About This Episode

Show 16-12 exposes the growing “war on success” narrative, examining new policies aimed at unlocking America’s natural resources—from revitalizing Oregon’s timber industry to restarting California offshore oil production. Featuring Jennifer Hamaker and Craig Rucker, the episode explores the “maximum productivity” model, U.S. energy independence, and how domestic oil production now exceeds consumption, reshaping economic and geopolitical strategy. It also dives into the shift from climate-focused policies to a rising “plastics agenda,” revealing the broader impact on energy prices, supply chains, and American prosperity.

Show Notes

  • 00:00 – Host opener. Jen updates us on the status of Trump’s executive orders on timber production after one year. Working? Or just more of the same old same old? How is the Left combating it? The reality of what the EOs actually do. Incredible illustration of just how much 1 billion board feet of wood actually is.
  • 08:42 – Oregon produces 13 billion board feet annually. But when Oregon chooses to let the wood rot or burn, just how much is lost? Another terrific illustration of just how much we lose when that happens — the Labor Day fires as just one example.
  • 15:50 – Sorry, tree huggers and uninformed Leftist “environmentalists.” There is WAY more wood than you think there is. Just how much we could be doing. The exciting news from the Bureau of Land Management — the revision to Oregon’s O & C forest lands. What this means for Oregon’s counties. Why is the Left the enemy of prosperity?
  • 24:46 – Craig Rucker joins us, we talk just how much oil the US is producing, how this changes the impact of Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Genuine energy Independence.
  • 31:27 – Oregon and California’s war on prosperity. Why and how Trump is beating them anyway. The impact if Democrats finally got on board with supporting America. Why it’s amazing Trump has been able to get anything going with the economy.
  • 38:49 – Green mandates. How things would be going if Trump hadn’t made the changes he did in his first time — and not getting credit for his current changes. The UN has given up on Climate Change. And what their next war is. Meaning, where now the cash cow?

Transcript

(Opener only) Way back in 2012 and again in 2013 and 2018, we interviewed Vicky Steiner, a North Dakota state representative, and the Executive Director for the North Dakota Association of Oil and Gas Producing Counties.

Seems like ancient history now but if you remember back in those days North Dakota was having a massive oil boom thanks in large part to fracking. They could not get enough workers in fast enough. Wages skyrocketed.

And that’s great to be suddenly making a lot of money but there’s the other side of that. They did not have the infrastructure. People were sleeping in tents or their trucks. And it gets cold in North Dakota. Esp in winter. Temporary housing was brought in. Water and plumbing and electric lines all needed to be run. Which meant another boom they needed electricians and plumbers. There was constant food shortages — and… whenever supply is short, prices on food and everything else shot up. Roads needed to be built or repaired — rural schools suddenly had twice as many students.

It was like squeezing 15 years of civilization into about one year.

So when we talk to Vicki she said something that has always stuck with me. She said, “I don’t understand Oregon. Here in ND we realize at some point these wells will go dry. You guys have trees and they grow back. Why aren’t you harvesting them? That’s an endless supply of money just sitting there. None of us can figure that out.”

Trust me, I said. We don’t get it either. But it’s the radical left. We’re largely handcuffed by environmentalists and the democrats and to a lesser degree republicans are scared of them.

Oregon is a tremendously blessed state when it comes to natural resources — we are the envy of other states. The problem is we are cursed with junked up junk science. That carbon dioxide is somehow “the enemy” (which goes against what most of us learned in second grade science — That plants depend on carbon dioxide). And the overriding junk science of “Climate Change” is costing us a massive amount of money — money that we could be earning.

But instead the idiots in charge — currently in charge — are far more interested in getting and spending other people’s money than doing anything to fix other people’s problems

16-11 Iran: Why This Time Actually IS Different

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.

Is This Simple SCOTUS Ruling the Gateway to Election Integrity?

Published on January 17, 2026

Duration: 47:55


About This Episode

What if one quiet ‘procedural’ SCOTUS decision just cracked open the door to fixing America’s elections? Dr. Jerome Corsi, a noted expert on election integrity, reveals the hidden power of this largely unnoticed Supreme Court ruling. On the surface, the case sounded entirely procedural— whether a candidate had standing or not to bring a lawsuit challenging the endless counting of ballots after Election Day. But find out why this ruling may just have started a giant avalanche of election integrity lawsuits and sends the message that SCOTUS wants people to be able to trust our elections again.

Show Notes

  • 00:00 – Overview of SCOTUS ruling in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections overview and why it’s clearly not “just” standing
  • 08:50 – The game-changing aspects of this SCOTUS ruling to restore confidence in our elections. Does Chief Justice Roberts know 2020 elections were stolen? Warning shot how SOCTUS likely to rule on the never-ending counting of ballots after election day?
  • 17:13 – Ongoing implications of this ruling — just at a time when Trump’s DOJ suing states over voter rolls and other election integrity issues. How the roll out exposing Minnesota fraud is being mirrored to  expose election fraud.
  • 25:26 – Venezuela’s Maduro and what he knows about election fraud here. Minnesota fraud. Why Democrats wanted illegals flooding our border. (It wasn’t just to get votes.)
  • 34:21 – Tina Peter tried to expose election fraud. She was jailed. A three-judge panel just roasted the prosecutors in that case along with the original judge and his sentencing. Corsi is good friends with one of her attorneys, Peter Ticktin.
  • 40:04 – Opening the floodgates of more election clerks coming forward with what they know? Democrats and their fraud-industrial complex. Ruling impact on lower courts. How to now challenge elections and restore integrity. What about Trump’s truckloads of evidence of 2020 election fraud?

Transcript

(Opener only) The law can be a weird thing. And one of the weirder things is the issue of standing. Basically, whether you can show the court that you suffered a unique, particular harm.

Now, when it comes to things like election integrity You might think that everyday voters could bring such a lawsuit. Especially when such a lawsuit could restore trust in the election by forcing the state to do things like demand voter ID, or cleaning up voter rolls so people don’t vote illegally.

Sadly, in a nutshell, crooked elections don’t harm people uniquely. They harm all of us. Voters bear the brunt of the outcomes of elections.

If someone is willing to cheat to get elected — they will make bad laws and decisions. They don’t cheat to get elected and then suddenly find morality after they win. No they will create the means and opportunity for things like all of that fraud being uncovered in Minnesota and elsewhere.

This week, in a case that went mostly unnoticed, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a candidate has standing in an election integrity case.

And while that may not sound like a big deal, what’s fascinating about this case is below the surface — the underlying reasoning and arguments why they have standing, and why you may not realize it but we just took a yuge step forward to restore trust in elections.

I’d like to welcome back Dr. Jerome Corsi, he is the author of about 30 books, six of those ended up on the New York Times best-seller list and two of those hit number one. He is the founder and CEO of Corsi Nation dot com and  you should also definitely visit his other site, God’s Five Stones dot com. Doctor Corsi, it’s great to talk to you again…

This Week – Russia Collusion Hoax Exposed

The Russia collusion hoax evidence was declassified. On one level, it’s not new news. We knew the Obama administration, working with the Hillary Clinton campaign, created and entirely false disinformation campaign to smear candidate Donald Trump with “Russia collusion” to steal the 2016 presidential election.That’s been known since Congressman Devin Nunes went to the White House with the evidence he had seen.And that broke the scandal wide open.

Rather than “Russia collusion” it was quite the opposite. At a White House meeting in July 2016, CIA chief, John Brennan shared what the CIA had learned from Russian sources. Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to distract from her email scandal, planned to smear Trump with “Russia collusion.” Obama, Biden, Susan Rice, and the heads of the intelligence committees leaped into action to give credibility to the smear. Despite knowing that it was a political smear and a lie, James Comey launched the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump three days after that meeting. And the Russia collusion hoax was born.

If you heard our previous shows on disinformation you know this is how disinformation works. There must be a a grain of truth — meaning a grounding in reality. By opening the investigation. Obama, Comey, and their minions in the intelligence community gave that grain of truth to Hillary’s smear. Without which it never would have worked. Think about it. Who in their right mind would trust anything Hillary had to say.

Learn more about disinformation. Democrats and their Desperate Disinformation Ploy (Disinformation, Part 1) and Disinformation in Action: Recognize it, Fight it (Part II)

But an FBI investigation into Trump-Russia collusion? And judges issuing FISA warrants? And multiple intelligence agencies all working hard to stop the Russians from interfering in our elections? Suddenly, the dynamics change. Maybe Hillary is on to something. Maybe she’s telling the truth. And maybe she’s a hero, trying to save democracy.All that rather than what it really was. A complete lie. And an attack on democratic elections. Led by democrats.

But what does the declassification and release of all this evidence for conspiracy mean in reality? What now? Trump and Gabbard are both throwing around the word “treason.” Does this rise to treason? If so, what then? If not, what does this conspiracy rise to?

Tune in to find out!

15-24 Scams and Fraud: Superpowers of the Left

Show 15-24 Summary: The Left lives off scams and fraud. You don’t have 1,500 staged Defy Democracy protests “spring up” organically. It costs money. Lots of it. Craig Rucker from CFACT discusses the continuing, multi-billion-dollar scams of climate change and green energy that fund the Far Left. So why do people inside the Trump administration want to keep the green spigot open? What you haven’t heard about windmills. And what Biden tried to keep hidden. And then Eric Lee, a senior attorney with Judicial Watch, discusses their upcoming hearing as the state of Oregon seeks to dismiss. Judicial Watch’s case would pry open Oregon’s voter rolls and force them to clean them up. As required by law. Because fraud is how Democrats get elected.

This Week – Scams and Fraud

Scams and fraud are how the Left funds itself—and get elected. They are the Left’s true superpowers. Staging 1,000+ protests to Defy Democracy don’t happen in less than a week. With no planning. And no money. Quite the opposite. Do you ever see these massive, widespread protests from the Rigth? No. Because the Right doesn’t get 100s of billions of taxpayer dollars to fund their ideology. But the Left sure does.

It’s time for that to end. And the the Trump administration is working hard to correct these scams and fraud. But is he once again being undermined by people in his own administration?

Craig Rucker: Climate Change and “Green” Energy Scams

First up, we talk with Craig Rucker, President of Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow or CFACT, about some recent revelations that the Biden administration quietly gave waivers to wind farms special waivers, passing along disposal costs to taxpayers. They also removed comments they didn’t like to force an expensive and useless rule change onto natural gas and coal power plants.

And there are more instances of changing data, including outright fraud. Which probably explains why the defendant in a current RICO case in California fled the state. Wait until you hear what else he did besides jimmy the numbers. Craig also discusses the Department of Interior and how Trump’s team may not be in alignment with Trump when it comes to global warming.

Did you catch last week’s show with Jen Hamaker exposing Oregon’s Climate Protection Plan and the latest, it’s carbon cap and trade scheme? It’s Oregon’s democrat-assisted suicide. And with three republicans’ help.

Eric Lee: Dirty Voter Rolls — the Pathway to Election Fraud

Next up is first-time guest, Eric Lee, a senior attorney on Judicial Watch’s election integrity team and a specialist on the National Voting Registration Act. In a much-anticipated lawsuit against Oregon and Oregon’s Secretary of State, oral arguments start Wednesday, June 18th in Eugene’s federal district court as Oregon hopes to get the case dismissed on procedural grounds.

But has Oregon accidentally undermined the credibility of their own case with some public statements? Including admitting just how messy Oregon’s voter database truly is? You’ll hear what Judicial Watch alleges that Oregon’s done and not done, in direct violation of the National Voting Registration Act.  And Judicial Watch’s surprise that Oregon hasn’t entered any filings against the merit of the case.  You’ll hear why they’re here in Oregon fighting the good fight for election integrity — and the reasons why Oregon must clean up its voter rolls.

Sorry Oregon, “trust us” and not letting anyone look isn’t going to fly any longer.

If you want to better understand the Far Left’s operational methods, don’t miss this show!

This Week – Scott McEwen’s Take

No one can say Trump’s first 100 days were slow and uneventful. Executive orders undoing Biden’s damage. DOGE finding no end of democrat-led fraud, abuse, and corruption, pocketing billions of taxpayer dollars. Judicial activism like the country has never seen before. Restoring American energy dominance. Tariffs to force better trade deals. And now the latest revelation from RFK: Biden’s HHS Department was the “principle vector” for child sex trafficking in America.

No matter where you look, the Trump administration is impacting every day Americans. Which is why the democrats are so angry. And why the media has been spinning like crazy, with with over 95% negative news coverage of Trump, JD Vance, and especially Elon Musk.

Judges, Immigration, Revelations, and Prosecutions

Scott contacted us a few weeks ago that he had some exclusive news he wanted to share with our audience. Plus, he wanted to announce an upcoming book signing at a lifelong friend’s store in Aurora. (See details below.)

Scott McEwen is not “just” a bestselling writer. He is also a former trial lawyer and a fierce American patriot with a deep sense of justice and what is right and wrong. As a former attorney, he is deeply troubled what sees as judicial activism and its attack on our Constitution. The foundation of our legal system. But there is justice coming.

A Patriot’s Perspective

President Trump's Truth Social post about the impact of tariffs on income tax. Bad news for the Trump haters.
Don’t worry, Trump haters: You can choose to keep paying your taxes.

We start out with the extreme irony of NY Attorney General Letitia James — who prosecuted Trump for “real estate fraud,” claiming he had overvalued his properties to obtain a loan. Except it turns out Letitia is the one who committed real estate fraud to obtain a loan. (Always accuse the other side of that which you yourself are guilty.) According to reports, o get more favorable loan terms, she claimed on her mortgage application the home — in Virginia — would be her primary residence. Now, the DOJ is opening a case against her. And it could cost her her job. (Oh the delicious, delicious irony!)

Then we wade into judicial activism, immigration, and the stunning revelation at a Cabinet meeting. RFK Jr. revealed that child-sniffing Joe Biden’s HHS Department was, the “principle vector” of child sex trafficking in the U.S., acting as the middle man.

Remember, the Biden administration “lost” over 300,000 children during his four years as they pushed unaccompanied minors out of detention centers into America — and then lost track of them. We also get Scott’s take on the big reveal from last week: Peter Ticktin has recorded evidence of the real insurrection. Democrats in September 2020 plotting the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Treason?

Epstein, the fake Russia collusion, insurrection, treason, child trafficking. How much more can we take and when will the prosecutions start?

Tune in for a great discussion you won’t want to miss. And make plans to see Scott in person on May 17th!

15-17 Deep State Just Got Deeper – Recorded Evidence of the Real Insurrection

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.

This Week – Wisconsin Election Irregularities: A Deep Dive

We return to the murky waters of election interference and voter fraud with a prime example just this week — the special election in Wisconsin. There were some strange “irregularities” that had some election experts questioning what happened. And this less than 10 days after president trump issued an executive order to secure American elections.

Democrats Push Back with a Lawsuit

But just say the words “election integrity” and 18 Democrat state attorneys generals have filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the US and President Trump, claiming his election integrity executive order is “unconstitutional.”  Voter ID?  Heaven forbid.

Dr. Jerome Corsi Exposes Clone Voters

We welcome back Dr. Jerome Corsi who, along with attorney Peter Ticktin, have been exposing elections with “modified duplicates,” also known as “clone voters.”

Dr. Corsi warns, Wisconsin’s voter rolls are a ticking time bomb for democracy

This week we take a deep dive into Wisconsin’s election and why a state that just elected President Trump a few months ago would overwhelming elect a far-left, state Supreme Court Judge. But also passed mandatory voter ID. And both by huge margins.

Dirty Voter Rolls and Suspicious Activity

Tune in to hear the astounding numbers of just how dirty Wisconsin’s voter rolls are. (They just might be trying to challenge Oregon for the title of “dirtiest in the nation.”) But it’s not even just the dirty voter rolls. It’s the other irregularities that point to something suspicious was at work. And don’t miss an exclusive announcement what they plan to do about it.

Trump’s EO and the Future of Elections

If they can pull off their plan, it will set the legal and narrative stage for why President Trump’s executive order is so necessary. And we take a look at that EO, how it will impact voting and make them trustworthy again.  And why states will need to follow through and what happens if they don’t.

The 2026 elections may have some interesting results. If we don’t give up. Listen to find out how you can help secure America’s elections!

Visit GodsFiveStones.com to see how you can help be part of securing America’s elections and make them trustworthy again.

15-08 Winning! Dominance! — And the Losers Trying to Stop It

Show 15-08 Summary: This week we’re looking at some exciting executive orders that, instead of “trickle down,” could be a boulder rolling downhill and cause an avalanche of wealth and economic activity. The National Energy Dominance Council. And then in the second-half of our show, we look at these activist judges that are trying to throw themselves on top of all of President Trump’s executive order grenades. What can be done? Why are democrats determined to fight democracy? Which brings up a bigger question about all that fraud…

This Week – It’s Dominance, Baby

Trump did not survive just to surrender. It is win, baby, win. It’s only been just over a month but a new, even more vigorous Trump is in Washington. And this time, his eyes are wide open. And he’s not stopping. The National Energy Dominance Council. It is going to blow up the “green” energy scam.

On the campaign trail, he talked about the Climate Change scam. The “green” energy scam. What he didn’t talk about was how the Climate Change / Global Warming / Green Energy scams were the largest, most expensive funding model for the Far Left. If you thought the tens of billions USAID spent on far-left causes was horrid, just wait until you hear about the trillions spent on Climate Change.

Up first, we welcome back Craig Rucker, the president and co-founder of CFACT — the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow. There have bene some incredible executive orders but the one establishing the National Energy Dominance Council is one of the most exciting. And, naturally, the economically uneducated “media” barely mentioned it.

American dominance. Trump signs executive order establishing the National Energy Dominance Council. Unleash the prosperity!
Click to watch on YT. National Energy Dominance Council begins at 1:19.

This will not be “trickle down” economics. It just pried loose an economic boulder that is going to unleash an avalanche of economic activity and wealth creation. Think about it. If the average family saves $500 a month because of lower electricity, water, and natural gas prices — and lower gasoline prices — that is $6,000 per household.

And, even better, if your family is saving that much, think how much business and industry will save. That means they can lower prices. Saving families even more.

Yeah. No wonder the media is ignoring energy dominance.

American Dominance and the Losers Trying to Stop It

While Trump and the Republicans push American dominance, the Democrats have staked out the rather odd position of opposing it. Which brings up an even bigger question about all that fraud DOGE has been uncovering. But more on that in a bit.

We also welcome back long-time I Spy Radio guest, James Hirsen, to talk about those activist judges. The Obama- and Biden-appointed judges who are throwing themselves on every executive order, American dominance grenade Trump throws out there. Which itself is an odd thing to do. It’s true. When people find fraud, the people yelling stop are the ones doing the fraud.

James is not just the well-known, bestselling author of Tales from the Left Coast, he’s an international attorney. And he has a terrific article that encapsulates the fight against these activist judges trying to stop Trump’s executive orders: “Birthright Citizenship and Five Little Words” on JamesHirsen.com.

Clearly, Trump not only believes birthright citizenship is wrong, he knew it would create a constitutional logjam and force a final ruling from the Supreme Court. How will it do? A lot of people are worried about the two squishiest judges, John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett. But if they follow the Constitution and the clearly original intent of the crafters of the 14th Amendment, those five little words should sway them. But can they put the Constitution ahead of their personal feelings?

And don’t miss that bigger question the discovery of all that fraud raises. Why aren’t the Democrats joining in to find even more fraud? Clearly, there is fraud.  Clearly, DOGE (the Department Of Government Efficiency) is uncovering fraud. Rather than try to stop it, why not help Republicans find even more?

Everybody hates fraud and abuse. Being on the side of fraud and waste means everyone will hate Democrats. Not smart.
