Americans are losing their sense of rights and responsibility, because the public health and government elites do not trust the American people. Americans deserve to have a choice, they deserve to have a say, and the American people deserve honest and transparent information from our public health officials. We have been told so many different things during this pandemic that we now have a lack of trust in our experts, who now feel they have to decide everything for us when it comes to our health. Chairman for the Center for a Healthy America at the America First Policy Institute and Former Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, breaks down the three components when talking about public health and what’s healthy, as he and Mike Slater have an honest conversation about healthcare.
Biden has, not only ignored, but also violated the Federal law, and he is ordering ICE officers and Border Patrol Agents to do the same. He clearly has no interest in deporting illegal immigrants, which has migrants taking advantage of the open border. ICE Officers and Border Patrol Agents need permission to deport them, and since it’s taking at least a few months to even get that permission, they are releasing migrants into the U.S., which has caused a tremendous impact on our country, and especially in the state of Texas. It’s all in the name of power and votes for the Democrats. Former Kansas Secretary of State and currently the General Counsel for the Alliance for Free Citizens, Kris Kobach, is the lead attorney in a federal lawsuit on behalf of Texas Sheriffs and ICE officers against the Biden administration, and he joins Mike Slater to discuss Biden’s ongoing border crisis.
Don’t trust the experts! Mike Slater unveils two major crises that have been created by experts making mistakes that were later recanted after the damage was done. Mike also explains how we are seeing this all play out in modern times. Plus, Bobby Jindal joins the show to discuss the future of public health and Kris Kobach brings you up to speed on a major lawsuit facing the Biden administration on the border.
Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona recently tweeted about a Wisconsin study showing why masking kids is an effective way to prevent them from contracting the Coronavirus. The problem is, he tweeted out false information. The Senior Author of the study stated that they were not able to give out any information as to the role that masks play in the “observed low in-school transmission rates.” Yet, Twitter did not label Cardona’s tweet as misinformation or as an inaccurate representation of the study. Why is that? Who decides what fake news is? Mike Slater argues that this is the exact reason why we cannot trust the experts, in his latest ‘don’t trust the experts’ segment on today’s show.
Are people inherently good people? We have a government that is trying to make it so they track our every move, whether it be how many miles we drive in our car or how much money we deposit in our accounts. They are even going after frustrated parents who are standing up to the woke indoctrination of kids in schools. Yet, if the world views people as inherently good people, then why does the government feel or think that more laws will help our society? Mike Slater makes the case against the idea that people are inherently good, as he discusses how fragile our society is, and how this all ties in to the true story of civilization.
The IRS wants more of your personal information and the FBI has been instructed to go after parents that speak out against school boards. Can our political institutions we trusted with this kind of power? Mike Slater says absolutely not and explains why. Plus, you’ve been lied to by one of the leading experts pushing masks on kids. Mike will expose that so-called expert as well as the big tech oligarchs defending him.
Mike Slater shares his life lesson on marriage, as he breaks down the world vs. biblical view on marriage, and an article from the New York Times on divorce being a radical form of self-love, and why it’s the perfect depiction of how narcissism ruins marriages.
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.
