Iran: Why This Time Actually IS Different

Release Date: March 14 & 15, 2026

Duration: 47:55

Host: Mark Anderson

Guests: US Navy Captain Brent Sadler (Ret.) and Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation.


About This Episode

Show 16-11 breaks down the evolving Iran crisis, challenging fears of another Iraq or Afghanistan “forever war” by exploring a new U.S. military strategy focused on high-tech operations over nation-building. Featuring retired Navy Captain Brent Sadler, the episode analyzes the Middle East strategic landscape, the role of the Iranian people in potential regime change, and the broader geopolitical impact on U.S.-China competition. It also tackles the critical “day after” scenario—examining power vacuums, regional stability, and how to avoid repeating past intervention mistakes.

Show Notes

  • 00:00 – Host opener, and Captain Sadler on why these strikes in Iran differ from previous military actions. Why those previous “Iran deals” never worked.
  • 09:45 – The potential coming intensity — and what does Iran have left in their arsenal? Iran’s proxies. What do they have left and are they willing to go it alone? Does Iran have genuinely solid allies?
  • 17:45 – China. You get what you pay for. Once again, like Venezuela, China’s much-marketed air-defense shield came up empty. The purge happening in Beijing. Related? Will the Iranian people who want freedom be able to mount a genuine overthrow? Are they truly willing to fight or die for it — coming from 47+ years of abuse…?
  • 25:19 – Wait, something is going on Venezuela? The ongoing struggle they face to take back their country.
  • 34:03 – The bigger strategic picture in Iran. Don’t let Iran pull us away from China and how does success in Iran deter Beijing? Will it? And why America took its eye off China for over 20 years.
  • 40:10 – What too many people are missing and how this Iran war could be a massive game changer for the entire Middle East.

Transcript

In case you hadn’t noticed fixing the world is difficult and rather complicated. When you look at Iran and why we went in there it seems to me that if you can stop an abuser you should.

Except the problem sometimes is that the abused don’t want to be helped. They have to want to stop it.

For somebody to be free from an abuser, the desire for that freedom has to come from them. They have to want it. And it gets really complicated when you’re trying to change somebody else’s society and culture. The desire for freedom has to come from the people living in that society.

But just because they want it, doesn’t mean they could do it. Which is why the first thing that abusive governments do is to make sure that people who do want freedom don’t have the means to do it. They take away guns. They take away freedoms—especially freedom of speech.

And that’s very worrisome when you look at what’s happening in most of Europe right now. There is a genuine effort to silence people who dare to question the government. And it’s especially troubling because so many of America’s foundational rights and concepts of those rights originated in England. America would not exist with the freedoms it enshrined, had England not led the way.

Now England is jailing people for things they put on Facebook. Dare to speak out and your government will jail you. Not an armed rebellion. Not actual terrorist attacks. Your opinion. Your opinion can land you in jail. And if you’re not allowed to have an opinion and not allowed to express that opinion, then you really don’t have any freedom at all.

But imagine living in a place like Iran where it’s even worse. Your opinions—speak against the prophet or Allah or refuse the dress code — can and has gotten people killed. And if you’re a woman? It’s far worse than just being killed.

But what is happening right now in Iran can have generational consequences. If it’s done correctly. No endless wars. No imposition of our culture on theirs. That would be just as abusive in its own way. But right now, they have the desire for freedom and the best way to help them pursue that is to get the abuser out of the house. Be there to help if the Iranians want it and do what you can to make sure another abuser doesn’t walk right in the door.

But it’s not going to be easy. It will be difficult. And it will get complicated. But in the end, freedom is worth fighting and dying for.

But there’s also something else here at play that not enough people are talking about that could prove to be the real game changer for the whole of the Middle East.

And we will talk about that with our guest later in the show. But for now I’d like to welcome Brent Sadler, he’s a retired U.S. Navy captain and currently serves as a senior research fellow for naval warfare and advanced technology at the Heritage Foundation —I didn’t even know they had such a thing. He specializes in maritime security and the technologies shaping future naval forces.

Captain and it’s great to talk to you today!

More About this Episode

Now that Iran’s abusive regime is being removed s lot of people are rightfully worried that America has stepped into another Iraq- or Afghanistan-style international quagmire. But forget those “forever war” scripts of the last 20 years. We’re looking at a totally new playbook in the Middle East that skips the nation-building and focuses on a high-stakes, high-tech surge.

This week, we’ll be breaking down the current military chess board and what the next steps look like operationally—including why the old quagmire fears might actually be off the mark this time.

To do this we welcome first time guest Retired Captain, Brent Sadler, who had a 26-year Navy career with numerous operational tours, including on nuclear powered submarines, personal staffs of senior Defense Department leaders, and as a military diplomat in East Asia. As a Senior Research Fellow, Brent’s focus is on maritime security and the technologies shaping our future maritime forces, especially the Navy.

We take a look at the real wildcard. The Iranian people. We discuss seeing signs of an organic shift that hasn’t been possible until now, and we’ll dive into whether regime change is a pipe dream or a pending reality. This isn’t just about regional borders anymore; it’s a massive strategic pivot that’s going to ripple all the way to our competition with China.

And there’s a wild card here that no one seems to be talking about. One that could dramatically change the dynamics of the entire Middle East.

Finally, we’re tackling the “Day After” scenario. If the regime actually buckles, who fills the power vacuum—and how do we ensure we don’t get stuck holding the bag? It’s a realistic, no-nonsense look at the risks, the rewards, and the lessons we (hopefully) finally learned.

Show 15-42 Summary: There comes a time when you must do something before it’s too late. First, you have to recognize when and why. And then it’s time to take a stand. The UK is lurching—sprinting, really—toward the point of no return to shackle every citizen to the government to control every aspect of their lives. And, closer to home, Oregon is on the path to take even more money from its people. But we can stop it. Find out how.

This Week – Big Government Speeding toward Slavery

This week we’re talking about big government trying to get bigger. Right here at home in Oregon, it’s about taxing people more than ever after the passage of the ODOT tax and spend bill. Fortunately, there’s a way to stop it before it starts its engine.

We talk with Representative Ed Diehl and the effort to stop the ODOT tax from going into effect? How? By letting the people of Oregon decide, not elected democrats forcing it on people. And make no mistake. Democrats forced this bill by ignoring voters. They passed it despite over 95% opposition.

Now the Democrat governor is playing games by not signing the bill she called an “emergency.” And it’s, once again, to ignore the voice of the people to limit the time signature gatherers will have to get it on the ballot.

We talk with Ed about the rules and the strategies to get around the Democrats’ roadblocks.

Take a stand against big government—get involved! Big government only grows and gets abusive because people don’t say no. The ODOT tax is not just about a five cents tax increase and hundred more in new fees. It is the abusive way it was passed. It’s about forcing government to live inside its income. And it’s just the beginning—unless we stop it now.

Start here: visit NoTaxOregon.com to volunteer, donate(!), and help spread the word.

Real Socialism = Real Slavery

In the second-half of the show we talk with James Hirsen about digital IDs that are already in the process of being implemented over in the UK. Worse, they are paired with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This gives the government the ability to quite literally track everything that you do. And it will be even more powerful by using A.I.

Read James Hirsen’s article: “The Mandating of Digital IDs and CBDCs”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has declared no one will be able to work or buy or sell or get government benefits unless they have a digital ID. For you Christians out there, yes, it sounds remarkably like the “mark of the beast” mentioned in the New Testament’s Book of Revelation.

Because the UK is pairing the digital ID with Central Bank Digital Currencies. No more cash. Which means the government can shut off your money anytime it wants to. Or prevent you from buying things. Or paying your mortgage or rent.

And in case you think that’s just conspiracy theory, remember: it already happened in Canada when the truckers had their bank accounts switched off when they protested the covid lock downs.

Once again. It’s happening now. Because people did not stand up to big government then.

Show 15-39 Summary: It’s a shocking reality that the political Left sees violence and murder as acceptable response to speech they disagree with. The rise in far-left political violence will only get worse. This week, we reach out to a psychologist to better understand how people have been brainwashed by violent Antifa offshoot groups. But conservatives. especially Christians, sitting quietly and not getting involved is no longer an option. We talk with a trainer who helps engage conservatives to impact their communities and society.

This Week –Far-Left Political Violence: We’re Not at War, But We Are

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, many people are still shocked at how the Land of Free Speech got to the point where someone was murdered for his speech. Too many people had no idea just how dangerous Antifa really was. And how their further-left spinoffs are actively training their members to kill.

How did we get here?

That’s easy. The Right has been too tolerant. And too silent. Well, it’s time for the Right and Middle to rise up. And to stop being silent.

A Psychologist on the Left’s Manipulation and Violence

For people familiar with Far-Left, Marxist ideology, it is no surprise the Left lies, manipulates, and exploits society’s most vulnerable. But unlike years past, they have first isolated confused children, convinced them to hate who they really because they are “in the wrong body.” And then manipulate them to channel their hate and anger toward society and authority.

But it’s not just youth. The Left uses clever marketing and the media to confuse vulnerable seniors into thinking policies that are actually good for seniors are somehow bad for them. Which is why the largest demographic that hates Trump are American seniors. Democrats who shriek “disinformation” misinform seniors about Trump’s tariffs, no tax on social security, and more. And convince them Trump is cutting Medicare. He’s not. He’s removing people on Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security who legally should not be getting it. And by removing them, there is more money for those who deserve it.

Tune in to hear psychologist Dr. Angela Plowhead examine the Left’s manipulation. It is truly dangerous. And will lead to more violence and killing. But also hear her solutions to reach out to manipulated seniors and break through their mental blocks.

Keep an eye on Angela. She is running for office in Oregon’s Senate District 10. Her campaign site is Angela4Oregon.com.

Oregon desperately needs common-sense conservatives like Angela Plowhead in office. Help her get there with a donation.

Not Sure What to Do? Get Some Training

Tired of sitting quietly while the Left rampages? You should be. Like any abuser, silence emboldens the Far Left. There are some trainings coming up in the Willamette Valley for conservatives and Christians to learn how to engage and impact their communities. We talk with Scott Allen, the president of the Disciple Nations Alliance who will be leading the training along with Tim Throckmorton, the National Director for Church Engagement & Community Impact for the Family Research Council.

The Far-Left sees your silence about their ideology as permission. And that can and does lead to violence. We are seeing it. And we need to find ways to stop it.

Scott talks to us about the need to get engaged, to not be silent, and also discusses Marxist ideology. The violence we’re seeing now is Neo-Marxism at its worst. (Is there a good side to Marxism?) This trainings will give conservatives, Christians, church leaders, the knowledge and tools to impact their communities.

To learn more, read the workshop flyer and about the trainers (PDFs)
The trainings will be held October 13th, in NE Portland and October 14th in Salem and Corvallis
The events are free to attend. (Donations gladly accepted!)

It’s time. Time to rise up. Not sure where to start? Getting some knowledge is always a good place to start. As long as you can use it.

how 15-38 Summary: You would think the Left would learn something from the murder of Charlie Kirk. But the only thing that changed was their delusion got worse. Requests for Turning Point chapters are exploding across the country but leftist administrators are telling kids they aren’t allowed. Except it turns out, that’s a lie. Speaking of lies, people in Oregon’s CD6 with a political agenda tried to recall the chair, claiming he had stolen money. In a shocking misuse of free speech, using innuendo and rumor they convinced fellow Republicans that Don Powers had to go. But after baring their knives, they failed to take out Caesar. So now what?

This Week – Free Speech

Surviving in the political world are no longer simply about winning elections. Now we saw someone murdered for their political beliefs.  In America.  The land of free speech. Trump’s attempted assassination was a fortunate, some say divine, miss.  But now Charlie Kirk’s death has shaken people on both sides of the aisle. Well, the sensible ones anyway.

Charlie connected with millions, most of whom never met him but felt they personally knew him.  And what we saw was how fiercely he was loved — and hated.

Imagine having a political ideology so weak that someone would kill someone because challenging your beliefs were a threat. Something is not just wrong with the assassin. But with their beliefs as well. If you are mentally unable to cope with challenges to your beliefs, something in your innermost soul is screaming out at you that your beliefs are wrong.

Defending — and Misusing — Free Speech

This week, we talk with Kimberly Hermann, the president of Southeastern Legal Foundation. A fantastic group that sues governments when they trample on people’s constitutional rights. After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Turning Point was absolutely swamped with requests for new chapters at high schools and universities all across the country. Over 49,000 last we looked.. Except, she is already hearing from parents that some democrat administrators are telling kids they are not allowed at their schools.

That’s a lie. Kids have a First Amendment right to start a Turning Point chapter. And if you or your kids or grand kids are being stonewalled by woke administrators who don’t want free speech on their campuses, contact Southeastern Legal Foundation. Despite the name, they take cases all across the country. Go here to submit a case.

But this week, it’s more than just using free speech. We also talk about misusing it. And government fumbles. Pam Bondi got it wrong saying the DOJ would “absolutely go after” people for hate speech. Hate speech is protected. (Sorry Lefties. “Hate speech” is not “someone said something I hate.”) But lies aren’t. We ask Kim hat can be done about the lies. Especially lies that lead to violence.

What NOT to Do: Oregon’s CD6

And lies and innuendo are what led to the attempt to take out the chair of Oregon’s 6th Congressional District. Regardless of party, some people crave party leadership positions like they are titled fiefdoms. And will do anything to get them and hang on to them.

That appears to be what happened in Oregon’s CD6. Don Powers, the chair of CD6, was approached out of the blue with the idea of holding an inaugural ball, because the Oregon Republican Party (ORP) wasn’t doing anything to celebrate Trump’s 2024 victory.Someone offered the “seed money” to get the ball rolling.

But in the rush to pull one together, book an event space in Washington D.C., a band, guests, and all the rest — in only about 60 days, communication broke down and mistakes were made. And despite a fantastic event, the rumor mill started, accusations were made. And it got uglier from there.

Those wanting Don Powers removed to take his seat unleashed a blizzard of accusations, despite a warning by the ORP’s own attorney to drop it and avoid any further liability. Lies are not protected free speech. That’s why there are courts. Nasty accusations were all over social media. Someone did a full background check, which was sent out in an email with a litany of accusations, citing the bylaws and he-said/she-saids.

But the accusations fell apart and Don won overwhelmingly. After the lies and accusations, how do you repair things as an organization? How do you have a working relationship to help Republicans win in 2026? Many Republicans believe the ORP has been infiltrated by Democrats.

Whether they are democrats or not, whether they meant to or not, this was destructive. And all for a volunteer political position. Wow.

Show 15-17 Summary: This is one of those shows that took unexpected, fascinating turns. And it is not one to miss. We’d invited attorney Peter Ticktin, a life-long friend of President Trump, back on to discuss his lawsuit challenging the results of Florida Congressional District 14, where they found evidence of election fraud. Thousands of mail-in ballots may have been cast by modified duplicates buried in the voter rolls. Enough to overturn the results. Except that discussion turned into a deeper discussion about the Deep State and what really happened on January 6. Tune in to hear the actual, recorded evidence Ticktin has from an informant who was there discussing the actual insurrection.

This Week – The Actual Insurrection

When President Trump first decided to run for president, the uphill battle wasn’t just securing votes, it was fighting off the Deep State. But now in his second term actions he’s made it his mission to root out the Deep State. Like DOGE investigating and exposing the fiscal abuses has proven the existence and depth of the Deep State. But as Trump continues to look, there is even deeper, hidden depths, including this week’s show topic: voter fraud.

But it’s even deeper than that. And there’s evidence. Recorded evidence from an informant. Recorded evidence from an informant

This week, we welcome back Peter Ticktin of the Ticktin Law Group. Mr. Ticktin, a life-long friend to President Trump (they went to high school together), has led many of the lawsuits that fought back against the Deep State attacks on President Trump.

We talked previously with him about his election integrity lawsuit which uncovered thousands of ballots cast by modified duplicates through mail-in voting in FL-14 in the 2024 election. But Mark’s conversation with Ticktin led to a very surprising discussion on Ticktin’s work on the J6 insurrection. And the proof that Ticktin has on just who actually did plan the insurrection wasn’t those who the government arrested.

Tune in to find out the shocking results and just how deep the Deep State is buried. And what they actually did.

There are a large number of J6 Defendants who were pardoned but who no longer receive their VA benefits, including medical care. They are still on No Fly Lists, Terrorist Watch Lists, and other forms of harassment and targeting. If you or someone you know are subjected to any of this or other harassment, contact Peter Ticktin. Email him at pt@legalbrains.com.

Show 15-15 Summary: With new advances and discoveries and better equipment, scientific evidence points inescapably to a Creator. And that poses challenges to two foundational scientific theories: The Big Bang and Darwinism. From the universe to microbiology, the evidence is there—if you look. It’s no wonder the secular mainstream media doesn’t spotlight these. Tune in to hear I Spy Radio host Mark Anderson’s speech to the Capitol City Republican Women’s April 10th luncheon where he discussed faith and science. And shared the growing and stunning evidence that can help build your faith. You’ll walk away knowing there must be a Creator.

This Week – Scientific Evidence… for Your Faith?

Over the last several decades there have been amazing discoveries in science that point, almost conclusively, to a Creator. why don’t we hear about these? Of course the reason is science and the mainstream media are secular and in some cases outright hostile to Christianity and faith.

War over Information

1988 Shroud of Turin Carbon 14 press conference, which claimed a date of 1260-1390. (Real Scientists don't use exclamation points.)
Real scientists don’t use exclamation points

Finding evidence for faith and God faces challenges. Even if you’re looking. It doesn’t help that we are in a war over information. From the Biden administration’s censorship to Big Tech helping with that censorship.

And with the race toward A.I. — programmed by and fed leftwing ideology and academic papers — information will be filtered more than ever. How will it handle things like faith? Or God? Or Christianity? Given recent experiences with censorship we have an indication of where that will go.

Evidence for God: Telescopes to Microscopes

From telescopes to microscopes, new and better instruments are revealing more and stronger evidence for God. That He really is there. That He really did create the Universe. And that He really did create us. Frankly, the evidence is overwhelming.

But listen for yourself to decide.

CCRW April 2025 Speech: Evidence for Faith

Capitol City Republican Women logoThe Capital City Republican Women invited I Spy Radio Show host, Mark Anderson, to speak at their April 10th, 2025, luncheon. It being near Easter, and after nearly losing his wife last Easter, Mark spoke about faith, science, and some incredible scientific evidence that points to a Creator. Heartfelt faith is wonderful. But when you add reason and intellect to faith, that is truly powerful.

Tune in to hear the impossible odds of the universe’s design that point so definitely to a Creator that even self-described atheists are conceding there must have been a Creator. And on the microscopic level, there is no way the irreducible complexity of “machines” inside our cells could have “just happened.”

This Week – 2024 Election Consequences

Elections matter—and stolen elections matter even more. This week, I Spy Radio dives into the stark contrast between President Trump’s bold vision for America’s prosperity and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek’s failing, ideology-driven policies that are dragging the state down. From Trump’s game-changing executive orders to explosive allegations of voter fraud in Florida, this episode uncovers the real consequences of the 2024 elections—and what’s at stake for our nation.

First, we welcome back Jennifer Hamaker, the president of ONRI—Oregon Natural Resource Industries. Jen drops exciting news about Trump’s plans to transform federal forests from a massive (and expensive!) liability into a powerhouse asset. She reveals how these executive orders could revive Oregon’s struggling mills, create jobs, and dismantle the state’s disastrous Habitat Conservation Plan. Jen also flagged critical Oregon bills to watch—some worth supporting, others that must be stopped—especially with Democrats now holding supermajorities after the 2024 election.

A good bill? For once? Read ONRI’s post about HB3103 on Facebook. If you don’t use Facebook, head to this substack page from Cyrus Javadi where the post originated.

There’s so much more to unpack that Jen will return in a few weeks!

Elections Matter. Stolen Elections Matter More

In the second half of the show, we welcome Peter Ticktin (). He’s the Florida attorney leading what could be a jaw-dropping election challenge in FL-14. After veteran Rocky Rochford’s suspicious loss, Ticktin’s team uncovered potential evidence of hundreds of thousands of “clone voters” (or modified duplicates) in Florida’s voter rolls. Possibly millions nationwide.

Read the Rod Martin article: “The Florida Voter Fraud Case That Could Overturn Democrat Cheat-By-Mail” and check the show notes section below for more.

In Pinellas County alone, these potentially fraudulent votes could have accounted for a staggering 99.1% of all returned mail-in ballots. Some 197,000 out of 198,700 could be duplicates. Ticktin discusses the sophisticated cryptographic algorithm behind this alleged fraud—on par with NSA-level tech—and what it could mean for America.

This investigation is just heating up, and Peter will be back to share more soon.

Show 15-01 Summary: If Oregon’s newly elected attorney general’s scheme of a “Federal Oversight Cabinet”—stacked with the furthest of the Far-Left—is any indicator, then Oregon is in for a world of hurt. Even worse when you take into account the Democrats have supermajorities in Oregon’s house and senate, a far left Democrat in the governor’s office, and Oregon’s judicial system has had some 40 years of Democrat appointments. Can anything stop Oregon’s schemes to lurch left? There just may be a way to avoid this.

This Week – Oregon’s Schemes

In a nutshell, Oregon’s schemes will be to lurch to the far left as fast as possible. And with the Democrat super majorities in Oregon’s house and senate, a far left Democrat in the governor’s office, and some 40 years of Democrat appointments to Oregon’s judicial system, there is precious little that can be done to stop them.

So what is on the Oregon Democrats’ agenda? Spending is at the top of the list. As is further indoctrination of kids. Which means far-left school administrators and teachers in failing public schools will need even more money. And with more spending will come more taxes. Will we see that longtime dream of Oregon democrats finally pass: a sales tax? Quite likely. But they’ll call it something else so the uninformed peasants don’t revolt. (You can see why indoctrination is more important than education in Oregon’s schools.)

The government has been protecting us from climate change since the Mayans.
Government protecting us from climate change

But that’s hardly the end of Oregon’s schemes. Climate Change (meaning spending money on it — which means giving away taxpayer dollars to the Far Left) will be the highest priority. Because nothing saves the Earth like burning money. Which is why have fan-favorite, Chuck Wiese on, to debunk it.

The Wrench in Oregon’s Schemes

There are two wrenches in Oregon’s schemes. One is reality. Sadly, we can’t control when reality will rear its ugly head and bite Democrats in the ass. (See what we did there?) But the other is money. And this is where it will get interesting.

Here’s a fact: Oregon got nearly one-third of its most recent biennium budget from the federal government.

Oregon’s new attorney general has set up what he calls, “The Federal Oversight and Accountability Cabinet” and staffed it with executives from far-left organizations and unions. It’s to represent all Oregonians. So apparently, conservatives in Oregon don’t exist. Got it.

The main purpose of the Injustice League is defy federal law. And to help hide illegal immigrants from being deported. Because no one is above the law accept illegal immigrants and the government officials who help hide them. Not to mention, it’s defying democracy and the recent election. Which sounds pretty insurrection-y. (Hint to the “attorney” general: the Constitution gives the federal government oversight of states, not the other way around.)

So is this the wrench? Democrats’ defiance of federal law could mean Oregon’s schemes fall apart. Because so much of them depend on all that federal government money.

How Long Before Oregon Tires of Being the Stupid Kid?

Climate Change reality: Antarctic sea ice extent is 17% higher today than it was in 1979. Ice doesn't lie, but climate scientists do.
Another wrench in Oregon’s schemes. Whoops.

We talk with Chuck Wiese about the Global Warming religion and how nothing Oregon wants to do (spend) will make any difference. Not to global temperatures. Not to CO2 levels. Which is not and does not drive Global Warming.

Oregon’s schemes depend on (indoctrinated) people being gullible enough to believe in Global Warming. It depends on federal dollars. If the dollars are cut off because they are defying federal law, where will Oregon democrats get the billions of dollars they need to push their far-left schemes?

But it’s more than just money. Without the federal government wasting 100s of billions of dollars on far-left environmentalism, “green” energy (it’s not green) may also collapse without all those subsidies, mandates, and taxpayer cash. Is this the year Global Warming starts to fall apart?

If what’s happening in Europe right now, the Global Warming movement may just collapse.

Save the Earth from people’s stupidity. And save a lot of money.

Show 14-46 Summary: With his popular vote mandate, Trump’s new era could mean a government fully accountable to the people. There will be roadblocks — and the federal government is just the start. An accountable, efficient, and ethical government will trickle down to state governments. Like Oregon. Which, according to Judicial Watch, has the dirtiest voter rolls in the entire nation. We talk with James Hirsen (Tales from the Left Coast) about the election. Trump’s mandate and the likely roadblocks to it, Trump’s free speech blueprint, and the Left’s freakout over Matt Gaetz. They should be worried. And then we talk with Bob Popper, senior attorney for Judicial Watch, about their suit against Oregon to force them to clean up their voter rolls. And yes, Oregon’s all mail-in-ballot voting system does create extra opportunities for fraudulent votes.

This Week – Trump’s New Era

Trump not only won big — he won so big that now democrats are the election deniers. Trump must have cheated. It can’t possibly be they were wrong about him. And that people saw through their massive propaganda to convince people they would be stripped of their rights. (Just look for “Lefties Losing It” and you’ll see no end of Leftists freaking out.) Get used to it. Lefties losing it will be an ongoing theme in Trump’s new era.

Many of them truly believe Trump’s new era will usher in a dictatorship. And it’s easy for them to believe because dictatorship is exactly what the Biden administration was. They’ve been just too blinded by left stream media propaganda to see it. Biden ruled by executive order and ignored Congress. And the courts.

But what really happened was we saw the Republican National Committee’s leadership and other election integrity organizations engaged and engaged big.  And, unlike 2020, actually fighting back, before the cheating could happen. And Republicans got involved on the ground, with hundreds of thousands of volunteers watching drop boxes and election observers, it forced election officials to stay within the boundaries of fair and transparent elections. At least for the most part.

And that decisive Trump win will pull this country out of despair and poverty and into Trump’s new era. The America-First Era where government is held accountable.

James Hirsen: Trump’s Free Speech Blueprint

Bestselling author, attorney, news analyst, and cultural commentator James Hirsen has a lot to say about the Trump victory, the mandate that comes with it, and the Left’s ongoing meltdown. Just what did happen to 70 million Christian voters who said they might sit out the election?

Keep up with all of James Hirsen’s terrific articles at www.JamesHirsen.com

And we look at Trump’s Free Speech Blueprint to restructure government to do its job and defend the 1st Amendment instead of attack it. The government defending our rights? Wow. That would be a switch from the last four years.

Judicial Watch Sues Oregon

Then we welcome first time I Spy guest, Robert Popper, a senior attorney who directs Judicial Watch’s voting integrity efforts.  This fall Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against Oregon’s to clean up their dirty voter rolls that have not been cleaned for years. Judicial Watch called them the worst in the nation.

Judicial Watch asserts that Oregon and 35 of its 36 counties has overall registration rates exceeding 100%. And that Oregon has the highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation.

Commonsense Oregonians are very anxious to get their voter rolls cleaned up and we know many of our listeners will be excited to hear more about this lawsuit. We talked about Judicial Watch’s success in other states, some of the staggering numbers of phantom voters removed, what this lawsuit looks to achieve, and how Oregon might try to dodge it. And whether Oregon’s 100% vote-by-mail system makes inflated voter rolls even more dangerous. Popper gives us a deep dive into election integrity—and the tools Judicial Watch has to fight it.

Show 14-44 Summary: It’s the final sprint to the finish line. And the Friday before the election Kamalanomics got some pretty bad news: only 12,000 (not a typo) jobs created in October.

This week, we talk with chief economist and executive VP of American Legislative Exchange Council about Trump vs Kamala economic policies. Who has the better economic record, the better administration policy to grow the3 economy, and what their future economies will look like. Kamala is floating some spooky ideas on taxes, spending and debt. And we talk about Trump’s policies that has the Big Spender spooked and why. Get out there and vote like your future and America’s future depends on it. It does.

This Week – Truth about Trump vs Kamala Economic Policies

October Surprise? ~The October jobs numbers just came out this morning at a paltry 12,000 new jobs. That’s not a typo. There isn’t a zero missing. Even more bad economic news: they erased another 112,000 jobs from the two previous months, September and August. Jobs that never existed outside the leftstream media propaganda headlines.

Just 12,000 new jobs for all of America (and we’d be negative if not for 40,000 government jobs). It’s a devastatingly low number for the Biden/Harris administration and after Kamala said there’s nothing she’d change regarding Biden’s policies.

Did you miss it? I Spy host had an article published in American Thinker: “The One Overlooked Reason Christians Should Vote in 2024.” Please share that with any reluctant Christians you know that are thinking of not voting.

Oh. And the GDP came in low. A sluggish 2.8%. Lower than the usual 3.0%.

This week, we welcome back Jonathan Williams, the chief economist and executive vice president of the American Legislative Exchange Council, to compare and contrast the Trump economy vs the Kamala economy. What were their records. What did they do right. And how will they differ if elected?

Kamala is floating some spooky ideas about taxes, spending, and debt. And Trump is floating some ideas that is spooking the big-government big-spenders. Listen and find out.

Personally? The difference really comes down to this: Trump wants to grow the economy. Kamala wants to grow government. It really is that simple.
