Summary

Remember the “Don’t Tread on Me” crowd? The folks who stormed the Capitol screaming about freedom, small government, and their sacred right to the Second Amendment? Funny how quiet they’ve gotten now that actual rights are being stripped away. This morning, Don’s breaking down the hypocrisy, how the same people who once claimed to “stand up for liberty” suddenly have nothing to say when it’s other Americans under attack. Turns out, “Don’t Tread on Me” really meant “Don’t tread on us… everyone else is fair game.” This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

1:49.8	But I'm going to show you, can we take people to the White House, Andy? We just want to show the destruction and the demolition of America, because this is the east wing of the White House.
1:58.1	This is a live picture this morning. The house, the structure
2:03.9	that has come to symbolize America, American democracy and freedom, and we can talk about
2:14.6	the Constitution today, which we're going to talk about.
