    Can American elections be "nationalized"? What does that mean?
    Mar 31 2026
    In this country, the states run elections. Congress is empowered to step in; the president is not. So what does it mean for the president to call on a political party to "take over." Is that allowed? What would that mean? And why is this happening now? We talk with Sarah Cooper from the Carter Center to understand who is in charge and whether anyone else can take charge.

  • Why are we paying more for gas right now?

    Why are we paying more for gas right now?
    Mar 24 2026
    Four years ago we made an episode about how the president has very limited powers when it comes to lowering the price of gas. Turns out, we hadn't considered every possibility. Today, we talk about how a president can make gasoline more expensive, by waging conflict in the middle east. Our guest is Robert Rapier, chemical engineer, investment writer, and energy sector expert. He came back on the show to tell us about the logistics of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, and whether there are any ways out of this.

It is hard to wait every week for a new episode! Fun to listen to, and on my favorite subject - american democracy. I appreciate how you guys break it down, even people who aren't nerds like me will be interested. My favorite episode is probably the first treason trial in the U.S. it really seems to include alot of founding fathers in a weird way... hope there are more federal case episodes to come. I appreciate the effort you guys put into educating.

Entertaining, energetic, and essential. Put this on your list of audible listens! Share it with your friends. Lack of Civics knowledge is starving the republic … here is food for life!!

Three Cheers!

Wanted a legal and an academic discussion of civics. They can’t help themselves to slant with a leftist viewpoint.

Was hoping for an even civics discussion but it devolved into a liberal leftist slant.

If you are a Make America Great Again republican, leave this alone. From chapter one, they call us radicals because we put America ahead of the world. It's a disgusting left-wing podcast. There is NOTHING educational about partisanship.
