Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Michael Boldin covers current events, the original constitution and strategy - all with an eye on advancing liberty.
Every empire follows the same script, but this isn’t the version you’re used to. It’s not about overextension, debt, or even manipulating the money – those are all symptoms. The real disease? Consoli…
There is no situation – ever – where the President can unilaterally take the United States to war. No emergency. No exception. No loophole. James Madison made this absolutely clear, again and again. …
Benjamin Franklin warned, “This can only end in despotism.” He knew that when the people themselves become corrupt, liberty doesn’t stand a chance. He wasn’t alone – founders and the great thinkers t…
On June 12, 1776, Virginia made rebellion law. They didn’t ask for permission – they said take it, whether government likes it or not. In this episode, we’re digging into a forgotten founding documen…

In 1794, John Taylor of Caroline launched a direct assault on Alexander Hamilton’s entire financial regime – the national bank, the debt, the funding system, the whole machine. He called it a “politi…
From ancient empires to modern regimes, the story never changes: every government knows nothing expands power faster than fear. Fear is the tool, the trigger, the weapon – and it’s always the excuse …
The biggest crimes against liberty aren’t committed in the shadows – they happen in broad daylight, all dressed up as “law,” “justice,” and the “public good.” When the law itself becomes a weapon, no…
The first step to tyranny is always the same: silence your opposition. Once they take your voice, everything else comes easy. That’s exactly what the British Empire did throughout the American Revolu…
It wasn’t about tea. It was about power – the principle that Parliament could tax the colonies without consent. Even a “trifling sum” meant surrender. The Tea Act was a trap, a test of obedience. And…
WHO ARE A FREE PEOPLE? Freedom doesn’t come from good intentions or survival by luck – it depends on a government so tightly checked that any unconstitutional step meets instant resistance. Not later…
Going from the largest government in history to a real land of the free won’t be quick or easy. The Founders and old Revolutionaries told us the truth: there is no silver bullet. Liberty demands effo…
Politics is the science of fraud – and politicians are its professors. Richard Henry Lee wasn’t warning about a few bad apples; he was calling out the entire system. In this episode, learn about thre…
