In today's episode, Jim takes time to talk about authoritarianism in bygone days. This discussion comes in the wake of recent decisions from the Trump White House, who believes he is the only one who can decide what is right and what is law. History tells us those who declare "I Am The State" don't last and aren't remembered fondly in the history books.

On Tuesday Donald Trump issued a very significant and historic executive order, abolishing various independent agencies, bringing the power held by those groups into the Executive Branch, specifically The White House. Standing in the face a a great deal of precedence from the courts, the president is garnering more power and making sure that any and all work being done has to be in the best interest of the King's president's agenda.

Jim takes your calls, texts and livestream comments during the show answering your questions on this very historic moment in American history. We appreciate you reaching out to us with your thoughts on the matter and love hearing from you.
