One lucky college student will when $500 to go towards their college expenses tonight. We want to thank every single student who submitted an essay concerning the student debt crisis and for listening to episode 151. Listen in to see if you are the winner.

In this episode, Mike Riley gives us a very in depth and thorough evaluation of gun rights versus voting privileges. This past week we saw another mass shooting happen in the United states. Mass shooting after mass shooting continues to happen however many of the Republicans in the United states Congress say there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. While Democrats are calling for assault weapons bans, gun control and universal background checks, Republicans say that trying to stop mass casualty events which involve firearms from occurring in the United states is a futile effort. At the same time the Republican Party is laser focused on try to curb voter fraud, a crime which very rarely occurs in this country. Why is it that it's so easy to do something about voter fraud, which hardly ever happens, but so hard to do something about mass shootings, which happen all the time? Why is it that owning a gun is considered a right and voting is considered a privilege? Mike breaks it all down.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/44139602Thu, 01 Apr 2021 03:00:13 +0000Mike Riley NowWelcome to The USA Podcast Hosted by Mike Riley Episode 154 Tonight is the night.

Also, on theUSApodcast we dare to ask the question, are corporations people? If so, do they have the same rights as humans? Last week, energy company PG&E pled guilty to killing 84 people, but not one “person” will spend a day in jail. Why? Why are corporations considered people if they cannot be punished like people?

Many States are even going as far as removing their relics that pay homage to the old Confederacy which many see as a monument to America's racist past. But not all are on board with this concept. Donald Trump is not interested in renaming forts or tearing down statues in the name of removing racism. But why?

Also, with many calling for serious police reforms the question of what to do next is constantly coming up. Calls to defund the police and even disband police departments have been made but what does this really mean. Mike breaks it down.

This idea has been headed by Donald Trump who desperately wants to get the country back to normal. But why? Why are the Republicans and those in the Trump admin so anxious to reopen America with no remedy for COVID-19? Could it be because they want herd immunity? Listen as Mike breaks this down.

Also, there is a hard movement amongst many on the right who want to quickly reopen the country, even though there is no vaccine and not enough tests for COVID-19. This idea has been headed by Donald Trump who desperately wants to get the country back to normal. But why? Why are the Republicans and those in the Trump admin so anxious to reopen America with no remedy for COVID-19? Could it be because they want herd immunity? Listen as Mike breaks this down.

In this episode Mike has a discussion with Rob Anderson running for congress in Louisiana and Tiffany Bond running for the US Senate in Maine

Louisiana's 3rd Congressional District has been held by Republicans since 2011. But with many believing the time for a blue wave across the country is now, there are some who are fighting to flip this district from red to blue. One of those people is congressional candidate Rob Anderson. Rob Anderson is running as a Democrat to represent Louisiana's 3rd District in the US House. In this episode, we speak with him about why he believes it's time for this district to be represented by a Democrat, his stance on healthcare, gun legislation and his campaign. You can follow him by going to https://www.robandersonforcongress.com/

With Republicans and Democrats fighting to retain power and win seats in the House, the voices of the Independent can oftentimes be drowned out. However, many people are looking to hear from a voice going to Washington that is not taking a partisan side but an American side. That brings us to Tiffany Bond who is an Independent running to represent the State of Maine in the US House. We speak with her about why she has no party preference, what #MaineRaising is about and her plans for Maine if she ends up going to Washington. Follow her by going to http://bond4.me/

Mike also goes over the election results from Super Tuesday! WTF actually happened and how did Joe Biden take such a lead? Plus, what happens to all of the delegates from the candidates who dropped out? What happens if there is a brokered convention?

With Super Tuesday quickly approaching, many Americans have their minds set on who they want their presidential pick to be; oftentimes neglecting the other local issues and races on the ballot that are just as important, if not more important, than selecting a presidential nominee. For LA County Residents, one of those important local races will be who will be sitting on the judicial bench for the largest county in The United States. In this episode, we speak to Troy Slaten who is running for judge in LA County seat 145. We speak with Troy about the significance of electing judges, his feelings on criminal justice reform and what he plans to do for LA if he is elected. Follow him on Twitter @troyslaten

Also, in our second segment we speak about the issues that are surrounding the Democratic Primary including changing the rules of the debates to allow Micheal Bloomberg to join the debates. Is it fair to allow Michael Bloomberg to jump in with all of his money? Also, what will be on the ballot other than presidential primary candidates on Super Tuesday? This includes Prop 13. We go into depth what CA State Measure 13 means and what it can mean for California schools.

In the 3rd segment we talk about how medicare for all is starting to spill over the border.

It’s 2020 which means it is a big election year and there are many big elections coming up! As California voters brace themselves for Super Tuesday many are wondering who and what will be on the ballots. One of the most significant races are for the residents of LAUSD’ District 7 as they will be going to the polls to select a new board member. Tonight we speak with one of the candidates in that race Tanya Ortiz Franklin. We ask Tanya about why she thinks she would be a good choice for school board, her stance on the growing charter schools, special education and the future of LAUSD. Tweet her at @TanyaForLAUSD

Also tonight we discuss how the Impeachment of Donald Trump is not only putting the US Senate on trial but the entire United States Constitution. Listen in as Mike breaks down how the impeachment is calling many of the ideas the framers put into the constitution into serious question. What will the Senate do? Will it follow the rules or simply make up new ones.

We also discuss the 10 year anniversary of Citizens United and how that Supreme Court decision is still affecting us today with money in politics.

Listen as Mike Riley breaks down the Iranian conflict.

Also in this epsiode Mike gets you all caught up with where The US is regarding the impeachment of Donald Trump. What’s been going on and how come there is a stall in the impeachment process?

Mr. Ceballos has been serving in the LA County DA office for years and now he wants to take on the big job of reinstating trust between the community and the criminal justice system as well as make LA County the leader in criminal justice reform. But how is that possible in the most populated County with the largest inmate population? We ask him to fill us in!

We also talk about the protests that are taking place right now in Hong Kong. Why is Hong Kong protesting in China and are they right to do it? Plus we go into the history of Hong Kong and China.

We also dip into the power that money gives big corporations and the rich in a capitalist system.

The calls for a reform to our voting system have been loud for decades and these days many Americans are beginning to find pragmatic solutions to the problem. On tonight’s episode we speak with Aaron Hamlin, the Executive Director from The Center for Election Science. The Center for Election Science has proposed Approval Voting, a voting system that redefines how our votes are counted and how candidates win. We will be asking Aaron how Approval Voting works, what true election reform looks like and is it a possibility in our country?
In this episode we also talk about the elephant in the room that is impeachment. Nancy Pelosi has finally issued an impeachment inquiry for Donald Trump but is it legitimate? Are Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff trying to stage a coup or did Donald Trump actually violate the constitution? What was the reason behind his controversial phone call with the president of Ukraine?

The calls for a reform to our voting system have been loud for decades and these days many Americans are beginning to find pragmatic solutions to the problem. On tonight’s episode we speak with Aaron Hamlin, the Executive Director from The Center for Election Science. The Center for Election Science has proposed Approval Voting, a voting system that redefines how our votes are counted and how candidates win. We will be asking Aaron how Approval Voting works, what true election reform looks like and is it a possibility in our country?
In this episode we also talk about the elephant in the room that is impeachment. Nancy Pelosi has finally issued an impeachment inquiry for Donald Trump but is it legitimate? Are Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff trying to stage a coup or did Donald Trump actually violate the constitution? What was the reason behind his controversial phone call with the president of Ukraine? Is there a reason for impeachin or are the Democrats reachin?

Plus we talk about the history of the Kurds and their fight with Turkey. Why did Donald Trump decide to pull out of Syria and leave the Kurds to be slaughtered? We talk about the history of endless wars in the middle east and why leaving can cause major problems.

We are going to try the best to simplify the complex issues in politics so you don't have to.

In tonight's show we will discuss the fight the Democratic candidates seem to be having for the voters in the middle. Many voters say that do not want to vote blue because democratic policies are too fare left. But what does it mean to be too far to the left? What policies are considered too extreme and is that why many are uncertain in which way to go in 2020?

Also we will discuss the 18th anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks and what it still means for the United States. We take a deep trip to the Middle East to talk about the complexity of our involvement.

Plus we discuss the economic policies behind war and oil that keep the United States open for business. With recent attacks on Saudi Arabia, many are saying we may go to war with Iran, but Donald Trump sounds like he is only interested if the money is right.

Many thought this was a calculated hit, but it was done by someone who thought the mafia boss was part of the deep state. This was something he got from Donald Trump. Why is it that Donald Trump's supporters will follow him until the ends of the Earth, even if the facts show that he is not a good person?

In this episode mike digs into the theory behind why The GOP decides to remain silent when prominent members of their party do absolutely immoral acts such as blasting racist tweets and cheating in elections? Some members of The GOP find these acts disgusting while others always turn a blind eye or simply make an excuse for the action. Is it that they fear the majority of the population is becoming more progressive?

Also tonight we talk about all the racism that is being thrown around these days. After Donald Trump sent off a series of really insensitive tweets about race and ethnicity, blaming it on lack of patriotism, the discussion of race is now back in the mainstream. Is the race card being overplayed too much and is it hurting the Dems for 2020?

Also in economics we discuss what the CBO report for raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour says. Is it a bad or a good thing?

2020 is fast approaching and there is a lot more that people are worried about other than the presidential election. Some of the main issues concerning 2020 other than the election are the issues of Gerrymandering and The US Census. Now, if you are thinking “what the flying f**k are you talking about?,” I am about to break it down for you. Last year, The Trump administration attempted to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. Many said this was unconstitutional and just a ploy for Trump to find out where undocumented citizens are, so he can round them up. This issue was brought in front of The US Supreme Court and they struck it down, saying that Trump could not add the question to the Census. In the same instance however, they did say that States Legislatures had the right to redraw the congressional district maps and gerrymander their states based on the results of that census.
In this segment we breakdown what this all means. What exactly is the US Census? Why is it important? Is is really unconstitutional to add a citizenship question to it? What is gerrymandering? Why does it always work in favor of The GOP?

On tonight's show, Mike will be addressing what the government's role is when it comes to abortions and abortion rights. There has been much infighting happening in the Democratic party leading up to the 2020 race. One of these hot topic issues is of course, abortion.

Joe Biden's campaign recently came out and said that he will continue to support the Hyde Amendment, a bill which prohibits federal funds going to abortions. Many on the left has said this where Joe has crossed the line, however when this bill was passed in the 1970's, it had bi-partisan support. What role should the government play in abortions? Should tax dollars go to fund abortions and has the party moved left on this issue since it's beginnings?

We will start with The House Judiciary Committee hearing on White Nationalism. The GOP says it's a joke and they brought out black conservative Candace Owens to try to prove that point. She stated that it's a ploy made up by the left to scare blacks into voting Democrat. Is she right? And what were the findings of the hearings.

Recently a study was released by the Intercept suggesting that many of those who voted for Trump did so because of racial and cultural motivations as opposed to economic anxiety as many of us have been told. In other words, it’s not that Trump is going to bring our jobs back but rather he is going to keep the Mexicans out, ban the Muslims, and make the blacks show some respect to the flag. But is this true? And if it is true, is it wrong?

In this segment we ask the question of should Americans accept these large cultural changes and if not, was that the reason Trump was elected? Should America be a free-range melting pot with liberalism run wild or should it be a conservative haven where traditional customs are the norm?
This week we discuss The Republicans agenda of passing another round of tax cuts and making those that are already in place permanent. With Larry Kudlow promising entitlement reform and The GOP talking more tax cuts, we may be in for a large hole in the country’s deficit. Do the rich need another tax cut?

In this segment we ask the question of should Americans accept these large cultural changes and if not, was that the reason Trump was elected? Should America be a free-range melting pot with liberalism run wild or should it be a conservative haven where traditional customs are the norm?
This week we discuss The Republicans agenda of passing another round of tax cuts and making those that are already in place permanent. With Larry Kudlow promising entitlement reform and The GOP talking more tax cuts, we may be in for a large hole in the country’s deficit. Do the rich need another tax cut? We talk taxes and entitlement reform in this economic section.

What do all the conspiracy theories and threats against political adversaries mean in a democracy such as this? What is the history of those who have handled things this way in the past (The only examples I could find were Richard Nixon and all of the old Roman Emperors!)?
In this econ segment we discuss what the hell the role of government in the economy is. Is it to protect profits and property or to protect life and invest in its citizens? What can the government do to relieve student loan debt and why are private industries a burden on the economy? We also talk embracing socialism and why democratic socialism is not anti-capitalist. We also touch on the new “NAFTA” deal that Trump is making with our North American neighbors!

This week The Trump Admin announced that is offering around $12B in subsidies to aid American farmers hurt by the large tariffs that have been brought about because of the Trade wars. Although subsidies are seen as a good thing generally on the left, many are criticizing the administration for using a government bailout to fix a problem Trump started in the first place.

What does the Iran Nuclear Deal have to do with Russia, Israel, Syria, China, Turkey and The EU? We also talk about how Mike Pompeo and John Bolton could be the catalyst to war with Iran.

This movement has mostly been led by high school students, which has been vocalized by the survivors of the massacre. Since then, there have been a number of those, who in the interest of upholding gun ownership, have accused these young people of being too young and too out of touch to be able to understand the context of what they are saying.

Some have even gone as far as to build up conspiracy theories that these students are crisis actors, or activists who are paid by George Soros in order to push a liberal agenda.

Tonight on TheUSAPodcast we will discuss the history of young people in activism and why it is so important for the younger generations to evoke serious change.

What movements in the past have the young been able to sway? Why are the powers that be trying to trivialize the situation or treat young people as if they should have no say in governmental affairs?

We also will be speaking the importance of what many of the survivors of the Parkland Massacre are doing as far as activism!

As the weeks roll on in the bizarre world that is our political landscape the question of healthcare still hangs in the loom. The fundamental question of whether healthcare is a right or a privilege seems to be the main dividing factor amongst conservatives and liberals. Amongst this turmoil comes the question of what are considered rights and what are considered privileges in The United States? One of the most fundamental rights that many Americans believe in is the 2nd Amendment or “the right to bear arms.”

With all that is happening on the domestic scene it becomes easy to forget the events that place on the world stage. It seems as if tension is starting to form on a serious level between the world powers. With North Korea testing its limits, China taking sides based on economics, the refugee crisis in Europe, Iran, the Middle East, and Donald Trump, it seems that the world may be heading for a showdown like no other.

The purpose of this speech was to highlight how this idea of wealth in the hands of the few is unsustainable and how this has been the tug in The American electorate for years.

Why is that people having more faith in corporations than in government?

What will be the end result if we allow corporations and big profit interest take over our Government institutions and why are so many Americans okay with this??

1st: Segment: The Big Bad Media
It’s no secret that most major media outlets in the United States have switched from journalism intended to inform the public, into corporate entities indirectly pushing a partisan agenda or political ideology. This level of bias; which is often the direct reflection of the commentator, network, or sponsors, has turned many Americans away from media as a source of information. IN this segment we ask the question when you hear the word media, what comes to mind? What is our media? What is it there for and what is it designed to do? What is the potential harm the media can have on the public? If the media can indeed cause harm to the public, should it not be regulated?

1st Segment: The Uninformed States of America

In 2009 The European Journal of Communications looked up how informed are US citizens on civic, government and political matters versus other democratic nations (Denmark, UK, Finland). The US electorate turned out to be the 2nd most uninformed populace amongst the study. The Scandinavian countries were the most informed. What is causing this level of disinformation and how is it effecting the outcome of our society? Is there a "dumbing down" of America taking place? We discuss all of these issues.
