now, this gets to the key point you have to understand about postmodernism. This is the key point. The exception becomes the rule in postmodernism. So on the transgender debate, there are people who are born intersex. They have characteristics of both male and female. They are the exception to the rule. They are in a biological anomaly.
We determine their true sex based on the priority of chromosomes. You can have XYXX, XYXY, XXXY, XXXX. The first two are determinative of the predominant gender of the person. But in rare situations, there are people who can be born as intersex. Postmodernists claim you can't say, “there are only two genders” because look at all of these other people. So, therefore they believe you can choose. They take the exception and they make it the rule. "The police are oppressors in the country. They are all bad." In postmodernism, they take the exception of the bad police officer and they apply it to the whole. That's what we're seeing in society, the exception becomes the rule. That is postmodernism. In modernism, there are rules with exceptions to rules. In postmodernism, the exception becomes the rule.
Now, you’ve got to understand all of that to understand that critical theory comes from postmodernism. Emotion trump facts, your lived experience trumps reality, and there is no general rule of life. Critical theory seeks to define power. Now, I'm saying critical theory, very specifically, because there are divisions of critical theory. Critical theory tries to explain power imbalances in the world through a group of intersections or characteristics people have. The one we focus on a lot in conversations is critical race theory, but you have the various intersectional dynamics of people. What is their sexual orientation? Are they cisgender? That is their gender and their biological sex align. Are they Christian or not? Are they White or someone else?
Your race, your sex, your gender, your religion, your lack of a disability or a disability, all of these things combine and the person who is White, male, cisgender, heterosexual, conservative, tall with no disability, you are the most oppressive person with the intersection. You are the most oppressive person, and the person who is none of those things is the most oppressed. Under critical theory, they believe that only the oppressed can see true reality. So those of you who are of the oppressor class, White people, you must be quiet and hear the oppressed person that is the non-White person. What they say is true and you must accept it as true because due to all of your oppressive characteristics, you yourself cannot understand what is real truth.
Reality is shaped under critical theory by something called dominant discourses, and the dominant discourse are those things the oppressors say, what White people say. You're hearing this in the conversations about the Virginia election. White people are saying the election was about education. The non-White voices on MSNBC are saying it's actually about White supremacy. According to critical theory, you White people must shut up and take Joy Reid as Gospel truth because Joy Reid is Black and female, therefore she is not of the oppressor class, she's of the oppressed class, and her truth trump yours. Critical theory is hostile to the idea of free speech because if everyone has free access to speak, the oppressor is always going to prevail under critical theory. The dominant discourse must be shut down.
Here is the key point you must understand, racial reconciliation is impossible in critical theory. Why? Because it's a postmodern view of power, which means there will always be the oppressed and there will always be the oppressors. So when the oppressor finally becomes oppressed, you have new oppressors and the dynamics continually shift. The critical theorists say, "That's not true. Once we have a power balance by the White people giving up their power, there will be no oppression." That's what they say. They can't explain why. So critical theory is a postmodern framework used to see the world. When we say critical theory is taught in school, we are saying it's how history is taught. History is now viewed not as a factual pattern of what happened, but as a history of oppressors and oppressed.
Black kids are taught that they are oppressed and White kids are taught that they are oppressors. White kids are taught they must be silent and only listen to the Black voices because since they're oppressors they have no real grasp of reality. So when they shove the microphone in your face and they tell you, "Tell me what critical theory is," you say, "Critical theory is not a thing per se. Critical theory is a framework by which they're teaching education. The critical theory framework is postmodernism and it means there is no real reality and we must revise history in light of the oppressed and the oppressor. We are not allowed to have real truth. Everyone has their own truth. And that means there can be no objective reality."
Last point for you people of faith, there are efforts to bring critical theory into the church. You cannot bring critical theory into the church and maintain real Christianity. Why? Because Jesus Christ says, "I am the way and the truth and the life." That means there must be an objective truth because God is real. So anyone who brings critical theory in is telling you to subvert the actual truth of Christ for some person's truth, and that gets you to idol worship. You don't want to do that.

I'm going to delve into a very, very boring topic and I'm going to try to make it interesting, educational and titillating so you don't fall asleep. We need to talk about tax law.
I took tax law when I was in law school and was very good at it. Two of my highest grades in law school were classes on income tax and estate tax. I did great in property, con law, decedent estates and trusts, income tax, estate tax, and then all of Section 9 uniform commercial code stuff. Man, I love the transactional side of law. I was good at that stuff but I hated torts and criminal law. The worst grade I got in law school was criminal law.
The Democrats in Congress want a wealth tax. They want the ability to tax your wealth. Now, a lot of people have reached out to me and said, "Well, how does this fit under the 16th Amendment?" Because the 16th amendment allows an income tax, but it's a little more complicated than that because the 16th Amendment doesn't actually govern tax law in the United States. The 1st Article of the Constitution does.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, clause one is Congress has the power to levy taxes and lay duties on exports, imports, and the like. But then there's Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution that bars a direct tax, a capitation or direct tax, unless the tax is levied in direct proportion to the number of people who live in each state. Now, you should know that that the Supreme Court has ruled that an income tax is unconstitutional, that's why the 16th Amendment had to come about. But there were times in the country there was no income tax.
Now, we’ve got to go to the way back machine to 200 BC. Yes, 200 years before the birth of Christ to this place called the Republic of Rome. The Republic of Rome was governed by a Senate. The Senate knew that it could be slow to decide things. When there were crises, the Senate would appoint dictators and they would give those dictators plenary power to do everything necessary for the defense of Rome, and when the crisis ended, the powers of the dictator were surrendered back to the Senate. But the Senate knew that when there's a crisis, you've got to have one person who can take over and you've got to have that one person able to call the shots.
Rome had a history of very famous dictators. One of the most famous dictators of Rome was Sulla. They got rid of the dictatorship for a while in Rome. Then in 82 BC, Sulla came to power. Sulla knew that there had to be problems because the Roman Senate was having all sorts of issues. There was corruption and the rule of law was breaking down. So Sulla, a very popular general, largely seized power and restructured the Roman Constitution.
He expanded the size of the Senate. He added a bunch of supporters. He placed limits on the powers of other groups. He limited the veto. He forbade ex-tribunes from holding the higher powers. Then in 81 BC, he walked away. His dictatorial powers were given again in 49 BC to someone you might have heard of, his name is Julius Caesar. Cesar was ultimately in 44 BC named dictator in perpetuity for reforming the Constitution and given the power to just handpick people. The American Founders were fascinated by the Roman Republicans. That's why they call us a republic, not a democracy.
Now, this gets me in trouble with certain nitpicky listeners of a certain breed and age, but the Greeks had the word democracy, the Romans had the word republic. They were essentially the same thing. There were differences in their variations as to how they operated. In Greece, it was very much a direct democracy. In Rome, it was a representative democracy. The Founders were more fixated with Rome and Western civilization out of Rome and they went with a representative democracy instead of a direct democracy and they went with a republic. They called it a republic instead of a democracy but they were largely the same thing.
But when I make this point people will call in and yell, "We're a republic, not a democracy!!" Yes, but you're quibbling tomato, tomato. They actually are largely the same thing. They operated slightly differently. The Founders went with the republic because they were high on the Latins and Rome.
One of the fixations they had with the Roman Republic was the dictator. Now, they didn't want a dictator here. In fact, George Washington could have been king and he didn't want it. So what they did is they made Article 1 and the legislative branch the most powerful. It's not a coincidence that the legislative is Article 1 because they're supposed to be the most powerful. Article 2 is the president. He's supposed to be the second most powerful. Article 3, the courts, they were supposed to be the innocuous power.
But the Founders embraced the idea of the way the Roman dictator would work. The president in times of war, as Commander in Chief, would become the most powerful man alive. There's this scene in the movie Lincoln where Lincoln is surrounded by his cabinet ministers and essentially says to them that he has summoned the greatest powers of Western civilization embodied within his office able to be used by him in times of war and he intended to use them. He was right. It comes from the idea of the dictator.
In times of war, the Supreme Court said things that otherwise wouldn't apply. So in times of war, Congress could impose an income tax. It's not true to say an income tax never existed in American history until the 16th Amendment. In a number of wars, including the Civil War and the Spanish-American War, Congress imposed an income tax. But the income tax only lasted as long as there was a declaration of war. The moment the war was over, the power went away as did the president's powers. The moment a declaration of war went away, the president's powers disappeared. That's the way it was designed. It was based on the dictator of Rome.
The Congress when the country was founded wanted to be very careful about taxation. After all, our nation was founded because of a tax rebellion over tea. So they did not want direct taxes. Have you ever asked yourself how come the federal government in their zeal to tax everything doesn't tax property? States have property taxes. Local communities have property taxes. Why isn't the federal government started doing that? Because the Constitution prohibits a property tax. It's a direct tax.
Now, what per se is a direct tax? A direct tax is a tax on a fixed object. So you cannot have a tax on a slave prior to the Civil War because it would be a direct tax. It would be a tax on an object, on a person. You can't have a poll tax because that's a tax on you as an individual going to vote. You could not have an income tax because it could not be levied in proportion to the people. In 1895, there's this case, Pollock versus Farmers' Loan and Trust Company. It was a tax case.
This was a bill filed by Charles Pollock of Massachusetts on behalf of himself and other shareholders against the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, a corporation of New York and its directors alleging the capital stock of the corporation consists of a million dollars divided into 40,000 shares on a par value of $25. The company was authorized to invest its assets in public stocks and bonds of the United State and they were taxed. They were taxed on the money coming in.
The Supreme Court said, "You can't tax that. You can't tax income." A tax on the rents or income of real estate is a direct tax. It's prohibited by the Constitution. A tax on income derived from the interest of bonds issued by governmental bonds tends to be tax-free. This case from 1895 stated you can't tax income from the interest of bonds issued by a municipal corporation. It's a tax on the power of the state and the instrumentalities to borrow money. It's repugnant to the Constitution. Those are the words from the case.
Here's the other thing. You can't tax assets. This is where the Democrats are headed and why even Elizabeth Warren today is walking away from a tax on unrealized capital gains. Everybody forgot about the Pollock case from 1895. You can't tax assets. The federal government can't. States can because there's not a restriction on the states. This is a restriction on Congress. Congress cannot tax your property because it is an asset. Congress cannot tax your house because it is property. Congress cannot tax your portfolio.
Now, Congress can tax the income. So if you sell it and you get money from it and you've made a profit, Congress can tax that because that's income under the definition of this 1895 case. So the idea that Congress is going to tax your unrealized gains is simply unconstitutional. Not only would it be unconstitutional, though, but it would also wreak havoc on the economy because it would force the billionaires to sell their stock. It would force the billionaires to do this.
The other thing they want to do is place a minimum tax on corporations. That's probably not going to work either. Do you know why American corporations don't pay taxes? The left would have you believe it's because they're hiding their money. The left would have you believe it's because they're putting stuff offshore. To some degree they do, but you know by and large why, it's because companies like Apple have converted everything to clean new energy and they've deducted the cost of doing that. It's what Congress wants them to do.
Other companies have made investments in worker education and so they deduct those costs. It's what Congress wants them to do. So if you force a minimum 15% tax on their profits, the companies are going to stop doing those things. The reason companies don't pay taxes in this country is not because they're hiding money. It's because Congress has given them a bunch of deductions and credits to do things that otherwise taxpayers would have to do and the companies do it and it's a good thing they do.
The left forgets all of that. The left, of course, forgets the Constitution. In 1895, the United States Supreme Court said the federal government cannot tax your property and your assets. They cannot tax your income. It forced a Constitutional amendment, and in the great debate of the Constitutional amendment on the income tax, some argued that they should be able to tax property and assets and that should be included. In the debate over the 16th Amendment, two-thirds of Congress said no, only income, not assets, not property, not real property.
Thus to this day, Congress cannot impose a property tax on you, which means they cannot tax your assets, which means they cannot tax the unrealized gains of your assets even as they're trying to come up with a way to apply a real tax to that imaginary money called your unrealized gains. The Democrats want to tax everything. Thank God for the Constitution.

This is a transcript from my radio show. You can listen to the podcast clip above.
Debbie Dingell is a Congresswoman from Michigan. She was on television this morning talking about the infrastructure bill.
Debbie Dingell:Jake, I'm going to approach this differently than you are. The fact of the matter is, the speaker is working very hard. And there is nobody I know ... I'm a seasoned soul around the Capitol. I was married to a master legislator. There is nobody better at legislating. She is trying to get a path to get there. And Democrats are united, that failure is not an option.Debbie Dingell:She's working very hard with the White House, the president, the Senate, and members of the caucus, who are united. 96% of us are like, it's very simple. We've got to have both of these bills. The president's vision, when he ran, was the build Back Better plan. And she is trying to get a path that all of us together can agree on and vote on. And we'll see when that happens.
Democrats are working hard to get a bill passed. To a degree, Pelosi has a difficult job. The progressives really think they're in charge and have forgotten that there is a system they have to work through. Jonah Goldberg wrote a brilliant book years ago you should read, called Liberal Fascism. It documents how actually fascism isn't a conservative ideology. It was actually a very progressive ideology. In the 1920s, American progressives embraced fascism and Mussolini. I mean, it was Margaret Sanger who flirted with Hitler. One of the things about fascism that has always been intriguing to progressives is that you snap your finger and you get something done. You make the trains run on time.
I was on a train with Tom Friedman one time. It was the Acela Express from New York to Washington. I'll never forget, we're coming into Washington and the porter tries to take his stuff from him. He just blows up at the porter and actually says something along the lines of, this would never happen in China, or some such. There are people on the left who love authoritarianism. They just didn't like Donald Trump. They're perfectly fine with authoritarianism as long as they're in charge of it.
The progressives to a degree, are those people. They try to make everything about race and white supremacy because they want to delegitimize the system. Here is Ayanna Pressley talking about abortion yesterday in the House of Representatives.Ayanna Pressley:These misguided bans will not actually prevent all abortions. They simply put safe and necessary abortion care out of reach for our most vulnerable. Specifically, our lowest-income sisters, our queer, trans, and non-binary siblings. Black Latinx, AAPI immigrants, disabled, and indigenous folks. And none of this is happenstance. It is precise. Like the roots of the anti-abortion movement, these bans are rooted in patriarchy and white supremacy.
Patriarchy and white supremacy. See, anything they don't like is patriarchy and white supremacy. Anything is. I mean, they play the race card because they want to delegitimize so that they can advance. Progressives are impatient.
Back to Jonah Goldberg's book, Liberal Fascism. One of the points he makes is that the left has no sense of history because they don't believe they have to worry about history. They can always advance.
There's an impatience with progressivism because they are intent on progress, progress in their direction. But what's it getting them? Nothing right now. They didn't get anything they wanted. They've had nothing. So they're amplifying their delegitimization of the system, the Senate, the filibuster, the states, the Constitution, whatever they can, to try to get something and it's not working for them.
Now, they're going to get something. The problem here is that a lot of progressives are zealots for their cause. So they'll get something, but it won't be what they want completely. They won't like it, but they'll have to accept it. They'll have to learn to compromise. I'm sympathetic here in this degree. In 2004, some friends of mine got me to help them start redstate.com and put me in charge of it. Red State was kind of on the vanguard of conservative activism of the day. We were the Tea party before there was a Tea party.
And we would fight the Bush administration on, well, the Harriet Miers nomination, on immigration, on the budget, on spending, on No Child Left Behind. We fought Republicans. We wanted our way or the highway. We wanted government shutdowns. I still like government shutdowns. We were willing to hold the debt ceiling hostage. We were willing to shoot the hostages and we never really got our way. In fact, on occasion, we would pick candidates to run, and they would lose in primaries. Mitch McConnell and others would destroy them. Or, in the case of Indiana, we beat Dick Lugar with Richard Murdoch and then Murdoch floundered in the general election.
To some degree, that caused Donald Trump, the establishment fighting back. They would never give conservatives what they wanted. They would make a lot of promises, and then they would never keep their promises and it made a lot of us mad. A lot of conservatives who were so tired of the broken promises of the establishment, finally said, you know what? Let's find someone to burn it all down. And they ultimately settled on Donald Trump.
If you paid careful attention, you saw the establishment consume parts of the Trump administration. The Export-Import Bank is still around. Corporate America has hooks in a lot of things. Although not as many things as some people think. There are real conspiracy theories out there, like pharmaceutical companies and ivermectin and suppression of truth and stuff like that, which is kind of kooky conspiracy theory stuff. I'm surprised by the number of smart people who believe this stuff. It's not always “follow the money,” you know. Sometimes it is.
I am very sympathetic to watching Democrats promise all sorts of things to progressives and then stab them in the back, because it happened to me as a conservative activist. Now, that tells me as well that the progressives will ultimately get their own Donald Trump. The difference between conservatives and progressives on this front is that the media will never, ever admit that that's what's happened. You will never see the media demand progressive's distance themselves from their own version of Trump, because they'll never acknowledge that it's the truth.
This is going to break the Democratic party and one of the reasons it's going to break the Democratic party is because of climate change. Climate change is becoming the sinister issue of the era for the left. They genuinely are appalled at what they see as the future of the country in terms of climate. Greta Thunberg made an appearance yesterday.Greta Thunberg:This is all we hear from our so-called leaders, words. Words that sound great, but so far has led to no action. Build Back Better. Blah-blah-blah. Green economy, blah-blah-blah. Net zero by 2050, blah, blah blah.
Hear that? She's a true believer. She's a zealot. She's been taken advantage of by others older than her, and they really told her, you got a decade left, kid, or you're going to die. A lot of the progressives believe this. A lot of them believe they're going to die. We're all going to die. The world is going to cross a tipping point from which there will be no return. We will have Waterworld. Kevin Costner will be leader Supreme.
Notice her attack on Build Back Better, blah, blah, blah. That's a slam at Joe Biden and the progressives believe it. See, they have substituted real religion for something they themselves have made. We live in Romans 1 times. They worship creation, not the Creator. They have internalized that the world is going to burn. It is, just not the way they think.
They genuinely believe that we have a decade left. You and I can say, well, 30 years ago they were saying we had a decade left. 20 years ago they were saying we had a decade left. 10 years ago they were saying we had a decade left. They always say, we got a decade left. It's always a decade left. They were saying by 2013, there would be no ice left in the Arctic. They were saying by 2020, the glaciers would have all melted in Antarctica. They're still there.
But just because they were wrong about the date, doesn't mean they don't believe it. All of those eschatologically affixed Protestant prophets who claim the end times are upon us and Jesus is coming back yesterday, they still believe Jesus is coming back, they just got the date wrong. When they predict the end of the world is upon us and it doesn't happen, it doesn't mean they think they’re fundamentally wrong, they just think they got the date wrong. The progressives think the same thing. The progressives think we've got about a decade left or else.
So they off to compromise with themselves, down from $6 trillion to $5 trillion to $3 trillion and here comes Joe Manchin. He says, nope. 1.5 or else. Now progressives are going to have to pick, what is really important to them? What's really important to the progressives? Is it expanding the social safety welfare net or is it stopping the world from burning? Pick. By the way, if they pick climate change, Joe Manchin says they still can't ban fossil fuels.
Not only will Joe Manchin tell them they can't get rid of fossil fuels, but they're not allowed to get rid of the subsidies, the tax credits, and tax deductions for oil drillers and oil providers, and oil refiners. They're not allowed to do that. Joe Manchin says he'll kill the deal if they try to do that. To make matters worse for them, Joe Manchin wants to be in charge of the clean energy standards. He doesn't want Bernie Sanders to do it. Bernie Sanders says this could kill off any hope of solving the climate crisis. Yeah. That's kind of Joe Manchin's point.
The left now has to choose in a way conservatives have never had to choose. You see, conservatives have never really believed that if we didn't get what we wanted, the world would end. We may think the American way of life would end. We may think that the country could be upended. Progressives really, truly, genuinely, honestly believe that if they don't get what they want, the entire world will end. Our way of life won't go away, we will go away. They've internalized that.
Along comes a Democrat. They are in the Democratic party. One of their allies in the Democratic party, two of them no less, on behalf of multiple more, are saying, we don't believe this. You may have internalized it as religious dogma, but we don't believe it. The progressives believe they're right. They believe in the certainty of their cause. You've got Ezra Klein in the New York Times and someone else in the New Yorker, openly interviewing a man and talking about his book that now advocates for enviro-terrorism around the world. Bombings around the world. That environmentalists need to learn how to make pipe bombs to blow up oil refineries. That's how desperate they're getting.
Meanwhile, Joe Manchin is saying I don't care and we're not getting rid of fossil fuels. What do you do? You have internalized that mankind has a decade left and a majority of your party believes it. Do you compromise with Manchin or do you try to work the system? Or do you try to trust Joe Biden to do it? There's no easy path forward for the people who believe the sky is falling.
It's going to be really fun to watch.

A research paper out the other day showed people who are vaccinated are more prone to anxiety during this phase of COVID. It is weird, but it seems to be real. We see it all the time with people freaking out over their unvaccinated neighbors, etc.
But anxiety is running deeper than that. A lot of people are anxious right now for a lot of reasons. A person who struggled with anxiety for a while and worked to overcome it is Erik Reed.
Erik is a pastor in Tennessee. He and his wife had a son who was born with cysts in his kidneys. At two years old, the doctors recommended surgery to remove the bad kidney, but the surgeons accidentally removed both kidneys. Erik began to grapple with bouts of anxiety and panic attacks. He spent a lot of time struggling and found peace by learning to trust God.
He’s written a book called Uncommon Trust. It is a book for people who are struggling with anxiety. I spoke to him about his experience and his book. You can order his book here.
On a personal note, his book has been profoundly beneficial for me to read. It is about 100 pages. It is not a long read. But it is a deep read.

Yesterday, I spoke with Brigadier General Larry Dudney (Ret.). He was in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, watching the television news of planes hitting the World Trade Center. He went to answer the phone and a friend on the other side of the Pentagon told him it had to be a terrorist attack. About that time, the walls caved in around him. This is my conversation with him.

Joshua Youssef, President of Help The Persecuted, joined me on radio to share what his team is doing in Afghanistan. You can help Joshua and his team here. They have 200 families they are trying to get out of Afghanistan. Even though the US government has given up, Help the Persecuted has not. But they need your help.
This is the transcript from the interview.
Erick:
Joining me by phone, an organization I talk about a lot has help the persecuted around the world. They help particularly persecuted Christians escape persecution. They've been active in Afghanistan, and joining me is the head of Help the Persecuted, my friend, Josh Youssef. Josh, how are you?
Josh Youssef:
I'm tired, Erick, but I'm glad to be on with you.
Erick:
Yeah, well, I bet you're tired. You've had a busy couple of weeks. And if you would just tell people about what you've gone through these last couple of weeks.
Josh Youssef:
We got word that the Taliban had taken over Kabul last week and the week previous, and our field team began mobilizing and trying to get out of Kabul airport and just were unsuccessful. We tried all sorts of ways to get them out. It's about 150 staff with families, could not get them out Kabul airport. And they ended up heading a different direction. And in that time from heading to Kabul airport to this other location, some of them decided, you know what? We're going to stay back and we're going to stay back and help more people escape. So we're moving some of the team out of the country, those that are more vulnerable or what we call higher value targets, HPTs. And then we're keeping a core group of people in country to help others get out either by ground or by air.
Erick:
Gosh, so I mean, how many people do you have behind?
Josh Youssef:
Right? Currently, still 150 staff with families. You're probably looking at about 300 when you add in all their family members. We'll keep a skeleton crew back. Right now, we've identified about 500 in what we call MBBs, Muslim background believers. So converts from Islam, 500 families that want to get out. Our core team will remain on ground to do what we think is about another week left of air movement, not from Kabul, from a different location. And then another part of our project is a longer term project where we think that number will grow to about a thousand convert families that we're looking at more long-term solutions to keep them in country. And over time, onesies and twosies, as we say, getting them out of the country.
Erick:
And I know you do this, not just in Afghanistan. How does Help the Persecuted help those in country avoid capture, torture, death? How do you protect them?
Josh Youssef:
Right now, we're looking at funds in through a system, a fund distribution there, and then we're also topping up their cell phones ... top up their cards in order for them to be able to keep communicating. And then also working on, like I said, the next probably seven days, we think we've got some air movement where we can actually get some of these people out. The ones that stay, we're using a specific banking system to be able to get funds to them, those that stay behind.
Erick:
I know you can't reveal everything that you guys do, but what goes into building a network of people willing to help inside a country like Afghanistan or Iraq for that matter?
Josh Youssef:
In this case, my number two, and he's really my partner in this ministry, he had spent a lot of time in Afghanistan. He was one of the first ones in with the troops after 9/11. And he had a partnership with an organization that had all these staff. These staff are now part of our team on the ground, and those are the ones I'm referring to. They were doing great work. For the last 20 years, they worked women empowerment and schools, preschools, all sorts of agricultural projects. They were working with the U.S. government, USAID and others to partner to do this.
Josh Youssef:
And this is the thing, Erick. I mean, these people work for government agencies and they were just left, and that makes them a target. They are what we call HVTs, high value targets, because of what they were doing to help Americans and national Afghan forces, which is in a sense, a lot of it was in counter to what the Taliban wanted to be seen. And so, they're at great risk.
Erick:
Yeah. And I mean, obviously prayer is something that all of us should be doing in situations like this, but with them being at risk, I mean, what real-world things do you guys try to do on the ground with them and for them?
Josh Youssef:
Yeah. So in most cases, we look at emergency relief kits that are in ... that's what we do primarily in the middle east. And again, in this case, it's going to be safe housing, topping up their cell phone cards, and then getting funds to them to sustain them. That's the longterm goal that we have in this project.
Erick:
Now, okay. Let's talk real world. Once you get someone out of the country, what happens? Where do they go? What do you do?
Josh Youssef:
It's really complicated right now, but if they have an SIV or a P2 or [inaudible 00:05:48] a U.S. passport or green card, we can pretty much get them to a holding facility in Doha or in Rammstein, in Germany, and then they get processed. Now, the state department has not been helpful here, I mean, super unhelpful here. I cannot state that more emphatically. They have changed the bar and moved the bar so many times. And we keep hearing from even other nations, members of parliament of other nations saying to us, Hey, your government does not want this. They do not want these people moving. They're trying to put a lid on this so that it ... I don't know if they don't want the optics of it or what the political reason is, but they have created this huge mess. And then they're just trying to push this lid down and keep all these people in.
Josh Youssef:
So if we can't get them into these facilities, sometimes these facilities will run at 150% capacity in Doha and Germany, there are other countries that we're talking to you right now about taking them. Hungary, for instance, where we're in conversations with the Hungarian government, wonderful people. And they're weighing this up and other nations are starting to say, Hey, we'll take them. So those are possibilities too. If we can get them to neighboring countries or way station countries, we might be able to get them to these long-term countries other than the United States as well.
Erick:
Well, that's refreshing at least, but now let's step out of Afghanistan, because Help the Persecuted ... And for those of you just tuning in, I'm talking to Josh Youssef who runs Help the Persecuted. And Josh, you don't just focus on Afghanistan. You've got a lot of people involved across the middle east in this mission. Talk to me about that a little bit.
Josh Youssef:
Yeah. So we have staff stretched from Morocco all the way to almost the Iranian border, and handling some of the Iranian cases coming into other countries. They respond to cases of persecution, imprisonment, what we call civic death. That's where communities, families take away driver's license, passport, the ability for someone to earn a living. And they begin to stranglehold that person to get them to come back to Islam. So our teams will come in. We've done some evacuations in some cases, safe housing, we've paid for lawyer's bills. We pay for airline tickets, bus tickets. We've done loans to help people get a business started in a community where they're not encouraged to earn a living and be independent. So we sometimes have to move them from one town to the other, or sometimes from one Arab state to another Arab state where they can take on a new identity.
Erick:
Gosh, and I know back in June, you guys were trying to get out of Iraq, someone who was actually descended from the prophet Muhammad.
Josh Youssef:
That's right. Yeah, two men from Northern Iraq and we got them out. They're in another country right now. And it was one of those moments for us where it was touch and go. We didn't think we'd be able to get them out, but we did. And God's really doing amazing things in their lives that one of them is even considering seminary and Bible college. And it's going to be awesome to see what God does to use him in a way that reaches his population for the gospel for Jesus.
Erick:
Let's talk about you in this, because you and I met in seminary. Your dad, Michael, is the senior pastor at Church of the Apostles. And what got you into particularly helping the persecuted church around the world. I mean, why is this mission for you?
Josh Youssef:
9/11 was a seminal moment for me. And I realized at that moment that this was not going to be a war necessarily won by bombs and guns and on a battlefield, but on a spiritual level. And so I became really just touched by these MBBs, these Muslim background believers, and what they would share with me in terms of ... I know you and I went to a reform seminary that didn't know what box to put this in. But we were hearing about dreams and visions that these Muslims were having about Jesus. And these kinds of conversations for me were just ... they just uplifted me in such a way that I realized that this was the way that we were going to win this war against groups like ISIS and Taliban.
Josh Youssef:
And so I started in media ministry towards these people, and then became just really passionate about more of a ground game effort. How do we actually come alongside these people physically and actually present the gospel personally, but also walk them through their time of weakness. 9/11 was a big moment for me, and that's how I first got into this.
Erick:
Now, what is the biggest threat obviously to the individual terrorist groups, the Taliban and the like? But to Help The Persecutor, what's the biggest threat to an organization like you being able to fulfill your mission?
Josh Youssef:
Well, yeah. And to that end, we have had some safe houses broken into and raided. Having that breakdown of security is something that is a threat to us. We can't afford to have a safe house breached because of the ripple effect that it would have into the larger, broader MBB community. But yeah, that's probably the one that we worry about most is whether or not ... that our people are safe on the ground.
Erick:
Well, and circling back to Afghanistan now, with people on the ground and trying to get them out. The government, it looks like really in the last month or so has been rushing to get people out. When did you guys really put an effort into thinking you're going to have to start extracting people from Afghanistan?
Josh Youssef:
Yeah, it was really our partner who called and he said, Josh, we need your help because my guys are stuck. We don't have the money to fly them out. We don't have the resources, the political clout. And so we came together along with previous administration, White House administration officials, former CIA, former counter-terrorism people, former military guys, NGOs, former state department workers, so many people you knew really well, Erick, and we have been doing group meetings every day on zoom to discuss how we can solve this crisis and work together. And all the major players are on those calls. And that's how we got brought in, was really through our partner.
Josh Youssef:
And our partner has really become critical to this because of his having lived there for 20 years, his staff are super knowledgeable about the region and very, very capable people. And so I just feel ... I was humbled when they said some of us are going to stay back and we're going to help. So, that has put us in a position to really serve a lot more people than what we thought we were going to do when we initially looked at this operation.
Erick:
Now, last thing for you before you get off here. Tell me just a little bit about the ... I can hear it in your voice, the weariness, the toll this has taken on you right now.
Josh Youssef:
It's hard, Erick. I mean, I've got this girl calling me from Kabul and I sent you her voicemail. I mean, these people are saying, you have to save me, you have to help me. My dad is missing. My dad was taken by the Taliban. You have to get me out, and we're not sleeping. I mean, we're all sleeping a couple of hours here and there. We get up in the middle of night, we start working with evac teams and charter operators and contractors. But it's that voicemail that just propelled me and keeps driving me to help her. I've got a picture on my desk of a couple of girls that are the daughters of one of our key people on the ground. They're converts from Islam and that just drives me. It drives me all night and all day.
Erick:
Well, Josh, listen, I know it is grueling, and I could hear it in your voice without even having to ask you about that. And I appreciate the work you're doing. And for those of you listening, if you want to help, Help the Persecuted, if you text the word donate to 33777, you will get back a link from me. Josh set this up, so you guys will get credit for helping them track through that URL, and anything you can help. They got to raise some money to help keep getting people out of Afghanistan, in the middle east in general. And Josh, I sure appreciate the work you're doing. And legitimately just thank you so much for stopping by and doing what you're doing.
Josh Youssef:
Well, I'm grateful, Erick. You're my only friend that has an HDP URL, http.org/erick, E-R-I-C-K.
Erick:
Well, we will keep it going. Josh Youssef, thank you so much.
Josh Youssef:
Love you, man. Thank you.
Erick:
Thank you. Help the Persecuted is the organization from Morocco to Afghanistan. They're helping people in Afghanistan. They've still got to evacuate people, even though the U.S. government isn't. If you want to help, text the word donate to 33777. Every dollar goes to helping them evacuate people from Afghanistan right now. Text the word donate to 33777.

This is the transcript from my radio interview with Latham Saddler. You can get more exclusive content by subscribing below for $7/month or $70/year.
Erick:
Now look, I've got to caveat this one coming out of the gate here because I've got a guest on with me. He's also a candidate for office, and I know how this works. I put a candidate for office on and every other candidate running for that office is like my turn, my turn, my turn. No, the hell it's not. It's my show, and I have someone on not to talk about politics and campaigns, but to talk about his background.
He was active duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. He worked as a Director of Intelligence programs on the National Security Council in the Trump administration. He joined the Seals after 9-11, and I want to talk to him about that experience in Afghanistan. His name is Latham Saddler, a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. Welcome to the program.
Latham Saddler:
Erick, Thank you so much. It's an honor to be on the show here today.
Erick:
Now I will violate my opening here and ask you one thing because the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a hit job out on you today that in 2004, in the Presidential campaign, you ventured into a Democratic Presidential primary in North Carolina. If I recall right, that was the year Rush Limbaugh was telling conservatives they should go in and try to keep Howard Dean alive.
Latham Saddler:
Yeah, that's right. I woke up this morning and saw that and considered that a badge of honor that my opponents are scraping the bottom of the barrel of the object to try and take me down with the fact that as a teenager, I once thought I was a Democrat and then quickly learned about the world. And that was due to a lack of real-world experiences.
And then in 2004, I could not stand John Kerry. So it was an honor to vote against him twice. As you know, we didn't have a Presidential primary since George W. Bush was running for re-election, so voted in the rest of the Republican primaries, but I took an opportunity to aim at John Kerry twice. And I sure as heck am not ashamed of that.
Erick:
Good for you. Man, that guy... Now let's talk about your experience. First of all, how did you get into the military?
Latham Saddler:
So look, I was up at the University of Georgia having the time of my life and 9-11 happened. It changed all of our lives forever, certainly changed mine, Erick. I didn't have plans to join the military, and a switch went off on that day for me. And I ended up on a long journey to becoming a Navy Seal and ended up living in the region of central Asia for a full academic year while I was learning the Persian language of Farsi and Dari.
I lived in Tajikistan, and gosh, this week has been a heartbreaker for me because it's close to home. I backpacked through Afghanistan back in 2009 when I was over there and then later deployed there as a Navy Seal with my brothers and sisters in the teams. And I'm fluent in the language, and so this week has been pretty jarring for all of us, and it certainly has for me as well.
Erick:
Before we get into Afghanistan let me ask you, just given your background there and the people you keep into contact with, the mental health issue of those who fought, lost colleagues there, seen what President Biden is doing, and the chaos after the long-fought war. I don't know if you were listening earlier. I played the audio of a British member of Parliament who said it wasn't a never-ending war. It was a never-ending peace if we had maintained it. It was a war to get to that peace, and we've squandered the peace. And really just your thoughts on the strain, the taxing strain on mental health that's got to be for the soldiers.
Latham Saddler:
Yeah, I'm very concerned about that, Erick. I mean, obviously a lot of folks that experienced combat over there struggle with mental issues, and I think for anybody, whether you do or not, to see how everything was thrown away after 20 years, it's heartbreaking. I mean, it really is.
And look, I'll tell you, Erick, I fall in the category of, I don't believe in perpetual foreign wars without an end state. I think that there are a lot of lessons learned that need to come from this, but the way this was done, I mean, there were multiple options. I mean, whether it was a limited footprint within the country, a footprint without to give us the same capability to prevent another 9-11. And it's how this was done that is just such a heartbreaker. And the fact that it's going to put a forever stain on our entire country due to just a complete lack of leadership at the top and poor execution on the ground. It's just, it's very troublesome.
Erick:
Now tell me, John King was on the other day, Major General, and also now Georgia Insurance Commissioner, talked about the number of people who have reached out to him via WhatsApp from Afghanistan, just trying to get their kids out of the situation, not themselves. I assume you've got similar contacts over there. Are you talking to anyone, or what are you hearing?
Latham Saddler:
Yeah, I'm talking to a few folks. I've had a bunch of folks reach out to me in that capacity and getting my thoughts on the matter. Just given that I've got kind of a unique, multiple unique lenses to view this situation through. I mean, number one, Erick, I'm gravely concerned about the number of Americans that are still over there. It's very concerning that we could end up with the largest hostage crisis that our country has ever seen due to just an entire lack of planning and execution on the ground.
And then of course, I think about the Afghans that hosted me so graciously when I was a graduate student backpacking through the region, and they talked about their experiences during the Taliban era and the atrocities that they experienced and how much they enjoyed their freedom.
And then of course the Afghans that we fought with over there in Afghanistan. I mean, all these folks' lives are in jeopardy, and it didn't have to be this way. So it's just rough to watch, man. It's a heartbreaker for sure.
Erick:
Now for awhile you were with the National Security Council for President Trump. I know he wanted to get out of Afghanistan and ultimately gave the order to wind down. What was it like being in the National Security Council for President Trump at the time?
Latham Saddler:
Yeah. So look, for me, I was there the first two and a half years of the Administration. The first year and a half of that was while I was still in the Navy on active duty, as you mentioned on the National Security Council. And then I was a White House Fellow working on domestic policy issues for an additional year.
And I'll tell you on the national security front especially, it was an honor to do the work that we did. I mean, we put our adversaries on their heels. They felt the strength emanating out of America, and I had experienced the opposite of that, Erick. In 2015, I led a 25 person element in Iraq. Interestingly, it was the same time that our current Secretary of Defense was CENTCOM Commander. I was not impressed by him then. And we had our hands tied. I mean, we were not allowed to do much in 2015 because of micromanagement out of the White House from folks that just had no idea what was going on on the ground.
And I promised myself after that experience, Erick, if I ever have the opportunity to serve on the National Security Council staff, I'm going to do it. And I'm going to reverse that way of doing business. And I'll tell you, we empowered the inner agency, the Department of Defense and the intelligence community, the State Department to do their jobs because they're the experts. But we were also very thoughtful about everything we did. We'd ask ourselves four questions when it came to any critical decision in our activities overseas, Erick. We asked ourselves, what is the end state? How much does it cost? How long will it take? And who else can do this with us or without us?
And there were a bunch of people up there, Erick, that had the experience on the ground. And when you look at the cast of characters that are in the White House right now, it's no wonder that they didn't even think through the fact that there's a fighting season in Afghanistan that starts in the spring and goes through the summer. And the fact that they announced this in the spring and then pull the plug at the height of fighting season and then act surprised when the Taliban takes over the country, I mean it just shows you the type of folks that are up there making critical decisions on behalf of our country.
Erick:
Now let me bring some politics into this. You're running against Raphael Warnock. Well, first you've got to make it through a Republican primary in Georgia to go up against Raphael Warnock. John King, the Georgia Insurance Commissioner, said Tom Cotton from Arkansas, who is a veteran, was actively trying to help John King's contacts, but Warnock and Ossoff are nowhere to be seen and not returning phone calls.
And in fact, I've tried to find any of their public statements and really can't find them saying anything about the Afghan situation right now. And look, here's your opportunity to chime in on them going into hiding like Kamala Harris.
Latham Saddler:
Yeah. I mean, it's unbelievable. And this underscores, Erick, why Georgia has always had a proud tradition of having national security experts in the United States Senate from our state. We had Richard B. Russell back in the day. We had Sam Nunn, who ensured we won the Cold War. We had Johnny, we had Saxy, we had David who all fought the good fight on these issues. And now for the first time, since World War II, we don't have a United States Senator on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And these folks have no idea about these issues. It's no wonder they're silent because if they spoke, I think they'd trip up.
And it's one of the reasons why I got into this race because, Erick, I got a firsthand view of our national security apparatus, both on one end of that spectrum, executing U.S. foreign policy on the ground with my brothers in the team, but then also at the decision-making table at the White House.
And I saw the blood and guts of our Pentagon as well as our intelligence community. And there's folks doing great work for the country, but they are in desperate need, Erick, of modern reforms for the way warfare has changed.
Somebody needs to get up there and do what Sam Nunn did in the '80s and '90s to reform those institutions and make sure that we're ready for any sort of war around the corner. And that's not happening. And the fascinating thing to learn at the White House, though, is whoever up the President of the United States is they don't have the power to make those institutional changes. The only way you can do that is on Capitol Hill in the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Senate Appropriations Committee. They control the funding and the authorities, but those folks don't necessarily get the full picture that a handful of folks at the White House get, depending on where they're perched.
I'll tell you, Erick, I can not wait to get up there and make change because our country needs it. Georgia deserves to have a national security expert in the Senate. Georgia deserves to have somebody that actually has experience on these issues, both on the ground and at the national level of policymaking. And I tell folks, my wife is very concerned that I'm never going to sleep again because if I'm in that seat, I'm going to wake up at 4:00 AM, just ready to roar every day.
Erick:
Best of luck to you out on the campaign trail. And I really appreciate you stopping by and talking about your experience there. I know it's got to be taxing on you given what is now being given up there and your service to the country. So one, thank you for your service, and two, very much thank you for stopping by.
Latham Saddler:
Well, thank you for your kind words, Erick. Just know that you're worth it and the country's worth it. And this week has been rough indeed, but it just affirms even more that it was the right decision to jump in this arena to put country-first leaders back up in Washington to right the ship. So thank you. It's an honor to be on the show, and I look forward to meeting you in person.
Erick:
Yeah, me too. Thanks very much. Latham Saddler. He's a candidate for the United States Senate in the Republican primary in Georgia. He was a Navy Seal, backpacked through Afghanistan, learned the language. He's also one of those rare people who went to University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, undergrad at UGA and got his master's at Georgia Tech, and served for President Trump on the National Security Council.

I sat down with the 70th Secretary of State of the United States, Mike Pompeo. I asked him about China and the virus, but I also asked him about UFOs and whether he thinks China or other nations have leaped ahead of us technologically. He was, naturally, very diplomatic in his UFO answers.
Secretary Pompeo also now has a new group, CAVPAC, which is engaging in political races around the country down to the city council level. That makes his new group very intriguing.
We talked about all those things and the possibilities of Chinese propaganda stirring up the pot in this country. He actually thinks that is not conspiracist to think. You can listen to the whole conversation at the link above.

Social media companies are snooping on you. There’s a conspiracy theory that they’re listening to you. They aren’t. That has been thoroughly debunked. But some people still believe the conspiracy theory because the advertising is so precise.
The reality is that social media companies and advertisers do not need to listen in on your conversations. They have access to way more information and better information to more precisely target you.
Instead of the usual news and politics, I wanted to serve up this segment of my show from today to explain to you how the internet is watching you and building up a psychographic profile of you to know just when you might need toilet paper or toothpaste.

This is the transcript of a radio monologue from my morning show. You can listen live weekdays from nine to noon here or catch the podcast here.
I referenced this story in the New York Times when I talked to Lila Rose from Live Action this morning on my radio program.
“The front door of the Hidalgo County Republican Party’s office is covered with photographs of high-profile politicians in the party: Gov. Greg Abbott, Senator John Cornyn and former President Donald J. Trump. Nearly all of them are white men.
Step inside, and you’ll see a bulletin board with pictures of local Republican leaders: Adrienne Pena-Garza, Hilda Garza DeShazo, Mayra Flores. Nearly all of them are Hispanic women.
Hispanic Republicans, especially women, have become something of political rock stars in South Texas after voters in the Rio Grande Valley shocked leaders in both parties in November by swinging sharply toward the G.O.P. Here in McAllen, one of the region’s largest cities, Mr. Trump received nearly double the number of votes he did four years earlier; in the Rio Grande Valley over all, President Biden won by just 15 percentage points, a steep slide from Hillary Clinton’s 39-point margin in 2016.
That conservative surge — and the liberal decline — has buoyed the Republican Party’s hopes about its ability to draw Hispanic voters into what has long been an overwhelmingly white political coalition and to challenge Democrats in heavily Latino regions across the country. Now party officials, including Mr. Abbott, the governor, have flocked to the Rio Grande Valley in a kind of pilgrimage, eager to meet the people who helped Republicans rapidly gain ground in a longtime Democratic stronghold.
One of those people, Ms. Pena-Garza, the chair of the Hidalgo County Republican Party, grew up the daughter of a Democratic state legislator. As was common for most Hispanic families in the area, she said, voting for Democrats was a given. But after her father switched parties in 2010, Ms. Pena-Garza soon followed, arguing that Democrats had veered too far to the left, particularly on issues like abortion and gun control.
One of the lingering questions of the 2020 election is just what drove this region — and other heavily Hispanic areas of the country — toward Republicans. The shift appeared to be particularly acute among women who call themselves conservative, according to a post-mortem analysis by Equis Labs, a Democratic-aligned research firm that studies Latino voters.”
Culture Matters
Culture is shaping voters. We hear the mainstream media and establishment types on the left and the right claim Republicans are too busy fighting over Dr. Seuss to pick a fight on the budget. This is partially true. Republicans don't have the will to pick a fight on the budget because they lost all of their credibility on fiscal responsibility, and frankly, there is a growing movement within the Republican Party to be less small government-oriented and less fiscally restrained. This movement within the Republican Party aims to be socially conservative and fiscally liberal. Frankly, that's the sweet spot in American politics. People in the beltway don't seem to understand.
A third party in this country could arise tomorrow and become the dominant party in America if it was socially conservative and fiscally liberal. This won’t happen because the Republican Party is already morphing into this. It's shifting away from fiscally conservatism and towards a proactive form of government that remains socially conservative. This makes no sense to those in the media.
A story was done recently that made this point with non-Cuban Hispanic voters in Florida. Cuban voters in Florida tend to always vote Republican, but non-Cuban Hispanic voters were presumed to cause the state to shift to the Democrats. This never happened. In fact, they've caused the state to shift to the Republicans. Why? Hispanic moms want their kids to be safe and find good, middle-class jobs. They perceive the Democrats are hostile to all of those things.
There's something bigger the data suggests and I think the New York Times is unable to recognize it. The cultural issues of the GOP (pro-life, pro-police, and anti-Black Lives Matters among others) are persuading Hispanic voters to move to the GOP. This phrase in the New York Times is fascinating: "Republicans have portrayed national Democrats as hostile toward the police," The reality is Republicans don't have to portray the Democrats as that because the Democrats portray themselves as that. The Republicans don't have to suggest that Democrats want to defund the police when Democrats will tell you they want to defund the police.
For years we’ve just accepted that the nation is socially moving to the left. It turns out that's not the case. In Hollywood and other major cities, this may be happening but not everywhere else. Hispanic voters are one of the fastest-growing demographics and continue to be one of the most conservative groups in the country. This can be said about black voters as well. While the data is not there to show major trend lines for black voters moving to the GOP, I think it is only a matter of time before they do. As the Democratic Party gets richer, whiter, more secular, and woke, culturally conservative voters will leave them.
James Carville went on the Sunday shows talking about woke-ism and how the faculty lounges of America are causing Democrats to lose. Here's what he had to say.
Bernie did not agree.
Woke-ism is not selling people on the Democratic Party. It's moving Hispanic voters and some black men to the Republican Party. Moms would like to know their children are safe. Moms would like to sleep well at night, knowing the bad man is not going to break in and get their kids.
In growing parts of our society, people are walking away. Just take unemployment right now. You can make $31,000 to $32,000 a year on unemployment in this country which is roughly the starting salary of a police officer. Why would you want to go be a police officer in Atlanta, Chicago, or DC, when you could sit at home and collect unemployment without putting a target on your back? Why not? Why wouldn’t you do that?
I don't think that Democrats fundamentally are capable of processing this. They've got a vested stakeholder interest now in going woke. Secular white people have left the Republican party, and in so doing, have shifted the Democratic Party further to the left culturally than it already was before. Increasingly it's signaling that the Democratic Party is hostile to the views of anyone who's culturally conservative. So you've got Hispanic voters, in Texas, Florida, and southern Colorado shifting to the GOP.
The Republican parties made inroads in New Mexico in the Hispanic community while the white hippies voted Democrat. In Arizona, there's ample data suggesting a lot of voters in the Hispanic community are shifting to the right over the cultural issues. They like Democratic fiscal policy, but they're getting more and more of that from the Republicans. It's the social, cultural values where the Democratic party is out to lunch and these voters realize it.
Here's the bottom line: For decades we've heard that demography is destiny and the Republican Party is in decline because Hispanic voters and black voters are always going to vote for Democrats. Increasingly, that's not the case. Demography was only destiny if we wanted it to be, and these voters have decided they don't want it to be because the Democratic Party is shifting towards a secular, rich, white elite class who have nothing in common with these people. Hispanics have more in common with the white working-class that is more and more at home with the Republican Party than they do the faculty lounges of every university that have moved into the Democratic Party.
This, my friends, is going to be a huge shakeup politically in this country if these trends continue.

This is a transcript of my opening monologue on the State of the Union address last night. You can listen live weekdays from nine to noon here or catch the podcast here.
If you're a Republican, you’ve got to be scratching your head over last night. All of us on the right are wondering what exactly is Joe Biden going to do? Is he really going to fundamentally transform America while bankrupting American society? You have to look at that and just be scratching your head. If you're a Republican and you watched that night, God bless you. A friend texted me halfway through it and said he finally had to get up and leave because there were sharp objects in the room and he was afraid of self-harm. However, if you're a Republican, you should be encouraged by what you heard last night.
What you heard last night from Joe Biden is a desperate grab for control. What you heard from Joe Biden last night is a pretty big power play to expand the federal government as quickly as possible by taking control and fundamentally transforming the United States. This was a bold play from Biden. The reason you should be encouraged is the question that all of this raises. Why are Democrats rushing? Why are they moving as quickly as they possibly can to do what they're doing? The reason is they've seen the redistricting numbers. They know where this is headed and they’ve got to do it as quickly as they possibly can because time is running out.
2022
They know the Republicans are going to make massive headway in 2022. That's why you should be encouraged. Joe Biden and the Democrats would not be rushing as quickly as they are into what they're doing, but for the fact that they know without a doubt that Republicans are going to take back the House next year and possibly the Senate. This is why Democrats are rushing.
There are a couple of problems for Democrats that will make rushing more difficult. The first is the filibuster which is not going away. Joe Manchin is signaling again that he is not going to allow the Democrats to get by with the breaking of the filibuster. He's also signaling that he's not going to allow reconciliation for everything they want. Joe Biden now wants about $6 trillion including the COVID relief package that already passed. He is working on the infrastructure plan and will continue to push for some of his brand new LBJ stuff. But there's a level of hubris in what he's doing, and in so doing, he's going to hit a wall.
I think Joe Biden recognizes to a degree that this is inevitable. He can't get Joe Manchin for some things and he can't get Kyrsten Sinema for others. Senator Menendez from New Jersey won’t budge on two major capital gains tax increases. Biden's got to pay for his plan somehow and now he can't. He can't pay for his plan because of the way the Democrats want to operate so he can't get deficit spending to reconciliation. That's something you've got to understand.
The Democrats believe they have a path to an additional reconciliation package. Instead of two this year, they may be able to get three. In so doing, they think they'll have 50 plus one vote to get it done. To do that, they've got to make compromises internally to the Democratic Party where the divides of the party itself will obstruct the Democrat's ability to advance their agenda. For example, House Progressives want deficit spending and are fine raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires. They think part of Biden's plan will be deeply destructive to small businesses so they would prefer deficit spending to mitigate the damage. Axios has this story of this morning. Senate Democrats resist Biden's $1.8 trillion pay for plan.
President Biden is asking Congress to pay for the entirety of his $1.8 trillion American Families Plan. Yet some democratic senators want him to finance it with deficit spending. The Human Infrastructure Proposal, which Biden will formally unveil Wednesday night during his joint session of Congress. This was written right before he spoke is already dead on arrival among Republicans. So the Democratic reaction is key. The American Family Plan would cover support activities such as paid leave, free community college, universal preschool in part by raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. If the White House ultimately tries to force the bill through the budget reconciliation process, it will need every Senate Democrat to come on board. And right now, it's not sure they will.
"I'm not a big pay-for guy," said Brian Schatz of Hawaii. "I think some investments are worth deficit financing. Nobody asks how we're going to pay for the US military. Nobody really asked how we're going to finance the tax cuts for the wealthy. It's only when it comes to progressive priorities that everybody freaks out and tries to find pay fors." Chris Murphy of Connecticut concurred. "I think there's plenty of money in this country to pay for smart investments, but at the same time, if it's a good investment, I don't know that it needs to be fully paid for." These are Democrats talking.
"My view is I think we need to pay for part of it on the infrastructure angle, but not totally," John Tester of the appropriations committee said. "I think we should find a way to pay for half of it upfront. And then hopefully with good infrastructure, it'll create economic growth and give up the other half." Meanwhile, some centrist senators are wary of the $6 trillion price tag of the combined of Joe Biden's three packages, the rescue plan, the jobs plan, and the family plan. "When we're in a crisis, we've got to sometimes take extraordinary steps, which we did," said Mark Kelly of Arizona. "But we've got to go back to managing the size of our debt compared to the size of our economy." John Dune, the Republican said, "It always comes back to how we're going to pay for it."
Key moderate Republicans, most willing to cross party lines are also against the proposal. "Our top federal budget that we vote on every year is $1.4 to $1.5 trillion. So it's a massive amount of spending," says Mitt Romney. "I think maybe if you were younger, I'd say his dad needs to take away his credit card."
Just because Biden proposes something doesn't mean it's going to get done. Budget reconciliation rules require that it must be budget neutral. This proposal is not in the current budget and does not do that.
If they amend the budget in favor of these new additions, they may be able to get another bite at reconciliation, but even then it won’t be deficit-neutral which is essentially a death nail. More importantly, they also can't not try because they see the writing on the wall now. Republicans will control the drawing of a majority of congressional districts for 2022. In North Carolina, the Democratic governor authored the legislation that gave the governor of North Carolina veto rights and precluded him from vetoing redistricting legislation. So the Republicans in North Carolina, even though their governor's a Democrat, will be able to draw the lines without the Democratic governor's ability to veto it.
In Texas, the Republicans will not be blocked by a Texas Supreme that's activist. In Florida, the Supreme Court there is now conservative and won’t block them. They'll have some trouble in Pennsylvania. In Wisconsin, the Republicans will have to cut a deal with a Democratic governor, but they've got the upper hand there with an election on the rise in there. This is actually good news for the GOP. It puts the burden on the Democrats in Congress to keep herding cats as quickly as possible, which is somewhat hard to do. It puts the burden on the Democrats to try to structure this under reconciliation in a way Democrats are signaling they don't want to do. This will cause internal fighting within the Democratic party.
If they're able to pull it off, it's going to cause more inflation and that's going to hurt Biden. The bottom line here is their time is running out. Democrats are admitting that Republicans will take back Congress next year so they’ve got to do as much as they can as quickly as they can.
The Obama Administration was able to push through Obamacare, but they couldn't do anything else. It was all-consuming and prevented anything else from getting done. This led to a resurgence of Republicans at the state and federal levels. The Democrats have polling that shows them this is all popular, but the same pollsters showing them the American people think this is popular, showed them they were going to have a blue wave upon Republicans last year.
Civil War?
It is pretty clear at this moment the Democrats are headed into disarray. They know the Republican wave is coming in 2022 so Joe Biden is going for broke in a way that's not possible for Congress to do without fracturing the Democratic Party. You're not going to hear Democrats say that they're going to put on a united front in public, but that's the reality of the situation. They can't accomplish all of this without fracturing their party. They can't accomplish all of this in a year. They can't accomplish all of this under reconciliation without major compromises.
In trying to do this, they're reuniting the divisions of the Republican party. Everyone from Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney to Marjorie Taylor Green is on the same page. The pro-Trump Republicans to the Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski’s are 100% against it. We haven't even discussed the Republican's secret weapon: All of those Trump-appointed judges. They will be taking a look at everything. This was actually a pretty good deal for Republicans last night and a big addition from the Democrats: Joe Biden's days are numbered and he knows it.

Theologian Tim Keller, in his new book Hope in Times of Fear, points out that when English translations of the Bible talk about hope, the word doesn’t do justice to the Greek word being used, elpida. A better choice would be “profound certainty.” Christians have profound certainty in the resurrection — the only event in human history that profoundly changes a person when they accept it as a true, historic event.
Today, we focus on the cross. But many, many people died on crosses in the Roman Empire. We don’t focus on those crosses and crucifixions. We focus on this one cross today not because of what happened this day around 1,988 years ago, but because of what happened the third day after Christ died.
The modern world has no appetite for the supernatural. The events of Good Friday and Easter, however, are frequently listed by secular histories as the most important in human history.
Today, almost two thousand years ago in Jerusalem, the second person of the trinity died a gruesome death. The sky went black. The temple curtain tore. And the world would never be the same.
I spent some time with Tim Keller to talk about his new book and the meaning and historicity of the resurrection. We also touched on the current social justice movement in America and how it lacks the hope of the Civil Rights movement. It lacks the language of grace and reconciliation.
Keller is battling pancreatic cancer. He understands his mortality. We talked about that mortality as it relates to the resurrection.
One note here for you all. This is Good Friday. I normally write at length and I do a special Good Friday program. This is the first time I’ve set aside time for an interview like this. I appreciate your prayers as I will now step behind the microphone this morning to focus on the events of the day talking about them through the perspective of Easter.

This is a bizarre story that I want everyone to hear.
The kid-toucher protecting Lincoln Project has managed to use a leftwing mob to oust Georgia State Senator John Albers (R-Roswell, GA). Albers’ crime? Bipartisanship.
John Albers authored Georgia Senate Bill 62, which has been one of only two measures in the Georgia General Assembly to get bipartisan support for election integrity reform. The legislation requires watermarks on absentee ballots to prevent absentee ballots from being copied.
Democrats and Republicans both supported the measure.
Albers went on to be one of only four Republicans to vote against a comprehensive election reform package the Georgia Senate Republican conference pushed that was far more expansive.
To reiterate — Albers sided with Democrats and voted against the more expansive GOP package while also drafting a bipartisan measure to ensure absentee ballots cannot be fraudulently copied. That did not stop the Lincoln Project from mischaracterizing Albers and harassing his employer, the national law firm Fisher Phillips, which represents corporations in union disputes.
The woke Fortune 500 companies that use Fisher Phillips were also targeted. Albers was given no choice but resign from the law firm.
Albers did everything right. He voted against his GOP brethren’s legislation. He authored bipartisan legislation. He lost his job anyway because theLincoln Project and Woke-O Haram lied about him and his law firm threw him under the bus.
I talked to Senator Albers on my radio show about what happened.

Ryan Anderson worked at the Heritage Foundation and just recently became the new president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a think tank that brings Christian orthodoxy into the public square to help shape conservative and national policy.
Anderson is also a noted scholar and three years ago wrote a book called When Harry Became Sally. The book addresses, as its subtitle says, “the transgender moment” in the country. Though transgender advocates assailed the book, scholars greeted it for what it is — a reasonable, thoughtful, and scholarly critique of the trans movement.
For three years, Amazon.com sold the book. A few weeks ago, Amazon stopped selling it. But Amazon did more than stop sales. They prohibited even third parties from selling it via Amazon’s platform.
In three years, Ryan had not updated the book. Its words did not change. But suddenly Amazon says the book violates Amazon policies. Which polices? We are left to guess.
The censorious left is at it again. Amazon sells 80% of books in America now. When it decides not to sell a book that thoughtfully and respectfully critiques the trans movement, it is not just picking a side, but it is engaged in a form of market restriction having worked to achieve near monopoly status. Its actions are contributing to a new line of thinking on the right — one that will lead to active intervention by the government into the affairs of private sector companies as those companies work with the left to shut out voices from the right.
This is a dangerous game and one that overwhelming benefits the terrorists of Woke-O Haram at the expense of reasonable people who disagree.
You can order Ryan’s book here directly from his publisher. Above, you can listen to my conversation with Ryan about what Amazon says and also about this strange moment in the West where suddenly boys and girls are deciding, contrary to nature and biology, that they can pick their gender.

Up front some disclosure: I endorse Omaha Steaks on the radio. This is actually really cool because I’ve been a customer of theirs for over 20 years. Now, more than 20 years after I first gave Omaha Steaks as a gift to someone, I get to tell people on the radio about them.
I’m an actual customer of a great American success story. They offered to let me interview their CEO, Todd Simon. Todd, sadly, became the CEO of Omaha Steaks last week when his cousin, Bruce, died. Todd and Bruce had worked together as partners in a business their fathers shared. Todd and Bruce were the fifth generation. Todd now carries on the family legacy.
Instead of doing politics, I wanted to share with you all the story of a great American success story, which interestingly begins as a story of religious persecution.
In the early 1900’s, father and son JJ and BA Simon fled religious persecution in Riga, Latvia. They wound up in New York City, passing through Ellis Island. Not content in the city, the father and son boarded a train intent on hopping off when they got to land that looked like Latvia.
Arriving in Omaha, NE, they got off the train and went to work. By 1917, they had established what became known as Omaha Steaks. In the 1920s, they started selling steaks to the train company and over time passengers who had passed through Omaha and eaten the steak on the train started calling to see if the company could ship steaks to them at home. Using waxed paper and ice, the company started shipping steaks. The mail order business exploded later in the 1950s and it was one of the first companies to adopt a new technology called toll free calling so customers could bypass the expensive long distance charges of the 1970s.
The whole story and the company are fascinating, including their forethought in how to stock up and handle orders as the global pandemic reached American shores. I hope you’ll listen to my interview with Todd Simon.
Lastly, if you go to OmahaSteaks.com and put ERICK in the search bar up top, you’ll get a great deal from Omaha Steaks.

Molly Ball in Time Magazine put out a story at the end of last week, The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election, and a lot of people seized upon the story to continue to perpetuate outrage over a stolen election and claiming this was the proof. If you read the story, they didn't really steal the election. They strategized and they outmaneuvered Republicans. That's not theft, that's incompetence on the Republican side. There's no theft or fraud, there's just nothing more than crafty campaigning. A lot of people want to pedal the myth of the stolen election because it makes them feel better. It also makes them, I'm learning, feel unburdened. They no longer have to participate in a process that they don't particularly like anymore. It's icky and they can just wash their hands of it and say, "Well, it's stolen, time to withdraw from the scene and do nothing." It provides them their excuse to extricate from a messy political process where deep down, they really don't believe it was stolen, but they have to hide behind that excuse for why they've given up on culture and politics. They just don't like the dirtiness of it. They see this article and it provides them further excuse making for their loss and their walking away.
What the article actually does is show just how inept the Republicans were in 2020 across the board. Privately, when you talk to members of President Trump's campaign team, including those who participated in the post-mortem of their election, they will admit there was a lot of ineptitude on the Republican side. Many of them are now screaming about a stolen election, which has provided them a smokescreen to avoid being held accountable for their incompetence. This has nothing to do with the President, but the people who surrounded the President and made a lot of money grifting off of President Trump's campaign.Molly Ball provides a portrait of a group that begins as a progressive activist coalition of unions and corporate titans that evolves into a bipartisan group towards the end of the election, as the fallout from the election was exacerbated. Now, you have to remember, a bunch of progressives were threatening to burn down America if they didn't get their way. There are other progressives who were alarmed that their own side would potentially want to burn down America if they lose, yet were equally worried about the President’s election antics and wanted to ensure election integrity.More importantly, these progressive wanted to win. The progressives organized in a way Republicans used to organize and Republicans failed to even mount a comparable effort.
As an example, let’s look at Georgia. In the late 1990s and early 2000s when I was highly active within the Republican party as a lawyer, as a chairman of the College Republicans, as a campaign manager, and campaign consultant, one of the things Republicans did very well is organizing the state and build coalitions. I worked for Saxby Chambliss as his coalition's volunteer director when he was running for Congress. Essentially, they gave me a title and I wrote letters on his behalf to different coalitions. This helped the pro-life groups and the gun groups to coordinated and get on the same page heading towards a common purpose.The coalition building went down to the precinct level. Every county is divided into areas and every area is divided into precincts. I live in Bibb County in the Howard precincts. There are a number of Howard precincts that cover North Macon. In South Macon, you have the Rutland area and those Rutland areas are divided into precincts. Every precinct has roughly the same number of people in it and are frequently shifted around.
There was a time when the Republican party in Georgia had every precinct mapped out and they knew every single Republican in those precincts, and they were in regular communication with them. This occasionally still happens in Georgia but it has atrophied within the Republican party.The Republicans in Georgia used to be so organized that if someone new was moving into the neighborhood, the party probably knew about it before that person even knew where to fill out their voter registration form. One day a helpful Republican would show up and make sure that person was registered to vote. I used to do this when I was in college. It was one of the things the College Republicans helped do in Georgia. The Democrats this year decided they needed to do something similar. They were able to build peer pressure upon social media companies to tamp down misinformation and disinformation. There's no proof that they got massive amounts of stuff deleted. They got some stuff silenced and taken down and others slowed down. They worked with media companies to make sure everyone understood there were certain narratives that needed to be advanced. This is all standard politics. They worked with corporations to make sure that if Joe Biden won, corporations would immediately, through various trade groups, declare him the winner.Ultimately, they got Republicans involved as well. Some of them were very much pro-Trump, some of them very anti-Trump, but all of them wanted to make sure that there was no chaos in the election with the world watching.A lot of people will look at this and say, "Well, this was stolen. This is proof of the steal." One of the things these groups did is they raised lots of outside money to go educate voters on how to vote absentee. Part of this was a strategic problem with the Republican campaign. You had Donald Trump telling everyone that the Democrats were going to steal it through absentee balloting and to not go vote absentee. In states like Georgia, where typically Republicans have an absentee voting advantage, the Democrats crushed it somewhere around four to one. The Democrats overwhelmed the Republicans with absentee balloting, and Republicans needed to over perform in the early vote.It's amazing how the Republicans dropped the ball this year. Privately, many Republican operatives will concede that given the President's distrust of absentee balloting and the mixed messages on voter integrity, a lot of Republican groups either didn't participate, didn't know how to participate, or they didn't want to be perceived as being a bad guy and contradict the President. One of the very few places where this didn't happen was in Florida and what happened? The President won Florida. The President blessed the Florida early voting and absentee voting strategy, and Republicans crushed it. Here in Georgia, Republicans flubbed it. They didn't even try for an absentee voter strategy.These outside groups looked at the pandemic and never let a crisis go to waste. They had an opportunity to encourage black voters for the first time to vote in overwhelming numbers by absentee ballots. This is very important and you need to understand this. Historically, black voters vote on election day. They vote on election day because it took them a very long time to secure their right to vote, and as a matter of historic creed, black communities tend to turn out on election day to vote. They don't want to vote absentee. They want to stand in line and vote. It is their right. They fought for it in the Civil Rights era. They won it.This time, the NAACP and a number of left-wing groups got together and collaborated on messaging around the global pandemic. The message was simple: “Your life is in danger if you go stand in line, so vote by absentee”. They sent absentee election volunteers out into communities with forms and it worked. They out hustled and outmaneuvered the Republicans. They lined up corporations in America to give money to help with absentee balloting with a nonpartisian framework.

The Republicans could have done every single thing these groups did and they chose not to. They chose to distrust the process. They chose to seed doubt in the process and they chose to rally everyone to vote on Election Day. It didn't work. If you're a Republican, you have to acknowledge that some within the party did a very good job making a lot of people mad, and I'm not talking about the President and his antics. The party as a whole burned bridges with a lot of outside groups who probably would have been willing to help them. The Chamber of Commerce itself for the first time this year decided to back several Democrats. As a Republican, you have to ask yourself why were all of these people willing to get together and vote for the other side? What about us led them to do that? Not all of them were Progressive groups. Why did our side not engage in an absentee balloting strategy? Why did our side not engage in a litigation strategy? Republicans have oustanding election lawyers and pretty much all of them sat on the sidelines this year. What led them to sit on the sidelines? Some of them, frankly, were not asked. Some of them didn't want to be a part of what they perceived as a clown show of incompetent people that they saw play out after the election with Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.There's one last thing you need to understand. Most of the power players who work behind the scenes want to stay behind the scenes. This is credit grabbing. They're not bragging about stealing an election. There's no proof they stole the election. They're not bragging about committing vote fraud. That would be a felony and there's no proof.What they're doing is they're bragging about being the ones who put together a coalition that saved democracy and the electoral process in America. Or at least they want you to believe that. Had they not gotten together and done what they did, the process probably would have worked out exactly the same way and the outcome could have been identical, but they want credit for it. That ultimately is what the story is all about.A group of progressives are concerned that Joe Biden likes Mitch McConnell and has a good bipartisan working relationship behind the scenes in Congress. This group has a progressive grab bag that they want from Congress and from the Biden administration, and they need Joe Biden and the people in Washington to understand this was started as a progressive cause and a way to save democracy, therefore they are owed.Essentially, this is a group of people who are bragging and amplifying their involvement all because they want something out of Washington.Molly Ball is a great writer. She wrote a profile of me a number of years ago. She's giving these people exactly what they want — enough rope to hang themselves. They want to be known as the people who saved America and democracy. Well, she's willing to let them be defined by that and let the chips fall where they may. There's no proof of a stolen election or fraud. What there's proof of is that Democrats outmaneuvered Republicans. They were able to get corporations to side with them and even some Republican groups. They used the President's campaigns efforts to undermine absentee balloting against them, and ultimately want to brag to get something out of the Biden administration. This probably won't wind up for them the way they think it will. These types of stories come out every four years — some group wants the public credit for a victory. Again, the people who rush out and try to brag and make these salacious claims are typically the ones who wind up getting exactly the opposite of what they want.

This morning on my radio show I interviewed U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The United States intends to crack down on the various Confucius Institutes on college campuses in the United States and the Secretary’s staff reached out to see if I’d get him on my show to talk about that. I also wanted to talk about the Armenian situation.

I need to acknowledge something from a former listener. You really should click on the podcast audio and hear me out. But I’ll make this brief here for those of you who don’t want to listen.
A former listener told me last week that I’ve changed and he can no longer listen to me. It took him a day to explain what he meant. In short, he said I don’t fight the way I used to and don’t seem to recognize the country could very well come crashing down if Joe Biden gets elected.
You know, he’s right. I have changed because he is and I was and many of you are wrong.
Four years ago, three men showed up on my front porch to threaten my family because I publicly said I would not support the President in 2016. My kids were harassed in a store and so bullied at school from kids whose parents decided they hate me that we had to move our kids to a new, actually Christian school, as opposed to the supposedly Christian school they were at.
On a regular basis people accused me of supporting Hillary Clinton and that I was complicit in the destruction of the country.
Guess what?
The country is still here, but not because Donald Trump won.
I really was one of those people who believed every election was an existential crisis and we were on the verge of destruction. In 2008, I wrote regularly that if the GOP didn’t stop Obama and his Alinskite ways, the country was finished. In 2010, we needed to get the GOP in Congress or else. In 2012, if Romney didn’t win, we’d have Obamacare forever and socialism would take over. In 2014, by God if we can only get the Senate, we’ll stop everything.
And guess what?
Obamacare is the law of the land. The national debt is $27 trillion. And everyone is still angry and convinced the nation is over.
Y’all, I cannot bring myself to lie to you. I used to really believe the nation would collapse if Obama or Clinton or Biden got elected. But we are still chugging along and both parties are complicit in the problems.
But eternity matters more to me after nearly dying a few years ago. Enrolling in seminary made me realize how I was twisting my faith to comform to my politics and not the other way around.
Here’s the dirty little secret that no one wants to talk about. The country is in decline because it is full of cultural rot and a man who cheated on three wives with porn stars isn’t going to stop that cultural rot anymore than Joe Biden who has been faithfully married to Jill Biden, but supports the leftwing politics you and I abhor.
Netflix would not be releasing a show about twerking 11 year olds if only Democrats watched it. Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, progressives, Christians, and everyone else are contributing to cultural decline. Pornography, deviancy, and drug use are not exclusively the behaviors of people you disagree with, but of some of your friends, neighbors, and fellow churchgoers too.
The good news is I’ve read the back of the Book. It is supposed to be this way and there is nothing you can do to stop it except to be on the winning team. To be on the winning team requires you to do something you very much do not want to do and that is to love your neighbor. I have read the passage and there are no caveats. If your neighbor is a Democrat or gay or Muslim or your childhood tormentor, scripture says you have to love them. It doesn’t say it will be easy.
Washington is not going to save you. Trump is not going to save the country. But Jesus will save you and I am, at this point in my life, way more interested in eternity than the temporary.
That does not mean I think you or I should surrender. That does not mean we should stay home. I’ll vote and I’ll encourage others to vote. But I’m not going to slip into despair and think the world is over if my side loses because Team Jesus does not lose.
So I cannot adopt the ways of the world and I do not think you should either. The anger, protesting, violence, etc. that so many loud voices on the right think will have to come if Trump loses and those who say the left wins because they are nasty — I don’t think you can go in that direction without losing your soul or confirming you never were saved to begin with.
In the Olivet Discourse, which you can find in Luke 21, Jesus says this
“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21::25-28 (ESV)
Too many of us have for too long looked down at our phones in spittle fueled rages or listened to guys like me telling you the world would end if the Democrats won. Instead, we need to lift our heads because our redemption is drawing near. We need to commit to truth and righteousness, love our neighbor, and try to save souls.
Eternity is more important than this country.
I increasingly see my role as helping navigate people to truth away from the narratives everyone is pushing. I am a conservative. I am a Christian. I think politics matters. But I think we have reached a very unhealthy state of affairs when we think the nation ends with any election. I thought that for years and we are still here. The nation is still there. Noting is permanent in politics. No nation stands forever. But eternity and truth do matter and stand forever and I’d rather commit to those than shill for a political party that lies as much as the other, but in ways that tickle my ear.
Lift up your heads people. Your redemption draws near and eternity beckons. Love your neighbor and focus on your community more than Washington. You are not going to find salvation there or with any politician.

I want to leave you with this to listen to when you have time over the weekend.
When I was a kid, I loved Calvin & Hobbes. I still do. Calvin was bad at organized sports as a six-year-old. Instead, he’d play Calvinball with his tiger, Hobbes, where the only rule is that there were no rules except you could never have the same rules twice. Halfway through a game, suddenly the game could change. A soccer game could become capture the flag and capture the flag could end by hitting golf balls via croquet mallets.
“Eventually,” Calvin noted, “all our games become Calvinball.”
We are living in Calvinball as a society. The rules keep changing, the game keeps changing, and the six-year-olds may be having a blast, but everyone else is getting kind of weary.
Have a good weekend.

I don’t even have much to say. I’m just passing this along. Less than twenty minutes ago, I had this interaction with a caller to my radio show.
The caller posits that I should not hold the President of the United States to a higher standard than those around me and I should not criticize his idiot tweets.
I disagree.
I also think this sort of thinking is deeply destructive to the President’s own re-election chances when everything he does is affirmed and unchallenged. It just reinforces bad behavior.

One of my favorite cookbook authors is a self-described “serial griller.” What makes Matt Moore unique is he doesn’t want credit for all the recipes. He profiles some of the best chefs of the south and shares either the recipes they give him or the recipes he makes from their inspiration.
He has a new book that just came out called “Serial Griller.” It’s not a book for low and slow cooking. It’s for direct heat. It’s not just for meat. It’s for vegetables and dessert too.
I talked to Matt today about his new book and what it’s like to put a cookbook together and build trust with chefs to get their recipes. You can listen above.
You can buy the book here.
He also has two others. The South’s Best Butts and A Southern Gentleman’s Kitchen, which is also one of my favorite cookbooks in general.

States across the country are preparing to reopen. In Georgia, Brian Kemp is getting a lot of hell from the national press and local press for doing so. A lot of that, frankly, is that Kemp beat Stacey Abrams in 2018 and the national press has hated him ever since.
But in Georgia, internal GOP polling shows Kemp with his worst job approval rating ever and, should the election be held today, Trump would only tie Joe Biden. This is state party polling and it is brutal for the GOP.
If the polling trends do not shift, the GOP could see a blowout in Georgia in November and put at risk its ability to unilaterally draw new legislative lines. A lot is riding on Kemp’s ability to manage the situation as the state opens up.
As to how Georgia and other states are reopening, it is very simple — slowly and with masks.
I sat down with Governor Kemp and interviewed him about not just how the state will proceed, but also what the state will do if the virus flares up.

This should not be a news story. If the media did not suffer Trump Derangement Syndrome, it would not be a news story. The media is treating this like the hydroxychloroquine stuff and it is fundamentally different.
In this case, President Trump’s advisor advised that bleach and disinfects kill the virus. Surprise! Not sure if you would have known that without a presidential advisor telling you. Likewise, sunlight is a disinfectant. Again, surprise. Hasn’t your mom ever told you to get outside to get sunshine?
You can hear the President ask the question in the audio above.
Let’s break it down.
The President asks if there is a way to get UV light into someone through their skin. There actually is. It is called a tanning bed. But that’s beside the point. The President was not suggesting people do it. He very clearly says the experts need to test it.
The same goes for disinfectants. He actually says the medical doctors need to test it. He never suggests a home remedy. He never suggests you try it at home. He simply never suggested it. You can hear the audio yourself. He is talking about testing by experts.
You can think it is silly. I do. You can think there is such a thing as a dumb question and this was it. I do. But to think the President is suggesting you try it is even dumber.
Ultimately, this is about the press thinking you people are too stupid to know the difference. There are surveys being touted that the public does not use the President’s statements about the virus to guide their lives. But the media acts like the public does that.
It was the media going nuts that turned this into a story. It was the media amplifying this that forced Lysol to release a statement advising people not to ingest Lysol. The President did not do any of that. He asked a dumb question but he made sure to phrase it in terms of needing testing and research.
That the media think he was advising people to drink bleach really speaks poorly of the media and reveals just how stupid the reporters think people are.

I interviewed Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia a short time ago about opening back up Georgia. I normally only make these interviews available to subscribers. Tomorrow, subscribers will exclusively get my interview with Walt Ehmer, the CEO of Waffle House on how the virus has affected that company’s business. So:
But I want to make this available to everyone because we talked about one particular thing that is not getting enough attention and needs to be part of the conversation. The virus is not going away.
In this global society, we cannot and have no appetite to do what a Harvard professor suggested — stay sheltered until there is a vaccine or shelter cyclically as the virus spreads. People’s patience is running out.
We have not and will mot eradicate this virus. We will have to figure out a way to adjust society to accept that the virus is out there, our behaviors increase and decrease our chances of getting it, and businesses are a corridor through which it can spread.
On top of that, people are stupid and stupid people are going to lower their guard, get the virus, and spread it to others.
All of that is just reality. We sheltered in place as we needed to in order to stop hospitals from being overwhelmed. Those hospitals now think they can contain and meet any surge that follows.
So in a reality with a virus that is not going away, how does society operate? Georgia is trying to figure it out. Georgia’s Governor is getting heat from partisans and the press for trying to find a way forward. He is listening to experts and is rolling out plans and guidelines to let businesses get back to work as best they can.
Many of his critics have interpreted this as back to normal, but it isn’t really. It is a new normal, at least for now, that tries to accommodate the concerns about the virus spreading and the concerns about businesses going out of business.
He may be wrong. The experts he listens to may be wrong. But we should wish Georgia well and hope they are able to chart a course to accommodate a virus that is not going away with a people increasingly desperate to get back to work.

Don’t use this as a substitute for church. Don’t use it as a substitute for your own time in scripture. But if you need something in the absence of the ability to connect with a church, feel free to take a listen.
This is my meditation on Genesis 1:1, and actually was the first sermon I ever preached. I got up on stage at an event in Colorado and who should sit down in the first row? John MacArthur. Yeah, that John MacArthur. Needless to say, my 20 minute sermon went by in about 8 minutes.
So I had to redo it just to prove I could do it. This is me in my office just focusing on the words: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

A little while ago, I interviewed Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp about the spread of COVID-19 in Georgia. The daily count of the virus has gone up to over 40 cases and now impacts the entire metro Atlanta area. Three counties in South Georgia also now have cases.
The University System of Georgia is shuttering. Many counties in Georgia are closing schools early for spring break. Even the state legislature has shut down and left Atlanta early — a first since probably the Civil War (don’t hold me to that).
Governor Kemp is urging churches to close and schools to close but is not yet demanding it. He wants local systems to have flexibility. I talked to him about all these things and the state of the budget if the legislature is leaving before wrapping up their legislative session with work still to do.

Lake Juliette is a peaceful part of the state. About fifteen minutes from my house, I take my kayak out regularly to paddle the water. There are no fast boats on the placid water. It is mostly people practicing scuba diving, fishermen, and kayakers like me.
Looming in the back of the lake is one of the biggest coal plants in the United States, Plant Scherer. Operated by Georgia Power, it is one of the most efficient plants in the nation and is constantly under attack from environmentalists.
Right now, it is also under attack from the community of Juliette that exists in the shadow of the plant. Anyone who has seen the 1991 movie Fried Green Tomatoes has seen Juliette. The movie used Juliette’s Whistle Stop Cafe as center stage for the movie.
Several years ago, the residents in the area found uranium in their water wells. The area has a high concentration of people with various cancers and ailments. At first, people suspected Georgia Power was to blame for radon and uranium. But it turns out the area, in the piedmont region of Georgia, has uranium under the granite slab that comes down from Atlanta. Deep wells cause radon in the area.
Now, several years removed from that, residents are finding chromium in their water. Some tests show chromium at 10 parts per billion in the water. The EPA says anything less than 100 parts per billion is acceptable. California set a 10 parts per billion standard only to see its Supreme Court raise their standard.
Some research suggests the chromium is as natural in the piedmont region as uranium and radon. But chromium could also come from unlined coal ash ponds polluting the groundwater. There just so happens to be one in Plant Scherer. Residents are demanding action from the state legislature. Georgia Power says it is closing the coal ash pond and draining water from it. Residents and activists are not placated and are demanding more action.
Democrats in the state legislature are seizing on the issue as a wedge to hurt Republicans. The media is covering it. Several outside activist groups continue to raise attention and demand action.
But there remains the unresolved question of whether the chromium is naturally occurring or from Georgia Power. There’s also the question of how best to deal with the issue.
Back in the late ’80s, Monroe County where the area is wanted to run pipes and provide water. The residents of Juliette insisted they had good well water and were fine. Now, as the county reconsiders running pipes to provide municipal water and the costs, the residents need help, Georgia Power is a scapegoat, and the state legislature is racing to solve a problem without fully understanding everything involved.
I spoke to a resident of Juliette, Georgia and also to John Kraft of Georgia Power to get both sides of the story. You can listen to the audio above.
