Episodes
Paul Revere rode into Philadelphia on Sept 16, 1774 with urgent business for the First Continental Congress. His task? Deliver a document from Boston - a blueprint for total resistance. If adopted, secession from the British Empire would be unavoidable. On this episode, it’s Joseph Warren’s forgotten and ignored Suffolk Resolves: The American Revolution’s step-by-step guide for defeating tyranny.

Millions of people today refer to their rights by amendment number, as if they get them FROM the Bill of Rights. Like referring to their right to keep and bear arms as their “2nd Amendment Rights.” But the founders saw things far differently. The words on paper aren’t a permission slip for the people. They aren’t a “gun permit.” They are a restraining order for government: hands off our natural r...
Politicians tell us that welfare programs are absolutely necessary - and helpful. But they ignore the fatal trap that Benjamin Franklin uncovered over 250 years ago: The more you subsidize something, the more you get - government welfare programs make things worse.

1913 was a really bad year. And one of the biggest changes came from the 17th Amendment. It didn’t just alter the way federal senators are chosen, it actually broke a process the framers built into the system: A constitutional KILL SWITCH to end the federal government. On this episode, it’s the “absolute safeguard” - the lost nuclear option for the states that the government-run schools never teach.
For the founders, an elective monarchy was just as bad as an hereditary one - because the core issue was the power of discretion. On this episode, it’s 6 of the most dangerous powers of a king as the founders understood them. And you just might recognize every single one of them today.

The founders knew exactly what it takes to deal with unconstitutional power. How that gets done? It’s built on their experience and tactics against the British empire. On this Episode - it’s 6 steps that actually work as the real enforcement mechanism for the constitution. They come right from the American Revolution, backed by the ultimate check - the duty of self preservation

The founders knew - freedom cannot exist with a government - that doesn’t have strict rules, a clear line in the sand that it’s not allowed to cross. In other words, when government determines the extent of its own power. On this episode, how lessons learned in the American Revolution gave birth to the written constitution. And more importantly, the real reasons it exists - that the government-run schools completely ign...
The top tools of tyrants aimed right at your liberty. Washington, Webster, Paine, Madison, and more - they saw every one of them coming and warned us. On this Episode - what they use against us and what’s self-inflicted.

Declaration of Independence: That long list of charges against the king aren’t mere “grievances.” That word isn’t even in the text. They Founders didn't secede and fight a long, bloody war over mere complaints about bad policy. American Independence was built on something else spelled out in the text itself, and understood by everyone at the time. On this Episode - It's the foundation of the declaration that...
“For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offences.” From the Declaration of Independence, one of the charges against the King that justified secession. It was built on a violent American raid on the British few of us are ever taught about. In the early hours of June 10, 1772, a band of Rhode Islanders rowed out in the dark, shot and seriously wounded a Royal Navy commander, captured the crew and burne...
Tyrants exploit the ignorance and corruption of the people. Samuel Adams warned us, but don’t just blame the tyrants. He said we should blame the people who make them possible by giving us a self-inflicted tyranny. On this Episode: Liberty isn’t taken. With a one-two punch, it’s surrendered.

Written almost 300 years ago, it was so prophetic, it sounds like it was written today. A warning about the dangerous cult that promises to protect your country - but is really killing it. On this episode, it’s the true enemy within, destroying freedom.

“Unconditional submission” or “resistance by force.” Thomas Jefferson, John Dickinson, and the Second Continental Congress said those were their two terrible options less than 3 months after the battles of Lexington and Concord. Live on their knees or fight to the death. They chose the latter. On this episode, it’s one of the most important, but forgotten and ignored documents of the American Revolutio...
“Alter or abolish” Despite those words in the Declaration of Independence, the establishment today would have you believe that any effort to resist their power is “anti-American.” But they have it backwards. On this episode - it’s the founders’ framework, the right to “provide new guards” - and when that rises to the level of duty.

American Independence was built on the understanding that compliance with arbitrary power isn’t safety - or peace - it’s surrender. On this episode, it’s the foundation of the revolution: Laws made outside the limits of the constitution aren’t law at all. And they should be treated that way too.

America was built on a foundation that constitutional violations are a deadly disease. Give government an inch - they’ll take a few thousand miles and they’ll never stop. Before too long, it’ll get to a place where they’re just eating us alive: Our rights. Our money And everything in between. On this Episode, it’s the ancient Roman maxim behind the American Revolution.

The anti-federalist Luther Martin predicted government would be so hungry for your money to feed its power, they would squeeze you like “the juice from an orange.” On this episode, it’s Martin’s warnings about the taxing power - more than a century before the 16th Amendment.

“Much inferior to it” - That’s how Alexander Hamilton described the commander in chief power in comparison to the crown. Yet today - most people who just yell ARTICLE II to support all kinds of unconstitutional acts don’t have a clue what the Founders set up under the constitution. On this episode, we’re setting the record straight. It’s commander. Not king.

You are being ripped off. When it comes to fiat paper “money” - Roger Sherman didn’t hold back. He saw it as an unjust, and totally immoral weapon that turns government into a legalized protection racket for fraud.

For the American Revolutionaries “Liberty or Death” wasn’t just a slogan. It was a warning. Rights aren’t gifts from government, and if you violate them you’ll pay the price. On this episode, it’s the natural rights foundation built on a 2000 year lineage - that made “Rebellion to tyrants” not just a suggestion, but a moral duty: “Obedience to God”

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable.
