      Our actions, no matter how small, can make a significant impact on people's lives. The discussion highlighted the importance of supporting organizations like Preborn, which saves 200 babies from abortion every day by helping mothers hear their babies' heartbeats. Meanwhile, technology like HealthLock can help individuals save money on healthcare costs by identifying errors and fraud in medical bills. Senator Ted Cruz's amicus brief, signed by over 170 lawmakers, is an important step towards defending democracy and allowing voters to choose who they want on the ballot. It's crucial to stay informed and get involved in issues that matter to us, whether it's saving lives, saving money, or protecting our democratic processes.

    • Congress Members File Amicus Brief in Support of Trump's Ballot AccessA group of 179 Congress members argue that only Congress has the power to remove a disability under the 14th Amendment and that removing Trump from the ballot denies this power. They also claim the Colorado Supreme Court's decision lacks neutral principles and could lead to debaloting of political opponents.

      A group of 179 members of Congress, led by Representative Jim Jordan, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court arguing against the removal of former President Donald Trump from the ballot in Colorado based on the 14th Amendment. They argue that only Congress has the power to remove a disability under Section 3 of the amendment, and that removing Trump from the ballot would deny Congress this power. They also argue that the question of whether Section 3 applies to Trump is a political question, and that the Colorado Supreme Court's decision lacks neutral principles and could lead to widespread debaloting of political opponents. The brief was drafted quickly and signed on to by a large number of lawmakers, emphasizing the importance of this case as a defense of democracy.

    • Congressional Coalition Files Amicus Brief for Christian Conservative Wireless ProviderA bipartisan group of 179 Congress members filed an amicus brief for Patriot Mobile, a wireless provider aligned with Christian conservative values, highlighting the importance of free speech, religious freedom, and other issues for this organization.

      A large coalition of 179 members of Congress came together to file an amicus brief in a matter of days, supporting a Christian conservative wireless provider named Patriot Mobile. This is an unusual occurrence and highlights the importance of the issues at stake for this organization, which includes support for free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the Second Amendment, among others. The Supreme Court considers all amicus briefs filed in a case, and in this instance, the court will review the brief submitted by Patriot Mobile and the responses from the parties involved. By choosing to support Patriot Mobile, consumers can align their phone usage with their values, rather than funding causes they disagree with. The ease of switching providers, with the ability to keep one's existing phone and number, adds to the appeal.

This level of support from both houses of Congress is a testament to the urgency and importance of the issue at hand. The speaker shares his personal experiences, including getting all 50 states on board for a similar case two decades ago, and emphasizes the importance of personal advocacy in achieving such results. Furthermore, the speaker encourages listeners to donate to Preborn, an organization that helps rescue babies from abortion, emphasizing the importance of every life and the impact a small donation can have.

This highlights the importance of being vigilant about protecting personal information and understanding the potential misuse of government power.

    • Biden Administration's Treasury Department Requests Customer Data from BanksThe Biden administration's Treasury Department is requesting customer information from banks, raising privacy concerns. Individuals should be cautious about their financial transactions and consider potential implications for privacy.

      The Biden administration's Treasury Department has been requesting customer information from banks, raising privacy concerns. This information includes transactions made at specific retailers, such as Bass Pro Shops, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Cabela's. The banks, being heavily regulated, have complied with these requests out of fear of federal reprisals. This incident highlights the vulnerability of banks as a source of personal financial data. The left, including the Biden administration and figures like Elizabeth Warren, have expressed interest in knowing detailed financial information. While Congress can conduct oversight, the lack of bipartisan support in the Senate means that passing legislation to stop these searches is unlikely. As a result, individuals may want to be cautious about the financial transactions they make and consider the potential implications for their privacy.

      The Biden administration and Democrats, including Hunter Biden, have been accused of deceiving the American people regarding the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop. This admission comes from the Biden Department of Justice, who obtained evidence from the laptop during an investigation into Hunter Biden's tax violations in 2019. Despite knowing the laptop was real, they, along with other Democrats and corporate media outlets, publicly labeled the laptop as Russian misinformation to influence the 2020 presidential election. This admission raises serious concerns about transparency and trust in government and political institutions. Conservatives argue that this is an election year issue that will resonate with voters who feel their privacy and freedoms are being violated. Additionally, there is good news for homeowners as interest rates have dropped, providing an opportunity to pay off high-interest debt.

      During the 2020 presidential campaign, several corporate media outlets and high-ranking officials, including then-candidate Joe Biden, spread false information about Hunter Biden's laptop and alleged Russian involvement. Despite evidence to the contrary, these individuals and organizations continued to assert that the stories were Russian disinformation. The FBI and DOJ were also aware of the truth but allowed the lies to persist, damaging public trust in these institutions. The recent admission by the Biden DOJ that the initial claims were lies highlights the need for accountability and truthfulness in political discourse. The incident underscores the importance of fact-checking and questioning the sources of information.

This revelation adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that Joe Biden's claims about his family's business dealings have been dishonest. The media's role in enabling these lies has been significant, with CNN's Jake Tapper being called out for his failure to hold the administration accountable.
