Show 14-29 Summary: We discuss sniper expert Scott McEwen (co-author of the bestseller, American Sniper) the timeline of events, the bewildering mistakes along the way of the failed Trump assassination attempt.

This Week – The Failed Trump Assassination Attempt

We had scheduled bestselling author, Scott McEwen, weeks ago to discuss another military-related issue. But then the Trump assassination attempt happened. And everything we’d planned went out the window.

Scott McEwen is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book, American Sniper, the story of the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. He also has his own books on snipers, including the Sniper Elite series. So who better to talk to about what happened that fateful day in Butler, PA?

If you have not seen the Trump assassination attempt, watch this clip on X: “I was watching live and rewound the video and recorded.”

We walk through a timeline of events, what is known and the conflicting reports on many of the events. Much of the interview centers on the Secret Service’s bewildering mistakes and missteps. Not to mention the bewildering (a polite word for “completely moronic and stupid) excuse of not covering the roof, because it was sloped. Someone should tell the Secret Service director, the roof is the nearly the same slope recommended by the ADA for handicapped ramps.

Watch: A year before the Trump assassination attempt, Tucker Carlson called it. Tucker predicted that we were on a trajectory for an attempt to take Trump out.

Perhaps the most troubling of all is this: how is it that so much bungling just happened on the one day at the one event where there was an actual assassination attempt on President Trump?

Breaking after the interview – Sen. Josh Hawley: the security detail on the day of the Trump assassination attempt had inexperienced DHS personnel, not Secret Service. Also, Congressman Mike Waltz: FBI briefing says shooter Thomas Crooks had three encrypted overseas accounts.

But first… the SCOTUS Chevron Deference Ruling

We took some time off for July 4th and it just so happened during that time that one of the most important SCOTUS rulings — which we’ve been waiting months for — came down. The Chevron deference decision. (Also called, Chevron doctrine.)

This threw out a previous SCOTUS ruling from back in the mid-80s when Congress was very different. When Congress as a whole had the best interests of the country at heart, even if they approached it from different viewpoints. But it was America first.

What Chevron did was finalize the era of the administrative state, which had been growing for decades. It effectively gave bureaucrats law-making authority. Not the actual laws. Just the part of laws that matter: the rules. When Congress passes laws that have (intentionally, in some cases) ambiguous or gray areas, the bureaucrats step in. They set the rules.

But it gets worse. The administrative state bureaucrats not only set the rules, using their government-approved “experts”, they determined for themselves how fair the rules were through administrative law judges. Think of them as agency-appointed judges, not trial judges with juries. And, under Chevron, if it did make it to a federal court, the courts deferred to the agency and their experts.

It’s about as fair and trustworthy as an accountant auditing themselves. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, a lot did. We talk with Craig Rucker, the president of CFACT, about what happened under Chevron and what will happen now it’s gone. And good riddance.

This Week – Now in Session & Parental Rights II

The legislative session in now in session. What is this going to mean for every day Oregonians? The democrats lost seats in the house and senate. Will they be a little more contrite and easier to work with? Or will it be damn the voters, full steamrollers ahead?

We welcome Senator Dennis Linthicum on to discuss what it will be like now that there are fewer democrats in the legislature. Three fewer in the house, and one fewer in the senate. And very nearly three fewer in the senate, which would have made a 15-15 tie. Have democrats leaned anything from the election? Or is it full steamrollers ahead.

Tune in to find out the democrats plans and schemes as the republicans try to move common sense bills forward.

Parents Rights: The Legal Side

It’s no longer a secret: woke teachers are pulling out all the stops to indoctrinate kids. They’re no longer hiding it. Talking even to very young children about adult matters and sex and their political ideology. Worse, woke teachers and school administrators will “protect” a child from their own parents’ views and beliefs. And even far worse, convince children they have been born into a “the wrong body” and offer them puberty-blocking drugs or help them with gender reassignment surgery.

As a followup to last week’s show, we bring Ernie Trakas, the Senior Litigation Counsel for the Child & Parental Rights Campaign. He is a legal expert helping parents who may be at the butting heads stage (or worse) with their child’s schools. What rights do parents have?

Well, if you listen to the schools, they’ll tell you the law is on their side. Especially Title IX. But, as with so much of what the Left does, it turns out the schools are putting on a facade. tune in to hear what the Supreme Court of the United States has to say. And why it will be the place where woke goes to die.

Parental Rights: What to do if Push comes to Lawsuit

If push comes to shove, and schools continue to push don’t wait. Contact a public-interest law firm like Child and Parental Rights Campaign or one similar. Don’t wait. The longer the problem is allowed to continue it will get worse. Don’t give them your silent consent by not putting a stop to it the longer it goes on.

Do you need legal help to defend your parental rights? Head to Child & Parent Rights Campaign for resources or to just talk to someone. Don’t worry when you can act! But don’t wait.

In the meantime, document everything. Keep emails. Write things down. Phone calls — when, and what was discussed. And then send them an email recapping the conversation. You need to create a paper trail. Think of it as an evidence trail.

And the added benefit is that by emailing them and getting things in writing, you send the signal that you’re a professional and know what to do. Which means they will take you seriously.

But if you don’t know what to do, get in touch right now with an attorney.
