American police agencies across the nation are hemorrhaging experienced officers as the number of those showing interest in becoming cops is dwindling. Is this crisis because of the outdated and ineffective recruitment strategies being employed by law enforcement agencies themselves? Major Travis Yates (Ret), a law enforcement veteran leader and nationally known trainer, believes so. In this stunning interview with Show Host Randy Sutton, Yates lays out in detail the past and present recruiting strategies and how new innovations can resolve the crisis. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm ET on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

The National Rifle Association has become a lightning rod for all of the anti-gun groups and politicians in the country. The NRA claims that Ms. Vullo, then Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services, targeted them because of their advocacy for gun rights, thereby violating their First Amendment Rights. When does government encouragement become coercion? By targeting a specific organization, Ms. Vullo has deprived the NRA, its members, the insurance companies, and the banks, the liberty to do business not as a punishment for the crimes the NRA committed, but because of the industry they are in. Also, by targeting both the NRA and other members of the gun industry, Ms. Vullo has unequally applied the laws of the State of New York. How the Supreme Court decides this case should be interesting...

Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm ET on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

Today, we see governments at all levels infringing on our right to keep and bear arms. Look at the arguments they use. “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” — Beto O’Rourke “I don’t believe people should be able to own guns.” — Barack Obama “If I could have gotten…an outright ban – ‘Mr. and Mrs. America turn in your guns’ – I would have!” — Senator Diane Feinstein “We’re bending the law as far as we can to ban an entirely new class of guns.” — Rahm Emanuel “If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.” — President Bill Clinton We hear claims that citizens should not be allowed to own weapons of war, yet this battle is a perfect example of why we need them.

Like most social media and mobile applications, TikTok is a data vacuum. Though TikTok is one of the worst abusers of its user’s trust, it’s by no means alone. So why has this particular social media company drawn such bipartisan ire from the members of Congress? TikTok has been shown to be spyware, but that’s true for just about every app on your phone and website you visit. There have been reports of the TikTok app listening on your microphone, watching via your camera, tracking your location, and reading every keystroke you type. That makes TikTok one of the worst spyware apps on the market, right up there with Google’s Android Operating System, Chrome browser, Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Maps. Not only would it not be effective in preventing foreign governments from spying on the American people, but it completely ignores the spying that other applications have been doing for decades. With all of the media's focus on this bill, does anyone else wonder why all of the other apps vacuuming up and selling our data have been ignored?

Dr. Olivia Johnson is the founder of The Blue Wall Institute, an organization dedicated to the study of and prevention of law enforcement suicide. Given the stressors that American law enforcement officers face each and every day have led to the suicide rate, that in all reality is a mystery. The Blue Wall Institute is trying to change the knowledge base in order to prevent police officers from committing suicide. In this truly revealing interview with show host Randy Sutton, Dr. Johnson reveals what she has termed “The Fatal Ten” factors that enter into the equation of why officers have committed this irreversible act. Period. The shocking truth behind this devastating trend is a wake-up call to the entire law enforcement community. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm ET on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

Congress is considering legislation called “The Preventing Private Paramilitary Act of 2024”. It should be called the “Disarming the Militia Act,” but that is exactly what this legislation would do. Apparently not happy with how recent attempts to disarm law-abiding citizens, they’re now afraid that the American people might be prepared to defend themselves, even against Congress. Have these members of Congress forgotten that our war of independence was started by an attempt by the British governor of Massachusetts to disarm the people? That the the battles of Lexington and Concord were fought by private citizens who formed a militia? Or could it be that they just don’t care about our rights and the Constitution and are just looking for another way to subjugate the American people? I can see only one logical reason for this type of legislation. Similar to the orders to destroy the firearms and ammunition of the colonists, this legislation is meant to leave the American people unarmed, untrained, and unprepared to act as a free people. This leaves them dependent on the government for their own safety and makes them subject to the government’s will.This bill should be called “Preparing to Enslave the American People Act.”

When the states ratified the Sixteenth Amendment, they did more than just help the feds collect income taxes;they fundamentally changed the republic for the worse. In 1787, when the Constitution was drafted and ratified, the framers of this country understood the need to collect taxes. So they delegated the power to tax to Congress, but with some very specific restrictions. The income tax didn’t start with the 16th amendment; it started in 1862 to fund the Civil War. Since it was a consistent revenue stream, the income tax was sold to the people with a warning that it was necessary, the promise that it would be limited by a person’s income, and was scheduled to expire in 1870. However, that did not make it constitutional. Most likely due to the urgencies of the war, though, this tax was never challenged in court. The constitutional republic created by the Framers saw not only that the power was vested in the people, but that it would remain as close to them as possible. That is why the United States was given limited and enumerated power. When the states ratified the Sixteenth Amendment, they fractured that most fundamental aspect of self-government in America.

Every day, law enforcement officers literally put their lives on the line to protect and serve their communities. The toll in terms of deaths and injuries runs in the thousands. Each day throughout this nation, countless acts of valor, heroism and compassion are performed by our police. Until several years ago, there was little on the national level to recognize men and women in uniform who have performed in ways that needed national recognition. Adam Davenport and Megan Stockberger recognized this need and cofounded the National Law Enforcement Officers Hall of Fame. Hear the story of this amazing organization in this week's episode of The Wounded Blue Hour. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm ET on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

Dan Murphy spent 20 years with the New York City Police Department, investigating everything from robberies to terrorism. But his lifetime of service didn’t end there. He continued to investigate criminality in the private sector, but his love of policing kept drawing him back to different roles. He is now the cohost of the very popular law enforcement podcast Gold Shields, along with his partner, Tom Smith, also an NYPD veteran. Knowing how the safety of police officers across the country has been challenged, they have created a brand new product that can essentially replace pepper spray and other chemical sprays, making it safer for the offenders and the police. Listen to his journey with show host Randy Sutton in this episode of The Wounded Blue Hour. Lt.

Every four years, the United States goes through the ritual of electing a President. I use the term ritual for two reasons. First, most Americans’ understanding of the election process is based on customs or rites rather than the law. Second, most of the customs Americans follow directly contradict the actual process of electing a President of the United States. If I could go back in time and explain to those visiting teammates how our presidential elections work, I would focus on three points. 1- The political parties choose their candidates through a combination of primaries, caucuses, and internal negotiations. 2 - The states elect the President based on the advice of their citizens. 3 - The vast majority of the American people are unaware of points 1 and 2.

Jon Becker wears many hats. He is a lawyer and an entrepreneur whose passion for law-enforcement tactical teams led him to create a successful national tactical equipment brand known as Aardvark Tactical. He is also the creator of the popular law enforcement podcast, “The Debrief.” But John doesn’t just sell tactical equipment. He lives a tactical lifestyle, working with teams from both military and law enforcement across the nation. Through the years of engaging with America's law enforcement warriors, he’s developed tremendous insight into the emotional and mental challenges facing American law enforcement, and it has led him to the conclusion that “leadership“ is failing our police.

Are mask mandates constitutional? Is refusing to wear a mask a violation of the law or the expression of it? A recent pair of Third Circuit Court of Appeals court cases asked that very question. On March 9, 2020, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency in response to the quickly spreading coronavirus known as COVID-19. … As we now know, it primarily spreads through airborne particles that accumulate in enclosed spaces, respiratory droplets produced when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks, and occasionally through contact with objects contaminated with the virus. Blanket mandates, such as those used by the State of New Jersey, violate due process because they do not safeguard the rights of the individual. There is no requirement for someone to be shown to have COVID-19 nor that they are contagious before their liberty is infringed. As shown earlier in this article, the assumptions that supported the mask mandates were not based on rigorous scientific studies but unsubstantiated statements from government agencies that do not legally exist.

In 2014, police officer Scott Brown of the Sacramento Police Department lived the nightmare that every cop fears, the murder of his partner. A three-time deported felon shot and killed Scott’s partner, Deputy Danny Oliver, during a shoot-out. Scott shot the suspect, but he escaped long enough to kill another police officer and wounded a third and also a civilian. Scott and his wife, Liz, recount the trauma and aftermath in the book “Facing Evil.” Hear their story in this dramatic interview with show host Randy Sutton. Lt.

While this year’s presidential primaries are pretty much a fait accompli, there are still hundreds, if not thousands, of primary elections that will be held over the next few months. In some cases, the race is so partisan that the primary effectively decides the race, and the general election is moot. What’s the purpose of these taxpayer-funded private elections? Why limit your choices on election day? Why do we keep paying for someone else to take away our choices? Shouldn’t We the People be the deciders of who we can vote for rather than the political parties? Don’t we denigrate countries like Iran and Venezuela, where political actors limit the choices on the ballot? I’m not naive enough to think such a change could happen in the current spirit of revenge between our two largest political parties. For everyone who wished for a chance to vote for a third-party candidate, though, shouldn’t we be working to make it more possible...

In 2012, Lieutenant Brian Murphy of the Oak Creek Wisconsin police department was the first responding officer at what is now known as the Sikh Temple Massacre, which left six dead and three injured. The white supremacist killer targeted members of the Sikh temple to kill, and had it not been for the arrival of Lieutenant Murphy, many more would have died. The suspect ambushed Lieutenant Murphy and pumped 15 rounds into the officer, causing devastating injuries. Incredibly, Lieutenant Murphy not only survived but found a new purpose in telling his incredible story of survival against all odds in this riveting interview with show host Randy Sutton. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm ET on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

Why is it that those in government feel entitled to regulate just about every aspect of your life? The federal government claims the power to regulate what you eat, what medications you can use, and even the lightbulbs in your home. After a recent court case, though, it seems one of those agencies may have bitten off more than it can chew. The courts failure to consider the constitutionality of the Department of Energy leaves the American people with the false belief that the Department of Energy is legitimate and that its regulations have the force of law. This is in spite of previous court decisions to the contrary.

Can nutrition be the key to unlocking the brain issues involving Post Traumatic Stress and depression as well as compulsive negative behaviors? Dr. Gemi Bertran, founder and CEO of Nourish the Brain (https://nourishthebraininstitute.com/), believes so. This compelling interview with show host Randy Sutton presents an amazing case to back those beliefs. Dr. Bertran faced many challenges, including her own fight against trauma, both physical and psychological. Her request for knowledge led to her development of groundbreaking science. She now utilizes her research to help military and special forces, as well as law enforcement, deal with mental health challenges such as PTSD. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

Unless you’ve been hiding from everything political in the United States, you are aware that there are actors in several states that have sued in their state courts to disqualify Donald Trump from being on their states' primary election ballot for President of the United States. As of this writing, in only two states, Colorado and Maine, have those actors found some measure of success. While this case will undoubtedly find its way to the Supreme Court, this truly is a state issue, even though it has national importance. If we continue down this road, then insurrection will no longer be political hyperbole used to promote an agenda. It will lead to something much, much worse.

If you want to seek a redress of some grievance, most people start with a lawsuit. This is partially responsible for the fact that in 2023 there are 1.33 million attorneys in America and only 1.08 million doctors. What happens when people figure out how to use these lawsuits not just for a redress of grievance but to attack others? In this case - Acheson Hotels claims that Deborah Laufer filed a lawsuit against them not because she was harmed by their hotel but because she is an activist using the Americans with Disability Act to harass companies who do not advertise whether or not they have handicapped-accessible rooms. Ms. Laufer’s attacks not only harmed the companies she has sued but, by taking up time in the judicial system, may have prevented legitimate suits from being heard in a timely manner, if at all. Not only are the owners of these hotels having to bear the cost of litigation, but the sheer number of suits, combined with the obvious purpose of using them to enforce the law, may have enriched Ms. Laufer and her attorneys, but at the cost of justice to others.

Dictionaries tell us that phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating (IRRATIONAL) fear of an object, place, situation, feeling, or animal. Phobias are more pronounced than fears. They develop when someone has an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object. There are hundreds of such phobias in medical journals, such as: Arachnophobia (Fear of spiders) Ophidiophobia (Fear of snakes) Acrophobia (Fear of heights) Aerophobia (Fear of flying) Cynophobia (Fear of dogs) Astraphobia (Fear of thunder and lightning) Trypanophobia (Fear of injections) Therefore, Islamophobia is an Oxymoron since fearing Islam and Muslims - who want humanity to either submit to Sharia or be EXTERMINATED - is NOT irrational fear, but entirely rational. In fact, not fearing Islam would be totally irrational. Let us now deal with the FACTS...

Friday, January 12, 2024, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greeneheld a historicUS Congressional Panel in The Rayburn Building on Capitol Hillto learn why COVID-19 vaccination continues to cause record injuries, disabilities, and deaths, even years after the primary series in 2021. The hearing was attended by Greene (R-GA), Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), US Representatives Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and the witnesses were Dr. Peter McCullough adult internal medicine, cardiology, Dr. Ryan Cole, clinical pathology, and Dr. Kirk Milhoan, pediatrics, pediatric cardiology. All three manage various injuries occurring after COVID-19 vaccination. Approximately 75% of Americans took one or more shots, and of them, 94% received an mRNA product from either Pfizer or Moderna. Please take the time to review this hearing, and please share it widely with your family, friends, and colleagues. In the end, Senator Johnson made a plea to physicians and other healthcare workers to come forward, be honest about their missteps, and get on the right side of history. COVID-19 vaccination has been a biological safety catastrophe for the world. On January 12, 2024, all three witnesses called for market withdrawal of all COVID-19 vaccine products for safety concerns—it’s in the Congressional Record.

In the case Moore v. United States, the court is being asked if you can be taxed for gains you haven’t realized yet. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, arguing for the United States, claims that the MRT, or Mandatory Repatriation Tax, is grounded in the text and history of the Sixteenth Amendment. She points to several taxes that considered undistributed corporate earnings as income. However, each of the taxes she mentions predate the Sixteenth Amendment. Why should you pay very close attention to this case? Because, as a direct tax on something other than income, a wrong opinion from the court could open up a deluge of new direct federal taxes on everything from your home, investments, and even your childhood Baseball Card collection Read the full article... watch and learn from Constitutional Expert Paul Engel; there is always much more to learn back at America Out Loud: https://www.americaoutloud.news/.

If you are making New Year's resolutions, I hope you’ll consider some of these ideas. If, like me, you don’t make resolutions, I still hope you will consider these things you can do to help restore liberty and justice to all. Remember, as President James Garfield said at this nation’s first centennial: [N]ow more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature … [I]f the next centennial does not find us a great nation…it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.
