Who Owns America? The Forgotten Question of Sovereignty

Episode Description from the Publisher

America is navigating war with Iran, rising energy costs, massive federal spending, expanding executive power, and another election cycle. But beneath all of those immediate problems is a question we rarely stop to ask: who gets to decide? Inspired by the ideas Michael Badnarik explored in Philosophical Lighthouse, Secret to Sovereignty, and Good to Be King, Greg Boulden examines what happens when we stop questioning government power and start looking to government for the solution to every problem. This isn't an argument for a political party or a defense of one side. It's an argument for thinking consistently, applying constitutional principles regardless of who holds power, and remembering that sovereignty comes with both freedom and responsibility. Maybe the lighthouse isn't there to tell us which way to sail. Maybe it's there to show us the rocks.
