Senator Mike Lee criticized a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled "Abortion Bans and Interstate Travel for Care After Dobbs," calling the premise a "made-up concept."

Judge Joe Brown discusses legislative attempts in Michigan to criminalize the use of incorrect pronouns, calling it an assault on the English language and the First Amendment.

Serafin questions the necessity of the FBI's $11 billion annual budget, arguing that modern local law enforcement cooperation has rendered the bureau's original purpose obsolete.

Serafin frames this as a symptom of a "police state" that is unaccountable to taxpayers.

A truck driver announces that American truckers are planning a strike starting August 31, 2021, in solidarity with drivers in Australia and New Zealand.
