This Week – End of the Enviro Left’s Cash Cow?

This week on I Spy Radio, we’re peeling back layers of government overreach and fraud that’ll leave you ready to fight for what’s right. Especially since this victory could mean ending the far-left “environmentalists” billions of dollars of “free cash”—every year—courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers.

This path to victory all started years ago when we first teamed up with the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) in our very first year of being on the air. Way back in 2011 when we were just on one station. SLF is a fearless crew battling the EPA’s power grab. And one of their biggest targets has been the “endangerment finding”—the dodgy cornerstone of the modern “green” agenda.

The endangerment finding is an EPA rule based on pre-determined science that “found” carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gasses were a threat to public health. The rule was then used to mandate the transition to “green” energy. Windmills, solar, electric vehicles, charging stations, and the basis for net zero.

Over the years, its meant trillions for the far left. Your taxes have been funneled into clunky windmills, solar flops, and Far Left cash grabs (that conveniently boomerang back to Democrat politicians’ and activists’ coffers) all rest on this one flimsy rule. And it didn’t stop there—water rights gutted, timber harvests choked—all under the EPA’s ever-growing thumb.

Is the Endangerment Finding in Danger?

Yes! Now, Trump’s EPA is poised to torch this sacred cow of the Left. It’s a seismic shift, and SLF’s years of courtroom trench warfare might finally pay off.

We bring back Kimberly Hermann—SLF’s sharp legal mind and their executive director. Thanks to the Competitive Enterprise Institute prying loose the emails we now know what we suspected that very first show with SLF. That Obama’s EPA pre-determined the “science” for the endangerment finding.

This week, she’s got the latest on Trump’s executive orders, the endangerment finding’s shaky future, and the epic court battles looming as the Left scrambles to save its gravy train. Spoiler: activist judges won’t go down quietly.

Resistance Judges and that Autopen Controversy

Then, meet first-time guest, Hans von Spakovsky. He is a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation. With rogue judges gunning for Trump, Hans takes us inside the courtrooms of these activist federal judges and tells us what’s really happening. It’s even wilder than you think.

And that’s not all. Heritage’s Oversight Project just caught Biden’s White House crew using an autopen to slap Joe’s signature on official, legal documents. Pardons included. Legal fallout? We’re in uncharted waters, and Hans is here to navigate it.

Oh, and after two weeks of dissecting “clone voters” on I Spy Radio, we had to ask: has Hans, who runs Heritage’s Election Law Reform Initiative, heard of this? Turns out, clone voters are just the warm-up—Heritage has unearthed election fraud that’ll make your jaw drop.

Tune in this week. It’s a rollercoaster of truth you won’t want to miss—and yeah, Hans will be back. Count on it.

14-17 Biden Kills Title IX | Democrats Destroy Women’s and Girls’ Rights

14-17 Biden Kills Title IX | Democrats Destroy Women’s and Girls’ Rights

Show 14-17 Summary: You’d think Biden and the Democrats destroying women’s and girls’ rights, that used to be protected under Title IX, would be big news. That throwing out protections for biological women would make front page/lead story status on every mainstream media print and news outlet. Well. It would have if Trump had done it. But since it was Biden and the Democrats stripping women of their rights, the mainstreamers are running cover by ignoring it. We talk with Title IX expert, Sarah Parshall Perry from the Heritage Foundation to find out just how bad it is. And it is as bad as you could imagine, The dream of education is now a woke nightmare for women and girls.

On a Personal Matter…

Dear Friends and Listeners,

I want to thank all of you who have been praying these last few weeks for my wife, Karla Davenport, who is also I Spy Radio’s producer. She lost her ability to stand on Good Friday morning, due to a demyelinating disease. To make matters far worse, while in the hospital she contracted a life-threatening bout of “C diff.” This is a highly contagious bacterial infection. Her internal system had completely shut down, her kidneys were failing, and all of it was causing complication throughout her body, including her heart.

After two weeks in the hospital, she was deemed out of danger and was released to skilled nursing where she remains as  she goes through physical therapy to regain her strength and mobility. We are not yet sure when she will be released home. Your prayers for her full recovery are so very deeply appreciated.

My very best,

Mark.

This Week – Title IX Protections for Women and Girls are Dead

Last week, we saw the total destruction by the Biden administration of Title IX — the landmark civil rights law that has protected women and girls in education since 1972. Those rights are now gone. Replaced by woke ideology that legally considers anyone who thinks of themselves as a woman as a woman.

We know that these kind of things never stay in their own sandbox. How will this bleed over into other elements of society? One area the new changes directly assault is freedom of speech. With these rule changes, the government has officially moved away from protecting free speech, it’s sacred duty according to the first amendment. It is instead censoring speech. And even compelling speech — what you must say. With these new rules on the books, if you misgender someone by not using their preferred pronouns it can be the basis of a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Why Did Democrats Destroy Title IX?

But why would the Democrat party, which claims they are all for women’s rights, completely upend women’s and girls’ rights an education. And why do this if there is clear and compelling legal precedence against it?

We unpack all of that with Sarah Parshall Perry, a Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. She has decades of experience in education and previously served as senior counsel at the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Education Department. And she is extremely knowledgeable about Title IX’s protections for women and girls. Or at least what they used to be.

If you ever needed a reason for school choice this show will give it to you.

And, ladies, if you are a democrat, it’s time for a divorce from them.
