What Is the Plan to Stop Political Persecution Under the Next Democrat POTUS? | 7/25/25

We cannot wait until 2029 with a new Democrat president to somehow deal with political persecution when we have no tools in our arsenal. We must build for that today. Unfortunately, as Trump continues to make bad endorsements, we will be left with weak Republicans in red states to fight issues such as political weaponization. Moreover, we are not even changing things at the federal level. We’re joined by former FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who is warning that the FBI has not structurally changed its modus operandi. He observes how problematic personnel under Biden have been given promotions, the open-ended investigatory mandate has not been limited, and at the same time, none of the misdeeds under Obama and Biden have been punished. Absent federal reform, Friend is advocating that state governments condition their working relationship with the FBI to a framework in which elected sheriffs are in charge of task forces targeting people locally. Friend also warns about the use of AI to turbocharge the very federal entrapment schemes that the FBI was using under Biden. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
