In this week's episode, we’re not just asking if America is still a republic—we’re saying with confidence: It’s not. And at this point, we’re not even sure it qualifies as a functioning democracy. In this episode, we dive into how we got here: a population sedated by Big Pharma, misled by a crumbling education system, and distracted by a nonstop stream of "bread and circuses." With only 1% of adults politically active, it’s no wonder tyranny has taken root. But we also explore the way forward—and it starts with the individual. Restoring the republic begins with informed choices, personal responsibility, and a willingness to engage.

In the wake of Resurrection Sunday, we’re joined by Sheriff Richard Mack to explore the growing spiritual awakening happening across the country. Together, we dive into how the erosion of biblical values has led to a decline in morality among our government leaders—and how that spiritual void is directly tied to the corruption we see today.

Sheriff Mack shares his insights on the vital role local law enforcement—especially sheriffs—can play in defending the Constitution and upholding liberty. We discuss how We the People are not powerless, and why now is the time to rise, get informed, and take back control of our communities.

This coming weekend is the 250th anniversary of "The Shot Heard Round The World." The start of the American Revolution. We are taking this time on this week's episode to commemorate those brave men and women who stood so bravely, so defiantly 250 years ago on the Lexington green.

Their courage bought us the freedom we have today- the same freedom we all too often, take for granted. Through the episode, we recount the stories of how it all began and we ask the question - "Do we even know such freedom?"
