The Anti-Federalists knew exactly where it would lead - unchecked power, endless taxes, and the death of the republic - and of liberty.

“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” Jefferson didn’t just say it - he meant it, even when he opposed the cause. Because the principle was bigger than the moment: resistance is what keeps government in check. This episode makes the case with hard truth from Jefferson, Spooner, Adams, Locke, and more - showing that liberty survives through backbone, not permission.

The Founders warned us. We ignored them. These eight enemies aren't at the gates - they’re already inside, destroying the Constitution and liberty - from within.

Five constitutional truths they almost never teach. Because if they did, we wouldn’t live under the largest government in history.

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? Consolidate power, crush liberty, and the rest is history. And now, it's our turn. This episode is a warning for the ages about the story of empires. Because liberty must die for empires to thrive.

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. And when he became president, he followed that rule to the letter - not once, but twice - in the heat of war. In this episode: the father of the Constitution vs the modern myth of unilateral executive war power.

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 they learned from saw it over and over again: no matter the system, no matter the laws, once the people decay, tyranny follows. Guaranteed. And today, we’re on that same path - not because we’re being forced, but because we’ve chosen it. This episode is about the one corruption no constitution can fix: the corruption of the people themselves.

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 document: the Virginia Declaration of Rights - where power comes from, why governments exist, and what the people have the right to do when it all goes off the rails.
