‘The Wake-Up Call for Americans’

by

Listen to “‘The Wake-Up Call for Americans'” on Spreaker.

As the coronavirus restriction ease faster in some places than others, stories are emerging of disturbing confrontations between police and the public.

In recent days, police in Texas brought out an MRAP and deployed a SWAT team after a bar owner defied the governor’s order to stay closed and recruited some armed citizens to help her. NYPD officers were filmed tackling social distancing violators to the sidewalk. Multiple parents have been arrested for playing with their kids in closed parks.

Rutherford Institute President John Whitehead says the lockdown orders and how they are being enforced ought to be a wake-up call for all Americans that our first, fourth, and fifth amendment rights.

Whitehead explain why he thinks we’re moving uncomfortably close to martial law in parts of the country and that heavy-handed police tactics are now used to stop people from doing anything the government doesn’t like, regardless of whether it’s constitutional.

Whitehead also details what role he believes police should be playing in our communities and what citizens can do to improve things.

Birx Slams WHO, 22 Million Lost Jobs, Governors Ignore Constitution

by

Listen to “Birx Slams WHO, 22 Million Lost Jobs, Governors Ignore Constitution” on Spreaker.

Jim starts this edition by blasting the World Health Organization for suggesting that alcohol consumption makes the coronavirus worse.  Then he and Greg applaud Dr. Birx for calling out the WHO and China for a deadly lack of transparency that cost the rest of the world valuable time in preparing for the virus. They also lament  the 22 million lost in the past four weeks and the lack of urgency in Congress to replenish funds for the Paycheck Protection Program – and discuss how to reopen the economy most responsibly. And they unload on New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy for admitting he never considered the Bill of Rights in having 15 people arrested for gathering at a synagogue in his state and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer for saying her severe restrictions are fine because it snowed in Michigan this week.

Virginia Dems Plan ERA Showdown

by

Listen to “Virginia Dems Plan ERA Showdown” on Spreaker.

Virginia Democrats will take control of the General Assembly next week.  And while their gun control agenda is receiving the vast majority of the media coverage, the Democrats are also planning to ratify the decades-old Equal Rights Amendment and claim that vote will officially add the amendment to the Constitution.

The Equal Rights Amendment, known as ERA, was approved by two-thirds majorities in the U.S. House and Senate in the 1970’s but failed to reach the threshold of 38 states within the ten-year window Congress permitted to ratify it.  Democrats believe they can can revive the effort while opponents say it officially died nearly 40 years ago.

What are the legal and political facts in this dispute?  And what would the ERA actually do?

Independent Women’s Forum Senior Political Analyst Inez Stepman says its states purpose of mandating equality between the sexes would be redundant since women enjoy the same rights as men.  ]

However, she says the ERA could be very dangerous by not only declaring men and women equal but essentially interchangeable.  And from separate public restrooms to men and women being eligible for the draft, Stepman says the impact could be far-reaching if supporters can overcome the political and legal hurdles.

“It could be an enormous legal change.  If their legal theories are accepted and they ratify the ERA, all kinds of laws today that Americans take for granted could be constitutionally infirm and struck down by the courts,” said Stepman.

Listen to the full podcast to learn what’s at stake in this debate and how the fight is likely to play out.

Should the Electoral College Survive?

by

Listen to “Should the Electoral College Survive?” on Spreaker.

Many Democrats are demanding a new system for electing our presidents.  The effort stems from Democrats losing two presidential elections within 16 years despite winning the popular vote.

But the Constitution says the president is selected through the Electoral College, a system that focuses on which candidates win each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia.

What did the founding fathers have in mind when they created the Electoral College?  Does it still serve it’s purpose centuries later? And why do advocates for determining winners through the popular vote believe their approach is more fair?

Radio America’s Alexandra Lavin speaks with both sides and explores the effort from some states to give the popular vote the final say without actually changing the Constitution.
