327 – Showdown at the EPA Corral

Did you ever imagine that a question about air pollution could end up changing the way governments work? That may be exactly what happened with the Supreme Court’s opinion in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency.

Does that sound like infringement on your right to keep and bear arms to you?

This year, I want to look at this new evidence to show you just how fast the American people are rushing toward servitude. I also want to take a closer look how We the People can regain control of our governments, restore our freedom, liberty, and rights, and once again show that tyrants are unfit to govern a free people.
