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.
President Biden has undone all of the policies and incentives that were keeping people away from our border, and now Border Patrol Agents, who have been demonized for simply doing their jobs, Custom Border Patrol, and surrounding communities have all been affected by this disaster. Cesar Ybarra, Senior Director of Legislative Affairs FreedomWorks, joins the show to discuss the unraveling border crisis.
Since the 2010 hurricane in Haiti, Haitian migrants have been waiting on the day to finally get payback on the United States. They feel like we owe it to them, that we let them down, and it is something Haitians may never forget and never move past. So, what do they feel the U.S. has done to them, that now thousands and thousands of Haitians migrants are flocking to the border to enter our country and finally get the payback they feel they deserve? On today’s show, Mike Slater strikes the root on the Haitian migration.
VP Kamala Harris has been tasked with finding the root causes for migration to the southern border. Mike Slater has done her job for her. Why are so many Haitians headed to the United States and what role did The Clintons play? Mike has the details. Plus, where is the state of California headed following the failed Gavin Newsom recall? John Phillips joins the show with more.
Between the Biden administration’s mixed messaging and failed policies, migrants have now taken advantage of the opportunity to come into the United States, which is why we are seeing a surge at the border, with these illegal migrants coming in excess of 200,000 individuals a month. In addition, the odds of them actually getting to STAY in the country are far more likely, which has migrants and cartels taking chances and facilitating their entries into the U.S. like never before. Chairman for AFPI’s Center for Homeland Security & Immigration, America First Policy Institute, Chad Wolf, sits down with Slater to discuss how these Haitian migrants were able to get to Del Rio, Texas in the first place, and why these migrants are not asylum seekers, but are here for job opportunities and the economic system. Chad also shares the ‘true story’ on the border patrol horses, as the ridiculous horse whip lie has been pushed around by various media outlets and Radical Leftists.
CEO After Eden Pictures, Jaco Booyens, joins the show to discuss the horrific reality of child trafficking through the border, and why, ever since the 2010 hurricane in Haiti, have Haitians had a bitter pill with the United States and Bill Clinton administration, and have been waiting for their day for payback.
Once again, a Biden Administration policy is contributing to the destruction of America as we know it. The Southern border is hemorrhaging human beings, including unaccompanied minors. There is no other way to describe the chaos and confusion overwhelming Border Patrol, law enforcement, hospitals, and other facilities. Can this crisis be managed? And what then, in terms of the negative impact on our country? This is an ominous indication that Biden & Co. are doing it on purpose: using migrants as pawns, to advance an alarming agenda. Mike Slater investigates.
Healthy kids are not passing away from COVID. There are reports that pediatric COVID patients and hospitalizations have been grossly overcounted, yet Dr. Fauci continues to do his media rounds and lie about kids and COVID-19. Why is that? Could it be part of a scare tactic, and also because they are mandating vaccines for children? Mike Slater calls out Dr. Fauci’s credibility issues, as he shares his thoughts on the what he believes are the reasons behind Fauci’s scare tactics and over exaggerations.
In the 1960’s, John B. Calhoun built a mice utopia at the National Institute for Mental Health, to conduct an experiment on the effects of population density on behavior. This data would then be used as evidence as to what could happen in an overpopulated world. Well, the mice utopia actually ended up creating a harsh prediction for the future of humanity. On today’s show Mike Slater explains how Calhoun’s experiment applies to the current state of America’s culture, as well as the paradox of life without work or conflict.
