Two Modest Proposals for a Better America
In 1729 Jonathan Swift wrote 'A Modest Proposal,' which many consider to be the finest work of satire ever created. While never intended to be taken at face value, it nevertheless brought a contemporary issue into sharp moral focus. In this Independence Week episode, Bill has TWO Modest Proposals for making a better country. One of them, at least, deserves serious consideration.
Friends, this is the week we celebrate our beloved country's Independence from totalitarianism, and today, more than ever we need your help in keeping this message alive and independent from creeping totalitarianism as well.

Was the American Revolution Necessary?
Great Britain settled four major, english speaking colonies around the world: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. The coins of the first three, to this day, continue to bear the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II (new issues will feature Charles III). Why was America different? If George III had not been so prideful, was there ever a chance that the USA would still be a member of the British Commonwealth?

Capitalism
When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence he made quite a splash when he defined our unalienable rights as "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness;" prior to that day in 1776, the phrase in common usage was 'life, liberty and PROPERTY.' In this episode of We The People V2.0, Bill shows how Capitalism is nothing more nor less than simple economic freedom. Happy Independence Day, everybody!

What About the 'Cis Lesbians?'
The essential component to the Marxist strategy known as Critical Theory is the idea that while all manufactured grievance groups must attack the conservative middle, they must NEVER attack EACH OTHER. But now the Civil War between the LGB vs. TQ+ deepens significantly. Turns out that gay people don't like being designated as 'cis' either. The difference between pushback from that community and the straight one is that they have high victimhood status. This is why the Progressive 'philosophy' is ultimately doomed: THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE TOP VICTIM and the competition for that coveted title grows ever more fierce.

Horrible People
There is an old church building in Manhattan. The congregation can no longer afford its upkeep, so they agreed to sell it for $30 million, which thy planned to use for feeding the homeless and other worthy charitable aims. But actor Mark Ruffalo, 'comedian' Amy Schumer, and other rich and powerful celebrities, ONCE REHEARSED THERE and so have blocked the sale of the property in court. These multimillionaires could have simply BOUGHT th property of course -- problem solved! -- but instead went to court and also started a crowdfunding campaign so that OTHER PEOPLE could pay to keep their cherished space intact. Ruffalo, so deeply moved by the issue, contributed an entire ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS while meanwhile, the court deprives the property owners of the right to sell and the homeless in New York City go hungrier.

Abdication
The setbacks continue. Things don't get any easier. And the only way to defeat the river of entropy is to swim upstream as hard as you can for as long as you can. That's the deal. That's Life on Earth. And to walk away from that reality is a form of ABDICATION.

Say Goodbye to the Crappy Little Ships
In the early 2000's the Littoral Combat Ship looked like the future for the US Navy: small, relatively inexpensive, and designed for 'brown-water' operations close to shore. But it soon became ever more apparent that the LCS was not able to survive in the modern naval environment, and so in the face of a growing Chinese navy the USN has decided to retire some three dozen of what many of their crews referred to as the Little Crappy Ships. Their replacement, while little, does not seem to be very crappy at all.

A Forlorn Hope
We recorded this on Tuesday morning, and by the time you see this even the remotest chance of rescue will have passed, and the five people aboard the Titan lost. Scott asks a critical question, namely: what can or should be expected of us when it comes to rescuing five strangers who knew full well that this was a very dangerous dive?

An Inconvenient Truth: 24-1
The US Women's Soccer Team actually sued over the pay gap between themselves and the US male team; this case was thrown out of court for the obvious reason that the men brought in vastly more revenue. Despite this setback, they brought enough political pressure to ensure that the women ended up receiving the same paychecks as the men. It's possible this lead them to believe they were as good as the men, because the US Women's team entered a smallish tournament against male players and the result, after three games, was Males 24, Females 1. Awkward.

Meet the Beatles... Again
We've done a number of shows about the danger of AI -- mostly 'hard,' or self-aware AI. However, like fire, Artificial Intelligence, makes a terrible master but a useful servant. Case in point: a recently-discovered, barely-audible song that John Lennon recorded directly into a hand-held cassette player before his death in 1980 has been processed by an artificial intelligence algorithm that was 'trained' to replicate Lennon's voice, turning a barely-audible mess into a studio-quality track. Now, 23 years after their last group recording, The Beatles are about to release a new song!

Life, Death and Arnold
What, do you suppose, is the one thing that the seemingly fearless, unemotional killing machine known as The Terminator is secretly terrified of? The Terminator is terrified of being terminated. Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has called anyone who believes in an afterlife a LIAR, and has confessed to his own mortal fear of his own mortality. Alfonzo Rachel and Bill Whittle give serious thought to the topic of Life, Death and Arnold.

Governance
What do the Canadian wildfires and the second Trump indictment have in common? Both are the product of stupid, venal, incompetent elitist idiots who are elected but who do not GOVERN.

You Must Have Three Children!
In 1980 the Chinese Communist Party announced their draconian One Child mandate. In 2016, they made that a Two Child mandate and now Uncle Xi wants Chinese women to have at least three children. Did China just over-correct their population bomb, or are they looking at a manpower shortage two decades from now?

All About the iFace
As Steve says in his intro, it's a COMPUTER that you wear on your FACE! Its official name is the Apple Vision Pro, and it it $3,500 of immersion in the virtual world. Did you ever find yourself white-water rafting and think, 'Boy, I sure wish I could work on my Powerpoint presentation right now!' then this is the device for you. It comes complete with an artificial projection OF YOUR OWN EYES so can can barely even tell that you are wearing one! Is it cool or creepy?

CPR: Yes or No?
CPR saves lives. That's the good news. The bad news is that the percentage of lives saved is much smaller than most people think, and there are times when real thought should be given as to whether to apply CPR or not. Scott brings the story, along with a heart-rending personal experience of CPR being applied to a loved one which, tragically, SUCCEEDED.

Revolutions Always Eat Their Own*
There is a kind of cosmic justice at work when the people that are the quickest to cancel anyone who disagrees with them ends up getting cancelled themselves. It has always been the way of revolutions to devour it's own revolutionaries.*

Undebatable
Steve brings us the story of the 'personal preferences' of certain debate judges. Speak the words, "Illegal Alien" -- automatic loss! Defend capitalism, freedom, private property or America -- automatic loss! The really disturbing thing is not what their preferences are... it's the fact that they have 'preferences' at all.

Better Late Than Never
Good news on this Memorial Day; news that to Bill's mind is long overdue. Some 160 retired Flag Officers serving in the US Armed Forces -- that would be generals and admirals -- signed a letter, addressed to Congress, demanding the IMMEDIATE removal of all DEI -- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion -- from the US military. And it's about time, and past time, we heard from these officers. Will Congress follow through?

Viva la Vandalism!
Bill, Steve and Scott -- three law and order, straight shooters -- find themselves in various levels of agreement with repeated acts of outright vandalism. At a school in Oregon, administrators had installed a tampon dispenser in the boys bathroom. So they ripped it off the wall, and it looks like this cycle is repeating. Should we tolerate this, ignore it, or celebrate it? Because if one thing is certain, the Progressives who put it there are immune to concepts like 'truth' and 'reason.'

Fighting Back
Donald Trump was back in fighting trim when he appeared on a CNN Town Hall special: funny, disciplined and prepared, he ate CNN for lunch to the degree that PROGRESSIVES are calling to boycott CNN. Can he maintain this winning brand of optimistic playfulness? And could Ronald Reagan -- who was the all-time master of it -- be able to pull it off in todays much more toxic environment?

Taking Aim at the Middle Class
It's a dark day when one finally comes to realize that all of the dysfunction in states like California, and Democrat-run cities like... ALL of them... is not stupidity and it's not an accident. The Progressive strategy is to make life unbearable for the Middle Class, that great moral, cultural and economic cushion that has so far stopped the ambitions of the Haves against the Have Nots.
