The Daily Signal - Sebastian Gorka on Fighting Back Against Radical Left
"The left is weak. It may not feel like that when you're being censored on Facebook... but those actions actually evince weakness. When you have to censor people, it means they're afraid," says Seb Gorka, host of "America First" on the Salem Radio Network and the author of "The War for America's Soul."
"We have a republic to save. And guess what? With you, we can do it."
Gorka joins the Daily Signal podcast to discuss how the radical left is trying to destroy the country, and how conservatives can effectively fight back.
We are also joined by Morgan Zegers, founder and CEO of Young Americans Against Socialism. She discuss why socialism is so popular amongst young people, and what can be done to push back against its rising popularity.
We also discuss these stories:
- The US Capitol Police have been ordered to arrest visitors and Congressional staff who refuse to wear a mask on Capitol grounds.
- The Biden Administration will not renew a federal moratorium on evicting people who have fallen behind on their rent payments due to COVID-19, but is asking Congress to extend the moratorium.
- The Senate votes Wednesday evening to move forward with a trillion dollar infrastructure deal.
- Over two hundred Republican lawmakers are asking the Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade

The Daily Signal - Hero at Las Vegas Shooting on Mission to Protect Second Amendment
On October 1, 2017, a lone gunman opened fire into the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas. The incident remains the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
But out of this tragedy comes a story of true heroism. When Iraq War veteran Taylor Winston heard the first shots, he sprang into action. He grabbed a truck and began to shuttle wounded concert attendees back and forth from the scene to a nearby hospital. Winston's quick thinking saved countless lives.
Many mass shooting survivors advocate for stronger gun control, but Winston's experience solidified his belief in the 2nd Amendment.
"I never ever want to have anyone experience [a mass shooting], but I would go through it again and again, and again, to protect our gun rights because it protects us from something far worse and bigger, and that's a potential tyrannical government committing genocide," says Winston.
Winston joins this bonus episode of the Daily Signal Podcast to discuss his act of heroism, as well as why it's so important to protect our 2nd Amendment rights.
We are also joined by Jordan Sarmo, a faith-based musician and host of the Speak the Truth Without Fear podcast. We talk about cancel culture and how we can best fight back.

Opening Arguments - OA512: Actions Continue to Have Consequences!
Today's episode updates two separate lawsuits related to the 1/6 insurrection: Rep. Eric Swalwell's suit against Trump, Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks and the ongoing drama surrounding sanctions for the Kraken lawyers in King v. Whitmer, the Michigan lawsuit that exposed just how nonsensical all of the Kraken election lawsuits were.
In the first segment, we learn that neither Merrick Garland's Department of Justice nor counsel for the House of Representatives believe that "inciting insurrection" is within the scope of your employment if you're a member of the House of Representatives, so... Mo Brooks is on his own on this one. This is all about the Westfall Act, which we last discussed in Episode 498.
In the main segment, we check back in now that all the supplemental briefs have been filed after the mammoth 6-hour Michigan sanctions hearing. Learn who had the worst filing (hint: someone did worse than Lin Wood!), who had the... least worst?... and what is in store for all of the Kraken lawyers! BONUS: We've attached the complete six-hour hearing transcript.
Links:
- Swalwell v. Trump: (a) docket report; (b) Swalwell's opposition to Brooks's Westfall Act motion; (c) decision of House counsel to decline to represent Brooks; and (d) DOJ's decision to decline to represent Brooks. We last discussed the Westfall Act in Episode 498.
- King v. Whitmer transcript of the sanctions hearing.
- Lin Wood's (a) brief 1 and brief 2; and (b) prior inconsistent brief in the Delaware Supreme Court admitting he represented plaintiffs in Michigan.
- Donald Campbell's brief on behalf of Sidney Powell, Howard Kleinhendler, and the rest of the Kraken idiots.
- Hoo boy, the brief filed by Stefanie Lambert Junttila on her own behalf... maybe don't represent yourself, Stef? And just because Stef didn't read it doesn't mean you shouldn't read Mezibov v. Allen, 411 F.3d 712 (6th Cir. 2005).
- The City of Detroit's (a) Safe Harbor letter and attached motion; and (b) supplemental brief (that's fire)!
- Remember all of this is about Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
- Finally, if you search the transcript you'll see Howard Kleinhendler make the "fraud vitiates everything" argument, for which David Fink rightly skewers him in the City of Detroit's supplemental brief. Check out more on this stupid argument here.

Consider This from NPR - Black Olympians Often Have ‘The Weight Of The World’ On Their Shoulders
When Simone Biles dropped out of her Olympic competitions this week, the whole world took notice. At 24 years old Biles is the most decorated gymnast ever, she's won 36 medals—27 of those are gold. And she said via Instagram that it can feel like she "has the weight of the world," on her shoulders at times.
When an athlete performs on a stage as hallowed and renowned as the Olympics, it's not surprising to see that this can have a negative psychological effect. University of Denver professor Mark Aoyagi explains that in many ways, elite competitions are inherently unhealthy.
The stress can be even more acute for Black athletes like Biles. Sociologist Harry Edwards wrote about this over 50 years ago and says these young Olympians are forced to deal with both the aspiration and fear of "Black excellence."
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
