Original Air Dates: June 19 & 20, 2021 | Dr Henry Ealy & David Horowitz

This week: The government lies. All the time. In fact, you could almost say it’s their job to lie to you. And they excel at it. How do we trust when the lies don’t stop?

Covid Lies: Covid-19’s Origins

From the early days of covid, many questioned the “official” narrative. That the virus was natural virus. That it came from bats. It started in a “wet market.” That it spread to humans who ate contaminated bats. That it then spread like wildfire through China. And from there to the rest of the world.

Except we know now none of that is true. None of it.

And it wasn’t innocent mistakes. The CDC and W.H.O. purposefully lied. Why? Why not just be honest? You don’t start off a crisis with intentional lies. That’s not how to build trust. You don’t do that unless you plan to use a crisis for some other purpose.

In case you missed it – be sure to listen to the previous show with Dr. Peter McCullough discussing the covid vaccines

Covid Lies: The “Solutions”

So if they lied to you about the origins, why not lie about their solutions? In fact, they even lied to get to their solution: the covid vaccines. To get their vaccines past regulations they lied to regulators about viable and effective alternate treatments.

That’s why they lied about Hydroxychloroquine. And Ivermectin. And Budesonide. Not to mention the importance of vitamins, especially Vitamin D but also C, E, and A.

Why? Because to get emergency use authorization (EUA), there are two conditions: an emergent need, and there are no other viable treatment alternatives. Setting aside whether there was a true emergency (it’s hard to trust known liars when they scream “crisis!”), there were known and proven alternative treatment options.

And cheap ones. Huh. It’s almost like the government wanted to spend billions of dollars so Big Pharma could make tens of billions of dollars. Why? Becuase that’s how socialism works at its best. Create an artificial need (a crisis). Create the solution to that crisis. Force you to buy it. And, best of all, spend taxpayer dollars that just happens to go to their supports.

Dr. Henry Ealy, Fighting Covid Lies

We welcome back Dr. Henry Ealy to address the covid lies. Among the biggest right now is one you’ve no doubt seen on Facebook or other social media. “The vaccines are safe and go through rigorous tests and are monitored closely.”

Yeah. Right.

Except that as of June 4th, the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS) had recorded 6,246 deaths and 337,226 injuries in connection with the experimental covid vaccines. But several studies show that VAERS under reports adverse effects. By some estimates, it represents only one-tenth of actual cases. Some say even lower. Perhaps as low as only 1% of cases. And in this era of lies, and government suppression, that 1% wouldn’t be at all surprising. But it also means there could be over 62,000 deaths. And over 3.3 million injuries.

Tell me again how vaccines are “safe and monitored closely”…?

Dr. Henry Ealy walks us through the VAERS reports and gives us a dose of reality.

Real Covid Solutions

As we said, the government lied. There are viable and effective treatments.

But. But the government and the CDC and the media all swore the only solution was the vaccine! There are no other solutions. Except there are 691 published studies detailing safe and effective treatments.

Dr. Ealy walks us through some of the known, safe, and effective solutions that are out there.

Government Lies: Socialism at Its Finest (Worst)

Lies are most common in leftist governments. Whether it’s so-called democrats, socialist, fascists, Nazis, marxists, or communists. It is all about having the power to control.

It’s its own weird sickness. in all those Leftist, controlling forms of government, regardless of the level and severity of it, at their heart, Leftist govt’s don’t trust people. While expecting the people they rule to trust government. In fact, as we see too often, people on the Left, really don’t even seem to like people. It’s why communist governments think nothing of killing millions of people.

This week, we wanted to welcome back best selling author David Horowitz. Unfortunately, he had to cancel literally at the last minute. We called at our scheduled time only to find out his wife was in urgent care. So we will reschedule with him later in the summer to discuss his highly important new book, The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America.

Fortunately, we have archives. And so this week we aired some excerpts from that previous show in 2014 to set the stage for when he can join us. There are lessons we should have learned then that we still need to learn now.

Show Summary: As more information comes out, the more the “official” covid sources are being proved wrong. On a daily basis. But it’s more than just politics. There are real dangers to the vaccines that they’ve been pushing. Why are they shoving this experimental vaccine at people? It turns out some conspiracies about covid have been correct all along.

This Week’s Show

If you’re like us, you’re running out of conspiracy theories. What we’ve been saying about the virus is proving true. That covid-19 was not a natural virus, that it really was created in the Wuhan lab, and that it may… may have been released intentionally. That remains to be seen. But, because doing so would have been such a horrific crime, we may never know.

And, if you’re like us, you’ve been shadowbanned, blocked, even banned altogether on social media for daring to talk the truth about the vaccines, covid-19, or, Heaven forbid, hydroxychloroquine. Lord knows we can’t talk about anything other than the vaccine and how safe it is.

Which, it isn’t. Yes, we said it. The covid vaccines aren’t safe.

…when it comes to covid, politics is far, far more important than health

Dr. Peter McCullough: Time for some Truth about Covid

Dr Simone Gold: It's not "research" if they're censoring opposing information. It's not "science" if you're not allowed to question it. — *A dose of truth about the covid vaccines from Dr. Simone Gold of America’s Frontline Doctors*

This week, we talk with Dr. Peter McCullough. If you don’t know him by now, you should. But it’s not surprising if you don’t. Because the media and the official covid sources don’t like what he has to say. This, despite the fact he is one of the nation’s top covid-19 experts.

And, worse, he tells the truth without the political spin. And when it comes to covid, politics is far, far more important than health. For example, why is it forbidden to talk about the origins of covid-19? Early on, respected researchers tried to alert the world what they were seeing. That covid had genetic markers, such as from HIV, to make it more powerful and more contagious. Did the world listen to these researchers? No. They were told to shut up. One French researcher, when he refused to shut up, was jailed.

Why?

And what about that “conspiracy theory” that the virus was engineered? What does one of the nation’s top covid experts think about that? Is there evidence that points to a man-made origin?

Covid Vaccines: They’re Dangerous

Dr. Peter McCullough talks to us about the vaccines and some of the emerging (bad) data about them. The VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting Sytem) has been swamped with adverse effects—including deaths. In other words, there are problems resulting from the vaccines—including deaths—that are being reported to official sources, and yet no one seems to care.

In any other situation, a vaccine with 25–deaths would be pulled off the market. Currently, there have been over 5,300 deaths. And many researchers say the VAERS system usually only reports 1/10th of the actual numbers. Yes. There could be over 53,000 deaths from the covid vaccines.

As of May 28, there have 294,801 adverse effects from the covid vaccines reported to VAERS

Covid Vaccines: Why the Extreme Marketing Push?

With all the problems, you’d think more official sources would be looking into things. Except they aren’t. They’ve stuffed their fingers in their ears and hum a little tune while people are dying.

But ask yourself this. Why are the covid vaccines being pushed? Frantically. On TV, online, on social media. The government spent billions of dollars on ad campaigns. And all this for a disease that has an average survivability rate of about 99.9%. So why push the vaccines so desperately? We ask Dr. McCullough that.

The Vaccines’ Side Effects

We talk with Dr. Peter McCullough about some of the reported adverse reactions. Blood clots are among the biggest concerns because they can lead to all sorts of problems and have been reported for quite some time.

But there are some other reports going around. Like the vaccine nano-particles and spike proteins leaving the injection site. And accumulating in organs, such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, and even the ovaries.

Or what about rumors of depopulation? Could this be true? Tune in to find out.

What if you already took one of the Covid Vaccines?

If you haven’t taken the vaccine, should you? And who should definitely not be taking it? But what if you already did? Are you in danger? What should you be looking out for? And what can you be doing to protect yourself.

These are the important questions that need to be asked. But aren’t.

Those Covid Conspiracy Theories that Aren’t

Next up we welcome back one of I Spy Radio’s favorite guests Chuck Wiese. We love good thinkers here on I Spy Radio and Chuck is a great one. Plus, unlike a lot of pundits on the MSM, he’s an actual trained scientist. And he loves nothing better than to debunk (okay, destroy) bad data and bad science.

From early on, Chuck warned people that covid-19 looked lab created. Someone made it. And it was meant as a bioweapon. Tune in to hear the evidence that now truly supports his suppositions.

Hydroxychloroquine: The Evidence is In

If you’ve heard Chuck Wiese in the recent past, you know he’s been all over hydroxychloroquine as a viable treatment for covid. That there was never any legitimate reason to ban it. And, it turns out, he was exactly right. Be sure to join us for this sweet, sweet victory lap.

Not just a major but the major anti-hydroxychloroquine studies was retracted. Why? Because the underlying data set could not be verified. Once again. Bad data.

It’s good to be right.

Did you know? Study shows hydroxychloroquine treatments increased coronavirus survival rate by 200%. See “Study shows” in links section below.

This Week: With all these covid mandates and lockdowns and executive orders that have fines and punishments attached and yet aren’t really laws but are being portrayed as though they are—combined with our loss of freedoms, it’s hard to know where and how to push back. It’s bewildering. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an easy toolkit to take the guesswork out of it? Make things easy. And yet still be highly effective?

Well, look no further. We have it for you.

Covid Pushback

In all of this covid pandemic, it’s been the loss of our freedoms that is the most heartbreaking. The country our Founding Fathers gave their lives for, and our ancestors fought to maintain, is being stolen out from under us. Where did America go? When dictator-like governors, like Oregon’s, makes rules with whatever pops into her head.

Take a Stand! Text “stand” to 313131 to tell your legislators you believe in health freedom!

What’s worse is that these rules and mandates are designed to make us weak. We gained our freedoms by a commitment to God and country. We spoke with our fellow man. And we discussed and debated what freedom really was. We came together as a society. All these rules and mandates have driven us apart. They have kept us apart.

They have made us weak by taking away our normal means of standing up for the very freedoms being taken away.

The Next Phase: Covid Vaccine Passports

Have those in power learned a lesson? Do they fear the people—as they should? No. Those that have suffered no genuine pushback (like Oregon’s and New York’s governors) are more emboldened than ever. Which is why they are pushing now covid vaccine passports.

Make no mistake. These are completely modeled after China’s social credit score system. Doubt us? China has said they want to run the vaccine passport system. Because this hardened communist country that thinks nothing of murdering, imprisoning, and enslaving their own citizens totally want to make sure the rest of the world is free. Right?

Haven’t taken the covid vaccine yet? Thinking about it? Before you do, watch this short video.

What You’ll Learn This Week

We welcome Leah Wilson to the show this week. Leah is the co-founder and executive director of Stand for Health Freedom. We get to know her organization, what they do, and how they got their start—due to drugs being pushed onto helpless kids trapped in the foster-care system.

On this week’s show, you’ll get some clarity on the health care laws and rules out there. And some things you as an every day citizen can do. Not to mention what you can do to defend your business. We also talk about what’s happening right now in Oregon. The Petri Dish of Leftist politics and ideology.

Pay attention to Oregon. What happens here doesn’t stay here. It spreads like a disease, infecting other states. Right now, Oregon is on the verge of vaccine passports. We NEED to stop this. And here’s how.

Vaccine Passports Pushback: Tools to Win

Activism can be tough. It’s even harder when you don’t know where to start. Or you feel alone and powerless. Which is exactly how those in power want you to feel.

Well, no more. Now, using Health for Freedom’s simple, and easy to use tools, you can take a stand for freedom in as little as five minutes. You simply fill in some details and they do all the work for you. And it works.

Why? Because it applies the biggest pressure known to politicians: daylight. Politicians love to work in secret and not have people know what they’re doing. Stand for Health Freedom’s tools bring public exposure and lets politicians know you are watching them. You know. And you’re against it.

Face it. Politicians say they love democracy. But when it gets right down to it, they hate when people actually get engaged.

And that’s how you win.

Do it Now. Don’t Wait.

And time is of the essence. Oregon’s HB3057 that opens the door to vaccine passports breezed through the House. The bill will allow the Nazi-named Oregon Health Authority to disclose your “individually identifiable information and health status related to covid 19.”

Yep. It’s the vaccine passport. And, as we say, it already passed the House. Now it’s on to the Senate.

Why did it pass? Because people were silent. And not many people knew about it. That’s why it’s critical you get engaged right now.

And remember: if it happens in Oregon, it’s coming to your state too.

There are two ways to do it:

Go to Stand for Health Freedom’s Take Action page. Select your state and look for the action items. And then just follow the simple directions
Text the word “stand” (without the quotes) to 313131. Fill out the information and they will walk you through the rest.

The Covid Grand Jury

Remember two weeks ago when we had Dr. Henry Ealy on? He talked about the need to impanel a covid grand jury to dig into what really happened in the covid pandemic. The gain of function. How covid-19 was released in the first place. The involvement of our health departments. Dr. Fauci’s role. The bad data that led to the lockdowns. And so much more.

Now, you can help make that happen. Just head to SFHF’s petition page. Or simply text “CDC” to 313131.

Remember: being silent is how you lose freedoms. Don’t be silent.

Original Air Dates: May 15 & 16, 2021 | Jonathan Williams

This Week: Economics isn’t always exciting — unless things are blowing up. Or it’s a horse race.

We welcome back Jonathan Williams, Chief Economist and Executive Vice President of Policy of the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC has just released their 2021 Rich States, Poor States guide for 2021, an annual guide to the 50 states’ economic outlook. Talk about good, bad, and ugly. Look no further than how the states are competing with one another.

The Overall U.S. Economy & Economics

Before we narrow down to the states, we first look at the overall economy. This is a bit of a continuation of the last time Jonathan was on, when we talked about the democrats’ shift to what we call “non-reality economics.” The democrats’ plans are an explosion of taxes and spending sprees (what did we just say about exploding economics…?).

That discussion, was about the radical shift we’re seeing the democrats trying desperately to push on the U.S. Which, sadly, takes a hard left turn away from what has made America successful. It’s a fantasy land where debt has no meaning, money is infinite, and all we need to do is print money and borrow until every there’s a unicorn in every garage and a leprechaun in every pot.

But the problem democrats always run into is simple one. Reality. And there’s proof, thanks to the 50 test tubes of democracy that make up America.

Good Economies: How NOT to do it

Sometimes, to know what to do, it helps to know what not to do. And look no further than New York State, which had the worst response to covid and lost a congressional seat due to people fleeing the Empire State. And now new York will punish the people and businesses that for some reason haven’t left. Yet.

We talk with Jonathan about his terrific article in the National Review, “The Fallout from ‘Progressive’ Budgets in New York.” There has been a massive shift in who pays for things. Now, instead of New York being in debt to cover its debt, everyone else gets to go in debt to cover New York’s debts.

And that’s the direction we as a nation are headed. Where there is a fundamental shift in who pays for things: everyone is paying for everyone else. That’s socialism. Marxist ideology pushed onto America.

Socialism only survives as long as it is able to feed off the success of capitalism
– Mark Anderson

Rich States, Poor States

Why and how economies and economic policies work is sometimes beyond people’s wheelhouse. But everyone understands competition, right? Who’s best. Who’s worst. And who’s on the way up and who’s on the way down.

That’s where Rich States, Poor States comes in. (You can download your own copy right here.) RSPS is a look back at the states’ economic performances over the last 10 years—of available data. This year, its’ a look at 2009–2019.

The backward-looking economic performance ranking examines how well states did. Oregon, from 2009–2019, really didn’t do too bad. This ranking looks at three variables: a state’s gross domestic product, their absolute domestic migration, and non-farm payroll.

Take a look at Oregon’s charts. And look at how well they’re correlated. As the state did better and better, culminating in 2015, people moved in (especially in 2016). Payrolls went up. And then, as Oregon’s GDP declined, there went the people. And payrolls dropped.

See? Economics isn’t too hard.

Oregon’s Economic Outlook

When it comes to Oregon’s economic outlook ranking, every year we’re like “please don’t embarrass us, please don’t embarrass us…” And then there we are. Near the bottom. Again. But it’s even worse this year.

You’ll have to tune in to hear just how bad. (Or, you could cheat and go right to Rich States Poor States to find out.) But here’s a hint. We beat even our idiot neighbor to the south in some categories. In fact, in the worst possible category. And we’re worse than New York State in some categories. You know, the one state we just mentioned. How not to run an economy.

Although at least the beat us to the bottom for the worst outlook. Hey. You gotta look for the positive right?

Show Summary: The first duty of government is to protect people. That’s why defending police and law enforcement is so important. But a new book, The Obama Gang, points to an Obama sabotage — a coordinated effort to undermine police in America. Here in Oregon, the right to defend yourself is always under attack. Did Republicans sell out? Literally?

URGENT: Be sure to contact the Oregon House Committee on Rules members and urge them to bring HJR18 to the floor. HJR 18 would end the governor’s emergency orders. See list of emails below.

This Week: How many times have you watched that scary movie where somebody hears a noise, and as the stairs creak, they head downstairs in the dark while you scream at them, “Are you crazy?! Turn on the light!” Or think, “There’s no way I’d do that without a gun!”

That pretty much sums up how Oregon’s legislature, and many blue states, are treating its citizens. Because asking citizens to keep guns locked up, or not allowing law enforcement to do its job, feels like you’re living unprotected in that creaking and dark house.

With the good guys maybe not arriving in time.

Defend yourself? Good luck with that

On this week’s show, we take a look at how a society breaks down, and tyranny becomes the rule of law. The stressors our police face become not only worrisome but dangerous as they drop their shields and find another way of life. It’s happening right now in real time with hundreds of cops fleeing the large cities they were trying to protect — only to be denied the tools, or political support, they needed to get the job done.

And at a time when police are hamstrung, in Oregon politicians are making it harder for people to protect themselves in the absence of law enforcement. New, tyrannical gun laws have been passed force law-abiding citizens to lock guns up all in name of “making you safer.” Hint: locking up guns makes criminals safer.

The Obama Gang: New Book Points to Obama Sabotage

First up, we talk with retired Seattle police officer and author of five books, Steve Pomper. Mr. Pomper is author of the recently released, The Obama Gang.

We discuss his work as an officer and why he chose to leave the Seattle police. And what he feels will happen as police forces continue to shrink in size and authority.

You’ll also hear how Barack Obama (through his post-presidency foundation), assembled, launched, and wages the new assault on American law enforcement. If it sounds like sabotage, it’s because it is.

In Oregon, we lock up our businesses. And our guns.

Then Oregon’s own, Rob Taylor, joins us talking about what has happened to our 2^nd Amendment rights during this year’s Oregon’s legislature, and why. First, we find out the devastating affects Governor Kate’s lock down orders have already had on small towns. And what will the new round of lock downs have? And just where are the leaders who should be defending their citizens?

Did Oregon Republicans Sell Out on Gun Rights?

A new bill, SB554, passed that requires ALL guns to be locked up. The bill makes criminals of everyday Oregonians who want their guns at the ready should an actual criminal decide their house looks ripe for the plucking. Guess who in that scenario does not have their gun locked up?

While Republicans (and Democrats) have successfully used walking out in the past to deny quorum over important bills, for some reason, the Republicans stayed and allowed SB554 to pass. They didn’t vote for it, but they didn’t stop it. What gives?

Could it be that Oregon Republican legislators were “bought off”…? Oregon voters may not be too happy to hear what happened and why. And one Senator in particular may bear the brunt of it.

Take Action! End the Covid “Emergency”

As mentioned during the show, a joint resolution, HJR18, is a simple sentence that reads, “Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon: Pursuant to ORS 401.204, the state of emergency declared by the Governor in Executive Order 20-03 on March 8, 2020, relating to the COVID-19 outbreak in Oregon, is terminated.” Short. Simple. To the point.

HJR 18 is currently in the House Committee on Rules. We urge you to copy and past the email addresses below, and ask they bring it to the floor. Be polite and respectful. But be strong. it can be as simple as “Please support HJR 18 and bring it to the floor.” It’s time to end the endless emergency orders.

Original Air Dates: Apr 17 & 18, 2021 | Burgess Owens & Scott Shepard

This Week: Two years ago, we experienced what life is supposed to be like. During the Obama years, we had to do so by living vicariously through our history books. We dreamed about such times as the Reagan years—while living through Obama, who worked hard to shackle us to a program where government owned us called Obamacare. It was an attempt by big government to literally control our very breathing.

Because when you give the government control over your health, you give them permission to run all aspects of your life. Get it now?

But then Trump rode in swinging, to stop government overreach through the alphabet soup of EPA, DHS, and even the FBI and DOJ. Trump knew that he had to immediately start to downsize, restrict, or expose them and their reach into our lives.

Biden: Obama II

But with the disastrous 2020 elections over, along came Obama II — or at least that’s who Biden hopes to be. So sequestered from the people he is supposed to serve, it’s hard to say if he has an original thought in his head.\

Already admitting he talks to Obama “frequently,” Biden’s far-left ideology and moves toward it are enormous. But even Obama never said, as Joe just did referring to the 2nd Amendment, that “No Amendment is absolute.” Wow.

Burgess Owens: Insider Look at Congress

This week we dive into the heart of where much of the far-left ideology is attempting to move the US: an era of new racism, away from free elections, free markets, and free thinking. First up, we talk with Congressman Burgess Owens. A man who has fought tirelessly for years for the Black community to help them become inspired and free themselves from Democrat programs that hold them back.

It was something that Trump was also becoming successful at, and Blacks began to move toward a more conservative approach.We saw a huge uptick in Blacks voting for Republicans. Is that why the Left is frothing at the mouth to introduce a new era of racism? To turn all races against one another and turn everyone against Whites? That’s the Left’s new racism. We’re all united in hating Whites.

How and what are Republicans doing in Congress and what he expects to see in 2022. We ask where are the republican attempts to derail the extremist democrats? Will they pull any democrat congressmen to the republican side?

And we discuss Pelosi’s backing off of the Far Left’s court packing and why she backed off. But we start off with a recent cartoon, in a Utah newspaper owned by Huntsman’s brother, that depicts Burgess Owens as a racist.

And speaking of racism, we talk about Biden’s racist programs to fight racism — the $4 billion Biden plans, to give to minorities to pay off their farm loans. But not one penny to help White farmers.

Corporate Wokeness: Blackmail States for Politics?

Then we welcome back Scott Shepard, who happens to be an attorney, and discusses why court packing is so wrong and how it will backfire big time for the Far Left.

You may remember that Scott’s Free Enterprise Project confronts big business at shareholder meetings about their embrace of Leftist ideology. Now, big business is going even further. No longer just virtue signaling but going so far as activism—corporate wokeness—attacking states like Georgia who are trying to pass voter integrity laws and stop the cheating. Now, big business seems to want to step into the role of ruling us rather than running a business. Do they see a time that government won’t be necessary because they can just take over? And are free markets a problem in trying to hold them back, before they become too big to stop?

Covid Passports

Governors in democrat-run states like NY and Calif., and even the Biden administration are eyeing covid passports. And, just recently, the EU announced they will allow U.S. visitors if they have a valid vaccine passport.

A vaccine passport is an official confirmation that you must show you’ve had the vaccine before allowed into certain venues or on planes or other transportation. This is a huge privacy invasion but more importantly, its the slippery slope that heads us toward China’s social credit score system, which allows you access — or not — depending on your obedience to the state.

In other words, “Papers, please!” Straight out of Soviet Russia.

Don’t miss a fascinating discussion that will help you sort out this craziness.

The Democrats’ War on Economics: Tax Explosions and Spending Sprees

Show Summary: A radical shift is underway as democrats shove America away from reality-based economics towards an economy where normal monetary policy is abandoned, taxes are imposed on the “undesirables”, and public monies are used to reward themselves and their allies. Think it’s not possible? It’s already underway. Find out what’s coming.

This Week: When we were kids it was exciting to be handed a quarter thinking about how and where to spend it. And we learned that a quarter was wonderful, but a dollar was even better. Except maybe those lessons of having and handling money are being lost in the age of debit cards, or electronic purchases. Because the tangible feel of money and its worth is somehow getting lost. A coin or a dollar in the hand reminds a child of its temporary nature, and once spent it’s gone—versus money “out there” in the cloud somewhere, where there’s always more of it.

Basic economics are under attack.

Non-Reality-Based Economics

As politicians supposedly grapple with debt, it is somehow made mystical in the world of zeros and ones with digital accounts. Not surprising when computer modeling and predictions take over reality. But is there a point of reckoning that will be no longer be possible to bury or ignore? Basic economic principles would say yes.

This week, we work to uncover those economic principles that so many Left-leaning politicians wish us not to examine. (Especially in an AOC world where if the computer doesn’t say it, then it’s not so.) It is becoming painfully obvious that those in charge of America’s economics, and raising and spending the public’s money have no grounding in basic economics or business.

Central Assessment

We start off with Carl Wilson, former Oregon state representative, and owner of KAJO, out of Grants Pass, that airs I Spy. We discuss the new threat to local radio stations as Oregon decided to shift them into a new taxing scheme called “central assessment.”

To date, Oregon is the only state imposing this new taxing methodology on local radio stations. Instead of local counties determining their taxes, now a state central system will determine what their assessed value is. This potentially opens the door to a punitive system that large communications operations might be able to absorb, while hurting the mom’s and pop’s segments. Something far left democrats seem to do all too often while making policy decisions.

And don’t miss who is getting special carve-outs. Is this a backdoor way to collapse conservatives’ dominance in talk radio?

Economics 101? Or No Room for Reality?

Then we talk to Jonathan Williams, Chief Economist for American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. He brings us up to date on the spending that Biden’s administration is zeroed in on. We discuss what is happening with the dollar and a possible move by China to do more harm to America’s economy.

We’re only a few months into the Biden administration. But there is already a worrisome economic forecast on the horizon possibly coming our way in the next few years. We are spending trillions upon trillions, with more than $6 trillion planned just in the first 4 months. Which doesn’t even cover the “normal” government spending of $4.5 trillion per year.

Where is this coming from?

It can only come from wishful, magic money. Where it never has to be paid back.

Economics + Monetary Policy = Coming Crash?

In economics, just like in life, you ignore reality at your peril. See the links section below for some concerning videos that are warning about a potential and massive crash. Which, they claim, is all but certain. One of the most concerning is from Harry Dent. Harry Dent warns that globally, financial assets (stocks, bonds, etc.) are massively over-valued: $520 trillion which is 6.2 times global GDP of ~84 trillion. He says it normally is only about 2 times.

With so many warnings from well-respected economists and analyses, maybe it’s time to protect yourself.

Carl Wilson (Segments 1–3)

Basic definition of central assessment: “The state assesses the property value of a business, rather than a local county assessing the value. The difference is the central assessment uses the company’s entire, statewide worth (even if they’re not a statewide company), including all property, equipment, brand value, and more. Even equipment decades old is lumped in—at original retail costs—rather than its current depreciated value.
Central assessment: A great writeup from Eric J. Kodesch: Oregon Supreme Court Finalizes DOR’s Complete Victory in Central Assessment Dispute (Journal of Multistate Taxation and Incentives, Volume 29, Number 3, June 2019)
- This is the kicker: “the Oregon Supreme Court agreed with the Department’s position that property is new property if it is “newly added to an account on the assessment rolls.” In other words, in addition to property purchased or constructed by the taxpayer, new property includes the decision by the Department to centrally assess property.
- Further, the new property consisted of all of the property moved to the new account, and not just the property not previously subject to tax, such as the intangible property.”
  - In other words, its new if we say it’s new
- This is rather alarming. It’s taxable if the govt decides it’s taxable and no pesky law designed to protect from the government can protect you
Oregon Supreme Court Provides Definition of “Data Transmission Services” for Central Assessment Purposes (Stoel Rives, LLP, Oct 2, 2014)
- “As in most states, “central assessment” (or “state assessment”) generally means that the value of taxable property is determined “centrally” by the state’s Department of Revenue rather than by the local county assessor.
- In Oregon, however, a major additional consequence of central assessment is that intangible property of a centrally assessed business is subject to tax, while the intangible property of a locally assessed business is not.
- Furthermore, central assessment is based on the value of the taxable “unit” of property, as allocated and apportioned to Oregon taxing jurisdictions by formula. For these reasons, central assessment can, at least in theory, use the entire worldwide brand value of a business, including goodwill, as its starting point, as well as all of its real and tangible personal property.”

This Week: How do we put a value on achieving life’s goals? Do we assess an achievement by personal satisfaction? By how we’ve helped others? Or does the value of achieving a life’s goal go deeper? What if the cost is you won’t give up, no matter what?

For a select few, this is their life. When all seems lost, nothing is working out, and nobody seems to be there to help when you need it most, and you feel physically and mentally broken, you don’t give up. That’s a life goal and struggle that is achieved by America’s best and, for the most part, we’ll never hear about. Navy SEALs who push beyond anything else no matter what they face, they refuse to give up until their mission is completed.

Hell Week and Beyond

But to get to that level, they have to go through Hell. Hell Week. The specialized training that the best of the best must find a way to push through.

Scott McEwen’s new book is Hell Week and Beyond: The Making of a Navy SEAL. We interview him to find out what Navy SEALs go through but also the lessons we can learn on how to survive our own personal hell weeks. You’ll hear about the types of tests and rotations these incredible superheroes-in-the-making need to pass in order to stay with the program—and who instructs them along the way. And you’ll hear what can wash a SEAL out of the program and what won’t, and why the one thing that they all have in common keeps them there when others give up

Tune in to get insights into how those values can become a part of everybody’s life. Because in America today with the Far Left’s effort to change America into something that is unrecognizable to most people, we also can’t give up – no matter what.

Equity & Fairness (But Only if You’re the Correct Kind)

By Dr Mark | March 16, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Show Summary: Last week, our guest said a new focus of the political left is to infuse “equity and fairness” into everything. This week, we dig a little deeper into how that plays out: in community safety and policing, (including defunding the police), reparations, and especially socialized health care.

Original Air Dates: March 13th & 14th, 2021 | Nadra Enzi & David Ridenour

This Week: During Biden’s recent national address (actually, it’s been his only national address since ascending to the presidency), he pushed the point that if Americans would just obey the mandates they’d be allowed to celebrate Independence Day. Really? We must have very different ideas about the concept of independence.

Equity and Fairness

Actually, Joe’s approach could safely be called the far-left’s approach to governing, maybe even life. If you’d just throw down your inalienable rights, we’ll let you live. And you’ll think you’re free because we won’t mess with you as long as you do everything we tell you to. And that’s where America is heading under a Biden presidency. Follow the mandates regardless of Constitutional rights and we’ll get along just fine.

And, if you missed our show last week, with Kimberly Hermann of Southeastern Legal Foundation, you got a hint of it. Fairness and equity. This is the new focus of the political Left. The Marxists in all their forms.

Fairness and Equity: Socialized Medicine Version

Two of the big mandates, or rules, they want to push on America is socialized medicine and climate change. Both prescribe a different way of life that hands over personal freedoms and decisions in exchange for “government protections”.

Protections that allow the government to dominate every part of the American way of life. And remember: if they’re protecting it. They can also take it away.

And just wait until the vaccine mandates start coming out— determining whether or not you’ll be allowed to travel if you don’t have one, as countries gather to collectively agree do so mimicking a one world order.

Nadra Enzi: Leftists choose Ideology over All Else

So this week, we pick apart that agenda and how it’s trickling down into government policies and programs. Like reparations and soon the push to continue to fully socialize medicine. What’s driving all this? Ideology.

To talk about all of this we bring back a favored guest, Nadra Enzi, who fights a daily battle to bring law enforcement and community together for a safer life. A community safety advocate, he’s been on the battlefield of fighting for personal freedoms for years and discusses why now the push has become defunding police and reparations. All in the name of equity and fairness.

But when you break it down, it’s really only targeted for a few. And it’s really about those in power who want more power by dividing us.

David Ridenour, President of NCPPR

Then we talk to David Ridenour, founder and president of the National Center for Public Policy Research. David lived in Oregon many years ago, and things have certainly changed in this state. We discuss why NCPPR started in the Reagan days as a conservative think tank.

And there’s no greater example of Marxist ideology than socialized healthcare. We’re living through it right now. Because, as we’ve said many times on I Spy Radio, if you give the government power over your healthcare, you give them the right to control every part of your life. W

hy? Because now you’re fiduciary liability to them.

Government has the Lock. You Gave them the Key

And just look what we’re seeing. Covid has been the tool to lockdown the country, destroy a booming economy, and the excuse to demand compliance from citizens on everything from wearing masks to how close you’re allowed to stand. So we talk with David about socialized medicine as a key to condition people to accepting government. In every aspect of your life. After all, it’s about fairness and equity, right?

With the push toward a socialist state being driven harder than ever before, the work NCPPR does is more important now than ever.

Its focus on relationship-building at all levels, however, seems to have fallen short of the mark. In fact, it appears that relationship-building between police and the public gave way to calls for diminished police powers and even abolishing the profession altogether.”

It’s been a long week—or maybe going on two, depending on if you’ve gotten your power turned on—as ice invaded a rather comfortably mild winter for most. Then temperatures dropped all across the nation, placing people in at times life-threatening conditions. How did this happen when we’ve heard so often from the global warming community that carbon dioxide was creating rising temperatures? But even as the snow and ice hit, those same experts blamed—what else?—global warming.

The Green Energy Scam

Unbeknownst to many, for years, governors like GW Bush, made policy decisions about investing in windmills and solar. Governors like GWB knew only what pro-Global-Warming “scientists” told him about Global Warming, which led to pro-Global-Warming policy decisions. However, these scientists’ predictions were made by claiming their computer models were nearly infallible. Or at least not to be questions. So governors didn’t.

But as the years of weather conditions didn’t match up with the predictions, science became a game of outfoxing, out-promoting, and outspending those who angrily exposed their lies and fraud. And now we see the results of what happens when following the brick road of lies leads to disaster, with oil-rich Texas being the prime example of unreliable “renewable” energy.

But why? Why were some, calling themselves scientists, willing to place themselves in a situation where they now look ridiculous? We examine that this week and hope to shed new light on some old fights.

Myron Ebell Weighs in on Texas Green Energy Failure

We start out with Competitive Enterprise Institute’s, Director for the Center of Energy and Environment, Myron Ebell, who grew up in Eastern Oregon and is now working in Washington, DC — the hotbed of the Global Warming debate. With Biden taking over and touting the US return to all things green, we discuss what happened this winter in Texas. Ebell walks us through how Texas got to the point of wind turbines freezing up and breaking, putting Texans at risk with no heat while in freezing temperatures. Texas of all places. A conversation that maps out why so much went wrong and that the rest of the nation cannot ignore, especially with the rush to infuse “climate change” into literally every level of government.

Chuck Wiese: The Global Warming Scam

Then we bring on meteorologist, Chuck Wiese, who is also a retired commercial pilot, where accurate weather data really mattered. He takes us in-depth into those magical, global warming computer predictions and brings to life the techniques used to create the computer model.

You’ll learn a bit more about weather itself, how its predicted, and why predictions routinely break down more than five days out. And we learn how those billion-dollar climate warming models compare to weather forecasting and why they not only don’t work in the long-term but can’t work in the long term. Real life information that global warming supporters can’t run from.

In other words, as Chuck would say, the Great Oz no longer has his curtain to hide behind.
