When did we stop trusting our neighbors and start needing a camera on every corner? Greg Boulden goes off script to unpack the quiet shift from a culture built on trust and personal responsibility to one built on surveillance and control: flock cameras, ID requirements, curfews, and the laws that keep piling up after every tragedy.

This isn't about guns or politics. It's about character, and whether we've forgotten how to build people who don't need walls around them.

The 2020 election placed conversations about the integrity of our democratic voting procedures in every home across America. During the November 3rd returns a clear picture began to be broadcast to the nation that Donald Trump was taking a decisive lead in early returns. Many went to bed assuming that the election would be called by the time they woke up on November 4th. In the overnight hours, news media began showing vote totals adding up for the presidential challenger, Joe Biden. Immediately, claims of election tampering and fraud began pouring in.

In the immediate aftermath, the Trump campaign team went looking for the evidence of massive voter fraud. By Wednesday afternoon, as the shock gripped the President and the nation, Alex Cannon picked up the phone and called Ken Block. Alex was a lawyer for the Trump campaign. Ken was an expert in voter data, a tech entrepreneur, a two-time candidate for Governor, and the founder of the centrist political party, who remained active in Rhode Island.

After careful consideration of Mr. Cannon’s request to work to find voter fraud evidence, Ken agreed to work for the campaign to research. The deadlines were tight, with most states certifying the election by the first week of December.

In Ken Block’s new book, “Disproven,” he documents the email requests and daily challenges to get to the bottom of the fraud claims to help court cases. Each chapter of his book is a study of how the story of fraud came to be, what the data states, and a conclusion of whether the claim was legitimate for the courts.

In the end, Ken concludes that he could not prove voter fraud with any certifiable evidence that would have changed the election outcome. However, he uncovers and presents major issues in the systems used to record the will of the nation. He joins America Emboldened to discuss his findings and what he would propose could begin to reform our elections in the future.

Jake Angeli became known for his shirtless image with tattoos, horns, and fur, with a spear-carrying the American flag and a bullhorn on January 6th. The media made him the image associated with the protest and ensuing riot at the Capital. After he was convicted with a plea deal for obstruction of business in the Capital, he served time in jail. He was released earlier this year.

On the show today, we discuss what led up to his participation in the protest and whether he would do things differently if he could go back in time. We discussed what he saw from his perspective and whether he felt the riot portion was planned for political gain. During the interview, we asked about why he was with Nancy Pelosi’s son-in-law at the Capital taking a selfie and whether he was aware he was with a Scientology leader tied to Children’s Health Defense, which is RFK Jr.

Jake is running for Arizona’s 8th district in Maricopa County for Congress. He now identifies as a Libertarian on the ballot. We discuss whether he believes the elections are fair and his chances in 2024.

Archived May 2024 - Do you ever want to “take the red pill” and see the world anew? My guest today wrote an epic book that will take you through critical thinking in a digestible and friendly manner. Author Feargus O’Connor Greenwood presents a tome of information that I refer to as the bible for skeptics and critical thinkers. 180 Degrees: Unlearn the Lies You’ve Been Taught to Believe is one of the most important books assembled in the modern error of information gathering.

If you sense something is not quite right in the world, or you notice that society seems to be inverted over your lifetime, this book dives into the cause and gives a plan of action. I purchased the book several months ago and began my own journey. I found myself at odds with several early chapters before settling into the content. Throughout the book, Mr. O’Connor Greenwood covers many topics that should be familiar to my audience. However, his ability to dive deeper into the resources is the selling point of the information presented.

As I began each new chapter, I became interested in what sources he cited and provided QR codes for me to learn more. Each new chapter became a personal journey for me to explore, process, and rationalize.

A few months ago, I reached out and invited Feargus to join the show. I’m honored that he took me up on the offer and enjoyed our almost two-hour conversation. Today, I present the first hour of our conversation. I’m certain you will be as interested as the thousands who have read his book already, and I hope I was able to provide further details in my interview for you to process.

This one is from July 13th, 2024. I sat down and talked football (Soccer in America) with Guillermo Hamdan Zaragoza

Guillermo has gone on to continued success since this interview. He has been Head of Performance at Aletico Nacional (won double titles) in Colombia following our talk here. Then the same position with Pumas UNAM (finished in first place during the regular season) in Liga MX, Mexico, and now over in Hungary with ETO FC Gyor.

For those that want insight into the life of a Football Executive and proven pro, Guillermo is a great listen!

In this episode, Greg Boulden steps outside partisan politics to examine the economic realities facing American families. Rising grocery bills, housing costs, gasoline prices, mounting debt, and stagnant purchasing power have left millions asking the same question: How much longer can this continue?

Using government economic data as a starting point, Greg explores how inflation, government spending, energy policy, immigration, housing, and long-term fiscal decisions have shaped today's economy. Rather than assigning blame to one political party, he challenges listeners to look beyond campaign slogans and demand measurable solutions from those seeking public office.

This conversation isn't about Democrats versus Republicans. It's about whether America can restore affordability, opportunity, and the promise that hard work should still lead to a better future.

If voters want different results, Greg argues, they must start asking different questions.

Be Bold.

Farrell holds a Ph.D. in Patristics from the University of Oxford and is the author of numerous books examining hidden history, alternative science, theology, geopolitics, finance, and advanced technologies. His work challenges conventional narratives and encourages deeper investigation into the forces shaping our world.

Chris Michaels and Greg Boulden sit down with returning guest Dr. Joseph P. Farrell to examine the geopolitical, financial, and theological implications of escalating tensions involving Iran, Israel, Russia, China, and the United States.

The discussion explores the timing of recent military actions, the broader impact on BRICS nations, and the possibility that global conflict may be tied to a restructuring of the international financial system, including central bank digital currencies, sovereign wealth funds, and the tokenization of assets. Dr. Farrell outlines a theory that current events are not isolated incidents but part of a longer strategic arc involving reserve currency status, global banking influence, and competing economic blocs.

The conversation also dives into:

• The legacy of the Federalists and Anti Federalists and the constitutional tensions still playing out today
• Free speech, anti Semitism definitions, and First Amendment concerns
• The influence of NGOs, multinational corporations, and non state actors
• The cultural and religious divides shaping modern politics
• Historical parallels to World War I, Woodrow Wilson, and centralized economic control
