We are being demoralized and humiliated as a society, yet this is what happens when the government takes control of people, all in the name of FREEDOM. That is exactly what is happening with all these COVID rules and regulations. Take, for example, the COVID rules at airports. Masking will most likely be a permanent policy at airports. If you ask why, the answer could be within the lines of looking back in history. Fifteen years ago, Abdulla Ahmed Ali tried to make an explosive out of a Coke bottle, yet we are still not allowed to bring liquids on airplanes. It was the same thing with the shoe bomber over twenty years ago. We still have to take off our shoes at the airport. These examples just prove Mike Slater’s point that masks will be a forever thing at airports, yet none of it is backed by science. Mike Slater strikes the root on the ridiculous COVID travel rules.
There is no shortage of demoralization in 2021 and one of the leading causes of it is masking. Mike Slater dives into the negative impacts of masks, particularly when it comes to travel. Plus, a very important life lesson about marriage and using social media. Mike is also joined by Meg Kilgannon to discuss the role of parents in childhood education.
Breitbart News Finance and Economics Reporter, John Carney, joins the show for a special on ‘America’s Spending Problem,’ as he shares the true story behind the debt ceiling, the Left’s ploys to trick you into thinking this bill ‘costs zero,’ and the Left’s desire to keep spending.
Biden’s socialist spending spree is the biggest increase in government spending in United States history. This ‘zero-cost’ ploy that the Democrats are peddling, might just be the one of the biggest and most absurd lies told. Taxes will not cover this bill, as Democrats are claiming it will. Most of this money is actually being borrowed, and Americans are going to be paying the consequences, from higher inflation, to slower economic growth, and even fewer opportunities, yet Americans think that this is all okay. This is just a taste to what’s to come. Joel Griffith of the Heritage Foundation, joins the show to discuss the Radical Left’s long-term dream to remodel the American economy into a centrally planned government.
Congress and the Administration of Joe Biden have radically ruined America’s economy…and in record time. Members of both parties act like there are no consequences for their disastrous and depredated financial schemes. If the ‘Infrastructure’ bill didn’t represent such an ominous pivot to Socialism, it would be a joke. Our elected and unelected officials are plundering the federal coffers, choking you off with soaring taxes and unfettered inflation, and leaving future generations with head-spinning debt. Will the Chinese own America one day? At this rate, it’s certain. Can we stop them? Slater investigates.
Between the Left’s massive spending problem, to the recent revelations that the Hunter Biden story was real, it seems to be that the Left are spiraling out of control. Major tech companies and established media outlets all actively tried to undermine and smear the people who tried to bring the Hunter Biden story forward. They were told they didn’t follow proper journalism ethics and it was all Russian propaganda. Well, it turns out those on the Left were actually the ones covering for Hunter Biden. Senior Writer for National Review Online and Author of ‘First Freedom,’ David Harsanyi, helps us understand the government’s reconciliation, as he and Slater then switch gears to discuss the Left covering up for Hunter Biden.
COVID-19 vaccine mandates are coming to a school near you! A San Diego school district recently implemented a policy where students and staff members must have the COVID vaccine in order to attend school, and don’t be surprised if school districts in blue states are going to fall in line and do the same thing. In San Diego, it’s reported that NO child under ten years old has passed away from the Coronavirus. So, why are they forcing students to get jabbed? The answer is: power. It all boils down to the Left’s power and control over you. Mike Slater breaks down your three options, if you are in a school district where they are mandating vaccines for kids.
There are multiple anti-American movements ongoing in the United States right now, potentially none bigger than feminism. Mike Slater argues that feminism is actually anti-women in addition to being anti-men and anti-god. Also, ongoing mandates are anti-American as well when it comes to freedom. Just wait until you hear what is happening in San Diego. Could it happen to you as well? Plus, Mike is joined by David Harsanyi to discuss a variety of topics ranging from the left’s radical spending to Mark Milley testifying on Capitol Hill.
You’ve heard the sentiment that the ‘grass isn’t greener on the other side.’ You see people’s lives, mostly through the lens of social media, and you think to yourself how you really ENVY them. Why, though? Not everything is as perfect as it seems. We know that, though, right? Let’s take Real Estate Developer Mohamed Hadid, for example. He built a sprawling 30,000 square-foot-mega-mansion in Bel-Air that now must be torn down because it was deemed as being a danger to the public. It was supposedly the house that many WANT, which makes you want to ENVY it. On today’s life lessons show, Mike Slater shares how Hadid’s Bel-Air mansion ties into his three powerful reasons as to why envy is a sin and why we should not be envious of others. Instead, we need to be grateful for what we have and never, ever envy others.
The United States is at a pivotal point in history, where it can either be a country ran by the people or a country ran by the cities. Thomas Jefferson actually warned about this and Mike Slater has evidence. Mike also has a very important life lesson about envy. Plus, former congressman Dennis Ross joins the show to explain what a possible government shutdown and radical spending plan means for America.
The experts have manipulated COVID-19 data. We can longer trust how many actual cases there are in the U.S. because anytime someone stays home sick, they are presumed to have COVID, and everything has now become a COVID symptom. We now have to prove that we are healthy. The Left wants you to believe that the Coronavirus is still running rampant, and that all the precautions are still necessary. In Florida, cases are down by 75%, and that’s without any stay-at-home orders or shut downs. The Leftist politicians simply cannot accept reality that they cannot control everything. Mike Slater shares the latest example as to why we can’t trust the experts.
If America continues to listen to the experts, we could wind up like Australia, where civilians are being subjected to draconian COVID enforcement. Mike Slater is joined by Nick Adams to discuss exactly what Australians are experiencing right now and the parallels ongoing in the United States. Plus, Scott Hounsell from RedState joins the show with an update on the Wuhan Lab Leak.
