The Narrative The Constitutional Solution to Government Overreach with Mark Meckler
The world looks very different from the way it did just last week. In this episode of The Narrative, Aaron and Mike explore the decisive US strikes in Iran that successfully took out key leaders of the regime. The guys break down why a Commander-in-Chief must act on intelligence to protect our sovereignty; if you don’t project strength, you invite chaos.
They also celebrate that the Supreme Court recently stepped in to stop California schools from the heinous practice of transitioning children in secret. The Court made it clear that parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing and mental health of their own children, and that right is non-negotiable.
Finally, Aaron, David, and Mike are joined by Mark Meckler, co-founder of Convention of States. With the national debt now soaring past $38 trillion, Mark explains why electing "better people" isn't enough to stop the administrative state. Discover the Article V strategy to impose term limits on the Deep State and fiscal restraints on DC. Ohio is a "watershed" state in this fight, and Mark shares the roadmap for how we can finally restrain a federal government that has grown far beyond its constitutional boundaries.
