Show Summary: We are witnessing global authoritarians resist the great push back. People are done with covid mandates, pushing back at never-made-sense masks and more. In Canada, the Freedom Convoy was met with Gestapo style tactics, exposing the lengths authoritarians will go to keep their power. Now Russia tramples Ukraine’s borders and sovereignty. Can this come here? What still protects us? What makes us different than places like Canada, which has it’s own Charter of Rights?

Original Air Dates: February 26th & 27th, 2022 | Guest: Jonathan Emord
This week it’s all about the authoritarianism we are seeing on display in on other countries — Canadian police trampling citizens and freezing bank accounts of people who weren’t even at the freedom protests but merely supported them from afar; Russia trampling on Ukraine’s sovereignty, and even here in the U.S.
Could these happen here?
Possibly, but it will be much harder — thanks to, once again, the wisdom and foresight of our Founders. Top Constitutional attorney, Jonathan Emord, tells us why America really is that shining beacon of freedom.
Jonathan Emord has quickly become one of our top, most-frequent guests. Be sure to check out his previous appearances.
